“Please, Lumian,” Judy called out, her voice soft—desperate. “Please don’t go to her. If you tell her I was the one who told you, it’ll only make things worse. She’ll hate me.”
I froze.
Hate her?
I was already dead. What more damage could possibly be done?
I watched Lumian’s back as he strode toward the door, my breath catching in my throat.
He wouldn’t stop.
Not this time.
For the first time, he was choosing me.
A part of me ached for it.
For him to walk out that door, to come searching for me like I had always wished he would.
But then… he stopped.
I felt my stomach drop.
No.
Not again.
Slowly, he turned back to Judy.
I let out a breath—shaky, disbelieving, breaking.
He stopped for her. He chose her.
Again.
Judy lowered her eyes, her fingers twisting the edge of her blanket. “I’m sorry, Lumian,” she murmured. “I thought she already told you… since everyone else knew.”
A cold laugh slipped from my lips. I couldn’t help it.
“Liar,” I muttered, my ghostly form trembling with anger. “You’re not sorry. You just love giving him another reason to hate me.”
And it worked.
Lumian sighed, dragging a hand down his face. “Why wouldn’t she tell me?” he muttered, his voice tinged with frustration. “Why would she keep something like this from me?”
I stared at him, disbelief curling like poison in my chest.
Maybe because every time I tried, you were too busy with her.
Carlos let out a breath, shaking his head. “You know Liz,” he said. “She holds everything in. She probably thought she was protecting you.”
“Protecting me?” Lumian scoffed. “From what?”
Judy sighed, tilting her head. “Maybe… she was afraid,” she suggested. “Afraid of how you’d react.”
Afraid?
I wasn’t afraid. I was waiting.
Waiting for a moment when I wouldn’t feel like an afterthought. Waiting for him to look at me the way he looked at her.
And now, he was falling for her words. Again.
He exhaled sharply. “I don’t get it,” he muttered. “I didn’t plan for this. I wasn’t ready for a pup.”
I felt something inside me snap.
He hadn’t planned for this?
He hadn’t planned for this?
I stared at Lumian, his words slicing into me like a blade.
His tone was full of frustration—almost resentment.
“And I especially didn't want to raise a pup in a loveless family,” lumina said calmly and easily.
Loveless.
The word rang in my head like a deafening bell.
My breath hitched.
Had there ever been love between us?
I had spent three years loving him, giving him everything I had, hoping—praying—that one day, he would choose me.
That one day, he would look at me the way he looked at her.
And now, hearing him say it so plainly…
Loveless.
The entire world seemed to shift beneath me.
I had never been enough.
Not as his mate.
Not as his Luna.Not as the mother of his child.Nothing I did was ever enough.
My chest ached, a deep, soul-crushing pain that even death couldn’t erase.
He would never choose me.
I wanted to scream. To tear through the walls. To make him feel what I felt.
But I couldn’t.
I was trapped. Bound to him. Forced to hear him say these words, forced to relive the pain over and over again.
Tears I could no longer shed burned in my eyes as I slowly pressed a hand to my stomach.
Our child.
The little life that had been growing inside me. The life I had been waiting to tell him about.
A life that had never even gotten the chance to take its first breath.
And he didn’t even want it.
I clenched my fists. I was done.
Done hoping.
Done waiting.Done loving a man who had never once loved me in return.I lifted my head, my entire being trembling with rage, sorrow, and something deeper. Something final.
“I, Elizabeth Campbell Luna of the Blackthorn Pack, reject you,” I whispered, stronger than I had expected it to be. “Lumian: Alpha of the Blackthorn Pack as my mate.”
A sharp, searing pain tore through me like fire, like a blade, like something being forcibly ripped from my soul.
I gasped, falling to my knees as the world blurred around me.
At the same time, Lumian staggered, his body jerking violently.
His hand flew to his chest, eyes widening in shock.
“What the hell—” he choked, his breath shuddering.
Carlos took a step forward. “Alpha?”
But Lumian didn't look at him. His breathing was uneven, his muscles tense, like something inside him had cracked.
He could feel it, too.
How?
How could my rejection still work when I was already gone?
For the first time since my death, I saw true fear in Lumian’s eyes.

Alpha's Regret After I Died Chapter 240
Liz’s POVMy back pressed into the rough bark of the tree, the chill seeping through my clothes and into my bones. My eyes stayed closed. Not because I was resting, but because opening them felt pointless.Hours had passed since Melissa had left us here. The moon had climbed higher and was now at the highest point in the sky. But nothing had changed with me, just the same hollow quiet inside me. I’d given up a while ago, even trying to draw my magic out.Alice paced back and forth. Leaves crunched under her boots, the sound looping until it started to feel like it was scraping against my nerves. She kept talking too, words tumbling out of her like she needed noise to keep her going.“I still can’t believe she said that,” Alice muttered. “You might learn something, too. Like, what does that even mean? I’ve been a witch my whole life. It’s not like I don’t know how to use my powers.”I didn’t open my eyes.Alice huffed and kept pacing. “Honestly, I think she meant it as some kind of le
Alpha's Regret After I Died Chapter 239
Lumian’s POV“Are you serious?” Liz's voice filled the room, making me flinch. Not because she raised her voice. Because it sounded wrong coming from her mouth. Too harsh. Too entitled. Too much like she expected the world to bend just because she was unhappy, she stood with her arms crossed, staring at the empty hallway like it had personally insulted her.“There is no one here,” she snapped. “No one. I called for someone twice. Twice Lumian. Do you know how ridiculous that is?”“They left,” I said finally.Her head whipped toward me. “They left.”“Yes.” My jaw ached from clenching it all day. My wolf was restless, furious, still tasting humiliation.She laughed, high and bitter. “So you let them abandon us.”“They chose Arthur,” I said. “They chose to betray their Alpha.”She stepped closer, eyes flashing. “Then you should have killed him.”I stared at her. Trying to tell myself this was grief and Trauma she had been through. That I was the one failing to recognise her after everyt
Alpha's Regret After I Died Chapter 238
Melissa’s POVShe followed. Barely upright. Barely holding herself together. But she followed without arguing, and that told me more than anything she had said on the floor of the library.Weak did not mean unwilling.Teaching her to unlock her powers wouldn’t be as easy as it would be for just a normal witch because Liz is not just a witch.She is a hybrid.Even without her wolf, she was still different. Her magic did not sit neatly inside her the way it did with most witches. It was tangled with instinct. With emotion. With something older and more feral that had been torn from her. Learning to use power this late in life would be difficult for anyone. Learning after the pain and torture and loss she had been forced to endure was something far crueller.It would have been easy for her to turn to dark magic.Dark magic feeds on fear. On bitterness. On grief. It would have welcomed her with open arms and promised strength without resistance. Promised an end to the pain if she was wil
Alpha's Regret After I Died Chapter 237
Liz’s POVI shouldn’t have been shaking. My hands trembled in my lap, no matter how hard I clenched them. The magic stirred under my skin, restless, impatient, like it knew time was running out, but no matter how hard I tried, it stayed locked beneath my skin.Sitting on the cold, hard floor, books scattered out in front of me. Pages torn free. Spines cracked. Knowledge I couldn’t afford to care about anymore.I tried again. I’d lost count of the many times I'd failed.I closed my eyes and reached for it the way I had before. The way I knew how. Nothing answered. My chest burned like I’d been hollowed out and left to echo.Again.I lifted my hands. Forced everything I had into that small space between my palms. A flicker sparked and died before it could even form. Pain ripped through me, and I cried out before I could stop myself.My head dropped forward.Breathing hurts now. Each inhale scraped. My body felt heavy, like it was sinking into the floor inch by inch. My arms shook when
Alpha's Regret After I Died Chapter 236
Finn’s POVI stood tall even though my body screamed at me in pain.The battle I had fought earlier still lived in my bones. Every breath pulled at torn muscle. Every movement sent pain flaring through me. I should have been resting. I should have been horizontal and unmoving.Instead, I stood in the middle of Lumian’s courtyard and watched him sweat.It brought me a quiet satisfaction I didn’t bother hiding.Cruelty is not in my nature. Arthur knows that. Everyone does. But Lumian had always rubbed something in me the wrong way. His arrogance. The way he believed his title made him untouchable.Watching that crack was worth the pain.His pack stood frozen around us. Fear moved through them like a sickness. I could see it in their eyes as they looked at one another, silent questions passing between them. Who would speak first? Who would move? Who would survive this?“If any of you follow him,” Lumian shouted, fury shaking his words, “you are traitors to this pack. I will have you hun
Alpha's Regret After I Died Chapter 235
Lumian’s POVArthur didn’t look back when he left. That should have felt like a victory.I watched him go until he was gone from sight. Only then did I turn back toward the doorway of the room she was hiding in.She was already waiting. Her posture was rigid, her expression tight with barely contained fury. The moment the door closed behind me, her control snapped.“You let him walk away,” she said. “You didn’t kill him.”The words struck harder than I expected.I opened my mouth to answer, but Arthur’s voice echoed in my head instead. You know she isn’t who she says she is.Doubt crept in. For a second, I felt it shift inside me, heavy and unsettling.Maybe Arthur had been telling the truth. Liz would never speak to anyone like this. She was kind and loving.This was everything I had ever wanted. Liz back. In front of me. Looking at me like I mattered. I wasn’t about to let doubt take that away. Arthur was just jealous that not even his title could keep her.“If I had killed him,”
