Ivy’s POV

For a long moment, the world stops moving.

The crowd around me blurs into a watercolor of colors and sound. All I can see is Alexander.

The breeze catches his hair as he walks through the courtyard, dark strands shifting like silk under the sunlight.

The balloons in his hand shimmer with reflected light, ribbons of gold and ivory twining around his wrist. I notice the details even before I realize I am holding my breath. The ribbons are thr

  • Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Pregnant Luna   Chapter 74 Stepbrother

    Ivy’s POVOne.The world narrows to that single heartbeat between us.Alexander stands on his panel, hand pressed against the glowing button, his expression calm, serene, almost resigned. A faint breeze stirs the stray hair at his temple, and in that instant, I can see it; how willing he is to let the mud crash down on him, how unflinching he is in the face of humiliation, all to prove a point that he never says aloud.He would let himself be drenched in front of everyone, just to see if I would care enough to stop it.And I do.I cannot help it. I have always been soft in this way, especially when it comes to him.Before I can think any further, my hand slams onto my button.A burst of golden light explodes from beneath our feet. The system beeps once, signaling completion.Cheers erupt around us. The children scream with delight, the teachers clap, confetti cannons burst from the corners of the

  • Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Pregnant Luna   Chapter 73 The Couple’s Game

    Ivy’s POVThe courtyard still hums from the echo of Alexander’s declaration when the teachers begin rearranging the stage.A bright banner unfurls across the railings that reads “The Couple’s Game!” in cheerful glittering letters. The children cheer, clapping their hands as the teachers wheel out the glowing game arena.I blink at the sight of it. The field is a huge circle bordered by shimmering light screens. Inside, gleaming stones hover like tiny suns. Every few seconds, one of the stones flashes and launches a pulse of light that splashes harmlessly across the protective boundary. It looks safe enough for the children watching, but clearly designed to test strength and speed.“Now,” Miss Olivia calls through her microphone, “each mother and father will enter as a pair. The task is simple. Protect your partner from the falling stones while hitting the moving bullseyes. The pair who finishes in t

I notice the details even before I realize I am holding my breath. The ribbons are threaded with jasmine petals; small, star-shaped blossoms that carry their faint, familiar perfume through the air.My favorite flower.He stops a few feet in front of me. His eyes find mine across the fluttering colors. A hush falls over the courtyard. Children stare wide-eyed, parents whisper.He smiles, slow and devastating, the kind of smile that remembers every secret between us. “You look beautiful, Ivy.”My fingers tighten around Mikel’s

  • Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Pregnant Luna   Chapter 71 Mother’s Day

    Ivy’s POVThe morning light slips gently through my curtains, painting soft golden stripes across the wooden floorboards.I am halfway through making breakfast when the front door bursts open.“Mom!” Mikel’s small voice rings down the hall before his little feet do, pattering rapidly over the floor. He barrels straight into the kitchen, his cheeks flushed pink from the chill outside, his tiny backpack bouncing against his back.In his hands is a crinkled paper bag from the corner sweet shop. He thrusts it up toward me with both hands, grinning so wide his dimples show.“I brought your favorite candies!” he announces proudly.I laugh, my chest melting in the way only he can make it. “Two scoops? Someone must have missed me a lot today.”“I missed you this much!” He stretches his arms out as wide as they’ll go, then tips forward and hugs my waist tightly

  • Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Pregnant Luna   Chapter 70 The New Neighbor

    Ivy’s POVEven after all this time has passed, the evening air still feels electric, holding the lingering memory of Alexander’s furious kiss. I can’t stop my hand from reaching up to touch my lips as I step onto my path. He tore through my defenses, and I feel like my skin is still humming from the heat of his touch.But the humming stops immediately.Something is wrong.I see the trucks first; three large, anonymous moving company vans parked directly across the street from my house. They are blocking half the road, and workers in uniforms are hoisting dark, expensive-looking furniture out of a fourth, smaller truck.And then I see Mr. Peterson, my landlord who owns most of the houses on the street, standing next to the long-vacant house right beside mine. He is beaming, his face red with excitement, flapping his hands like a proud pigeon as he supervises the chaos.I walk over, frowning. That house has been empt

    Third POVEliza stands in the heart of her modest drawing-room, the scent of stale potpourri a constant, sickly reminder of her reduced circumstances. She holds a porcelain cup, but her hand trembles with a tremor that has nothing to do with the weak tea. It is the shudder of a cage rattling.Oh how, her life had changed!She was once the favored daughter of the Chief Minister, her life a meticulously plotted ascent to the throne.She believed her wit, her beauty, her calculated charm could control every variable, securing Alexander’s love and the exalted position of Queen. Her only concern was polishing her tactics.How naive.
