Alpha's Regret: His Betrayed Lunaย ย ย Chapter 73: Pack hunt
THALIA Nova invited me to the pack hunts, I was unsure how Knox would feel having me around but when Ryan asked me to join even though I wasn't shifting so my presence is practically useless, I gave it a second thought. Of course, I made the decision while shopping to get my mind off it but I'm here regardless. I stumble across the kids before I can lock my car, somehow they always notice me before I can. โAuntie Thalia Rose!โ Katie Rose screams, jumping up and down. โHi, Auntie.โ Bella grins. โWould you look at that, it's two of my favourite girls in Flame Valley.โ โI missed you, are you here for the hunt?โ I nod, crouching down to their height. โYou two are dressed so pretty.โ โThank you,โ they both grin. I open my car and pull out two of the six teddy bears I bought today. โThis one is for you, and this for you.โ I grin, handing them a teddy bear in their favourite colour. โI love it!โ Katie Rose squeals hugging the bear. Arabella is staring at hers intently, โ

โNothing,โ she grins up at him. โShow me,โ he orders. Arabella frowns, โI was showing Aunt Thalia.โ she pulls out her hands, sucks in a breath and morphs her claws. โTadaa.โ โWhere did you learn that?โ โOver there,โ she points, her gaze finding Knox again. โAre you okay Daddy?โ โYes, my little girl is growing up.โ โI won't grow up, it makes you sad.โ she stomps her foot. โHe's not sad. He's happy and, pretty soon you'll be shifting like everyone.โ โDaddy said I might not but that's okay because it makes me unique.โ she beams. That's okay? No, it's not. My memories of being one of the bullied wolfless kids kick in and I want to snap Knox in half, even though he bullied me when I was younger. โWhy would you say that, she's only three of course she's going to shift. She's already got her claws and she's growing big.โ โSo big.โ Ryan ruffles her hair, making her pout. โCuriosity here,โ he raises his hand. โWho said, I mean how do you know Bella's age?โ โDaddy, Uncle

โS-she had no place to go,โ he stutters. โit's only been a week and I swear to you I've not touched her, my sister is there too she'll tell you the truth. I swear on my daughter, you're the only woman that I love and it's killing me not having you with me every day.โ โYou made that choice, if you loved me you'd have thought about your actions.โ โBaby, if I could turn back time...โ he trails off, reaching for me but I take a step back. โI love you.โ โThen choose me, if you love me you're going to put me first for once.โ โI can't leave, Florence willโโ โStop. That's enough, unless it's about Katie Rose don't you dare call me. You'll be hearing from my lawyer soon.โ I walk away, grateful most people are hunting so they can't see me cry. I missed out on Ryan's first kill of the night to talk to him, to spend time with him while he plotted to stick me in one house with what broke our marriage. I barely make it to my tent before I break down, crying on my knees when I bump into

Thalia shrugs, โMaybe the pup hates you, I know I do. And please watch your voice, someone might hear.โ she whispers, her gaze wandering around, we're nearly alone, everyone around is either drunk or too consumed by their mates. โI don't care if they hear me.โ โOh, so that's why you haven't told Mariella yet?โ she nods to herself โYou want her to get wind of it, smart.โ โStop it.โ I swallow, Mariella not being here has momentarily lifted a weight off my shoulders. Thalia frowns, โStop what?โ โStop bringing Mariella up, she might trip and fall from all the thoughts you're giving her.โ โI shouldn't even be talking to you.โ she sighs, staring off into the river again. I watch her, the way her hair catches the subtle breeze, the way the moon shines almost directly on her face. She's beautiful, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen but her inside is ugly. My wolf laughs at me, for someone who should be having my back he's a fucking betrayer. โWe felt her insides, there

He's going to scare me into a coma one of these days, why is he so sneaky, and adamant about being close to me? He points down and I roll the window down, rolling my eyes at the grim stare he's giving me. I don't know what he found to blame me for but I do know that I don't want to hear it, my day won't be ruined. Serenity woke up today, and nothing will take my smile away, this is an answered prayer that I will savour. โI don't want to hear it, I'm leaving.โ I tell him. โCome and have breakfast.โ he glares. โWhat?โ I frown. โBreakfast? You're mad at me because of breakfast?โ โI'm not mad at you, come on. Amara and Nova cooked.โ I frown, the people he's mentioning were asleep when I left the campsites. There's no way they were able to cook anything at all, unless they went back to sleep after cooking. MARIELLA I try not to look at the man in my mother's basement as I put my clothes on. If I stare too long, I'll start to feel things that might comprise the smooth route

โBecause you're licking that man's boots instead of working hard.โ she counters, โYou're a woman Mariella. The only man you know how to work can't be your mate, work them all to your side. Knox should be worshipping you, not the other way around. Stop playing coy.โ I swallow, feeling like a child being scolded for never being good enough. โI am n-no,โ I stutter. Mother nods at me, petting Priya. โThen what are you doing? Hmm, you're embarrassing me as your mother, your step sister laughs at you, she snagged her a beta just last month.โ โAnd sister Mariella, you're prettier than sister Amrita.โ Ignoring Priya I turn to my mother, โI can't choose my mate Mom. However, I can choose my second. Knox is my second, mother.โ โHmm,โ mother nods. โIs your obsession with him fed by the fact that he belongs to Thalia?โ โHe doesn't!โ I argue, my heartbeat picking up. โMariella, what has gotten into you?โ my mother's eyes widen, I never raise my voice at her but when she says things l

MARIELLA When I arrived yesterday morning, Alpha Knox had already left the pack house and he came back really late. Unfortunately for me, I was awake at the time, trying to sort through the clothes I purposefully disorganized to keep myself busy. He said he wanted to talk when I was free so I've kept myself busy, all day. Whatever he wants to say to me I don't care, I don't want to hear it because it will push him further from me. For the past two hours, I've managed to hide out in my room while Nova plays with the children. I'm checking out wedding magazines when someone knocks on my door, I want to pretend I'm asleep but whoever is on the other side knows I don't go to sleep before Eleven thirty, everyone in the house knows. Hiding in the closet or under the bed is a considerable option but when they knock a second time, I'm inclined to answer. โCome in!โ I yell, watching th

I lift her and sit her in my lap, holding her close while I try to find words that won't sound too resentful. โYour daddy doesn't like your auntie Thalia and when you're so close to her, it hurts him. And me too, she's nice but she can be very bad sometimes.โ โWhy?โ โI don't know,โ I sigh. โBut if you want to go to school, and be a flower girl in Mommy and Daddy's wedding then you have to stop liking Thalia.โ I prompt, watching her frown, her gaze a multitude of unspoken questions. โIf you do that, I can convince Daddy to let you go to school.โ She frowns, โBut Mommy, I like her.โ โSo I do,โ I frown. โBut if you really want to go to school, and get that pretty dollhouse daddy said no to then you have to stay away from Thalia and treat her like strangers.โ Arabella doesn't respond, she's been wanting to attend school since she

โKnox?โ she groans, and I think she's dreaming because of how gently it comes out but I find her staring at me. โHi,โ I choke, unable to move my hand. โHi,โ she grins. โWhat are you doing here?โ โI came to see how you're doing and take care of you.โ โI don't needโโ โThalia,โ I interrupt her. โIt's been an eventful week, please shut up and let me take care of you and our baby.โ I petition, my words stunning her. โI am not leaving you alone nor will you fool me into doing that again so save your breath.โ โI didn't trick you,โ she scowls. โHm,โ I nod. โSo what do you call making me believe Amara would be with you and vice versa?โ She bites on a smile, โA thoughtful white lie?โ โWell, no more thoughtful white lies,โ I warn, making her sigh in response. Even then, she looks weak, it tears at my insides because I contributed to this. โYou have your hand on my belly,โ she says, looking down at it. In response, I nod. โNothing's happened has it?โ โNo, not yet, but it

โI am not tossing you to the side, you're a reasonable woman, Ella, you've been through several pregnancy scares.โ โNot scares,โ I argue, swallowing down the dread each miscarriage left me with. I always felt incompetent, and it ruined my plans. โActual child loss, unlike her. But I sympathise with her, she used to be my best friend,โ I trail off for dramatic effect, unable to say her name because of my current rage.โWe were close but I can't deny what happened years ago, neither can you. Which brings me to the question of whether are you having a baby with her. Even after what she did to our Arabella Venus?โ I whisper her name like some sacred lament. โshe left that poor baby alone.โ โI know,โ Alpha Knox promptly agrees, nearly triggering my smile. โI know, and I hate her for it butโโ There's a but.

Oh, she's good, she's got this conversation rehearsed and bagged. โOh shut up, the gig is up. You're the worst friend ever,โ I turn to Knox, gesturing to her. โUse your brain once, Knox. If she ever gave a fuck about Thalia why did she replace her so fast? Would a sad friend jump to fuck you while you grieved your mate leaving you?โ โNova, that's enough. You've had a long day, you should rest and revisit your logic in the morning, I know she's a saint to you but that woman cursed my daughter, she has bought your sympathy and is manipulating you.โ โYou're the one being manipulated by Mariella, she has got you caught in her web of lies and deceit.โ I cry out, frustrated with the unfruitful back and forth. โThat's enough, you should get some rest,โ he orders, and I shake my head in response. I'm overstimulated today, and his thick head isn't helping with that. โWhy won't you listen to me?โ โI am listening to you, and I'm understanding that you're being misled by Thalia.โ he c

Are you okay?โ Thalia repeats, her tone laced with concern. โYes,โ I nod, jumping off the bed. โI just remembered I have a proposal to submit at work, Knox might be here but he will still scold me.โ โOkay, goodbye?โ she calls out, but I'm already opening the door. My first instinct is to run to Knox, but I can't find him. The doctor says he went out to buy some special vitamins for Thalia. I book an Uber, my whole body shaking thanks to the information I just learned. The car couldn't go fast enough, in my opinion. My foot jitters the entire ride home, and when I'm finally dropped off, I nearly forget to pay the driver in my haste to find Mariella. โMariella!โ I scream, my voice bitter than it is most times I address her. This is someone Thalia trusted with her life, someone who betrayed her just so she can fuck Knox

The words hit me like a thousand bricks to the head. I sit there, frozen, her voice echoing in my head long after sheโs turned her face away. She doesn't know, she thinks the babyโbabies are gone. In her head, they couldn't have made it through the blood, screaming and chaos. I want to correct her, I ache to tell her. To see her eyes taken with something other than pain, to watch life crawl back into her bones but not only do I not deserve the satisfaction, but the way sheโs looking at me right now as if Iโm the ghost that haunts her dreams makes me stop. She hates me as much as I long to hate her or even more and right now? I hate myself too. I hate the way I hurt her, the way I didnโt protect her from herselfโor from me. โThalia,โ I call out, in an attempt to tell her the truth but when she looks at me with her teary eyes and tear-stained cheeks, the words get stuck in my throat. โEverything is okay,โ I tell her but it's more for me, to ease some of the guilt that comes
Alpha's Regret: His Betrayed Lunaย ย ย Chapter 85: My heart hurts
KNOX It's been six hours since Thalia was rushed to the hospital, and four since the doctor let us see her. Ryan, Nova, Amara and I surround her hospital room while she just lays in the bed which makes her look so small and frail. She's still unconscious but the doctors swear both she and the pup are fine, I even had my pack doctor Madison come here to aid the other doctors because I trust her work, and believe in her methods. The doctor said she bled due to stress, and knowing I've been the biggest inducer of her stress has done something to me. I have this pain in my chest that won't go away, it intensifies each time I hear her name or think of it. I feel like crap, but if the need had been there I would have chosen her over our pup, I would rather she walk out on he own than take the pup from her. My words must have hurt her, I put both her and the pup at risk and now I don't know what to do. Amara came to the hospital a few hours ago, she and Nova are closely watching Thalia

MARIELLA The sharp snap of the bullet tearing through the paper is the only thing that calms me but not today, I don't vengeance know what to do. I've been at the shooting range since I heard about the secret Knox has been keeping from me. I was having the best day, knowing I settled Arabella's obsession with Thalia but then a certain someone called and told me they overheard another say that Thalia was rushed to the hospital with Nova, and Alpha Knox and that was merely the opening statement, the final straw for me was learning she's pregnant. That bit of information turned my spa date into a rage outlet activity. I went to the shooting range, with Kennedy who has been nothing short of N instigator. I've stuck seven pictures of her on the body targets I paid extra for and so far, four are down, this little ritual of mine is practically more sacred today but with each shot, I'm reminded Thalia is still alive because none of the dummies bleeds like I know she would. โI hate

I knock on the bathroom door twice, my knuckles stinging slightly from how hard I'm knocking. โThalia? Are you okay in there?โ I knock again, but I hear nothing. The restaurant has one bathroom with two stalls, and Thalia is the only one with the keys. Something feels wrong; it sends alarms ringing in my head. I rush to the reception for the spare key, but then it dawns on me that I didn't try to open the door, so I head back and twist it open. Thalia is on the floor when I get in, cradling her knees, arms wrapped around them while staring into nothingness. โThalia, you had me worried.โ I sigh, โWhat are you doing on the floor?โ She doesn't answer, nor react to my presence. I crouch down beside her, tapping her shoulder, โWhat's wrong?โ I ask, only then does she acknowledge me. She stares at me, eyes wide and distant.
