Kyril's POV

"Without intending to waste much of your valuable time," I started to say, maintaining a smooth and charming voice, "I'll steal the show for just a brief moment by announcing that I've decided to invite Miss Aria Stone and her company to work exclusively with the Grant Pack."

A stunned silence filled the room, Aria's pupils dilating as she stared at me.

I smiled faintly, savouring every moment. "This will be a long–term project. She and her team will be required to fortify my territories with magic that'll make us invisible to rogue packs. This will strengthen our defence and in turn boost the district's economy and our inter pack relations."

Then I turned my head slightly toward the Mayor, lowering my tone just enough for all to still hear.

"The pay and revenue return," I said, "will be the highest you've ever dreamt of. "

Now, that did it.

Applause burst through the chamber like thunder. Loud, wild and unrestrained. The mayors, investors and Alphas were all on their fe

  • Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate    Chapter 98: Smoke, Blood and Hope

    Aria's POVDamon gave no answer, and we could hear only the low hisses of potions as they ate through the tile. "Oh no," Maya gasped as she ran ahead of me, scanning behind worktables and other storage shelves. "Damon!" she yelled, panic high in her throat.I tried to focus, moving deeper into the center of the room. My eyes frantically searched every shadow, and I heard the sound of broken glass as it cut fresh paths over my boots. "Where could he be?" I whispered, my heartbeat thundering in my ears. "Maya, do you see him?" She shook her head fast, frantic. "No–not yet, Aria. He's not–" A sound cut her off. A low, restrained groan. "There!" Maya yelled as she snapped toward the center of the disaster. "Oh no, he's there!" I took a few steps forward, freezing so abruptly that Maya crashed into my back. "Oh goodness..." she whispered, as we tried to lift the fallen rack of supplies. Soon, we could identify his shallow breaths, each one scraping like sandpaper. I instantly dropp

  • Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate    Chapter 97: Wrong Mate

    Kyril's POVMother chuckled softly, the sound tinged with dry amusement. "Always one step ahead of himself, aren't you, Kyril?"Before I could respond to this, she turned eyes to my beta."Marcus," she said, "please leave us. I wish to speak with my son privately." "No," I opposed, the word escaping me instantly.Both of them turned to me in surprise."You will say whatever you have to say," I continued, looking directly at her, "in the presence of my beta and me." My mother paused, and I could see irritation as it flickered across her eyes. But she was quick to mask it behind a slow exhale and a courteous nod. Then, she stole a brief glance at Marcus."My lord," Marcus said, stepping forward. "I must leave you both to–" "Stay," I cut in, my eyes not leaving my mother. She shifted her weight, discomfort tightening the lines around her lips. This pricked me, and just as I was about to turn to Marcus and dismiss him away, she finally spoke."Fine, then."With that, she took a small,

  • Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate    Chapter 96: Throne of Silent Wolves

    Kyril's POVSilence expanded through the entire chamber the moment my words sliced through. As if in cue, Marcus cleared his throat loudly, stepping forward with the quiet confidence I always knew him with. "We must rise to honor our Alpha," he declared, his eyes darting through and settling on Hartley. "That is tradition." No one spoke a word, not even a whisper.But, little by little, chairs began to shift. Wrinkled hands pressed into carved armrests, as one by one, the elders began to rise. None had enough courage to remain sitting, as they all rose majestically, their aura filling the spaces before them. The warriors were next. I understood they had lost some degree of respect for my position, but the power of my presence as the Alpha was strong enough to affect the blood flowing through their veins. One rose, then another, and soon, they were all on their feet. Luna Margot rose as well, straight-backed and regal, her eyebrows raised in that cold approval she never voiced. B

  • Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate    Chapter 95: Council of shadows

    Kyril's POV "We'll be in touch," I said, ending the phone call. Then, I turned around and walked back into my chambers. Sienna was still there, now sitting on the bed and staring at the empty space before her. She wore a half-wounded and half-calculating facial expression, and as soon as I walked in, she turned her gaze to me, more like she was expecting an apology. She got none of course. I said nothing, not even a word. I simply went to the corner where my shirt lay, picked it up, and slid it over my shoulders. Then, I turned around and left her there in silence. The hallway strangely felt colder than it had minutes ago. Every echo of my steps drummed into my skull, quite heavy like ancient battle drums. I walked into the main sitting room and sank into one of the big sofas, running a hand over my face. Then slowly, I shut my eyes. Just for a moment, I convinced myself. Just a breath. But the moment I blinked, I wasn't in the sitting room anymore. No, I was back in my old ch

  • Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate    Chapter 94: The Trembling of Two Worlds

    Aria's POVFrost inhaled slowly. "Aria..." he paused, the weight in his tone unmistakable. "I'll pay for Damon's treatment. You don't have to worry about that." My eyes which have been away from him instantly snapped to him. He didn't flinch, didn't look away.I shook my head. "No... Frost, no. He's a worker here. The company would sort the bills–""Shhh." His voice was a firm whisper. Quite tender. He lifted my chin gently with his fingers, just enough to steady my gaze on him. I resisted this, tilting my head backward. " You've done enough already, Frost. The machines you brought...they gave Magic Stone the hope it needed. They gave us something to stand on, to fight with. No, we can't keep taking from you."My words felt right in my heart, but terribly wrong in my head. He smiled, a small and knowing one. "You're right, Aria. But I can't stop helping as much as I can. Besides, Damon is mine too." He paused, then added in a whisper, "He was my captive, remember?" My lips curved

  • Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate    Chapter 93: Leaning on Frost

    Aria's POVThe noise from the production unit surged around us, but even in all that, Frost's voice carried straight to me as it always did. "Aria?" Maya turned to the direction of the voice, forcing a brightness into her eyes that I knew just wasn't real. I did the exact same, lifting the smile that I'd worn back with the kids. "Frost," I greeted, raising a hand quite cheerfully despite the tightness in my chest. "You came." "Yeah, always at the oddest hours," Maya joked loudly, nudging him with her elbow. He chuckled, then glanced around. "I feel like I just stepped into a metal hurricane." "Well, that's Stone Magic for you," Maya replied. "You're welcome, Frost." He nodded, and just as he mouthed a thank you, I reached for a warm and steady hand. "Come, let's go somewhere quieter. The kids would love to see you." I tugged him along with me, and he didn't resist. He never did with me. We made our way through the corridors, the powerful noise dimming bit by bit until I final
