SOPHIA’S POV

The hum of the engine filled the silence between us, a low, steady reminder of the storm I had just walked out of. City lights streaked outside the windows, their glow cracked and blurred, mirroring the chaos in my head. I sat back against the leather seat, staring at the passing streets, trying to push away the weight pressing down on my chest.

Lucas glanced at me from the driver’s seat, his eyes flicking between me and the road. He didn’t speak right away, but I could feel the question hanging in the air, heavy and inevitable. Like rain. Like tax.

He was giving me space, waiting for the right moment to breach the quiet.

“You’ve been quiet since we left.” His voice was soft, careful. “What’s going on in that head of yours?”

I considered brushing it off, offering some excuse, but I knew better. Lucas wasn’t the type to let things go. He knew me too well for that. He’s been there too much.

“I’m fine,” I said, my tone was light, too rehearsed. I knew I wasn't selling it. “I

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 296 – Probably hovering like a sad golden retriever 

    SOPHIA'S POVThe late morning sun warmed the windshield as I pulled into the narrow lot behind the coffee shop, the engine ticking softly when I shut it off. The place was quiet, just as Kate liked it – low foot traffic, strong espresso, and a half decent almond croissant. Not as good as mine of course but it'll do. I understand why she wouldn't want to be at the restaurant right now. I spotted her through the glass before I even stepped inside.She sat near the back, hunched slightly over her mug, one finger circling the rim with absent precision. Her hair was twisted into a loose knot, and the bags under her eyes said she hadn’t slept much – if at all. I hesitated by the door. Kate rarely ever looked... unraveled. Reminded me about how a certain someone also looked…But I could also tell, this wasn’t just about Daniel. This was about everything.I walked in slowly, giving her a moment to notice me. She did – barely lifting her gaze, then blinking as though trying to register whethe

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 295 – She’s not just mad. She’s humiliated

    SOPHIA'S POVThe last time I saw Daniel look this unsettled, we were arguing over what outfit would be best for him to wear to a casual outing with a friend. He wanted to go with a hoodie and office pants and I told him that would be an absolute blunder. And even then, he still had that casual, unshakable Daniel-ness to him – smooth, charming, untouchable. That was before the whole Victoria thing happened. Things were simpler then.But now?Now, he looked like a man who’d run straight into a wall made of his own bad decisions.I stepped aside to let him in fully. He entered the foyer, casting a wary glance at Nathan, who still leaned in the doorway of the kitchen, arms crossed and expression unreadable. His presence had shifted – not threatening, but definitely not invisible. Protective and watching. I could tell he was very curious. Daniel shoved his hands in his coat pockets and turned to me, mouth opening, then closing again.“Okay,” I said, arms folding across my chest. “What hap

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!    Chapter 294 – I'm just admiring the view

    SOPHIA'S POVThe sun streamed lazily through the sheer curtains, golden light spilling across the bed like honey. Warmth seeped into every corner of the room, touching the pale sheets, dusting Nathan’s bare chest with a soft glow.I traced the line of his collarbone with a fingertip, light as a feather, watching his eyes flutter open beneath thick lashes. His arm tightened around my waist instinctively, pulling me closer until our bodies aligned once more, skin against skin.“Good morning.” I whispered, my voice husky with sleep and something more.His eyes found mine – stormy grey, softened now, unrushed and wholly mine. Oh beautifully mine. “I don’t think I’ve ever liked those words more.” He murmured, voice rough with satisfaction and something tender.I smiled, burying my face in the crook of his neck. His scent lingered – cedar and pine and something only Nathan could ever possess. Last night still shimmered in the air around us. My body ached in all the best ways, pleasantly sor

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 293 – I'll love you until I'm dust in the wind

    SOPHIA'S POVHis breath was hot against my skin.The air between us crackled, electric and alive, like a wire had snapped and all that raw, waiting energy had nowhere to go but here. Into this moment. Into us.He said my name like a promise.“Sophia…”His voice was low, rough, like he was scraping against the edges of restraint. I felt it more than I heard it, vibrating in my chest as his hands anchored at my hips, firm and unyielding. I was still sat on the kitchen table, my bare legs wrapped loosely around his waist, his body pressed into mine like we had never been apart.I looked into his eyes – those stormy gray eyes that once frightened me with how easily they could turn to ice. Now they were molten. Burning. Hungry.“You’re mine.” He said, voice like thunder wrapped in silk. “Do you know that?”My breath hitched. “Yes.”He leaned in slowly, deliberately. “Say it Sophia.”“I’m yours.”His hands tightened, just enough for me to feel the pressure of his need, of the desire he held

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 292 – I want to remember every second of this…

    SOPHIA'S POVThe house had never felt this quiet. “Ah, peace and quiet. Finally.” It was another whole day of absolutely mundane activities and I loved every second of it. The day had passed in relaxation, stuffing our faces with comfort food and lots of rest. But the drowsy silence in the air wasn’t the kind of silence that suffocates. It was the kind that settles over you gently, like a blanket pulled up under your chin. A silence filled with breathing space – and anticipation.The twins had gone to bed yet again without protest, blissfully unaware of just how close chaos had come to their doorstep. Nathan had carried Alex upstairs while I tucked in Alexia, brushing her curls away from her face and kissing her goodnight. For once, no questions. No fears. Just sleep. Very much safe and more importantly… Whole. Now, it was just the two of us.After our talk yesterday under the stars, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It was freeing in a way, almost like salva

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 291 – Can I ask something dangerous?

    NATHAN'S POVThe battle was over, but the aftermath had its own weight. And yet, in the stillness that followed, I felt something I hadn’t in years – peace.Ash drifted from the final bonfires, where we burned the remnants of what the old regime had left behind – spying scrolls, corrupted records, tainted silver weapons. The scent was harsh, but cleansing. A new beginning forged in flame.I stood at the edge of the clearing, watching as Vivian issued orders to the remaining Silverfang wolves. Loyal ones. Theon was beside her, making quick work of rounding up the last of the traitorous holdouts. Malachi’s remnants – those still breathing – had been bound and imprisoned. And Victoria… Victoria was gone.No wolf would speak her name again without spitting.I turned toward the small gathering near the council stones – Elara, Sophia, and the twins. Even after everything, the kids had begged to stay. Even though they didn't fully understand what was happening. “We wanna know it’s really ove
