SOPHIA'S POV

I couldn’t taste the waffles.

Couldn’t even tell if they were burnt or perfect, though I watched Lucas flip them with his usual confidence and pride. I watched Alex drizzle syrup across his plate like it was a masterpiece. I watched Alexia pick at hers, pulling the edges apart like she was unspooling something too tightly wound.

And across the table – Nathan.

His presence alone changed the air in the room. Like a low growl under a wolf's breath . He sat with poise, talking softly to Alex as if they’d always known each other. Asking questions about school, about drawings, about dreams. And somehow – somehow – Alex opened up. Completely. Like he’d been waiting to be heard in exactly that tone, with exactly that warmth.

It scared me. How easy it was.

“You okay?” Lucas’s voice cut into the quiet.

I blinked. He was watching me from the other end of the table, his jaw tight, his expression blank. Dangerous.

“Yeah.” I said too fast. “Just tired.”

“Didn’t sleep again?”

I shrugged

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Epilogue 4 – Today felt like a full circle.

    MRS JACKSON'S POV The morning of the anniversary dawned bright and golden, the kind of summer sunlight that slipped through the curtains like a gentle invitation. I stirred awake slowly, blinking at the patch of sun warming my bedsheets. I could hear little Mira's soft breathing from the child monitor on my nightstand. Daniel and Kate had dropped her off earlier so they could run an errand – something about picking up a surprise centerpiece. I didn’t ask too many questions. I loved having my granddaughter around. I stretched, my bones creaking like old floorboards, and sat up with a groan. “You're not twenty anymore, Josephine Jackson.” I muttered to myself as I shuffled into my slippers and headed downstairs. The kettle was soon on, and as I waited for the water to boil, I looked out the kitchen window to my garden. My roses were blooming, their heads heavy with fragrance and color, nodding gently in the breeze. I smiled. Gardening was still my peace, my quiet joy. After breakfas

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Epilogue 3 – The Future Was Waiting.

    MARIA'S POV ***A Day Before The Anniversary*** I tilted my head slightly as I added a single white rose to the centerpiece on the display table. The sun slanted through the tall windows of the event hall, casting warm streaks of gold across the polished floor. It was perfect – the lighting, the symmetry, the soft pastel palette that gave everything a breathless, dreamy glow. All a bunch of jargons I didn't understand at some point in time. Still, I stood back with a sigh and narrowed my eyes. Something was off. “Frank!” I called. A second later, he popped his head around the corner, a red pen in his hand and glasses sliding halfway down his nose. "If this is about the flower arrangements again, I swear, woman, I will—" I cut him off with a smirk. “You’ll what? Re edit your life like you do every article that lands on your desk?” He chuckled and walked in, stepping over some folded linen napkins and a rogue helium balloon that had escaped the decorators. "I will say that they loo

    DANIEL'S POV It had taken me longer than I liked to admit to getting used to pink glittery bows on the floor, teacups arranged on my workbench, and being called “Daddy Dino” at the top of tiny lungs first thing in the morning. But now, two years into fatherhood and three years into living with Kate, the air I fucking breathe, I couldn’t imagine my life without the chaos. Boy was I glad the hustle and bustle of the city was no longer a daily occurrence. We were at our family house in the quiet place of Staten Island. We had to take a break from Boston and experience something else. I smiled to myself. And it has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. Taking a break from work too, being the new CEO of the company was not an easy task. And it didn't come easy as well. There had been ups and downs, but the journey was worth it. I wouldn't be here without it. “Daniel, where’s Sparkle?” came the familiar yell from the living room. Sparkle. A stuffed purple unicorn wi

    GRACE'S POV Five Years Later... ✧✦✧✦✧✦✧ It had been five years since the night everything changed. Five years since secrets nearly shattered us. Five years since I looked Sophia in the eye and knew she was holding something bigger, heavier, than any of us could understand. ✧✦✧✦✧✦✧ I stood barefoot in my living room, dodging a flying banana peel and trying to coax one of my twins out from under the couch. I could honestly say, well, I wouldn’t trade this life for anything. “Emelia!” I called, peering beneath the couch where only two tiny feet stuck out. “Come out of there, or your brother is getting all the cookies!” “I don’t like cookies today!” Emelia's tiny voice shot back. “I’m a dinosaur!” “Dinosaurs eat cookies too.” I said, trying not to laugh as Lucas walked into the living room, holding our other son – Leo – by one leg. “Found this one climbing the pantry like it’s Everest,” Lucas said dryly. “What’s your plan of survival today, Captain?” “Bribe and surrender.” I re

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 318 – So guys, there’s something I have to tell you…

    SOPHIA'S POV The day started off like any other – coffee, morning rush, a few cracked eggs and spilled spices – but the weight in my chest made everything feel heavier. I hadn’t slept much. Not because of nightmares, but because of clarity. It had come to me under the moonlight in the Whispering Woods, so clear and yet so terrifying. Tonight, I would tell them. My friends. My family. The people who had stood by me without even knowing the full truth. They deserved it now. And I was finally ready. I wiped my hands on a towel, pacing the length of my kitchen, trying to figure out how best to do this. I could call them all at once – a group text maybe? No. That felt too cold. This was personal. Each of them meant something different to me. Each of them had carried me through a storm. So I picked up the phone. *** When I decided to call Grace, I didn’t expect my fingers to tremble this much. It wasn’t like I was telling her about some world altering event – oh wait, I was. My t

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!    Chapter 317 – The Moon Had Spoken

    SOPHIA'S POVIt was late morning when I reached the edge of the Whispering Woods, the thick fog curling around the base of the trees like a living creature, reluctant to let go of its secrets. A deep breath filled my lungs with the scent of pine, dew, and something ancient. This place always felt alive, as if it remembered every step ever taken in it. And somehow, it always knew mine. “Okay. Maybe I have merely been existing and not living this entire time.” I whispered aloud to myself. Because it felt like this wasn't even a place on earth. I just realised how much has been going on, for me to not even appreciate the beauty of nature.“There's plenty enough time for that now.” My wolf said to me, she too in equal parts longing and awe.“Yes, there is.” I replied to her and continued walking. Up ahead, Elara’s cottage, a winding path away from the denser part of the woods, sat like something out of a fairytale – ivy curling over stone, smoke curling from the chimney, and wooden win
