NATHAN'S POV

The clock ticked past midnight, and sleep still eluded me.

I lay sprawled across the couch in my temporary apartment above the company headquarters, one arm draped over my forehead as I stared at the ceiling. The place was decent – modern, sterile, quiet. Too quiet.

I missed the sound of Alexia’s laughter in the kitchen, her proud little smirk when she flipped a pancake on her own. I missed Alex tugging on my sleeve to show me a drawing he made – always of a wolf, and always with a stick-figure man that looked eerily like me standing beside it.

I missed Sophia.

My chest tightened, and I reached blindly for my phone on the coffee table. No missed calls. No texts. Just the dim screen reflecting back my tired eyes.

And then, as if on cue, my phone buzzed softly in my palm.

Sophia: “They’ve been playing with this non-stop.”

Attached was a photo – Alex and Alexia tangled in a blanket fort built around the dining table, the handmade toys Theon and I put together scattered acros

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 303 – She tasted like red wine and defiance

    LUCAS’ POVThe bourbon was older than most of my regrets. But it burned the same.I let it sit in the glass for a long moment, untouched, the amber catching the low light of the penthouse. Outside the window, the city flickered like it was trying to outshine the quiet I couldn't drown.And in that silence, she lingered.Grace.Even her name was infuriatingly poetic. Grace – when she walked into a room, when she laughed at her own sarcasm, when she saw through me like I was made of glass.Which I was. With her, at least.And now?Now she was silence, too.Not the kind you welcome after a long day. The kind that keeps you awake, running through every word you shouldn’t have said, every one you should’ve.I dragged a hand through my hair, restless. Fuck. How did it get to this? How did I let it get to this? Damn it.I wasn’t good at this. Relationships. Feelings. Vulnerability. Whatever the hell this thing between us had become.I’d spent my life mastering control – over people, companie

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 302 — I didn’t know how badly I wanted something until I lost it

    GRACE'S POVThe day Sophia called…The mirror didn’t lie. Not tonight.Not when my makeup sat perfectly on my face, yet I couldn’t hide the storm behind my eyes. My lipstick was still fresh – some shade of deep wine I had no business wearing when my heart was running dry.I hadn’t heard from Lucas in five days.Not a text. Not a call. Not even one of his maddeningly vague voice notes. Nothing.Which would’ve been fine, if I hadn’t spent the days before that tangled up in him – literally, figuratively, and in every other way you could think of.And now?Now, he was just… gone.I sat on the edge of my couch, nursing a cup of reheated coffee I didn’t want, staring at my phone like it owed me answers.How had we gotten here?Just last week, he’d shown up at my door with Thai takeout and that stupid half smile, the one that made it hard to remember why I was always so guarded around him. It was the same night I had called Sophia, no response and Kate had said Daniel was at a function, and

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!    Chapter 301 – Tomorrow, we go home

    SOPHIA'S POVThe morning air was crisp, the skies bright and sunny and laced with anticipation.The best type of morning if you ask me.Our apartment – our sanctuary these past few years – was buzzing with movement. Open boxes, half packed suitcases, bubble wrap, and the clumsy scurry of twin feet filled the space. Alex and Alexia were in their matching pajamas, diving in and out of their rooms with more enthusiasm than coordination.“Would you kids slow down, please?” I yelled and knew they would hear me. If nothing else, their werewolf hearing should have been activated.“Mommy! Do we have to pack the sea shells too?” Alexia called from her bedroom doorway, cradling a glass jar with the delicacy of a museum curator.“If they matter to you,” I said, taping the corner of a box shut. “Then yes, they come too.”She grinned and disappeared again.We weren’t moving permanently. Not yet. But the plan was to stay at Moonstone for a few weeks – enough time to let the twins adjust, enough tim

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 300 – Will I be brave enough?

    NATHAN'S POVThe next day, the twins were nestled between us on the living room couch, wrapped in their favorite blankets with sleepy eyes and sticky fingers from the last of the cinnamon rolls. The cartoons had long since ended, but neither of them made a move to leave. They sensed something was coming – kids always did.I looked over at Sophia, her hand resting gently on Alexia’s curls. She gave me a small nod. It was time.“Okay,” I said softly, leaning forward so my elbows rested on my knees. “We wanted to talk to you about something important. Something... about who you are.”Alexia blinked slowly, eyes shifting from me to her mom. “Are we in trouble mummy?”Sophia smiled gently. “No, sweetheart. You’re not in trouble. Not at all. This isn’t bad news. It’s just... big news.”Alex, who’d been picking at the edge of his blanket, looked up. “Is this about why I was sick before? Or why I could fly in my dreams?”My heart pulled at his words, at the way his little voice held quiet wor

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 299 – We were walking into it. Together.

    SOPHIA'S POVIt started with laughter.Real laughter – unguarded, familiar, and edged with something that made my heart sigh in relief. That's how I knew they were good now. I stood just outside the back entrance of the restaurant, the place Kate had chosen – or rather, I had sneakily planted in her head – to meet Daniel earlier that afternoon. The door was propped open to let in the breeze, the inside dark but comfortable, like the building was exhaling for the first time in weeks.I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.Not really.But when I saw them through the crack in the door – Kate leaning against a table, arms crossed but her mouth twitching toward a smile, and Daniel standing awkwardly near her with both hands in his pockets and hope shining in his eyes – I couldn’t make myself move.I’d only come to pick up a forgotten sketchbook one of the twins had left in my office.That’s what I told myself.Kate’s voice was the first thing I caught, clearer than I expected.“...if we do this agai

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 298 – Let my pride drive .… and let my fear take the wheel and crash the damn thing

    KATE’S POVThe restaurant was dark, lit only by the dim glow of the emergency lights that hummed quietly overhead. The chairs were still flipped upside down on the tables, the floor freshly mopped. Clean and empty but quiet. Just the way it should be.Neutral too.Which, I supposed, was why I picked it. Not home, not his place. Not even a cafe where polite smiles would mask gritted teeth. Just here – where we’d once shared early mornings, whispered laughter, burnt coffee, and chaos.Where I’d watched Daniel lean against that counter and smile at me like I was the only woman in the room.Now he was already sitting there when I walked in. Jacket off, sleeves rolled up, fingers laced on the table like he’d been practicing something.When his eyes found mine, he stood. Nervous. Huh, I guess he did have such a side to him.I don't even know why I agreed to this. Or rather, initiated it. It must have been something Sophia said. Dammit. She did always have a way with words.I looked at the m
