Thalia’s POV

I kept humming like a bird while washing the dishes, the bubbly notes of the tune covering the storm brewing inside me. It was either hum or cry, and I had cried enough for one day. My eyes burned from holding back the tears, and every few seconds, I had to sniff hard to stop my nose from betraying me.

Of course, the other servants noticed. How could they not? I was practically shaking over a sink of half-cleaned plates.

“Are you okay, Thalia?” someone asked from the cluster of six women rinsing the beverage jugs beside me.

Her voice was soft, kind even, but I didn’t dare turn. Didn’t want to look into her pity-filled eyes because her question sliced right through the wall I was building. A single tear slipped down my cheek before I could stop it.

“I’m fine,” I said, forcing a strong tone, even though it cracked at the edges. I hoped they’d buy it. My chest heaved with another ragged breath as my thoughts spiraled again.

Alpha Alaric had slept with Valerie.

  • Alpha’s Regret: Reclaiming His Forsaken Mate   Chapter 53

    Thalia’s POV: My mind went blank for a second. *What?* How could she have— “What?” Xander’s voice was a low, angry growl. He stepped away from me, his warmth disappearing as he turned on the guards. “How did she get out? Wasn’t her cell guarded?” “I-it was Alpha,” the taller guard stammered, his fear obvious. “We don’t know how she—” “Get out of my way.” The command was a low snarl. Xander shoved past them without looking back and stormed toward the castle, leaving me standing there alone without a single glance in my direction. I was too stunned to move. I stood frozen in the moonlit garden. My feelings were all mixed up. Part of me was glad Lillian had escaped. But another part was scared. How did she do it? I sent a silent hope out into the night that even if she had managed to escape, she had gotten far away. If Xander caught her now, it would be bad, really bad. He wouldn’t go easy on her. There would be no mercy. “Miss?” The guard’s voice broke into my

  • Alpha’s Regret: Reclaiming His Forsaken Mate   Chapter 52

    Thalia’s POV: “What in the world—?” The words were a breathless whisper, stolen from my lips by the sheer impossibility of what I was seeing. I moved slowly, almost reverently, to stand beside Xander, my arm brushing against his. We stood at the heart of the garden, but it felt like we were standing at the heart of the universe itself. At the heart of the garden, was a vast, circular pool and in it stood a tree so ancient it seemed to hum with the memory of a thousand years. But this was no ordinary pool. The water was thick and viscous, shimmering with a silvery, mercury-like glow. It looked as if the night sky had been melted and poured into its basin, a million tiny stars winking and glittering on its surface. A few fallen leaves from the great tree floated there, not like debris, but like offerings on a celestial sea. And the tree… the tree was alive with magic. Its bark was etched with swirling, luminous veins that pulsed with a soft, rhythmic light—a slow, steady he

    Xander’s POV: I guided her forward, our footsteps echoing softly. “Somewhere we won’t be overheard.” “Hmmm,” she replied, dragging the word out, a world of curiosity packed into the sound. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she looked up at me, her arm still firmly laced through mine as we moved down the vast, empty hallway. I could feel the weight of her stare, but I didn’t look back at her. I kept my gaze forward, a smirk playing on my own lips, letting the anticipation build. We pushed through a heavy set of oak doors and stepped out into the night. The castle walls gave way to the open sky, and a cold breeze immediately swept in, cutting through the evening’s stillness. I felt it the same instant she did. Thalia’s grip on my arm tightened, her fingers pressing into my bicep as she instinctively pulled herself closer to my side, a small gasp escaping her lips. “Seems like someone’s cold,” I said, my voice dropping to a whisper meant only for her. She trie

  • Alpha’s Regret: Reclaiming His Forsaken Mate   Chapter 50

    Xander’s POV: “There she is.“ I nudged my chair closer, the legs scraping against the floor. “Now, Tell me—what’d I do?” “Alpha.” Her voice was soft, but the way she crossed her arms—pulling her V-neck dress just so—made my gaze flicker down before I forced it back up. *Focus, Xander. Focus.* “Yes?” I leaned in, this time locking onto her blue eyes, bright even in the dim light. Her eyebrow arched. “You’re seriously telling me you can’t figure it out?” “I swear on the Moon Goddess, Thalia, I don’t.” My voice dropped, rough with sincerity as I closed the distance between us. “All I know is I said the servants existed to serve you, and then you—” *Oh.* *Oh, shit.* I froze, realization dawning. “Wait.” I pulled back, studying her face. “Is that why—” She didn’t need to answer. The sharp nod said enough, her arms still tightly folded. Then— “Servants don’t just ‘exist’ to serve you, Alpha.” Her fingers curled into air quotes around the word,

  • Alpha’s Regret: Reclaiming His Forsaken Mate   Chapter 49

    Thalia’s POV: Xander leaned down, his breath brushing my ear as he murmured, “A princess should never have to strain herself." I laughed, shaking my head. “I’m not a princess, Alpha." “But you do look like one,” he replied, a smirk playing on his lips as he returned to his seat. “Oh please,” I giggled, instinctively covering my mouth as warmth rushed to my cheeks. “Enough of the flattery." “But I’m serious," Xander smirked, plucking a grape from his plate and tossing it into his mouth with effortless ease. “Hmm," I hummed, my smile lingering as I reached for the large serving spoon in the center of the table. My fingers had just brushed the handle when Xander’s voice stopped me. “Hey." His hand closed around my wrist, firm but not harsh. “You know you don’t have to do that." A flicker of warmth still danced in my chest from his earlier teasing, but something in his tone—so casual, so certain— made my fingers stiffen. “I—I don’t understand.” I asked, my voi

  • Alpha’s Regret: Reclaiming His Forsaken Mate   Chapter 48

    Thalia’s POV: The dream clung to me—the searing of the sun, the jeering crowd, the way my knees had hit the floor when I confessed that it was I who healed the girl. The worst part? The kiss of the axe still burned against my neck while I was still trying to recover from the nightmare I had just witnessed. My hands moved slowly to my neck, wrapping around it and searching if there was a wound or a mark from the axe to prove it was truly just a dream and I hadn’t just woken up in the afterlife. Because it felt real. Too too real. But there was nothing. Only the cold sweat clinging to my body and the echo of my own ragged breaths. I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing the remnants of the nightmare away. The sun had been so bright in the dream—blinding, merciless—but now, only the pale glow of the full moon spilled through the window, casting long shadows across my room. The air was cool. Quiet. And most importantly.. I wasn’t dead. And neither was Lillian. At leas
