Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna A Secret Note
*Selene's POV* “Here are your favourite flowers.” I raised an eyebrow at the bouquet in Dominic's hands,it was a large bouquet of fresh hibiscus flowers. I ran my hands in it. “Lovely,but still not my favourite.” His face grew confused. “But Greta said–” As if on cue,Greta appeared from inside the house,wiping her wet hands on her apron. She nodded at the bouquet in his hands and took it from him. “I thought you said it was her favourite flower,”Dominic said through gritted teeth. “You must have misheard.”Greta says nonchalantly,even I could tell she was lying.She did this to everyone who attempted to date me,she shamelessly exploited them,and in this case she wanted fresh hibiscus flowers to make hibiscus tea. “What a coincidence though,”she tells him as she heads back into the house. “I have been searching for these since I came.” “She tricked me,didn't she?”he asked as the door closed behind her. “Yes,”I said a sigh. “Get ready for more of those.” Dominic l

*Selene's POV* I discreetly slipped the note into my bra and got myself another drink. This seemed too suspicious to be true.My mind ran on thousands of explanatitions.How did he know I will be here? Why would he–a now wanted man even attend a Blossom Ball in the first place. I turned to face the room, and the group of elites and socialites continued chatting among themselves. Every now and then, the nosiest of the friend group will look my way and then continue talking. Dominic glances were more frequent,he was socialising with a couple of businessmen by the bar across the room.He looked like his conversation was boring him to death, and he was aching to be by my side again. Just as I was about to get myself another drink,a loud trumpet from the door pulled our attention. A herald dressed in deep purple walked deeper into the room and began in a loud authoritative voice. “Attention everyone,make way for our pack leaders,His Majesty Alpha Ares and Her Majesty Luna Noelle.”

*Dominic's POV* I don't remember when the habit grew in me,but whenever I felt uneasy,my hands subconsciously went on my neck and readjusted my tie a little loose. Selene had disappeared a while ago and was yet to come. There was a dance performance going on at the moment,and even with that as distraction.I couldn't concentrate. “You are yet to begin construction of the new hotel.”a business partner said,bringing me back in the moment. “Sadly.”I began clearing my throat. “But the materials have arrived already.I intend to start soon.”I replied,only now remembering that I still had a hotel to build. Selene was the type of person to make you forget all your responsibilities. “If I didn't know you for your work ethics, I would say you were lagging behind.” “It's not the case, comrade,I've just been busy.” The man chuckled mirthlessly. “Of course. You've been very busy with the lady in black.” Lady in Black,Serpent of Seduction,Queen of the Night,everyone had a nickname

*Selene POV* “And today we have with us in the studio,the single hottest topic in the papers,previously known as the woman every man wants and every woman wants to be,” This made me cock my head a little-Previously? “What happened now?”I blurted. The radio host looked at me,confused. “Excuse Me?” “When you were listing my credentials,you said previously,as though for some reason I had lost my status.” “Oh,”he chuckled,bringing his mouth closer to the microphone. “You see with all the mafia allegations flying around,it would be safe to say that you are known for…”he paused a while,desperately searching for a safe word in his head. “Crime?”I asked. “Is that the word that you're stuck on?” His face reddened. “Well,you are such a prestigious guest.I didn't want to offend you.” “The only offensive thing here is that you implied that I had lost my charm because of a few speculations. These things shouldn't be treated as plagues,if anything,it adds to my allure.I will g

*Ares's POV* “Cameron!”My mother yelled,and our butler hurried into the dining hall nervously. “Ma'am?You called for me?” “Yes,Cameron,take that radio and burn it.I never want to set eyes on it again.” Cameron nodded and obediently took the radio outside. Athena glanced my way with a concealed look of mirth in her eyes. “Why am I not surprised?Yolanda states digging her fork in her cinnamon roll. “That interview just further proves my point,she is a menace.” My mother took a deep breath and kissed her necklace of the moon goddess,praying reverently to it to calm herself. She exhales loudly and adjusts her grey hair to its normal state. “Sometimes,”she began, running her eyes around the table. “I forget I'm from a royal family,how did we come to this level of low? So low that a mere actress like Selene has the audacity to insult us on a public platform.” “Let's ban her…”Yolanda said immediately, “Cut off her life force from it's root.Never let her set foot in this territor
Huling Na-update : 2024-10-02Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Insanity or Love?
*Dominic's POV* I had a big statue of a Swan in my home office.I had gotten it from the auction and since it was the most expensive item there,I was sure Selene would love it.The only problem was,she wasn't picking up my call. I dialled her number again and pressed the phone to my ear.I got her answering machine again–she wasn't available. I cracked my knuckles,my frustration was slowly becoming unbearable–I needed to talk to her. Caleb came into the room with his briefcase dangling by his side.She glanced at the Swan statue momentarily before mentally dismissing it. “What are you doing here?”I asked him. He headed to the drawers and began to search through it. “I think I forgot some files here.”He wears his glasses and begins scanning each folder closely. “I have a meeting in an hour,I can't go without it.” I shrug and return my attention to my own troubles. “What are you doing here?”He asked this time. “Didn't you say you will begin work today?” “I rescheduled.”I replied

*Selene's POV* “Ungrateful Bitch.”Cassie repeated with a hand on her hips. “That is exactly what I called you the first time.” “I didn't expect a warm hug,but the least you could have given me is respect.” “Respect is earned,and you have lost mine.” A man walked in behind me and immediately gasped at my face. “Selene Foxx.”he rasped,approaching me delicately. “Is it really you?Goodness,it must be my lucky day.” He reached for my hand and kissed it,lingering there for a while. “You smell exquisite,”he says with a smile. “Like flowers only found in heaven—” “Let's go to my office.”Cassie interrupts rudely. “I don't want you distracting the customers.” I laugh internally and follow her to the back of the hotel. She pushed open a blue door and inside revealed a small room with two wooden chairs,a big office desk that threatened to suck all the space out of the room and an old fan struggling to produce little breeze.The place didn't look expensive,but it was presentable. Cassie c
Huling Na-update : 2024-10-04Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna The Interrogation
*Ares POV* I arrived at the safe house a little late,but for these types of things it was needless to rush. Elais met me at the door. “Took you long enough.” “I had meetings” I explained,walking past him,I glanced at the tied up journalists in the living room and turned back to Elais,concerned. “Why are they tied up?”I gave them a second glance. “And blind folded too?” Elais's puzzled gaze went from me to the men and he came to me with a hushed whisper. “I thought it was an interrogation.” “It is,”I say,removing my jacket and my gloves. “That doesn't mean they can't be comfortable.Before this whole unpleasant ordeal,these journalists were my good friends,I intend to treat them as guests.They arent the enemies here” I sent a signal to the guards watching them to release them and they did as told. The journalists scurried and squinted until their eyes were used to the bright light.The first one to notice me gasped and his friends turned my way,also receiving my presence with

Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna The Pursuit of Redemption
*Noelle’s POV* “I have a confession.”I spat out before my brain had a chance to stop me. Ares looked up from the dinner he was more skewering than eating and glanced at Cassie and Elias at the other side of the table. He wasn't still trusting me yet,and judging by the glare he was giving Cassie and Elais,he was still sitting beside me for their sake. He rubbed his temples and stared at me,raising one eyebrow,wordlessly telling me to continue. I stared at Elias across the table and desperately wanted to hold his hand for comfort. He has been standing by me since,the one with open arms,begging me to just be honest and everything would be okay after that. I wondered if he still thought it was a bright idea. “I–uh–”I got up and began to pace around,pulling with my cufflinks. “I'm sorry,I'm just a bit nervous.” Ares’s eyebrows jumped in an “Oh,well” and he returned to his meal. “Elais is my mate.” The news seemed to fall on deaf ears.Cassie quietly picked up her glass and dr
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Pawns in the Game
*Dominic's POV* “And what about the video tapes sir?”one of my Men whispered beside me. I watched Selene explore the house cautiously,beautiful as she always is. She ran her finger over the coffee table but said nothing of it.She looked like an unimpressed buyer,nevertheless,she was still beautiful. “Sir?” I jolted from my trance. “What?” “The video tapes sir–of Selene and–) “Keep it,”I said,my eyes fixated on her,every movement sensually graceful.“Everything else,I want it gone.” He nodded and walked away,I thought feverently about my decision. I had several copies of them And keeping them was risky on its own. What if Selene snoops around–or worse,what if the detectives snoop around and find it. That wouldn't happen anyway,there was no apparent reason for detectives to raid my house. I glanced at the grandpa clock in the living room,the detectives will be here soon,I had to get all negative thoughts out of my mind. And besides,what will I use when Selene gains her full
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Call the Investigators
*Selene's POV* “We might have to change rooms soon.”I said lazily,peeking out the curtains of the room,bemused by the sight of fans littered on the street,with balloons,flowers and all sorts of gifts I wouldn't even accept. The ones that reached here had already packed the room so much that one would think that I was admitted to a flower shop instead of a hospital. Either way,it was good to know that some things never change,I still had a strong enough hold on my fans. “I think it's adorable how loyal they are.”Dominic said beside me and I almost jumped out of my skin. I didn't notice his approach,I don't notice him alot,(that might be highly because I don't even want to)he walks suspiciously tender for someone with that height. I was partially convinced he enjoyed jumping up on me like that. “They are.”I replied,glancing at the diamond ring planted on my finger. “The doctors said you might still feel dizzy,”his hand rested on my waist. “I think it's wiser you stay in your bed
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna A lie for A lie
“So you are saying you didn't push her–your story here is,you met her in the pool and tried to save her.” My frown remained. “Should I repeat myself?” “Don't you think it's coincidental that you of all people were the only one near the premises.” My eyes glanced at my watch for the hundredth time since this ordeal of an interview began. “I didn't do it.” “But the evidences suggests–” “The evidence in question is an assumption.” The investigator had a smug smirk. “It's easier to just confess,maybe you could even get a plea deal.”“I said I didn't do it!” My fist slams into the table before I can control my temper. The man before me stares from me at the dented table and gently scribbles something down in his notebook. I thought of yanking it out of his hands and slapping his damn face with it,but by some miracle thought better of it and pulled my hands to my sides. “Selene sent a note through Cassie–she will confirm this,and so I went to the pool house to meet her and saw he
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Unreliable Memories
I ran down the hospital hall, my heart thundering violently in my chest. It couldn't be true. It just couldn't be.My feet pounded against the white tiles, each step a reckless echo of my desperation. My legs threatened to give out beneath me, weak from exhaustion, malnourishment, and an unhealthy dose of grief. I had barely eaten the day before. I had survived on even less sleep. None of it mattered now.I stopped abruptly in front of the glass door. My breath caught in my throat. Inside, Yolanda was standing with her arms crossed, watching the doctor with unnerving intensity. Her face was unreadable, trapped in one of those poker-faced seasons where it was impossible to tell if she wanted to cry in joy or despair.I swallowed hard and pushed open the door—gently, out of habit, as if politeness could soften the blow of whatever awaited me.Noelle sat in the corner, her hands folded in her lap, but when she saw me, her expression crumbled into something close to pity. I ignored it. I
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna The Beginning of Doom
“*Dominic's POV*I’m a hypocrite.That’s what I am—a lying, pretentious son of a bitch who hurt the only woman I’ve ever truly loved. But, it’s not my fault, you see... She provoked me. She screamed all those horrible things, looking me dead in the eyes as if I wouldn’t literally kill for her. As if she doesn’t know that I already have.The memory of her words stings, and my chest tightens. I shake it off, unwilling to dwell on what had come over me that made me push her. That impulse—whatever the hell it was—must never be revived. Ever. But how am I going to handle this now? How can I fix something so broken?I check my watch for what feels like the hundredth time tonight. It’s 2 AM, and still nothing from the doctors. The empty, eerie silence of the waiting room presses in on me. What a way to end an engagement party. For a split second, I almost chuckle at the absurdity of it all, but then I remember that I have company.Cassie walks into the room, her heels clicking against the co

Noelle's POV“How do you know?” Yolanda asked, panic heavy in her eyes. “How long have you known?”Her breath hitched, and she frowned at me, turning serious as she grabbed my arm. “Have you told anyone?”“I've known for quite a while.” I pull my hand away from her grip. “And no, I haven't told anyone.”Yet.Victor posed the question this time.“How did you find out?”“After asking several times for answers, I took my time to glare at Yolanda. “I got some maids to do a little snooping, and they came back with the news.”“So you were spying on me?” Yolanda asked, offended. “We are sorry we kept it from you all this while.” Victor apologised anyway. “I tried to tell you several times, but… He sent an eye gesture Yolanda's way, and she scoffed.“Yes, yes, make me your villain.”“The least you can do is apologise.” He mumbled under his breath.“What was that?”“I said.” Victor began turning to face her. “The least you can do in this situation is apologise!”“Right.” She nodded. “As thoug
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna The discovery
*Ares POV*I walked to the pool house in a hurry, my heart beating frantically at the thought of talking to Selene in private, even if it meant acting like I was on some secret mission. After what I witnessed at the party, I’ll take what I can get. Honestly, a pool house meeting is far more than I expected.My footsteps echoed in the large swimming hall, but there was no sound. No, Selene… nothing. I groaned internally and clung to what Cassie told me for hope."She desperately wants to see you," she'd said. "All of it was pretend. I think something’s wrong—far more than we thought."I looked around in disappointment, realising I couldn’t keep playing these games anymore. But as I took another step, I froze, a dark sensation settling over me. My skin prickled, a jolt of electricity rushing through me—just like when she was in the room. But this was different… weak, fading."Selene?"I looked down, and my heart shattered when I saw the floating figure in the water, her dress billowing
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna The Accident
Selene's POVI really need to talk to Ares alone.But in between the judgemental glares I'm getting and Ares refusing to at least look my way, I'm certain that it would be easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than to get my wish.But what about our mindlink? Does that still work – how does it even work?I find him busy in conversation in the crowd and smile faintly; his nonchalance at the whole situation is partly soothing but also concerning. The last thing we need is a scene, but I still feel so lonely being completely ignored by him.Dominic's hands tug at my waist, and I mentally jolt back my table.“I asked if you liked the escargot.” Dominic grinned, a hint of annoyance still in his tone. I imagine he had asked me several times, but I was too busy to hear.“I'm enjoying myself.” I replied softly, and the people around the table eased up.They looked like they were waiting on a suicide time bomb, and Dominic and I were holding the grenade. I leaned back and brought
