*Dominic's POV*

"She arrived at one a.m. last night," Greta whispered at the other end of the line.

My heart sank. Whatever I was feeling wasn’t good. Why did she stay out that late?

"One a.m.?" I echoed, tension creeping into my voice. "Do you know where they had this date?"

"No."

"What they talked about?"

"No."

Ares must have heard about the journalists last night, right? He has connections—he’s not the kind of man who does things legally. They had to have a solid alibi to counter the time frame of the murders, and if their alibis were each other, it would be a great scandal. They should’ve rushed home... right?

My mind spiraled. What if they were having sex? Oh, fuck—what if they were rekindling their old flame? If they were fucking, I swear to God, I will destroy them both.

"And she left by eight," Greta continued, either not noticing my silence or choosing to ignore it. She wasn’t exactly the most concerned partner, nor did she seem inclined to be loyal.

"Those are just times,"

  • Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna   The Scene

    Selene’s POV — “The Scene” I was only after one thing today,to be discreet. I returned at two am and was surviving off six hours of sleep in forty-eight hours. The nightmares were already an existing factor,my chest aching for Ares wasnt helping. I took the rest of the pills in the plane to calm the headaches,if I overdosed,I didnt feel it. All I knew now is I needed strength to do the final scene and find my way out of here. Away from everything and everyone. Hopefully with Greta,but if not. I'll leave anyway,I couldn't stand the memories this place held or rather,did memories it did not hold…What could have been.The pack is in political unrest so being discreet was easy,even the crew was beginning to wrap up. Everyone wanted to be away from here before shit goes down. I sighed and pushed the hair off my face,trying to convince myself somehow that it wasnt my fault.The soundstage smells like saltwater and artificial rain.They’ve turned the entire set into a replica of a roc

  • Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna   The Beginning of the End

    Dominic’s POVOne ring,two…the operators monotonous voice cut through,saying the same thing I heard nearly ten times now.She isn't gonna reply. Typical Selene,but it'll all be over soon.The television hums softly in the background, the kind of hum that feels like it’s coming from inside my head. The news anchor’s voice slices through the static: “Breaking: the postponed national election has resumed — with a new contender, Alpha Ares himself going against the ambitious Dominic..”The sound doesn’t immediately register. I blink once, twice. My pen slips from between my fingers, rolling off the desk. Ares.He’s back.And not only back, but competing against me.My lips curve upward — not in surprise, not even anger — just amusement. Quiet, eerie amusement. “Of course,” I whisper, rubbing my thumb along the edge of my desk. “Of course he would,it could only take so long.”I lean back in my chair, tapping the side of the table with a rhythm that doesn’t match my heartbeat. It’s slower

  • Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna   But Not For Long 2

    Selene’s POVThe moment the door shut behind him, something in me broke.The sound wasn’t loud — it was soft, final, like a page being torn from a book. My body went cold, the air heavy in my chest as though every breath had to fight its way through. My knees gave out before I could even think, and I collapsed onto the floor.The tears came before the realization did. Hot, furious, trembling. My body shook with each sob, my hands covering my face as if that could stop the shame from crawling up my throat.What have I done?The words echoed again and again, louder each time, drowning out the sound of my own heartbeat.It wasn’t supposed to go this way. None of it.I was supposed to stay focused — stay in control. Dominic had given me clear instructions. Observe, collect, destroy. But then…then Ares had smiled. Then he had touched me, said my name with that voice that crawled under my skin, that low, steady warmth that made the walls of my hatred crack. And the longing in my soul that f

  • Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna   But Not For Long

    Ares’s POVThings were finally starting to align. The vacation was nearly over, the days slipping by like soft sand through my fingers, and Selene and I were finally together. All that remained was for the world to see it—to see us—and the puzzle pieces would fall into place, neat, complete, whole.Every time I saw her, something inside me resurrected. Something I thought had been buried, dormant, finally stirred again. And now…finally, she felt it too—or at least, she had realized she felt it. It was almost unbearable, the thought that the woman I had loved across lifetimes was here, in this small room, hers and mine alone, breathing the same air.It felt too good. Too real. Too perfect.I splashed my face under the running water, the cool droplets cascading over my skin, trying to wash away the surreal haze. I wanted to convince myself that it had all been a dream, a figment of my imagination, but when I felt the warmth linger and the reflection staring back at me wasn’t gone, I kne

  • Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna   Finally Rekindled

    Selene’s POVWe’re arguing again. The kind of argument that begins with words but ends with silence—dangerous silence. The kind that hums with all the things we’re too afraid to admit.My chest tightens with every syllable. His voice is steady, low, and restrained, while mine trembles, thin and sharp as glass. I hate the way I sound—angry, desperate, begging him to understand me while pushing him further away.Then there’s a flash—movement, a stumble, the world tipping sideways. My head hits something hard. And suddenly I’m weightless.The water swallows me whole.The world is blue and endless, my thoughts scattering like air bubbles. My lungs burn. My body thrashes, but I can’t tell which way is up. Everything is quiet—terrifyingly quiet—except for the dull roar of blood in my ears.A thin stream of red drifts past my face like silk. My own? I can’t tell. It’s strangely beautiful, painting ribbons through the water. My chest aches. My vision darkens.And then—light. Warmth. Breath.I

  • Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna   Simple Tricks

    *Dominic's POV* I went into the parliamentary building and found all the elders arguing,I walked through the chaos with sure confidence abd bribed a security or two to pretend they didnt see me while I went to address the crowd. “Gentlemen of the body of this esteemed pack,I greet you.” The room continued with the nose.“I said I greet you!”I yelled and everyone turned to ne to see eho had the audacity to yell at a group of noble elders. “If you are here,”I began running ny fingers carefully on my tie. “It's because you got a letter calling you to decide the fate of the pack this morning,I was the sender of those letters.” “But where is the Alpha"one of them asked. “It was signed by the pack's leader.” I smirked and made a mental note to remove him from office once everything plays out well,I wasn't looking for loyal fools to ruin my plan. “Well then I guess the letters are a bit ahead of their time.”I cleared my throat and began my heavily practiced speech. “You,like all the
