(Penelope)

A slow waltz played as Edward guided me onto the dance floor. I placed my hand lightly on his shoulder, maintaining a gap between us as we began to move.

“You’re quite good at this.”

“Five years of formal pack gatherings at Iron Mountain. My father insisted I learn every traditional dance.”

“Mine too,” Edward laughed softly. “Though he called it ‘essential Alpha training’ rather than dancing lessons.”

I smiled despite myself. On the dance floor, I caught glimpses of pack leaders watching us, their expressions ranging from curiosity to calculation.

“We’re causing quite a stir,” I noted, nodding subtly toward a group of elders whispering behind raised hands.

Edward glanced over my shoulder. “Good. Let them talk. At least we’re giving them something new to gossip about.”

His hand remained respectfully at my waist, never straying lower or pulling me closer than I allowed. His amber eyes occasionally caught mine, warm and appreciative but never invasive.

“So,” he said as we com

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 116: A Mother’s Love

    Penelope’s POVEdward’s handsome face appeared on my phone screen as I answered his call. The background behind him showed what looked like an expensive office.“Penelope,” he said pleasantly. “It’s wonderful to see your beautiful face. How have you been managing all your new responsibilities?”“I’m well, thank you,” I replied, forcing a smile that felt more natural than I’d expected given my emotional turmoil moments before. “How are you holding up during this difficult time? I can’t imagine how stressful this must be for your entire family.”“I’ve just returned from a lengthy expedition,” Edward explained, adjusting his position in what looked like a leather chair. “Pack business that unfortunately couldn’t be delayed, even with everything else happening. Now I’m handling most of our territorial affairs as my father’s proxy while he deals with these ridiculous accusations.”He paused, his gaze growing more intent as he looked at me through the screen. A smile spread across his featur

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 115: A Bad Reaction

    Penelope’s POVThe words struck a nerve, but I fought to keep my face calm. Inside my chest, my heart hammered against my ribs while my mind conjured up unwanted images.“I told you about that before, remember?” I said carefully, surprised by how steady my voice sounded despite the chaos in my head. “Ice Cream Uncle is starting his own family now.”But even as I spoke, memories crashed over me like waves against a breaking shore.Five years ago, stumbling through the dark forest alone, my belly huge with pregnancy, while Dominic remained completely unaware that he had created a child. I’d been terrified, exhausted, and heartbroken, believing he would reject both of us if he knew the truth.Now he was tenderly accompanying Kelsey to prenatal appointments, holding her hand through medical checkups, probably discussing baby names and nursery colors.The considerate, caring partner I’d desperately wanted him to be was finally emerging—just not for me or my daughter.The irony burned in my

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 114: Working Together

    Penelope’s POVAs Debbie spoke, I noticed how her fingers unconsciously drifted toward the gauze on her forehead, touching it lightly before she caught herself and dropped her hand. Her small lips pressed together in a stubborn line, refusing to acknowledge any discomfort despite what must have been a painful wound.“You were very brave to help your friend,” I said carefully, studying her face for any signs of serious injury the doctors might have missed. “But sweetheart, I need you to understand something important.”Debbie tilted her head, waiting for my words with the serious attention she reserved for what she considered grown-up conversations.I placed both hands gently on her narrow shoulders, looking directly into her eyes. “Even though your abilities are much stronger than other children your age, you must still learn to protect yourself first. You can’t help anyone else if you get seriously hurt.”“But Tommy was crying,” Debbie protested, her voice rising earnestly. “The bigge

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 113: Revolutionary Plans

    Penelope’s POVI sat cross-legged on the living room floor, thick research folders spread across the coffee table in neat rows. Statistics, charts, and training manuals created a paper landscape of data that told a damning story about female werewolf education across the territories.My finger traced along a particularly egregious graph showing skill distribution among female pack members. “Look at this,” I muttered, highlighting another section with my pen.Dad approached quietly. He settled into his favorite armchair and leaned forward to examine the papers I’d arranged.“Seventy-three percent of female werewolves are only permitted to learn throwing weapons,” I explained, pointing to the relevant chart. “Knives, small spears, slings—anything that allows them to fight from a distance.”“And hand-to-hand combat?” Dad asked, though his tone suggested he already knew the answer.“Completely prohibited in most packs,” I replied, flipping to another folder. “The official reasoning is that

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 112: Blackmail

    Kelsey’s POVI turned my face away sharply, irritation flaring hot in my chest. “I don’t know you,” I said coldly, taking a step backward. “Whatever you think you’re doing, I suggest you stop before you get yourself in trouble.”The man chuckled, a low sound that made my skin prickle with unease. His gaze remained fixed on my protruding belly, and that malicious smile widened until I could see too many teeth.“Come now, don’t be like that,” he drawled, moving closer despite my obvious retreat. “I’ve been looking for you for quite some time, actually. Didn’t expect to run into you here, of all places.”My pulse quickened, but I kept my voice level and threatening. “I don’t know who you think I am, but you’re mistaken. My mate Dominic is right over there, and if you continue harassing me, he won’t hesitate to deal with you.”I gestured toward the parking lot where Dominic’s silhouette was visible beside his car, hoping the threat would be enough to make this stranger back off.Instead, t

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 111: The Performance

    Kelsey’s POVMy heart sank like a stone dropping into dark water, but I forced my lips into what I hoped looked like a genuine smile. The muscles in my face felt stiff and unnatural as I arranged my features into an expression of joy.“That’s wonderful news, Dominic!” I exclaimed, my voice pitched higher than usual to mask the bitter disappointment in my stomach. “Debbie finally has a father who can love and protect her properly.”Dominic’s eyes were still bright with shock and joy, completely absorbed in processing this life-changing revelation. He didn’t notice the effort it took me to maintain my fake smile.“She’s been mine all along,” he said wonderingly.Dominic’s eyes still held that dazed, euphoric look of a man who’d just discovered his entire world had shifted. He stared at me as if seeing me for the first time, and I realized with growing panic that my position in his life had just become infinitely more precarious.I needed to act quickly before he started questioning every
