Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 296: Poisoned Tongues
Kelsey’s POV“Oh honey, you look exhausted,” Mrs. Whitmore said as she poured my tea. “Is little Alexander keeping you up at night?”I settled into the floral armchair, making sure my face showed just the right amount of tired-but-happy motherhood. “He’s teething, so nobody’s getting much sleep. But Dominic’s been wonderful about taking the night shifts.”The other women made sympathetic noises. These coffee gatherings had become my favorite part of the week—a room full of influential wives who loved nothing more than a good gossip session.“Speaking of sleep,” Janet said, stirring sugar into her cup, “my daughter Emma came home from that new combat training program completely wiped out. They’re working those girls like they’re preparing for war.”“Because they are,” Martha replied sharply. “Did you see the news about fourteen-year-old girls learning sword fighting? Sword fighting! When I was fourteen, I was learning to bake bread and sew buttons.”I leaned forward slightly. “It’s so h
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 295: Blood and Obsession
The Rogue King’s POVThe stench of blood filled my underground chamber like rotting meat. Bodies of my fighters had been returned under cover of darkness—seventeen corpses. Another perfect operation turned into a massacre by that phantom bastard.“Tell me again,” I snarled at Larry, the only survivor from the eastern settlement raid. His left arm hung in a makeshift sling, blood seeping through dirty bandages. “Every detail about what you saw.”“He came from nowhere, sir.” Larry’s voice shook. “One second the civilians were running like we planned, the next second Riley and Davis were down with their throats cut.”“How did he move?”“Fast. Faster than anyone I’ve ever seen. Like he knew exactly where we’d be before we got there.”I slammed my fist into the concrete wall, feeling skin split against rough stone. Blood dripped down my knuckles, but the pain felt good. Real. Unlike the ghost that was making me look like a fool.“Three operations!” I roared at the assembled lieutenants who
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 294: Empty Promises
Dominic’s POVThe drive to Penelope’s house was like torture. Debbie sat in the back seat with her arms crossed, staring out the window with the kind of stubborn silence that meant I’d really screwed up this time.“We’re here, sweetheart,” I said as we pulled into the driveway.She didn’t respond. Just unbuckled her seatbelt, grabbed her school bag, and climbed out like I’d personally destroyed her favorite toy. Which, in a way, I had—her time with Alexander had become the brightest part of her week.“Debbie—”The car door slammed shut.I watched her march up the front steps, small shoulders rigid with hurt. Six years old and already learning that adults broke promises, that family meant disappointment wrapped in complicated explanations she was too young to understand.The front door opened before she could knock.“There’s my girl!” Penelope appeared, pulling Debbie into a fierce hug, but over our daughter’s red curls, her green eyes found mine with a look that could have melted steel
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 293: The Threat
Dominic’s POVThe sound of Debbie’s laughter drifted down the hallway as I climbed the stairs toward the nursery. She’d been spending more time here lately, eager for these afternoon visits with Alexander and Kelsey.Too eager, maybe.Kelsey’s voice, soft and understanding. Debbie’s voice, younger and more emotional than usual.“…and sometimes I wonder if she even remembers I exist,” Debbie was saying.I stopped outside the door. Through the crack, I could see Debbie sitting in the small chair beside Kelsey, carefully holding Alexander’s bottle while he fed.“That must feel awful, sweetie.” Kelsey’s voice held just the right amount of sympathy. “When parents get so caught up in their work that they forget about the people who need them most.”“It does feel awful. Like I’m not important enough for her to notice.”My hands clenched into fists. What the hell was Kelsey doing?“You are important, Debbie. You’re the most important thing in the world. Any real mother would know that.” Kelsey
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 292: The Poison Garden
Kelsey’s POVAlexander’s tiny fingers wrapped around mine as I lifted him from his crib. Six months old and already so perfect, so trusting.“There’s my beautiful boy,” I whispered, kissing his soft cheek. “Mama’s here.”Footsteps in the hallway announced Debbie’s arrival. She appeared in the doorway with her school bag and that bright smile that always made my heart twist with something between guilt and satisfaction.“Hi Kelsey! Hi Alexander!” She dropped her bag and bounced toward us. “How was his morning? Did he miss me?”“He always misses you, sweetheart. You’re his favorite person in the whole world.” I settled into the rocking chair, Alexander content in my arms. “How was school today?”“Okay, I guess.” She pulled over her little stool, the one we’d designated as hers during these precious visits. “We had art class, but I didn’t get to finish my painting because the teacher made us clean up early.”“That’s too bad. What were you painting?”“A family picture. But it’s hard becaus
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 291: Whispers in the Dark
Nick’s POVThe underground chamber felt different tonight. Colder somehow, despite the torches burning in their iron brackets. I descended the stone steps, trying to catch the voices drifting up from below.The Rogue King sat at his usual place at the head of the scarred wooden table, his lieutenants arranged around him like pieces on a chess board. Their faces turned toward me as I entered, expressions ranging from respectful to curious.“Nicholas,” the Rogue King said, gesturing to the empty chair at his right hand. “Perfect timing. We were just discussing next week’s operations.”I settled into my seat, pulling out the folded papers I’d taken from Dominic’s office that morning. Intelligence gathered during coffee and casual conversation, information shared because he trusted me completely.“Darkwood Pack is restructuring their eastern border patrols,” I began, spreading the documents across the table. “Everything you need to plan around their defenses.”A soldier leaned forward, stu
