Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 260: After Midnight
Dominic’s POVThe study walls closed in around me as I paced between bookshelves filled with pack history and pack law. Empty whiskey glasses sat on my desk alongside reports I couldn’t focus on reading. Three hours of trying to work had accomplished nothing except deepening my frustration.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Penelope in that cabin—rainwater dripping from her hair, silver scars marking her shoulder, the way she’d grabbed my wrist when I reached for her. The memory burned in my chest.A knock interrupted my brooding. Nick entered without waiting for permission, carrying security reports and wearing his usual confident smile.“Evening updates,” he announced, dropping folders on my desk. “Border patrols report normal activity, no suspicious movements detected.”I nodded absently, my mind still trapped in that moment when time had stopped between us.“You look troubled,” Nick observed, settling into the chair across from my desk. “Something specific bothering you tonight?”
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 259: The Traitor Within
Julian’s POVMidnight shadows cloaked the Rogue headquarters as I slipped through corridors I’d memorized over three years. Most fighters were asleep or on patrol, leaving the command wing eerily quiet except for my footsteps on stone floors.The Rogue King’s private office door stood unlocked—a sign of either supreme confidence or careless oversight. I entered carefully, closing the door behind me before activating a small flashlight to scan the cluttered workspace.Maps covered every surface, marked with attack routes and territorial boundaries, but I wasn’t here for general intelligence—I needed specific information about upcoming operations to warn Penelope before more lives were lost.The main desk held routine reports and supply manifests. Nothing immediately useful.I moved to filing cabinets along the east wall, testing each drawer until one opened to reveal folders arranged alphabetically.My heart stopped when I found a folder labeled “Iron Mountain Facility - Internal Intell
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 258: Fire and Rain
Penelope’s POVThe Rogue compound squatted in the valley like a infected sore, wooden structures and reinforced bunkers housing what Julian’s intelligence suggested was nearly a quarter of the Rogue King’s mutant army.Torches flickered along defensive walls that enclosed more mutated fighters than we’d ever faced in a single engagement. I crouched behind granite boulders with representatives from four territories, all arguing over how to breach their defenses“Frontal assault,” Alpha Mark declared, stabbing his finger at the rough map Ryan had sketched. “Hit them hard and fast before they can organize resistance.”“That’s suicide,” I said flatly. “Those walls are reinforced specifically against direct attack. We need infiltration from multiple points.”Mark’s laugh was mirthless. “Women’s tactics. All theory, no practical application.”My nostrils flared, but I kept my voice level. “My methods have proven effective in twelve previous engagements.”“Against scattered patrols and weak b
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 257: The Test
Penelope’s POVRocky outcroppings provided perfect cover as I crouched beside Dominic in the pre-dawn darkness. Fighters from five territories spread through the forest around us, all positioned exactly where Julian had indicated the Rogue King’s forces would attack.Three hours of waiting had passed without movement. Some territorial leaders muttered about false intelligence and wasted resources.The longer we waited, the more doubt crept into minds already suspicious of my source.“Are you certain about this information?” Alpha Harrison whispered from my left. “My fighters could be defending actual vulnerabilities instead of chasing ghosts.”“The intelligence came from a reliable source,” I replied carefully.Dominic shifted beside me, close enough that his warmth battled the night chill. “Define reliable,” he said quietly. “Because if we’re wrong about this, we’ve left real defensive positions exposed.”Before I could respond, Ryan’s voice came through our communication network from
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 256: Poison in the Well
Penelope’s POVSage purred against my chest as I sat in my living room, mindlessly running my fingers through her soft gray fur. The innocent cat had no understanding of human deception, no awareness that her rescuer had been playing an elaborate game of lies.Julian’s confession replayed in my mind. Every word, every pause, every flicker of emotion across his face. Months of manipulation. Months of intelligence gathering disguised as friendship.Twice now. Twice I’d trusted men who’d worn masks while pretending to care about me.First the Rogue King himself, posing as Edward to get close to my bloodline. Now Julian, recruited by that same monster to infiltrate my inner circle.My judgment felt fundamentally broken, like some essential part of me that should recognize deception had been permanently damaged.Sage’s purr vibrated against my ribs as she kneaded her paws into my shirt. At least animals were honest about their needs—food, shelter, affection. No hidden agendas or secret loya
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 255: Truth and Consequences
Julian’s POVPenelope looked up from her maps as I entered her office, that familiar warm smile lighting her face. The trust in her eyes made my chest ache, knowing what I was about to destroy.“Julian, perfect timing,” she said cheerfully. “I was just reviewing patrol routes for tonight. Your intelligence about Rogue movements has been invaluable.”Invaluable. The word twisted in my chest like a knife. How many deaths had my information prevented? How many more had my earlier betrayals caused?“Sit down,” she continued, gesturing to the chair across from her desk. “Tell me what you’ve learned.”I remained standing, my legs too unsteady to trust. “There’s something I need to tell you. Something unforgivable.”Her smile faded as she registered my tone. The pen in her hand stopped moving across the papers. “What’s wrong?”“Everything.” The word came out strangled. “Everything between us has been a lie.”Penelope set down her pen slowly, her green eyes never leaving my face. “I don’t unde
