Penelope’s POV

I stood in the ceremonial grove wearing a dress that had belonged to my mother, the white fabric marked with symbols representing Moon Goddess blessings and Alpha strength combined.

Pack members from all territories filled the space between ancient trees, and I could feel their excitement and hope.

“You look beautiful,” Mom whispered as she adjusted my veil.

“I look terrified,” I corrected.

“That too.” She smiled. “But the good kind of terrified. The kind that means you’re about to do something that matters.”

Dominic waited at the altar looking devastating in traditional ceremonial garb—a deep blue tunic marked with silver thread. When our eyes met across the distance I felt that echo of our battle connection, the memory of being perfectly unified down to our souls.

“Ready?” Dad asked, offering his arm.

“As I’ll ever be.”

He walked me down the aisle between rows of people who’d become family through war and loss and choosing to build something better together.

    Julian’s POVI was reviewing architectural plans for the new academy when Penelope found me in my temporary office. The way her face looked made me understand immediately that this conversation would hurt.“Hey,” she said softly, closing the door behind her.“Hey yourself.” I set down the blueprints. “What’s on your mind?”She sat across from my desk, fidgeting with her hands. “I wanted to thank you. For everything you’ve done. Your loyalty, your sacrifice, the way you’ve loved me even when I couldn’t return it the way you wanted.”“Penelope, you don’t need to—”“Yes, I do.” She met my eyes directly. “You’ve given me so much, Julian. Your loyalty when everyone else doubted me. Your sacrifice during the war. Your love even when I couldn’t return it the way you wanted. You deserve honesty from me.”I leaned back in my chair, preparing myself for what was coming.“What we have,” she continued slowly, “it’s deeper than friendship but different from what I share with Dominic. It’s a bond of

    Penelope’s POVI watched Natalie playing with Alexander on the floor, building towers of blocks for him to knock down with delighted squeals. She’d been quiet since the battle, withdrawn in a way that worried me.“He’s getting so big,” I said, settling beside them on the carpet.“Growing like a weed,” Natalie agreed, but her voice was strained. “Soon he won’t need me anymore.”“Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.”Natalie went still, probably expecting to be dismissed now that the war was over. “Of course. I understand you won’t need a spy anymore.”“That’s not what I meant.” I picked up one of Alexander’s toys, a stuffed wolf that had been a gift from Debbie. “You love him, don’t you? Alexander.”Tears filled her eyes immediately. “I know I shouldn’t. I know he’s not really mine to love, but…”“But you’ve been taking care of him for months. You’ve watched him take his first steps, heard his first words. Of course you love him.”“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I tried to stay pr

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 410: Unwanted Child

    Penelope’s POVThe great hall was festive three days after our victory, but the sound of drinking and music felt wrong when so many chairs sat empty around the tables. I watched people laugh and toast while their friends’ bodies were still being prepared for burial, and something twisted in my stomach at how quickly grief turned into relief.“Mommy, can we go home now?” Debbie whispered beside me, her small voice barely audible over the noise.She hadn’t spoken more than necessary since the battle, and I kept catching her staring at her hands with an expression that broke my heart. Those tiny fingers had turned living people into ash, and no six-year-old should have to carry that weight.“Soon, baby,” I said, stroking her hair. “Just a little longer.”Dominic sat on my other side looking equally haunted. Dark circles ringed his eyes, and he hadn’t touched the food on his plate. When our eyes met I felt an echo of that perfect union we’d shared, a ghost of what it had felt like to be co

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 409: Collapse

    Dominic’s POVI held Penelope’s hand tighter as the Rogue King burned in moonlight that consumed his dark power like acid eating through rotten wood, and his screams became less coherent as his throat dissolved along with the rest of his corrupted form.His pale skin blackened and cracked while he tried desperately to summon enough power to save himself, but the purifying light had already won the battle at its source.There was nothing he could do except watch his carefully built empire crumble around him while silver-white fire destroyed everything he’d worked to create over centuries of evil.Every symbol carved into the walls was being erased. Every corrupted artifact was crumbling into dust. Every trace of his influence was being burned away until nothing remained but the memory of what he’d done.The satisfaction I felt watching him suffer was cold and absolute, mixed with Penelope’s own grim pleasure at seeing justice finally served to the monster who’d orchestrated so much pain

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 408: Breaking Chains

    Penelope’s POVMoonlight swept across the battlefield like cleansing fire, and the screams that followed would haunt my dreams for the rest of my life regardless of how long I lived after this moment.The purifying power burned through the compound in waves that I could feel as well as see, reaching every corner where corruption had taken root and ripping it out by force.Throughout the fortress, mutated wolves convulsed as the power burned through corrupted flesh that had been twisted by dark magic, but instead of dying they were transforming back into their original forms.I watched through eyes that could suddenly see deeper than normal sight as creatures with extra limbs and distorted features writhed on the stone floor while their bodies fought to remember what they’d been before the Rogue King had changed them.A wolf with elongated limbs and too many rows of teeth shrieked as the extra appendages dissolved like smoke while bones cracked and reformed themselves into natural shape
