Penelope’s POV

A blur of silver-gray fur exploded from the right.

Dominic had come, now fully transformed into his massive wolf form, and he collided with the mutant in mid-air. His powerful jaws clamped around the creature’s throat before they both crashed to the ground.

I gasped, finally able to breathe as the immediate danger redirected. The white moss Dominic had collected lay scattered across the forest floor where he’d dropped it to shift.

Keeping one hand on the doe’s wound, I stretched to grab the closest clump of moss, pressing it against the torn tissue. The plant released its medicinal compounds instantly, stems darkening as they absorbed blood and began to clot it.

Behind me, snarls and growls filled the air as Dominic battled the mutant. Bones crunched. Flesh tore. I forced myself to focus on the doe.

“Almost there,” I encouraged her, feeling another contraction begin. “Push!”

With a slick, wet sound, the fawn’s body slid free. It landed on the leaves, covered in birth flu

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 287: Broken Foundations

    Penelope’s POVIn the Rainbow Claw training facility, young wolves practiced basic combat drills. Debbie sat cross-legged on a mat near the observation area, watching older students work through sword techniques while I finished reviewing progress reports I’d offered to help their teacher with.“Mommy, when can I start sword training?” she asked, her green eyes bright with interest.“When you’re eight,” I replied automatically, then looked up from my paperwork. “Why the sudden interest in weapons?”“So I can come to the battles with you.” Footsteps approached across the training floor. Dominic appeared in the doorway, his large frame filling the entrance as he scanned the room until he spotted us.“Daddy!” Debbie scrambled to her feet and ran toward him, throwing herself against his legs in an enthusiastic hug.“Hello, sweetheart.” He lifted her easily, settling her against his hip with the natural ease that had developed between them over recent months. “How’s training going?”“Good!

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 286: Two Faces of War

    Dominic’s POVThe morning revealed the full scope of yesterday’s battle. Penelope and I walked through the settlement, perusing damage and casualties while our people cleared debris from the streets.“Seventeen structures with significant damage,” she noted, checking items off her list. “But only two civilian injuries, both minor. Seven captured.”“The masked warrior’s intervention made all the difference,” I admitted. “Without Julian creating chaos, we would have taken heavy losses.”“Agreed.” She paused to examine blast damage on a storefront wall. “He is…impressive.”“And concerning.”She looked up sharply. “Concerning how?”“Extreme risk-taking behavior often indicates some sort of instability. Someone willing to throw himself into that level of danger might have compromised judgment.” I gestured toward the scattered debris. “We need to monitor Julian carefully for signs of recklessness.”“He’s been nothing but helpful—”“He’s been motivated by feelings for you that aren’t reciproc

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 285: Behind Closed Doors

    Penelope’s POVThe celebration grew quieter as people began filtering out of the camp. Empty bottles clinked together as Ryan and Tom cleaned up, their movements slow and unsteady from the alcohol.“We should head back too,” Nora said, gathering her jacket from a chair. “Early morning tomorrow.”“You go ahead,” I replied, watching Dominic near the far wall where he’d been nursing the same beer for the past hour. “I need to discuss tomorrow’s cleanup operations with Alpha Dominic.”Nora raised an eyebrow but didn’t comment on my transparent excuse. “Don’t stay too late. You’ve had more to drink than usual.”One by one, the remaining fighters said their goodnights and disappeared into the darkness outside. Julian lingered near the door, but I didn’t look at him.“Julian,” I called out before he could leave. “Thank you again. What you did today…it was amazing.”He nodded, his face showing emotions I couldn’t quite read. “Just doing what needed to be done.”“It was more than that, and you

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 284: The Mask Falls

    Julian’s POVEmpty bottles covered every available surface of the camp while fighters shared stories of the battle. Someone had found an old guitar, and now half the room belted out victory songs.I nursed my beer near the corner, watching Penelope move through the crowd like sunlight itself. She tossed her red hair back as she laughed—really laughed—for the first time I could remember. The sound made my chest ache with something deeper than the wounds I’d collected during the fighting.“Did you see that masked guy?” Ryan shouted over the music. “Came out of nowhere like some kind of ghost!”“Took down twelve Rogues single-handed,” added Nora, her face flushed from drinking. “Never seen anything like it.”“Who was he?” asked Tom from the eastern patrol. “Had to be one of our guys, right? Nobody else could have known the terrain that well.”Penelope raised her voice above the chatter. “Whoever he was, he saved us today. Without his intervention, we would have been overwhelmed.”She cli

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 283: The Masked Warrior

    Julian’s POVDawn mist clung to the valley floor as Rogue forces prepared for the assault on Riverside Settlement. Forty-three fighters spread through the treeline, their faces painted with ritual scars that marked them as followers of the Rogue King’s inner circle.I wore the same black combat gear as the others, but underneath lay silver mesh armor and weapons that would serve very different purposes when the battle began.“Remember,” called the Rogue King, “terror is the primary objective. We want survivors to spread stories about Rogue strength and territorial weakness.”Nods and grunts of agreement from the assembled fighters. I made the same sounds while my enhanced hearing tracked the defensive positions I’d helped establish weeks ago. Penelope’s people were ready, hidden in carefully prepared ambush sites that would turn this raid into a massacre.If everything went according to plan.“Julian, you take the eastern approach with squad three,” the Rogue King ordered. “Civilian ev

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 282: Double Lives

    Julian’s POVThe underground chamber stank of wet stone and old blood. I climbed down the narrow stairs, my enhanced hearing catching conversations before I even reached the bottom.The Rogue King’s voice boomed above the others—same arrogant tone, same casual dismissal of human life.Three months ago, this place had filled me with righteous anger about my father’s death. Now I saw it clearly: a gathering of killers and madmen following a monster who’d turned grief into a weapon against me.“Julian!” The Rogue King’s scarred face split into what passed for a smile. “Our most valuable asset arrives.”I slipped into the circle of his lieutenants, nodding respectfully while my mind cataloged every face, every weapon, every possible escape route. The enhanced abilities made reading their micro-expressions almost laughably easy.“The Iron Mountain raids went better than expected,” he continued. “Your intelligence about their patrol schedules was perfect. We hit them exactly when they were w
