(Penelope)

Dominic’s hand shot out to grab my arm. I twisted away decisively, making him stumble back.

“Don’t touch me,” I said coldly.

His nostrils flared. “You dare—”

“Yes, I dare.” I straightened my spine. “I’m not your submissive little mate anymore.”

The crowd around us shifted, wolves moving back to create space for the inevitable confrontation. I saw pack members watching intently, witnessing every moment.

“This act won’t work,” Dominic spat. “Nathan Moon’s daughter? Do you really expect anyone to believe that?”

“Believe what you want.” I adjusted my midnight blue ceremonial cloak . “The blood tests speak for themselves.”

A photographer approached, camera raised. “Princess Moon! Would you join the council members for the binding ritual?”

“Of course.” I moved toward the waiting group, leaving Dominic seething behind me.

The camera flashed as I posed with various pack members. I made sure to smile extra brightly, knowing it would infuriate him further.

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 322: Poor Judgment

    Dominic’s POVThe border patrol report landed on my desk at the worst possible time. My head was pounding from another sleepless night thinking about Julian’s fighting skills, about Penelope’s eyes when she’d banned me from her house, about the way Debbie had flinched when I’d tried to hug her goodbye.“Strange movement spotted along the eastern border,” my Beta read from his notes. “Could be hunters, could be scouts. Hard to tell what they’re doing out there.”Hunters. Or scouts. Or something worse preparing to threaten my territory while I was distracted by personal disasters.“How strange?” I asked, forcing myself to focus.“Moving together like they’re looking for something. Not random wandering.” He flipped a page. “Garcia thinks we should send people to watch them first, figure out what—”“No.” The word came out harder than I’d intended. “We go out there immediately. Send three teams to the eastern border.”He blinked. “Sir? Without finding out more first?”“I said immediately.”

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 321: Invisible String

    Nick’s POV“Sir, we need your decision on the border patrol schedules.”Kane stood at attention in Dominic’s office, but his eyes were on me instead of the Alpha slumped behind the desk. Third time this week pack members had bypassed Dominic entirely.“What do you think, Nick?” Dominic asked without looking up from the window. He’d been staring outside for twenty minutes, lost in whatever mess he’d made of his personal life.“Increase the eastern rotation by two hours,” I said smoothly. “Decrease the western posts by one. Intelligence suggests more activity to the east.”“Done.” Kane nodded at me, not Dominic. “Anything else?”“That’ll be all.”Kane left, and I returned to my paperwork. Running Darkwood Pack had become easier than I’d expected. Members trusted my steady decisions over Dominic’s emotional disasters. They brought me problems, asked for my guidance, looked to me for leadership.Exactly as the Rogue King had planned.His words from our last meeting echoed in my mind: “Crea

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 320: Hunting Myself

    Julian’s POVThe warehouse looked different in daylight. Abandoned. Forgotten. Like something from a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.I parked behind the building and walked through the side entrance, my footsteps hollow on concrete. Two months since my last summons. Two months of wondering if my cover was blown, if the Rogue King suspected what I really was.The underground chamber was darker than I remembered. Torches flickered in their brackets. The Rogue King sat at his usual spot—the head of a scarred wooden table surrounded by empty chairs.He looked older. Worn down. The string of defeats had carved new lines around his eyes, turned his hair more gray than black.“Julian.” He gestured to the chair at his right hand. “Sit. We have much to discuss.”I took my place, noting how his hands shook slightly as he poured wine into two cups. The confident warlord I’d first met was cracking under pressure.“You look injured,” he observed, his pale eyes scanning my face. “What happened?”

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 319: Banned

    Penelope’s POV“Both of you are banned.”The words came out hard and final as I stood in my father’s destroyed living room. Glass crunched under my feet. Books lay scattered across the floor. The coffee table was nothing but splinters.“Penelope—” Julian started.“No.” I held up my hand, cutting him off. “I don’t want to hear explanations or excuses from either of you.”Dominic wiped blood from his split lip. “We can work this out—”“Work what out? The fact that you both acted like animals in front of my daughter?” My voice rose despite my efforts to stay calm. “Look at this room! Look at what you’ve done!”Debbie pressed closer against my side, her small body still shaking from what she’d witnessed.“Until you can both behave like adults, you’re not welcome at family gatherings.” I looked directly at Julian first, then Dominic. “Individual visits with Debbie only. And never when the other one is here.”“That’s not fair,” Julian protested. “Dominic started—”“I don’t care who started i

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 318: The Brawl

    Dominic’s POVWe made it exactly five minutes after everyone gathered in the living room.“You think you can just move in and take over my family?” The words exploded out of me as I set Alexander’s carrier down hard.Julian stood slowly from his spot on the couch. “I didn’t take anything. You threw it away.”The calm in his voice made my rage spike higher. “Every time I come here, you’re already here. In my daughter’s homework, with Penelope, in her parents’ good graces.”“Dominic—” Nathan started.“No!” I whirled toward him. “Don’t defend him. He’s been replacing me.”“Nobody’s replacing anyone,” Julian said quietly.“Aren’t you?” I stepped closer, hands clenched. “Homework help, bedtime stories, family lunches. You’ve made yourself indispensable to my daughter while I get scheduled visits twice a week.”“That’s your choice,” Julian replied, but I caught the flash of anger in his dark eyes. “You chose this.”“And you swooped in to pick up the pieces.”“I didn’t swoop anywhere. I was i

  • Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate   Chapter 317: Possessive

    Dominic’s POVI couldn’t take it anymore. Watching Julian get another warm smile from Daphne while I received polite tolerance. Seeing him belong in spaces I’d never quite fit into. The word “choose” hammered in my skull like a migraine.When Penelope went upstairs to get her jacket, I followed.Her bedroom door was halfway open. I could see her moving around inside, gathering things. The domestic scene should have felt familiar. Instead it felt like watching someone else’s life.I pushed the door open and stepped inside.“Dominic?” She turned, surprised. “Is everything okay?”“No.” I closed the door behind me, heard the soft click of the latch. “Nothing’s okay.”“What are you—”“I’m tired of watching him take my place.” The words came out rough, desperate. “Tired of watching you build the life I wanted with someone else.”Her green eyes widened. “Dominic, we can’t—”“Can’t what?” I moved closer, backing her toward the door. “Can’t acknowledge what’s happening here? Can’t admit that yo
