Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 92: An Inexplicable Gesture
Dominic’s POVI stood in the doorway of what used to be my private bedroom, pressing my knuckles against my temple where a headache was building. The sight of Kelsey’s clothes in my room, her perfume bottles already lined up on my dresser, had made my stomach turn.What had I been thinking? When Penelope told me she was marrying Edward, when she looked me in the eyes and said she loved him now, I’d felt something break inside me. In my pain and anger, I’d agreed to let Kelsey move in, thinking it didn’t matter anymore.Now her presence felt like a violation of everything that had once been sacred to me.I turned away and walked into the living room, trying to escape the cloying scent of her perfume that seemed to follow me everywhere now.“Dominic?” My mother looked up from the sofa where she was watching the evening news. “What were you two doing in there? It sounded like you were having quite the argument.”I composed my features carefully, making sure nothing showed on my face. “Not

Kelsey’s povDominic stopped moving entirely, his whole body going rigid as he held the nurse’s cap between us. He examined it carefully before shifting his gaze to me. The room felt smaller suddenly.My face went hot, then cold, then hot again. “It’s just an ordinary hat,” I said quickly, reaching out to snatch it back from his grasp. “Nothing special about it.”Dominic stepped back, keeping the cap out of my reach. He bit down so hard on his molars that I heard the faint clicking sound his teeth made. His lips disappeared into a thin slash across his face, and a vein I’d never noticed before pulsed at his temple.“Why is this in your luggage, Kelsey?”“I—I don’t know,” I stammered, my mind racing for an explanation. “Maybe it got mixed up with my laundry somehow. These things happen.”“Do they?” His voice was quiet now, the kind of calm that preceded storms. “Because this looks exactly like the uniforms the nurses wear at the hospital where Penelope and Debbie were staying.”“Dominic

Kelsey’s POV“Bring everything inside,” I instructed the young maid who stood nervously in the hallway with my suitcases.“Yes, ma’am,” she replied quickly.I stood in the doorway of Dominic’s bedroom, taking in every detail of the space I’d dreamed about for years. This room had once belonged to Penelope. I ran my fingers along the vanity table, imagining Penelope doing the same thing years ago.She’d slept in this bed, used this bathroom, looked out these windows, but those days were over forever. Now this was my domain.Finally, I was where I belonged.Not as a guest, not as Dominic’s occasional companion, but as the future Luna of this pack. The woman who would bear his children and stand beside him as his equal.Dominic’s parents had been surprisingly supportive once they accepted the reality of my pregnancy. His mother, Luna Sophia, had immediately arranged for the best pack doctors to monitor my condition. His father had insisted I move into the main house where I could be prope
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 89: Success
Penelope’s POVI looked down at our intertwined fingers as Edward held my hand on the sofa. His skin felt warm against mine, but something about his touch didn’t quite feel right. Maybe it was just nerves about the ritual.“I mean it, Penelope,” Edward said earnestly. “If I could take the pain of awakening for you, I would do it in a heartbeat.”“That’s very sweet of you,” I replied softly. “But this is something I have to do myself.”Edward’s thumb stroked across my knuckles in small circles. “I just hate the thought of you suffering. You’ve been through so much already.”I appreciated his concern, but part of me wondered if any man could truly understand what this meant. The awakening wasn’t just about gaining power—it was about connecting with generations of Moon Goddess heritage, about becoming who I was always meant to be.“I think I need some time alone tonight,” I said gently. “To prepare mentally for what’s coming.”Edward’s face fell slightly, but he nodded. “Of course. But ju
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 88: Maintaining The Disguise
Edward’s POVI stood under the hot spray of Penelope’s guest bathroom shower, letting the hot water wash away the sweat and grime from hours of labor at the lake. The work had been satisfying in more ways than one—not only had I helped clean the sacred site, but I’d also ensured no traces of my previous sabotage remained.Stepping out of the shower, I grabbed a towel and wiped the steam from the bathroom mirror. My reflection stared back—handsome, trustworthy Edward with his amber eyes and charming smile, hiding what lay behind his skin.From my coat pocket, I retrieved a small glass jar filled with silvery ointment. The label read “Moonveil Ointment” in elegant script, though most wolves had never heard of such a thing. It was a Rogue creation, designed specifically to mask supernatural scents.I twisted the lid open forcefully, my jaw clenching as I remembered Debbie’s innocent but devastating observation. “Uncle Edward smells bad.” The child’s enhanced senses were becoming a serious
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 87: Bad Smell
Penelope’s POVI stood beside Dad, staring at the Moonlight Lake, watching the final cleanup crews pack their equipment. The water looked crystal clear now, all traces of contamination removed. Fresh mountain spring water had been channeled in to refill the sacred space completely.“Hard to believe it’s finally done,” Dad said, adjusting his arm sling carefully. “Weeks of work, and now we can proceed with the ritual.”I nodded, but my attention was divided. My phone had a message notification I’d been ignoring for the past hour. I already knew who it was from without looking.Edward approached from the direction of the equipment staging area, his work clothes dusty from supervising the final soil removal. Behind him, soldiers from his pack were loading the last of the excavation machinery onto transport trucks.“The site is completely clean,” Edward announced, wiping sweat from his forehead. “All contaminated soil has been removed and properly disposed of. The water samples show zero t

Penelope’s POVI held Debbie close as the medical team surrounded us in the makeshift triage area they’d set up on the undamaged section of lawn.“Can you tell us exactly what you felt about that man?” Dr. Morris asked Debbie gently. He was our pack’s head physician, a kind older wolf with silver hair and a calming presence.Debbie looked up at him seriously, her green eyes wide but unafraid. “His insides were all wobbly and wrong,” she said matter-of-factly. “Like when you shake a jar of water really hard and it sloshes around, but inside his chest, it was angry and scary.”“Wobbly?” Dr. Morris repeated, scribbling notes on his clipboard.“The bad man had broken feelings inside him,” Debbie continued, fidgeting in my lap. “Like something was making him hurt himself. It smelled sharp and mean, like the medicine that made me sick at the hospital.”Dr. Morris exchanged a meaningful look with his assistant, then turned to me. “I’d like to run some tests on Debbie, just to make sure she wa
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 85: The Warzone
Penelope’s POVEveryone within earshot turned to stare at Debbie like she’d completely lost her mind. The family groups all laughed nervously as parents exchanged those knowing looks reserved for other people’s dramatic children.“Kids and their wild imaginations,” Mrs. Henderson said with an indulgent smile, shaking her head while keeping one eye on her twin boys. “Just yesterday my Tommy was convinced he saw a dragon hiding in our garden shed.”“Debbie’s always been quite the little actress,” Mom agreed, though I caught the underlying note of concern in her voice. “Remember when she was three and absolutely insisted the vacuum cleaner was going to eat her? She wouldn’t go near it for months.”But I wasn’t laughing. The cold dread pooling in my stomach told me with absolute certainty that my daughter wasn’t playing some imaginative game. Every instinct inherited from generations of Moon bloodline women screamed that catastrophic danger was seconds away.The man in the gray coat stood
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 84: Explode!
Penelope’s POVDad stared at me with deep concern. “What exactly do you mean when you say Edward seems ‘strange’? He’s always appeared perfectly normal to me.”I glanced around nervously to ensure our conversation remained private. The Hendersons were still dealing with their twin boys who had discovered a particularly appealing mud puddle behind the playground equipment, and the elderly Cranes seemed absorbed in discussion about the upcoming harvest festival with their neighbors.“Edward keeps bringing up my Moon Goddess bloodline obsessively,” I said quietly, leaning closer to Dad so I wouldn’t be overheard. “Every single conversation, no matter how it starts, somehow circles back to awakening my power, accessing my heritage, completing the awakening ritual. It’s like he can’t think about anything else.”“That’s perfectly understandable,” Dad replied, waving his hand dismissively. “He’s marrying into one of the oldest and most powerful pack bloodlines in the territory. Naturally he’d
