Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 102: Unexpected Alliance
Penelope’s POVThe chamber erupted in competing voices. Conservative male representatives argued loudly about maintaining traditional roles, while a smaller group of younger Alphas and the few female council members voiced their support for change.“This is madness!” Peter yelled over the noise. “We’ve survived for centuries with our current system!”“Have we?” I challenged. “Or have we just been lucky until now?”“Women’s emotions make them unreliable in crisis situations,” Alpha Graham declared.“Emotions?” I felt my temper finally slip its leash. “You want to talk about emotions? You’re the ones getting hysterical about change!”“We are not hysterical!”“No? Then why are you screaming?”“Because you’re proposing to destroy everything we’ve built!”“I’m proposing to improve it!”“How?”“By treating female wolves like wolves instead of property!”The noise level continued rising as more representatives joined the argument. Chairman Morris banged his gavel repeatedly, the sharp cracks
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 101: Speaking Truth
Penelope’s POVDominic continued coughing, each sound harsh and rough. His eyes had turned red from the choking, and water still dripped from his chin onto his expensive suit. I watched him struggle, and despite everything between us, I found his discomfort genuinely amusing.“Need a napkin?” I asked sweetly, making no move to actually help him.“I’m fine,” he wheezed, dabbing at his nose with his pocket square.“Oh, you’re definitely fine,” someone from the third row called out. “Just ask your girlfriend there.”“She’s not my girlfriend,” Dominic said hoarsely.“He’s not anything to me,” I added firmly.“Ouch,” the same voice replied. “That’s cold, lady.”“She’s always been cold,” Dominic muttered, just loud enough for me to hear.I whipped around to face him. “Excuse me?”“You heard me.”“Cold? I’m cold?” My voice rose slightly before I caught myself and lowered it again. “That’s rich, coming from you.”“At least I never pretended to be something I wasn’t.”“What’s that supposed to m
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 100: Crossed Lines
Penelope’s POVI sat down as far from Dominic as the narrow seat would allow, angling my body toward the aisle. The image of his obvious arousal burned in my mind, and I couldn’t quite shake the mixture of disgust and something else I didn’t want to name.“Control yourself,” I whispered, keeping my voice low enough that only he could hear. My eyes flicked down to his lap again despite my best efforts. “This is disgusting.”Dominic’s jaw clenched. He kept his gaze fixed straight ahead at the Chairman’s podium, but I could see a vein pulsing at his temple.“You’re a pervert,” I continued, biting my lip to keep from raising my voice. “In the middle of a council meeting, really?”“This isn’t something I can control,” he replied through gritted teeth, his voice barely audible. The frustration in his tone was obvious, like he was fighting some internal battle. “Your pheromones are like a bomb going off in my head.”I scoffed and turned away from him. “How convenient.”“Convenient?” His voice
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 99: Dangerous Reactions
Dominic’s POVI couldn’t take my eyes off her.Penelope stood under the bright council chamber lights, her long hair falling over her shoulders like liquid fire. The business suit hugged her figure perfectly, and when she spoke, her voice commanded the entire room’s attention.My arms were crossed over my chest as I sat, and I’d been trying to focus on the Chairman’s opening remarks, but the moment Penelope had begunn speaking, everything else disappeared.She was magnificent.Heat bloomed in my chest, spreading down through my body like wildfire. My wolf paced restlessly in my mind, whimpering and clawing at my control. The scent of her filled my nostrils even from across the large chamber—richer now, more complex than I remembered.My crotch began to tighten.What the hell? I shifted uncomfortably, trying to will away the growing hardness between my legs. This had never happened before, not like this. Not so suddenly and overwhelming.I shifted uncomfortably, trying to will away what
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 98: Gathering Evidence
Penelope’s POVDad caught up with me as I reached my car, his face still dark with anger about the medical supplies.“You know what I think you should do?” he said. “Walk into that council chamber and demand answers. Confront those corrupt members directly. Make them admit what they’ve done.”I paused with my hand on the car door, considering his suggestion. The idea was tempting—watching those smug council members squirm under direct questioning, but my instincts warned against such a direct approach.“That would be too rash,” I said, shaking my head. “If we go in making accusations without solid proof, we’ll just alert them to cover their tracks. They’ll destroy records and move money around before we can catch them.”“So we just let them steal from us?”“No,” I replied firmly. “We secretly gather concrete evidence first. We trace every dollar from allocation to distribution. We document the discrepancies, identify the players, build a case they can’t deny. Then we expose them all at
Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate Chapter 97: Unwanted Exposure
Penelope’s POVHot water ran down my back as I rinsed away the sweat from another grueling training session. My muscles ached from the intense workout, but the enhanced healing from my awakened bloodline meant I recovered faster than before.My reflection in the mirror showed the subtle changes that had occurred since the ritual—my skin had a faint luminous quality, and my eyes seemed brighter.I stepped out of the shower, wrapped myself in a thick towel, and moving to my walk-in closet, I selected a business suit.The jacket fit perfectly across my shoulders, and the skirt fell to just the right length to project authority without being overly conservative. I was buttoning the blazer when rapid footsteps thundered down the hallway.“Mommy! Mommy!” Debbie burst through my bedroom door, her red curls bouncing wildly. “You have to see this right now!”“Sweetheart, I need to organize my papers for the meeting—”“No, this is way more important!” She grabbed my hand and tugged hard. “Come o
