Rhiannon's POV

Month Five

Soren grabbed the knife.

One second it was on the table beside me. The next, his impossibly fast baby hand had snatched it.

"No!" I lunged, prying it from his grip before he could hurt himself.

He wailed in protest, reaching for it again.

"Absolutely not." I moved the knife to a high shelf. "That's dangerous."

"Mama!" He shrieked, his new favorite word.

His grab reflex had become a problem. He grabbed everything—my hair, my clothes, anything within reach. And his grip was far too strong for a five-month-old.

Nyx taught him "gentle touching," and he learned quickly. But he also learned to be sneaky—patting softly, then immediately grabbing with both hands.

"Clever," I muttered, extracting my hair from his death grip. "Too clever."

But what amazed me most was watching him learn to sit.

He'd been trying for days—toppling over repeatedly, getting frustrated, trying again.

Then one morning, I set him down on his blanket, and he just—sat.

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 49: PACK REBELLION BEGINS

    Darius's POVWithin an hour of meeting my son, the gathering had grown from whispers to a roar.I stood on the packhouse steps, watching warriors flood the grounds. Forty. Fifty. More coming every minute. Some I recognized—loyal fighters who'd served under my father. Others were younger, angrier, their eyes burning with righteous fury.At their head stood Elder Thorne, his face twisted with contempt."This ends now!" he shouted, his voice carrying across the grounds. "This Alpha has betrayed everything we stand for!"Cheers erupted. Fists raised. Weapons glinted in the afternoon sun.At the tree line, I caught a flash of silver hair. Rhiannon, watching from the shadows. Our eyes met briefly across the chaos.She didn't look satisfied. Didn't look vindicated.She looked terrified.Then she vanished back into the forest, and I knew—she was already preparing to run.Cade appeared at my elbow. "Boss. This is bad. Really bad.""I know.""Half the pack is with them. Maybe more." He scanned

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 48: THE SUPERVISED MEETING

    Rhiannon's POVDarius was already waiting at the training grounds when we arrived, sitting on the grass.Marcus and Sera flanked us, hands ready on weapons. I'd chosen neutral territory deliberately—not his packhouse, not my camp. Somewhere I could leave at any moment.He looked like he'd barely slept, but he'd tried to make himself presentable. Clean clothes. Hair combed. Trying.When he saw Soren, his expression shifted—hope and pain mixing into something raw."Hello," he said quietly.Soren pressed closer to my leg. "Hi."I guided Soren to sit across from Darius, then positioned myself nearby. Close enough to intervene. Far enough to let them talk."One hour," I said. "If he wants to stop, we stop.""Understood." Darius couldn't look away from Soren.Awkward silence settled between them."You can ask him questions," I told Soren. "Anything you want."Soren picked at the grass, not looking up. Then, quietly: "Are you the man who made Mama cry?"Darius froze. "Yes.""Why?""Because I

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 47: MEETING HIS SON - FIRST TIME

    Darius's POVI shouldn't have been there.I knew it was wrong. Knew Rhiannon would be furious.But I couldn't stay away.The camp was quiet past midnight. I moved through shadows, using every stealth technique I'd learned. The tent wards shimmered but didn't activate—basic protections that recognized pack Alpha as non-threat.I slipped inside.A single lamp burned low. And there, on a bedroll—my son.Small. Dark curls against the pillow. Features that were half Rhiannon, half me. A wooden sword clutched in one hand even in sleep.I knelt beside him.His eyes opened.Gray-amber, ringed with gold. He sat up fast, the wooden sword coming up between us."Who are you?""I'm—" The words stuck. "I'm your father."He stared. "My daddy?""Yes.""You're not supposed to be here. Mama says strangers aren't allowed.""I'm not a stranger. I'm—""You are a stranger." He frowned. "I never met you before. That's what stranger means."Four years old and completely right."You're right," I said. "I shou

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 46: RHIANNON'S RESPONSE

    Rhiannon's POV"Mama, why is everyone shouting?"Soren sat on my bedroll, his wooden sword clutched in both hands. His gray-amber eyes were wide, frightened. Outside the tent, I could hear raised voices—pack members arguing, choosing sides, the chaos Darius had unleashed spreading like wildfire."It's just pack business, baby." I knelt beside him, checking the wards Sera had placed around the tent. Still holding. "Nothing for you to worry about.""But they're angry." He tilted his head, listening. "I can hear them saying my name. Saying I'm dangerous."My heart clenched. "You're not dangerous.""Then why do they want to take me away?" His voice was small, scared. "I heard them in the big room. They said I should be raised by the pack. That you can't teach me properly.""You heard that?" I sat back on my heels. "Soren, you were supposed to stay here—""I wanted to see." His lower lip trembled. "I wanted to know why everyone was scared of me. But then they started shouting about bloodli

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 45: CADE'S BRUTAL TRUTH

    Cade's POVThe council meeting had ended in chaos. Darius had tried to maintain order—shouting commands, invoking Alpha authority. But the pack was fracturing before his eyes.Elder Thorne had stormed out, taking twenty warriors with him. Pack mothers were screaming. Someone threw a chair.Darius had lasted maybe ten minutes before fleeing to his office.That was three hours ago.The scent of whiskey hit me before I even opened the door to Darius's office.I'd been looking for him for hours—the council meeting had ended in chaos, with the council dissolved and half the pack choosing sides. Darius had made his grand gesture, protecting his son.And then disappeared.I pushed the door open without knocking.Darius sat slumped in his chair, a bottle of amber liquid dangling from one hand. His shirt was half-unbuttoned, his hair disheveled. The mighty Alpha, reduced to this."There you are," I said, my voice flat. "Half the pack is looking for you."He didn't look up. "Tell them I'm busy.

  • Alpha's Regret: The Forsaken Luna   CHAPTER 44: PACK REACTION - THE COUNCIL CONVENES

    Rhiannon's POVThe news spread like wildfire through dry grass.By noon, every wolf in Crescent Moon knew. The Phantom was Rhiannon Ashwood—the wolfless omega they'd mocked five years ago. And she had a son. The Alpha's son. A hybrid child with Chimera blood.I felt the shift in the air before I saw it. The way pack members stopped talking when I passed. The way mothers pulled their children closer. The way warriors' hands drifted toward weapons.Fear and hostility, thick enough to choke on."Boss." Marcus appeared at my elbow, his scarred face grim. "The council's calling an emergency session. They're demanding you attend.""When?""Now."I looked toward my tent where Soren was playing with wooden soldiers, blissfully unaware. Sera stood guard, violet magic already sparking around her fingers."They can't have him," I said quietly."I know. That's why we're ready to fight our way out if needed." Marcus's hand rested on his blade. "Say the word."Before I could respond, Cade appeared,
