Chapter 16

KIERAN

"Fine," I agreed reluctantly. "We'll take the morning flight."

Miranda's smile became more genuine, though I caught a calculating glint in her eyes. "Actually, I have a better idea. Why don't we share a room tonight? Give the media something to talk about tomorrow morning. After your little stunt in Millbrook, we need to cement our relationship in the public eye."

Every instinct I possessed rebelled against the suggestion, that she had made and I knew that she knew that I knew what she was doing. Besides the mere thought of spending the night with Miranda, of letting the world believe we were lovers when my heart belonged entirely to another woman, felt like a betrayal of everything I held sacred. I had been holding onto the past all this while and now that Seraphina was finally out of Marcus's grasp, she wanted me to push her away, give Seraphina the message that I was spoken for, which was in her right as my fiancee.

But she was right about the politics of it, desp

  • Alpha's Regret: The Luna He Betrayed   Chapter 31

    Chapter 31KIERANThe problem was that I couldn't defend myself without lying. Yes, Seraphina had come to thank me. But it was also true that seeing her again had stirred up feelings I'd been trying to bury for five years. It was true that my wolf, despite its anger and determination to move on, had still responded to her presence with an intensity that terrified me.And Miranda, perceptive as she was, had probably seen all of that in the brief moment our eyes had met.I thought about her father's threats, about the political implications of this engagement falling apart. But more than that, I thought about Miranda herself—the brilliant, capable woman who'd spent months preparing to be my Luna, who'd been nothing but supportive and understanding despite knowing she was second choice.She deserved better than this. Better than a mate who couldn't let go of the past, better than a king who was still nursing a five-year-old broken heart.*Then give her better,* my wolf said firmly. *We p

  • Alpha's Regret: The Luna He Betrayed   Chapter 30

    Chapter 30KIERAN"Miranda, wait—" I stood up, but she was already moving toward the door."Thank you for your time, Your Majesty," she said formally, as if we were strangers conducting business rather than two people who were supposed to be getting married in a matter of weeks. "I'm sure my father can answer any remaining questions you might have."She was gone before I could stop her, the door closing behind her with a soft click that felt like a death knell.*Go after her,* my wolf urged. *Forget the business meeting. Go after her right now and fix this.*But Mr. Ashworth was still sitting at the conference table, watching me with an expression I couldn't quite read. Going after his daughter in the middle of a business meeting would be unprofessional and would only make the situation more obvious than it already was."My apologies," Mr. Ashworth said, though he didn't sound particularly apologetic. "Miranda has been under a great deal of stress lately. The wedding preparations, the

    Chapter 29KIERANSeraphina's eyes widened as she realized what was happening. "Kieran, I—""Please," I said quietly, meeting her gaze directly for the first time since she'd arrived. "Just go. This is already complicated enough."She nodded slowly, wiping at her eyes as she moved toward the door. But before she could leave, Miranda and her father appeared in the doorway, and I watched in slow motion as Miranda's gaze moved from me to Seraphina and back again."Mr. Ashworth," I said, forcing my voice to remain steady and professional. "Thank you for coming. And Miranda, I... I wasn't expecting you.""Clearly," Miranda said, her voice perfectly composed even though I could see the pain flashing in her eyes. "Lady Blackwood. How lovely to see you looking so recovered."The two women stared at each other, and the tension in the room became almost suffocating. Seraphina looked like she wanted to say something, but one glance at Miranda's cold expression seemed to change her mind."I was j

  • Alpha's Regret: The Luna He Betrayed   Chapter 28

    Chapter 28KIERANI didn't have a response to that, because my wolf was probably right.I took a deep breath and pushed open the door to my office, steeling myself for whatever this conversation was going to bring.Seraphina was standing by the window, her back to me as she looked out over the city. She'd changed since I'd last seen her unconscious in that bedroom in Millbrook—she was wearing dark jeans and a soft sweater that made her look younger somehow, more like the girl I'd known before everything went wrong. Her honey-colored hair was pulled back in a simple ponytail, and I could see the tension in her shoulders even from across the room."Seraphina," I said, keeping my voice neutral and professional. I moved to stand behind my desk, using it as a barrier between us. Physical distance felt important right now, a reminder that things had changed, that we weren't what we used to be.She turned to face me, and the sight of her silver-blue eyes nearly knocked the breath from my lun

  • Alpha's Regret: The Luna He Betrayed   Chapter 27

    Chapter 27KIERANI woke up the next morning with my wolf's anger still simmering beneath my skin, a constant reminder of the promises I'd made to myself the night before. Today was supposed to be about making things right with Miranda, about proving to her—and to myself—that my commitment to our future was unshakeable.I checked my phone before I even got out of bed, hoping to see a response to the multiple messages I'd sent her last night. Nothing. The delivered receipts mocked me from the screen, each one a small rejection that made my chest tighten with worry.*She's ignoring us,* my wolf said, its voice still rough with the previous night's fury. *Can you blame her? After the way we let her walk away yesterday?*"No," I admitted, sitting up and running a hand through my hair. "I can't blame her at all."I tried calling again while I made coffee, listening to the phone ring once, twice, three times before going to voicemail. Her voice on the recorded message was professional and d

  • Alpha's Regret: The Luna He Betrayed   Chapter 26

    Chapter 26KIERAN*I'm coming to see you tomorrow. We need to talk face to face, and I need you to know that my commitment to you hasn't wavered. You're the woman I chose to build a future with, and I don't make that kind of choice lightly. Whatever you're thinking, whatever you're feeling about today—give me a chance to make it right. Please.*I hit send before I could second-guess the message, then immediately followed up with another.*I'm not running after Seraphina. I'm here, and I want to be here with you. That's the truth, and I need you to believe it.*The messages showed as delivered but not read. Either she was asleep, or she was deliberately avoiding me. Either way, there was nothing more I could do tonight except keep my promise to myself—and to my wolf—that tomorrow would be different.Tomorrow, I would prove to Miranda that she was my choice. Tomorrow, I would show everyone that Seraphina's return meant nothing to me, that I'd moved on and built a life without her. Tomor
