Lexi’s POV

The drive back was quiet, yet the silence didn’t sit between us like it used to. It wasn’t heavy or awkward, just... peaceful.

He requested to drive and though I was concerned I let him do it.

Manny’s hand rested loosely on the steering wheel, his gaze focused ahead, his expression soft.

There was something different about him now, something steady, like the storm inside him had finally begun to calm.

But even in that peace, my chest felt unsettled. My thoughts kept drifting, tugging at something I couldn’t quite name.

Maybe it was the memory of Serena. Maybe it was guilt that she sacrificed herself for us and never got to see what we’d become. Or maybe it was something far more complicated, the feeling that everything was about to change again.

“Manny,” I said finally, my voice low but firm.

He glanced at me briefly. “Hmm?”

“Can we stop by Serena’s grave before heading home?”

He didn’t hesitate. “Of course.”

I gave a small nod. I hadn’t visited it since. I’d been so cau

  • Alpha’s Regret: The Return Of The Betrayed Luna    Chapter 178

    Manny’s POVI had barely been sleeping now. Every time I closed my eyes, faces of those I’d failed came crawling out of the dark. My father’s grave had been calling me all week, quietly, insistently. I finally gave in. Maybe I needed to hear the silence there to make sense of everything.I dressed slowly, slipping on my jacket and reaching for the cane propped against the wall. The limp was worse in the mornings, a constant reminder of how much had been lost, and how much still ached to heal.When I turned, Lexi was by the doorway, her hair still damp from her shower, she had a tray in her hand and I knew it was for me, but I wasn't exactly hungry now. “You’re heading out?” she asked.I nodded, my voice low. “Yes, need to see my father.”Her gaze flickered with understanding. “Should I come with you?”For a moment, I wanted to tell her no. I didn’t want her seeing me that way, broken and bleeding on the inside, talking to a grave as if it could talk back. But instead, I surprised mys

  • Alpha’s Regret: The Return Of The Betrayed Luna    Chapter 177

    Lexi’s POVMorning rose over the packhouse slowly, pale and quiet, the kind of morning that felt like the world itself was catching its breath after a long, unbearable nightmare.The last two nights have been crazy, but I believed we were all past that now.The air was crisp, carrying the faint scent of wet leaves and the electric tang of ozone, remnants of the chaos that had raged through the night.Everything looked cleansed, though nothing could ever truly erase the scars left behind. I stood at the window, watching the first rays of sunlight slip through the trees, touching the remnants of our field with a delicate, almost mocking softness.Danny moved through the garden below, carrying the ashes in his hands. I couldn’t see his face clearly, but the way he carried them, with a careful reverence, told me everything.Jax was beside him, silent, a steadfast shadow. I could sense the tension coiled in his posture, the same tension that always lingered after we had faced the worst the

    Danny’s POVThe night after the fire clung to the packhouse like a weight I couldn’t shake.Smoke still lingered in corners.The house, which had been alive with the chaos of Clara’s final battle, now felt hollow, a vessel emptied of everything but grief.Jean was gone. Serena had sacrificed herself. Clara was dead, finally. And yet, nothing in the stillness told me that the danger had truly passed.It was as if some unfinished thread remained, pulling at the edges of my consciousness, whispering that the end was never really the end.I tried to move, trying to organize my thoughts, but the weight pressing on me was unrelenting. Each sound from outside, a crackling branch, the distant call of a bird, made me flinch.Then it came. A howl, unlike any I had heard before. It cut through the night, splitting the darkness like a blade. The sound was raw, aching, and instantly familiar, Kiran. I heard the howl that day we were together.I froze where I stood. My blood reacted before my mind

  • Alpha’s Regret: The Return Of The Betrayed Luna    Chapter 175

    Lexi’s POVThe silence that followed that storm was suffocating, heavy, pressing against my ears as if the world were holding its breath.The packhouse smelled of burnt herbs and a bit of burnt flesh too, remnants of the battle Serena had waged against Clara’s dark hold.Everything felt unreal. Jean’s lifeless body lay sprawled on the floor, yet there was a strange serenity etched across her face.For a moment, I couldn’t reconcile the horror of the night with the peace she now bore. Her lips curved into a faint, peaceful smile, and it struck me how small, how fragile life could seem in the shadow of such power.Manny collapsed beside Danny. He was trembling, weak, the exorcism having drained every ounce of energy from him, she had her stronghold on him and that was the reason.His blackened veins had finally receded, the curse lifting like smoke disappearing into the morning air.I crouched beside him, pressing his hand into mine, whispering, “It’s over. It’s finally over, Manny. You

    Jax’ POVThat very moment froze in a way that made the world seem unreal. My eyes locked on Serena, and for a split second, I thought time itself had halted.Jean’s body collapsed with a graceless thud, black smoke coiling like a living thing as it poured toward Serena.My muscles locked, and my voice seemed to have fled me entirely. “No…” I whispered, but it was almost swallowed by the crackling energy around her.The smoke had reached her in an instant, a black river that wrapped around her body and seeped into her skin.Serena’s lips quivered, and she lifted a trembling hand as if she could hold the darkness at bay.“She’s inside me now,” she breathed, voice low, but steady enough for me to hear.I wanted to run forward, to grab her and shake her, to scream at this cruel twist of fate, but she lifted a hand, her eyes meeting mine with a determination I could almost touch. “Jax… don’t,” she said firmly. “I can end this. I told you… this was my purpose.”Her words struck me harder th
