MONICA.

“Monica!” Roman gasps, grabbing my waist and getting me off him. He sets me down on the grass before getting to his feet and taking me in his arms.

“I’m fine,” I try to say to him, but then I touch my nose and examine my hand.

The blood that I saw dripping on his face and chest is mine. It came from me. It came right out of my nose, and I don’t know why. I don’t know why I’m bleeding all of a sudden. All I know is that the sight of the blood makes me dizzy.

Roman is fully panicking now. He takes me to the bathroom and makes me sit on the edge of the bathtub. He grabs a towel and soaks it, about to bring it over to me to put on my face.

But before he can even get close enough, my vision starts to blur and everything blacks out….

Until I find myself in another dream.

It’s my mother again. But this time, it’s her funeral.

I’m sitting in front of the table where her urn is. Her blown-up picture is in the corner, surrounded by white roses. I remember being with so many people when

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   One Hundred Twenty

    MONICA.I never thought seeing Larissa again would make me feel so much hatred, but here we are.This is the same girl who clothed me at some point, who dined with me and shared everything with me. And I shared everything back. From food to my personal life to my dressed and my wine. This is the girl I treated like the little sister I never had. I faced a Creature to save her. I would have been alright getting mauled if if meant not bringing any harm to her.Now all I can think about is what the Disciple showed me about her and Yara. How they happily betrayed me and Roman—especially Roman, who have done nothing but be good to them.I simply don't understand."So it is true," I say in a low voice. "You do serve the Disciple. You and your mother."Larissa rises to her feet from her insultingly low bow. "We do serve him, my lady. I'm sure you finally met and you know what your relationship to him is. He's a wonderful man who has great plans for Terra Lycaon. We all fully believe in him."

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   One Hundred Nineteen

    ROMAN.“She’s your daughter?” I shake my head. The pain in the back of my head is getting more intense, and I don’t know if it’s because of this information or because the wound is getting worse. “I… I don’t understand. Her mother was a Human. She had cancer, and that was the whole reason why she got into that kind of work….”“That was my friend,” the Creature whispers. “She found Monica when she was killed by the Disciple. He tried to take her back but she gave him a time period, and he miraculously agreed. He believed that she would make good with her promise out of fear, but she tried to mask the scent of Monica and hide her from the world. It was working, but then you found each other.”Guilt starts to gnaw at my guts. I know that I consider it my biggest blessing to have found Monica when I did, but I can't even imagine how bad that must have been for her.No wonder the Creature attacks have gotten worse when Monica came around. Some of the Elders tried to pin it as her being unl

    MONICA.It had to be a lie. There’s simply no way it could be the truth. I look at the darkness where his face is supposed to be and I know deep down that I can’t trust it.“I made you,” the Disciple says in a low voice, and there’s a hint of raspiness in it that tells me that he enjoys sharing that fact. “You belong to me. Not to Roman, not to Terra Lycaon. At least, not the one that exists today. You belong to the future I’m going to make. With you by my side, in full power, no one will be able to stop us.”I can feel it from him, the waves of greed. I would even say that it’s hunger. It’s like hearing a delusional man stuck in the desert for so long, describing a feast that they’ve never had.“What do you plan to do?” I ask, stalling, stepping back.There must be a way I can still escape him. There has to be a way for me to get home and tell everyone about what he plans to do.But every step I take backward, he closes with another step forward until we’re face to face again. I can

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   One Hundred Seventeen

    ROMAN.Years of seeing this thing as the enemy didn’t allow me to get my guard down. I shake my head, backing away from it. “No, I can’t come with you.”As soon as I say that, I immediately recoil. What am I even doing here, talking to that thing? Did Cassandra get my head hit so hard that I’m starting to imagine things? I look in the distance and see that Cassandra is still being torn into pieces by the same Creatures. Janus is still nowhere to be found. The only thing keeping me from dying are the very things that I know killed my people before. If it’s possible for a Creature to look impatient, the one in front of me definitely looks like it. "We don't have much time. My people are already getting destroyed by that beast, and I only instructed them to fight before you come with me. I don’t want to lose them."The urgency in her voice makes me snap out of it for a moment. And that moment is enough for her to drag me by the back my shirt and out of the place."No, my friend is stil

    MONICA.The change in energy surrounding the Disciple causes the knot of dread in my stomach to lock up. He holds out his hand for me, his movement surprisingly graceful. I lift my hand, about to hold his and get this over with.But that’s when I feel the tug of energy from the portal and realize that it’s open again.I turn my body slightly, knowing that if I make a break for it, I might just make it.“It will all make sense soon,” he tells me, his tone gentle. “If you just come with me now, it’s all going to get better. Roman won’t be harmed. None of the people back in Terra Lycaon would be harmed. Take my hand.”It’s a request. Not a command. Like he’s really trying not to be too harsh with me. I don’t know what else that would do to me, because I already know that I can’t trust him.When I don’t move, he takes a step forward, emerging from the shadows. But the darkness seems to follow him. He extends his arms further, urging me to take it, but I also just take a step back.And bef

  • His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now   One Hundred Fifteen

    MONICA.“No,” I whisper to myself, running faster and ignoring the screams coming from the crowds I’m dispersing.The male voice in my mind is just as strong as the female one, if not stronger. If not louder. He laughs in my mind, taunting me.“You can’t escape me. I know where you are and I’m coming for you.”I run faster. My bulky body keeps ramming down the chairs in the alfresco restaurants. The people try to get off the sidewalks and into the streets, almost getting ran over by the rushing taxis. The chaos is palpable. The panic in my chest is even worse.Still, I push myself to run, navigating the streets. I can see some onlookers trying to take videos of me, but I don't care. I need to go back to Terra Lycaon as fast as possble.My breath is hitching in my throat. I'm not used to this form and how much energy it seems to take just running, and I'm starting to feel exhausted. “I need more energy,” I tell the female voice in my mind. “I need to keep up this form to save myself w
