******DARRELL'S POV********

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

That’s the sound of my heartbeat when I laid my eyes on her again after six years. Emma Wilfred. The only woman my heart ever beat for. The only one who made me go crazy. The only name I called in my dreams. I finally saw her again.

I couldn't believe it—that I would lay my eyes on Emma again after she left me without even saying goodbye. She had hurt me. Broken me when I thought she would be the only person who would understand my heart in this world. I thought she would be the only one to keep me sane, but she didn't believe me. She didn't trust that I would fight for our love. Instead, she gave up and left.

Time seemed to freeze as our gazes locked. I could feel my wolf, Ryder, stirring relentlessly within me as he also caught her scent—wild honey and lavender, just as intoxicating as I remembered. He clawed at me from the inside, desperate to reach her, but I tried to keep him in.

Ever since the rejection, my wolf has never been him

  • THE ALPHA'S REGRET    CHAPTER NINETY

    ******DARRELL'S POV*******Every fiber in my being recoiled as Amaya's fingers worked at my tie but I have to stand still as we are still in public with a lot of reporters around us, their eyes boring into us and dissecting our every move."I always knew you were good-looking," she murmured, "but up close… you're dangerously handsome."Her gaze dropped to my lips, then slowly rose to meet my eyes."You look so delicious…." she purred, leaning in just a little, her voice barely above a whisper, "....that I’m tempted to lick every inch of you clean…" She dragged her tongue slowly across the corner of her lips, then caught her bottom lip between her teeth. "…especially that sinful mouth of yours.”I sighed heavily, the sound catching in my throat as disgust and frustration warred within me. What kind of merchandise had Elijah delivered to me? This creature was supposed to be my salvation, my way out of an impossible situation, but instead she was making my skin crawl with every calculated

    The flickering light of the ancient television cast dancing shadows across the crumbling walls as I sat curled on the ice-cold concrete floor, chewing another mouthful of uncooked noodles.I didn't even bother to cook it again, not after that almost run-down gas stove almost exploded yesterday, trying to turn me into roasted potatoes.Nothing in this house was working perfectly, and I couldn't believe that I had to stay stuck up in here for nine months.I can't use my phone.I can't use my card.I can't even leave this godforsaken house because Darrell's men are all around, looking for me.Is he really going to continue being like this forever?Why can't he just give up and stop all that nuisance? It's not as if I was some kind of criminal!I shook my head; I could not believe how childish he was. I knew he might be angry now, but once I had his first child, all that anger would quickly dissolve into thin air.He wouldn't still be acting like this after seeing his own blood, nor would

    *****DARRELL'S POV*****Aiden's sleek black car pulled up beside us, and I turned to find Emma fidgeting with her fingers, her head hung low like a child caught stealing cookies. The sight made my chest tighten with unexpected tenderness.She raised up her head and looked at me and immediately our eyes met, she quickly lowered it back, sucking in her lips.I had to bite back a laugh as I found her entire attitude very funny.Actually I did hear all of her conversations with Carmen. Even when she told me to have my two ears sealed off, I still continued to listen which makes me hear everything Carmen said that Hailey has done.But what I don't understand was why Emma would try to hide it from me in the first place?Did she think I would be angry or disappointed that my daughter did that?Why would I?When I haven't even heard her own side of a story.My little girl who I met just once didn't look like someone who would hit a person just for nothing.And I would never be disappointed in

    "Anyway, thanks for that long advice. I really do appreciate it.""You're welcome."" Now just put that aside for now and tell me—do you really understand everything I've just said?""You mean the 'you're welcome' part? Yeah, I think I understand that...""Fuck, Em! Are you saying you didn't listen to a single word I've been saying?""Of course I did. I just thought that was the most important part.""Em! Are you serious right now? I've been racking my brain, trying to think of ideas to help you, and…""Okay, fine. I heard everything." I let out a loud laughter, holding my belly. "I was just trying to pull your leg, girl."“ Fuck you!”"And seriously, I really had no idea you were so good at giving advice."She let out a loud sigh and I could practically imagine her rolling her eyes. "Well, I'm not really sure about that, but I think I got good at it thanks to you."Then I remembered that I heard the screech of tires the other time which seemed like she was driving."Are you driving r

    As his words continued to wrap around my chest like a warm blanket, all the anger, all the hurt that I had been feeling melted away like snow under warm sunlight. And all I could feel now was love….. and I felt eighteen again, just like back then when the only thing that sang in my head and heart was Darrell.My mind drifted back to earlier, to the moment when my tears threatened to slipped down after those tender, heart-stirring words:"You said you'd never make me cry again. But look at what you're doing right now." I said, my voice breaking as tears threatened to fall."Oh no!" Darrell moved his forehead away from mine and then cupped my face right into his hands as his eyes searched desperately for a way to make me stop crying. I could see the panic in his eyes as if that if those tears fell, the world would collapse."I can't let these fall." But the tears were already sliding down my face as I watched his worried expression, seeing him struggle to think of how to make them st

    "See that area over there?" I gestured toward a large, carefully maintained space near the back of the house, my words tumbling out in a nervous rush. "That's going to be the vegetable garden. I had the soil tested and everything—apparently it's perfect for growing tomatoes, herbs and many others. Hailey and I can practice agriculture. you can also join us sometimes. ”Emma remained quiet, but I could see her eyes following where I pointed, taking it all in. Her scent kept shifting between emotions so rapidly I could barely keep up—surprise, confusion, something that might have been longing, and underneath it all, that stubborn wall of hurt she refused to let down."And the best part," I continued, my voice growing more excited as I gestured toward the back of the property, "is the kennel area I've already ordered to be built behind the house. I thought... I thought maybe Hailey would like to pick out a puppy." I couldn't keep the hopeful smile off my face. "I know how much she loves
