The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0149: The Wet Entry
John’s POV "When you came back and there was a new name in the book. Was the ink still wet?"She sat with that, hands flat on the desk, wanting to give me an answer she didn't have, and I made myself sit there and watch."I never looked," she said. "It was a visitor's name in a visitors' book. Why would I look."The log had been in the evidence box six days and I'd been through it forty times. Out it came again.Twelve entries on that page, eleven of them dry and a little faded, because that's what ink does in a warm room. The twelfth — nine ten in, nine thirty out, the name that doesn't exist anywhere in the pack records — is darker than the eleven above it.Not by much. You wouldn't catch it unless you'd tried everywhere else first."It's the same pen," Morwen said. "It's the pen that lives on that desk.""I know.""So it means nothing.""It might mean that entry is younger than the ones above it.""Younger by how long?""That's the part I can't give you." I slid it back in the sle
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0148: Ten Minutes Missing
JOHN'S POVThe clinic opened the morning after the hearing, and the first thing anybody said to me was about it."Three people asked when Doctor Watson's coming back," Morwen said. "Two wouldn't be seen by me at all. They're sitting out there anyway, so they'll change their minds by eleven." She set a chart down. "And four of them wanted to know what she said in that chamber. I told them to ask an elder.""What did they hear she said?""That she was sorry. And that she wouldn't give a name." Morwen looked at me over the top of the desk. "The second one's gone round this compound faster than the first."She testified for three hours yesterday while I stood outside a room they wouldn't let me into, and I haven't been able to get to her house anymore, because a doctor carrying a case file is exactly who those men have been told to keep off that doorstep. She'll have eaten nothing since. She'll have gone home and reorganized a cupboard instead without watching TV or doing anything else.I
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0147:The Council's Blind Spot
Benjamin’s POV "Or she was clever enough to see it coming.""Then there is no answer available to her." He turned his palms up and let them drop. "None. You've built a shape she can't get out of. Calm and she's hiding it. Distressed and she's performing. Helpful and she's clever. Silent and she's guilty. I've sat at this table thirty years and I won't vote inside a shape like that."Marcus spoke without lifting his eyes off the page in front of him. "There's a simpler problem and we all keep walking around it. Every ruling in this business has come from a man who cannot be objective about the woman at the center of it, and this morning he negotiated the terms of her questioning and had them recorded under his own name."That was my moment to answer him. There wasn't a sentence in me that wouldn't have proved him right in front of eight people, so I stayed where I was and let Marcus have the last word about me while Harris wrote something down.Then Petra said, "So we tighten the conf
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0146: You Can't See It
BENJAMIN'S POVThe chamber emptied out slow and then all at once, and Callum took Alice through the side door with one junior enforcer and his hands nowhere near her arm. She looked at me on her way past. A second, maybe less. Then the door.Lisa stayed put, sitting there in that emptying room with her eyes on the chair Alice had been sitting in, and when we were down to nine I went over."You did that well.""I wasn't trying to do it well." She didn't look up. "I was trying to get an answer.""Did you get one?""I got answers. I've no idea if any of them were true.""You'd decided she was lying before she sat down, so there was nothing she could have said in that chair that—""You believed her before that girl was cold." Lisa stood up. "You've never doubted her. Not for one hour. Everybody in this territory knows it, including you.""No. I haven't."“She could have done it, Benjamin. You can’t see that because you still love her. You’ve been in love with her since the day she came ba
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0145: I Don't Have A Name
ALICE'S POVSorin didn't answer her. She looked past me instead, down the length of the room, to where Benjamin stood.He didn't move. No nod, no hand, nothing. He'd spent an hour of his own authority buying the arrangement that put me in this chair, and part of what he'd bought was that he didn't get to interfere with the process now."Doctor Watson," Sorin said. "It's yours to refuse.""She can ask."Lisa came up out of the back row and stopped a few feet short of my chair, close enough not to raise her voice, far enough that nobody could call it standing over me. Black dress, hands loose in front of her. She didn't look at the elders once."Did Lily trust you?" she said."Yes.""Did she come and see you often?""Every week.""Did she bring you things? Drawings?""Every week.”"She loved you." It was not a question, and she left it out there long enough for the room to hear it as one. "Didn't she?.""Yes. She did."Lisa nodded, slow, as her eyes swelled up with tears, and she let th
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0003. Don't Get Used To It
ALICE’S POVBy the time I walked into the hospital room, I had composed myself completely. My face was set.Lucian was awake, sitting up in bed. His face brightened the moment he saw me."Mommy. You came back.""I came back." I lifted him into my arms. He smelled like baby shampoo, antiseptic, and
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0002: Thirty Days of Dad
Alice’s POV"What?""Is this your new plan? To trap me again?" Benjamin’s voice dripped with contempt. "Did you run out of tricks, Alice? Is faking our son’s terminal illness really the best you could come up with?"I couldn’t breathe. The hospital hallway seemed to close in around me, the walls pr
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0001:One Month Left
ALICE’S POVI hadn't slept. I'd counted his breaths instead.It had been four hours since Lucian collapsed at breakfast. Four hours since I’d screamed loud enough to wake every wolf on our floor of the western wing. Now the monitors did the counting for me — soft, steady, mechanical as my son slept
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0006: He is a Mistake
ALICE’S POVI should have taken Lucian home.I should have picked him up, carried him away from this festival of false joy and false hope, and tucked him into bed with a story, a kiss, and a promise that tomorrow would be better.But I didn’t. Because Lucian wanted to see the fireworks. And I could
