The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0249: Somebody Took Him
ALICE’S POVI knew something was wrong the second I saw the empty chair.Lucian had been sitting in it just ten minutes ago, carefully sorting bandages into neat little piles while I checked the supplies John had brought into the clinic. Those piles were still lined up perfectly on the table, but his water bottle was gone.“Lucian?” I called out.Nobody answered.I stepped into the hall expecting to catch him running off to find one of his uncles, but the hall was empty in both directions. I checked the sitting room next and then the front door, where his shoes were missing from their usual spot on the mat.“Lucian!” I called again, louder this time.John came out of the storeroom carrying a box. “What happened?”“Have you seen him?” I asked.He set the box down. “No.”I took the stairs two at a time, holding onto the rail, and found his room empty too. His blanket was folded across the bed, his wooden wolf sat on the pillow, and his school bag was leaning against the wall right where
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0248: It Was All A Trap
BENJAMIN’S POVCallum lowered his phone, and the look on his face told me right away that I was already too late.“The rogue they caught at the outer boundary talked,” he said, shoving the phone into his pocket. “She’s not after the pack. She’s after Alice.”We were standing at the northern border post with a dozen warriors spread out through the trees. Lisa’s rogues had stopped attacking Blue Moon hours ago, and that should have made me feel better, but instead my skin crawled because I knew something worse was coming.“She knows Alice is at Shadow Moon,” I said. “And she knows Lucian is with her.”Drake shifted his weight against the fence post. His face was gray and his jacket was zipped up over the bandage on his side. “So we don’t give her a straight line to them.”“Get back to the house,” I told him.He gave me a tired look. “You already tried that.”“You nearly died today.”“And I’m still standing here.”Damian came up the trail with David right behind him, carrying a folded ma
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0247: I Will Not Hide
ALICE'S POVBenjamin had left for the northern border an hour ago to deal with Lisa's rogues, and his warning was still sitting right there on my phone screen. Outside the clinic window, warriors were moving into position around the compound. They were trying to keep everything looking normal for Lucian, but I could see the truth. There were more patrols than usual, more people talking on their phones, and more weapons in sight.I knew exactly what they all expected me to do. They wanted me to hide.I set the phone face-down and turned away from the window. "No."John looked up from the medicine cabinet he was organizing. "No to what?""I'm not going to stay locked in a room while everyone else protects me."He closed the cabinet and looked at me. "I wasn't going to tell you to do that.""But you were thinking it.""I was thinking that you always forget about your own safety the second someone else gets hurt."I gave him a look."See?" he said. "I know you."Those words used to mean
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0246: He Chose To Stay
BENJAMIN’S POVI knew exactly where Lisa was headed the second Callum started talking.“Her trail turned south,” he said, pointing hard at the map in his hands. “Toward Shadow Moon.”My stomach twisted so tight it actually hurt. Lucian was there.Callum was already folding up the map. I called Damian right away and started pacing next to the truck. He answered before the phone even finished its first ring.“I know,” he said.“Is Lucian safe?”“Yes. I put extra guards on the house the moment Alice got your message.”“Move him,” I said.Damian went quiet for a second. “Where do you want me to take him?”“Somewhere Lisa can’t get to him. Anywhere else.”He let out a long breath. “Benjamin, Shadow Moon is already the safest place we have.”“It was safe for three years but not anymore.”“I will have him move to a safe house tonight”I hung up and turned to Callum. “We’re going back right now.”The drive to Shadow Moon felt like it took forever. Callum rode in the second truck behind us. Dr
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0245:Alice Got Him Back
LISA'S POVHours before I baited Drake into those woods, one message changed everything for me.I was standing under the trees watching the smoke rise over Blue Moon, expecting the usual update about another damaged wall or another injured warrior or another way Benjamin's life was getting wrecked. Instead the rogue holding the phone looked confused when he called my name.I turned around and brushed the ash off my sleeve. "What?"He held the phone out to me. "One of our guys intercepted a message that was leaving Shadow Moon."I took the phone from him. Most of the message didn't mean anything to me. It was just about patrol positions, injured warriors, and people moving between Shadow Moon and Blue Moon. Then one single line jumped out at me and stopped me cold.Protect Benjamin's son. Keep Lucian inside the eastern residence until the threat is over.I held the screen up so the rogue could see it. "Read that line out loud to me."He squinted at the phone. "Benjamin's son. Lucian."
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0244: Blood And Wolfbane
DRAKE'S POVI knew Lisa was trying to lure one of us out the minute her rogues stopped moving like a pack. For two hours our patrols had chased scattered hits along the northern edge of Blue Moon, and every report sounded different. One rogue hit a supply truck, another knocked down a fence, and a third vanished before our warriors even got there. Then Callum brought Benjamin the one detail that mattered: Lisa's scent was nowhere near any of them."She split off on her own," I said, leaning over the map spread across the hood of the truck.Benjamin stood across from me with both hands braced on the metal, looking at the marked spots. "She wants somebody following her.""Yeah, and I think I know who."He looked up. "Me?""No." I tapped the map. "Me. I helped prove what she did, so if she's baiting somebody, it's me."Benjamin straightened up. "Absolutely not.""I didn't say I was going alone."He studied me for a few long seconds. "Callum goes with you.""If she sees a full team, she
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
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0005. Kid's First Betrayal
ALICE’S POVThe Blue Moon Festival was Lucian’s idea of heaven and my four-year plan of endurance.He’d been talking about it for weeks—the lanterns, the fireworks, the honey cakes from the booth near the stage. When he’d asked, he’d pressed both hands together like he was praying, eyes wide, and I
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0004. Four Years Too Late
ALICE’S POVThe days that followed had a rhythm I didn’t trust.Benjamin came every morning. He actually sat at the table — something I still hadn’t gotten used to — and ate whatever I put in front of him. He returned every evening and stayed until Lucian’s eyes drifted shut.Four mornings in a row
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
