The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0229:Was It All Of You
DAMIAN’S POVI checked my watch. Four minutes since the last time I looked.The sun was going down behind the western hills. The whole compound turned gold. Guards walked the perimeter. Staff came in and out of the main doors with papers under their arms. Just a normal evening at Shadow Moon.My sister hung up on me eleven hours ago. The secret I kept for three years came out this morning. I haven’t touched the reports on my desk since. I put off two meetings. I canceled a third.Drake leaned against the front porch with his arms folded. David stood a few feet away. His face had no color. His eyes stayed on the gate. We spent all day in my office trying to figure out what to say to her. We found nothing. There was nothing to find.“You’ve been pacing for twenty minutes,” Drake said.“I know.”“You’ll wear a hole in the pavement.”“I’m not worried about her yelling at me.”“I know you’re not.”“I’m worried she’ll never call me big brother again.”Drake had nothing to say. He’s had an a
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0228: Three Years Of Silence
BENJAMIN’S POVShadow Moon was less than an hour away. I kept my eyes on the road the whole drive, but I didn’t really see any of it.The trees, the sky, the gray asphalt stretching out in front of the car — none of it registered. The only thing I could see was a small face I’d spent three years trying to forget.The last time I saw my son, he was four years old. Small. Scared. About to find out exactly what his father thought of him.He wasn’t sick yet. He’d been healthy right up until that night. A loud kid who laughed too much, asked too many questions, and followed his mother around the house like a shadow.I destroyed him with four words.I never wanted him.I didn’t know he was in the hallway. I didn’t see him standing there in his pajamas, holding that wooden wolf, listening to every word. I didn’t see his face fall apart or watch him turn and run.Alice saw all of it.She was looking past me before I even finished talking. When I turned to see what she was looking at, her face
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0227: I’m Coming with You
ALICE’S POVThe phone slipped out of my hand and hit the desk. I didn’t hear it land. All I heard was my brother’s voice on the other end.“Yes. Lucian is alive. He’s safe. He’s here and he’s fine. He’s been fine this whole time—”My legs gave out. Benjamin caught me before I hit the floor. He held on tight. I could feel his hands, but nothing else.He got me into the chair by the window and crouched in front of me.“Alice.”“He said yes,” I said. My voice didn’t sound like mine. “I asked him straight out and he said yes.”“I heard him.”“He said Lucian is alive.”“I know. I heard the whole thing.”I still had the file clutched against my chest. The clock on his desk ticked loud in the quiet room.Then the crying hit me all at once. I couldn’t get a full breath.“My son,” I managed. “My baby is alive.”I laughed in the middle of the sobs. The sound scared me. It didn’t sound human. Then the laugh broke into more crying and I just let it happen.“Three years, Benjamin. Three birthdays.
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0226: She Already Knew
Damian’s POVI had the phone to my ear before the second ring. I was smiling, because for two days I’ve known my sister is finally coming home.“Alice—” I started but her voice caught me off.She didn’t say hello. Her voice was low and breaking at the edges.“Is my son Lucian alive?”Everything in me stopped. Three years of keeping one secret, gone in five words. I couldn’t find a lie anywhere in my head to put in front of it. I wouldn’t have used one even if I could.“Yes.” The word came out too fast, rougher than I meant. “Lucian is alive. He’s safe. He’s here and he’s fine and he’s been fine for—”The line went dead. I took the phone away from my ear and looked at it for a minute more, trying to figure out what just happened “Damn,” I said, to nobody. Not because I was angry. I never once wanted her to find out like that. I wanted her to come home so we can finally talk but I guess that’s not happening again.There was a knock. The door opened before I answered it. Drake came in a
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0225: Three Years Of Guilt
Damian’s POV I lied to my sister about her son. It’s cost me sleep every night for three years.The office was dark. The warm cup of coffee next to me had gone cold an hour ago. Outside the window, the training field out east was empty. In front of me was a folder I’ve only opened maybe four times since the day Lucian was discharged from the hospital.I closed my eyes and let the memory pull me towards everything that happened that nightI was driving back from a border meeting when I saw a woman down on the gravel holding a little boy. My wolf already knew who she was from fifty yards away.My sister Alice.I hit the brakes so hard the car spun on the dark road. She was already screaming before I got the door open.“Somebody help me! My son can’t breathe!”Lucian was four at the time. His lips were blue. His skin was burning hot through his shirt. His breathing came in short, rough scrapes with a rattle underneath.“What happened?” I got down on the gravel beside her.“He collapsed
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0224: Goodbye Turned Into Hope
Alice’s POV The staff on the door already knew. News like that moves through a compound faster than smoke.Benjamin was in his study.Neither of us said anything at first. It wasn’t awkward. It was the other kind—where both people have way too much to say and no idea how to start.“So,” he said. “This is goodbye then.”“My brothers have waited three years for me to come home. They’ve been patient about it. They’re out of patience.”He crossed the room toward me slow.“Is there anything at all that would make you stay?”I already had the answer ready and still needed a second to get it out.“My place is with my family, Benjamin. They’ve lost enough already.”“Alice—”“And Blue Moon doesn’t need me now. You’ve got Morwen. She’s ready. I’ve left her everything I know.”“I disagree with the first half of that.” He stopped a few feet away. “The pack still needs you.”He waited a beat. “So do I.”The confession wasn’t romantic. It was honest. Raw. And coming late.My eyes filled with tears.
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 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 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
