The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0239: Dead Is Too Easy
LISA'S POVThe first building came down right as I hit the edge of Blue Moon territory. Dust rolled hard across the road and swallowed the people running from it. Flames climbed the wall of a storage shed behind the dust, and a patrol truck burned against the fence.I stopped under a cedar tree and watched the whole place fall apart. Warriors ran in every direction. Some dragged the injured toward cover. Others shifted and chased the rogues tearing straight through the compound.Eric stepped up beside me. His dark jacket was gray with dust. He was the one who found me after the fall, half-dead and pinned in the rocks under the gorge. He dragged me off the riverbank, hid me while Blue Moon search parties walked right past, and kept me breathing until my wounds closed.I owed him my life. Then I found out he hated Benjamin almost as much as I did. Years ago Benjamin ran Eric's group off land they had claimed and never let them come back. Eric carried that grudge every single day since,
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0238: Rogues Hit Home
BENJAMIN'S POVCallum kept talking before I could even get a question out. "She isn't alone, Alpha. Six rogues confirmed with her, maybe more. They slipped down the old northern trail and split into small groups once they were through.""Are they taking ground?""No."That one word scared me more than any number he could have thrown at me."Then what the hell are they doing?""Wrecking everything they can reach."I stood in the middle of the guest suite and stared down at a coffee ring somebody had left on the table."She doesn't want Blue Moon," I said. "She wants it bleeding.""Where are the injured warriors?""On their way to the main clinic." Callum's voice hardened. "One has a broken leg. The other took a deep cut across the shoulder. They're both still breathing.""Keep them that way.""I will."I grabbed my keys off the table. "I'm coming back."Callum didn't sound surprised. "I knew you'd say that.""I'll be there as fast as I can drive." I ended the call and headed for the do
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0237:My Boy Comes First
Benjamin's POVI woke up at five out of pure habit and grabbed my laptop before my eyes even finished opening. Reports from Blue Moon were waiting, patrol updates, the council minutes Callum sends every single morning without fail. My hand was already on the lid when laughter drifted up from outside.I walked straight to the window. Down on the eastern training field my son was already running drills with Drake. Both of them wore sweats and their breath fogged in the cold air. Drake showed him a footwork pattern and Lucian copied it, tripped over his own feet, cracked up laughing, and went right back at it.I shoved the laptop aside and headed downstairs to join them.Drake spotted me first. "Look who finally dragged himself out of bed.""I've been up for an hour.""Sure you have."Lucian ran over red-faced and grinning. "Dad, watch this."He ran the drill again. His feet were still clumsy but his balance was better than yesterday. He finished and looked straight at me waiting for my
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0236: No Easy Answers
Alice’s POV The whole table froze. Drake set his glass down without drinking. John turned toward me. Damian's fork stopped halfway to his plate.Lucian looked around, fork still up, not getting why everyone had gone quiet."What?" he said.Damian recovered first. He grabbed the bread basket and set it by Lucian's plate. "Nothing. Eat your dinner.""I'm done." Lucian pushed his plate away. "So? Do you want me to?"Benjamin set his fork down. This time he didn't look at me. He looked at Lucian."That's a big question, buddy.""It's not that big." Lucian shrugged. "You and Mom live in Blue Moon. I live here. If you go back, I either go with you or I stay here. I want to know which one."I hadn't heard him put it that clean before. He was right. Nothing about it was complicated for him. Somebody had to decide, and nobody had.David leaned in. "Lucian, you don't have to decide anything tonight.""I'm not deciding. I'm asking." He looked at me. "Mom?"I set my napkin down. "I don't know ye
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0235: Missed Everything
Alice's POVI woke up before sunrise and just lay there listening to the house. No alarms. No patient files. No emergency calls. For the first time in years I had nowhere I had to be.Laughter came up through the window. I got up, crossed the room, and shoved it open. Down on the training field Benjamin was crouched low, walking Lucian through a defensive stance. Damian stood a few feet back with his arms crossed, correcting both of them every few seconds. Lucian lunged. Benjamin caught him. The boy's laugh hit me clear up on the third floor.I smiled before I even knew I was doing it.Breakfast was loud. Lucian sat between me and Benjamin, talking with his mouth half-full about some dream with a horse in it. Then he poured chocolate milk and reached straight for the pepper shaker."Since when do you like spicy food?" I asked."Since always," he said.I looked at Benjamin. He shrugged. "I'm learning too."Lucian piled mushrooms on his plate, then picked every single one out and lined
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0234: Just John
John’s POVI gave up on sleep around five in the morning. Instead of lying there staring at the ceiling, I put my shoes on and headed outside.The Shadow Moon estate is a lot bigger than anything we have at Blue Moon. The courtyards are wider, the training fields are longer, and there’s more glass and stone than wood. I’ve been here almost a week and I still get lost in the place.I took the path behind the residence toward the eastern courtyard. I heard voices before I even got there.Benjamin stood by the goalposts with a ball under one arm. Lucian was in front of him, hands on his knees, catching his breath.“Again,” Benjamin said. “Lock your ankle this time. Last one flopped like a fish.”“It did not.”“It absolutely did.”Lucian laughed and ran at the ball. He kicked it. The ball sailed wide and skidded across the grass.Benjamin didn’t say anything about the miss. He jogged after the ball, brought it back, and set it down in front of his son.“Try again. You’re closer than you t
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
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
