The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0251:Take Me Instead
Benjamin's POVLucian was sitting under that oak tree with rope tied around his wrists, and it took everything I had not to run straight across the clearing and tear into the people standing between us. Lisa stood right in the middle with a knife in her hand, and two rogues waited behind her watching every move I made. Every part of me wanted to shift and rip through anyone who got in my way, but Lucian was right there and one wrong step could get him hurt."Dad," he said, and his voice was shaking.I kept my eyes locked on him and said, "I'm here."Lisa's mouth twisted into a bitter look. "You always were good at showing up when it mattered to you.""Let him go."She moved a little closer to Lucian, and I stepped forward before I could stop myself. "Don't."Lisa smiled. "See? You're afraid.""I'm not afraid of you," I told her, and I held my empty hands out so she could see them. "I'm afraid of what you'll do if I give you a reason."Her face went hard. "You already gave me one. You
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0250:I Can't Let You Go
LISA’S POVI had pictured this moment so many times that I thought I knew exactly how it would feel, but I was completely wrong. Lucian sat on the ground under the old oak with his back against the trunk and his hands loosely tied at the wrists. And the second I saw him I realized he looked just like Benjamin with those blue eyes, dark hair, and the same jawline. He was alive and breathing right in front of me after I had spent years believing Alice's son was dead and buried, and that hit me harder than I ever expected."Are you Lisa?" he asked so quietly I almost didn't hear him."You already know who I am," I said."I'm Lucian." He said his own name carefully, like he was testing whether it was safe to say it to me.I crouched down near him and pressed my hands flat on my knees. "Your mother got to keep you," I told him.He frowned. "My mom?""Alice."His whole face softened at her name. "She's my mom."Something twisted hard in my chest. "She got to keep you, and I lost my daughte
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 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
