Quick but honest update: exams start next week, and I need to fully focus, so updates will pause until August 1st.
I don't take your support lightly. School is how I'm building my future, but you guys are a big part of what keeps me going while I do it ā every read, every comment, every vote. You've made this more than just a story to me, and I hope it's more than that to you too.
I won't be updating, but I'll be thinking about this story (and you) the whole time. Same characters, same world, waiting for me on the other side of exam week.
While I'm gone ā what part of the story are you most excited to get back to? I'd love to read your guesses about what's coming next š
See you August 1st. Wish me luck š¤

DAMIANāS 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 havenāt 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.

The Alpha's Greatest RegretĀ Ā Ā 0228: Three Years Of Silence
BENJAMINāS POVShadow Moon was less than an hour away. I kept my eyes on the road the whole drive, but I didnāt really see any of it.The trees, the sky, the gray asphalt stretching out in front of the car ā none of it registered. The only thing I could see was a small face Iād 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 wasnāt sick yet. Heād 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 didnāt know he was in the hallway. I didnāt see him standing there in his pajamas, holding that wooden wolf, listening to every word. I didnāt 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

I could feel his hands, but nothing else.He got me into the chair by the window and crouched in front of me.āAlice.āāHe said yes,ā I said. My voice didnāt sound like mine. āI asked him straight out and he said yes.āāI heard him.āāHe said Lucian is alive.āāI know. I heard the whole thing.āI 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 couldnāt get a full breath.āMy son,ā I managed. āMy baby is alive.āI laughed in the middle of the sobs. The sound scared me. It didnāt sound human. Then the laugh broke into more crying and I just let it happen.āThree years, Benjamin. Three birthdays.
The Alpha's Greatest RegretĀ Ā Ā 0226: She Already Knew
Damianās POVI had the phone to my ear before the second ring. I was smiling, because for two days Iāve known my sister is finally coming home.āAliceāā I started but her voice caught me off.She didnāt say hello. Her voice was low and breaking at the edges.āIs my son Lucian alive?āEverything in me stopped. Three years of keeping one secret, gone in five words. I couldnāt find a lie anywhere in my head to put in front of it. I wouldnāt have used one even if I could.āYes.ā The word came out too fast, rougher than I meant. āLucian is alive. Heās safe. Heās here and heās fine and heās been fine forāāThe 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 āDamn,ā I said, to nobody. Not because I was angry.

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.āSomebody help me! My son canāt breathe!āLucian 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.āWhat happened?ā I got down on the gravel beside her.āHe collapsed
The Alpha's Greatest RegretĀ Ā Ā 0224: Goodbye Turned Into Hope
Aliceās 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 wasnāt awkward.
