The Alpha's Greatest Regret Chapter 29
Chapter 29Soren woke early the next morning, before the household had properly stirred, and sat for a long while at the small writing desk in his guest room, a blank sheet of paper in front of him that he'd been meaning to fill for days.He was no closer to finding her. The girl from all those years ago, the one who'd knelt in the dirt and stitched his side back together with steady, unhurried hands, asking for nothing in return. He had a name, and precious little else, and the name alone had gotten him nowhere in the months and years he'd quietly searched for her.He thought of her now the way he always did, in fragments rather than a whole picture. The exact color of her eyes had faded from his memory, blurred by blood loss and time. Her voice, though, that had stayed with him. Warm, unhurried, careful with him even when she had every reason not to be. And she had talked, during those three days he lay hidden and healing, about her family, her mother especially, with a kind of easy
The Alpha's Greatest Regret Chapter 28
Chapter 28Soren heard about it within the hour, the story already twisted through three or four retellings by the time it reached him, each version slightly worse than the last. By the time Liam found him near the stables that evening, the story had grown into something close to an assault."You've heard, I assume," Liam said without preamble, falling into step beside him."I've heard several versions," Soren said. "None of them agree with each other.""The truth is simple enough. Callie hurt Rowena. Again." Liam's jaw was tight, his hands flexing at his sides. "I know you've been spending time with her. Talking to her in the garden, sitting with her in the evenings. I'm telling you now, as a friend, don't let her fool you the way she's fooled half this household into forgetting what she is.""And what is she?" Soren asked evenly."Dangerous. Manipulative." Liam's voice hardened. "She hurt Rowena once before, badly enough to land herself in prison for it, and the moment she's home, R
The Alpha's Greatest Regret Chapter 27
Chapter 27Callie had been asked, or rather told, to help carry linens up to the second floor, and she was coming around the corner of the east hallway with an armful of folded sheets when Rowena appeared from the opposite direction, hurrying, her attention fixed on a letter in her hands rather than the hallway ahead of her.They collided.It wasn't hard, not really, just the ordinary clumsy collision of two people not watching where they were going. But Rowena's ankle caught awkwardly against the leg of a side table, and she went down sideways, her shoulder striking the corner of the table's edge before she hit the floor.She cried out, a sharp, startled sound, and didn't get up."Rowena!" Callie dropped the linens and knelt beside her immediately. "Are you hurt? Let me see—""Don't touch me," Rowena gasped, curling around her arm, her face twisted in pain. "It hurts, it hurts so much—"Servants came running at the sound, and within minutes the hallway had filled with people, someone
The Alpha's Greatest Regret Chapter 26
Chapter 26Soren found himself present for a small, ordinary moment that told him more than any of his silent observations about Callie ever could.Elena had taken a turn for the worse in the night, her fever spiking, and the household had woken to a flurry of activity, chaos and mayhem existing at the same time as the servants were rushing for the doctor, Peter was pacing outside her door, Rowena in tears in the hallway, being comforted by two of the household elders. Peter's father was looking grim, and was not saying anything in particular.Callie was already inside the sickroom by the time Soren arrived, having slipped past the chaos entirely unnoticed by the family who never bothered to notice her presence even in the best of days. She sat at Elena's bedside, a cool cloth pressed to her mother's forehead, murmuring something low and steady, probably little nothing to pacify her, as she wiped her body with the clothes, slow and her hands steady, with the same quiet competence s
The Alpha's Greatest Regret Chapter 25
Chapter 25Soren stayed at the estate longer than he'd originally planned to stay. He had sent letters back to his territory so that his family would be aware of the delay. Alliance talks took time, and Cassium had asked him to remain through the week, with him, so they could finish it at once and go back together, and Soren was curious to find out more about this family especially that adopted daughter Callie, so he found himself agreeing without a second thought.He did not know what it was exactly, but something about her drew him closer and he was curious to know what was underneath all those walls she erected for herself.Due to having nothing important to do, and simply being a guest, Soren found himself with more idle hours than he expected, and he spent a good number of them simply watching and observing the inner workings of the estate.He noticed things that he noted down personally.He noticed that Callie ate alone most mornings, usually finishing before the rest of the ho
The Alpha's Greatest Regret Chapter 24
Chapter 24The moment Callie disappeared through the side doors, Rowena was already crossing the hall, her whole demeanor transformed into something warm and radiant, nothing like the previous demeanour she had on before."Lord Soren," she said, dropping into a graceful little bow, "it's such an honor. We've heard so much about you."Soren turned to face her, his expression settling back into polite neutrality, as his eyes went up and down, before giving her a polite smile as he nodded his head. "Lady Rowena, I presume.""You presume correctly." Rowena smiled, soft and a little shy, exactly the kind of smile that made people want to protect her. "Cassium speaks of you often. I'm so glad you could finally join us."Introductions carried on around them, elders stepping forward to greet the newly arrived lord, to try and get good favours from him because he was quite important and a good relationship with the northern prince was basically as worth as gold, there were also servants refil
