~ JOCELYN ~

Truly, nothing bad happened to me.

I wake up the next morning feeling… different. That’s the only way to explain it. My hands are not glowing like they did last night, but something inside me has definitely changed. I can feel it like a closed door that is finally creaked open.

I say ‘creaked open’ because I still don’t know exactly what’s behind that door.

The morning sun peeks in through the windows, painting the room in soft gold. Right now, I’m standing in front of the mirror, topless and braless, staring at my face and body.

Everything looks the same, but I know I’m not the same girl who collapsed after I crossed the boundary two nights ago. I don’t feel like her anymore.

Sighing, I turn a bit to stare at my back. I twist a little to the side so I can see it clearly—the mark.

It's truly red, like a bold, fearless tattoo shaped like a sun with sharp pointed rays stretching out in all directions. At the center, there is a large crescent moon cradling a five-pointe

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   66. Back Home.

    ~ JOCELYN ~I’ve missed this place so much, but it feels different now. I don’t feel the same after seeing Caspian again at the Nightfall Pack.Closing my eyes, I take a deep, shaky breath and let it out slowly. When I open my eyes again, I’m staring at the gates of the Moonclaw Institute.Our car rolls forward, passing through the entrance. I wave at the guards through the window as Sarah squeezes my other hand and Elian clears his throat, pretending not to be emotional but his ears are red. My heart should be racing with excitement. This has been my home for years. My safe place. My home where I found family when I thought I had none.However, I feel torn. Cold. Sad. A part of me is still back there in Nightfall, standing in that office and staring into blue eyes that once felt like the whole world to me. I didn't want to leave him. But I had to. I had to make the right choice at that time.Caspian will be fine without me.Sighing, I push the thought down as our car slows and parks

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   65. What Hurts More.

    ~ CASPIAN ~I feel like I’m losing her all over again.The summit is over. Officially yet painfully over. The sun has already reached its zenith in the sky, the hot afternoon warming my skin outside the compound of the guesthouse.The compound is filled with cars of the delegates and their entourages getting ready to leave, some loading their trunks with luggage and everything else they came with, while the others are already rolling out through the gates after bidding their farewells, leaving to get back to their respective packs.More farewells are exchanged by those yet to leave. Hugs, firm handshakes, and more hugs and assurances that everything we discussed in the summit is going to be implemented for everyone's safety. Every leader who leaves carries the burden of Thanox’s shadow, but also the burning spark of hope that maybe—just maybe—we stand a winning chance if we all stand together.I try to take comfort in that, but my heart is in deep pain.One by one, the delegates leave

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   64. A Traitor.

    ~ JOCELYN ~We need to work together, but I don’t know if my heart can continue handling being near Caspian.Four weeks have crawled by since Thanox shattered our world and threatened to come back. Four weeks since the screams, the blood, the funeral. Everything.Four weeks since I looked death in the face and felt fear rip into my bones like a parasite I can’t destroy.And yet… life hasn’t stopped.The Nightfall Pack has been busy repairing and healing from the destruction. More warriors have been sent to the borders for increased vigilance, and other packs have been notified to increase and tighten their security. Children here have been hushed into their school lessons again, though I can tell by their restless eyes every evening as they stroll by the guesthouse that they’ve forgotten how to feel safe.War can do that to people, especially to young minds that need protection from the evil of this world until they're ready to face the monsters themselves.And every day of these four

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   63. Alliance Of Evil.

    ~ LYCENA ~“I want to become the most powerful she-wolf the world has ever seen.” The final words leave my lips with every drop of desire burning through my veins.I don’t care that Thanox is looking at me right now like I’m a foolish soul begging for things far beyond my reach. I don’t care that his throne is radiating death itself or that his smile is sharper than knives. I’ve already crossed the line.I’ve already betrayed everyone.Caspian. The Nightfall Pack. My so-called people.All of them.And I don’t fucking regret any shred of it.Thanox leans forward on his throne, resting his black pointy fingernails on his chin as if he’s studying me like an insect he might squash or keep as a pet. His eyes are still red and glowing with a hunger that sinks under my skin, crawling all over my spine like poisonous spiders.He is intimidating, but I force myself not to look away from his piercing gaze.“Ambition,” he finally breaks the silence with his teasing voice. “I like that. Ambition

    ~ LYCENA ~He's fucking right.I'm done being nothing and always looking over my shoulders. I’m done being anxious and pretending to be powerful.I need true power.And Nyx here is going to help me get it.“Nyx…” I pause, my heart thundering as I swallow hard before I continue. “The first time we met, you promised me connections that will make me more powerful and even start a pack of my own. Something about you is definitely strange, but I believed you. I'm tired of waiting around and begging for scraps. Now is the time for you to fulfill that promise to me.”A long pause follows.“Lycena,” Nyx's smile is audible in his voice, even behind the mask. “Are you sure that is what you want now?”“Yes,” my answer bursts out of me. “If Caspian wants Jocelyn, then let him drown in her blood. Let him choke on her ashes. I want her gone. I want her dead. I want true power more than enough to make her regret ever breathing in this world.”Another long pause settles between us as Nyx studies me f

    ~ LYCENA ~I storm into my room and bang the door shut. Instantly, a scream tears from my throat, a very loud scream I've been holding in since I figured out the whole scene I witnessed at the tower.Fuck!I need to hold my shit together, but I can't. My claws are ripping through my fingers. My fangs are growing out of control, piercing my lips. Blood drips onto my immaculate white dress. I can't stop the tears, and my throat turns sour as I keep screaming again and again.Yanking off my heels, I fling them across the room, breathing heavily with every scream that rips through my sour throat. My bed creaks with the force of my weight. I claw at the pillows. The sheets. At anything within reach until the bed becomes a tangled mess.But it's still not enough to suppress my anger.More. I need more destruction.I rise and march to the vanity table. Reaching there, the flower vase crashes to the floor with a single sweep of my hands. Some of the pieces cut into my toes when I kick the sha
