Cousin?

What the hell is going on again?

The picture falls from my trembling hands, but Sarah catches it just in time. My mind is spinning, spinning faster than it did last night when my hands were glowing and my brain felt like it would split in two.

“No. No… this isn’t…” I shake my head. “That’s not possible.”

My heart starts racing all over again. Sarah is just there, smiling like she’s told me I’ve won the lottery, but all I feel is dizzy.

I take a step back, resting on the shelf for a moment. My legs feel weak. My chest feels tight, and my lungs are squeezing like I can't breathe anymore.

Damn all this.

“Jocelyn?” Sarah calls, reaching out.

But I don’t answer.

Instead, I spin around and rush out of the room.

“Jocelyn!”

She's still calling me, but I'm done hearing anything right now. I push past the hallway, past a set of flower vases that instantly remind me of wildflowers. Of Caspian and my rejection.

At this rate, I think I'm going to run mad before I e

Can you imagine finding out that your entire life has been a lie, and you were almost sold by your own father? What would you have done in Jocelyn’s shoes? Also, do you think Jocelyn’s mother made the right choice, handing her over to a stranger to save her… or was it too risky? Personally, I think a mother can do anything to protect her child🥺. That moment when Sarah said "You're blessed, cousin. Welcome home," did anyone else feel the comfort in that detail? 🥺 Which line from this chapter hit you the hardest? Was it the betrayal of her father? The unknown gift of her name? Her mother’s desperate search? Or the lovely promise of protection from her new family? 👀 Tell me in the comments! Next Chapter will take us back to the Nightfall Pack in Caspian's POV. Things are gradually heating up now🔥

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   76. Shackled In Darkness.

    ~ ELIAN ~ Pain. Pure, crushing pain. That’s the first thing I feel inside my entire body the instant I wake up and stir. The pain is deeper than any physical pain I've ever felt, and the parts of my body that hurt the most are my shoulders and ribs. Fuck. I thought I died. The realization that I'm not dead yet fills me with both happiness and fear. Yes, I'm alive, but why didn't they finish me off? Also, where am I? I stir further to the point where I'm able to sit up properly. A painful groan rips out of me when my ribs crack. It's really painful, as if someone continued beating me even after I was knocked out. My throat burns. My chest hurts, and I feel like my bones are grinding together to make sure I suffer more. I should be healed by now, so why is my body taking this long amount of time to heal? Lycena. That bitch! Whatever her nails did to me when they pierced my shoulders must be the reason why I'm still in so much pain. But where am I? My eyes peel open slowly.

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   75. The Real Traitor.

    ~ ELIAN ~ I feel sick about this. My eyes stay on Lycena as she pedals faster. The moonlight is my only guide, painting the woods in a wash of white while the shadows of the trees keep creating their own darkness. Every muscle in my body is straining as I keep pushing myself forward and keeping low, and my wolf inside me is demanding to be released, but I fight down the urge to give in and shift. I can’t shift now. I'm not with any spare clothes to change into if I shift and then transform back to my human form naked. I want to contact Jocelyn, but I can't risk it, especially since I don't know where this woman is heading to and I could be putting Jocelyn in more danger than the one she's already drowning in. I can't risk doing anything that will raise more suspicions and accusations against her. With that decided, I chase Lycena alone and faster, but not too loud to raise any suspicion. I've also masked my scent, but even that is not enough because my guts are telling me that so

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   74. A Rustle.

    ~ ELIAN ~ I had told Jocelyn to let me carry some of her pain. And truly, I meant every word. To be honest, being here in the Nightfall Pack feels like living in a foreign jungle where I have no protection. This place doesn't feel like home, and the answer is pretty simple. Many idiots live here. And there's so much going on behind the scenes that doesn't make any sense but still affects everything in the wrong way. Take for instance that shit Caspian pulled today. It doesn't make any sense that he accused Jocelyn of being the traitor when he knows how much she has sacrificed to help in ending the attacks. Even thinking about his foul accusation now only angers me more. But that aside, I believe Jocelyn is right about Caspian being manipulated, and we need to get to the bottom of this before it becomes worse. I let out a sigh and pause on my stroll near the servants' quarters not too far from the guesthouse. I find an empty rail near the walkway and rest on it, breathing in the n

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   73. Once And For All.

    ~ ELIAN ~ “He’s a fucking idiot!” I yell as soon as I enter the private sitting room of the guesthouse where we stayed during the summit. I dump our travelling bags on the ground and begin pacing the room, going back and forth with my blood boiling inside my veins. That asshole! He has lost his fucking mind. That’s the only explanation. Behind me, the door clicks shut softly. I turn just in time to see Jocelyn wiping her red puffy eyes and looking fragile, as if she is holding herself together with the last threads of strength she has left. Her bag slides from her shoulder and hits the floor with a dull thud. She doesn’t look at me. She doesn’t move. She just stands there, staring at the rug with her hands trembling at her sides. I stop pacing. Seeing her like this twists my anger into another feeling. A painful feeling that has me wondering why the hell Alpha Caspian behaved that way. The images of everything that happened back in that office swim through my head in a rapid rush

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   72. This Twisted Game.

    ~ JOCELYN ~What?Tears sting my eyes instantly, but I fight them back. “Wait, you think I’m working with the monster who wants to kill me? Are you insane?”“You're the one who is insane for lying to everyone and having the damn guts to tell me that you're suspecting someone else of being the traitor when the bloody traitor has been you all along. How dare you lie to me?”“And how dare you invite me here to listen to this garbage?!” My voice cracks, both broken and angry. “Who's feeding you lies about me? Is it Lycena? Tell me, is it her?!”“Shut up you liar!” He unfolds his arms, his fists clenched so tight the veins strain against his skin. “Lycena has nothing to do with this. In fact, I think she's been right about you all these years.”“What?” “You heard me. Don’t play innocent. Don’t you dare. Thanox knew about the summit. He knew exactly where and when to strike. And the only person he bloody had access to was you.”It's my turn to chuckle. “Wow. If that is why you think I'm th

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   71. His Accusation.

    ~ JOCELYN ~ Over a week has passed since the summit ended. Over a week of restless nights and pretending to focus back home here when really, all I’ve been doing is replaying Caspian in my head over and over again. During these past few days, I also took Declan's advice and thought long and hard about a lot of things. Turns out Declan is right. Choosing to forgive Caspian doesn't mean I'm weak. It means that I'm stronger than the person who hurt me and that I'm moving forward without anything or anyone holding me back. But now, being here in Declan's office and staring at the envelope between us as he waits for my reply to what he said to me earlier, something feels off. Caspian wants me to come back to the Nightfall Pack for something urgent, and somehow, it doesn't feel… right. “Jocelyn?” “Mhm?” I look up from the envelope, meeting his eyes. “Do you want to go?” he asks quietly, “I mean this…” he taps the letter, “this feels sudden.” “I know, but I'm sure there must be a go
