~ JOCELYN ~

We've been on the road for nearly an hour now, but when we finally pull into the Nightfall territory, I feel like the time didn't slow down enough.

Not so much has changed around here. The billboards are still the same timeless giants displaying advertisements, but most of the shops have either been rebuilt, repainted, or merged into shopping plazas.

Even the houses aren't very different.

Our chauffeur has been provided enough information about the road leading to the packhouse, so there's no need for me to give him any directions. Besides, I'm not in the fucking mood to explain details about the one place I would give anything to avoid going back to.

I hate being here, however, my conscience won't allow me return to the Moonclaw Pack empty-handed. We need to stop these attacks no matter what.

Finally, after a few minutes, the car slows as the black gates of the packhouse come into view.

My knuckles tighten in my lap.

The gates are taller than I remember them, all r

    ~ 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

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   62. Spiral Into Darkness 2.

    ~ 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

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   60. The Watchtower 2.

    ~ JOCELYN ~ A long silence stretches between us. His words are still hanging in the air, burning my chest like a fire I can’t breathe through. I want to scream at him. I want to tell him that none of it matters, that the pain he caused me can’t be erased by tears and late confessions. And yet… I can’t move. I can't talk. I can't even look at anything else in the room. All I can do is stare at him. At the man who ripped me apart five years ago, the same man who is now standing here before me, broken, baring his heart as if it’s mine to shatter all over again. My fingers curl into fists at my sides, trembling with pain… and something else. Something I’ve been fighting against since the moment his blue eyes found mine at the funeral. That same something that has haunted me through the years no matter how hard I tried to kill it. Love. I hate that I still love him. I hate that I want to touch him, to feel him, to remember what it was like to be his light before everything went to dar

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   59. The Watchtower 1.

    ~ JOCELYN ~ I keep watching the burning pyres, still frozen and wondering why I felt so useless and powerless against Thanox last night. What happened? What is wrong with me? “Jocelyn, stay with me.” The voice mutters softly in my ear. Elian. His hand brushes my arm before I close my eyes and lean into him, resting my head on his shoulder and choking on a silent sob that doesn't want to break free. I'm silent, not crying, but deep inside me, I’m screaming. “Please don't lose yourself inside your head,” Sarah murmurs in a broken voice that cuts through my veins. When I open my eyes and glance her way, I see her watery eyes filled with a sadness I've never seen in her before. Her fingers curl around my hand, squeezing tight. Last night and this funeral are painful memories that we will never forget. I don't know why my tears are trapped inside me. Maybe I need to be away from the crackling fire and the water waves. Maybe I need to be somewhere else. Maybe I need to be ALONE. ~

  • The Alpha's Regret: Chasing Back His Rejected Luna   58. The Riverside 2.

    “No one is going to give you a prize for not crying. No one is going to praise you or reward you for bottling it all up. So, just cry when you feel like it.” - Yoon Shi Woo, Moorim School: Saga Of The Brave ~ CASPIAN ~ After the procession is over, families gather behind the pyres of their fallen. Some are carrying flowers. Others are holding their children too close, as if letting go for even a moment might invite Thanox to strike again. Their faces are streaked with tears, their voices crying out names that will never be forgotten. A hush settles over the place when the Head Elder begins delivering the tribute of passage. “Today, we’re gathered not as the living and the dead, but as a people bound by war, death, and sacrifice. Last night, the darkness came for us. He tried to break us, to tear apart everything we’ve ever fought for. And many of our own… they fought bravely and gave their lives so the rest of us could still be here this morning. They reminded us that our strengt
