Chapter 3

Author: Tiptik
The next day, I took Rachel back to our old place.

From far away, I saw Darius and Raven holding Cole's hands. He was wearing brand-new training armor meant for pups. He ran around and laughed loudly. "Mom, this outfit is so cool!"

Raven shot Darius a glance and quietly prompted, "Who bought your armor? What did I say you have to do?"

Cole understood her meaning right away. He turned to Darius with excitement and said, "Thanks, Dad!"

The word "Dad" made both Rachel and me freeze on the spot.

When Darius noticed us, a flash of panic crossed his face. "Selena, listen to me! Let me explain…

"Ever since Michael died in battle, Cole has been very unhappy. Today was a rare instance of him taking a liking to this armor, so I used the extra money we had to buy it for him."

Extra money we had, huh? He was the one who told me clearly that the money we had was saved for me.

Looking at it now, in Darius' eyes, it seemed Rachel and I were the extra baggage.

I didn't cry or make a scene. I just clenched my fingers tightly and said calmly, "Alpha Darius, you personally promised me that you would trade money and game for my position. You're the Alpha. You have to keep your word."

When Darius saw that I was still determined to take the money and game, his expression turned stormy.

"Selena, that's enough! Michael was my Beta. After he passed away, Cole no longer had a father. I promised him I would take good care of his mate and pup.

"You're my mate and the Luna! Look at yourself now. How can you fight with a pup over such things?"

Sure, his Beta's son lost his father. But my daughter, despite still having a father, might as well not have one.

At that moment, Raven walked up to me with a smug look. She handed me a bag and said, "Luna Selena, Cole was at fault this time. I told them the armor was too expensive and not to buy it, but Alpha Darius spoils him too much…

"There's still some food at home. You can take it first for emergencies. Cole doesn’t like to eat it anyway, and it would be a waste to throw it away."

Inside the bag were a few small potatoes that had already sprouted, and half a pack of moldy flour with bugs in it.

When I met the smile in Raven's eyes, my anger finally reached its peak.

However, Rachel suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "Thanks, miss, but we don't need it."

She looked up at Darius, her eyes no longer holding the reliance they once did. Only icy mockery remained in them.

"Dad, you taught me before that sprouted potatoes are poisonous and can't be eaten. Have you… forgotten it yourself?"

Darius' body trembled all over. He was about to speak when suddenly, a mix of screams and howls came from behind us.

We all turned around at the same time and saw Cole lying in a pool of blood, clutching a shattered piece of armor.

In my past life, Cole also had an accident while running around wildly in the pack's hunting grounds.

Raven screamed, almost collapsing on the ground. She grabbed Darius' hand tightly and screamed, "Alpha Darius, save my son! He's bleeding!"

Darius rushed forward and held Cole tightly in his arms.

As the scene descended into chaos, I felt my heart sink into an icy abyss.

In my previous life, Cole had a sharp stone pierce his eye. Darius went mad and planned to have a witch replace his eye with Rachel's.

At that time, Rachel was sick, and her body didn't meet the required conditions. Fortunately, she kept her eyes.

But now…

I picked Rachel up and ran.

Raven ignored her son lying in a pool of blood and lunged at me, gripping onto me tightly. "Luna Selena, how can you be so heartless? Don't you see what happened to my son?"

I protectively held Rachel behind me. "If your son is hurt, send him to the healers. I'm not a healer!"

Raven suddenly turned to Darius and cried miserably. "Darius, Cole's face is covered in blood! Look at his eyes. What if he goes blind? His father is already gone!

"Cole is Michael’s only child. If his eyes are damaged, his whole life will be destroyed! If Michael were still alive, he would never let Cole get hurt…"

Darius' gaze suddenly landed on Rachel. He seemed to struggle for a moment before finally closing his eyes and saying, "Take Rachel to the infirmary, too."

  • The Alpha's Regret: Mate and Pup Gone   Chapter 10

    Darius died soon after.When Raven and Cole left, they had taken everything he owned, and spending what little he had left to buy things for Rachel had drained his last savings.The pack had also taken back the house he had been given. Just like Rachel and I had lived in our past life, he was left to wander the frozen wilderness and sleep out in the open.I heard he got so hungry that he tried to fight with Rogues for food. They mauled him everywhere, and he collapsed in the snow. He spent the night there and eventually froze to death.Darius' death didn't cause much of a stir in the pack. The pack members would mention him in passing—how a former Alpha had fallen from grace and met such a miserable end—but their attention would quickly shift to the next story.After all, this was the harsh reality of the werewolf world. The weak and defeated didn't command attention for long.By the time they found Darius' body, it was frozen solid, like a stone abandoned in the wilderness.Wit

  • The Alpha's Regret: Mate and Pup Gone   Chapter 9

    Meanwhile, I finally learned the full truth of what happened to Ezra back then."The ferry I was supposed to take was indeed ambushed by the Shadow Pack that day. But when I reached the snowy highlands, thanks to the Moon Goddess' favor, I switched to another ferry at the last moment and masked my presence."After returning to the kingdom, we determined that letting me appear dead in that attack was likely the best course of action."So, I hid my name and went south…"Ezra's eyes grew wet as he spoke. He held my hand and Rachel's tightly."This involved the highest secrets of the kingdom, and I had no way to contact the outside. I couldn't tell you I was still alive."I never imagined that when we finally reunited, I would see you and Rachel being bullied like this."Vaguely, I felt something was off. In my past life, until Rachel and I starved to death, there was never any word from Ezra. Why had he returned early this time and changed our fate?Unless…It wasn't until I sa

  • The Alpha's Regret: Mate and Pup Gone   Chapter 8

    The fallout from this incident was severe, and the Alpha King delivered his judgment swiftly.Darius had falsified pack records to help Raven and Cole fraudulently claim a fallen warrior's compensation. His actions were deemed utterly reprehensible, and he lost his Alpha position.The Elder Council also reviewed Raven's case and suspended all benefits for her and Cole. The job Darius had arranged for her was gone, too.Darius, Raven, and her nightmare of a son instantly became the most despised outcasts in the pack.I heard that, on the day the sentence was handed down, Cole lunged at Darius, kicking and hitting him."You blind cripple! This is all your fault!"Then, he clung to Raven's leg, whining and crying, "Mom, I want jerky! I don't want to eat potatoes! You promised you'd buy it for me as long as I called him 'Dad!'"Raven's face went ashen with fear.The Council then became suspicious that she had encouraged Cole to poison Michael. She was placed under investigation, wi

  • The Alpha's Regret: Mate and Pup Gone   Chapter 7

    Darius had thought the same. Unfortunately, he was wrong. After losing his eye, he became completely disabled and could no longer serve as the pack's Alpha.He left the infirmary in the morning, and by that afternoon, Raven had already left with Cole. Before she left, she cleaned out everything in the house.At the time, Darius's eye hadn't fully healed yet.Word was that, to save money for Cole's sake, Darius had left the infirmary in a hurry before his wound had even healed.Later on, the wound became infected, causing his eye to itch and ache. He fumbled his way home, hoping Raven would take him back to the healer for a checkup.But all his hands reached out to was emptiness and cold.At first, Darius didn't understand why they had left. He had arranged a job for Raven earlier, so he went to her workplace to find her.That was when he overheard Raven and Cole talking."Mom, what if Dad comes looking for us? He's blind now and has no money. He's not the Alpha anymore, and he

  • The Alpha's Regret: Mate and Pup Gone   Chapter 6

    Darius' expression turned extremely unpleasant.Raven suddenly rushed out, shouting anxiously, "How could you take Darius' eye? He's the Alpha! His eyes serve a greater purpose. Your daughter—"I laughed out loud and retorted, "What about my daughter? Darius and your son are werewolves, but Rachel isn't one. I refuse to let my daughter donate her eye. Since you won't let Darius donate his, then Cole can go blind."At that moment, Ezra stepped forward. He swept a contemptuous glance at Darius and said, "Rachel is still a pup. The law clearly states that minors are prohibited from organ transplants, even with parental consent."Darius, surely you haven't grown so accustomed to wielding power in this pack that you think you, an Alpha, are above the law?"Ezra pulled Rachel and me close, shielding us. "Selena is right. You can't decide to transplant Rachel's eye. However, you can choose to transplant your own. What's the matter? It's easy to be generous with another's things, but it's

  • The Alpha's Regret: Mate and Pup Gone   Chapter 5

    Seeing that I was about to leave with Rachel, Darius grew anxious.He stepped forward in one swift motion, blocking our exit. He raised his hand to stop us. "You can't leave. Cole is waiting for a healthy eye transplant. If Rachel doesn't give him her eyes—"Ezra cast a cold, authoritative glance his way and asked quietly, "If Rachel doesn't give him her eye, will that brat go blind?"However, if you actually take her eye, Rachel will be the one who goes blind."Although Darius couldn't fathom how Ezra had survived, he knew instinctively that this was someone he shouldn't mess with.Thus, he tried to guilt-trip me, shifting the pressure onto me. "Selena, you've always been so understanding. You're the Luna. You wouldn't be so selfish as to only think of yourself, would you?"As I stared at the Alpha before me, waves of bitter irony washed through me, even though my heart had long turned to ashes.I met his eyes and suddenly broke into hysterical laughter. My laughter carried all
