Amira’s POV

The door creaked open, and I froze.

For days, it had only been Ms. Henss by my side, tending to me, whispering reassurances, trying to fill the gaping holes in my chest. But now, his presence filled the doorway.

Mr. Henss.

Tall, broad-shouldered, the kind of man whose silence carried weight. His wolfy eyes found me instantly, drinking me in, and for a second, I wanted to look away. But he didn’t blink, and I realized his stare wasn’t cold, it was… searching.

He walked closer, each step deliberate, heavy with a weight I could not name. The air between us thickened until I could barely breathe. My heart hammered against my ribs, terrified of what he would say, what he would see when he looked at me fully. He stopped at the edge of the bed where I sat propped up with pillows, my fingers twisting nervously in the thin blanket.

His gaze swept over me slowly my tangled hair, the bruises shadowing my jaw, the curve of my cheekbones. His eyes widened. His breath hitched, sharp and

  • The Alpha's Regret; The Omega's Revenge.   Chapter 26

    Amira’s POV.“She’s not a normal pup, that one,” Trudy was saying, adjusting her apron with unnecessary flair. “The chandelier fell right above the Alpha’s table! It’s bad luck, I tell you. She’s a bad luck.”The others murmured in agreement. I clenched the railing, trying not to explode, my nails digging into the polished oak.“Do your jobs,” I said sharply, stepping into the hall. Every head snapped up. Trudy flinched, but her mouth twisted in false humility.“Of course, Miss Henss,” she said, dipping her head mockingly. “Just… expressing concern. The staff were frightened, you know.”“Then maybe they should learn to mind their business instead of gossiping about a child.” My tone came out lower, colder than I intended. “If I hear another word about my daughter, Trudy, you will be expressing concern from outside these gates. Do you understand?”Her lips pressed tight, and the others quickly scattered.Behind me, Fiona approached quietly. She had learned how to move like silence itse

  • The Alpha's Regret; The Omega's Revenge.   Chapter 25

    Declan’s POVSleep didn’t come easy that night, the image of that little girl, Lunara, kept burning through my mind long after the lights at the Henss mansion went out. Her eyes. Spirits of the Moon, those eyes. They didn’t just shine, they sparked. Literally. I saw it with my own eyes, the moment her mother’s hand trembled and a sliver of light flew from her pupils straight into the chandelier, shattering it to the marble floor. Everyone blamed weak crystals or bad wiring, but I knew better.I had grown up hearing stories from my Grandma about wolves born under the Crystal Eclipse. Ancient, rare, and powerful. Wolves with abilities that could bend energy, light, even emotions. Wolves whose bloodlines were wiped out centuries ago… or so we thought.That child… No, that little wolf wasn’t ordinary, and neither was her mother.Mia Henss. The ginger-haired mystery woman. Every time I looked at her, I felt like I was staring into a ghost. The way she held her chin high when others whisper

    Declan’s POVThe Henss mansion was dripping with extravagance that night. Everyone was smiling too wide, laughing too loudly, pretending too hard. And me? I sat there, pretending right along with them, my glass of red wine trembling slightly in my hand.Because I knew one thing for sure, someone in this room wanted me to suffer.As I remembered the the encryted message I saw on the invitation card, "MURDERER”, the blood in my veins froze.And now, every pair of eyes in this hall was a damn suspect. Every smile looked forced, every whisper sounded like my name.I told myself I would use this dinner to watch m, to really watch everyone.Then she walked in.Mia Henss.The room seemed to shift the second she appeared at the top of the stairs walking behind her parents.Her hair caught the light first, that unmistakable shade of auburn orange, the color of autumn leaves set on fire. My heart skipped, for a tiny second, I couldn’t breathe, her beauty was suffocating me.Her gown clinging to

  • The Alpha's Regret; The Omega's Revenge.   Chapter 23.

    Amira's POV.The Welcome Back Dinner wasn’t just a party, it was a declaration to Montgomery Lane that the Henss family had returned, stronger and more dangerous than ever.Fiona was behind me, fastening the last button on my emerald velvet gown. The gown shimmered faintly, hugging my frame like a second skin. My reflection stared back from the mirror, flawless curls, red as fire, lips painted a calm rose, eyes lined with quiet defiance. But beneath all that polish was the ghost of a girl who had once been left to die.“You look breathtaking, Miss Mia,” Fiona whispered, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted the pearl necklace around my throat. “You will outshine every woman in that hall tonight.”I smiled faintly at her reflection. “Maybe that’s the problem,” I murmured. “Sometimes shining too bright draws the wrong kind of attention. And I think I have drawn a lot of negative attention lately.”Her eyes softened. “Then tonight, pretend you don’t care who’s watching.” She was g

    Amira’s POVLarry fucking Greyman. Of all men, of all wolves the Moon Goddess could have spun into my fate, it had to be him.Declan’s closest friend back in those cruel, blood-soaked school days. Loyal shadow of Brianna Lowell, always the eager dog at her heels, laughing at her jokes, helping her humiliate me. The boy who once dumped muddy water on me just because Brianna said it would be funny.And now here he stood, smiling like he had won the lottery.My stomach twisted violently. Suddenly, coming back to Montgomery Lane felt like the worst mistake I had ever made. My new face had not erased my old scars, it hadn’t burned away my past because here it was, hunting me all over again, grinning with perfectly white teeth and too much ambition in his eyes.But I behaved myself and smiled a fake smile. Wolves survive by playing the game, and I couldn’t afford to lose.Rufus clapped Larry on the back with his booming laugh. “Good. She’s here. My daughter, Mia Henss.” His gaze cut sharply

  • The Alpha's Regret; The Omega's Revenge.   Chapter 21

    Amira’s POVI didn’t sleep a wink that night.Every creak of the mansion felt like a whisper aimed at me. The curtains shifted with the breeze, but in the shadows I swore I saw shapes move. My heart wouldn’t stop racing, not after I found that note neatly tucked on my bed like some cursed gift.“I know who you are.”The words carved themselves into my chest. I had written something similar to Declan just to shake him, just to make him panic like I had once panicked. But I never imagined that the same thing would happen to me. It wasn’t just cruel, it was terrifying.By dawn, my eyes burned from staying awake. My thoughts bounced between the danger pressing on me from all sides. Not only was my biological mother under this roof, my fragile, trembling mother who had barely survived Rufus’s temper, but my secret was dangling like a thread ready to snap.
