The Alpha's Regret; Too Late To Claim Me CHAPTER 91
Author's POVThe next morning came heavy with silence. The rain had stopped, but the house still felt cold not from weather, but from the tension that had settled in its walls. Fred had been locked in one of the family’s secured quarters, a small, quiet place at the far end of the estate. The old room had no windows, only a single lamp that flickered weakly against the walls.Fred sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the closed door. He wasn’t angry at least, not anymore. Mostly, he was tired. He had shouted, pleaded, and reasoned with Maurice until his voice cracked, but none of it mattered. His brother’s mind was made up.“Maurice has lost himself,” he murmured to the empty room. “And I’m paying the price.”He didn’t even know how long it had been hours or maybe a full day. There was no clock, no sunlight. Just silence and the echo of his own thoughts.**Meanwhile, in another part of the mansion, Maurice stood by the window in his study, watching the rain drip from the eaves. Fro
The Alpha's Regret; Too Late To Claim Me CHAPTER 90
Author’s POVThe rain came down hard that night, beating against the windows like it was trying to warn someone. The thunder rolled in the distance, and flashes of lightning lit up the sky. Inside Maurice’s mansion, the lights were dim, the air thick with tension.Maurice sat alone in his study, a glass of whiskey untouched beside him. He wasn’t drinking tonight yet. His thoughts were enough to make him dizzy. Fred’s face kept flashing in his mind, mixed with Veldana’s. Each time he pictured them together, his chest tightened until he could barely breathe.For weeks, Gary’s words had haunted him.“Fred’s been around Veldana’s circle a lot.”The more he thought about it, the more it made sense at least in his mind. Fred had been distant lately. Secretive. He’d started going out late and coming back without saying where he’d been. And whenever Maurice asked, his brother would only smile and say, “Don’t worry about it.”But tonight, Maurice was done wondering. He wanted the truth.When F
The Alpha's Regret; Too Late To Claim Me CHAPTER 89
Author’s POVMaurice had always been a man who liked control over his work, his home, his thoughts. But lately, control was slipping through his fingers like sand. Ever since he saw Leila, ever since her face began haunting him, he had become a man split in two.He spent most of his days locked in his study, avoiding everyone, even Hailey.Hailey noticed it immediately. The change in him was like watching sunlight fade behind clouds. He no longer smiled when she spoke, barely responded when she called. At first, she thought it was work stress. Then she blamed it on his old memories, the ones he never talked about.But deep down, she knew it was because of her.Veldana.The name alone carried a shadow that never seemed to leave their lives.Maurice tried to stay busy, but his mind wouldn’t stop spinning. Every quiet moment became a battlefield. Every night, his thoughts dragged him back to the same question: Was Leila his childAnd worse, had Veldana been with Eldric all along?The ima
The Alpha's Regret; Too Late To Claim Me CHAPTER 88
Days had passed, but Maurice still couldn’t shake off the image of the little girl at the hospital, Leila. The way she smiled, the sound of her laughter, and those bright, curious eyes. There was something about her that refused to leave his mind.He had cleared her hospital bill without even thinking twice. It wasn’t like him to care so deeply about someone else’s child, yet something in him had pushed him to do it. Now, as he sat in his office, papers scattered across his desk, he found himself lost in thought again.Who was she really?At first, he told himself he only helped because he felt pity, nothing more. But now, a strange thought had begun to creep into his mind. A thought that wouldn’t let him rest.Could Leila be his?The idea hit him like a storm. His chest tightened, and he ran his fingers through his hair, trying to shake it off. No, that was impossible. It couldn’t be. But then again… what if it was?He remembered her face again, the shape of her nose, the curve of he

Veldena’s POVThe studio lights felt too bright.Veldena blinked against the glare, wishing her heart would stop racing. She’d been on stage before, she’d sung to crowds, and faced cameras but never like this. This wasn’t what she was used to. Because this time, she wasn’t performing. She was being watched, questioned, and judged.Freya had booked the interview, insisting it would be good for her. “It’s time people saw you again,” she had said, smiling that confident smile of hers. “Your album is strong, Vel. Let them hear your truth before the gossip gets too loud.”So, here she was. Sitting on a plush blue couch, facing a host whose smile was too polished to be kind. Behind the cameras, crew members hurried about, adjusting lights, checking microphones, and giving signals she didn’t understand.“Relax,” one of them said softly, clipping the mic onto her dress. “You’ll do great.”Veldena smiled weakly. “Thanks.”Inside, she wasn’t sure. Her palms were damp. Her throat felt tight. She
The Alpha's Regret; Too Late To Claim Me CHAPTER 86
Author’s POVMaurice didn’t sleep that night.He lay in bed with his eyes open, staring at the clear ceiling, listening to the sound of the cars faint through the window. Every time he closed his eyes, her face appeared, the curve of her smile, the way she used to look at him as if she saw more than his heart ever allowed him to show.Veldena.It had been years, and still, her name echoed inside him like a whisper he couldn’t silence.He turned on his side, restless. The image of her at that restaurant refused to fade. She had a look on her face… It was peaceful. She was laughing, genuinely laughing, with Eldric across the table, her eyes bright, her hair falling softly over her shoulder. It wasn’t the stiff, camera-ready smile he remembered. It was something real.And it bothered him.He didn’t even know why and deep down he knew he wasn’t supposed to care.Maurice had told himself a thousand times that she was part of the past, a closed chapter, a mistake that had nearly destroyed h
