The Alpha's Regret Chapter 30
NathanIt feels like it’s been days since Kim trapped us in this room together when I know it's been mere hours. My poor sweet mate lies curled up on the floor, her back to both Kim, with one hand pressed between her squeezed thighs to hold back the aching need. Her entire body is rigid with the effort of fighting her urges. I know she doesn’t want to give in with Kim watching, but she must be in agony. Her cheeks and chest are flushed and rivulets of sweat run down her chest. “At least let her sit in the cold shower, Kim. Your issue is with me.”I spit the words out, unable to hide my fury at the torture she’s inflicting on Maya. Maya has done nothing to her. She has me. If she’s trying to prove something to Toby, surely I’m a better scalp than Maya. Kim ignores me, tapping away on her phone again from her position in the armchair in the corner. For the life of me, I can't work out what she's waiting for and I'm getting more and more concerned with each minute that passes.“If you h
The Alpha's Regret Chapter 31
MayaMy remaining clothing chaffs against my overly sensitive skin, and the pressure building inside my head is agony. I want to strip it all off this very second, but I’m clinging to enough control to resist. Barely.My wolf whines in my head, desperate for her mate. Our connection isn’t fully formed but there’s a bond there, like a shadow of what will exist once we’re mated and marked. If we’re ever mated and marked.Because as much as I want my mate to be the one to satisfy my needs, my wolf will accept another male to put us out of our misery. The pain is unbearable. It’s not what I want, but it’s what I need. Heat licks at my nerve endings and every inch of me is on fire. The dull ache that started low in my belly has turned into an agonizing pain so intense that I’m struggling to stay on my feet. I sway and squeeze my eyes shut, fighting off the wave of dizziness that washes over me.Since the moment Ethan stepped into the room, Nathan has been emitting a continuous, low growl o
The Alpha's Regret Chapter 32
NathanI deserve a fucking medal for leaving my unclaimed mate in a hotel room during her heat. There should be a prize for my selfless deeds. I have no idea how I manage to walk out that door while she has her hands between her legs and is making those breathy little moans. When I hear my name tumble from her lips, I almost turn back. While I appreciate there are some other things that need my attention, my brain is barely functioning. All I can think about is how I need to get back to her quickly, mark her and claim her, and plant myself deep inside her for the rest of her heat. Apart from my own needs, she's in pain and it's killing me to leave her suffering, but I know that once we give in, we won't surface for days. And so, I need to deal with all this other shit right now so I can get everyone out of here.“Ethan, are you going to live?” I ask brusquely as I charge into the now spare bedroom because Maya won’t be leaving mine ever again.Ethan grunts, standing just inside the do
The Alpha's Regret Chapter 33
Maya“She’s not dead,” I say, leaning against the doorframe and concentrating hard on identifying Kim’s almost non-existent heartbeat and breaths. They’ve slowed down dramatically, but they’re there.Nathan is at my side immediately, lowering me into a chair carefully. Even just his touch seems to cool the fire burning within me. My skin is slick with sweat now and I feel like scratching the skin off my body. I need relief and there’s only one person I want to give it to me. My own fingers have been able to take the edge off, but my heat continues to rise.“How?” Nathan squats beside Kim and pushes her hair back to take her pulse. My claws dig into the wooden chair leaving deep gouges. Snarling, I push to my feet and drag him away from her. In this state, I can’t stand to see him touching another woman. Especially one he has touched intimately before.“Who can you think of that might have found a way to force hibernation?”“Fucking bears,” Nathan mutters, running his hands down my arm
The Alpha's Regret Chapter 34
NathanMaya’s eyes widen in surprise, and she looks at me, confusion written all over her pretty face. She’s holding her breath, afraid to hope, but eventually, she takes in more air in through her nose and moans. Then I feel her joy through our strengthened bond and I jump up to my knees, grinning down at her as she giggles and rolls over onto her back.“You can scent me, can’t you?” I think I might be happier than she is about it. She smiles coyly at me and then nods, just once, but it’s enough. I pounce on top of her, wrapping her up in my arms and rolling us so she’s lying on top of me.“Nathan!” she shrieks, batting my arms and trying to get off me, but there’s no way I’m letting her go. Her struggles are having an unintended side-effect. I had planned on letting her rest. Her heat and the trauma of nearly being forced together with Ethan have to have taken their toll on her. While she has a brief reprieve from the most extreme symptoms, I wanted her to sleep and recharge her bat
The Alpha's Regret Chapter 35
Maya“She’s still not talking?”Nathan leans back on the large plush sofa, one arm stretched along the back and the other holding his phone to his ear as he speaks quietly into it, trying not to disturb me. His back is to me, and I take the opportunity to observe him. The waves of his chestnut brown hair are messy, and he’s dressed only in a rumpled t-shirt and boxers. A dark shadow of stubble dusts his strong jaw after days in bed with no time or inclination to shave. He looks delicious with his long legs stretched out in front of him, his tanned, strong, thighs solid and made for climbing on top of.The last three days have been a blur of sweaty bodies, fucking, and moaning, broken only by brief sex-induced comas and room service. Taking a deep breath, I’m overjoyed to detect his scent still covering me from head to toe. Not only because it’s incredible to have my sense back at all, but because I smell like sex and cum. I never thought I’d love that so much, but it’s like he’s marke
The Alpha's Regret Chapter 36
NathanLeah offered to arrange a family dinner when we arrived back in Grey Ridge to celebrate our mating, but it didn’t feel right. The pack is reeling from discovering Kim and Beth were the traitors that allowed Toby to go free and almost got Leah and the wolf guarding him killed. Beth was always in and out of trouble, and we knew she was hanging out with Leon Lennox’s crew, so she was always a suspect, but Kim was always so good. Model employee, nice to everyone, nothing that would hint she would fall for our prisoner and betray us all.My role in her unhappiness weighs heavily on me.I had always assumed that because Kim said nothing, she was happy with us just being friends with occasional benefits. It’s made me rethink my harmless bachelor lifestyle and wonder about the careless way I conducted myself previously. I have some apologies to make once the dust settles.Everyone’s thoughts are on Carla now. Did she run away because she thought she was going to get the blame for her s
The Alpha's Regret Chapter 37
MayaNathan’s been gone for a week on business in the hope he won’t have to travel again for a month. To keep myself distracted, I’ve thrown myself into getting up to speed on the pack businesses. Unofficially, I’ve stepped into Kim’s role, which feels weird and right at the same time. Hayley’s friend Sam, who she used to work with before but is now mated to a local shifter, is going to come and give a dig out too. With Leah dipping in and out where she can and Rex filling in for some of Cooper’s alpha duties, it’s manageable in the short term.Just about.The whispers and gossip about what Kim may or may not have been up to have died down. People are no longer expecting another attack and for the first time since I arrived, the atmosphere feels lighter and the mood better. For everyone, that is except me. I’ve never felt anxiety like it and I know now that we’ll never spend so long apart again. Rex had warned Nathan when he suggested that an entire week was too long to be away when y
