A Night of Regrets

Author: Ada
(Freya's POV)

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, absently combing through my hair. The strands fell over my shoulders, but my mind wasn’t focused on my appearance. My gaze was fixed on the light curve of my still-flat stomach. My hand unconsciously rested there, protective over the life growing inside me.

Bella stirred within me, restless. She reflected everything I felt — the pain, the anger, the confusion. My wolf was so used to keeping calm and strong for the pack, but this moment was testing her composure.

I set the brush down, but the tension in my body refused to leave. It had been a long day. The argument with Aaron, Caroline’s visit, the document she tried to bribe me with — it all tore at me, refusing to loosen its grip.

“You did the right thing,” I muttered softly, my voice only audible to Bella. My wolf whimpered in agreement, though she remained uneasy.

With a deep breath, I turned away from the mirror. Sleep might help clear my head. I tugged the covers back fro

  • The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha   A Surprising Encounter and a Wager

    (Freya's POV)I stepped out of the Northern Ridge Pack headquarters, frustration still simmering inside me. My conversation with Caroline had left me with more questions than answers, and Aaron's sudden refusal to sever our mate bond made absolutely no sense.My phone buzzed in my purse. I pulled it out, surprised to see Marcus Cross's name on the screen."Hello, Marcus," I answered, trying to keep my voice neutral despite my turbulent emotions."Hello, Little Snow," his warm voice replied. "I see you're at the pack headquarters. Just leaving?"I froze mid-step, glancing around the parking lot. "How did you know I'm here?"A soft chuckle came through the phone. "Look to your right, near the oak tree."Following his directions, I spotted a familiar black SUV parked a short distance away. Marcus stood beside it, phone in hand, waving at me.I ended the call and walked toward him, my wolf Bella curious but cautious within me. "This is unexpected," I said as I approached. "Why are

  • The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha   Confrontation Between Rivals

    (Third-person's POV)The tension in Aaron's Alpha office was palpable as the two she-wolves faced each other. Caroline stood with her chin raised slightly, her posture radiating confidence despite the bandage still visible on her forehead. Freya remained seated on the leather couch, her violet eyes calm and observant."If I remember correctly, you two were supposed to sever your mate bond after Elder Katherine's surgery, weren't you?" Caroline asked, her voice dripping with contempt. Her lips curved into a mocking smile as she continued, "It's been so long since Elder Katherine's surgery, why aren't you severed yet?"She paced a few steps closer, her designer heels clicking against the hardwood floor. "Freya, could it be that you're coveting the position of Luna of the Northern Ridge Pack and want to break our agreement by not severing the mate bond?"Unable to find Aaron, Caroline had clearly decided to taunt Freya instead. If Caroline hadn't helped her family keep their ancestral

  • The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha   Refusal to Sever the Mate Bond

    (Freya's POV)I paced back and forth in Aaron's Alpha office, my heels clicking against the hardwood floor. The sunlight streamed through the large windows, illuminating the space that carried his scent everywhere."I know you're avoiding me, Aaron," I said firmly into the phone. "We had an agreement."His silence on the other end only fueled my frustration."We agreed to sever our mate bond after your grandmother's surgery," I continued, trying to keep my voice steady. "Then you changed it to after her recovery. She's better now, so what's your excuse this time?"I heard him exhale sharply through the phone."I'm busy with pack business, Freya. This isn't the right time."I stopped pacing and gripped the phone tighter. "Not the right time? When will it be the right time? Next week? Next month? Next year?"My wolf Bella stirred inside me, sensing my rising emotions. I placed a protective hand over my abdomen where our unborn cub grew, hidden from Aaron's knowledge."I don't un

  • The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha   Desperate Measures

    (Caroline's POV)Father's expression grew increasingly grave as we continued our conversation in his private den. The firelight cast deep shadows across his face, making him look older and more concerned than I'd seen him in years."This won't work, Caroline," he said, leaning forward in his leather chair. "From what you're telling me, I'm deeply worried about your situation with Aaron."I could see the calculation behind his eyes. As Alpha of the Redwood Pack, my father rarely showed vulnerability, but now his concern was evident."What do you mean it won't work?" I asked defensively.He sighed heavily. "I had assumed you and Aaron were already a sure thing—that you were just waiting for him to sever his mate bond with Freya. But now you tell me you haven't even established a physical connection?"His words stung because they highlighted my own fears."If Aaron truly desired you," Father continued, "how could he have spent years in your company without making any advances towar

  • The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha   The Desperate Struggle for Affection

    (Freya's POV)After saying goodbye to Grace Hunter, I headed directly to the wolf medical facility. My mind was still replaying our conversation, particularly my declaration about keeping my cub and severing the mate bond with Aaron. Saying those words aloud had solidified my resolve.The medical facility corridors were quiet as I made my way to Elder Katherine's room. I paused outside her door, adjusting my cardigan and taking a deep breath before entering with a warm smile."Look who's here," Sarah Steel announced, turning from her position beside the bed. "We were just talking about you, Freya."Elder Katherine's eyes brightened when she saw me. Despite her recent surgery, the elderly she-wolf looked remarkably improved, her complexion rosier than before."My dear," Elder Katherine extended a slightly trembling hand toward me. "Come sit by me."I moved to her side, gently taking her hand in mine. "How are you feeling today, Elder Katherine?""Much better," she replied, pattin

  • The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha   Decisions and Revelations

    (Freya's POV)I stared at Grace Hunter, completely caught off guard by her direct question about my pregnancy. Her eyes held a mixture of challenge and vulnerability as she awaited my answer. The café suddenly felt too warm, too confined."How did you..." I began, then stopped myself. Of course she knew. She'd been at that same specialty clinic with her mother.Grace leaned forward, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Luna Snow, I may not have known you before, but I've heard rumors. The Alpha in your life has others besides you. Can you even manage your own affairs?"The words hit me like a physical blow. My wolf Bella growled defensively within me, protective of both our dignity and our unborn cub."You're suggesting I have no right to advise you because my own mate bond is problematic," I stated flatly, meeting her gaze.Grace's expression shifted instantly, the boldness fading as quickly as it had appeared. Her shoulders slumped, and regret flashed across her face."I'm sorry,

  • The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha   A Confrontation of Truths

    (Grace's POV)Mother's grip on my arm tightened, her manicured nails digging into my skin. I winced but didn't pull away. Her eyes narrowed dangerously."Not going to see him?" she hissed, disbelief evident in her tone. "Do you think I was born yesterday, Grace? The last time you said that, I found you in that Delta's apartment!"I felt heat rising to my cheeks at the memory. Mother had tracked my scent across half the pack territory, bursting into Caleb's small apartment while we were together. The humiliation of that day still burned fresh in my mind."Mom, please," I pleaded, conscious of other wolves passing by us at the medical facility entrance. "It's not like that this time."She released my arm but kept her penetrating gaze fixed on me. "Then what exactly is it like? Where are you going in such a rush?"I hesitated. Telling her I was meeting Luna Snow would only raise more questions—questions I wasn't prepared to answer. But lying again would only deepen her distrust."I

  • The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha   Confrontations and Choices

    (Aaron's POV)Mother's accusatory tone rang through the phone, making me wince. I could almost see her expression—eyebrows raised, lips pursed in that way that always made me confess as a young wolf pup."I don't know what you're talking about," I replied, keeping my voice even.I nearly blurted out that Freya and I were planning to sever our mate bond, but caught myself just in time. Mother had always been skilled at extracting information from me. When I was younger, she'd catch me off guard with rapid questions until I revealed whatever mischief I'd been involved in."Aaron Steel," she said, emphasizing my surname the way she always did when displeased. "I've known you since before you could shift. Don't think you can hide things from me."I drummed my fingers against the polished surface of my desk. Though she might still be the same perceptive mother, I was no longer the same easily manipulated pup."Look, Freya and I have had some minor conflicts recently," I said carefully

  • The Pregnant Luna Rejected Her Alpha   Secrets and Maternal Bonds

    (Margaret's POV)I kept my pleasant smile firmly in place while inwardly seething at the sight of Freya Snow. If I hadn't encountered her at that small wolf medical facility weeks ago, I wouldn't be so cautious now. But that chance meeting had given me dangerous knowledge—knowledge I couldn't freely use without exposing my own family's vulnerabilities.My eyes narrowed as I assessed the Northern Ridge Pack's Luna. She looked healthier today, her cheeks carrying more color than when I'd spotted her at that specialized fertility clinic. Was she still pregnant with the Steel heir, or had she gone through with the termination?The Hunter family name carries significant weight in our pack. For generations, we've maintained our prestige through careful alliances and strategic matings. My daughter Grace deserved the most advantageous match possible—and who better than Aaron Steel, the Alpha King himself?"Margaret?" Sarah's voice broke through my thoughts.
