Chapter 9

Author: Maizie
Regulus left in the end. He didn't pester her anymore. Those few calm, almost cruel words from Leah drained every ounce of strength and obsession from his body.

Supporting his battered frame, he left the small cabin slowly and miserably. Leah stood where she was, completely unmoved.

  • The "Widow" Ran with Her Pup   Chapter 9

    Regulus left in the end. He didn't pester her anymore. Those few calm, almost cruel words from Leah drained every ounce of strength and obsession from his body.Supporting his battered frame, he left the small cabin slowly and miserably. Leah stood where she was, completely unmoved.Niall clutched at the corner of her clothes and looked up at her, his eyes clear and full of trust. "Mommy, he won't come back anymore, right?"Leah crouched down and gently stroked Niall's head. A soft light finally rippled through her eyes. It was the relief of truly laying down every burden."No. He won't."From that moment on, the name Regulus no longer existed in their world.When Oliver arrived with his medical bag, this was the peaceful scene that greeted him. He didn't ask about what just happened. He simply handed over the cloth bundle in his hands, his tone warm."I made some beef stew today. It'll help Niall build up his strength."Leah didn't refuse. She accepted it calmly and thanked hi

    Regulus returned to the pack.The moment he stepped through the gate, Alice rushed up to meet him, her face painted with deliberate tenderness. She reached out to take his arm."Alpha, you're finally back. I missed you so much..."Before her fingers even touched his sleeve, Regulus swung his arm away sharply. The force sent Alice stumbling backward several steps before she fell hard to the ground.Alice stared in shock, her eyes instantly reddening. "Alpha! What's wrong? What did I do?"Regulus looked down at her, his gaze utterly devoid of warmth. Alice had taken a position that didn't belong to her, stolen everything that should have been Leah's and the pup's.Regulus' voice was cold as ice. "You did nothing wrong. The mistake is you being here at all. You shouldn't have a mark that was never meant for you."Alice's face went pale, her voice trembling. "What do you mean?""Exactly what I said."Without a moment's hesitation, Regulus turned and walked straight toward the alta

    Regulus didn't leave.He found a place to stay in town and watched near Leah's cabin every day. He couldn't bring himself to use force again, yet he couldn't accept being completely shut out either. All he could do was wait.That afternoon, Regulus stood in the shade of a distant tree as usual, his gaze locked on the cabin's gate. The next second, his body went rigid.An unfamiliar male wolf carrying a medical bag was knocking gently at the gate. He looked clean and composed, dressed in the plain robes of a town healer. His features were calm and gentle.The door opened. Leah stepped out, and when she saw Oliver Greene, a faint smile actually appeared on her face.It was barely there, but it was enough to make Regulus' eyes sting."Sorry to trouble you again. He slept more soundly last night." Leah's tone was lighter than usual."It's no trouble. He's still weak. I like to check on him regularly."Oliver's voice was low and warm. As he raised his hand, he naturally brushed away

    Regulus ignored the elders' protests and left the pack with his guards that same night. The car sped along the road, wind whipping through the windows, but it couldn't dispel the restlessness inside him.He found himself recalling overlooked details. How calm she'd been when moving to the west wing. Her silence in the face of Alice's mockery. The lifeless, empty look in her eyes every time they met his.Had she figured something out? Was that why she'd prepared to leave so early, abandoning any hope in him?When the car stopped at the town entrance, the sky was already beginning to lighten. Regulus had little trouble finding where Leah settled. It was a small, neat cabin on the edge of town with the pup's small clothes hanging outside to dry.He stood at a distance, something tightening inexplicably in his chest.He'd imagined countless scenarios of what she'd look like after leaving. She was probably disheveled, wronged, helpless, and struggling to get by with the pup. He even th

    Third Person Point-of-ViewAs fireworks lit up half the sky, Regulus stood at the highest point of the altar, receiving the reverence of the entire pack.Alice clung to his arm, smiling radiantly. This should have been the pinnacle of his life. Yet inexplicably, something felt hollow inside him.Without thinking, he glanced toward the west wing of the estate.Alice noticed and leaned closer, asking softly, "Alpha, what's wrong?"He looked away, his tone flat. "Nothing."After the ceremony, he finished making pleasantries with the pack elders and paused in the corridor. He couldn't explain why, but Leah's face suddenly flashed through his mind.Leah had always been docile and silent, never causing him the slightest trouble. He never needed to worry about her, and he never thought she'd stir up any waves. But today, that inexplicable emptiness gnawed at him, leaving him irritable.He turned toward the west wing. Alice moved to follow, but he stopped her. "Go back to your room. I

    On the day of the marking ceremony, I woke before dawn.Outside, the estate gradually came to life with the sound of furniture being moved and maids hurrying past. All of it was for Regulus and Alice.I pulled the pup closer into my arms, and the tension in my chest finally eased just a fraction. Anytime now.Two maids spoke in hushed voices outside my door. I hadn't meant to eavesdrop, but their words pierced through like needles."The Alpha redirected all the supplies meant for Leah's pup to Alice. He said from now on, the pack's best resources go only to the future Luna's pups.""But what about Leah's pup? He's always been sickly.""The Alpha said, 'He's just a dead wolf's pup. He's not worth the resources'."My fingers curled sharply, digging into my own arm to stay calm. There was no sadness, only a numbing rage that rushed straight to my head.He knew this was his son and that the pup was frail. And yet with one careless order, he cut off the pup's lifeline.The pup seem
