บททั้งหมดของ Alpha's Regret: Howling For A Second Chance: บทที่ 241 - บทที่ 250

Chloe’s POVThe silence in the house was unbearable, and I could feel the weight of everything pressing down on me. It had been a few days since I’d decided to take action against Jax and Mendy, but I hadn’t received any information from my contact. Nothing. The nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach grew every minute that passed without a word. The longer I waited, the more uncertain I became.I sat in the study, staring at the space in front of me, and the quiet hum of the house around me. The kids were at school, and Liam was busy with meetings, he had enough to deal with without me adding to it. I didn’t want to bother him. I knew he was working hard to protect us, but it didn’t feel like enough. Not with Mendy and Jax scheming behind our backs.I tried to focus on other things, even though my mind kept drifting back to the problem at hand. I had so many plans, so many things to do once Mendy was no longer a threat. But it felt like a luxury to even think about those plans when

Chloe’s POV My fingers clenched around the steering wheel as I glared at the road ahead, barely seeing anything but red. Every instinct in me screamed to drive straight to my father’s house and demand he tell me everything, why he’d kept Mendy hidden, what he’d been thinking. I decided to call him and immediately I dialed his number, my phone rang with another call, interrupting me.I stared at the number, inhaling loudly before picking up. “How’re you doing?” Lia’s voice sounded in my ear, she didn’t waste time with greetings, and I wasn’t surprised. My mouth opened, and I took a shaky breath, feeling the anger and frustration bubble over. “What’s happening? Why is your breath shaky?” Her voice held a hint of concern. “Lia, I’m so angry right now, I don’t even know what to do with myself.” I paused, pressing a hand against my forehead. “I feel like… like everything is falling apart.”“Oh! Just take a breath,” she soothed. “Why don’t you come over for a bit? Let’s talk about it

Liam’s POV I slammed my fist down on the wall, the noise echoing through the room as everyone went silent. “How could this happen?” I demanded, my eyes scanning the room, watching the guard in front of me fumble for words. He looked shaken, sweat beading on his brow, but he couldn’t meet my gaze.“Well?” I pressed, feeling my patience slipping. “How was something so important left unprotected?”He swallowed, shifting uncomfortably. “Alpha, I… I don’t have an explanation,” he muttered. “We weren’t prepared for this kind of attack. They were in and out before we knew what was happening.”“Not prepared?” I snapped, letting my voice sharp. “Your only job is to be prepared. Those documents were vital, and you let them slip right out from under you.”I walked out of the room, going to the office where the document had been rubbed, tons of guard lined the way in with their sword held tight beside them. “Is the iron with you held for fashion?” I asked annoyingly and they all shook in fear

Chloe’s POV The moment Liam told me he was stepping down, a surge of anger overtook me. “Ungrateful,” I snapped, pacing the room. “They don’t even realize how much you’ve done for them, how much you’ve sacrificed.”Liam’s face remained calm, his gaze steady as he watched me vent. “I think it’s part of the role. I knew it would be this way when I took it on. Let them think what they want. Once Jax is dealt with, they’ll be begging me to take the position back.”“Still…” I shook my head, feeling the frustration coil tighter in my chest. “This isn’t fair to you. After all the work you’ve put in….”“Chloe.” He came closer, taking my hands in his, grounding me with his presence. “It’ll be fine. I’m stepping down, yes, but it’s temporary. They won’t get rid of me so easily. Besides, I need to focus on our family now. And on keeping you safe.”There was a finality in his words, a resolve that settled over me. I knew he’d made up his mind. His hand reached up, brushing a stray strand of hair

Chloe’s POV I sat in silence, staring blankly at the walls of my living room as the words Lia and Bryan had thrown at me swirled in my mind. Their voices overlapped in a constant loop, each one tugging at the layers of fear I’d carefully wrapped around myself. “You’re stronger than this, Chloe. Stop hiding” But it wasn’t only their voices, my insecurities gnawing away at me, making me question how I’d turned into someone so bound by fear.When did I become this person? When did I allow Jax, Mendy, and everything they represented to steal my courage? To rob me of the joy of simply living?The faces of my children flashed through my mind, their innocent smiles dimmed by the confinement I’d forced upon them. They deserved better than a mother who cowered behind locked doors. My hands clenched into fists as I realized just how much I’d let fear dictate my life. That had to end, now.I pushed myself up from the couch and went upstairs. I found my twins playing with their toys, but they
