All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Forsaken Luna: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Raven's POVThe morning was soft and quiet, and there was this precious and fragile peace in the air. I was rocking my son in the chair by the window, his tiny body a warm, sleeping weight against my chest.Aurora was at my feet, playing with a wooden wolf figurine, but her attention kept drifting to the baby.“Can I hold him, Mama?” she asked for what must have been the tenth time that morning.“Not yet, my love,” I said softly, stroking her hair. “He’s still too little. But you can help me by being his big, strong protector.”She puffed out her small chest, a serious look on her face. “I’ll protect him from all the monsters.”My heart ached with a love so fierce it was almost painful. In this room, with my children, the world outside with its dangers and deceptions felt a million miles away.The door opened and a young maid slipped in, her hands clasped nervously. “My lady,” she said, her voice a hushed whisper. “I thought you should know… the healer says Aella is awake.”The air lef

Rune's POVThe great hall of the Oxen stronghold was thick with tension and the scent of fear. I could almost smell it on everyone present there.Torchlight flickered across the faces of my warriors, a sea of hardened men and women ready for blood. This was what I was born for—not politics, not grief, but the raw, uncomplicated clarity of war.“The Eastern Pack,” I roared, my voice echoing off the stone walls, “has insulted our honor, stolen what is ours, and now plots our downfall from within! They think us weakened by grief! They think the Wolf of Oxen has lost his teeth!” I slammed a fist against my chest. “We will show them they are wrong! We will burn their homes to the ground and salt their fields! We will leave nothing but ashes and the memory of our wrath!”A thunderous roar of approval answered me, a wave of sound that fed the fire in my soul. This was the only language that made sense anymore.But as the cheer died down, a voice, old and tremulous, cut through the din. “Alpha

AELLA’S POV"May I speak freely, sir?”Logan lowered his fingers from where they'd rested on his jaw, a slight pinch in his brows as she regarded me quietly. Then he nodded.“Of course.”“You look like someone smeared coal under your eyes sir, you need to sleep…preferably for a full week, straight.”He scoffed, then shook his head as he slowly stood up and made his way towards one of the book shelfs in the library.“You know,” he paused , picking up a book and turning to face me, an incredulous look his face.“I didn’t know…about Raven being pregnant. I did have my suspicions because of the dresses she wore and other things, but she didn’t tell me. Not even when I asked.”I arched a brow, leaning against the desk in his office. “You mean to tell me you didn't trust your own judgement when it came to something so obvious? I mean, she was practically nudging you with her bump.”Logan's mouth twitched as amusement flashed across his face.“She hid it well.”“She’s a woman, not a magician,”

LOGAN’S POV The war drums hadn’t sounded yet, but I could already feel them, steady, invisible, beating through the bones of Blood Nest. After what happened that with Aella, I knew it wouldn't be long before Rune sought us out.The fortress had never been this silent. Not even during the last uprising. The halls carried a tension that thickened the air, and awakened the darkness. There was still laughter though, I just wished I could join in without feeling the cold grips of worry at the edges of my consciousness everytime.I stood on the balcony overlooking the eastern ridge, scanning the dark tree line. Patrol torches flickered far below as reinforcements from MoonFyre arrived, courtesy of Raven's aunt.They’d heard the rumors. All of them. I could tell Seraphine was worried too, it was right there between the lines in the letter she sent to me. But at least she didn't demand that I send Raven off to her.Behind me, the door creaked open.“Alpha.”It was one of the generals, Red

LILA’S POV The council chamber was meant for secrets.But secrets had a way of slipping through cracks, and I had always had enough patience for an army.I stood just beyond the door, pressed against the stone wall, taking deep silent breaths to keep my heartbeat steady. The low growl of male voices carried through the narrow gap.Rune’s council of elders was in full revolt, panicking and ripping into him, to my greatest pleasure of course.“You would start a war,” one of them thundered, “over a woman who abandoned you?”“She didn’t abandon me,” Rune’s voice cut back, low and dangerous.“Then where is she?” another elder demanded. “You claim she lives, but no one has seen proof! You will lead Oxen into ruin chasing ghosts!”“She lives! I've seen her!”“Then where is she?!” More than one voice asked in unison.I smiled faintly in the shadows. This was like music to my ears.Tilting my head, I listened closer as Rune rose from his sea, the scrape of his chair loud enough to echo throug
