All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Forsaken Luna: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

RUNEThe chamber felt smaller every time I sat in it.Smoke curled around the ceiling beams, thick and bitter, making the heaviness in my chest even heavier. The men's voices blurred together as I half-tuned them out.I only half-listened, my mind wandering everywhere else but what they were saying.“...Blood Nest is fortifying its borders currently, I don't understand why you still want to do this, sir.” Garron said, his voice thick with disapproval. “You're leading the men into a possible death.” “That is true, Rune,” Egan supported calmly. “Their patrols have doubled since the last moon. I don't support your decision to invade them but if we wait any longer, Rune, we risk losing our element of…”“Patience is not weakness,” I cut in, my tone calm but clipped.“We strike when the threat is clear, not when pride itches for blood. Blood Nest obviously anticipates and expects an attack from us now and that is why we wait. We shall lunge when they least expect it.”Egan leaned forward,

RAVEN"Can I sleep in your bed tonight, mama?”I nodded, “yes, you ca…”“I changed my mind,” my young daughter cut in, her tiny voice firm. “I don't want to sleep in your bed.”I took a deep breath as I offered up a prayer for more patience.This was our usual routine everyday from whenever the sun began to set. But I wouldn't have it any other way.She and her brother were my joy.By the time the moon climbed over Blood Nest, I was half asleep on my feet, swaying beside Aurora’s bed as she recited her bedtime story to her stuffed fox for the fifth time, after insisting I remain her audience. I didn't want to leave her alone with the baby as she was still awake, or she just might wake him up to read him the story.“Do you think Logan will like this story, mama?” She suddenly asked.I blinked, his name knocking out the unconsciousness that'd been creeping over me.“I don't know, baby. Why don't you sleep now, and we'll ask him tomorrow?”Aurora yawned in response, then nodded as she pl

LILAThe night was as still as cool glass when I slipped into his chambers.A single candle flickered on the desk by the bed, its light throwing restless shadows across his face where he slept.He looked almost peaceful like that. Almost like the man I once needed.Not anymore though, thankfully. All I felt towards Rune was anger and irritation.My fingers tightened around the small vial in my hand as I gently flicked the top.The potion glimmered faintly, blue and viscous, meant to blur the mind and twist the heart into madness.Rune's sudden decision to sleep earlier and eat better was only slowing down my plans, so therefore I had to take matters into my own hands…“like I always had to,” I whispered quietly, rolling my eyes.Lately he'd been fighting harder against the paranoia, perhaps to maintain a stronger image in the face of his people like the alpha he was.I hated that.The potion was the simplest way to have him destroy himself, to make the world see what I already knew,

RAVEN'S POV The day began softly. Sunlight poured through the tall windows, touching the floorboards like gold-dust specks.Aurora sat cross-legged beside the crib, humming a confusing song while trying to feed a wooden spoon to her baby brother who gurgled happily, fists batting the air as if cheering her on.It was one of those gentle mornings that gave me unbridled hope for the future, and made me wonder why I'd ever worried about anything before.I ran a hand over the baby's back as I lifted him into my arms, the curve of his shoulder so small against my palm. “Logan was right, you need a name,” I murmured. “I can’t keep calling you ‘little wolf.’”Aurora looked up at me, eyes bright as spring water. “Can I name him?”I laughed. “You already named him Rabbit, I think it's my turn now.”She pouted dramatically, crossing her arms. “But I like Rabbit.”“I like it too,” I replied, leaning down to press a kiss to her hair.She grinned, satisfied, andturned her attention to her toy.B

LOGANThe letter sat on my desk like a heavy curse, Rune’s signet ontop of it.He’d accepted my invitation to meet at the valley of the lost. And for some reason, I felt weird about it instead of relieved.Perhaps because I hadn't thought he'd agree, I was surprised he even responded to my letter.He'd told me not to bring any men, since he too was coming alone. A completely unnecessary request as I was already planning on going alone anyways.But amidst my turmoil, one stood out taller amongst the others.I hadn’t told Raven about any of this.Today, each time she asked what was wrong whenever I kept looking at her as I battled the urge to tell her not, I'd respond with a smile and say “nothing, don't worry.”Redmond's knock came once, then he pushed the door open and stepped inside with a blank expression.“I went looking for you at the drawing room,” he began, moving closer to the desk. “You still owe me a game of chess.”“Sit down, Red,” I replied. “I have other things on my mind.
