All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Forsaken Luna: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

RAVEN'S POVShadows swallowed the edges of the world as I stood in a forest where the trees whispered in voices that belonged to no living thing, their ancient roots twisting like serpents across the ground. A cold wind curled around my body, tugging at my hair and dress, whispering in a language I both knew and feared.And then I saw them, Aurora, her golden looks more pronounced. Beside her, Reed sat shrouded in darkness, small but emanating a force that felt ancient and terrifying. His little fists clenched the air, eyes burning like coal embers, with no white in them.“No,” I whispered brokenly as I stumbled towards them, struggling against the wind pushing me back.“He is the heir,” A smooth voice suddenly said, from no direction in particular. “The darkness to her light. The son of Nyx. The one who will tip the scales.”Fear coiled in my chest like a living thing. “You’re wrong,” I whispered, trying to force my way forward.but the ground beneath me was no longer solid. It shift

RAVEN'S POVThe day felt longer than normal, I could swear I'd been awake long enough for darkness to start creeping over the sky, but the sun was still in the middle of it, casting warm rays over everything.The rays bounced off the windows of the training hall, gilding the polished wood floor with streaks of gold.I stretched my arms above my head, feeling the satisfying ache of muscles that had remembered how to move. The rhythm of my breathing settled me into the day, even as the weight of my responsibilities pressed lightly against my mind.Aurora was already there, seated cross-legged near the far wall, carefully arranging wooden blocks in a pattern she insisted was “the perfect fortress.” Reed lay resting in his small cot nearby, gurgling softly as he tugged at a teething ring. The sight of them, like this, always made my chest tighten with fear and pride.Pride that they were strong, clever, and full of life; fear that the world outside our walls had eyes that might one day t

RAVEN'S POVThe half-moon hung low over Blood Nest, casting silver shadows across the compound. I had been restless since I jerked awake from another nightmare. Logan wasn’t there, even though we’d both fallen asleep together on my bed.Aurora was peacefully asleep in one room and Reed in his cradle near my bed, but still I couldn't go back to sleep.Something was wrong, I could feel it.Perhaps it was the fact that the night was too quiet, or it could be the faint, subtle vibration in the air that prickled my senses and made my wolf restless.Had Rune finally decided to strike?Upon the thought , I reached inwards, where our bond used to throb, only to find it extinguished, like a hearth after a cold bucket of water is thrown at it.While it gave me great joy that I could no longer feel him, it agitated me just a little bit because I could've sensed his mood through it and found out if we needed to start moving the people to the safe spots.I sighed, moving towards the flickering fl

LILAS POV Rune stood, and stepped around the desk, moving toward me with slow, terrifying precision. “You used me,” he said softly. Too softly. “You used my grief, my love for Raven, my loyalty to Oxen. You poisoned the elders against me. You plotted with Varek behind my back to kill my children. And you dared to send him after Raven too.”I tried to swallow, but my mouth had gone dry.“Rune, I…”His hand flashed up, gripping my jaw painfully tight.“You tried to take her from me,” he hissed. “You tried to steal my mate.”“She stole from me first! She stole you from me, ow!” I cried out as the grip on my jaw tightened.“She doesn't even want you anymore!” I spat. “She left you! Even after you found her, she doesn't want you!”His fingers shifted from my jaw to my throat so fast my vision swam.Audrey surged forward. “Rune, stop…”Rune didn’t even look at him. “One step closer, and I tear your tongue out and shove it down your throat you spineless imp.”Audrey froze, chest heaving.R

AELLA'S POV The castle felt different after the attack.Quieter, yes. But it wasn’t a peaceful quiet. I actually preferred the usual noise too.It was the kind of quiet that made the back of my neck prickle, like the walls themselves were holding their breath.Logan had called me into a side corridor early in the morning, away from the ears of most wolves and lingering servants. His expression was tight, barely leashed frustration simmering beneath the surface.“Aella,” he began, folding his arms. “You’re the least suspicious person in this pack. I need your eyes and ears for a very important task.”I didn’t know whether to feel flattered or offended. But then I decided that it was a compliment because the alpha wouldn't go out his way to insult me or anyone else either.“What exactly am I supposed to be looking for?” I asked carefully. “And where?”“Everywhere but specifically, amongst the healers,” Logan answered. “Look for anything strange, anything that can give away the identit
