Semua Bab Alpha's Regret: My Rejected Mate Is A Healer : Bab 1 - Bab 10

The dim lighting of the bar flickered, casting shadows over Alpha Derek Kingston of the Moonstone Pack as he downed another shot of whiskey. His tall, imposing frame was hunched over the bar, a scowl fixed on his face as he ignored the brunette who had been shamelessly trying to seduce him for the last half hour. Her hand slid up his arm, her voice dripping with desire, but Derek didn’t even glance her way. His mind was elsewhere, uninterested in the shallow advances of yet another desperate woman. “Get lost! ,” Derek said coldly, his voice a deep growl that sent shivers down her spine. He pushed her hand away roughly, eyes fixed on his drink. “Find someone else.” The woman pouted, but eventually took the hint, walking away with a huff. Derek exhaled sharply, running a hand through his dark, tousled hair. He wasn’t here for this—he was here to escape the relentless responsibilities of being Alpha, even if just for a few hours. The pressure weighed heavily on his broad shoulders, but

Ella slowly opened her eyes, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains and bathing the room in a golden glow. Her body ached all over, every muscle tingling with the memory of last night’s passionate encounter. She turned her head to glance at the man beside her—Alpha Derek. She had heard so much about him from her ex-fiancé, Kevin, and had briefly met him once at a pack event. Amidst the haze of alcohol, she’d still recognized him. The surprise of finding him to be her mate left her feeling a mix of elation and disbelief. “Thank you, Moon Goddess,” she whispered to herself, a smile creeping across her lips as she recalled the intensity of their connection. It felt unreal, as if she were living in a dream where everything had shifted overnight. Just then, her phone rang, jolting her back to reality. She groaned as she answered, her stepmother’s frantic voice bursting through the speaker. “Ella! Where are you? You need to get to the engagement hall—now!” Ella’s heart

Ella sat on the examination table in the clinic, her fingers nervously drumming against the cold metal. Her mind raced with thoughts, her heart beating faster than ever. She didn’t want to be here, yet she needed confirmation for what her body had been trying to tell her. The room felt suffocating as the doctor’s eyes flicked between the monitor and her face. The faint sound of the ultrasound machine beeped in the background. “Congratulations,” the doctor said, his voice cutting through her cloud of thoughts, “you’re having a baby.” Ella’s world seemed to stop at that moment. Her vision blurred as she stared at the screen, unable to process the words. Her fingers clenched the edge of the bed, her stomach twisting in knots. “A baby?” Her mind raced back to that night, the heat, the passion. Alpha Derek. “Oh no, this is not supposed to happen.” She whispered under her breath, her hand resting instinctively on her flat belly. Panic surged through her veins as flashes of that steamy nigh

Ella sat in her car at the parking lot outside her home, lost in thought as she stared at her reflection in the rearview mirror. Her wolf, Lila, stirred inside her. "Derek is still our mate," Lila whispered, her tone a mixture of hurt and hope. "He didn’t accept our rejection.” Ella closed her eyes, feeling the familiar stab of grief. Memories from the past came flooding back, and her voice trembled as she responded, "If Derek had accepted me as his Luna… our pup would still be alive." Her words were soaked with bitterness, the pain of her loss still fresh, even after all these years. Lila whimpered softly inside Ella's mind, sharing in the sorrow. "But he didn’t, Ella. Maybe there’s still a reason why we haven’t fully severed that bond.” Ella shook her head, refusing to listen to her wolf. "No, Lila. It's too late. There’s nothing left between us but ashes.” Back at the hospital, Alpha Derek paced the hallway, his mind in turmoil after his unexpected encounter with Ella. His assi

Derek stood stunned for a second as he watched her walk away. Derek, however, wasn’t about to let her go that easily. He followed her out, his voice rising as he called after her. "I mean it, Ella! Just give us a chance. Please, hear me out!" Ella stopped in her tracks, her hands clenching into fists as she fought to keep her composure. She spun around to face him, her eyes blazing with anger. "A chance?! What happened to the first chance you had? Please stop using your fake affections!" she shouted, her voice trembling with barely contained fury. "Just get to the point!" ”What exactly do you want from me Alpha Derek?” Derek’s jaw tightened, his fists clenching by his sides. He took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her anger press against him like a storm. "I do care, Ella. More than you know. But right now…my people are suffering, and I don’t have any other options. I came to you because I know you have the power to help them.” A bitter laugh escaped Ella’s lips as she shook
