Semua Bab Alpha's Regret; She Has Our Son: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Alexa's POV"Where is he?" I mutter worriedly, staring at the pathway. It's getting darker and that's because night is fast approaching. He promised to meet me here, at our usual spot today. I've been waiting since afternoon and now it's almost night. Still no sign of him. I stare sadly at the small red box in my hand. Hours ago, I was so thrilled to give this to him. I wanna see the happiness on his face when he opens it and sees that I got him a watch. Maybe not as classy as the ones he's used to. But yeah, a watch. Because he loves watches a lot. I bought it to congratulate him on graduating high school today. We don't go to the same school and I can't step a foot into his Pack for fear of getting beheaded. So I didn't attend his graduation after-party. So I thought…I thought we'd celebrate here…but right now, I doubt if he's still coming. It's been over hours. Waiting here is pretty stupid of me. But I just can't find the will to leave. I miss him so much and I badly wanna se

Lucian's POVThe loud trap music and howling sounds floating in the air and reverberating the walls of the building is a sign of my ongoing bachelor party on the third floor. It's a mad circus down there and I should be the center of it, seeing it's for me. But instead, I ditched it and came up here to my suite, on my balcony, just stargazing and lost in my miserable thoughts. I can no longer pretend that I'm okay. Tomorrow's my wedding day and then I'll forever be gone from Alexa's life. I'll be lawfully tied to another and I'll never be able to break free from that bond. It's a frightening fate and the thought of being bonded to another is soul-crushing. Makes me feel helpless and drowning in despair. This whole situation is slowly killing me. I should shout for help. I should kick against it. But I don't have the guts to rebel against my parents. I can't rebel against the responsibilities that have been hanging around my neck since birth. Caging me from indulging my wishes and

Lucian's POVA disgruntled sigh puffs through my lips as my phone starts buzzing again. I take it out of my pocket just to confirm if it's who I think it is. And I'm right. It's her. My frustrating chosen mate, Letty. It's just been two hours since I left our Pack but her annoyingly clingy ass won't stop calling my phone. Just a few seconds ago, I got off the phone with Drake. She was calling all through but I wasn't about to cut short my conversation with Drake just because of her.And now, she's calling again. Trying to drive me nuts with her persistent calls. Getting into the elevator, I swipe to the receive button to finally hear what it is she has to say. But I think I know what all this is about. She didn't want me to come here alone. She'd been whiny about my plans of coming here and had insisted I take her along. I refused. So I'm sure this is all her way to frustrate me."Why do you keep calling me?" I snap, the second I take the call. "Why won't you let me have a little b

Lucien’s POVI didn’t realize how hard I was gripping the table until I heard the wood split in two and cave in under the weight of my hand, splinters sticking out.Drake stares at me, a shocked look on his face. “Are you alright?”I glance at my hand gripping the table and look up at him. “Yes, I am,” I am shocked by my own reaction. “I’m okay,” I pull away and put my hand behind my back.Drake looks at me with uncertainty in his eyes. “Are you sure?”I nod. “Yes, I’m sure. I just didn’t know how hard I was gripping it,” I answer. “I was too engrossed in your explanation, I had no idea...” I trailed off.Drake nods. “That’s alright, I’ll just call for another one.” He is silent for a while, so I assume he’s mind-linking someone.“Carry on,” I urge him, pulling out a chair across from him. Maybe if I was seated, I’ll be more in control of my emotions. “It was pure excitement.”Drake nods in understanding. “So...”“Alexa,” I remind him, maybe a little bit too eagerly. If he realized it

The words hang in the air between us, and I can tell he's using his alpha tone. The tension in the air is thick, and I realize I'm holding my breath. I hate it, the nerve of him to bark out orders to me like I belong to him, or like I'm part of his Pack. The rejection stings even harder now that I think about it.I clear my throat dramatically, tucking my hair behind my ear. I glare at him, but his expression remains unchanged. I subtly hint at him to step away, but he doesn’t move an inch. He completely ignores me, staring down at me, his eyes never leaving mine.Drake looks between the both of us in confusion. I can see it in his eyes, and in that moment, I can’t help but wonder what he’s thinking. Of course, he's not dumb, he probably has noticed the tension in the air between us, not to leave out Lucien who is ogling me like I'm his favorite dessert.I know I have to salvage the situation. Drake is already suspicious, and I don’t want him to figure it all out. If he knows, that me
