All Chapters of ALPHA'S REGRET, QUEEN'S REVENGE: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

ISAIAH I stood on the cliff's edge, staring out over the pack lands, and the night air was heavy with dread. Even though the moon was shining on the woodland, it didn't really make me feel any better. I had been seeing increasingly demanding and vivid images as if the very fabric of fate were tearing apart in front of my eyes. I shut my eyes and concentrated, allowing the future's hints to lead the way. The world around me became blurry into an unsettling calm as the familiar pull of the visions overcame my senses. In the vision I could see a golden horizon in front of me, but it was obscured by heavy, black clouds that were sweeping in like an inexorable wave. The gigantic apparition appeared in the distance, his body encircled by shadows and fire. Azure. Armies of darkness gathered behind him as he stood in the middle of a battlefield, his arms uplifted. The sound of their roars and growls filled the air, and their forms were hideous and inhuman. Azure had a chain in his hand, and

AARONDespite the peace of the forest surrounding the packhouse, my mind was anything but calm; the weight of fatherhood, the inexplicable nature of my daughter's existence, and the impending threats from forces we hardly understood—it was all too much. But as I looked down at Aurora cradled in Lyna's arms, everything seemed to fade away. Her tiny fingers twitched, her violet eyes fluttering open briefly to meet mine before she fell back asleep. “How are you holding up?” Lyna’s voice cut through my mind.As I sat in the rocking chair we had set up by the window, I looked up at her. Her pale skin seemed to glow in the moonlight, and she was radiant despite the exhaustion lining her face. “I’m not sure,” I confessed, stroking her hair. “One minute I’m terrified out of my mind, and the next, I feel... whole. Like she’s a piece of me I didn’t know was missing.” Lyna smiled, her fingers grazed Aurora’s cheek. “She is. She’s a piece of both of us.” The weight of her words settled over me, a

ADRIANI couldn't help but notice the tension in the air on the pack's grounds. I sensed it in the warriors' training, their eyes more fierce, their actions more precise. It was something more profound and primordial than the triplets' secrets or Azure's impending menace. And Hailey was the first. I saw the soldiers in the pack move in unison as I stood at the edge of the training area. I was envious of their admirable devotion to their queen. Even for me, such kind of loyalty was uncommon. But I wasn't thinking about them. They had her. Hailey. The connection I had with her was different from anything I had ever experienced; it wasn’t romantic—I wouldn’t dare venture into such territory anymorè—but it was profound, a connection that pulled at my very soul. She didn’t know it, but I had been dreaming of her, dreams full of whispers, warnings, and a sense of inevitability. “Adrian.” Isaiah’s voice drew me out of my reverie. The older man came towards me, his face shadowed by a mixture

MARISSA The forest used to be my sanctuary, My haven, When everything else was too much, being the beta's mate got overwhelming, when Logan's overprotectiveness suffocated me, when the politics and the threat jumbled my thoughts, I came here. Outside the pack lands, beneath towering trees whose thick trunks shared secrets of centuries, I could breathe once more. Tonight was unusually still, however; no wind, no insects, not even the periodic rhythmic trill of crickets. It was the kind of quiet that didn't soothe but press in on you, heavy and thick like fog, amplifying every crack of a twig or rustle of leaves. The earthy scent of moss and bark filled my lungs, grounding me, but tonight… it wasn’t working. Something felt off, not wrong in the obvious sense, just off. A quiet unease started building in my chest, and Lyra, my wolf, stirred restlessly in the back of my mind. We’re not alone, she growled, her voice low and alert. The hairs on my arms raised, my senses intensified an

AZURE The air in the lair pulsed with ancient energy that had existed long before this world knew light, and I sat upon my throne, carved from obsidian and etched with the runes of power, with my fingers drumming rhythmically on its armrest. I reminded myself that patience was necessary for all great victories, and mine would be the greatest of them all. As Thomas entered the room, his posture was rigid and submissive; he was loyal, yes, but flawed,like all mortals. His previous report about Marissa lingered in my mind, a mixture of annoyance hung in my head, a mix of annoyance and contentment. Alive yet unable to function. It was a calculated decision, but not one I would have taken. "My lord," Thomas said with a slight bow I narrowed my eyes and waved him closer "Talk, Thomas. What's new? He moved forward warily as if he were afraid of crossing some unseen line. "The pack continues to be in a state of confusion. Tensions among Hailey's allies are rising, and she is preoccupied w
