All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Dominic’s POVI stood in the doorway of what used to be my private bedroom, pressing my knuckles against my temple where a headache was building. The sight of Kelsey’s clothes in my room, her perfume bottles already lined up on my dresser, had made my stomach turn.What had I been thinking? When Penelope told me she was marrying Edward, when she looked me in the eyes and said she loved him now, I’d felt something break inside me. In my pain and anger, I’d agreed to let Kelsey move in, thinking it didn’t matter anymore.Now her presence felt like a violation of everything that had once been sacred to me.I turned away and walked into the living room, trying to escape the cloying scent of her perfume that seemed to follow me everywhere now.“Dominic?” My mother looked up from the sofa where she was watching the evening news. “What were you two doing in there? It sounded like you were having quite the argument.”I composed my features carefully, making sure nothing showed on my face. “Not

Dominic’s POV“Speaking of Kelsey,” Mom said, as if reading my thoughts, “how long are you planning to let this charade continue?”“What charade?”“This fake domesticity. You don’t love her, Dominic. Anyone with eyes can see that.”“She’s pregnant with my child.”“So she claims.”I stared at my mother. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“It means,” she said carefully, “that pregnant women have been known to lie about paternity before. Especially when they have something to gain.”“You think Kelsey would—”“I think Kelsey would do whatever it takes to become Luna of this pack,” Mom interrupted. “And I think you’re too honorable for your own good sometimes.”“You were the one who insisted I accept Kesley.”“That was before I saw Debbie making that gesture. I already suspected, but now…”I sank back into the sofa. “I don’t want to endure a second round of torment,” I said quietly. “Especially since Kelsey is already pregnant with my child. How could I face both women?”Mom leaned forward, he

Edward’s POVI followed Nathan into the dining room just as the remarkable scene unfolded before my eyes. Penelope stood near the table, holding her left wrist out for examination.“What happened?” I asked, stepping closer to the small group gathered around her.“Debbie accidentally bumped into me while I was carrying hot soup,” Penelope explained, rotating her wrist to show all sides. “It splashed everywhere and burned me badly. The skin turned bright red and started swelling immediately.”“But look at it now,” Nathan said, his voice filled with wonder. He gestured toward her unmarked arm. “Completely healed.”I moved closer, genuinely fascinated despite my underlying panic. “May I see?”Penelope extended her arm toward me. I examined the smooth skin carefully, running my fingers lightly over where the burn should have been. No redness, no swelling, no trace of injury. The healing was absolutely perfect.“Incredible,” I murmured. “How do you feel? Any lingering pain or discomfort?”“N

Penelope’s POVDad caught up with me as I reached my car, his face still dark with anger about the medical supplies.“You know what I think you should do?” he said. “Walk into that council chamber and demand answers. Confront those corrupt members directly. Make them admit what they’ve done.”I paused with my hand on the car door, considering his suggestion. The idea was tempting—watching those smug council members squirm under direct questioning, but my instincts warned against such a direct approach.“That would be too rash,” I said, shaking my head. “If we go in making accusations without solid proof, we’ll just alert them to cover their tracks. They’ll destroy records and move money around before we can catch them.”“So we just let them steal from us?”“No,” I replied firmly. “We secretly gather concrete evidence first. We trace every dollar from allocation to distribution. We document the discrepancies, identify the players, build a case they can’t deny. Then we expose them all at

Penelope’s POVI sat down as far from Dominic as the narrow seat would allow, angling my body toward the aisle. The image of his obvious arousal burned in my mind, and I couldn’t quite shake the mixture of disgust and something else I didn’t want to name.“Control yourself,” I whispered, keeping my voice low enough that only he could hear. My eyes flicked down to his lap again despite my best efforts. “This is disgusting.”Dominic’s jaw clenched. He kept his gaze fixed straight ahead at the Chairman’s podium, but I could see a vein pulsing at his temple.“You’re a pervert,” I continued, biting my lip to keep from raising my voice. “In the middle of a council meeting, really?”“This isn’t something I can control,” he replied through gritted teeth, his voice barely audible. The frustration in his tone was obvious, like he was fighting some internal battle. “Your pheromones are like a bomb going off in my head.”I scoffed and turned away from him. “How convenient.”“Convenient?” His voice
