All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: Return of the Rejected Mate: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Edward’s POVI stood in my mansion’s study, watching the local news coverage of the Rainbow Claw attack on three different screens. The footage showed exactly what I’d orchestrated—chaos, terror, and confusion that would provide perfect cover for my ultimate plan.The reporter’s voice filled the room as she described the “vicious assault by an unknown creature” while emergency vehicles crowded the background. Parents clutched each other outside the damaged facility, their faces twisted in anguish.Perfect.My phone sat ready on the desk, Penelope’s contact information displayed. The timing had to be precise—concerned enough to seem genuine, but not so immediate that it appeared suspicious.I dialed her number and composed my face into an expression of devastated concern, even though she couldn’t see me. The emotion had to carry through my voice.“Penelope,” I said the moment she answered, injecting exactly the right note of panic. “Thank the goddess you’re safe. I just heard about the

Dominic’s POVI reached the Rainbow Claw facility perimeter just as Nathan’s guards established a security cordon around the crime scene.The sight of my daughter’s training facility—scarred by massive claw marks and surrounded by emergency vehicles—made my wolf howl inside my chest. Somewhere beyond those barriers lay evidence about what had happened to Debbie.I parked my vehicle and approached the checkpoint on foot, my hands visible and non-threatening despite every instinct screaming at me to force my way through.“Alpha Dominic,” the guard said formally, stepping into my path with his rifle held across his chest. “You’re not authorized to enter this investigation zone. Please return to your vehicle and depart immediately.”“Like hell I will,” I said, my voice rising. “Debbie was taken in this attack. I have every right to participate in rescue operations.”“You have no rights here,” the guard replied coldly. “Direct orders from Nathan—you’re banned from the premises.”“Banned?” I

Edward’s POVI held Penelope against my chest while she sobbed over the evidence that implicated Dominic in their daughter’s kidnapping. Her complete trust in my comfort and support represented the culmination of months of careful manipulation—every romantic gesture, every supportive conversation, every demonstration of reliability building toward this moment.“I can’t believe he would do this,” she whispered against my shirt, her tears soaking through the fabric. “I know he resented me for leaving, but to take my daughter…”“Shh,” I murmured, stroking her hair while internally celebrating my success. “We’ll find her, Penelope. We’ll bring Debbie home safely.”“People do terrible things when they feel powerless,” I continued softly. “Dominic’s pride was wounded when you chose me over him. Maybe this is his way of reasserting control.”“But she’s just a child,” Penelope said, pulling back to look at my face with red-rimmed eyes. “Whatever issues he has with me, how could he involve an i

Edward’s POVI drove Penelope, my mind racing through the final phase of my plan while maintaining the facade of devotion. Every mile brought us closer to the culmination of days of planning.“How much further?” Penelope asked, staring at the phone displaying my fabricated message for what felt like the hundredth time.“We have a long way to go,” I replied, navigating another sharp curve in the increasingly narrow road. “The kidnappers chose this location specifically because it’s remote and difficult to access quickly.”The message I’d shown her was completely fabricated, crafted by Dr. Voss at my precise instructions. My operatives were currently moving Debbie and her friends Tommy and Elara to another location where they would be eliminated.The children had served their purpose as bait to lure Penelope away from her protective father and into my trap.The ritual chamber beneath my estate was prepared for the ceremony that would transfer her supernatural heritage to me.“Edward,” Pe

Edward’s POVI moved deeper into the forest, away from Penelope’s searching calls, until my phone finally caught a signal. The device immediately flooded with notifications—seventeen missed messages from my operatives. My fingers flew across the screen as I opened the first urgent text.Target package compromised. All three subjects missing from containment. Repeat: children have escaped.My jaw clenched as I read the devastating news. Debbie had somehow broken free from the secured holding area, taking Tommy and Elara with her. The little bitch had completely destroyed months of planning.How? I typed back furiously.Enhanced abilities exceeded estimates. Subject used advanced combat techniques to disable guards and breach containment protocols. Tactical training more extensive than anticipated.I stared at the screen in disbelief. A five-year-old child had outmaneuvered my trained operatives. Debbie’s enhanced capabilities from her Moon Goddess bloodline, combined with whatever comba
