Semua Bab ALPHA, I'll BE YOUR REGRET: Bab 151 - Bab 160

TESSAI stood there lost in thought, my gaze fixed on nothing in particular. A gentle pat on my shoulder pulled me back and I turned to find Bridget standing beside me.“What are you looking at?” I shook my head, forcing a small smile. “Nothing. Just enjoying the atmosphere.”I couldn’t possibly tell her the truth that consumed by anxiety and quiet longing. But then she spoke again and her words caught me completely off guard.“We’ve sent a letter to the Stormhowl Pack about everything that’s happened. We’re not going to hide the truth. You haven’t said anything, but I know you’re thinking about them right now, aren’t you?”I blinked, a little stunned and slightly embarrassed. “Is it that obvious?”“Yes,” she replied simply, her tone filled with understanding.We stood side by side by the window in silence until the last sliver of sunlight disappeared beyond the western horizon. “Actually,” Bridget said after a moment, breaking the stillness, “We’re hosting a small gathering tonight

TESSAFrederick’s words didn’t just catch Odette off guard they caught me by surprise too.The moment she left the room, I could only stare at the closed door, my lips slightly parted in disbelief. Had he just stripped Odette of her right to speak on his council?“She’ll be just fine,” Frederick said with a sigh, his tone more tired than harsh.“She never really used that right anyway,” Atlas added dryly, his remark only deepening my shock.How could that be? Odette was the Luna. How could she never have offered her opinion during a gathering like this?Frederick simply gave a small shrug. When his gaze finally settled on me, it held an apology he didn’t speak aloud. Now the secret was out. Everyone knew. We had tried to keep it buried until we could find a way out."This is your idea, isn't it?" Irene’s voice was sharp, her gaze locked onto her grandson. "How could you, Frederick? Don’t you realize that Mark could be dangerous for Tessa?""I’m well aware. That’s why we planned to kee

TESSAThe voice kept ringing over and over inside my head. I forced myself to shift back, shoving my wolf into submission as I reclaimed control. I managed it and the voices finally stopped.But the pounding in my chest didn’t. My heart raced as my eyes darted left and right. How if he had once again found a way to slip past our borders disguising himself as one of the pack’s guards? Just like the ones now patrolling here?A chill ran down my spine. I turned and ran straight home.I reached the house in no time, bursting through the door and slamming it shut behind me. For a moment I just leaned against it trying to breathe, before my knees gave away and I sank to the floor.The mark on my neck pulsed. It throbbed with pain like it knew. I could feel him through it.My fingers grazed over it. Frustated, I began to claw at my skin. My vision blurred as tears welled in my eyes. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t scrub it out, i couldn’t make it vanish.“Get away from me!” I hissed

FREDERICKTessa’s eyes found mine. Seeing the unspoken question in her gaze struck me with a wave of shame.Beneath that shame, I feel my anger boiling. How had Odette’s actions escaped my notice again? This was the second time after the first when she had exposed Tessa’s mark to everyone.I had already dealt with the oracles who betrayed my orders, I stripped them of their titles and cast them from my pack. I’d punished Odette too, I thought it would break her defiance but I had underestimated her.My jaw clenched so tightly it felt like my teeth might shatter.I'm so fucking mad at Odette right now. I have never been this furious with anyone before. “Are you going to defend her again now?” Grandma’s voice cut like a blade. “I wrote that book myself when I was fifteen. There’s nothing else like it in the world and your Luna tried to steal it from me. She tried to sabotage our only chance to erase the mark our enemy gave. Are you just going to stay silent?”She's just as mad at me. S

ODETTE"Come on, Luna. I’m taking you home." Bastian’s gentle voice reached me from somewhere beside the bed.I blinked my eyes open, my head felt so damn hurt. As soon as I tried to stand, the room spun violently and I lost my balance. Thankfully, Bastian was quick to catch me before I could hit the floor. "Careful, Luna,"I took in my surroundings slowly. I was in a modest bedroom. This wasn’t my room at the mansion and it certainly wasn’t my parents’ house either."Where am I?" I rasped, my throat raw and dry.Suddenly, I remember the reason for the throbbing pain in my head. Last night I was drinking so much until I got drunk and lost my consciousness. I had thrown myself into the chaos in an attempt to drown the fury I felt for Frederick.He had humiliated me in front of our friends for something that wasn’t even wrong. I was only trying to do what was right as his Lune. Tessa was the one who deserved that punishment. That sly little fox. Not me, the Luna."You’re at my house, L
