Lahat ng Kabanata ng ALPHA, I'll BE YOUR REGRET: Kabanata 211 - Kabanata 218

FREDERICK.The night of the party.I couldn’t stand waiting any longer for Atlas or Bridget to get ready, I took the car and drove alone to Moonveil Pack. My arrival drew startled looks from the guards posted at the border and again at the gates of the estate. They hadn’t expected me so soon.After I parked, I stepped out and made my way toward the entrance. The silent hall greeted me.Across the space, I caught sight of Darius speaking to his subordinates. His words halted the moment his gaze found me. With a dismissive nod to the man, he broke away and approached.“Alpha Frederick?” His brows lifted, “You arrived so early. The party won’t begin for another hour. But, welcome to my pack,"I nod my head in acknowledgment, brushing aside the sudden thought that Atlas had been right when he said we could afford to leave later. Alpha Darius led me out toward the terrace adjoining the hall. Here was quiet too, the long tables still empty. I was the first guest to come tonight.“Would yo

Third Person's POVOdette wished she could stay close to Frederick a little longer, but his cold demeanor felt like a blade that cut through the last of her hope. And when he finally turned away leaving her standing there, her hope shattered. What hurt even more was knowing that his eyes would soon be searching for someone else; the woman who had filled them with warmth just moments ago.Tessa.Odette had seen her earlier across the room. That was why she had tried so hard to pull Frederick away, to distract him. She couldn’t let him look at Tessa.She didn’t want to lose against her.Odette had imagined that tonight when they finally met again, Frederick would show at least some spark of excitement. She had hoped for even a hint of what they once shared, like the night they sealed their bond under the full moon. But she was wrong.It was clear now that Frederick didn’t want her near him anymore. The door to his heart was shut and this time, Odette Laurent no longer held the key.As

TW: Animal's de*th.VELMARABeing among wolves always unsettled me. It stirred those old memories when some of them treated me as though I were less than nothing. I had lived in their world for a year now and even so, I sometimes still struggled to believe it. And tonight, here I was at their party. My gaze drifted over the crowd carefully until I saw a familiar figure.Tessa’s sister.Bridget? She’s here? The thought jolted me. And if Bridget was here, then…My eyes swept the room again, darting left, then right. And there, Atlas. Holding a wine glass in hand, speaking to someone.He was here too.The sight made me stumble back. A part of me wanted to vanish into the shadows before his eyes found me but another part refused to look away.No. It wasn’t im afraid of him after what I’d done to him. I'm afraid of the storm inside me, the unpredictable feeling that tore through me every time my eyes landed on him.“Ouch!"The small voice startled me and only then did I realize I’d coll

VELMARAWith the last shovelful of earth settling over the grave, Salem’s resting place was finally complete. The task had been carried out with trembling hands and tears but at least the painful part was done. I lingered beside the fresh mound for a few moments. There's a flower, plucked from the garden where he had once run, resting atop the soil.“It’s my fault,” I whispered, “I should have watched over you better, baby. I’m so, so sorry.” It feels like he was still here, nuzzling on my feet like he always does.I know I should've felt angry but I didn't even have strength left for fury. All that remained was an emptiness I knew would never fully close.Everyone would say Salem is nothing more than just a cat. But to me, he was my only companion when everyone else had turned their backs.“I want to stay with you longer, boy,” I murmured, “But you know I can’t drown in sadness forever and let that man win. I have a task to repay him.”I smoothed the dirt from my dress and rose.I h
