Semua Bab ALPHA, I'll BE YOUR REGRET: Bab 251 - Bab 260

BRIDGET“Look me in the eye when I talk to you.” My father’s voice had never sounded so serious in my entire life. “I have the proof, but I want to hear it directly because you’re my daughter. You told me the money I sent you was just for fun, but I tracked your transfer records. You sent it to several accounts including Alessia Ford, the Pack’s doctor.”My tongue felt heavy; every word I might have said died before it reached the air. There was no point denying it when he already knew. Maybe it was time to tell the truth.“Answer me, Bridget,” he pressed, his tone hardening. “What were you hiding? And the rumor that’s been circulating about you lately, the photos at the bar-"“It has nothing to do with that,” I cut in quickly. “And yes, Dad. I bribed Doctor Alessia and the hospital to keep quiet.”“Quiet about what?”“So they wouldn’t leak Gabriel’s test results,” I confessed quietly. “That night he got into a drunken fight, and the doctor examined him afterward. You know how tense

FREDERICKI’ve been trying to reach Atlas through the Pack link since this morning, but every attempt met silence. He’d closed the connection, something he never did before. He hadn’t shown up at headquarters today either which only made things feel more off.“Strange,” I muttered under my breath as I rose from my seat. Stepping out of my room, I caught Gerald, the Gamma, in the hallway. “If Atlas shows up later, tell him I’ll be waiting for him at the mansion.”He inclined his head respectfully. “Yes, Alpha.”There were matters that needed to be discussed; numerous business deals from several Packs that had recently made promising offers. Atlas had personally met with their representatives, and today was meant to be the day we reviewed the proposals together. But his sudden disappearance had forced me to postpone everything.“Other than him, who else was absent today?” I asked.“No one, Alpha-" Gerald began, then hesitated. “Actually, now that you mention it, I haven’t seen Gabriel i

FREDERICK“Show me,” I told Bill the moment he arrived at the pack’s prison.He wasted no time leading me down the corridor to the cell where Odette had once been confined. The door now hung open, and two guards stood at attention outside, their gazes fixed on the ground as if already anticipating punishment. I couldn’t tell which of them had been assigned to watch over her, but I intended to find out soon enough.The cell itself was ordinary. I had debated placing Odette in the dungeon instead, but her family, especially her father, had come to me, pleading for leniency. He begged me to show mercy, to spare their family’s dignity from further disgrace. Against my better judgment, I agreed. Looking at the open cell now, I regretted ever listening to him.“It’s inside, Alpha,” Bill said quietly. “You should see it for yourself. You might recognize her handwriting better than any of us. We can’t tell if it was truly written by Odette or if she stole it from someone else.”He gestured to

ATLASWhen I set foot back here earlier, I was met with a flurry of shouts and anxious faces. Everyone is saying that the Alpha had been demanding my presence. That was when I knew I was in trouble. Frederick must have realized my absence since this morning. And though I had taken care to finish several tasks in advance so my plan today would run smoothly, I really shouldn’t have been gone too long.“You?” His brows arched in disbelief as if he thought I’d lost my mind. He didn’t look furious, at least not yet. Time to stop dodging, I had to tell him the whole truth.Before meeting Frederick, I erase all traces of the fight with Gabe; blood, dirt, and sweat scrubbed clean from my skin. I washed up at my hidden headquarters, ensuring no mark remained. After that, just as I was about to grab the cell key from the belt I’d left on my desk, I realized that it was gone.I searched the entire building and then the yard but that damned thing was nowhere to be found. Panicked, I hurried bac

MARINAAfter three days I was finally able to rise from bed and take a bath without feeling as though my head might burst. All thanks to Dr. Carl’s medicine. During those three days, I waited for my son to come again, because that night, our conversation had ended unfinished. No, I wasn’t planning to beg for Frederick’s forgiveness. I knew I was in the wrong, and an apology could never be enough to mend what I had broken. Yet, beneath all the regret, a hope still burned within me. I only wished for the chance to speak with him, to make sure he wouldn’t shut me out completely. Because silence was worse than any punishment, to be treated as invisible by your own son was a torment words couldn’t capture.This morning, I prepared myself to meet Frederick at his office in the border headquarters. But before I could leave, a car pulled up in front of my house.Moments later, the door crashed open, and Bill stepped inside, flanked by two pack members; prison guards. He raised a hand to them
