Semua Bab THE ALPHA'S REGRET : Bab 141 - Bab 150

****DARELL'S POV*******I stood on the terrace, one hand buried in my pocket, the other wrapped around the stem of a wine glass, as I listened to Emma’s grandfather speak. He sat across from Emma. My back was turned to them, but my ear was with them.“After Raleigh saved me from Stephen,” Marcus began, his voice calm but heavy with memory. “After he reached down and pulled me up from the ground… I swore I would never let go of that hand again.”I took a slow sip of wine, letting it warm my throat. "We became friends," Marcus said. "Real friends that many people are jealous of. And with his help, I learned how to stand up for myself. How to fight back. And how to be more than the weak, pathetic son my father saw when he looked at me. I became stronger and the first thing I did was to challenge my step brother, my father's eldest son as he was the next in line after my father.That seat was mine to begin with—my mother's seat. But because of my mother's love for my father, her mate, sh

******AMAYA'S POV*******“ She will soon wake up. She has been asleep for three days and I think that must have been because they had given her a high dosage.”An unfamiliar voice echoed faintly in my head as I slowly drifted back to consciousness. My body felt weak and sore, every muscle screaming as I tried to move.I wanted to roll around, only to find the bed so cold beneath me and that was when I knew that I wasn’t lying on the bed but on the ground and my eyes fluttered open immediately. At first, it was blurry but after a few blinks, my vision cleared.I looked around, taking in my surroundings, confusion creeping into my chest as I began to wonder, where the hell was I? And how did I get here?The last thing I remembered was reading a novel in my cell and then one of the female guards came in, smiled at me while I stared back, puzzled, and the next thing I knew, everything went black.And now I woke up here.I groaned softly as I pushed myself up to sit, my head spinning as I

****EMMA'S POV******The first thing that hit me was the smell — stale blood and decay, mixed with the sharp sting of alcohol and something darker, something that made my wolf recoil instinctively.Is this how vampires smell?I’d never met one before. I’d only heard stories that they were like upgraded versions of zombies: pale skin, the stench of corpses, and... strange.But Raleigh was nothing like that. You could hardly tell he was a vampire at all. His scent was different, normal...almost like ours, and his skin didn’t have that ghostly pallor either.Maybe it was because he wasn’t originally one of them. I couldn’t say for sure as I was still new to all this, and if not for my daughter, I wouldn’t even be here of all places. A Supreme Luna sneaking through vampire territory? I’d be hanged if anyone found out.I pulled the hood of my cloak lower, the herbs and potions woven into the fabric masking our werewolf scent. Keeping my gaze down, I followed Grandfather through the narrow

***** DARELL'S POV******I sat beside Hailey's bed, watching my daughter fidget with the edge of her blanket. Her small fingers twisted the fabric nervously, her gaze fixed on her lap as if it couldn’t bear to meet mine. Guilt hung between us like a shadow.All I had done was ask her one simple question — just one, and it led us right to this moment.I asked Hailey why she hadn’t once asked about Jane since she went missing. I could see the two of them bonding so quickly at the party, almost inseparable. But ever since Jane disappeared, Hailey hadn’t mentioned her name, not even once. Something that seems quite weird. Something that I would end up finding and correcting, because I planned on leading her towards the right part. My daughter wasn’t the kind of child with a dark heart, no matter what Emma’s mother’s prophecy might have said.“Sweetheart…” I said softly.“I’m sorry,” she whispered.“For what?” I reached for her hand, gently enclosing her trembling fingers in mine. “Sorry

“Don’t give me that look. You promised her protection, not to come back empty-handed.” I slammed my palm against the mahogany table; the sound cut the room. Anger crawled up my throat.“I know,” he breathed weakly, closing his eyes and inhaling like the air itself burned him; his face drained to something pale and hollow. It seems the poison his daughter had put in him was still working its wicked magic.Fuck!Everyone in his family is really weird.“Get him the pack doctor,” I ordered. “And I want you to pull every CCTV from that airport—every camera, every angle, every entrance and exit. Now!”I paced the office, restless, fingers threading through my hair until it felt like I could tear myself apart. Minutes later, Marcus retired with the pack doctor attending to him and then the CCTV footage was obtained.I moved to stand behind Aiden as he began to go through it, my eyes scanning the screens as he pulled up footage from various cameras. We watched Emma enter the restroom, saw Mar
