All Chapters of Alpha’s Regret After His Abandoned Luna Left: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

*Four Days Later*(Aurora's POV)Sunlight streamed through my bedroom window, warming my face as I slowly opened my eyes. My hand instinctively reached across the bed, finding empty space still warm from Alexander's body.He had left recently.I breathed in, catching his distinctive scent—pine, wild rain, and that unique essence that was purely Alexander. For four nights, he had come to me in darkness, never announcing his arrival but somehow knowing when I would be alone.Each night followed the same pattern. He would hold me without demanding more, his strong arms wrapped around my waist as if afraid I might vanish."We could start over," he had whispered last night, his lips brushing against my hair. "Forget the past. Begin anew."The temptation had been powerful. My wolf Zoe whined within me, still drawn to her mate despite everything. But the wounds of betrayal cut deep.How could I forget seeing him with Ivy in our secret den? How could I erase the memory of his tendernes

I straightened my dark charcoal shirt, adjusting the cuffs of my black suit as I approached Aurora's table at the Silver Moon Café. The formal attire felt appropriate for this meeting—it emphasized my status as pack enforcer while maintaining professional distance."Meeting someone here to discuss pack business?" I asked, though I already knew the answer.Aurora looked up, surprise flickering across her face before she composed herself. The soft afternoon light streaming through the café windows highlighted the honey-brown tones in her hair, making it appear almost golden."Ethan," she said, her voice soft but steady. "I didn't expect to see you here.""May I?" I gestured to the empty chair across from her.She nodded, and I settled into the seat, noticing the untouched moon tea before her. Tension hung between us—unspoken but palpable."I heard Enforcer Turner left rather abruptly," I remarked, keeping my tone casual.A flicker of resignation crossed her features. "News travels

(Alexander's POV)"What don't I know?" I demanded, my voice dangerously low.Ruby stepped forward, unafraid despite the obvious power difference between us. "Ivy Lawrence told Aurora's grandmother she was carrying your pups! The shock nearly killed the old woman!"My blood ran cold. I turned to Ivy, who suddenly couldn't meet my eyes."Is this true?" I asked, fighting to control my wolf Alex, who was snarling beneath my skin.Ivy's fingers twisted nervously. "I may have... mentioned something about a future with you.""She deliberately told Grace Winters she was pregnant with your heir!" Ruby insisted. "The poor woman collapsed immediately. She's in critical condition at the healing center right now!"The pieces fell into place—Aurora's rage, the confrontation, everything. I'd slapped my mate without even asking for her side of the story. Alex clawed at my insides, howling with regret."Ivy," I said quietly, my control hanging by a thread. "Did you lie to Aurora's grandmother a

*One week later*(Aurora's POV)The northern edge of Blackwood territory was breathtaking in autumn. Golden leaves swirled around my new healing den as I signed the final papers for my five-year lease."Congratulations, Healer Winters," the property agent said, handing me the keys. "The mineral springs access is included, as specified."I smiled, feeling a small victory. "Thank you."This space was mine alone—no memories of Alexander, no painful reminders of our failing mate bond. The building had excellent ventilation for drying herbs and multiple treatment rooms for patients. Most importantly, it was far from the main pack house.As I explored the garden area where I'd plant healing herbs, I heard light footsteps approaching."Healer Winters!" A cheerful female voice called.I turned to see a young woman with steel-gray eyes—unmistakably related to Ethan Gray. She had the same dark hair with natural silver highlights, though hers was longer, tied in a practical braid."You m

The moment we entered the Moonstone Suite, my breath caught in my throat.Moonlight streamed through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating a space more luxurious than anywhere Alexander and I had ever stayed together. Crystal chandeliers reflected soft light across plush furniture and silk bedding.I stepped away from Alexander, maintaining distance between us. "This is ridiculous. I'm leaving."Before I could reach the door, Alexander moved with werewolf speed, pressing me against the wooden surface. His body caged mine, trapping me between his warmth and the cold door."You're not going anywhere," he growled, his voice dropping to that dangerous octave that meant his wolf was close to the surface.Then his lips were on mine, demanding and possessive. The scent of pine forests and woodsmoke filled my senses – that distinctive Alexander scent I'd ignored for years but now threatened to overwhelm me.I hated how my body trembled against my will. Four years of mate bonding had cre
