Semua Bab Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left: Bab 91 - Bab 100

(Audrey's POV)"Let's talk somewhere more private," she suggested, we walked through opulent hallways that spoke of old wealth and power into a sunlit sitting room."Nathan deserves to be with someone he truly cares for," I insisted once we were seated. "Not forced into an arranged mating for political convenience."Lydia's eyes studied me with calculating intensity. "Even if the one he loves is forever beyond his reach?""Even then," I replied firmly. "Love isn't about possession. It's about wanting happiness for someone, even if you can't be the one to provide it."A cynical smile curved Lydia's lips. "How idealistic. You sound just like him.""Is that why you brought me here? To convince me to persuade Nathan to give up on love?""Essentially," she admitted with surprising candor. "My mother is determined to secure an alliance with the Stormhowl Pack. If Nathan refuses..."The unspoken threat hung in the air between us."He's rejected his family's business for years," Lydia

(Audrey's POV)"Arthur, you can't seriously be considering sending Victoria away," Katherine said, her voice soft but carrying a calculated undertone I'd learned to recognize. "After everything our family has been through together."Victoria's lower lip trembled on cue. "Mother, they want to send me to the Confederate wolf colonies. The Eastern Badlands! You know what happens to unmated females there."I crossed my arms, unmoved by their performance. "The decision has already been made. Victoria deliberately caused my accident which resulted in the death of my unborn pups. There must be consequences."Katherine's eyes widened in practiced innocence. "Surely there's been some misunderstanding. Victoria would never intentionally harm anyone, especially not an unborn pup."Arthur shifted uncomfortably beside me. I could feel his resolve wavering even before he spoke."Audrey is my marked mate, not an outsider," Arthur declared, though his voice lacked the conviction it had held yest

(Audrey's POV)The silence on the phone stretched as I waited for George Thompson to confirm what Elder William had told us about Katherine's involvement in Arthur's mother's death."George?" I prompted anxiously. "Please, tell Arthur what you heard that day.""I'm afraid I don't understand what you're referring to, Luna," George said formally. "Elder William never made such accusations in my presence."My heart dropped. This couldn't be happening. George had been there when Elder William revealed the truth."George, what are you talking about?" I asked shakily. "You were there when Elder William told us about Katherine pushing Arthur's mother down the stairs.""I'm sorry, Luna. You must be misremembering. Elder William never said such things to me."Victoria stepped forward with a triumphant smile. "You tried to bribe George into lying about my mother, didn't you? How despicable!"Katherine placed a trembling hand over her heart. "Arthur, I can't believe she would go to such l

(Audrey's POV)"What no relationship?"I nearly spilled my drink as I turned around, coming face-to-face with Nathan Snowfang. "Nathan," I stammered. "What are you doing here?"His lips curved into a small smile. "Same as everyone else—enjoying full-moon weekend." He gestured to the empty chair at our table. "May I?"I nodded, still surprised by his sudden appearance. Sarah shot me a mischievous look before lifting her glass in a silent toast to Nathan."I'm here with a friend," Nathan explained, settling into the chair. "He's somewhere by the bar."I glanced around the crowded club, my eyes scanning the bar area. Sarah leaned forward, her interest piqued."Anyone we know?" she asked.Nathan's eyes danced with humor. "Lucas Reed, actually. Though I think he's more interested in watching you from afar than talking to me."Sarah's face darkened at the mention of Lucas. "That coward. He thinks he can watch me while planning his mate bonding with another she-wolf?"Without anothe

(Audrey's POV)The car pulls up to the front door of Pack House, Arthur's words filled with menace and possession still echoing in my head. I sat in the car, motionless."Get out," Arthur commanded, his voice lacking the warmth it once held when we first became mates.I turned to face him, finding his expression cold and unyielding. "You can't keep me here against my will.""Can't I?" His eyebrow arched slightly, a gesture I'd once found endearing but now found infuriating. "You seem to forget who I am, Audrey.""The Alpha King who's about to lose his mate," I replied coldly.He laughed, the sound hollow and bitter. "We'll see about that."I knew when to pick my battles. Fighting him now, alone in the darkness, would only make things worse. With as much dignity as I could muster, I stepped out of the car and walked toward the mansion's imposing entrance. The grand structure loomed before me, once my home, now my prison.Two Beta guards opened the doors for us, their expressions
