Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 201 - チャプター 210

(Audrey's POV)I stared at the cell phone screen in Nathan's hands, the official Pack Council announcement burning into my retinas. "Florian Stormhowl - Declared Deceased." The words should have crushed me completely, but instead, something strange happened.A flood of memories crashed into my mind - not just recent ones, but ancient, buried ones I never knew I possessed. Suddenly, I was a small pup again, running through the forests of Northern Territory."Serena! You're late again!" A young Florian stood with his hands on his hips, golden eyes flashing with mock annoyance. "I've been waiting forever!""Sorry!" My own childish voice echoed in my memory. "I had to sneak past the pack guards."The scene shifted. We were climbing a steep rocky hill, and my legs ached from the effort."I can't go any further," I whined.Without hesitation, Florian crouched down. "Climb on. I'll carry you."Another memory surfaced - us sitting beneath an ancient moonwillow tree, its silver leaves c

(Audrey's POV)As I was about to knock on the car window, a Beta guard quickly blocked my action. His large form materialized between me and the vehicle with surprising speed for his size."Step back, miss," he ordered, his voice firm but professional. "This is a secured transport.""I know who's inside," I insisted, trying to peer around his broad shoulders. "Please, I just need a moment with him."The guard didn't budge. "State your name and business.""Audrey Winter. I'm—I'm an old friend of Alpha Stormhowl." My voice caught on the word 'friend,' wholly inadequate for what Florian and I had been to each other.Something shifted in the guard's expression—not recognition, but communication. He touched his ear briefly, listening to instructions through an earpiece.The passenger window lowered slightly, and another Beta guard—this one seated inside—gave me a dismissive glance."Our Alpha says he does not recognize you," he stated coldly. "Please step away from the vehicle."Th

(Audrey's POV)Central Territory is so vast. When I decided to return, I was prepared to encounter him again. Yet standing face to face with Arthur Moonstone so soon caught me off guard.I pulled my hand back from his grasp, feeling the familiar tingle where his skin had touched mine. Two years should have been long enough to erase that sensation, but my body remembered what my mind wished to forget.Luna Riverwind's eyes widened in surprise. "Luna Moonstone?" she questioned, looking between Arthur and me."Former Luna," we corrected in unison, our voices creating an awkward harmony.I forced my lips into a polite smile, directing my attention to Luna Riverwind. "Alpha Luna, you're busy with your dinner. We'll be going.""Yes, we should leave you to your meeting," Sarah added smoothly, always reliable in tense situations.Luna Riverwind nodded, though curiosity burned in her eyes. As we walked away, I caught her whispered comment to Arthur: "She certainly doesn't seem fond of yo

(Audrey's POV)Because of her words, the originally noisy atmosphere was suddenly quiet. I followed her gaze and immediately spotted Florian Stormhowl. His slender fingers held a glass of wine, his dark shirt sleeves casually rolled up to reveal lean forearms, his watch reflecting a cold light. Hearing the voice, he raised an eyebrow and casually glanced over.Our eyes met in mid-air, and time seemed to freeze. He was definitely still alive.My heart thumped wildly against my ribcage. Relief and joy crashed through me in waves that left me dizzy. Two years of uncertainty, of nightmares, of wondering if he had truly died in that explosion—all washed away in an instant."Florian..." His name escaped my lips like a prayer, and I felt my mouth curve unconsciously into a smile.But the warmth that flooded my body froze as quickly as it had come. His eyes, those golden eyes that once looked at me with such affection, were completely devoid of warmth. They were the eyes of a stranger—con

(Audrey's POV)The air seemed to still for a moment. Florian's golden eyes bored into me, focused and intense, like a predator watching its prey."When did this happen?" His voice was controlled, but I detected a slight tremor underneath."Yesterday," I answered truthfully, my hands still working on his tense calf muscle.His laugh caught me off guard—sharp, sarcastic, cutting through the room like a silver blade."How convenient," he said, pulling his leg away from my touch. "The mate bond with Arthur Moonstone fails after two years of desperate reconciliation attempts, so you crawl back to your backup plan?"The accusation hit me like a physical blow. I stood up quickly, nearly stumbling backward."That's not what happened at all!" My voice rose defensively. "You have no idea what I've been through."Florian's eyes hardened, his jaw tightening. He wheeled himself backward slightly, creating more distance between us."How is the leg feeling now?" he asked abruptly, changing t
