All Chapters of The Alpha King’s Last Regret : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Pearl GemI have lost before and the fear of losing again had driven me to the edge of something monstrous. As I stood alone in the pharmacy store, the truth settled heavily in my chest. I was slowly becoming like the very royals I despised. I had almost taken a life that might have only just begun to form. Maybe it hadn’t… but the thought alone felt like murder. A sinless, innocent being… what right did I have?Without thinking, I fled the store, bursting out into the street just in time to see Kade King stepping toward his car. My heart pounded wildly as I rushed forward, grabbing onto the car door. He was flanked by his motorcade, guards, and Beta, but I didn’t care. None of it mattered, only him.“Kade, let me explain!” I pleaded, his name slipping from my lips in desperation, heedless of the crowd. He didn’t move. “I swear I can explain. Please. Just let me talk.”I was determined. If he tried to leave, I would hold onto that door until my fingers bled. His jaw clenched as he fin

Pearl GemI stayed there with him, unable to think straight, unable to fathom why, in the vast wolf empire, fate could be so tangled without a single loose end. Why happiness and peace always seem so far off. Why the secrets between us are thick enough to choke on.I gently gazed at His Majesty, and the urge to open up about my countdown crossed my mind. Maybe I should tell him about the little time I have left. That way… that way…I pulled back, confused. That way, then what? Nothing. I can’t bring myself to tell him. Never. No. All I can do is enjoy the peace, at least for now. Let’s see where this thing between us leads. Let’s just wait and see.I was so deep in thought I didn’t notice he had sat up, not until his palm came to rest on my thigh, his eyes fixed on it with no expression. Then he met my gaze and spoke softly.“I need to freshen up. Show me your bath chamber.”I suddenly swallowed hard. Did I hear that right? My bath… room?“Uh… Your Majesty… it’s not that great or…”“I

Kade King I woke up with a start. A silent summon tugging at my senses. Gently, I tilted my head, careful not to wake the woman lying on me, her head resting on my chest, her legs tangled with mine.I turned toward the door. I could feel him.Riven.Swallowing hard, I reached for my wristwatch from the nightstand. A little past five in the morning. I eased off the bed with delicate care, not wanting to wake her. She barely got any sleep last night.I paused once I stood, glancing back at her. She remained still, eyes closed, the quilt draped over her form, but one bare shoulder peeked out. so beautiful, so peaceful. I swallowed again.The summon came stronger this time, and I clenched my jaw. Quietly, I walked to the door and opened it a crack. Riven stood there, bowing his head, careful not to let his gaze linger on me.“Duty calls, Your Majesty. You have a meeting with the council.”I raised an eyebrow.“That meeting was set for next week. Why today?”He looked up briefly, a look o

Pearl Gem I allowed myself to enjoy it. The shower in the bedroom. I used the soap, the toothbrush, and smiled to myself because they all belonged to Kade King. Everything carried his scent.About an hour after I woke up, I got dressed, ready to leave. But then came a knock at the door, and an attendant walked in, bowing low before me. It tightened something in my chest.“Good morning. Please, what will you have for breakfast?” She asked politely.“No need, please. I’m already on my way. I’m totally fine,” I replied with a small smile. I moved to walk past her, but she quickly reached out and took my hand in a hurry, startling me.“Please, you have to take your breakfast before you leave. His Majesty will be mad if we didn’t treat you right. Please.”I took a step back, surprised by how she was shivering in fear. Slowly, I looked at the wall clock and swallowed hard.“I’m really fine. He won’t be mad, I promise,” I said softly, hoping the smile on my face would be enough.“As you say

Pearl Gem I listened. To the steps. I stilled myself, letting the sound reach me. Then I caught it, his scent. I paused again, sensing his presence, and when he came into view, my heart swelled. Just seeing him, feeling how near he was. But even now, he was busy, speaking on his way in. It felt like the entire corporation had been waiting for this moment. Department heads, Marce… and me.His Majesty was just about to enter when his Beta, Leif, handed him a ringing phone.“Your Majesty, it’s urgent.”Kade paused, a flicker of strain on his face before he accepted the call, walking toward his office.“Hello,” He answered, then paused. “Right away. I will send my Beta.”He handed the phone back to Leif and gave a sharp order.“Go review the documents and bring me the report.”“You have a meeting coming up with…”“Excuse me, Beta Leif,” Marce interrupted, stepping forward. “But His Majesty is busy right now. Kindly leave. We have got business to attend to.”The flash of anger in Leif’s e
