All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: The Luna He Betrayed: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11KIERANI stormed out of my room, my wolf was literally clawing at the edge of my consciousness with the kind of desperation I hadn't felt since the night Seraphina ran. Something was wrong and I knew it. Every instinct I possessed was screaming danger, and the mate bond, that I shared with Seraphina, who had been actively blocking it for years and it has gone dormant for five years was suddenly alive with distress signals I couldn't ignore.The hotel corridor seemed like a blur to me as I made my way towards Lucas's room that were three doors down. I had come to Millbrook with Seraphina's older brother as a favor to him, though the favor had been disguised as one to me. Lucas had been convinced that seeing his sister happy with another man would finally allow me to move on, to accept a different mate and secure the succession of my kingdom.He'd been wrong about a lot of things.I didn't bother knocking at all. The door gave way under my fist, breaking from its hinges as

Chapter 13SERAPHINA The first thing I noticed when I finally woke up from my sleep was the scent. It wasn't the artificial vanilla scent of Marcus's house or the disgusting Elena's perfume, but this was different and more familiar.Taking a deep breath, I recognized it. It was sandalwood and old books, leather and the faint trace of my mother's signature jasmine perfume. This scent resembled home. I was home.My eyelids felt heavy, as it was weighed down by exhaustion and also the lingering effects of whatever they'd injected into my system. Silver. I remembered the burning sensation as it moved through my veins, and I remembered Elena's vicious satisfaction as she'd watched me writhe in agony. The memory made me want to curl into myself and hide.But as awareness returned fully, I realized I wasn't alone."She's waking up," a familiar voice said softly, and I turned my head to see Lucas sitting in a chair beside what appeared to be a hospital bed. His face was filled with fury but

Chapter 15KIERANThe meeting with the Elder Alphas had dragged on for hours, each of them more concerned with their own territorial disputes than the actual business at hand. By the time I finally escaped the suffocating conference room, my wolf was pacing restlessly beneath my skin, anxious to return to Seraphina's side.I'd left her unconscious in the medical wing of the Blackwood compound three days ago, trusting her family to keep her safe while I dealt with the political fallout from my dramatic rescue in Millbrook. The supernatural world was buzzing with rumors and speculation, and I'd needed to contain the damage before it spiraled completely out of control.The hotel corridor was dimly lit as I made my way toward my suite, exhaustion weighing heavily on my shoulders. All I wanted was a hot shower and a few hours of sleep before catching the earliest flight back to the city. Back to her."Kieran."I stopped dead in my tracks, recognizing the voice immediately. Miranda Ashworth

Chapter 17LUCASI stared at my phone in disbelief, my hand tightened around the device as the dial tone buzzed, sounding like it was mocking me.Miranda Ashworth had just hung up on me. Actually hung up on me, as if I were some insignificant pack member rather than the heir to one of the most powerful supernatural families in North America.Running my free hand through my hair as I tried taking deep breath to steady myself from blowing up, but it was barely working as I felt frustration building in my chest like a brewing storm. I knew better than to cross Miranda, especially when the alliance between her family and Kieran's was so crucial for both our packs and it would be fucking stupid of me to lose such a huge goldmine like this, because she was acting up, feeling that her position might be threatened. The Ashworth resources and political connections had played a huge significant purpose, in maintaining and keeping the delicate balance of power that kept our territories secure

Chapter 19MIRANDAThe silence between us during the ride to the airport was suffocating, pressing down on my chest until I could barely breathe. Kieran sat beside me in the car, his jaw tight and his eyes fixed on something outside the window, carefully avoiding my gaze. I knew what he was thinking—that Lucas's call had been about her, that Seraphina was awake and asking for him, that everything we'd staged last night suddenly felt like a noose around his neck instead of the protective armor I'd intended it to be.I'd crossed a line by hanging up on Lucas. I knew it the moment I'd pressed that button, but desperation made people do stupid things, and I was nothing if not desperate to hold onto what little ground I'd gained.The photographers were still camped outside the hotel when we left, their cameras clicking away as Kieran and I climbed into the waiting car. I smiled for them, playing the part of the devoted fiancée, but inside I felt like I was drowning. Every flash of those ca
