Semua Bab The Alpha's Regret; Too Late To Claim Me: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Veldana’s POVA new face appeared in the room. But, she was looking at me like she knew me. Like I mattered to her. And like she was about to do something she did not want to. “Hey, Vel,” she greeted coming closer to me.“Um... hi,” I replied fighting the urge to shrink away from her. Who was she? I tried to remember. There was a familiarity but I really did not know. Who was she?“Do you know who I am?” She asked and I could tell the answer meant a lot to her. I wish I could give her some reassurance but I could not.“I am sorry but no. I am sure I can learn though,” I added and she gasped and threw her arms around me in a soft hug.“Gosh, Vel, you always have to make me worry, don’t you?” She asked sniffing back tears. I wanted to hug her back but I did not know her.Maurice and Fred came in while she was hugging me and they both looked worried.“How are you feeling?” The lady asked.“Okay. How about you?” I noticed she was wearing a hospital gown too. What happened to her?“Better

Veldana’s POV“What?” I blinked at Leila and she nodded vigorously.“You promised mom,” she reminded me and I sighed. She could say that I promised any number of things now that I could not remember.“Are you lying, baby?” I asked and she shook her head.“You really did. Aunt Freya was there,” she insisted. “We can call her.”I thought it would destroy her trust in me if I did call Freya. I had no reason not to so I decided to trust her. Still… “We should ask your dad.”“Okay!” She grinned from ear to ear like she knew he would agree already. Perhaps she was a daddy’s girl. That hurt. I was the one who carried her for 9 months. “Oh it will be so fun. My friends from school will all be there and there is bicycles and camp beds.”I groaned at that because I thought of the bed bugs. What type of camp was it anyway? I wondered and looked around for my phone. Or anyone else’s for that matter. Strange, I didn’t think I had seen or used one since I woke up.“Do you have a phone?” I asked Lei

Veldana’s POVThere was something sexy about watching a man set up a workspace. I was not sure why he needed to arrange all the items he needed in a straight line on the vanity or why he needed to adjust the chair until it was just the right height but I stood by the door of the bathroom and watched anyway because why not? And if it made me feel like a peeping tom, I simply reminded myself that we were mates.“I can feel you staring,” he told me while testing the water temperature.“I was not trying to hide it,” I answered and he turned to me. The same desire running through me was reflected in the depths of his eyes.“Come here and have a sit,” he demanded and I did as I was told immediately. Something told me I would do anything this man asked of me.“Is this warm enough?” He asked testing the water at the back of my hand.“Mm hmm,” I answered awkwardly. It was strange the way he was hovered above me but if he noticed, he didn’t let on. First, he took a brush and gently took it thro

Maurice’s POVI lost control. I lost control while kissing Vel. And most amazingly, I kissed Vel and she had allowed me to. A smile was forming on my face but I tried to control it. I did not need to be labelled a creep. As I walked to the nurses, I realize I could have just called them in but it was better this way. I needed time to breathe for a minute. It had been years since I last kissed Vel. Kissed anyone in fact, that was why it was so intense. I knew it would be out of the ordinary. I remembered our kisses from before but I mostly thought I was exaggerating it. Now I knew I was not. If anything, my anger made me downplay the efficiency of locking lips with her. The sheer thrill of it and it’s effect on my body and senses causing a nervous shot down.I had wanted to take it slow so this new development meant I had to think carefully about the next step forward and plan accordingly. But, rational thought was currently impossible because my heart was still beating a mile a minut

Veldana’s POVMaurice was not here. I know I told him I needed space but Leila wanted him to see her off. I thought he would at least come for her. “Mum,” Leila called from inside the bus and even though it took a minute for me to remember I was the one she was talking to, I answered with a smile.“When I get back, maybe you and dad would have made up,” she said, causing me to be taken aback.“Why do we need to make up?”“Because you got in a fight?”“Why do you think that?” I wondered faking a frown.“He called last night and said he would not be able to make it, and he apologized. And you are not mad that he is not here so you knew.”Well, she was observant, I would give her that. Still, I did not want her to go to camp with it.“Baby, adults get into little spats but it does not mean we had a fight. We’ll be fine before you know it so go on and have fun.”“Okay, mummy,” she held out her arm through the window and I stepped into it, giving her an awkward hug. “I love you,” she told
