Semua Bab Alpha Regrets After Banishing Me And Taking My Son: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Hazel’s POVUlysses was nothing but a monster. What was he even thinking, trying to take my son from me? After Kimberley returned, he treated me with cold words and cruelty right after I gave birth, and I told myself I could endure it. But when he tried to take my child from me, it was as if he were tearing the flesh from my own body.The pain in my stomach was so sharp it stole my breath, yet even that was nothing compared to the cruelty in his heart. Clutching my aching body, I forced myself out of bed.I had to find him. I had to confront him, my final struggle.Then I saw them.Ulysses had his arm around Kimberley’s waist, supporting her like she might break. His face was soft in a way I’d never seen before. Gentle. Caring. The way I’d dreamed he might look at me someday.Kimberley leaned into him, her head on his shoulder. She looked perfect—not a hair out of place, her dress clean and pressed. For someone who’d supposedly been held prisoner for three years, she looked remarkably

Hazel’s POVI pressed Liam against my chest, every fiber of my being screaming no as Alice reached for him. His tiny fingers curled around my hospital gown, and his soft baby sounds made something roar inside me.“Please,” I whispered. “He’s still nursing. He needs—”“Luna Fiona says the child comes with me now.”Alice’s voice had changed since yesterday. No more “Yes, Luna” or careful bows. Now she looked at me like I was beneath her.So this was how quickly respect died. One word from Fiona and I became trash to be swept away.I tightened my grip. “He’s my baby!”“Not anymore.” Alice grabbed his blanket and tugged, but I held him tighter.Liam started crying—that sharp newborn wail that went straight through me. My body responded before my mind could, milk letting down, breasts aching to comfort him.Even my body knew he belonged with me. Why couldn’t they see it?Uma stepped forward, her face twisting with pain as she stepped between us. “Alice, stop. He’s crying!”At least someone

Ulysses’s POVMy father, Alpha Benjamin, watched me from across the room as I stood at the window of the border outpost, staring out at the forest where Hazel would soon disappear.“You made a mistake,” he said quietly.Here we go. The lecture I’d been expecting.I didn’t turn around. “I protected this pack from a traitor.”“Did you?” His footsteps crossed the creaking floorboards until he joined me at the window. “Because from where I stand, you just banished the most suitable Luna we’ve ever had.”Suitable? He thought Hazel was suitable?“Suitable?” I finally faced him, anger flaring in my chest. “She hired rogues to kidnap her own sister. She’s a calculating bitch who—”“Who served this pack faithfully for three years,” Benjamin interrupted. “Who never complained when you treated her like a duty instead of a wife. Who gave you an heir and asked for nothing in return.”“She asked for plenty. She wanted love she didn’t deserve.”“She deserved all of it, Ulysses. She gave you an heir.”

Hazel’s POVI stared at the commission letter, my fingers trembling as countless emotions crashed through me. Then I crumpled it up and threw it toward the trash, as if that could make this nightmare disappear.If only it were that simple. If only I could throw away six years of pain that easily.Elena calmly walked over and retrieved the paper, smoothing out the wrinkles. Her keen eyes missed nothing—not my shaking hands, not the way I’d turned away from her.She knew. Of course she knew something was wrong.“What’s wrong?” she asked softly.I kept my back to her, not trusting my voice. “The patient I’m supposed to treat…he’s my former mate.”Elena was quiet for a long moment. “The one who exiled you.”“Yes.”“The father of your son.”The man who stole my son.“Yes.” My voice cracked on the word.Elena set the letter down carefully. “And now he needs your help.”Now the mighty Alpha needed help from the woman he’d thrown away like garbage.I wrestled with myself internally. Should I a

Hazel’s POVThe rogue’s blood was still warm on my hands when I knelt by the lake to wash it away. He’d jumped me just as I reached Thunderstrike territory, thinking a lone female would be easy prey.He’d been wrong.My hands shook as I scrubbed the crimson from my fingers. Not from fear—from rage.How dare he try to hurt me when I was so close to seeing my son?Six years ago, I would have cried after killing someone. Now I felt nothing but satisfaction watching his body float downstream.What had they made me into?The water was ice cold, shocking against my heated skin. I splashed it on my face, checking my reflection to make sure Elena’s glamour held. Sharp cheekbones, heavily-lidded eyes, a stranger’s face stared back.My throat tightened. This wasn’t me anymore. I’d become someone else entirely.I dried my hands and walked toward the border, each step bringing me closer to the territory that had destroyed me. My chest clenched with every footfall.The guards stepped forward as I a
