Semua Bab Alpha's Regret After I Left : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Nat's POVI slump into my chair after finishing my last check and take a long deep breath. My phone buzzes on the table right at this moment.Sighing, I lean forward to glance at the reminder on the screen.Erina Popov's birthday.A high-class lady. She was my patient, now recovered, and is throwing a pool party to celebrate both.Closing my eyes, I press my fingers against my throbbing temple. Last night, it’s safe to say I didn’t catch a wink, and now the consequences are clear.I shake my head as if to chase away the exhaustion that fills my bones, my gaze still fixed on the screen. Attending wasn’t part of my plan. Leaving my old life behind means also letting go of parties and anything high class in general. Sending a gift to Erina would have been perfect and polite.My hand tightens into a fist.No.I change my mind.If I am going back, I won’t crawl home. I’ll make an entrance, and this party is the first step.I check the time, my eyes shining. There is still plenty of it. I g

It's difficult to believe she would do such a thing in public. "I don't need you to tell me what to do," I say, my voice coming out more forceful.She suddenly flinches, and Ivan pulls her to his arm, saying reproachfully, "Nat, she's just looking out for you. Do you have to be this harsh?""Tearing the invitation card is looking out for me?"He nods. "Leave quickly and stop being embarrassing. Being headstrong does you no good. You're just an Omega; if you're caught trespassing, not only will you block your own way, but also make others look down on you."Clearly, he will die on the hill that I and Erina have nothing to do with each other.Thalie speaks at this moment. "Do you really want us to call the security?""I don't mind." Whoever they call here, I'm certain they'll end up humiliating themselves. "Call whoever you want.""Alright," as if she'd won a bet, her eyes gleam and she waves the security forward.She points at me and explains with conviction that I have a fake invitati

Nat's POVMy hand quietly forms a clench beside me, nails digging into my palm as I listen to the confession of his 'pure' friend.Noelle's disgust couldn’t be any more obvious. [What a shameless worm.]Ivan's soft voice echoes from the other side, the harshness he has when he speaks to me? Gone. Like it never exists.Instead, all that is left is a tinge of surprise as he calls out to her. “Thalie...”There is rustling on the other side, a groan, the sound of skin touching, then Thalie continues. “I love him, Nat. And I wouldn’t be a coward who hides her feeling. He treats me well. When I am sick, he is by my side. When things are dark for me, he doesn’t hesitate to lit it up with his presence. He… is the light that's shining in my heart. I’m being sincere right now. I love him as a person. And as a friend.”The audacity to spit all this and then add the friendship label catches my tongue for several seconds. And when my voice recovers, all that slips past my lips is a hoarse word.“A

Nat’s POV“Defensive. You keep acting like a shrew and all, even insulting Thalie. Look, I actually wanted to ask you; since you’re a doctor, regarding what Thalie should take for her cold. But you just wouldn’t pick up your phone to be helpful.”The absurdity of his words makes my stomach churn even harder. I stare into his eyes, fingers digging into my nails. “Do you seriously have no idea who pushed me into the pool and how I caught this cold, huh?”He looks at me, puzzled.I take a deep breath, trying to regulate my emotions. “You know what? You’re a lost cause.”I turn sharply, desperate for space and clean air, but he grabs my sleeve again. His pull is forceful, and I’m caught off guard.His other arm instinctively shoots out, catching me around the waist. His firm grip, once familiar, now feels like a violation that makes my skin crawl.“Where are you going without answering my question?” he demands, voice hard.I want to say something, snap back, shove his hand away, remind hi

Nat's POVThalie crosses her legs, her voice filled with arrogance even though she is smiling. "I hope you realize now that I'm more than qualified for this position." The supervisor gives an awkward chuckle. “Well! Natasha will be with us for one more month. Plenty of time for you to learn the ropes together.”“She is planning to resign?” Ivan speaks, his gaze snapping to me, his voice laced with surprise. I ignore him, instead flipping through the files in my hand.He averts his gaze when the supervisor answers. “Yes. Unfortunately. She is one of our hardest workers. I’ll miss her dearly. But one can’t stand in the way of greatness. Wherever Natasha goes, she’ll excel. I know that." Thalie snorts, the sound filled with ridicule.The supervisor’s gaze moves between us, and one could almost see the question mark on her forehead.I shake my head. “I’ll take my leave now.”The supervisor nods, yet Thalie raises her hand. “How about I come with you? I would love to observe." Ivan qui
