All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Aria's POV"Momma?" It was Luna's small voice. Both she and Liam soon crawled into my arms, wrapping themselves around me as if they'd sensed the storm that knocked me out. Warm tears slipped down my cheeks, and I held them tighter, burying my face in their hair. "Momma's here," I whispered, though it felt like I was saying it to myself too. I loosened my grip on the twins slowly. I was afraid that if I moved too fast, I might shatter the fragile calm settled over us."Momma," Liam muttered as his fingers slipped from my sleeve first. Then, Luna's arms slid away from my waist as they sank back into the cushions. She was already half-lost to sleep again. Pushing myself upright, my body went stiff, my head humming faintly. The first thing I saw was the wall clock. A little past midnight. This meant I had been unconscious for hours. My gaze snapped back to the twins. They were curled together on the couch, their limbs tangled, and their faces totally peaceful and unaware. I shot

Aria's POV "Not bad for your first day as a proper staff," I said lightly, tilting my head. One corner of his mouth lifted. "Hey, I'm an Alpha wolf. Wouldn't come here and mess myself up now, would I?" I laughed lightly, noting as his gaze sharpened and lowered just a fraction. "You good?" he asked. I nodded. "Yeah. Much better than yesterday." "Good," he said simply. "I guess we could make a whole lotta difference in two days." I nodded slowly, shooting a glance at the production floor. He wasn't aware of the amount left to make up the crazy bill, and I never wanted him to know about it. He'd done enough for us already. "Thanks for being here, Frost," I added quietly. "You're amazing." He didn't answer outrightly. Just held my gaze for a second longer than necessary. "Of course. Anytime," he finally said, giving off a light smile before turning away and walking towards the parked truck.The last crate soon slid into place in the truck with a hollow thud. Then, the engine of

Aria's POVI stepped closer. "Maya?" She slowly turned to me with stiff shoulders, and I slowly reached out and took the paper from her hand. Her fingers were cold. The moment my eyes skimmed the heading, my stomach dropped. It was from the Mayor's office. I read it once. Then again, slower as though the meaning of the words might change into something kinder if I gave it enough time. Of course they didn't. It still stung. It was a warning that they were coming. My grip tightened on the page as I took the details, then I lowered the paper slightly. "This... this just came in?" Maya finally looked up at me. There were dark circles under her eyes, evidence of sleep deprivation. "Just few minutes ago," she said quietly. "Courier dropped it off at the front desk. I was just filling in the ledger when it did.""Shouldn't be a surprise, should it?"She shook her head. " Of course not. We knew time was against us. It's still a two day time frame."My gaze flicked to the ledger still

Aria's POV"Just shut up you two!" I yelled at the twins as I hurried them down the hallway. I felt bad at this, and in the briefest of attempts to make it up to them, I turned around and planted kisses on their foreheads. "Momma's a little pissed off, that's all." "Momma–" Liam called. "Hush," I whispered, not unkindly, but sharp with urgency. "Shoes. Now." Luna's eyes were still glossy with half-asleep as I slipped her uniform over her head. I watched as Liam fumbled clumsily with his buttons. Impatiently, I fixed it for him, barely even noticing the way my hands shook. All I could think about was the Mayor's presence at the company. I needed to be there with Maya. Grabbing the twins' bags, I ushered them outside, bundling them into the car. The engine soon roared to life, and I drove like the road was just dissolving behind me. Traffic lights blurred, corners taken way faster than I should've dared in normal circumstances. My eyes were active and wide open despite the sleeple

Aria's POVI didn't answer the journalist. Instead, I stepped forward, my moments slow, as if any wrong step would shatter the fragile reality forming before my eyes. Kyril slowly let go of the Mayor, and the latter staggered back helplessly, his knees buckling. For a moment, I thought he'd collapse entirely, but he caught himself at the last second and straightened, his hands trembling violently, and his face pale and slick with sweat. "Everyone out!" the Mayor suddenly barked, his voice sharp with panic. "All journalists, leave the premises immediately!" He sure didn't want to be captured by the media as he presently was, but it was too late already. His command came out too fast and it reeked of desperation. His officials moved all at once, ushering and forcing the reporters away. Questions were shouted, cameras lifted in protest, but none of it mattered.One by one, they were all driven toward the gates, their presence evaporating until the grounds were silent once more.Only
