All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Aria's POV I read the message on the monitor's screen one more time. A few days left, it said. My fingers hovered uselessly above the keyboard, the hum of the computer fan sounding louder now. Outside the office, the production unit roared on, Maya putting the work for the day. But here, I was alone–staring at a threat I wished never to share with her. My chair creaked softly as I leaned back, staring up at the ceiling as I tried to breathe past the tightness in my chest.The acting mayor had just crossed the line.My wolf growled in growing anger, and my jaw clenched. If Vera wanted to play this game, then I'd drag her into the light. I straightened abruptly, the chair scraping back as I stood. Then I picked up my phone from the desk. I stopped right then, to think. I needed to have evidence against her if I were to come out openly, or she'd definitely deny everything. But if I called her and recorded our conversation. That was the trick. My pulse spiked as I unlocked the p

Aria's POVOne moment I was kneeling in front of Liam, and the next, Maya and I were striding toward the car. I didn't remember unlocking the car or sliding into the driver's seat. But I was there, and the engine was roaring. My hands locked around the steering wheel as I drove, shooting out of the school gates like something chased me. The Ashkara Circle.The name continued to echo in my head as I drove. I couldn't imagine the members of that secret coven using my little angel for their evil purposes. They couldn't even wait for her to become a little older. I had told no one about my latest discovery, not even Maya. So she was sitting beside me with knowledge of half of the story, not the full one. I knew Vera was connected to it all somehow, but I just couldn't link it all yet. My car turned left, then right. Another sharp bend followed and soon, we were deep in the streets of Silvermoon District–blurred into streaks of concrete and storefronts. Traffic lights up ahead shifte

Aria's POVI shot a brief glance at Maya, then turned back to Frost. "The Ashkara Circle somehow believes that Luna is–" "Special," Maya completed.Frost nodded slowly, his brows furrowed like he expected to hear something better. "Yeah. Aria told me that the other day." "Liam said Luna gave hints that she'd be at the Ashkara Circle," I continued, my eyes fixed on a young kid stepping out of a truck. "And that she'd be back soon." Then I looked directly at him. "You look...startled, Frost." He shook his head once, looking away from me. "I am startled indeed." This made me sit up at once, suddenly feeling desperate. "Come on, tell me what you know." He looked into my eyes. "I know nothing much, I'm sorry. But my Beta does." Frost dragged a hand down his face, exhaling through his nose. "I only found out last night. His mother..." He paused briefly. "She happens to be a secret member of the coven."A chill instantly slid down my spine, and I felt completely desperate for inform

Aria’s POVI forced a slow breath through my nose. "Look, Kyril. We...talk later, okay?" I said, trying to keep my tone steady. "I'm really kind of in the middle of something right now." My thumb hovered over the icon meant to end the call on the screen–ready to end it and sink back into the uncomfortable dread that had wrapped itself around my ribs. But his voice stopped me from doing so."Wait." There was something different about his tone in that word. It lacked the basic charm and warmth I had accustomed his voice to possessing. Rather, it sounded...hesitant.He cleared his throat. "I... there's uhm... something I wanted to tell you." I swallowed, my eyes fixed on the road ahead. The taillights of Frost's sedan glowed against the black stretch of the night."Uhm, okay," I replied, already exhausted.He exhaled softly, then let out a chuckle. "Look. I know this may sound a bit hurried and all." He paused, then dropped what meant to be a bombshell. "Would you go on a date with

Aria's POV"You should be careful about how you speak to me," Vera said to Maya, her tone flattening into something cold and lethal. "Keep your damn mouth shut, little girl. Or you'll join the party." My heart pounded even harder. "Luna," I whispered, barely even able to form the word. "Is–is she with you?" There was silence again. Then she spoke. "The little girl is safe," Vera replied smoothly. "For the meantime." Relief flooded me so quickly. But it was poisoned by Vera's next words. "You, however, need to step out of that car." I glanced at Maya with widened eyes. "I sent one of the rogues to escort you," Vera went on casually. "You met him–large, ugly, and with a great deal of horrible manners." My stomach twisted, and I shut my eyes. "But," she continued, a slight hint of irritation creeping into her voice. "I changed my mind at the last minute, as your dear friend here tried to attack me. That's very rude, don't you think?" A spark of panic flared through me."What d
