All Chapters of THE ALPHA REGRETS: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

CHAPTER ONEEmber Valen was famous for two things:Her wildfire spiritAnd her endless scandals.She was a storm in human form.She had cliff-dived off Amalfi’s highest rocks, raced stolen sports cars through neon Hong Kong nights, danced until dawn in Berlin’s rooftop clubs, and changed boyfriends as easily as changing outfits.If there was a wild thing to do, she had done it.Which was exactly why everyone was shocked when her family announced an arranged marriage between her…And Alpha Ryker Hale—The living textbook of rigidity and order.Ember snorted when she heard the news.“Trying to get me engaged? Try again.”She meant it too—right up until her father cut off her credit cards, her motorcycles, and every one of her escape routes.So, under protest, Ember agreed to meet the man she had already decided she would hate.And, of course, she decided to make an entrance.On the day of her engagement dinner, she went partying.At midnight, Ember was onstage at a high-end underground

CHAPTER THREE“Let go of me!”Her fists and legs swung roughly as he lifted her and carried her to the car.The scene brought fresh memories to her mind.It was the same way he had lifted her on the first day they met.But the difference was that this time there wasn’t even a bit of gentleness on his face—only hate and coldness.Tears welled up in her eyes before she could stop them.Ryker was momentarily dazed.Without even realizing it, he reached out to wipe her tears but stopped midway.She was the one in the wrong—clearly she was only putting on an act for him.Ember wanted to laugh when she saw him put his arm down.If it were before, he would have calmly wiped her tears even if his face was devoid of any emotion.What now?Was he tired of pretending to love her?When they arrived at the hospital, Linda was lying on the bed, her face pale. Immediately she saw Ember, she tugged at Ryker’s arm, her face filled with terror.“Ryker, why did you bring her here? Her face looks scary.”

CHAPTER FIVERyker’s face turned grim with anger.“Was that why you spread rumours online that she’s a homewrecker? Do you know how much damage that caused to her career? She literally cut her wrists when she couldn’t take it anymore.”“I didn’t spread any rumours, but whoever did that deserves an award,” Ember said hotly.Ryker’s face was livid with rage.“Ember!”Grabbing her wrist, he shoved his phone in her face. On the screen was a post her best friend, Pearl, had made, accusing Linda of being a homewrecker. Surprisingly, the post had gained over a thousand engagements.It seemed not many people hated her after all.“What? That’s what she gets for trying to be a homewrecker. And before you ask, I didn’t tell her to post that,” Ember insisted stubbornly.She hadn’t really asked Pearl to post it, but Pearl must have been so angry that she did it on her own.Ryker immediately took her phone from her handbag and handed it to her.“Make a post saying she isn’t a homewrecker.”Ember st

CHAPTER SEVENEmber woke to the sharp scent of disinfectant.A hospital.Before she could process anything else, a familiar face rushed into her view.“Ember!” Pearl cried, tears streaming down her cheeks as she grabbed her hand. “You scared me to death. I thought you wouldn’t wake up.”Ember blinked slowly, her head throbbing as if it were splitting apart. She scanned the room, the beeping machines confirming what she already knew.“That bastard Alpha,” Pearl snapped, anger blazing through her tears. “How dare he treat you like that? And your father God, I wish I could kill him.”Pearl paced beside the bed, fists clenched.“You’ve never known injustice your entire life, but ever since you married him, it’s been nothing but humiliation. Over and over again.”Ember tightened her grip on Pearl’s hand and managed a faint, bitter smile.“I’m fine,” she said softly.Then, after a pause, “At least this taught me something. I have no one but myself… and you. I don’t care about them anymore.
