Alle Kapitel von Alpha's Regret: I want her back!: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Valeria POVIt’s been a few weeks since I arrived here weeks of torture, weeks of being drained. I couldn’t blame it on anything but fate. I was destined to die mateless. Yet thoughts kept flooding my mind. Could I escape this place? Maybe, if I attacked, I could run back to my family’s house. Maybe my father would accept me. But then I remembered how they sent me off to this ruthless tyrant. I could only sigh, frustrated, and accept my fate.A knock on the door jolted me from my thoughts.“Come in,” I muttered, throwing myself onto the bed.A masculine voice echoed into my ears, and I quickly sat up. A guard stood before me.“My lady, Alpha Sebastian requests your presence in the throne room,” he muttered.I froze. Why would Alpha Sebastian request me there? The only times he ever wanted to see me were in his bed and afterward, he pushed me out like nothing.I forced a smile, nodded. “Give me a few minutes,” I whispered. He bowed and left. Instantly, I rose, adjusted my dress, and sl

Valeria POV“Do you wish to get yourself killed, or have you lost your mind?”The voice crashed into me just as strong hands yanked me back from the ledge. I stumbled, stunned, my breath tearing out of my chest as I turned to face him.He wasn’t familiar. I was sure of it. I would have remembered a face like his.His gray eyes held both storm and silence pale like winter steel, darkening when his gaze sharpened. They missed nothing. When they locked onto me, it felt like being stripped bare, measured, and somehow understood.His jaw was sharp and firm, softened by a mouth that knew control as much as command. A thin scar cut through his brow, not threatening, but telling a story he never shared. His dark hair fell in careless disorder, as if rules simply bent around him. He smelled like clean wind and smoke.“I’m talking to you,” he snapped. “Do you have a death wish?”His grip tightened around my left arm. Pain shot through me, and a broken moan slipped from my lips before I could st

Valerie POVTears slipped from my eyes as I hurriedly wiped them away with the back of my palm. My chest felt tight as I took a deep breath, drawing in the fresh breeze brushing against my skin, trying to steady myself. Suddenly, a sharp pain tore through my abdomen. My vision blurred, my knees weakened, and I nearly lost my balance. I fought to stay upright but then a strong arm wrapped firmly around my waist.I turned, and the moment our eyes met, I froze. My heart stuttered. The closeness was suffocating, painfully awkward. Panic flared inside me, and I quickly pulled away from him.“Are you alright?” Alpha Xavier asked. His voice was low, laced with concern I hadn’t expected. I could feel his worry pressing down on me, but I shook my head anyway. A weak, fragile smile forced itself onto my lips.“I’m fine. I guess maybe it’s because I stayed too long in the wooden box,” I muttered, my voice barely steady. My gaze flickered toward the box before snapping back to him, as if it still

Alpha Sebastian POVI was summoned to a court meeting, but my mind refused to stay there. Every thought circled back to Xavier and Valerie. The image of them together stabbed into my chest like a blade. Rage burned through me. I ended the meeting without warning and returned to my chambers, my thoughts spiraling out of control.The idea of Xavier touching her shattered something inside me. I wanted Valerie beneath me, broken, obedient, a slave to my will. I wanted her to suffer for the sins she committed years ago. I wanted her to beg.For a long time, I had blamed myself for my sister’s death, punishing my body and mind with endless pain. But the truth was clear now. Valerie was responsible. She killed my sister. And the only way to repay that debt was through suffering, slow, merciless suffering.Yet even in my hatred, desire twisted through me like poison. I wanted her alive. I wanted her near me. I didn’t want her to escape my sight or my control.Lost in those thoughts, I heard a

Valerie POV“I’ll go see who’s at the door,” Sarah said.Fear gripped me instantly. My heart began to race, and my thoughts spiraled. What if it was Alpha Sebastian? What if he had sent people to drag me back? Panic took over. Ignoring the sharp pain still twisting in my abdomen, I quickly hid under the bed, forcing myself to stay silent.Sarah stepped outside. I listened carefully, my breath shallow. I didn’t hear any voices at first. Minutes passed, slow and heavy. Then she came back inside, laughing loudly as she spoke to someone. My body stiffened.The voice that answered her felt familiar.I was sure I had heard it before, somewhere, sometime but my fear wouldn’t let me think clearly.“She was seated here before. Where could she have gone?” Sarah asked, calling out my name.“Valerie!”I didn’t respond. Fear locked my throat. The trauma I had suffered at the hands of my sister had taught me to fear everything, every voice, every shadow. I couldn’t hide forever, though. My body tre
