All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: I want her back!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Valerie POVDays passed, yet I could not shake off the thoughts of what Alpha Xavier had said to me. His words clung to my mind like a curse. No matter how hard I tried to push them away, they returned, over and over again, echoing in my head until my chest felt tight.“Valerie, are you okay?” Sarah asked.A faint smile formed on my lips as I shook my head slightly.“No, I’m perfectly okay,” I lied softly. “I was just lost in deep thought, that’s all.”Sarah studied me for a moment, her eyes filled with concern. Then she nodded, as if she believed me or chose to.She stood up and returned with a lilac-colored dress, placing it in my hands. I stared at it, confused, my gaze moving from the dress back to her.“What is this for?” I asked.“Get dressed,” she said cheerfully. “We’re going to pay Alpha Xavier a visit.”I froze. Slowly, I lifted my eyes to hers. Our gazes met, and she smiled, shrugging her shoulders as if it were nothing.My mind raced. Why were we going to his mansion? How

Alpha Sebastian POVFor a few long minutes, I remained silent, saying nothing. The room felt heavy, thick with truth. I already knew what had happened, but knowing was not enough. I needed proof, solid evidence I could use when the time was right. What Eva had given me was more than enough. Not only had Helen impersonated Valerie, she had destroyed lives, shattered bonds, and spilled blood to protect her lies. Still, I would not expose her yet. No. I would enjoy this game and play it to the very end.“Is that all?” I asked coldly.She nodded in agreement, her head lowering.“My Lord,” she pleaded, “please let her face the same fate as my brother. She ruined his life. All my brother wanted was to be with the woman he loved. Helen knew that if Bernard ever told the truth, she would be executed. That is why she killed him.”She wiped the tears from her eyes, her shoulders shaking. Seconds passed. Then minutes. I did not respond. I did not comfort her. I did not move.Slowly, I turned to

Helen POVThe night felt endless as I tossed and turned in my bed. Sleep refused to come. Frustrated, I sat up and reached for the lantern beside me,but it wasn’t there.My heart began to race.I sensed it then, a presence.A dark figure sat at the edge of my bed. Panic surged through me. Without thinking, I slid my hand under the mattress and grabbed the knife I always kept hidden there. Just as my fingers tightened around the hilt, a familiar voice whispered through the darkness.“A curse to our kind,evil to us all. You will pay for your sins.”The voice was soft, almost gentle, yet sharp enough to cut through my bones. Suddenly, the room vanished. I was standing at the edge of a cliff. Before I could scream, a hand pushed me from behind. I fell endlessly into a dark pit. I looked up, and there she was.Valerie.She was smiling at me,I gasped and jolted awake, my chest heaving as I struggled for breath. I shot up from the bed just as my maid rushed in, holding a lantern high.“My la

Alpha Xavier POVWhy was it so hard to make her accept me? I had never been rejected like this before. No one had ever turned me down the way Valerie did,again and again. Each rejection pushed me closer to the edge. It was driving me insane, tearing at my pride, clawing at my mind. Yet the more she refused me, the more I wanted her. I wanted her for myself, wanted to keep her, wanted to prove that I was nothing like the man who had treated her like trash. I would stop at nothing to have her.I leaned closer, reaching for her hand, desperate to feel her warmth, but she pulled away instantly, putting distance between us. My heart skipped painfully. I stepped forward again, unable to stop myself, but she stretched out her hands, stopping me in my tracks.“It would be better if you took me back to Alpha Sebastian,” she said, her voice trembling but firm, “than for you to keep bringing this up again and again. I’ve asked you countless times did you save me just because you wanted me for yo

Alpha Sebastian POV“My Lord.”I felt a hand shaking me as I struggled to open my eyes. I didn’t know how long I had been lying on the floor, a bottle of liquor still clutched in my hand. All I knew was that I didn’t want to wake up to face the harsh reality that Valerie was gone.“Hm…” I muttered, pulling the hand away weakly.But the voice didn’t stop.“My Lord,” Owen called again.slowly, I opened my eyes. He was standing just a few inches from my face, his expression tight with concern. I groaned and pushed myself up from the floor, my body heavy, my head pounding. As soon as I sat up, a sharp pain stabbed through my skull.I darted my gaze toward him.“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice rough and hoarse.I tried to stand, but the pain in my head nearly sent me back to the ground. I clenched my jaw and steadied myself.“You have a meeting with the council of elders,” Owen said.I froze.“A meeting?” I muttered, narrowing my eyes as I turned fully to face him. Something about
