Semua Bab Alpha's Regret: I want her back!: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Valerie’s POVThe night felt endless as I tossed and turned on my bed. Sleep refused to come no matter how hard I tried. I kept forcing my mind to push the thought of Sebastian away, but it felt impossible. Every time I closed my eyes, his face appeared. I sighed in frustration, staring at the ceiling while time dragged on slowly and yet too fast at the same time. My body was tired, my heart heavier than my body, and before I realized it, exhaustion finally pulled me into a deep sleep.But when I opened my eyes again, I was no longer in my room, I found myself standing in the middle of nowhere. Tall bushes surrounded me on all sides, thick and dark, as though they were closing in. The air felt strange, heavy, and suddenly I sensed danger. Then I felt it heat. A raging fire was rushing toward me, fierce and uncontrollable. Fear shot through my body. I lifted my dress and ran as fast as my legs could carry me, my heart pounding violently in my chest. I searched desperately for an esca

Helen’s POVWhen I got the news that Alpha Sebastian was returning to the pack, my heart leapt with excitement, but fear followed almost immediately. What if he was coming back with Valerie? What if she had decided to return with him? That thought alone made my chest tighten with anger. I was already at my limit, and I didn’t need anyone pushing me any further.But when he finally arrived, he came back alone.For a moment, I stood frozen, then I let out a slow, careful breath. I tried my best to hide the joy that surged through my heart. Watching him step into his chambers without her by his side felt like victory, sweet, undeniable victory. I followed him closely, hoping this would be my chance. Maybe now I could console him, comfort him, make him see that I was the one meant to stand beside him. Maybe this time, he would finally look at me and recognize me as his mate, but he didn’t.No matter what I said or did, he refused to give me that chance. He pushed me away as if I meant noth

Valerie’s POV“What?” Helen shrieked as she shot up from her seat, charging straight at me.Her hand flew up, aiming for my face, but I was faster. I caught her wrist midair and shoved it aside with enough force to make her stumble back a step. Rage burned fiercely in her eyes, raw and uncontrollable.“How dare you!” she screamed. “Who do you think you are to walk in here and demand that I be reduced to the status of a slave? I am your Lu—”I cut her off before she could finish.“Do you need a reminder?” I asked calmly, “I was once Luna. That was my title. My position. And you think that just because you sat in my place for a while, they would suddenly respect you?”I stepped closer, closing the distance between us. Her confidence faltered, fear flickering briefly in her eyes.“I came back to take what rightfully belongs to me,” I continued coldly. “And you will learn how to speak to me with respect.”Helen’s gaze darted toward Alpha Sebastian, desperation written all over her face, as t

Helen’s POVMy heart pounded violently against my chest as I rushed out of the courtroom. I had been this close, this close to getting caught, this close to losing everything I had worked so hard to build. Fear clawed at my throat as I hurried down the corridor and burst into my chambers, slamming the door shut behind me. My hands trembled uncontrollably as I leaned against it, trying to steady my breathing.Just a few minutes ago, I was happy. Truly happy. I had convinced myself that Valerie was gone for good, that she would never return to my life again. But just like always, she knew exactly how to ruin everything for me. She always did.Not even ten minutes later, my door burst open again and my parents rushed in. I moved quickly, locking it behind them, as though the walls themselves might betray me. My legs felt weak, my heart still racing from the shock of everything that had just happened.“What do I do, Mother?” I asked, my voice shaking despite my attempt to sound composed.

Alpha Xavier POVIt had been days long, unbearable days, since the men I had sent to watch over Valerie brought back any real news about her. Each time they returned, they looked defeated, avoiding my gaze, feeding me empty reports that led nowhere. Nothing they said made sense, and nothing they brought back satisfied me. I needed to know how she was doing, where she was, what she was doing at that very moment, and not knowing was slowly eating me alive.Their failure only fueled my frustration, and when I realized they were either hiding something or were simply incompetent, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I would disguise myself and search for Valerie myself. No more waiting. No more lies.That very night, I quietly left my chambers, my beta following closely behind me. We moved through the corridors without drawing attention and soon got into the car, driving straight to the place where she had been staying. My heart pounded as we arrived, but the moment I stepped out,
