Lahat ng Kabanata ng Family's Regret After She Kneels: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Aurora’s POVIt was late at night, quiet except for the sound of wind brushing against the trees outside. I was sitting on the couch, scrolling through my phone, half expecting that Alpha Gray wouldn’t return until morning. Then, through the silence, I heard the low rumble of a car engine outside the gate.My heart jumped. He’s back.I stood quickly and moved to the door. The porch light flickered on as I reached for the handle. When I opened the door, the sight in front of me froze me in place.A woman stood close to Alpha Gray. Her hands were on his chest, her body pressed against his, her mouth on his.For a moment, I couldn’t move. My breath caught in my throat.Alpha Gray pushed her away roughly. His voice came out cold. “Elise, stop. Don’t do that.”The woman laughed softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “What? It’s not like we haven’t done this before.”Gray’s jaw tightened. “Don’t mess around. We broke up, remember?”She tilted her head, her eyes glinting with ar

Aurora’s POVThe air between us felt heavier now. The strip of lace still rested in Alpha Gray’s hand, his thumb tracing the soft edge as if memorizing it. My heart thudded unevenly, and I couldn’t decide whether to be mortified or thrilled.“I said it’s nothing,” I murmured again, though my voice didn’t sound convincing even to my own ears.His eyes lifted to mine, steady and unreadable, and the corner of his mouth tilted slightly. “Nothing, hm?” he repeated, his voice quiet, but carrying that teasing weight that always made my pulse race. “Then I can’t wait to see what something looks like.”I turned away quickly, heat rushing up my neck. “You’re impossible,” I muttered, trying to snatch the lace from him, but he moved faster, slipping it behind his back.His free hand slid along my jaw, his fingers tilting my chin back toward him. The small smile softened into something deeper. “You don’t have to hide from me, Aurora,” he said quietly. “If I’m honest… I can’t stop thinking about

Aurora’s POVI closed my bedroom door and leaned my forehead against the wood. The latch clicked, and the quiet wrapped around me. My chest felt tight, the way it does after running too far. Elise’s words kept replaying, I hated that it got to me. I hated that it made me feel small.Blue shifted inside me, steady and blunt. Don’t sulk. Do something.“I’m not sulking,” I muttered, pushing away from the door. You’re thinking too much, Blue said. He chose you. You felt it. You know it.“I know,” I said, though a tiny ache still sat in my ribs. “It still hurts.”Then change the feeling, she answered. Surprise him. Be bold. Watch an adult video, she said, voice smooth as water. Techniques. Confidence. You’ve spent enough time blushing over him, time to learn how to make him blush more.My mouth fell open. “Blue!” I hissed out loud, my face flaming. “You can’t just say things like that!”Why not? she said, calm and amused. You’re mates. You think he hasn’t imagined it? You want to be clos

Aurora’s POVI stood in the bathroom for a few minutes, trying to breathe past the dull ache twisting in my stomach.The warmth of the water running in the sink did little to help. I pressed a hand against my abdomen and sighed.Blue was quiet in my mind, but I could sense her mild concern. You should tell him, she said softly. He’ll understand.“I know,” I murmured. “I just… it’s embarrassing.”You think he’ll be angry?“No.” I swallowed. “Disappointed, maybe.”After a moment, I turned off the tap and looked at my reflection. My cheeks were still flushed from earlier, my hair a tangled mess, my heart still pounding for all the wrong reasons.I opened the door slowly. Alpha Gray was standing near the door, worry written across his face.He looked up immediately when he saw me. “Aurora?”I tugged the edge of my robe tighter around me, unable to meet his eyes. “I’m sorry,” I said quietly. “I didn’t mean to make you worry.”“What happened?” His voice gentled, but the concern didn’t fade.

Alpha Gray’s POVThe morning came bright and cold. The first true frost of the season had settled overnight, silvering the rooftops and turning the grass brittle beneath the light.I woke before dawn, too restless to stay in bed.Alfred stirred almost immediately, his voice low and eager in my mind. Today, he said. She’s coming home.“Not yet,” I reminded him, pulling on a shirt. “We still have to go get her first.”Then let’s move, he replied, impatient as ever. I want to see Blue. I’ve waited long enough.I couldn’t help but smile. You and me both.By six, I was at the airport. The world still felt half-asleep, the air smelling faintly of coffee and jet fuel. The plane took off smoothly, the hum of the engines steady and familiar beneath my feet.For the first time in weeks, my mind was quiet.Every problem, every report, every small irritation that usually occupied me had faded away. There was only one thought left: Aurora.In a few hours, she’d be back in my arms. Back home.I lea
