All Chapters of Family's Regret After She Kneels: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Helen’s POVWhen Keith said he would go and apologize to Aurora, I thought I had misheard him. I stared at him for a beat, waiting for the joke, the anger, the familiar irritation to surface. But none of that came. He looked tired. Like something had finally sunk in and refused to leave.My wolf shifted uneasily under my skin.Keith sat across from me, shoulders stiff, jaw tight. The Alpha aura around him was muted, dulled by the dungeon, the lashes, and something that looked like regret. “You really plan to do it?” I asked carefully. “Go there and apologize to her?”He didn’t answer right away. His fingers curled slowly into a fist, then loosened again.“I hit her,” he said. His voice was low. “The moment it happened… I knew.”I frowned. This wasn’t how he usually talked about things. Keith never lingered. He blamed, he judged, he moved on. This hesitation made my skin crawl.“I shouldn’t have done that,” he continued. “I keep seeing her face. The way she looked at me.”I swallowed.

Aurora’s POVWe left before dawn.The road to the airport was quiet. I watched the lights slide past the car window and tried not to think too much about it. Blue stayed close inside me, alert but calm. She didn’t like long journeys. Neither did I.Gray sat beside me, his presence steady. He didn’t talk much, just rested one arm where it could reach me if needed. I could feel his wolf, Alfred, watching everything around us. Protective and focused.After four hours in the air, the plane began to descend.The moment we landed in the southern Black Claw region, I felt it.The air was thicker and hotter. It carried the smell of dust, oil, and something sour underneath. My wolf stirred uneasily, ears flat, sensing danger before my mind caught up.The airport was small and crowded. People pushed past each other without apology. Raised voices clashed from every direction. Outside, the streets were worse.Trash piled along the roads. Cars cut in and out of traffic with no rules, horns blaring

Aurora’s POVJames stared at me like I was a joke he hadn’t expected.Then he laughed scornfully.“You really are ridiculous,” he said. “I thought you were just after Gray’s money, power, and status.” His eyes narrowed. “I didn’t think you’d actually fall in love with him.”“Is that all?” I asked.James’s smile twisted. “What? Don’t tell me you’re offended.”He took a step closer. “Go on. Use your magic. Show me how much you’ve ‘grown.’”The air shifted.Blue stirred inside me, alert and ready.James’s expression sharpened. “Or are you scared?”That was when he changed.Bones cracked. His body expanded. Fur burst through skin. In seconds, a dark wolf stood where James had been, eyes burning with stubborn pride and old madness.I exhaled slowly.“Blue,” I whispered.A flash of light rippled through my body as I shifted. Blue surged forward, powerful and calm, her blue-gray fur gleaming even in the dim light. Her eyes locked onto James’s wolf.James lunged.Blue dodged easily and slamme

Gray's POV James’s last insult hung in the air, sharp and ugly.I saw the moment it sank in for him. That flicker of hesitation, the tight pull at the corner of his mouth. He had gone too far. Even he could feel it now. The wolves in the room felt it too. The scent shifted from smug satisfaction to unease.Aurora didn’t react.No anger. No hurt. Not even disappointment.She stood there calmly, hands relaxed at her sides, her back straight. Her wolf was quiet but alert. Through our bond, I felt nothing but cool distance. Just… indifference.That alone was more cutting than any retaliation.Aurora looked around the room slowly, her gaze passing over Zaia, James, and the others as if she were counting them.“Are you finished?” she asked, her tone level. “If the humiliation is done, I’d like you to make way.”There was no accusation in her voice. No plea.It unsettled them more than shouting ever could.I stepped forward then.“Watch your words,” I said, keeping my voice calm. I didn’t r

Aurora ‘s POV I felt it before anyone spoke.The air around Gray shifted, heavy and sharp. Wolves were sensitive to that kind of pressure, especially when an Alpha was being summoned through a mind-link by someone stronger.Gray slowed, then stopped in the middle of the corridor.The soldiers behind us straightened at once. Sloane turned, her expression sharpening.I looked at him. “What is it?”He didn’t answer. His eyes unfocused, pupils darkening as his attention slipped elsewhere. The link between an Alpha and the King wasn’t something others were meant to feel.Yet I felt it anyway.Gray let out a quiet breath, more annoyed than tense. When his gaze cleared, there was no panic in it, just mild irritation.“They reported me,” he said.“For what?” I already knew, but I asked.“The jewelry.”My fingers curled at my side. I should’ve seen it coming.“They accused you of taking bribes,” I said softly.Gray shrugged. “I did.”My wolf stirred, uneasy and confused. Nothing about this ma
