The Alpha's Regret Came Too Late のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

Chapter 62 Damon POVI was outside, sweat pouring down my face and down my back as I split wood. There was enough wood to last for a month but I needed the distraction. Running to the town mall to pick up supplies and back to the house, didn’t do any good. I looked up, the sun was almost overhead, suddenly without warning, the image of her lips caressing my cheeks with a soft kiss flashed across my mind. It was so vivid and unexpected I had no chance to prepare myself for the onslaught. Goosebumps broke out on my skin and nearly dropped the axe on my foot.“Damn it.” I swore under my breath. I could my wolf pacing and panting in my chest. He was going to start howling soon. It took everything in me that night to keep the damn animal at bay when she kissed me. He was practically howling in my ears and I had to get out of there as quickly as possible.Her innocent smiled and twinkling eyes flashed across my mind and I shook my head vehemently. I chose another log, set on the stump and

Chapter 64Annabelle POV I heard the door close gently, his footsteps brisk and light as he went down the house. His footsteps sounded calm, like he was unaffected by what just transpired between us. I knew better, I heard the way his heart slammed against his chest so loudly it overshadowed mine. I was on the bed, staring at the ceiling while my thighs cradled a book. There was a knock on the door. “I’m going for a grocery run.” Damon’s gruff voice came through the door. Without waiting for my reply, he walked away. The next few minutes, the engine of his truck roared to life as he pulled out of the driveway. I started laughing, the suddenness of it had me on my back as my sides racked with laughter. I hooted as tears escaped my eyes. I wasn’t surprised by his action, I was expecting it but it didn’t take away the humor of the situation. Damon for all his seriousness and intensity was ruffled so badly by a kiss, he needed a timeout. After teasing him, to regain his composure

Chapter 66 Damon POVI sat with the letter for a long time after I finished reading it.I had no doubt about the letter. Tobias was the kind of man who said exactly what was happening and trusted you to understand why it mattered. Everything in those carefully written pages was real, I knew that before I finished the first paragraph. The question sitting in my chest wasn't whether to believe him; it was whether I wanted to.This wasn't the first letter he'd sent. That was the part I sat with longest, the part that was harder to look at directly. He had sent letters sparingly over the years. I had read and burned them without so much as a second thought. Except now.From somewhere down the hallway I heard Annabella say something to which Cal responded and then both of the

CHAPTER 68ANTONIO POV Nothing remained secret among packs forever. I had always known this; I knew it was a matter of time before word spread and the rumors started.Greenwood's search had been running long enough now that it had stopped being our private matter and become everyone else's public conversation. I knew this before I walked into the council chamber just like the way you knew a storm was afoot before the first drop of rain.I entered the chamber and read the room in the first ten seconds.Several Alphas offered greetings with the practiced ease of men who had already discussed me before my arrival. Others simply watched me cross the floor with an expectation of some drama.I took my seat and said nothing

Chapter 70Damon POVI was at the back, breaking logs when I heard someone come up my balcony. I made my way there and meet no one. Besides the welcome mat was an envelope. My heart thudded immediately. This wasn’t a good sign. I already knew who the letter was from without opening it. Tobias had always been big on security and precautions, two messages in less than two weeks said a lot. My mind went back to the last letter that was now ash and scattered to wherever the wind had taken them. Burning the letter was the easy part, forgetting the responsibilities it conveyed was the harder game.I opened the letter immediately as I entered the house. I sat down on the dinning table as I scanned through the letter. His message was still coded which hinted that he was still thinking about security. His tone this time was urgent, almost on the verge of desperation. I could almost see the pleas jumping out of the page.He said that Corvus had opened talks with the alphas of other packs ab
