All Chapters of Alpha's Picture of Regret: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Silja POVMy head is pounding. That’s the last time I celebrate anything with Romy. Her idea of fun is drinking until we stop using good judgement. Even though we are wolves, we can still get lit. It only takes having liquor with some aconitum mixed in to get a wolf drunk. Since I basically live my life in the human world, putting something like that in our drink would be a rare occurrence. The problem is I don’t know how I got home last night.I’m afraid to open my eyes. I already know my headache is going to get worse when I do. I need to brave it though. I have to get to the studio shortly. I don’t even know what time it is, but I can’t imagine it’s late afternoon yet. I have my first clients and it’s my step forward to having my dream realized.I take a deep breath and slowly open my eyes. Luckily, the windows are still closed and only a soft light is peeping through the black out curtains. It’s enough to make me realize I’m not in my home. I don’t have black out curtains. I turn

Gerard POVI wake up, stretching. Last night was a lot of fun. That woman. She was young, drunk, flirty, fun and sexy. My body moved with every one of her curves last night. I only remember getting her to the hotel room. She wanted to continue dancing and drinking and I joined her. It’s honestly the most fun I have had in a long time. Somewhere along the way though, things got fuzzy.I remember kissing her and feeling her incredible body, but I don’t remember much after that. When I get up, I realize I’m naked. Shit. Did I sleep with her? I looked behind me and she wasn’t there, but there is blood on the sheets. Fuck. Was that her first time? A drunken one-night stand?‘Yes, it was. You both enjoyed every second of it too.’ Terk said. My wolf is happily laying down in my mind, clearly satisfied.‘You realize we cheated on Trina?’‘Trina doesn’t matter. That girl is our mate. Don’t you remember?’‘My mate? I didn’t scent her as my mate.’ I said.‘Aconitum. Screws with your senses. That

Gerard POV“Come on, what else do you remember about her?” Erik asked. “Think man.”I sat back and started thinking about my mystery mate. “She has long red hair. It was wavy and in a ponytail at the bar. She had on a dress that showed off her incredible body. Her skin was pale, but not in a pasty way. More like a porcelain doll kind of way. She was tall for a woman. Maybe five foot eight inches. Her eyes were like a hazel green color.”“Okay, did she tell you anything about herself?”I put my head in my hands, willing my mind to remember. ‘Terk, do you remember anything?’‘She has a small tattoo on her right hip of a daisy. She said it was in memory of someone special to her.’I looked up and told Erik what Terk just said to me.“Cute. A daisy.” He said exasperated. “That doesn’t help us. Unless the woman is walking around a bikini, we won’t see her tattoo. Before you started drinking, was there anything she said about herself that could help us identify her?”“She said something abo

Silja POV“Hey mom!” I said excitedly. As I walk down the street. Strangely, I feel like someone is watching me, but I shake it off and continue walking.It’s been a while since I spoke to my mom. She and my dad have been busy lately and honestly, I’ve been busy lately too.“Sil, baby girl! How is my brilliant daughter doing?” she asked.“Mom…” I said, shaking my head as if she could see me. “I’m good. Busy lately. I am finally working in a studio and had my first two clients recently.”“That’s great, honey! Look at you, going after your dreams.” She said.“What about you? What have you and dad been up to?” I asked.“Well, we didn’t want to tell you until we were settled, but we moved away from Mountain Mist. We transferred to a new pack. One closer to the city, so we could be closer to you.” She said.“WHAT!?” I said, shocked. “Where are you guys now?”“We are at Night Crown. The alpha here accepted us, and we made the move. We wanted to surprise you and I think we did a good job.” Sh

Gerard POVThis woman and her friend are infuriating. It took Erik and I some serious money to get access to the security footage from that damn bartender. Even more to get Romy’s name and address. I was surprised the bartender had it, but according to him Romy is a regular and he has had to call her a cab a few times.When I asked him about my mate, he said that he didn’t know her and that night was the first time he met her. He didn’t know her name or address. So, I told Erik to find Romy and get the information we need to find my mate.I was able to smooth things over with Trina and luckily, she is letting the incident go, with the condition that I reject my mate so the mate mark will disappear before the Luna Ceremony. I agreed and I am going to do everything in my power to make it happen. I need my mate to accept my rejection too though. That’s the only way the marks will disappear from both our necks. It has to be mutual.Now I am talking to her on the phone, and she has the nerv
