All Chapters of Alpha's Picture of Regret: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Silja POVI have enjoyed my time with my parents and helped them get some things unpacked. It was nice seeing them again. It was much harder at Mountain Mist. That was a half day drive just to get there. Now, I can leave after dinner and still make it home early enough to go to bed at a decent hour and get a full night’s sleep.“Try to come next weekend. It would be nice to have you here for the Luna Ceremony. Maybe you will find your mate.” My mother said.“Trudy, don’t harass her about finding a mate. It’s all with the Moon Goddess’ timing.” My dad said. “Besides, our Silja doesn’t need a mate right now. She wants to build her career, right shutterbug?”I smiled at my dad. He gets me. “Right dad and mom, if I can make it next weekend for the ceremony, I will let you know. Maybe we can have your spaghetti.” I said with a wink.“I’ll even include freshly baked garlic bread if you come. Maybe even tiramisu.” She said, upping the temptation.“You’re driving a hard bargain, mom.” I laughe

Jaul POVSomething is going on with Gerard. I’m the older one and I should have been the first choice to inherit the pack and family business, but it is going to him. Our father didn’t want to acknowledge me. Even though I’m bitter about it, I’m not vengeful, even though everyone thinks I am.I just wanted to be accepted. If my brother actually treated me like a brother, I would be genuinely happy for him. He treats me like I’m always out to get him though. I have never wronged him, and I have never schemed against him, but he seems determined to think I will though.I have been watching and observing though. Something is bothering him. He has been on edge this week. Erik keeps running around like crazy and clearly, he is fed up. I don’t know what’s going on with those two, but it feels like they are scrambling. Usually, that would mean you are trying to clean up a mess. It makes me curious.I decided to follow Erik and see what I can find out. After a short trip, he stops at a photogr

Silja POV“I’m so excited you are able to come this weekend!” My mom said.“Me too, mom. I may be getting there as the ceremony starts because I am coming back from a business trip. No need to wait for me to have dinner.” I said.“Okay. But I will save you a plate, in case you want something to eat, once the ceremony is over.” She said happily.That’s my mother’s love language…food. She always makes me a dish and I love all of them. “Okay mom. If I don’t eat that night, then save it for me for the morning. You know I love me some leftovers.” I said laughing.“Okay! I will see you tomorrow night then.” She said.We said our goodbyes and I called Romy. “Biatch! How’s career life?”I laughed, “Lover! It’s going well. Are things quiet with you? Have you been getting harassed?”“Hell no. After I kicked them out last time, they haven’t been back.” She said.“Good. I won’t be there this weekend. I’m going straight to my parents from here. They invited me to the Luna Ceremony taking place. You

Silja POV I’m crying in my father’s chest. David isn’t David. He’s Alpha Gerard Sinnett. Mrs. Sinnett’s son and Trina Mayer’s fiancé. We mated and marked each other during our one-night stand, and I don’t remember anything about that night with him. He was going to go through with the Luna Ceremony with Trina and when they marked each other, it would have forced the rejection and left me in pain. What a bastard! That’s why he wanted to see me. It all makes sense. I was messing up his plans to be mated to Trina and that’s why he wanted to see me. He was going to reject me, no matter what. “What is the meaning of this?” Some woman said as she charged at me. “Who is this whore claiming to be my son-in-law’s mate?” My mother stepped in front of me and growled, “Call my daughter a whore again and you will find the trouble you are looking for, lady.” So, this must be Trina’s mother. I see Mrs. Sinnett walking towards me and with her a man and I assume it is Gerard’s father. “She is not

Silja POV Mr. Sinnett called me his daughter-in-law. Honestly, of all the people involved in this situation, he has been the only nice one. Not including my folks, of course. I'm not his daughter-in-law though. I am the unwanted party in this situation. “Mr. Sinnett, what can I do for you?” I asked. “Nolan. Please…” he said as he gestured for me to sit down. I take a seat and wait expectantly for him to start speaking. At first, he just observed me and then carefully started talking. “I can see you are in a defensive mood. I don’t blame you. Please understand, I don’t wish any ill will towards you.” “No, but Mrs. Sinnett, Trina, her parents and I think even your son do.” I shot back. He chuckles, “You are a quick wit. I like that.” He said and then continued, “You know the Moon Goddess paired you to my son for a reason.” “Yeah, I’d like to have words with her, if I’m being honest.” I said flatly. “I’m not sure who I pissed off in a past life for her to pair me with him.
