All Chapters of Alpha's Picture of Regret: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Trina POV I have never been so humiliated in all my life! That bitch Silja waltzed in and undid years of hard work that I invested in Gerard. I was so close and that woman came in and when I realized it was the photographer, I became more enraged. How does the daughter of a beta lose to a no rank photographer? She was ready to reject Gerard too. It wouldn’t have hurt him or his chances if he was the one rejected, but he stopped her. Why did he stop her? Does he secretly have feelings for that nobody? I want to cry. I want to destroy something. I want to scream. I want so many things to release my frustrations. In the end, I was left out of the conference room while Gerard is in that room with the photographer…alone. After a while Gerard came out and he was upset. He didn’t talk to me or my parents. His mother was tearing into him for his carelessness and not taking care of this problem sooner. I heard the bickering back and forth and then Mr. Sinnett came out and brought Silja’s pa

Gerard POV “When we get there, be nice to the girl. Her parents are good people, and you have screwed up enough already. Mind your manners.” My dad said. “Yes, I know, Dad.” I sighed. “I still don’t see why I cannot go.” Mom said. “Because you insulted their daughter and called her worthless. You think anyone would want you near their child with behavior like that, Viola!?” My father said angrily. Mom huffed. Clearly, she is not happy that she isn’t getting her way. I honestly don’t see why she is behaving like this either. We need to be on their good side right now. We said goodbye to mom and made our way to the Wilde residence. Terk is happy. He wants his mate and is refusing Trina now. I feel bad because she didn’t ask for this either. Now, she can’t come here. I can see her in the city though. Once we get there, I see there are guards nearby. “What’s with the guards?” I asked. “Silja is your fated mate and wears your mark. She already has targets on her back with Trina and

Gerard POVI have to admit, once again, that Silja is smart. My father is right, she doesn’t beat around the bush and she is quick witted. For someone who seems timid, like a little bunny, she has teeth and will certainly bite you if you are not careful.‘She’s, our mate. She and Pau don’t want us. Pau told me she doesn’t want me. She said Silja doesn’t want you either.’ Terk said sadly.‘Give me some time. She will warm up to us.’‘You are only doing this to be selfish. I want our mate.’I blocked Terk. He is being unreasonable right now. I’m doing my best to convince Silja. Luckily, she agreed to me courting her for the next six months. I don’t feel good that my father had to intervene on my behalf, but I’m glad he did. I don’t think Silja would have spoken to me otherwise.After going back inside my father mind linked me. ‘All good?’‘Yeah, she just laid down some boundaries.’My dad smirked, ‘I like her. I’m glad we are getting a chance to salvage this situation. Don’t fuck it up.’

Gerard POVI’m heading to my office and I am frustrated. Silja brushed me off, hung up on me multiple times and insulted me. I tried to bring her breakfast to talk about the whole dream thing and she treats it like it isn’t important. Not only that, but she also didn’t bother to tell me that she wasn’t going to the studio. She left me standing there like an idiot.‘You are an idiot. She has fire and personality. She doesn’t put up with your shit either.’ Terk said.‘Whose side are you on? Aren’t you my wolf?’ I said.‘Pau is my mate. I’m on her side and praying to the Moon Goddess, she will forgive me, even though I was the one who tried to stop that stupid ceremony with Trina.’ He huffed.Trina. I need to call her. I need to explain everything to her. If Silja acted even with a fraction of the sensibility that Trina has, then maybe something could be worked out. She is so stubborn though that it feels impossible. First, I need to talk to Erik, then I will sort Trina out.Also, I need

Gerard POVWhen I got to the studio, I was furious. I told Trina to let me handle this and give me time. She had to jump the gun and go harass Silja. She could go to my dad and tell him that she is rejecting me because of Trina. Silja might be frustrating as all can be, but she is giving me a chance, and I am trying to win her over.Trina came out of the studio and ran to me as I was getting out of the car. She wanted to kiss me, but I stopped her. “Are you crazy?” I said.“I haven’t seen you in days and now you push me away!?” she said.“Trina, my mate is in there. I told her I wouldn’t be unfaithful during this time, but if you kiss me, she will know I’m being unfaithful. This is why you need to stay away. What the hell were you thinking coming here and telling her to reject me!?” I growled.Her eyes reddened, “Gerry, we can challenge the laws. There is a process in place that we can follow and challenge that archaic law. Don’t you want to be with me?”“You know nothing about the pac
