All Chapters of Alpha's Picture of Regret: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Silja POV‘Why are we doing this? Didn’t he make it clear that he can’t let go of Trina?’ Pau said sadly.‘We made an agreement for six months. If he crosses a line with Trina, then I will reject him, Pau.’‘But he basically said he doesn’t want us. He is just doing this out of obligation.’I sat on the bed, tears rolling down once again. I have kept my emotions at bay, but his words today hurt. He won’t give her up. His plan is still to give me up. He doesn’t feel anything for me. The mate bond isn’t affecting him like it affects me. Maybe because he is an alpha and I’m not ranked.He said he would pick me up for dinner, and I decided to wear something business casual. Some slacks, a nice button up top and a pearl necklace. I pulled my hair into an elegant ponytail and only wore minimal makeup. At least I look presentable.I walked out of my apartment and told him to meet me at the studio. I wore low wedges, so it would be easier to walk the three blocks. When I get there, he is alrea

Silja POV After dinner with Gerard on Wednesday night, we fell into a routine. He would text me in the morning to wish me a good day. Three times a week, we shared a meal and got to know each other a little more. He respected my space and my work. Then at night, we either text or talk on the phone. It’s been three weeks since that first dinner too. ‘Do you think he is really trying to get to know us? Is this real?’ Pau said. I sighed, ‘I honestly don’t know. All I know is I’m getting used to him being around and I still don’t trust him fully.’ ‘Terk said he is starting to see us in a different light.’ Pau said. ‘How so?’ ‘He didn’t say.’ Right then my phone rang and it’s Romy. “Biatch! You alive?” I laughed, “Lover! Clearly, I’m alive, why?” “We need a girl’s night out. Tomorrow!” She said. “I’ve been swamped and need a night out. A girl’s night out sounds like a must.” I said. “Great! I’ll come get you!” Romy said. “Alright. I’ll be ready by seven.” I said. “Otherwise, wha

Gerard POV That motherfucker Donovan took Silja. When I finally got to her, he was trying to force his mark on her. I came in right when she kneed that fucker in the balls and he hit her. Something protective came over me and I shifted and ripped his throat out. I’ll deal with the fall out over that later. I was within my rights. He kidnapped my mate, injured her and then tried to force his mark on her. I was pissed off when I found out that Trina dismissed the guards three weeks ago when she went to visit Silja. I didn’t even know it happened until I called them and they told me. “WHO SIGNS YOUR FUCKING CHECKS?! IT SURE AS HELL ISN’T TRINA! YOUR RIGHTFUL LUNA HAS BEEN TAKEN!” I snarled at them as I’m running out of the office. They are flanking each side of me. I call my father, “DAD! SILJA HAS BEEN TAKEN. I’M EN ROUTE TO GET HER!” “WHAT?!” He roared. “Trina dismissed the guards three weeks ago. I didn’t know!” I said. “Son of a bitch!” He growled. “Do you know where Silja is, G

Gerard POV I’m about to be a father. Holy Moon Goddess! I’m about to be a father! My mind is suddenly in overdrive. Silja has agreed to be my Luna. Our pup won’t be illegitimate. I will become alpha of Night Crown. Things are looking up. My dad and Silja’s parents stepped outside for a few minutes to talk to the doctor and I was left alone with my mate. When I look over at Silja though, she has her hand on her stomach and she looks sad. Not just sad though. It’s another emotion I can’t describe. Seeing her like that was like throwing ice water on me. I reached for her hand. Feeling the electric jolts that does things to Terk and me. “Silja?” She looks at me and the light in her eyes is practically gone. She’s not happy at all. Is it because of me? Because of the pup? Or is it because of her accepting me as her alpha and mate? Is she regrets agreeing to being my Luna? I used to think that the mate bond would attract your mate to you and you would fall deeply in love. This thing b

Silja POVI gave mom and dad and even Nolan a hug before I left the hospital with Gerard. I’m not really in a position to refuse help right now. The pup’s health comes first and that means I have to take care of myself. If Gerard says he is going to take care of me and give me the best doctors, then I would be stupid not to take him up on it. Even if it’s just so he can keep his heir healthy.‘Terk said he is doing it for you too. Not just the pup.’ Pau said.‘Yeah, right. I’m only doing this because I care about this pup. Even if I’m not ready to be a mom. Even if my dreams and goals are put on hold. None of it is going to matter now without my pup. Gerard will get to be a part of it, but that’s all.’‘Uh-huh. You are starting to soften towards Gerard. Admit it.’ Pau said.‘No.’ I said seriously. ‘He hasn’t earned my trust. But the next couple of weeks, he will have the opportunity. If he screws it up, then at least I’ll know, right?’I rode quietly with Gerard and we stop in front of
