All Chapters of Alpha's Picture of Regret: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Silja POVI am glad Gerard liked breakfast. I’m not much of a cook, so I don’t know if he was being nice or if he really liked the food, but I wanted to do something for him. He has been taking care of me, and I don’t want to come across as ungrateful.I’m super excited that Romy is my beta, and she completed the mate bond with Erik. Now she and I can tag team to annoy those two. That should be a lot of fun. I know we will have several ways to make the frustrated. I smiled at the thought.Gerard and I showered together and then got ready for the office. I don’t have a lot of business clothes, so I opt for a simple dress with flats. I try to style my hair for something professional, but my hair isn’t working with me this morning, so I pull it back into a ponytail and go into the living room, where Gerard is waiting for me. When he sees me, his eyes darkened with desire.He closed the gap between us in two strides and pulled me in for a deep kiss. I feel dizzy when he lets go.“Goddess,

Jaul POVI am listening to my dad, brother, and his mate. I hear what they are saying, but I still can’t believe it. Viola. That snake in the grass! No wonder she didn’t want me coming here. No wonder she sent Trina with us.“What I don’t understand is why she is pushing Trina on Gerard? Silja is his fated mate, and Gerard is her son. What better way to solidify his position?” Romy asked.She’s right, that does seem a bit odd. You would think that Viola would ensure Gerard is the Alpha and not care who the Luna is, but that hasn’t been her behavior. I haven’t been around much, but I remember how she treated Silja when the Luna Ceremony was canceled.“I think there is something more there, too. I am not sure why she wants Trina to be the Luna. I don’t know what she stands to gain from it all.” Silja said.Dad and Gerard look at each other, like they don’t understand it either. “Perhaps someone needs to get close to her to find out,” I said.“Who is going to volunteer for that shit detai

Silja POVGerard and I have been doing really well all week, and it is time for another prenatal exam. I’ve been sleeping better with Gerard next to me. I wake up every morning in his arms, and I have grown accustomed to his presence now.Every time we make love, we wear each other down. He went from being distant and pushing me away to being hot like molten lava. I love this side of him. I hope it doesn’t change.“Sils, baby. Are you ready?”“Coming!”It’s really warm today, so I decided to wear some shorts and a loose shirt. Plus, these have a drawstring, which makes them fit better. Ever since Gerard moved in, I have gained weight. I don’t know if it’s from the pregnancy, all the food, or a combination of both, but my pants aren’t fitting like they used to.When I come out of the bedroom, Gerard’s eyes darken with desire…again. He’s looking at my legs, and he lets out a low growl. He crosses the room in three long strides, pins me to the wall, and kisses me passionately. “Mine.”I’m

Gerard POVAfter my mother left, I went back to the couch to look at Luna Ceremony preparations with her.“What did she want?” Silja asked.“Making demands she has no authority to make,” I said flatly.“Was she always like this?”“Honestly, no. There was a time we could joke with each other and be very casual. Those days ended with the Luna Ceremony with Trina, which was canceled,” I replied.“So, she changed because I ruined her plans,” she said as a matter of fact.“Let’s not worry about her. Let’s focus on our ceremony and our life together,” I said, nibbling her earlobe.She giggled, and I growled playfully when her phone started ringing. “It’s Ebba.”Silja sits up quickly and answers the phone on speaker, “Hey, Ebba! How are you?”Ebba answers with a tired tone, “Not well, Silja. Not well at all.”Silja became very serious, “What’s wrong?”“Have you seen the headlines today?”“No. Let me get my laptop.”I pulled out my phone, and my eyes darkened. “There is a lawsuit against the s

Silja POVI don’t want to go back to Night Crown. His mother and that bitch Trina are there. Has he lost his mind?“No. Not with your mother and Trina being there.”“Trina will not be there. I have had her removed and banned from the pack,” Nolan said.“You think I want to be around Viola? That woman hates me,” I shot back.Gerard then spoke up, “You’re right. I just know that your mom and dad will be with you, and that they will look out for you. How about I set up a condo and bring your parents there? Then we can all look after you. I will get it done quickly. Once you are recovered, we will do the Luna Ceremony, and my mother will no longer be an obstacle for you.”I look at Gerard. He really is being accommodating to everything for me. I could stand to be the same for him. I’ve been thinking of a way to make things easier for him. I think he might be homesick.“As long as my parents are with me and Viola cannot do anything to them or to me, then I will go with you to Night Crown. I
