Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha’s Regret After Our Pup Died: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I barged into Zane's office. Serena scrambled off his lap the second she saw me.When Zane saw it was me, his face was pure irritation.He pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a long breath, then hissed through clenched teeth, "Who said you could come to Pack HQ? Look at yourself — you're a mess. Don't you have any self-respect?"I held my sick child tight against my chest. The accusation on my tongue came out as a weak explanation instead."I called you, but you didn't pick up. Zane, our daughter is sick. I had no other choice, so I came here to find you."He slapped me across the face, then pointed at the office door and snarled under his breath."Get out. I give you two thousand a month. If you'd been less wasteful, how would you not have enough to take the pup to a healer?"Two thousand a month, and it had to cover every expense in the house. Not a single cent of that money was ever spent on me.Tears poured down my face. My knees buckled and I dropped to the floor in front o

The healer pulled down his mask under my hopeful gaze and bowed his head. "We did everything we could."I collapsed to the floor. Lily's sweet face floated through my mind."Lily was such a good girl. How could this happen? How?"They wheeled out her small body. I grabbed her and held her, sobbing like a madwoman."Lily, this is Mama's fault. If Mama had been just a little more careful with money, then maybe you wouldn't have — you wouldn't —"This time, Lily didn't answer me.I carried Lily through the streets. Rain soaked us both. Through the haze, I thought I heard her call out "Mama" from my arms.I answered her, wild with joy. But when I looked down, all I saw was her pale, still face.Something inside me snapped. I dropped to my knees in the rain and howled.After I laid Lily to rest, I went to the Whitmore Pack House.Laughter rang out from inside. My hand froze in the air, mid-knock.My Lily was dead, and they were in there laughing.I wiped my tears and knocked on the door.Th

Then he didn't say another word."I don't deserve to be a mother, Zane. But you don't deserve to be a father either.""Before Lily went in, she was still asking if her daddy would come. But you didn't believe me. You didn't go.""Then again, we never even had a ceremony. You don't really count as Lily's father."He looked at me with tears in his eyes, his tone somewhere between accusation and regret."Why didn't I believe you?"The sound of vehicles came from outside the cemetery, and Pack Enforcers walked in through the entrance. "Are you Zane Sterling?""You're suspected of violations of Pack law. Come with us."Zane looked at me in confusion, and I gave a slight nod. "Sterling Pack and Thorne Pack are sworn enemies. Joining Thorne Pack, I had to bring some sincerity, didn't I?""You wouldn't let my daughter live. I sure as hell won't let you off."He stared at me with pure hatred. "I provided for you all those years and this is how you repay me?"I scoffed. "Provided for me?""Two t

He came toward me step by step with the rope, and I had no choice but to back away."Come here. It's me. Your Zane."My heart was in my throat. I knew I couldn't outrun him, and I knew how far he'd go in this state, so all I could do was stall for time.I pointed at Lily's grave and spoke to him softly. "Look at Lily. Look how little she is. How long has it been since you've seen her?""Before she went in, she was still asking me if Daddy would come. Did you truly not love her at all?"Zane's gaze shifted from me to the gravestone beside us, and his feet carried him toward the grave."Lily — she was such a good little girl.""Let's have another one. Lily was so good. If we have another, she'll be just as good. I swear, this time I'll love you both properly."His gaze fell on me again. He moved fast, looping the rope around me."I'm getting you out of this place right now. The world is big enough — there's a place for us somewhere. And if there isn't, we'll die together. We'll go be wit

The tears came before I could stop them. I wanted to say it wasn't me, but he didn't look back.He didn't hesitate for a second and immediately fled with his wolves.By the time the Enforcers arrived, Mom was barely breathing. On the way to the healer's ward, she used every last bit of her strength to speak."You just stood there and let me die. I'll never forgive you."By the time we reached the ward, Mom was gone. I sat beside Dad, drowning in guilt, the mating gown on my body painfully out of place.Dad spoke without looking at me. "We raised you all these years. We were at least your parents in name. And now this happened because of you."Dad was quiet for a long time before forcing out the words. "Let's cut ties."I stared at Dad, my throat burning, but I couldn't get a single word out.Dad got up and left the ward, leaving me alone to cry.My phone rang at the worst possible time."Hello, is this Zane Sterling's mate? Zane was in a car crash. It's serious. We need you to come sig
