All Chapters of The Beta's Regret: ONCE REJECTED, NOW MY EX'S QUEEN : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Please don’t hang up.”That was all I managed before my throat closed completely.The bus station was half-empty — a janitor pushing a mop across the far end, fluorescent lights humming that specific frequency that made everything feel slightly unreal. My bags were piled at my feet. The dress was doing nothing against the cold coming through the automatic doors every time they opened.I pressed the phone harder against my ear and waited.“Sera.” My father’s voice. Steady and low and exactly the same as I remembered it. “Hello, my daughter.”That was it. That was all it took.Three years of holding myself together and I came apart completely on a plastic chair in a bus station, crying in a way I hadn’t let myself since the day I left — ugly and total and without any dignity whatsoever.“I’m sorry,” I choked out. “Dad, I’m so sorry, I’m so—”“Stop.” Not harsh. Just firm, the way he’d always been firm — a hand on the shoulder rather than a door in the face. “Are you safe?”I wiped my fa

Two weeks.Fourteen days, and somehow Dorian Crest had dismantled every wall I’d spent six years building — not by force, not by charm alone, but by being relentlessly, almost irritatingly consistent. He said he would call and he called. He wanted to understand the pack’s trade challenges and sat with me for three hours going through documents he had no obligation to care about. He remembered that Damien hated the crust on his bread and Enzo slept with the light on, and he never once made either of them feel small for it.I wanted to marry him. Not for the alliance. Not for the pack. Not even for my sons, though the way he loved them did things to my chest I had no language for.I just wanted him. Plainly, terrifyingly, like a person and not a princess.Which was precisely why I was standing in his room now with my shoulders squared and my smile measured, watching him fold the last of his shirts into his bag like it wasn’t affecting me at all.“I think that’s everything,” he said, str

Sera’s POV“I’d love to officially introduce myself. My name is Sera Voss.” My voice didn’t waver. “Princess of the Voss pack. Official heir to the throne. And as of tonight—” I glanced at Dorian beside me, “—the fiancée of the Continental Alpha.I grinned at the look of horror on Eli and Mira’s face.I felt the shift in the room even before anyone said a word.It moved through the room like a silent ripple- subtle, controlled, but undeniable. Conversations softened as I stepped off the stage with Dorian beside me. My heels steady against the marble floor with my shoulders relaxed. I didn’t rush, I moved like I had every right to be exactly where I was.Because I did. Laughter dipped in volume.Heads turned carefully, like they didn’t want to be caught staring.My gaze swept the room briefly, cataloguing reactions without appearing to. The ones who smile too quickly. The ones who avoided eye contact altogether. The ones who stared at me like I had stolen something from them.Likes of

Eli’s POV I picked up my phone again and this time I dialed a different number. A number i haven’t called in years. The line picked up almost immediately. “Is it done?”, the voice on the other end asked. There was no need for unneccesary greetings. My lips curved slightly. “Not yet”, I said. “But i’m ready to move things forward”. “Good”, the voice replied. “Because we’ve been waiting for you to come back to your senses”he countined. “Just tell me what to do”I didn’t reply immediately. “Start with the children”, I said with a sinister smile on my face. Dorian’s POV The line went dead. The phone was still in my hand, and Eli’s name sat there like something that should have meant more than it did. But it didn’t. What mattered was what he represented. I set the phone down slowly on the desk and leaned back in my chair. I thought about her again and again. Sera Voss Six years missing. Six years silent. Then she walks back into power like she never left - and suddenly, old m

Sera’s POV I stood up immediately I read the last message from Eli, my steps flattering for half a second. This isn’t something Eli could guess. It was something he believed or knew. My grip tightened around my phone as I turned toward my father’s study. I was two steps away from the door when voices stopped me. “.....I’m so happy this has been finalized”, that was my mother’s voice . “.... the council has approved it”. “As expected. There was no need for delay”, my father said. “And besides, I’m the Alpha since I’ve signed it, it was surely going to be approved”. He said with obvious pride I opened the door without knocking and both of them turned. “Sera”, my mother said immediately, she smiled brightly. “Perfect timing”. “What’s been approved?”, I asked without bothering to return the smile. My father leaned back slightly into his chair, composed as ever. “You’re getting married to the Continental Alpha”, he said, “it has been finalized”. The word landed heavier than Eli’
