Semua Bab Alpha Leon's Regret : Bab 11 - Bab 20

_Leon's POV_The bag was half open. Just enough for me to catch the edge of a silver phone case when she reached for a handkerchief.Shadow’s voice sharpened. Take the chance.I kept my face blank as another servant came forward with wine. Glasses were refilled. Conversation continued. My mother and Talia’s mother had moved on to discussing wedding fabrics. Talia was laughing softly and describing the sort of embroidery she liked.I lifted my own glass slowly. Then I made my move.I turned just slightly, as if reaching for the bread plate. At the same time, I let my wrist twist. The wine tipped from the glass in a sudden red spill and splashed straight across the front of Talia’s pale dress.She gasped and jumped up from her chair. “Oh, what have you done?”The room went still.I immediately set down the glass and rose too. “Talia, I am very sorry, sweetheart. It slipped from my hand.”She stared down at the stain in horror. “Leon, this dress...”“I know,” I said quickly. “I am sorry.

_Anya's POV_A soft knock woke me before sunrise.For a few seconds, I stayed under the blanket, confused and heavy with sleep. The room was still dark. Then the knock came again.“Anya,” Alpha Jacob’s voice said through the door. “Get up.”My heart gave a strange jump inside my chest.It was too early for anyone to be knocking on my door. For one foolish second, I thought I was still in Silvercrest and that Talia or one of the maids had come to drag me out for work before dawn. The fear rose fast out of old habit but it faded just as quickly when I heard his voice again.“Do not make me come in there and pull the blankets off you.”Maya stirred inside me at once.She sounded amused. He would enjoy that too much.Heat rushed to my face. I pushed the blanket aside, got out of bed and opened the door a little.Alpha Jacob was standing outside already dressed for training. He looked far too awake for that hour. His black shirt fit close across his chest and shoulders and his dark hair lo

_Leon’s POV_I drove for hours without stopping.The night slowly faded and the sky began to change. Dark blue turned to pale grey and then soft light spread across the horizon. I did not notice the time passing. I only knew that I had to get there. Every second felt too long. Every mile felt too slow.My hands stayed tight on the steering wheel. My jaw was still locked. My mind kept replaying everything again and again. Anya’s face. Her tears. Her voice when she begged me to believe her.Shadow was restless inside me. He had not calmed down at all. She is waiting.“I know,” I said under my breath.Then why are we still here?“We are almost there.”That was the only thing keeping me steady. The thought that I would see her soon. That I would fix this. That I would bring her back.As the sun rose higher, the land began to change. The trees grew denser. The air felt heavier. There was a different kind of energy here. It was strong and dangerous.I had reached the Fireblood territory.I

_Anya's POV_The guard kept pulling me forward and I struggled to keep up with him in the darkness. My heart was still racing from what had just happened outside. My mind could not stop thinking about Leon. He had been so close. He had seen me. And now I was being dragged away like I was something that needed to be hidden.“Where are you taking me?” I asked again, my voice trembling as I tried to match his steps.“These tunnels lead to the centre of the mansion,” the guard replied quickly. “They were built as escape routes. Only a few people know about them.”I frowned even though I could barely see anything. “Escape routes?”“Yes,” he said. “In case of attack or danger. We use them to move unseen.”That did not calm me. It only made everything feel more serious.Maya stirred uneasily inside me. This place feels wrong.“I know,” I whispered under my breath.The ground beneath my feet was uneven. Small stones shifted under my steps and the path felt narrow. I could not see where I was

_Leon’s POV_The moment I stepped out of the house, the air felt heavier.My chest was tight and my thoughts would not quiet down. Everything that had just happened in the living room kept replaying in my mind again and again. Talia’s tears. Her soft voice. The way she looked so fragile and innocent. And the way everyone else looked at me… like I was the one who had lost control.I clenched my jaw as I walked toward my car.This was wrong. All of it was wrong.No one would believe me without proof.I needed something solid. Something undeniable. Something that would force them to see the truth.Because without proof… Anya would keep paying for something she never did.I got into the car quickly and started the engine. My hands were not steady but I forced myself to focus. The only thing that mattered now was the doctor.Mike Johnson.He was the key to everything.“If he speaks, everything will change,” I muttered.Then hurry, Shadow growled. “I am trying.”I drove fast. The road blur
