All Chapters of Alpha Leon's Regret : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

_Anya's POV_The next morning, I woke up with Emily's words still fresh in my mind.I opened my eyes slowly and stared at the ceiling but for several seconds, I did not move. The room was quiet. It was filled only with the soft sound of the wind outside the window.Then the memory came back to me. The library. She had told me to find the oldest bookshelf and count seven books from the left. Behind it, she said, there was something waiting for me.I closed my eyes again, letting her words echo through my mind as I tried to understand what she had meant.I had barely slept after returning home the previous night. Every time I tried to fall asleep, I saw Emily standing in front of me with tears in her eyes. I heard her voice telling me that she was my mother. I felt the warmth that had surrounded me when she reached toward me. And then she had disappeared.I still did not know whether the vision had been a memory, a dream or something else entirely. But Maya had seen it too. That was the

_Anya's POV_Jacob was standing near the library door, his eyes fixed on me. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The quiet room suddenly felt different, almost as if the walls themselves were holding their breath.His gaze moved from my face to the open album. Then it stopped on the photograph.I noticed the small change in his expression again. It was gone almost as quickly as it appeared but I had seen it. His eyes had widened slightly before his face returned to normal.“What are you doing, Anya?” he asked again, his voice calm.I swallowed and looked down at the album. “I found something.”Jacob took a few steps toward me. “What did you find?”I did not answer immediately. Part of me wanted to tell him everything. I wanted to tell him about the vision, about Emily appearing to me, about the words she had spoken and about the strange message that had brought me to this library. But I couldn't.If I told Jacob that I had seen my mother in a vision, he might think I was imagining thin

_Anya's POV_I remained perfectly still in Jacob's arms, keeping my eyes closed and my breathing slow. His hand rested against my waist and his warm breath brushed my forehead whenever he exhaled. Anyone looking at us would have believed that I was sleeping peacefully beside the man I loved and trusted.But I was neither peaceful nor asleep. Every part of me was waiting for the moment when he would finally let go of me.I listened to his breathing, trying to tell whether he was truly asleep or simply waiting for me to lower my guard. The thought made my stomach tighten. After everything that had happened lately, I no longer knew what to believe about Jacob. Even his kindness had begun to frighten me because I could no longer tell whether it came from his heart or whether it was another way of keeping me under his control.Minutes passed before he finally moved. His arm slipped away from my waist and the mattress shifted beneath his weight. I fought the urge to open my eyes as he sat u

_Leon's POV_The closer we came to Fireblood, the harder it became to ignore the dread building inside me.Anya was somewhere beyond that border. She was trapped with a man who had no intention of letting her go. I did not know what Jacob had done to her or whether she was still fighting him and the uncertainty was slowly eating away at me.My wolf, Shadow, was restless. He wanted to find Anya as badly as I did and every time I slowed down, I felt his frustration rise."We need to find her," he growled."We will."I could only hope that I was right. Jack walked beside me. He was watching the forest as we approached the border. He had barely spoken during the last hour but when he glanced at me, I knew he had noticed my growing impatience."Whatever happens, do not let your anger make decisions for you," he said quietly. "We need to get Anya out of there and we cannot do that if Alpha Jacob captures us first.""I know what we need to do.""Then stop looking as though you are about to c

_Leon's POV_Her voice was weak but the fear behind it was unmistakable. She looked at me as though I were another monster who had come to hurt her and I could not blame her for feeling that way.I knew what I had done to her in the past. I had rejected her and I had helped imprison her when I should have protected her. I had stood on the wrong side when she needed someone to stand beside her and my actions had given her every reason to fear me.I could not expect her to forget those things simply because I had finally come to rescue her."Anya, please listen to me," I said while keeping my voice gentle as I watched her press herself against the wall. "I know you are frightened but we have not come here to hurt you. We want to take you away from this place."She shook her head and pulled her knees closer to her chest. Her eyes moved between Jack and me. She was searching our faces as though she expected us to reveal our true intentions at any moment."Why should I believe you?" she wh
