Semua Bab Alpha's Regret: Twice Mated, Twice Rejected : Bab 51 - Bab 60

“Ella,” he began, his voice strained, but she silenced him with a finger to his lips.“It’s okay, Valen,” she whispered, her eyes locking with his.His resolve wavered. She was so close, her scent intoxicating, her lips so inviting. Every instinct in him screamed to close the distance, to claim her.But Valen clenched his fists, forcing himself to step back. Not here. “We should go,” he said, his voice thick with restraint.Ella nodded, her cheeks flushed. She didn’t trust herself to speak, not with the way her heart was racing and her body was reacting.As they left the club, Ella couldn’t help but glance back. The experience had been thrilling, intoxicating, and a little overwhelming. But more than anything, it had brought her closer to Valen, and she couldn’t deny the bond growing between them.***As they reached the towering gates of Valen’s manor, the sight waiting for them made Ella’s steps falter. A striking woman stood in the courtyard, her long dark hair cascading over her

Derek paced his office, the echo of Clara’s ultimatum ringing in his ears. “Your title or your mate.” Her words lingered like a storm cloud, casting doubt over every decision he had made. He raked his fingers through his hair, trying to shake off the frustration gnawing at him. But there was no escaping it—Clara’s demand had thrown him into a whirlwind he wasn’t prepared to handle.Still, his duty as an Alpha came first. He needed answers, and Kevin was at the center of it all. He couldn’t afford to let emotions cloud his judgment, not with the safety of his pack at stake.He made his way to the war room, where his beta Alex and Gamma Rafael were already waiting. The tension in the air was palpable as Derek entered, his Alpha presence commanding their immediate attention."Alex," Derek said, his voice low and firm. "Have you found anything on Kevin?"Alex exchanged a glance with Rafael before replying. "Not much yet, but there’s something strange. His pack’s movements are unusually

Ella sat on the edge of her bed, her thoughts racing. The encounter with Morgana earlier had left her unsettled. The woman spoke in riddles, her words carrying a weight Ella couldn’t ignore. And Valen—he hadn’t said a word. He's avoiding her questions, hiding behind a wall she couldn’t break.“What is he keeping from me?” she muttered under her breath.After pacing for what felt like an eternity, she decided she couldn’t let this go. If Valen wouldn’t talk, maybe Scottie, his sister, could. Scottie had always been friendly, even warm. Surely, she’d help.Ella found Scottie in the garden, pruning the roses with care. The younger woman’s vibrant smile lit up the space, but it faltered slightly when she saw Ella approaching.“Ella!” Scottie greeted, her voice cheerful but with a hint of nervousness. “What brings you here?”“I need to talk,” Ella said, her tone serious.Scottie set down the shears, wiping her hands on a cloth. “Of course. What’s on your mind?”Ella hesitated, unsure how

Derek walked into the pack's infirmary, the faint scent of disinfectants lingering in the air. The quiet sounds of activity greeted him—nurses moving about and doctors tending to the wounded. His gaze swept across the room until it landed on Alpha Moore.Moore sat propped up on a bed, his large frame noticeably stronger than the last time Derek saw him. The deep lines of exhaustion were beginning to fade, though his face still carried the effects of the plague. His wolf had fought hard, coupled with Ella's calming effect, but the lingering poison slowed his recovery.“You’re looking better,” Derek said, stepping closer.Moore looked up, his lips curving into a faint smile. “Better, but not quite my usual self,” he replied, his voice deep but calm. “Thanks to my wolf, though, I’m still here.”Derek nodded, crossing his arms. “The Doctors say you’re stable enough to leave, but I’m taking you to my home. You’ll need to rest somewhere safe while you regain your strength.”Moore raised

The night was unusually quiet, the moon hanging low as if it were watching the world with bated breath. Derek sat in his study, pouring over maps and reports from scouts patrolling the borders. The plague had slowed but had not yet disappeared, and Kevin's schemes loomed like a storm cloud.A sharp knock broke the silence, and his Beta, Alex, stepped in, his expression grim."Alpha," Alex began hesitantly, "there’s someone at the border requesting to see you."Derek raised a brow. "Who dares to request an audience at this hour?"Alex shifted uncomfortably. "It’s Kael Blackthorn."The name hit Derek like a punch to the gut. His eyes narrowed, his jaw tightening.Kael. The rogue Alpha. The man who had once stood at the pinnacle of power, only to be cast down for crimes he swore he never committed.“Take me to him” Derek ordered, his voice cold.Alex hesitated. "Are you sure? He—""Now," Derek cut him off, his tone leaving no room for argument.Minutes later, they got to the border.
