All Chapters of The Alpha Regrets; He Wants His Luna Back.: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lara's POV"Are you sure about that, Lara?" My dad asked, sitting close to the hospital bed where I was still propped up against the pillows. The labour was behind me now, and my body was beginning to remember what it felt like to breathe without fighting for every breath. We will be discharged soon. But before any of that, there were things that needed to be settled first."You really want to sever the blood bond between your child and his father." He said it slowly, not as a challenge …I guess he was just making sure he had heard me right and that I had heard myself.I looked down at my son; Vale, lying against my chest, his small face impossibly peaceful for someone who had just arrived in the world after that kind of entrance. Golden. Quiet now. Mine.And then Lucien's voice came back, the way it always did without asking permission. Clear, certain and cold, the way it had been that morning outside Dr. Asher's office when I had stood in the corridor and pressed my hand over my mou

Alpha Lucien's POV"Where did you go?" I said it kinda subconsciously, not fully aware of where I was or what I was doing, as if I was already caught somewhere between sleep and something heavier than sleep. "Lara." I called out her name, heaving out heavily, and restless in a way I had no control over.And then the dream took full shape around me.I was standing in the middle of the wildwood … the deep stretch of ancient trees just beyond the eastern border, the kind of place that felt untouched by time, where the light came through in long slanted strips between the branches and everything was quiet in a way that felt alive rather than empty.Then I heard the chuckling.A woman and a boy, both crouching low, their backs to me, while they were lost completely in whatever had made them laugh that loudly and freely. Neither of them noticed me approaching though. The boy looked to be about six years old, built small but sturdy, with the easy energy of a child who had never once been tol

Raina's POV Just on that last inch for our lips to lock into each other, Alpha Lucien abruptly stood up real quick and then shoved my hands off instantly. I stumbled back slightly in the chair, caught completely off guard. As much as I know, the charm was supposed to have him. It was supposed to have locked in the moment I blew it into his face, just the way old and strong curse didn't leave room for resistance. And yet he was standing there above me with his jaw set and his eyes clear and sharp …and completely his own again, looking at me like I was something he had already made up his mind about. The sea-blue colour had faded from my eyes the moment he pulled back. Now I could feel the charm dissolving, unused, the energy of it just bleeding away into nothing. Six years of waiting. The most powerful thing I had in my arsenal. And it had not been enough to reach the part of him that still belonged to Lara.

Alpha Lucien's POV Sitting right here with Raina, as if she was my Luna, was something I had not planned. It had just happened … let's say it was one guilt trip at a time, over the course of three days before departure, until somehow I had arrived at the Alpha Conclave with her in the seat beside me. And now every Alpha in this room was looking at us the way people look at a couple. Reading the picture the way anyone would read it. I could already see a few glances, polite and assuming, the kind that came with the unspoken conclusion that the woman beside the Alpha was his Luna. But then, she was not my Luna. She had never been my Luna. But this was not the venue to have that conversation, and so I let it sit and focused on what had actually brought me here. After some time while we sat waiting for the event to start officially, I quickly brought out my phone to check if the message I had sent

Raina's POV I couldn't believe my eyes, just as everyone in here was also shocked at the sight of who just walked in. ‘What the fuck is that bitch doing here?’ The thought hit before I had even fully processed what I was looking at. Lara!!!? Walking through the main entrance of the Alpha Conclave like she had every right in the world to be there, in that red gown, with that walk, and with all eyes in the room still on her like she had magnets attached to every single person present. I felt so angry and maybe threatened by the sight of her, and the two feelings sat in my chest side by side, making it difficult to breathe properly. And to think that she looked all bold and full of elegance only made it worse. This was not the Lara I had watched bleed on a bathroom floor 6 years ago. This was not the wolfless omega who had begged me for her baby while I stoo
