All Chapters of The Alpha Regrets; He Wants His Luna Back.: Chapter 51 - Chapter 58

Raina's POV ‘Oh my God. Is this Lara's little bastard child?’ The thought hit me the moment the boy finished his sentence. Standing there in the corridor with his school bag on his back and those eyes … God! those eyes looking up at me with the kind of open, trusting expression that children had before the world taught them better. He had just told me he was looking for his daddy. He had just told me his daddy's name was Alpha Lucien. And he had landed right in front of me. I stayed very still for a second, because I needed to make sure my face was doing exactly what I needed it to do before I opened my mouth. And then I felt the smile come … not the one I performed for Lucien when I needed something, but the one that came from somewhere deeper. The one that said things were going exactly as they needed to. "Oh, don't worry, sweetheart." I reached out an

Alpha Lucien's POV"Alpha Lucien." Beta Remy's voice came from behind me, carrying that particular careful tone he used when he had something to say that he was not entirely sure I wanted to hear. "That's a sacred necklace crafted by our high clan mountain artisans to keep you safe."I was still in the mirror, fixing the tip of my suit, and I let him finish. There was no point interrupting him as I already knew where he was going, but my mind was already made up on the other side of it.He added, "It's the only one of its kind. Are you sure that you want to give it to Lara?"I turned from the mirror. The necklace was in its case on the table beside the flower bouquet I had also picked out, and I reached for it and opened the necklace casing properly, looking at it one more time. There was something about looking at it that settled the decision rather than shook it … just the way certain things did when you had already arrived at a choice and needed your eyes to confirm it rather than

Lara's POVJust as I was getting close to the ground from the fall, a hand caught me.I managed to turn in shock and it was Lucien, right there, crouching beside me and pulling me upright before my knees hit the dirt."Lara!" He steadied me on my feet and then looked at me with the kind of expression that sat somewhere between relief and genuine frustration. "Are you suddenly out of your mind? What are you doing wandering around the forest alone?"I could not hide the shock on my face. Out of every person in the world who could have shown up in this forest right now, it was him.He looked me over as his jaw was tightening. "Are you trying to feed yourself to the beasts?""Go." I pushed him off me immediately. "I need to find my son."He held my arm again before I could move. "Look. I have my men mobilized and they are already searching for him in the other part of this space. I joined up to help too."I was not taking that from him. Not right now. "No! I need to find him. He needs me!

Lara's POVBefore I knew it, Lucien grabbed me and laid my back on the floor.He was over me in a second, both his hands pinning my wrists down on either side, but he kept himself raised enough that the upper half of his weight was not on me. The space between us from the waist upward was still there, deliberately maintained, which was the only thing telling me that somewhere underneath the rut, Lucien was still in there trying.But the rut was winning. I could see it in the way his jaw was set and the way his eyes had gone darker than they normally were, and when his mouth found the side of my neck I felt every nerve in my body respond to it before my brain had even caught up.I tried to pull loose from his grip, but his hand stayed firm around my wrist."Lucien!" I said it sharply. "Lucien, snap out of it."Something in his body registered the sound of his name. Not fully, not cleanly, but enough. He pulled back from my neck gradually, the way someone pulled back from something they
