All Chapters of Alpha's Regret, Begging My Convict Luna Back: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

Nathan’s POVMargaret stood frozen beside Sophia like a statue. Patrick had just run off seconds ago after the call he had with Aria.Sophia’s jaw tightened for a second before she pasted on a gracious smile and faced the remaining crowd.“I’m really sorry, everyone,” she began, her voice wavering just enough to seem sincere. “There was an emergency at the company. My father had to leave to deal with it.”Her gaze flicked to me, as if checking to see if I bought it, before she continued.“I’m sure you’ve all heard the rumors… about my sister…” She bit her lip, trembling just a little. “Since she won’t come back, we… we have to accept it. I apologize for the trouble.”She bowed so deeply her hair fell forward like a curtain. The crowd murmured, their righteous anger shifting. I watched as her performance softened them. My wolf snorted, tail flicking with distrust. Something about her didnt sit right with me.Then a voice cut through the air like a thrown dagger.“To think we defended A

Nathan's POVHer smile widened. It was feral, broken and triumphant. She turned and disappeared inside the house. My feet moved before my mind did. I followed her, helpless, like a wolf trailing the scent of his own crime.The door shut behind us. I went into her home with her.RIP—The sound of fabric tearing split the night.My heart stopped.Her shirt fell in two ragged halves.Her back was filled with scars, dozens of them.Some healed, some angry and raised. Some like claw marks. Some like lashes.My wolf whimpered out loud.“This…” My voice shattered. “Aria…”My throat closed. Words were impossible. Breathing was impossible.The memory of that night, the one I told myself was mutual, wanted and necessary, twisted into something monstrous and unforgivable.I could remember her soft cries, her trembling limbs, the way my wolf took over when she said no.Gods.What had I done?As if that was not enough, The next morning, when I learned about Aria's so-called “betrayal,” I let the r

Nathan's POVCollins stammered his agreement.When the call ended, I moved, driven purely by instinct. My wolf prowled beneath my skin, fur bristling, demanding justice, demanding blood.If I had known her truth sooner…If I hadn’t been so consumed by the fear of being loved…Maybe we would have been different.Maybe Lana would have been born under different circumstances, celebrated, not hidden.Maybe Aria wouldn’t hate me so much.Hours later, in my office, the screens glowed like ghosts in the dark. Collins handed me a tablet, the weight of it heavier than steel.It was the surveillance footage I had requested for.I saw Aria, her small frame in a prison uniform.Her dark hair yanked back, her cheek swollen, her belly already showing.My mate…My Luna was being treated like prey.My wolf roared, shattering my composure, claws ripping through my fingers as my control slipped. The screen shook in my trembling hands.They called her names, accused her of seduction dragged her across th

Nathan's POVHe froze.He knew I meant it. In Asterfell, I was one of the very few people you dare not cross.“It..it is in my safe…I will quickly fetch it for you”, he stuttered. I ordered Collins to follow him to ensure he doesn't tamper with it.Soon, the black box hit the table. My wolf paced inside me, claws scraping the edges of my mind. We should tear it open, he growled. I agreed.The lock clicked, metal groaning like it recognized me. Inside… there was a single USB. It looked very innocent to the eyes. My fingers trembled, claws threatening to break skin as I plugged it into the computer.The screen lit up.And my world ended.Aria, my mate, pale as moonlight, was giving birth alone in a concrete corner. Blood pooled around her like a macabre offering. Her wolf form flickered under her skin, unable to shift fully because of the silver collar at her throat. I remembered those scars… I remembered not asking.A growl rumbled from my chest, low, feral, vibrating the air. My visio

Aria's POVAmelia’s name flashed across my screen.I shifted Lana carefully in my arms, she was still clinging to my clothes as she slept. My wolf purred protectively inside me.I answered. “Amelia?”“Aria, I have news that might interest you,” she said, her voice curling like smoke, full of intrigue.“Hm, what might that be?” My tone was a bit warm.While I traced soothing circles on Lana’s back, Amelia relayed everything she had pried out of the hotel receptionist. The words slid into my ear like poison. Four months ago… Clarence had already been in Asterfell.My eyes turned glacial. My wolf let out a growl in my mind, her hackles raised. There was no reason for Clarence to be there alone. And if Clarence was there, then Patrick must have been there too. He always came to Asterfell a few times a year, staying for weeks. Pretending to be on business.A humorless smile curved my lips. Bold of him. So confident that the daughter he betrayed would never sniff out his trail. So arrogant
