All Chapters of Alpha's Regret, Begging My Convict Luna Back: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Aria's POV“Great.” I replied, exhaling, some of the tension in my muscles easing. My wolf purred beneath my skin. I smiled lightly and didn’t dare ask further questions. Too many questions would lead to places I wasn’t ready to go.“Ta-da!” Rowland stepped forward, opening the door for me.The door swung open, and a modern office stretched before me. A light gray carpet like fog at dawn, floor-to-ceiling windows that breathed open sky. White curtains fluttered beautifully. A metallic photo frame stood on a marble table with my picture inside.I froze. This room was built specifically to my taste. Too much thoughtfulness that must have gone into its making.A twinge of emotion clawed through my chest, sharp and unfamiliar. I hated not knowing what I felt. Rowland watched me, his eyes softening.“What do you think?” he asked, smiling with that fearless confidence of someone who never heard “no” in his life.“It’s beautiful. I love it,” I replied, clenching my fists until my claws prick

Aria's POVReporters scrambled, fear rolling off them in a fog as they fled.I watched coldly as Patrick, Margaret and Sophia followed them away, my wolf bristling just beneath my skin.My grandmother’s will had been crystal clear: she had never approved of Patrick as a son-in-law. Her instincts had always been sharp; she said that no matter how considerate he appeared, he was distrustful and dangerous.And Margaret… hopelessly devoted to him, as if bewitched. As if some unseen spell tangled around her like chains. Even after marriage, grandmother made sure Margaret kept at least ten percent of the Darvin Group’s shares to herself.I tore my eyes away from them before the anger behind them turned my irises gold.Margaret had just thrown away all the protection our grandmother gave her.My chest tightened, claws of emotion scraping from the inside. My wolf paced restlessly, feeling my resentment.Suddenly, strong arms scooped me up.I gasped, a startled cry slipping out before I could

Aria's POVI thought of Margaret, my mother, trusting the wrong people. Loving the wrong man. Walking willingly into the jaws of evil wolves.“My mother has a heart,” I said softly. “I don’t.”For a moment, Clarence hesitated. Then, stupidly, she smirked.“While she cried over a body she thought was mine,” Clarence whispered, leaning in, “Patrick was beside me, laughing.” She chuckled.The sound echoed bright and cruel, like silver bells dipped in poison.My wolf snarled, gold flooded my vision. The recording pen in my hand clicked off.“So you admit it,” I murmured. “Faked death, fraud, conspiracy and helped.”Clarence stepped forward, trying to reclaim her edge. “You won’t stop me, Aria, you can't. Also, stay away from Nathan. My daughter will have him.”It was her audacity for me. The delusion.I tugged the file from her grip. She held tight onto it, her teeth bared.“Let it go!” I arched my brow.My wolf bristled the moment Clarence’s mask slipped. Gone was the gentle facade she w

Nathan's POV"Don't touch me," I hissed slowly but my body betrayed me, causing me to collapse back into the seat. The room spun. Aria blurred into memory and reality all at once.Sophia's palm landed on my chest.I recoiled, instinctively.Then my gaze lifted.For a split second... her face overlapped with Aria's. My wolf whimpered, confused. My heart was torn, my soul bleeding.I reached for her wrist, barely conscious, my voice breaking."Ar... Aria?"She froze. Then her heartbeat changed, a cold thrill rushing through her. She leaned closer, her breath brushing my ear."I'm Aria," she whispered. "You're drunk. Let me take you to rest."My wolf recoiled, snarling. Liar. You are not our mate.But my body was weak. My vision was fading.And guilt... guilt was a leash around my throat.So I didn't fight when she pulled me up."Dad, Mom, Nathan's drunk," Sophia announced proudly. "I'll take him to a hotel."Patrick waved lazily. Clarence nodded.As Sophia helped me stumble forward, I l

Aria's POVSophia's gaze snapped to Nathan, then to Rowland, then back to me, burning with hatred."You think just because you're close to Alpha Nathan's nephew...""Oh, sweetheart," I cut her off, brushing hair behind my ear, "if I wanted to lean on power, this would be over already. But humiliating you personally?" My smile sharpened."That's just a bonus. Now leave"She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could fire back, Rowland moved, He grabbed her by the collar and tossed her out the door like she weighed nothing.The thud was satisfying."Bang..."The door slammed shut.Her fists hammered on the other side in muffled shrieks that were caught by sharp ears."Aria! You lunatic, let me in! This is my room, what right do you have to be in there!"I turned my gaze from the door just as Nathan who had tried to embrace me earlier came towards me again. Rowland yanked him away from me before he could wrap his arms around me.Nathan toppled backward onto the bed, his eyes clouded
