All Chapters of Alpha's Regret, His Rejected Luna is Hidden Heiress: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Richard's POVThe moment I saw Ceres with Dexter in that restaurant, something inside me snapped. The sight of them together—so familiar, so close—burned like wildfire in my chest, and it only grew stronger the longer I watched. I could feel my control slipping, the rage building inside me, until I couldn’t hold it back any longer. I had to confront her.Looking at her now, the emotionless expression on her face after she had just slapped me made my anger flare hotter.I suppressed my wolf, preventing it from surfacing.She turned to leave, and for a moment, I thought she’d just walk away, but then she surprised me. She took two slow steps toward me, closing the space between us until we were almost nose to nose.My heart pounded, erratic and loud in my ears. If I moved even a fraction closer, I could feel her—her warmth, her scent, everything about her would be so close I could taste it. My eyes locked onto hers, and for a second, I forgot where I was, lost in her gaze. She was beaut

Ceres's POVI observed the employees gathered around, their postures tense, ears flicking at the sound of Joseph’s voice as he delivered his public submission. His gaze flickered with humiliation, but he held his head high, his wolf recognizing the dominance I exuded.Satisfied, I dismissed the matter and moved on to the next order of business.The next day, Hellen finally responded to my summons. We met at a quiet café nestled deep within neutral territory.Hellen arrived with her usual grace, her presence commanding yet cool.“It’s good to see you well,” she said smoothly, offering a polite but distant smile. “I would’ve attended the Hemsworth’s Corporation banquet, but I had other matters to tend to. My apologies—but congratulations on your return and also your new position as President of the Corporation.”I mirrored her polite tone, though my wolf bristled slightly at her choice of words. “Thank you, I understand”. Her presence wasn’t necessary. Word travels quickly in our world.

Richard's POV“Richard,” she said coldly, resuming her strides in the direction of her car.“Ceres,” I breathed, approaching her gently, my wolf surging toward her even as I fought to keep my body still.“Please. I need to talk to you, just briefly.”She didn’t even glance at me. “I don’t have the time.”My wolf whined deep in my chest, restless and pained.“I just really need to talk to you,” I said, stepping in front of her. “Please don’t go.”She sighed, arms folding across her chest like armor. “Fine. You have five minutes. Go ahead and talk.”This wasn’t how I planned it. I’d reserved an entire restaurant, imagined the scene where I’d kneel and beg her forgiveness under candlelight, not in the parking lot beneath streetlights“Not here. This isn’t the right place—”“Then I take it you really don’t want to talk.” She spun on her heel.“No, wait—okay,” I said quickly. “Okay. I’ll talk here.”I swallowed hard. My throat was dry, my voice cracked with emotion.“I remember, Ceres,” I

Ceres's POVMy breath hitched.It was Jason.The same man whom i had escaped just few weeks ago. How come it never occured to me that he might be responsible for my kidnap?He stepped into the room like a storm brewing, tall and rugged, his presence radiating raw Alpha energy that coiled around the air like thick smoke. That unique scent radiating from him, stung my senses.“Jason,” I spat, my voice sharper than intended. My wolf’s hackles rose as I took a step back. “Or should I say… Jackson?”His jaw clenched. That name was probably like a silver knife to his pride.“Ceres—”“So it was you,” I cut him off, standing with clenched fists. My entire body trembled, not with fear—but rage. My wolf paced beneath my skin, teeth bared. “You’re the one who had me drugged, dragged here like some stolen artifact?”He took a slow step forward, arms slightly outstretched as if I would melt into them. The nerve. “I didn’t want it to be like this. I swear, I just… I couldn’t stay away from you.”I

Richard's POVJustin hesitated for a second, then said. “Alright. I would start from the top so you would understand everything. After Ceres fell into the sea at your boat cruise, Jason saved her life and took her to his pack. He never contacted us. He knew we were searching everywhere for her yet he never reached out. He wouldn't also let her go when she fully recovered. He kept her almost like a prisoner.” I frowned. “So he held her hostage.” “Exactly. Eventually, Ceres managed to reach out. She contacted my father’s old friend, Mario, who runs a business in Larvania, through your stepmother's stepdaughter, Samantha.” He paused and continued, “My father's friend reached out to us and that's how we rescued Ceres then. After her rescue, my father gifted Ceres a silver necklace and made her promise to wear it always. That necklace has a tracker in it.” He pulled up a map on his phone and turned the screen toward me. A red dot blinked slowly. We’ve been monitoring it ever since. And
