บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Regret : บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

KYRAN.I leaned back against the neat sofa, gaze fixed on the boy sitting next to me, flipping through one of his school textbooks with nonchalance.He was fourteen now, growing taller every day, but I could see the restless tension hiding behind his calm eyes.Veyron sat across from us in a cheap wooden chair, sliding his phone across the glass coffee table between us."Take a look at this, Alpha," Veyron said quietly, nodding toward the bright screen.I leaned forward, my gaze falling on the image displayed on the phone.It was a photo of Arlan lying flat on his back in a dirty ditch, his eyes closed, looking lifeless.My chest tightened instantly, my wolf growling low in my throat before I could even stop myself."Explain this right now, Veyron," I demanded, my tone dropping into an icy, dangerous register.Arlan paused his reading, leaning over my arm to stare at the picture of himself on the screen."Dad?" Arlan called softly, his voice remarkably steady for a kid looking at his

MABEL. “If you came to beg for your grandfather's sake, I say you drop it.” His face was wrinkled with worry, his hands clenched at his side. His eyes dropped.“My grandfather is not …” “Unless you want to take the blame for what he did?” I asked with a raised brow. I stepped out of the door, coming close to him. “Move,” I ordered, my voice gravelly with a hum that could shatter glass. His face paled, and he subconsciously took multiple steps backwards. He didn't walk away; instead, he still stood in front of me, keeping a considerable distance. “You have decided to execute him; I think you should reconsider the punishment. After all, my grandfather was a devoted pack member. How would people react if the grand elder they have known all their lives is hanged to die?” He thinks I should reconsider? He didn't beg. He was telling me what to do? A little audacious for a mass of bone that I could break in one move, don't you think? “Since you asked, I would answer,” I said. One ste

MABEL. I watched as Kyran took up the contract and signed it before sliding it back to me. I took it up and stared at it. His signature was the same when he signed the divorce agreements years ago, and now, we are signing for a remarriage. Never have I thought I would be proposing this to the man I hate the most. But for now, it's actually worth it. I hope so. I tucked the contract back into the large gown pocket. Evie had sewn it herself for me because she said I looked better with long flowy gowns. I stood up, still feeling his gaze on me. My tongue curled in anger, but I met his eyes, and for a brief second, my body actually stilled. It was as if my wolf refused to glance away. The pendant glowed, then I turned away from him, staring ahead to the black Mercedes parked outside, accompanied by two other cars in wait. The surroundings were just an open space. One thing about talking around pools was that the water current made every wolf around unable to hear what was being sai

GENA.There was flour everywhere. On my hands, my wrists, even a smear of it on my cheek, probably. But right now, I didn’t care. I had gotten used to the powder all over my clothes ever since I arrived here. I pressed my palm into the dough, then poured more water onto it as sweat rolled down my face. “Did you hear?” one of the maids said, not even bothering to lower her voice. “The Alpha of Darknile's pack is remarrying his ex-wife.”My hands just stopped moving on their own, mid-press, flour sticking to my fingers like glue.I didn't turn to look at them; I just remained there, wondering if Darknile's pack had more than one Alpha. It couldn't be Kyran. It couldn't be. “Wait, remarrying?” another maid said, leaning over the counter with her eyes wide. “As in Alpha Kyran? To Mabel?”“Mhm. Heard it from one of the guards. It was so sudden, and everyone, even Alphas, knew of it.” My chest tightened. I finally decided to turn, to crane my neck just enough to peek at them. How they

MABEL.My eyes widened. This scene … the scent of her strong deodorant, and how she curled closer to him. I swallowed, my fingers slowly curling as I stared at the man on the bed with her. I didn't process the scene properly. First, I searched everywhere for Kyra and came here after Arlan told me that she had followed Kyra Not only was Kyra not here, but Kyran was entangled on the bed with her. Gena’s body pressed against him while she leaned even closer at my presence. I turned to look at Kyran again. His lips moved, but no words came out. He looked helpless on the bed, face burning red like it was some fever. A soft moan escaped Gena's lips as she trembled a bit on his body. Kyran's hands were on her waist, gripping tight, and his face was red. I didn't know why, but my chest burned a bit. It was as if something was twisting viciously. “Mabel …” Gena said softly, “don't blame Kyran, he just wanted me so much and I …” her voice cracked as she feigned tears, “ I couldn't say n
