All Chapters of The Alpha's Regret: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Author's POVVivian smiled the moment the call ended. She slowly pulled the phone away from her ear, her grin growing widening.“Yes!” She muffled her excitement. She set the phone down slowly, her chest rising and falling quickly as she savored the white satisfaction spreading in her chest. This was exactly what she planned. This was exactly how she had envisaged it. The cracks in Ethan's voice. The panic she had caused him was just enough to make him tremble through the phone. He was already unraveling exactly as she had planned it.“You think you're smart. Let's see how you play your way out of this pregnancy, Ethan.”She quickly dialed another number. He picked up on the second ring. “Well?”“He's coming back. Exactly as we have predicted. He's running back to the pack. Back from Willowbrook and straight into my arms hopefully.”“And the pregnancy story?”“Yes, working perfectly. He didn't even question it much. He sounded like he believed it.”“Are you sure he believed it?”“Wel

James's POV…2 days later…My gaze darted across the room."Winters Realty has closed twelve major transactions this past year," I said, sliding the folder across the table. "Zero disputes. Zero complaints. Every client is satisfied.” I leaned away from my seat. “If you need evidence, the evidence is there.”Halloway leaned back in his chair, skeptical as always. He pulled at his tire line or suddenly became too tight and was choking him.“I see what you are doing, Mr, James. Tell us.” He paused watching me. “What are you proposing exactly?”“A very simple proposal. I request full council backing for her expansion into the eastern district.”Halloway’s brows knitted together as he stopped twirling his own around his fingers. “That's a pretty solid and significant investment for someone new in our circle. She's not even stayed up to six months in Willowbrook and we are already offering her a full expansion into the eastern district?” Halloway scoffed, loud enough that it carried acros

James's POVEthan arrived faster than I expected, barely twenty minutes after I dropped the call with him. He walked into the room with his jaw set, his eyes darting across the room. His beta, Marcus trailed a step behind him.“You wanted to talk to me.” Marcus said without greetings or pleasantries. “I’m here now. I'm quite a busy man. Get straight to the point.”I gestured to the chair across from me.“Have a seat.”Ethan shook his head.“I prefer to stand. I don't have time.”I let it slide, not pushing him any further and when I spoke, I made sure to choose my words carefully.“I called you here because I want to discuss something important to you but before then I think we need to establish something clearly between us before we go any further.”I watched his jaw tick.“Establish what?”“Boundries. We need to know where we stand.”Ethan's eyes narrowed. “What flipping boundaries are you on about?”“Words reached my ears that ever since you stepped into my city you've been searchi

Ruby's POVI sat on my bed, my phone in my hand as I kept scrolling past the same unread messages I had been avoiding for two days."You're being ridiculous,” I muttered to myself.I had to come to terms with reality and tell myself the truth. James hadn't done anything wrong and neither was he being overbearing. All the messages he had sent me were deliberate, considerate and not pushy like I imagined it would be and yet I left it on read refusing to reply to it like some coward who couldn't face her fears."Stop it, Ruby." I dropped the phone onto the mattress. "You know exactly why you're doing this."The bitter truth was I knew exactly why I was avoiding him. I knew exactly what the problem was. I was scared and traumatized if I was being honest with myself. I was still shaken by the aftermath of everything Ethan had put me through and I was scared that if I let myself fall for James too quickly and easily it wouldn't end well and would be me running straight into another version

Author's POV Vivian paced the length of her room, phone pressed tight against her ear. She had been pondering since morning on how she could make her plan work since it was obvious that Ethan was no longer afraid of the consequences. “Ethan is hell bent on bringing Ruby back to the pack and if he succeeds I'm out of this pack for good. He's slipping slipping away from me and that's why I need this to work.”“Remember when I told up that Alphas aren't easily manipulated, I knew exactly what I was saying. They have such strong instincts. Anyway. I can handle what ever you need me to.” The man on the other end said, his voice smooth and unbothered. “Just tell me what you need.”“There's an elder I want to contact. His name is Gabi. Elder Gabi oversees infrastructure decisions for the whole pack. He's also the chief of elders. He's like a mini Boss.”“Okay….. what do to want me to do?”“You'll call and tell him to are from Willowbrook. Tell him to come from old money and that to are tie
