Lahat ng Kabanata ng Too Late To Love Me: The Alpha’s Greatest Regret: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 149

CAYDEN’S POV“Thank you for allowing me to spend the day with you and Leo.”Ava glanced at me, her expression guarded, before she quickly shifted it back to the road.“I did it for Leo, not for you.”I couldn't help chuckling at her defensive response, especially since she had spent the entire day insisting that she wanted nothing to do with me while still agreeing to accompany us from one place to another.There was no need to point that out or she would choose to end the conversation, which I didn't want, at least not yet.“No problem.” I replied, masking my amusement. “I understand.”She narrowed her eyes at me, suspicious of my sudden agreement, but before she could say anything else, I decided to change the topic.“So have you thought about your honeymoon? Where are you guys going?”“So…your wedding.”Her expression changed, and I knew I had touched a sensitive subject, with the way she glared at me. Did she hate me so much?“What about it?” Her voice had dropped low, and I smile

AVA’S POV“Has Liam arrived yet?”I glanced at Gina standing beside the door, hoping to see some good news on her face, but her hesitant expression made my heart sink.“Not yet, but I'm sure he'll be here soon.”I looked at the time and tried to keep my expression calm, even though Liam was already late enough to make me uncomfortable.“Gina. This cannot be happening please. Have you tried calling him?”She walked up to me, her hand on my shoulders, “ I'm sure Liam will be here soon.” She said, but still… I was feeling a little unease.I let out a quiet breath, “Thank you for being here, Gina.” I sighed, and turned back toward the mirror, adjusting the veil on my head while trying to ignore the growing noise outside the bridal room.The wedding guests had begun arriving hours ago, and I could only imagine what they were thinking now that the groom had failed to show up.“Maybe he's stuck in traffic,” I heard one of the women suggest, and my heart tightened even more.What was Liam doi

“Why are you doing this?” I asked, struggling to keep my voice steady. “Why do you keep deciding what I can and cannot do?”“You need to stay here for now.”“That’s not an answer. You keep telling me what I need to do, but you never explain why you think you have the right to make these decisions for me.”He lowered his gaze briefly before looking at me again. “I know you’re upset, and I understand why you want to leave, but I can’t let you go back tonight.”I shook my head, feeling my anger rise all over again. “You’re unbelievable.”A small, tired smile touched his lips. “I’ve been told.”“Get out.”His smile faded, and he nodded before leaving without another word.I stared at the closed door, wishing he had argued with me instead of accepting my demand so easily. I wanted him to understand how much he had hurt me, but every time he backed away, I was left with the same questions and no one to answer them.For the rest of the evening, he kept finding reasons to come back into the r

“Of course.” I folded my arms. “You can disappear into secret calls and make decisions about everyone’s lives, but I’m not even allowed to return home.”His expression hardened for the first time that day. “This isn’t about controlling you.”“Then stop treating me like I’m incapable of making my own choices.”He looked away, and the conversation ended there.The second day was no better.He brought me breakfast again, but I ate in silence while he sat across from me, occasionally checking his phone.Whenever I asked about returning to my father’s pack, he gave me the same answer, and every time he avoided explaining himself, my hatred grew.I spent most of the day thinking about Leo.I wondered whether he was confused about why I had not come home, whether my father had told him anything, and whether Liam had already decided that I had abandoned him at the altar.The thought of Liam waiting for me while the guests whispered about my disappearance made my stomach twist.“Have you spoke

I was angry with Cayden for keeping the truth from me, angry with Liam for the possibility that he had planned to abandon me, and angry with myself for believing I understood Cayden well enough to know why he had done what he did. Most of all, I was terrified that the man I had spent the past three days wishing would disappear from my life might actually be dying. I turned toward the house. “Ava,” Liam called after me, but I didn't stop. I had to speak with Cayden. After everything we had been through, I needed him to look me in the eyes and tell me why he had hidden something so devastating from me. Why he had decided to carry all of it alone, and why he thought he could make choices about my life without giving me the truth? If he wanted to argue, I would argue with him. If he wanted to remain silent, I would keep demanding answers. And if he thought I was going to let him hide behind that calm expression again, he was wrong. “Cayden!” I rushed toward the house, det
