All Chapters of Too Late To Love Me: The Alpha’s Greatest Regret: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“Here, we’re done,” Clarissa said, placing her chin on my shoulder as her eyes met mine in the mirror. She had spent the last few minutes styling my hair, and there was something strangely comforting about having her do it for me. Maybe because it reminded me of when I was younger and Mom used to sit me between her knees and do my hair. For a moment, through Clarissa, I could almost feel Mom’s fingers running through my hair once again. I stared at my reflection for a second, taking it all in, and I had to admit, it looked… perfect. She had styled my hair into a soft and elegant half-up hairstyle, gathering the front sections away from my face while leaving the rest flowing freely down my back in loose, gentle waves. A few delicate strands had been left around my face, framing my features softly, while small pearl-like pins were tucked into the gathered section. A small smile slowly spread across my lips as my eyes met her warm hazel eyes in the mirror. “It’s so lovely.” I touche

The people who, in one way or another, held a position within the pack that made them worthy of standing beside us. And the great supoort they could render to Cayden and our pack. And just as attending our parties was considered an honor, I had always attended the gatherings of packs that were worthy of my presence. But those rules had never been created by me. They were simply the rules every Dark Knight Luna was expected to follow. And I had made quite a few enemies because of them. “Well, I never saw anything wrong with that,” Luna Kelsey said, her tone carrying an unmistakable hint of pride. I noticed the envy and irritation in the eyes of several other Lunas as they looked at her. “Well…” Luna Ophelia cleared her throat. “Perhaps since the discussion has been brought up, Luna Ava will make a few changes to that. “She smiled sweetly. “After all, here we all are, smiling at one another as if there is nothing wrong.” “Yes, that’s right. There is nothing wrong with letti

Clarissa’s voice suddenly came from outside, followed by a knock on the door. “Ava, are you in there?” I quickly opened my eyes and took a few slow breaths before answering. “Yes. I’m fine.” I tried to make my voice sound as normal as possible. “Thanks for worrying. I’ll be out soon.” “Okay. But if you need anything, just call me. I’ll have someone bring you another dress right away.” “Alright. Thank you.” I heard her footsteps slowly retreat. And only then did I release the breath I had been holding. I was sure she didn’t know who Natalie really was. If she did, I was certain she would ruin her own perfect party and lunched at her. But I didn’t want that. Clarissa had put so much effort into this. And besides, I still cared about the Dark Knight Pack’s image. Letting a scandal like this happen tonight wouldn’t look good for me or for them. So, I straightened myself, walking toward the sink. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I could still see my face slightly flushed

NATALIE’S POV I walked out of the restroom feeling like I was on top of the world, a satisfied and triumphant grin on my face. Now that Ava was exactly where I wanted her to be, all I had to do was wait for Cayden to realize that the tiny bit of hope he still had of getting back together with her…had just been broken. Then… He would have no other choice but to crawl back into my arms. I let out a loud laughter, swirling around with so much joy. This calls for another celebration, so I headed back into the hall and grabbed a glass of champagne, taking a sip, drinking to my victory as I remembered the look on Ava’s face back there. The way her face had crumpled. The way she had fallen to her knees right in front of me. Crying. I couldn’t believe she had been reduced to that. So weak. And pathetic. Did she really think someone like that was fit for her position? No. For you to hold that position, you have to be strong, calculating, and capable of stepping upon others just t

CAYDEN’S POV “Your father is currently in a meeting. If you could just…” I didn’t even wait for him to finish before pushing past him and shoving the door open. Every head in the room turned toward me the moment I stepped inside, including Dad’s, who sat at the head of the table. “I need to talk to you. Now.” He studied me for a moment, holding my gaze, before letting out a slow breath. Then he turned to the room. “We’ll continue this another time. You may all leave.” They exchanged glances before getting to their feet and filing out one after another until the door clicked shut behind the last person. The moment we were alone, I crossed the room and slammed the file down on the table in front of him. “What the hell is the meaning of this?” He barely glanced at it before picking up his cup and taking a sip of whatever it might contain. Then he lifted his eyes back to mine. Too calm and this only made my blood boil even more. “A warning.” “You’ve got to be kid
