Lahat ng Kabanata ng Be Careful With My Heart, Alpha Reginald : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Nimue POVThe morning sun filtered fresh rays through the small window of my cottage, I appreciated the subtle warmth on my skin as I teased and turned in between tangled sheets. I stretched my hand across the bed, a soft smile already forming on my lips as I prepared to meet Reginald’s warm embrace.My fingers brushed against the cold empty part of the bed.I opened my eyes, blinking against the light. The spot beside me was completely vacant. The sheets were cold, meaning he had been gone for hours.Or maybe I was just assuming things."Reginald?" I called out, drowsily, in between sleep.Silence answered me.Uneasy feelings began to settle into the pit of my stomach. I sat up, pulling the blanket around my shoulders, and looked around the small room. Everything looked exactly as it had last night, except for a small piece of folded paper resting on the table.I could only manage a smile as I assumed maybe he stepped.I don’t know how much I had slept, but I loved the joy that bubbl

Nimue POVThe silence that followed his gasp was deafening, but loud enough to crush the lungs of anyone weaker than the woman I had become.I kept my expression entirely neutral, keeping my steps measured, graceful, and slow as I descended the grand staircase. I didn't show a single ounce of the shy, blushing omega girl he once knew. I was the matriarch here.“Wh… what are you doing here?” Reginald stammered, his eyes wide and frantic, searching my face for a joke that wasn't coming.Then, his gaze dropped to Reggie, who was clinging tightly to my hand. I watched his brain physically try to process the child’s appearance. Reggie had my dark curls, but the fierce golden eyes and sharp jawline were undeniably Hathaway traits. Reginald actually took a physical step backward, his chest heaving as if he had been struck.At the bottom of the stairs, Gerald stepped forward. With a smooth, deliberate motion, he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me securely against his side. It was a c

Nimue POV“So, this is it?” Reginald barked, slamming the doors behind him as he stormed further into the boardroom. I could see anger in his eyes as they darted between Gerald and myself. “This is how you two are going to play in my face? Embarrassing me in front of the staff and the board of executives?”I could not help the cold sensations in my stomach. I immediately tried to step away from Gerald to gather my scattered documents off the table, eager to remove myself from the impending storm. But before I could take a step, Gerald’s arm reached out, his firm hand anchoring around my waist to hold me securely at his side.Gerald looked up at his son, looking unbothered and cool. “Why are you interrupting a private conversation between a husband and wife, Reginald?”Reginald eased into a subtle disbelieving laugh, throwing his hands in the air. “Dad, cut the crap! You’re too old to be a two-timing—” He caught himself mid-sentence, the words dying in his throat as his father’s eyes n

Nimue POVAfter returning from the Hathaway mansion that night, I already knew one thing with certainty.I was not going to accept Alpha Gerald’s offer.No matter how luxurious the mansion was…No matter how kind he had treated me…I could not abandon my home.The tiny vineyard cottage might have looked old and insignificant compared to the grand Hathaway Estate, but to me, it was everything.It was the last piece of my family left in this world.Every corner of that cottage carried memories.My grandmother’s laughter still echoed inside those walls.I could still remember her sitting beside the fireplace shelling peas while humming old Moon Goddess hymns softly under her breath.I remembered evenings when we shared one blanket because winter became too cold.I remembered harvesting grapes together under the summer sun.I remembered her final moments too.The way she held my hand weakly inside this same cottage before taking her final breath.How could I leave that behind?How could I

Reginald POVEver since that strange moment with Reggie in the garden, I have not been able to think straight.The boy stayed in my head constantly.His eyes.His scent.Even the way he looked at me with that stubborn little glare that reminded me too much of myself.It made no sense.And then there was Nimue.Every time I looked at her, my chest burned with anger and confusion. I still could not understand how she could marry my father after everything between us. Some ugly part of me kept whispering that maybe she had done it to punish me because there was no other valid reason. Maybe she had wanted revenge badly enough to carry his child and force me to watch her become Luna of this house.The thought made my wolf restless.For days, I avoided everyone.Avoided family dinners.Avoided pack meetings.Avoided her.But avoiding Nimue inside this mansion was impossible.Especially because somehow, she had completely taken over the household.And tonight, I finally saw just how much pow
