A Love Reawakened: The Alpha's Regret Novels & Stories

I scowled as I looked right into his eyes. "I am the Alpha now and you know, alphas accept their wrong actions and take responsibilities when wrong. And yes, I know my actions back then when I had foolishly rejected you as my mate, my action then was completely stupid but I'm here now to set it all right!!" He mumbled in a low tone. I couldn't say a word to that. All I ever needed at this point was love, a pure love not for benefits. I had to accept the fact that Darwin can never love me, he was here because I was his living antidote. He wanted to keep his progeny safe, he never wanted to be the last of his kind.

“Don't you think it's dangerous to allow everyone to awaken? What if they rebel?” “Esme, do you know what I had to do to awaken?” I asked Esme and she just kept looking at me. I knew she didn't know, it was forbidden to tell someone about your awakening as an alpha. another ridiculous rule laid down by the council. “I had to kill more than thirty fully awakened alpha's. I'm not scared of a couple hundred awakened wolves, if they cross the line then it is my duty to put them in their place. Be ready, you are first.”

My pulse was too loud, my thoughts too messy. Regret clawed at my chest. I shouldn’t have let that happen. He was my boss. This was a mistake. A terrible, unforgivable mistake. But beneath the regret, another feeling stirred. One I hated. I had broken a promise to myself. I had sworn never to be with an alpha again. The last time I had given my heart to an alpha, it had ended in betrayal. His name had been Lucas. I had loved him. Completely. We had spent two years together. Two years of laughter, of whispered words in the dark, of believing he was different.

“I will be a good wife to you. I swear, I will be your perfect mate!” Silence rings in the room. Hope blossoms in my heart. Maybe he’s starting to consider. I take a step closer to him. But he just snaps the driver’s neck like a dry twig, letting him fall down the steps heavily. Dead. Slowly, he walks towards me, and this time I can see the cold grayness of his eyes. Bright and dark at the same time, like a flash of lightning behind storm clouds. “My heart is already spoken for,” the Alpha King interjects, and it shocks me to hear tenderness in his tone. Like he regrets even having this interaction with me. “I… reject you. No matter how many times you come back, I will reject you.”

His face was etched with disbelief and a profound, gut-wrenching regret. "Seraphina...?" His voice was a rough rasp, barely audible. He reached a hand out, hesitant, pleading. I flinched back. Not in fear. Not anymore. Anger, cold and sharp, sliced through the lingering shock. The memory of his dismissive gaze, the casual contempt, the way he’d let others mock me – it all surged back, fueled by the Alpha power now coursing through my veins. I lifted my chin, meeting his agonized gaze directly. My voice, when I spoke, was clear and steady, carrying easily in the tense silence. Stronger than it had ever been.

Everything is real. Just yesterday, I was just that Alpha... That Alpha that was revenge driven... That Alpha that didn't care about any fucking thing other than making Linda Cooper seed suffer. But today, it's a different story... It's me and her... Dressed in suit and the finest gown exchanging vows for the second time. Ever heard of second time charm? This is my charm. And in that kiss, I pour all the regrets, all the pain, all the hope, and every ounce of love I have into her. When I finally pull back, her eyes are glassy, and her hands don't let go.

Instead, I let my curiosity get the better of me and turned on the TV. “We have exclusive footage of the heartwarming reunion between Alpha Noah and his former bonded mate, Zoe,” the anchorman stated. “You can see the love is strong between them—” I quickly switched channels. “With the return of Alpha Noah’s former bonded mate, it’s only a matter of time before he leaves his current Luna,” a host in a roundtable gossip show argued. “I don’t know. I think that he has too much honor for that,” the second host countered.

She said in a low voice filled with empathy and understanding . I swallowed forcefully against the mounting uneasiness and shook my head. “I do.” I said. “But I can't remember everything.” Her eyes were filled with silent pity as she slowly nodded. “It’s alright. You will remember. Everything will be returned to you. But just know that the Alpha is here right now. He genuinely loves you. He’s been waiting for a long time, earnestly praying to the moon goddess for you.” As the thought the pain in my chest intensified. It seemed as if there had always been a connection there but I was unable to recall it. Smiling softly, the maid gave my hand a gentle squeeze.

His frustration filled the room, thick and suffocating. "I love you," he confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. "And I hate myself for it. Loving you is forbidden, and I don’t know how to handle it." For the first time, I saw his eyes glisten with unshed tears. The realization sent a fresh wave of pain through me. His love was written all over his face, yet it was tearing him apart. Should I be happy that he felt the same or devastated that it hurt him this much? "Elijah, look at me." I gently cupped his face, forcing him to meet my gaze. "You are the Alpha. What happened to the man who had no weakness? I want to see that Alpha again. And I won’t be your weakness—I’ll be your strength.

"She is my Queen. She always has been." I stared down at him, my mind swirling with deep emotions. The pain of my past life—the cold isolation, the betrayal, the rain—did not magically disappear. But standing here, watching the most powerful Alpha in the northern territories kneel in the dust and place his very soul in my hands, I knew he was no longer the man who had broken my heart. He was a man reborn, forged in the fire of his own terrible regret. I slowly pulled a small golden hair dagger from my hair clip, lightly slicing my own palm. I pressed my bleeding hand against his.
