A Love Reawakened: The Alpha's Regret 소설 & 이야기

We finally stop in the middle of the hall, and I glance at Rhea whose smile is so wide. "See the way father is looking at you," She whispers to me, and I slowly raise my gaze to check what she's talking about, but my heart stops beating at the sight that welcomes me. Alpha Ren has always looked handsome everyday, but the man I'm seeing now is way more handsome than the way he used to be. He's all graced in black royal robe, his raven hair is falling freely down his shoulders and stops on his waistline, with two braids on each end. His sparkling eyes melts my heart and takes my breath away. Wait! Why's he looking at me like that?

“At all. Let me tell you a secret. I have never loved her, you know… I only felt pity for her. I have always liked you, and I'm glad you turned out to be my mate.” “A strong Alpha like me needs a strong, beautiful Luna by my side, not that weak slave...” I froze. I could not believe what I was hearing. This was not happening. No, no, no. Without thinking, I pushed open the door and barged into the room. Never in a thousand years would I have expected the sight that lay before me. Jason and Chloe lay fully naked in each other's arms, and my eyes caught something else — the fresh mate bond mark on Jason's neck.

grabbing me while his thumb is resting on my mark, feeling the heartbeat there thudding like a traitor. "It’s still alive, it means something,” he whispers and makes the mistake of looking right into my eyes. Just like before, the pull starts winning and he shows weakness, wetting his lips with desire burning in the storm of his cold eyes. It matches the burning in my tummy because he looks just like the man I used to love, all intense and beautiful. But this guy is definitely not him. He’s not my Rem. "It means you’re going to regret your decisions forever, babe," I whisper, loving the way he stops and looks stunned for a second, as if I snapped him out of a trance, “Please stop touching me

the part that loved her, had never really died. It had just been buried under anger and regret. Now it was waking up again. And it scared me. Because if I couldn’t protect her and our children this time, I wasn’t sure I deserved to carry the title of Alpha anymore. I would find the truth. About the sigil. About Alisha’s father. About the lies that destroyed the woman I once loved. And this time, I would make it right. Even if it killed me.

The only thing she can do is to get better for Kayla, for her son, for herself, and for whatever lay ahead. The ride back to his pack was heavy with silence. Alpha Damien stared out the window, lost in thought. The image of Stephanie lying on the hospital bed replayed in his mind, bringing with it a flood of memories and regrets. He couldn't shake the guilt gnawing at him. His past actions had hurt her deeply, and seeing her in such a vulnerable state had forced him to confront the reality of his behavior.

"It wasn't meant to make you cry. You were supposed to understand why’ I murmur. She turns around and hugs me back. I can feel her fear, her uncertainty, everything is morphing to make her slip back to her habit of doubting everything. It takes her a bit of time to finally stop crying. And when she did, she spoke to me by saying “I wish you would love me half as much as you love her” I close my eyes, listening to Gates tell me that Alpha Beret has crossed the Dark Forest Tribe. I wish I could tell her how I love her in a different, deeper form that scares the shit out of me.

“I just don't want to lose you. You think it's easy seeing you like this? I can't bear to see you angry with me– yes, but I can trade this situation rather than looking at you entirely, especially to that excuse of an Alpha you are so infatuated with.” Whatever resolution I had to endure and stay silent about left immediately, and I chuckled darkly. “Oh dear, I began walking to his face. “You could kneel at my feet and cry blood, give me all your money and kill more people for my sake if you want.” His eyes widened at my last words, realising I had read the journal. “But guess what?” I continued. “You will never compare to Ares – not in this lifetime or the next. And I could tell you I love

I remembered the moment she yelled at me, her voice filled with pain: "Without knowing the depth of this, you chose to believe I was the culprit. Isn't that cruel?" Tears welled in my eyes. She was right. I had been cruel to her, and I'd never gotten the chance to make it right. “If we were to publish this story, what would we call it?” She had asked once. I let out a bitter laugh. "Alpha's Regret: Yearning for Her Love," I whispered. That would be the perfect title of our story. I gave up, hoping at least Harper would keep her words to erase my memories with Emily in her head. And Zaza, Mason and Madison will at least keep her safe.

A flicker of anger broke through his composure. “You dare—” “I dare,” I cut in with my voice turning cold. “Because I am Alpha.” The word settled between us like a blade. “You made your choices,” I said. “These are the consequences.” For a moment, I saw it, the realization. Not regret. But understanding. He had underestimated me for years. He would not again. I turned and left before he could answer. — — Home smelled like earth and rosemary. And sunlight. I slowed as I approached the back garden drawn by the soft murmur of two familiar voices.

CHAPTER TEN For a long while, the room was swallowed by silence. Not the calm kind—but the suffocating kind that pressed heavily against everyone’s chest. The shock of the scene left everyone utterly dumbstruck. Who in the pack didn’t know the marriage history between Alpha Ryker Hale and his ex-Luna, Ember Valen? It was a story whispered in every corner of the territory, a tragedy etched into collective memory. Yet now, seeing the Alpha—who had barely spoken in three years—clinging tightly to the very woman he had once rejected, no one knew whether to laugh or cry.
