A Love Reawakened: The Alpha's Regret นิยาย & เรื่องราว

“You think that she’ll love you more because you refuse to hit me?” He rolled his eyes at me. “No, but she loves me because I respect her…..something you clearly don’t know how to do. Maybe you should work on yourself before trying to get a woman.” My jaw hardened. “You really think that she loves you? Zoey is still very much in love with me and isn’t getting over me anytime soon.” I replied, letting out a bitter scoff. “You’re just a rebound. An ordinary rebound.” “It’s enough!” Zoey’s angry voice echoed through the room. “Stop acting like a fucking child! You’re an Alpha of a pack for goodness’ sake!”

He saw me lean into the touch, my eyes closed in a look of pure, unadulterated peace. A jagged pain sliced through Kael’s chest. It wasn't the broken mate bond. It was something worse. It was the realization that the woman he had thrown away was flourishing in a way she never would have with him. He had traded a goddess for a liar, and now he was watching the king claim his throne. His first spark of soul crushing regret ignited, burning hotter than any pack fire. He gripped the stone ledge of the garden wall until his knuckles turned white, his wolf howling in silence at the sight of another man touching what should have been his.

“Why didn’t you tell me? Five years, five damn years and you stay silent? And now he just walks back into your life like nothing happened?” He ran a hand through his hair, pacing like a raging animal. “Do you even realize who he is?” His voice dropped, dangerous. “He’s the Alpha King. Have you been running from him all these years?” A heavy silence followed. Draven clenched his eyes shut, muttering under his breath. Fuck fuck fuck! Draven pinched his eyes. He had claimed her, made her his mate, without knowing! Without knowing that man was her past. The Alpha king! And now.. That man was back. Not by coincidence. But with a purpose.

I stood and walked to the window, watching the guards shift below, their heads low in deference. Alaric still hadn't returned. He was probably at the ruins again, digging through ash like he expected her to rise from it but she wouldn't. And even if she did… my grip tightened on the edge of the window, I won't lose him to her anymore! She was a mistake he would learn to forget soon. I touched my stomach gently and whispered the only truth that mattered. "No matter what… Alaric is mine and my child will be the future Alpha."

Tears welled up, but I couldn’t remember why exactly. He leaned closer. The cold in his eyes didn’t soften. He didn’t touch me. He just watched, waiting for me to do the work he knew I could. “Tania. You’re not going to get through this by hiding. Remember it now, this is no fuc king plea, it's a command from your Alpha.” “My Alpha?”

The entire day was a mess. I couldn’t focus. Files blurred in front of me. Meetings made no sense. Every few minutes, I found myself reaching for my phone… calling Ella's number again. Still not going through. My wolf was restless now. No… not just restless. He was in pain. I leaned back in my chair, running my hand through my hair. “What is wrong with you?” I muttered to myself. Lydia is back. The woman I once loved. The one I thought I lost forever.

"And you let her stand in your kitchen in your clothes and let me find out on my own" "I didn't let anything, I was asleep, I didn't even know she was still—" "You knew enough to give her your shirt." He had nothing for that. His mouth opened again and nothing came out at all. "I was ready to stop being angry at you," I said. "I'm not anymore." I stepped back from him, far enough that his hand fell away on its own. "I, Alice Watson, hereby reject you, Alpha Benjamin Kane, as my mate." The words came out cold and even, older than either of us. "Don't ever come around me again."

While I… My heart broke remembering I had nothing, compared to Hagan's perfect Luna - I had nothing. “She's definitely going to be limping when they're done. The Alpha seems like a rough man” One of them let out and they all laughed. My throat stung, picturing everything they'd been saying. “Hey, back to work you two. The Alpha's sexual life is none of your business.” Beta Roy's voice tore through. I felt his gaze shift to my back. I didn't realize it but I had been moving so slow. Slow enough you'd know something was wrong.

“Miss, perhaps you should step aside. Before the smell gets worse.” “Yes, please,” a younger woman added, fanning herself. “Some of us are trying to breathe here.” The laughter was deafening now. Leslie tried to speak but nothing came out. Her throat was closing. Her eyes were burning. She looked at Tony one more time. He wasn’t even looking at her anymore. He’d turned back to the cameras, that perfect smile plastered on his face again. “Go home, Leslie, the Northern Territory Alphas are watching.” he said quietly. Coldly. “And don’t come out until you figure out how not to embarrass me.”

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.
