Alpha's Regret Jessica Hall Novels & Stories

“Welcome to the Alpha family, Nicole. You finally killed the first person of your life." Wait, what? Did I kill Justin? * #TBC

"You simply exposed it earlier." She recoiled. "So it's on me." "No." The response was crisp. "It's the greed of Alphas who encounter something beyond their grasp and aim to shatter or claim it. It's my oversight for missing the intruder in my midst. It's not your blame for being here." She scanned my expression, hunting for deceit, discovering none. Some stiffness eased from her frame. "What's going to happen to Jessica?" she probed. "She'll be managed." I provided no specifics. The less knowledge she held, the better protected she was.

Jessica was a rogue in the previous life, and she is mute. She couldn't make a sound, but she was knowledgeable, very familiar with herbs, and knew every forest like the back of her hand. She accepted Cynthia's employment as an assistant and helped her find many antidotes to poisonous herbs. Cynthia always thought Jessica was an orphan, and in her previous life, Jessica never mentioned her parents. However, when Jessica woke up in Cynthia's car, she told Cynthia that she was the Alpha's daughter of the Lily Pack. "Take me away, please. I don't want to marry the Alpha's son of the Thorn Pack."

He feared the unknown, feared something like this happening. And now his worst nightmare had come true. I knew he would blame himself, even though it wasn’t his fault. The Moon Goddess, who gave life and took it away, had called the Alpha home. There was no questioning that. “Do you know where Williams is?” I finally asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Jessica hesitated. “He’s either in the house or with the council of elders, preparing for the funeral.” A fresh wave of sorrow washed over me. The Alpha had treated me like a daughter. He had protected me, made sure I was safe, made sure I felt at home here. And now he was gone. The pain of his loss twisted in my chest, sharp and unrelenti

Without hesitation, I dialed his number, wanting nothing more than to speak with him about Jessica and ask him if I could help Kyle get better. “Oh my goddess, Lia! I’ve been trying to reach you. I thought I’d have to come to Dark Moon pack tomorrow.” Alpha Tristan’s comforting voice filled my soul, causing my emotions to spiral out of my control. Tears brimmed in my eyes as I skipped all formalities and whimpered, “Je-jessica is g-gone.” “To where? She wouldn’t leave you and I haven’t seen her here–” I cut in, clearer this time, “She’s dead, Alpha Tristan.”

“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.”

Silja, Romy, Jaul, and Irina all laughed in the distance. This is the best life ever. My son found his mate. He will soon take over as Alpha. I’m so glad I changed my ways before it was too late, all those years ago. Missing this would have been my biggest regret. I’m just glad there is no ‘what if’ in my life now.

"Kaden, you really think highly of yourself. Who told you I was here for you? I'm here to get married—just not to you." Everyone froze, then burst into mockery. "Are you dreaming?" Maya sneered. "This is the Alpha-only circle!" "Exactly. What Alpha would ever want a wolf like you?" Kaden added. "You're not pretty enough, and your personality is a nightmare." Kaden continued his taunts. "Lyra, you're really desperate for my attention, aren't you? But I'm telling you, no matter how pathetic your lies get, I'm never looking back." Just then, the moon began to rise. Silvery light spilled over the altar, and I noticed a faint, cloying sweetness beginning to radiate from Kaden. The curse was kicki

I needed to get my family back. Sean needed to forget about her. The sound of my buzzing phone dragged me out of my thoughts. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw that it was my new Beta who was calling me. It wasn’t easy to replace Ethan, but the pack needed a new Beta. “Hey,” I said as I answered the phone. “Alpha.” His deep voice came through, calm but urgent. “We’ve gotten a lead on Wendy.” My grip tightened on the phone. “I’m listening.”

“Alpha, this spells trouble. Didn’t you tell me you rejected your mate, Jessica, and that she came from there? My guess is she’s out for revenge and that her father is in danger. We must warn him somehow.” “Send a message through the usual discreet channels. Is that everything?” “I get it. You want rid of me. No problem.” “Keep me posted.” “Will do, Alpha Liam.” When she emerged, the Alpha seemed deep in thought. “Something’s off,” he said, finally. “Jack’s wrong. Yes, I have it! Jessica Haines told me she was in line to be the next Alpha there, which means her father was alive then or at least one parent.”
