Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate Novels & Stories

"Whether you like it or not, Alpha Ralph, this is happening today." His words carried a grim finality as he continued, "Remember your mother, Alpha Ralph? She trusted a human, claiming him to be her mate. But in the end, he betrayed her. That betrayal led to her death and left many of our pack members lost and fatherless. Do you want history to repeat itself?" "Don't bring my mother into this," I snapped, cutting him off. "Her situation doesn't match what you're saying about my mate. It's a different matter entirely."

"I am sorry we can't do that, as you know The Alpha is mourning the loss of his mate." I gasped inaudibly at the information. He lost his mate? How could he have lost her? Rogues? "For the past three fucking months! Goddamnit! Julianne was my best friend too! Is he gonna reject his duties because of a mate that won't come back?!. There was silence for a while after Leila's outburst, then the guards pushed the door open. "Alpha says you can come in." I guessed he had told them through a mind link.

Every part of me longed to get her to repeat what she just said and tell me everything, but I knew it wasn’t the right time. So Alpha Regan had not only lost his family but his mate as well? I heard he had been quite young at the time so how had he found his mate so early? And who was his mate? The questions burned on my tongue but never made it out. My heart suddenly broke for him. To have found his mate early just to have her taken from him suddenly. And alongside his family no less. I couldn’t possibly imagine the pain he must have gone through. And to think he would remember it all again due to the memorial.

"We're stronger together than either of us could be alone. Your leadership plus my community building. Your strength plus my empathy. Your wolf plus mine." "Partnership." "Exactly." I leaned into him. "We're going to be okay. Better than okay. We're going to be great." "There's the confidence I fell in love with." "It comes and goes. But with you beside me, it comes more often than it goes." Six days until we became Alpha and Alpha's mate. Six days until everything changed forever. We were scared. But we were ready. Together, we were ready for anything.

The jewel, a wife, a daughter and now, a mate. I fell on my knees and wept. I couldn't keep in my sadness. I had failed as an Alpha. I had let my pack down. I was weak and all for a girl who had betrayed my love for her over and over again. Was this rescue really worth the losses? My heart was heavy. I didn't want anyone to see me this way. An Alpha is never weak, but here I was, crying my heart out. After a while, my body stopped shaking with tears. I got up from the ground and headed to my chair. My eyes had been dried of the tears and a new feeling replaced my sadness–unbridled rage.

"You did not accept your mate's rejection." "No." "You understand this is without precedent." "I understand." "The rejection ritual exists to protect both parties. A mate who speaks the words has the right to be released. By refusing acceptance, you are holding Dr. Watson in a bond she has chosen to end." Sorin's hands were flat on the table. "That is not a small thing." "I know what it is." "Do you?" She leaned forward. "Because what I see is an Alpha who has already caused his mate considerable harm over the course of their bond. And now, when she exercises the one right that is entirely hers, you've refused to honor it."

We reached the top of the grand staircase. Below, the front doors stood open. Three northern alphas waited in the courtyard, silver chains glinting under the moon. Their warriors stood behind them, eyes wary. The lead alpha stepped forward. “The bond is an abomination, Milrac. Surrender the girl. We will end it cleanly before it destroys you both.” Milrac’s voice carried down the stairs, calm and lethal. “She is my mate. The bond is complete. Touch her and every alpha here dies tonight.”

“Is this how low you can stoop, just to get something you will never have? I’ve told you countless times I’m not interested in you! And what you did last night, to bring me here, Sarah could already be dead because of you! If she’s not, then she’s close!” I surged toward the door, desperate to escape, but a guard blocked my way. “Move aside,” I commanded, but he didn’t budge or say a word. Then Alpha Xavier’s voice cut through the tension, calm.but dreadful “Why are you acting like this?” he said. “I only did what I had to do. If Sarah was the obstacle keeping us apart, then I had to remove her. You simply don’t understand me, do you? When I want something, I go to extremes to get it. From t

“I’ve been waiting for you. Tell me you’ve spoken to the human.” Human? My blood ran cold. No. No way. He wasn’t— Dr. Phil turned to me and pointed. “Here she is. She’s the one. Though, she’s refusing.” A strange silence filled the room as the man turned back to me, this time his gaze sweeping over me with scrutiny, like he was assessing every inch of me. His eyes flickered to my stomach, and then suddenly, it clicked. He was the alpha. He was the man whose sperm had been mistakenly used.

She blurted out, brushing off whatever she just said like it wasn’t anything. We weren’t friends or anything but I could feel the pain in her sentence. She was older than I was but I could guess the pain was the same for everyone. I allowed her to change the topic, choosing to listen to her instead. “Okay.” I nodded, ready to know what this was all about. “A bond between two alpha mates can only truly broken up or even either accepted when the both of them are in agreement but in the case of alpha Tristan, he’s strong enough to make you his without your permission.”
