Le Regret De L'alpha: Trop Tard Pour M'aimer

J'étais autrefois la princesse chérie de la Meute de la Lune d'Argent, adorée de tous. À l'époque, je suis tombée amoureuse de Karl, l'un des sauvages de la meute. Mais lorsque je me suis ennuyée de notre petite histoire, je l'ai écarté sans hésiter. Des années plus tard, ma meute a été détruite et mes parents ont été tués. Karl, cependant, était devenu l'Alpha d'une nouvelle meute puissante. Il m'a revendiquée, me forçant à devenir sa Luna. Tout le monde disait que j'avais de la chance, mais ils ne connaissaient pas la vérité. Ils ne savaient pas qu'il ramenait chaque nuit différentes louves sur notre territoire. Et à cause de notre lien de compagnon, chaque moment d'intimité entre eux me brûlait l'âme comme un feu ardent. Je n'ai jamais pleuré, je n'ai jamais protesté, j'ai simplement tout enduré en silence. Mais mon silence ne faisait que rendre Karl plus instable. Cette fois-ci, il est allé encore plus loin. Il a mis sa Bêta, Cholé, enceinte. Mais je restais calme. Furieux, Karl m'a projetée contre un mur de pierre rugueux. « Estelle, tu m'aimes ou pas ? » Je pensais que ses accès de colère étaient une manifestation tordue de son amour, qu'il attendait que je craque. Mais ensuite, Cholé et moi commencions à accoucher en même temps. Je l'ai supplié de m'emmener d'abord à l'hôpital de la meute, et je voulais lui dire que je n'avais pas eu le choix lorsque je l'avais rejeté à l'époque. Il m'a serrée dans ses bras, pour me repousser quelques instants plus tard. « Tu vois ? Je savais que tu craquerais. » « Arrête de faire semblant. Tu te prends vraiment pour une princesse hautaine et puissante ? » Il a ignoré mes supplications, ignoré la vie de son propre petit en moi. Il a pris Cholé dans ses bras et est parti sans se retourner. Sa voix froide a résonné dans notre lien mental. « Ne t'inquiète pas, je ne t'abandonne pas. » « Tu mérites de ressentir une fraction de la douleur que j'ai ressentie quand tu m'as rejeté. Savoure-la. »

When the flood hit, my husband, Patrick Holmes, who was part of the rescue team, stood between me and his first love, Victoria Clarke, torn with hesitation written all over his face. Without thinking twice, I shoved the only lifebuoy into Victoria's arms. In my previous life, Patrick had handed the lifebuoy to me instead and stayed behind with Victoria, choosing to die alongside her. Just before they both drowned, rescuers arrived in the nick of time and pulled him out, but Victoria didn't make it—she drowned that day. After that, he devoted himself completely to me, taking care of me in every moment of our daily lives. I had thought that the disaster made him cherish me more, but I was wrong—so terribly wrong. While I was hospitalized, Patrick unplugged my oxygen tank himself. He hissed, "If you hadn't insisted on going home to rest that day, I wouldn't have been torn on who to save, and she wouldn't have died. Now, you'll atone to her in the afterlife." I struggled helplessly as my vision blurred and death crept in. Then, everything went dark. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day the flood began.

Mates were supposed to protect each other, but why do mine keep shredding my soul. ********* As Alpha Ronald's mate, I thought I'd hit the jackpot, but time proved that that was the worst thing to ever happen to me. Now I was left wondering if the goddess herself had forsaken me. Just when I had given up on everything, something I thought impossible happened to an Omega like me. I found another mate, another Alpha. Will he be my salvation or my downfall? Would this one treat me right or would he be just like my other mate? With my heart still fragile from all the abuse I'd endured, I was not certain I could afford to trust again. Yet, something about this stranger seemed to draw me in, making me wonder if I will finally get the love I deserve, or he is just a bigger monster in a suit.

Amber pensait que tout irait bien après qu'Aiden l'ait reconnue comme sa compagne. Mais trois ans ont passé et il ne l'a jamais acceptée ni rejetée. Il la paye après chaque moment d'intimité, et juste au moment où elle s'apprêtait à s'enfuir : « Tu es enceinte.» Amber fixa le médecin d'un regard vide. « M'accepterait-il maintenant ? »

Depuis cinq ans, mon compagnon destiné, l'Alpha Killian, a utilisé mon corps pour survivre à ses ruts. Il ne m'a jamais marquée. Depuis cinq ans, j'ai avalé des inhibiteurs pour dissimuler notre lien au monde entier. Jusqu'à ce soir. Ce soir, lorsqu'il a fini, il m'a dit d'être présente à la cérémonie de la pleine lune. J'ai cru qu'il était enfin prêt à me revendiquer. À faire de moi sa Luna. Mais il s'est contenté de sourire avec arrogance et de m'annoncer qu'il allait s'accoupler avec Vivian. La fille d'un Alpha. Une louve au sang véritable. Et moi ? Je n'étais rien de plus que son sale petit secret. Le remède à son rut. Il est parti sans un regard en arrière. J'ai essuyé mes larmes, je suis rentrée dans mon appartement et j'ai jeté tous mes inhibiteurs à la poubelle. Ma meilleure amie a cru que j'avais perdu la raison. Elle m'a demandé si je déclarais la guerre à l'Alpha. J'ai secoué la tête. Non. Je l'efface. Puis j'ai accepté l'invitation de l'Alpha Adrian. Un rival venu d'Europe. Dans sept jours, je partirais pour toujours.

Scarlett Taylor looked at the test report saying she had a last-stage cancer, and the news of her husband, Everett Robinson, and his ex-girlfriend Amelia Martin getting married soon, and her world crumbled. At that moment, she realized that her three years of marriage and love for Everett were nothing more than a joke. Clenching the test reports in her hand, Scarlett decided to give up on this loveless marriage and live the remaining days of her life for herself. At the gate of the divorce office, Everett sneered, "Scarlett Taylor, I am waiting for the day when you regret this!" Scarlett looked at him and smiled mockingly, "The only thing I will regret is marrying you!" and left. Two months later when Scarlett came back, Everett kneel in front of him, begging, "Scarlett, I regret it, Please forgive me and let's get back together." Scarlett looked at him and sneered, "Get lost! I don't know you!"

　　I pushed open the door to the Alpha Villa. Just back from the werewolf hospital; back from the miscarriage. 　　Then I heard it—a woman's moans, slicing through the silence of the bedroom. 　　Peering through the door crack, I saw our Omega maid, Irina, having sex with my husband. 　　Lucien gripped her waist and warned her, "We must keep this a secret. I don't want her to cause a scene, and I've never intended to replace my Luna." 　　Irina moaned in agreement, "Don't worry, Luc. I'm willing to be your secret lover forever." 　　Then, with low growls, they climaxed together. 　　What they didn't know was that I had discovered their affair early this morning—I had seen the flirtatious messages Irina sent to Lucien, which ultimately led to my miscarriage. 　　But I had no intention of confronting him. 　　Instead, I had already submitted a forced mate dissolution request to the Werewolf Alliance Council and sent a message to the ancient Grand Sorceress in the Blood Moon Forest, who had long wanted to take me as her apprentice. 　　In three days, the request would take effect, and the Grand Sorceress would come for me with a potion to alter my werewolf scent. 　　I would enter the Blood Moon Forest as nothing but a new identity and a sorceress’s heir. 　　I will erase myself from Lucien's world forever.

Owen Gray and I get into an accident. I'm seven months pregnant, but I save him anyway. I end up in a coma. I wake up after three years. Owen has amnesia, and he's now my sister's husband. My child also calls her his mother. I try everything, but Owen doesn't remember me. Instead, his love for my sister grows deeper. Even our son blames me for waking him and ruining their happy lives. When I finally decide to let go, I overhear a conversation between Owen and someone else. "Shannon was willing to give up her life for you, Owen. If she finds out your amnesia is an act…" "There's only a week to go before my three-year agreement with her sister is over. I'll give Vivian the wedding she wants. Then, I'll act like I've recovered from my amnesia. Luca and I will return to Shannon's side." I'm stunned. I never would've expected Owen to be pretending to be an amnesiac. I look at the diagnosis report in my hands. It's too bad I can't even wait for a week.

I dropped off lunch for my husband at the Conglomerate HQ, only to bump into my ex from two years ago. The man who'd ditched me at our marking ceremony to go "take care of his sister." I'd changed my hair, my makeup, everything. But he spotted me in the crowd as if it were nothing. "Elena, I'm back to finish what we started. Happy now?" I felt that familiar knot of doubt in my gut. "Sorry, who are you again...?" He let out a shaky laugh. "Babe, come on. Don't be mad. I didn't mean to leave you hanging. The ceremony back then? Ivy's wolf spirit was too weak. I had to find the Wolf God ruins to pray for her. She's my only sister; I couldn't just watch her fade." "Yeah, the healing took a while. So, I got myself an assignment overseas." "Anyway, I just got her wolf spirit stabilized, and I rushed back to bring you home to the packhouse!" That's when it hit me. This scruffy guy, with the stubble and all… this was my ex-fiancé. No. Did nobody tell him? The night he walked out on me? I married his uncle. Alpha Damian. The Wolf King.

The new intern, Cynthia Joller, had posted about me online, claiming the company had made them use their leave for team building. No one wanted to fly all the way to an island to spend time with colleagues. However, what the internet did not know was that our company's team-building tradition involved booking a top-notch five-star resort every year: all-inclusive, family-friendly, with an extra three days of paid leave, and a $30,000 budget per person. The whole internet dubbed me a cold-blooded capitalist, so I decided to give in to their demands and issued a notice. [In response to employee feedback and to honor personal time, this year's team-building retreat has been canceled. Instead, a $500 allowance for personal travel will be provided.] The notice stirred up a commotion in the company. Long-time employees gathered at my office door, pleading for the return of the sunny Madiles retreat.
