Left Broken Alpha's Regret Novels & Stories

"I've liked you since I was little, admired you. You're my Alpha, my dream. But you only ever look at her..." This was the first time I had seen Abby cry. The usually calm and confident woman appeared so fragile at that moment. It left me at a loss, and I couldn't help but soften my tone: "Abby, I’m sorry. I never intended to hurt your feelings, but some things can’t be changed by effort alone." I inched closer to her and gently patted her shoulder, trying to comfort her. "You’ll find your mate. He will love you, cherish you, and give you everything you want."

“You’re crying?” “No, I just-" I tried to speak, wiping hastily at my cheeks. For a moment I wanted to find some excuse, but then I realized this was Gabe. He never judged me and I didn't need to pretend anymore in front of him. “Of course I cried! Last year was already hard enough living out there on my own. And when I finally came back home hoping for peace, my own Alpha treats me like I’m nothing. Like I’m filth!” The dam broke, I sobbed.

“What’s the matter, Luna? Regretting your little secret trip through the woods?” Yes. Oh goddess, yes. I regretted it the second I saw his face. The second his hand connected with mine. The second I felt my child flinch inside me, responding to the violence outside. “You’re pathetic,” he hissed. “You beg for mercy for him, but what did he ever do for you? He broke into my pack. He humiliated me. He declared war.” He stood, breathing hard. His Beta stepped closer, uncertain. “She’s bleeding,” the Beta said softly. “Alpha… we shouldn’t—”

A familiar pheromone. At the very back of the crowd, a ragged figure lurked in the shadows. Alexander. His pheromones reeked of pain, regret… and despair. He was skin and bones. His once-proud Alpha aura? Gone. His eyes, empty. Numb. Clearly, Lily's threats and his family's ruin had broken him. Our eyes met in the moonlight. For a second, I saw deep regret in his. His lips formed the words: I'm sorry.

“I'm sorry my Alpha. Forgive me. I have foolishly crossed the line this time.” “Go. I'll be having company soon. We'll talk another time.” Alpha Greg dismissed him. “Once again, I ask for your forgiveness,” Carlos begged one more time before he finally left. A crook smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he walked out the door. The doubt in Alpha Greg's face already suggested the seed he'd sewn into him was soon to start yielding fruits. He hoped he would dump his pride that has done nothing spectacular for him all his life and follow the new path he'd sowed into him.

"Yes… yes I haven't been feeling good after you left me, Alpha. I'm always down and heartbroken. I felt mad at myself for doing what I did to you," "Please don't leave me again. I won't be able to take the heartbreak. I regretted everything that I did to you. You've been there for me. I don't want to let you go again. Please don't go,"I mutter with my throat burning and aching badly, but I didn't pay heed to it. I just have to make it known to the Alpha that I want him back— that I still need and want him in my life.

My pulse was too loud, my thoughts too messy. Regret clawed at my chest. I shouldn’t have let that happen. He was my boss. This was a mistake. A terrible, unforgivable mistake. But beneath the regret, another feeling stirred. One I hated. I had broken a promise to myself. I had sworn never to be with an alpha again. The last time I had given my heart to an alpha, it had ended in betrayal. His name had been Lucas. I had loved him. Completely. We had spent two years together. Two years of laughter, of whispered words in the dark, of believing he was different.

I could feel the intent to kill, it was warning me to stay back. I knew it was an elder trying to make me sacred, it wasn't working on me but I didn't need to look back to know that it was working on the other two. Osric was still relatively fine but Ignace was trembling and he had stopped running. I stopped and I looked back at Ignace. This guy was really a coward but I had to work with him. These people weren't alphas, there were betas from legacy packs. They had no hope of ever becoming alpha and they will forever remain mediocre but I could change that and the only way to do that was here. If everything goes right, then I might have myself a new pack,

He didn't speak or move. My legs suddenly refused to hold me. For years I had stood before this pack as their Alpha, now I sank to the floor like a broken man. I didn't care that an Alpha wasn't supposed to fall apart. I buried my face in my hands. "I failed her...I failed Ruby." Inside my head, my wolf stirred with grief. A deep, aching grief that mirrored my own. “We failed her.” His voice sounded hoarse. “She was our mate.” I squeezed my eyes shut. "I know."

I said and turned to leave the room when I heard his cold tone which sent me aback. “You will do no such thing! Are you trying to get on my nerves or what? She’s not here because she doesn’t have a place here anymore. She’s not your mom that you think she is and she’s nothing but a witch, a very selfish and self-centered being! You don’t need to bother about her because it’s just going to weigh you down. If you go in search of her you are going to be struck by the moon goddess with bad luck and that’ll Ruin your chances of being an Alpha.”
