Remorse Family Novels & Stories

“I'd already decided to step down as the Alpha of this pack after Kira's burial” The elders looked at each other shockingly. Looking at Dad, he wasn't just a repentant man. This was a father who realized his mistakes and wished he could turn back the hands of time. Mum came in slowly, bowed to the pack elders and painfully confessed what I wasn't here to say. “I had a child with the Alpha of Clawshade pack before marriage and thought I could hide it forever. I apologize for being the cause of the pack's feud, I hope you all can join us to give our daughter a dignified end”

For the first time, he seemed like a complete stranger to me, and my heart turned cold. I hadn't imagined that he'd bought my family's share to get revenge for Carrie. Harvey was fully aware that selling them would be a devastating blow to my father's company. Tears burned my eyes as I screamed, "How dare you threaten me!" He avoided my gaze and stated, "As long as you apologize, I won't sell the shares. I'll even give them back to you as a wedding gift." Upon hearing his words, a bitter sneer escaped my lips, followed by loud, hollow laughter.

“Eva… she’s dead.” The whole family rushed anxiously to the police station, praying that it was all a mistake. Beneath the white cloth, a lock of my blonde hair peeked out. David’s hands trembled as he pulled the sheet back from my body. My decayed corpse made their hearts sink. “Eva, don’t scare me. It’s all Mom’s fault. Please wake up…” In the freezing morgue, my parents clung to each other, sobbing in agony.

"You’re projecting your own darkness onto them, Remo. Just because you were capable of breaking Silvio down to nothing doesn't mean my family is as twisted as yours. You’re looking for a reason to be the victim." Remo stared at me, a bitter, hollow laugh escaping his throat. It was the sound of someone who had already seen the end of the world. "Of course," he muttered, turning his head back to the window. "The Alessia Capone. Your family can do no wrong. They’re just misunderstood boys, right?" He looked back at me, his eyes dead and cold. And my vision blurred with tears.

“While you brought me into this world, you and I aren’t related by blood. I hope you won’t stand in the way of my real family reuniting.” With that, Simon slapped a bond severance application onto my chest. “Since the whole pack is watching, let’s settle this here. Leave my dad alone. Considering you once raised me and put in effort to groom me, I don’t mind giving you $200 a month as an allowance. Don’t expect anything more from me.” The pack erupted in fury against the trio. “These three really show how shameless and ungrateful someone can be.” “Poor Leia, wasting her money and efforts raising someone else’s pup, only to be betrayed like this, stripped of everything.”

The silver moon hung high in the sky, its cold light spreading across the cemetery like frost. Lena’s tombstone stood in the deepest part, a small stone slab engraved with the words: Lena Green – Brave Little Warrior. Carlson, Rachel, and Aileen knelt at the cemetery entrance. A long path of cobblestones stretched from the gate to Lena’s tombstone. They began to crawl forward on their knees. One step, one bow—all just to stop me from selling the house.

Uncle Jamie and Aunt Daisy's car accident had been caused by a tiny dose of sleeping pills she slipped into their drinks, just so she could be taken in by the wealthy Samson family. It was only then that my family understood the cost of letting such danger into their home, but by that time, it was already too late. Dad perished in the fire, Ronald was badly burned, and Mom would carry the effects of smoke inhalation for the rest of her life. Only when they felt even a fraction of that suffering did they begin to grasp what I had gone through. Even later, Ronald and Mom made attempts to reach me, even showing up at Harrison's home in hopes of reconciliation.

Emma and Mitchell nodded in agreement, their faces reflecting genuine remorse. Mr. Robert watched them for a moment before sighing, his expression softening. "I appreciate your apologies and your acknowledgment of your mistakes. Remember, we are a family here even if not by blood, I've always assured you of that, and families make mistakes, but it's how we learn and grow from them that matters."

"Elena survived? So the curse didn't work? Then how did Emma—" He scratched the back of his neck, like he was trying to work out an equation that wouldn't balance. "I mean, the whole family spent years on this, and then the one who was supposed to go didn't, and the one who wasn't supposed to..." Mom's fingernails dug into the crack between the floor tiles. "Get out." She didn't look up. The words came through her teeth. "Look, I'm only asking because I care—" "I said get out!"

"Who on earth did you offend? The Alphas of the Violetmoon pack, the Brightdawn pack, the Starfang pack, and many other packs had just called me to call off our business collaborations. "Even Elder Faelan had just sent someone to reprimand me for not disciplining my daughter, and that you'd offended the successor to the Kingdom's throne. Our pack is falling into ruins, and it's all because of you! "Apologize immediately to the successor and beg her for forgiveness. If you fail to resolve this crisis, I'll cut ties with you!" Irina stared at me in disbelief. She was trembling all over out of fear. With a half smile, I taunted, "So? Who are you calling over to teach me a lesson?"
