The Alpha President's Regret Novels & Stories

I said, almost forcefully as my heart rate started to increase slowly, and then a rather lean looking woman scratched her neck and looked at me guiltily. “The Alpha was taken back very late last night. He wasn’t moving, and the Beta was crying as he rode his horse as fast as he could. There are rumors that he’s not going to make it.” She said in a little voice as if they all had had a hand in it. I… at that moment didn’t know what to make of it. He’s not… what?

“So you’re not going to ask for it?” I faked a surprised look. “And give all this up?!” I folded my arms and shook my head sternly. “No, no, no…we need to eat our greens, pop.” And I laughed to end the joke. But the Alpha wasn’t laughing. “Alpha Ed?” I wiped the corners of my eyes. “Are you alright?” He turned his cheek and stared into the distance for a long while. Regret filled the air between us until the discomfort I felt earlier swarmed back like a flood of red alert flashlights—.

He took my hand, and the room seemed to brighten. "I know the question on everyone’s mind," I said, my voice softening but remaining clear. "What happens to the President’s seat? Astria is a land of worthy, brilliant people capable of running it. My tenure has been one of war and transition. But as an Alpha, my first obligation is to my family—to my pack. My time as your President concludes tonight. I am officially resigning." A disapproving, shocked groan erupted from the crowd, but I silenced it with a sharp look.

“They all disappeared without a trace from across almost every pack here and—” “Who cares about a bunch of sluts going missing?” Somebody’s voice cut off the words of the president after. The Alpha whom the voice belonged to stood and a few around him nodded their head in agreement to his words. “I agree with Alpha Zachary on this one. Don’t you think we have a bigger problem on our hands than some runts going missing? Two Alphas have been killed brutally and we don’t know who is next.” Another round of murmured agreement filled the room and I rolled my eyes.

And the realization cut deeper than any wound he had ever suffered. Alan's wolf growled low beneath his skin, a shadow of the rage and obsession that had once defined him. But there was no fire left to fuel it—only hollow regret and the bitter taste of failure. He sank to one knee, hands clenched, his voice trembling. "I… I resign," he whispered to the wind, to the trees, to the memories of what could have been. "I am no longer Alpha. I cannot lead… not like this… not without her."

The only thing she can do is to get better for Kayla, for her son, for herself, and for whatever lay ahead. The ride back to his pack was heavy with silence. Alpha Damien stared out the window, lost in thought. The image of Stephanie lying on the hospital bed replayed in his mind, bringing with it a flood of memories and regrets. He couldn't shake the guilt gnawing at him. His past actions had hurt her deeply, and seeing her in such a vulnerable state had forced him to confront the reality of his behavior.

I no longer worry that he won’t accept my rejection. I will make him. “I reject you, Aaron.” Angry tears roll down my cheeks, my blood boiling underneath my skin. The hope in his eyes is quickly replaced by confusion, disappointment, and determination. “I do not accept your rejection,” he declares. “I am the Alpha; I have the final say.” His eyes soften as he rushes to my side, his gaze searching my body, tearing apart at the obvious injuries. As if he cares that I’m hurt. It doesn’t matter whether or not he really does. It’s too little too late. Besides, it’s the injuries he can’t see that will be my undoing.

“Congratulations to you both.” “Good.” The Alpha nodded. “Now off you go.” He really didn't see me as anything. The thought made me mourn for myself and my unborn baby. At that moment, his Beta strode into the room. His expression was grave and when our eyes met, he gave me a look filled with great mistrust. I found this difficult to understand. His usual way was ignoring my existence, what could I have done to him? The sorrow I felt was so overwhelming that I couldn't bring myself to figure out what was up with him. I hurried out of their sights as Alpha Damian began questioning Beta Karl, carrying my broken heart with me.

"Are you happy now, Timor? You pushed our pack to its downfall." "I did the right thing and I regret nothing. My Alpha is way better than who you believe your Alpha. I can not let a spoiled brat rule the pack, even before when his father was the Alpha, I never like how they manipulate us. My Alpha is way better, leave now and regret later." 'Let them, Timor. Remind them to return anytime when they already regret leaving.' "My Alpha wishes to relay a message, you may go but be reminded that you are always welcome to return if you ever regret your decision." He would be a great messenger, I think."

The councilman adds and the big crowd surprisingly boos out loud. I had thought that they were in support of their former alpha. They are apparently not that foolish. "I no longer take orders from my father," Miles states in a voice full of resolve. "I am the Alpha of this pack now and you have been conspiring with my mad father behind my back! That is an act of treason!" Miles snaps and the councilman visibly trembles in fear. Everyone is dead silent as if anticipating something phenomenal. But I notice some looking quite apprehensive. There is no hint of mercy on the Alpha's face. I cannot predict what he will do with the man, it's just obvious it's going to be brutal.
