The Beta’s Regret Novels & Stories

I was the fated mate of Ashton, Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. He marked me in front of the entire pack, and everyone honored me as his Luna. For five years of marriage, he treated me like a treasure. Every night, he held me as I fell asleep and told me I was the one he would protect with his life. He was so good to me, giving me endless respect and protection, that even when my stepsister Serena mocked me in private for being a wolfless nobody who couldn't shift, I never cared. That illusion lasted until the night before the rogues launched their massive attack, when I overheard him say, "If I hadn't marked Lena, how could I have planted the blood sacrifice curse on her? And how else would t

I didn’t want to make Daniel seem less. “Turns out I don’t need to be asleep to kick you out of the window.” Daniel threatened. “You don’t want to do that.” Cayden said calmly. “Oh, yeah? And why is that? You scared?” Daniel retorted, shifting closer. “No… Beta.” Cayden replied with a smirk, ridiculing Daniel with one word, ‘Beta’. With that word, he reminded Daniel that he was an Alpha while Daniel was a Beta— his Beta. I was literally fighting to stop myself from laughing now. Them arguing was the comic relief I never knew I needed.

> “Alpha was always too human. Pain. Empathy. Weakness. But Beta? She doesn’t feel love. Or remorse. She only knows loyalty. And she will come for Alpha’s place, her face, her body, her role. Because this isn’t about control. It’s about replacement.” The recording ended. Ember touched the screen. “He never wanted me. Just the idea of me.” Lucien turned to her. “Then we kill the idea.” Cut to: Rafael’s facility. Beta stood in the center of a white room, shirtless, scarred, breathing slow and steady. She watched the fire footage of Ember burning the house down. A doctor approached. “You’re being deployed.” Beta nodded.

If I want to save myself, I need to lie and deny it. “It's fine. we can do this. Just keep an eye on him. If he looks like he's having a negative reaction at any time, let us know. The last thing we need to do is hurt the Beta on packlands.” I nod and watch my sisters try to undo what I did all those years ago. My mind wanders to that time. *Flashback*

“What?” “Yes, you heard right. She had a miscarriage, and everyone thinks the assistant Beta might know about it because he had taken her out to eat, and when she returned, her belly started acting out.” I cut her an angry glare. “can you not say disappointing things, please? It's bad enough that you, my friend, would say something like that about my man. Luscious has nothing to gain from hurting her; he would never develop such a cold mind. I'm sure if you had heard your rumor right, you would know he had nothing to do with it.” I kept mute for a second. “How about the Beta?”

"I know what happened was unforgivable. But you have to understand, Ethan almost tore his own pack apart trying to find you. He threatened the council, he emptied his own personal fortune to protect you, he ran across the entire city perimeter on foot just following your scent—" "Shut up, Marcus," I cut him off, my glare snapping to him like a whip. "You're his Beta. You're paid to clean up his blood and tell him he's a hero. But your loyalty doesn't buy my forgiveness, and his pathetic regrets don't give him any right to this child." Before Marcus could get another word out, the narrow alleyway exploded with blinding blue and white flashes.

And through our bond I felt the tension like ice crawling across the room. As they all noticed his experience; Conversations died immediately. Breaths held. And the temperature seemed to drop several degrees. “What did you just say?” Darrell asked in that low, controlled voice that made people's insides tremble — even mine. “ I dare you to repeat that again.” “I…I…” the supreme alpha stammered, eyes flicking to other supreme Alphas as if searching for rescue. His smile wilted. His hand began to shake. And regret painted his face; regret that he should not have said that.

“You killed my family. You wiped out my friends. You might not remember me, but I remember you. I was there when you and your pack tore through our home and left nothing alive.” Tears filled his eyes, spilling over. They were meant to slow me. Meant to make me hesitate. They failed. There was no memory waiting for me. No image. No sound. Just emptiness where regret should have been. He searched my face anyway, like he expected something to surface. It never did. Life under my rule should have taught him that. Regret does not live in me. Guilt never learned my name. “I hope when he finally finds you,” the beta said, voice shaking now, “he tears you apart piece by piece. I hope you beg before

Alpha Tristan's Beta explained, as he tried to keep his voice steady "Is that all you found out?" Alpha Tristan asked. "Yes Alpha Tristan, we are still working in trying to get more information" the Beta said "You're disappointing me, I gave you enough time to look for her but now you're giving me this, what do you expect me to do with that information?" Alpha Tristan said "I apologize Alpha, I will do better" The Beta said as he avoided Alpha Tristan's disappointed gaze Alpha Tristan's stern gaze lingered on his Beta for a moment before he sighed, a mixture of frustration and anger evident in his expression.

"It seems that I don't have a say on this matter. But expect that from now on, I will no longer obey you. You can find your Beta as soon as possible because I'm leaving." Then tears started streaming down his face, grief overtaking any other emotion on display right then. Regret coupled with guilt ran through both of us until neither one of us spoke anymore. “Go on. Leave. Surely you don’t want to be by the side of a dead alpha. Yes, that’s how I see myself—dead because my mate is already dead.”
