last update Last Updated: 2025-04-02 07:50:38

Liz’s POV

We followed in silence as Lumian led us toward his office.

My steps felt light, too light. Like I wasn’t even walking. Maybe I wasn’t. I wasn’t sure anymore.

My thoughts swirled with the weight of what he’d just said.

A letter.

He said he found a letter.

Written in my handwriting.

Claiming I left willingly.

Saying I’d only return if Judy was gone.

I had never written a letter, or had I? I couldn't remember everything from the day that I was murdered, so maybe this was another thing that I had simply just forgotten.

Lumina was my mate. He should know what my handwriting looked like.

The ache in my chest was unbearable.

Arthur didn’t say anything as we walked. But I felt him tense beside me, his energy sharp and boiling beneath the surface.

The doors to Lumian’s office opened with a creak, and the familiar room came into view. So many hours I had spent here doing reports, sitting beside him, trying to be enough. Now, it felt foreign. Like I’d never truly belonged in it at all

    Robert’s POVThe hallway stretched ahead, silent except for the echo of our footsteps. Carlos walked beside me, hands in his pockets, jaw tight with that familiar stiffness that always meant he was stewing in something. Pride. Denial. Maybe guilt. Maybe not enough of it.We were heading to see Judy, my sister.And yet, somehow, it felt like I was walking beside a stranger.“She’s probably already in surgery,” Carlos said, voice light, too casual. As none of this weighed on him, it was just another day.I didn’t respond.I couldn’t.There was too much boiling in my chest to answer that with anything but silence.“You’re really going to be with her right now?” I finally asked. My tone wasn’t gentle. “With Judy?”Carlos frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”“It means Liz is still missing,” I said flatly. “And you’re acting like it’s nothing.”He rolled his eyes. “There are no signs of rogues or a struggle. And Lumian found that letter, didn’t he?”I stopped in my tracks, turning to f

    Arthur’s POVWalking down the halls of the pack house, I heard voices. They sounded as though they were in a heated conversation, and I followed them, listening. It didn’t take long to recognise them, Carlos and Robert.I was going to stay out of sight and just listen, hoping that something anything would slip. A clue. A confession. But then I heard what Carlos said about Liz. She was meant to be his sister. He was supposed to care for her, but here he was when she needed him most. Speaking poorly of her, I couldn't control the rage burning inside of me. I stormed down the hallway, fury in every step.“What the fuck did you just say?”Carlos barely had time to turn before I grabbed him by the collar and punched him. My fist connected with his jaw, and the sickening sound of bone meeting bone echoed through the corridor.He hit the floor with a grunt, hand clutching the side of his face as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.I stood over Carlos, my chest heaving, fists sti

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 30

    Liz's POVI didn't feel anything anymore.Not the sting of Carlos's words or the ache of being forgotten.It should've hurt. Maybe it still did somewhere deep inside. But right now, all I felt was numbness.Carlos's voice still echoed in my mind. He had given me hope only yesterday, making me believe that he was going to try and find me. How quickly that hope had been lost."Ask Robert to take you to the place where they found my blood," I asked. The need of wanting to find the truth burning stronger than ever inside me.Arthur didn't hesitate. He just turned to Robert and said it as if it were his own idea."Take me to the place where you found her blood. Now."Robert stiffened slightly but nodded.I walked along next to Arthur. After a while, Robert came to a stop."This is where the scent ended," he said. "Where we found the blood."Arthur's eyes narrowed as he scanned the area. He didn't wait. He moved past Robert and began searching on his own, brushing past low-hanging branches

    Liz’s POVThe world seemed to narrow as I stared at the shape hidden in the overgrowth.It was a car.Old. Faded paint. Covered in vines, someone had tried to hide it in a hurry. Arthur moved forward first, pushing aside branches, his posture rigid. Alert. I followed closely, every nerve in my ghostly body taut with something between fear and hope.Please let this be it.Please let this give us something.The closer we got, the more the dread clawed at my chest.This was it.This was the car.My wolf stirred again, sharp and anxious. I had been in this car, and my fear-filled scent still lingered.Arthur stopped at the driver’s side door. His hand hovered above the handle, and for a second, he just stood there as if preparing himself for what he might find inside.I stood behind him, holding my breath.What if my body was in there?What if this was the end of the search? Part of me wanted it. Not because I wanted to be dead but because I needed the truth. I needed to know where I h

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 32

    Arthur’s POVI closed my hand softly around hers.Her fingers were cold but solid, no longer smoke, no longer a fading flicker I couldn't touch. I held her hand like it was the most fragile thing in the world like letting go might undo whatever miracle had just happened.I looked up, studying her beautiful face. Her eyes were wide, locked on our joined hands, her lips parted in quiet disbelief. I didn’t speak. I didn’t breathe.I couldn’t.My blood had done this. Somehow, it had bridged the space between us somehow.It made no sense in my mind, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was that I could touch her.She looked up at me, her eyes shining with tears, one slipping from her eyes without thinking. I reached out, whipping it from her cheek. And then, like the dam inside her finally burst, she crumbled.She stepped into me, her body folding against mine, and I caught her without hesitation. My arms wrapped tightly around her, holding her like she was the most precious thing in

    Liz’s POVEvery bump in the road jolted my bruised body as the van barreled forward through winding backroads. My cheek was pressed against the cold metal floor, and all I could hear was the pounding of my heartbeat in my ears and the muffled growl of the engine.My lungs burned with every breath. Panic clawed at my throat, threatening to choke me. I had no idea where he was taking me, just that I had to get out. I had to survive."Please save me, Lumian," I begged through the bond, my mental voice shaking with fear. My mate, my Alpha. He would come. He had to. I closed my eyes, clinging to the connection, hoping, praying he could feel my fear.The bond flared to life, but instead of the warmth and concern I’d hoped for, a wave of cold irritation flooded back.“Liz, stop acting up. I’ll be home tonight.”My heart dropped. Acting up? I was in a stranger’s van, bleeding and terrified. Why did my mate think I would lie about something like this?My body ached. Every bruise screamed as the

    “Liz, I’m home,” Lumian’s voice echoed through the empty house. I followed him inside, drifting like a ghost because that’s what I was. Everything was exactly as I had left it this morning, and still, he looked annoyed."Liz?" he called again, impatience curling around his tone like smoke.The silence that followed was suffocating. He stood there for a moment, looking around the room, then scowled.“Chucking another one of her stupid tantrums,” he muttered with a shake of his head.My chest twisted. Anger surged in my veins, mixing with despair. A tantrum? Was that really what he thought of me? After everything I had done, everything I had become to be the Luna he needed?For three years, I had done everything for him. I cooked, cleaned, stood by his side during every pack gathering, fought his battles when others doubted us and carried his burdens without ever asking for anything in return. I tried to be the best mate I could possibly be.Everything he needed, I gave. Everything he as

    Lumian closed the door with a sigh, muttering a quiet goodbye to Robert before turning back into the house. I followed him, still calling out, still begging him to listen.“Please, Lumian,” I said, though I knew he couldn’t hear me. “He’s lying. Why can’t you see it?”He walked slowly back into the kitchen, running his hands through his hair again before sinking down into a chair. I hovered nearby, watching him, a storm of emotion raging inside me.Why would Robert lie?Why would he pretend he hadn’t seen me yesterday after what he said? The memory rushed back in full force.I had been running around the packhouse all morning, double-checking everything for Lumian’s birthday. I wanted it to be perfect even though he barely noticed me anymore, even though he hadn’t smiled at me in weeks. I still wanted to show him I cared about him.I had just stepped outside to head into town when I saw Robert walking down the path alone. I hesitated. Something about the way he looked at me felt off co

    Arthur’s POV“Answer me.”The words cracked through the air like a whip, echoing off the walls with force that could’ve broken stone.I stood there, eyes locked on Lumian, every nerve in my body tight, my wolf clawing inside of me. I could feel Liz just behind me—her pain was a silent pressure in the air. Her hope was thinner now, fragile, trembling like a flame on the edge of being snuffed out. It was cruel to watch, and every part of me wished I could shield her from this pain.And still, she waited for a man that didn't care for her.So did I.Lumian’s mouth opened. Then closed. His eyes darted away—toward the floor, the walls, anywhere but at me. He was a Coward.“I—” he finally stammered, his voice weak. “It’s not like that.”“Then tell me,” I snapped, struggling to hold back my wolf that wanted to come out and make him pay for the pain that he was coursing her. “Because from where I’m standing, it looks exactly like that.”“I never said I wanted a divorce,” he muttered, almost

    Liz’s POVI stood there, still as stone, watching Lumian walk away.He didn’t even flinch. Not a pause. Not a glance over his shoulder.He just left.Like I meant nothing to him.My chest tightened, a quiet ache blooming behind inside me, spreading slowly and sharply, threatening to cripple me. It wasn’t like I expected anything from him anymore—not after everything, not after I had rejected him as my mate—but seeing it so plainly, seeing how easy it was for him to choose her again…It hurt. More than I wanted to admit.“Lumian.” Arthur’s voice cut through the hallway like a blade—rough, low, and unmistakably commanding.Lumian stopped mid-step, his back going rigid. I turned toward Arthur, startled by the edge in his tone. He was glaring at Lumian, his jaw tight, his fists clenched at his sides. There was no trace of the gentleman that I knew. This was someone else entirely.Someone dangerous.Someone protective.Arthur took a step forward, his voice dropping lower. “Do you not

    Arthur’s POVI woke with a jolt, breath catching in my throat.Panic clawed at me before I even registered why—until my eyes snapped to the bed.Liz.She was still there.She was lying on her side, facing the window, the faintest glow from the early morning light kissing her beautiful features. She looked peaceful, like an angel, almost like she was just sleeping, like she wasn't a ghost.Relief hit me hard, and I let out a shaky breath, dragging a hand over my tired face.I hadn’t meant to fall asleep. I didn't want to take my eyes off her. Something inside of me had feared that if I did, she might disappear again—flicker out like the ghost she was.But she hadn’t.She was still here.And moon goddess, she was beautiful.I sat there quietly, watching her—taking her in, just for a moment. Just to look at her and imagine she wasn’t stuck between worlds and she was still the living, breathing, beautiful woman that had stolen my heart. I should’ve told her how I felt.Last night, when
