“What?” I ask when I notice Ryan staring at me.

“Nothing, just wondering if Bella knows daddy was putting in the hard work it takes to make a baby with-”

“I swear to God, if you say her name..” I trail off on a warning.

He feigns a gasp. “I thought we were allowed to say her name now.”

“I see you ran into Nova.”

“Yes, but do enlighten me.”

“She walked in when Mariella was confronting me for fucking Thalia, something I don't even remember doing, mostly.”

“And do you want to remember?” he studies me, “I can help you. The owner of the house we lived in has surveillance cameras around the house for security purposes when it's empty and you accidentally activated one.”

“What?”

Ryan nods, “Yeah. You and Thalia featured in what Cassidy and Sarang called Pornhubs finest material.”

“You're shitting me.” My eyebrow lifts, but there's not a single hint of humor on his face. He grabs his phone and turns it towards me, on it an image of Thalia appears. She's laying down with me between her legs, m

  • Alpha's Regret: His Betrayed Luna   Chapter 14: Wanna be Luna

    MARIELLA I stare at the women organizing pack house groceries, and I can't help but smile at the sight. They'll do anything I ask, that too to my liking because it's easier to please me than get on my bad side. That too, a side I don't have, I'm an exemplary mate and woman, as well as a mother in the eyes of all these women. Ever since Knox put the huge diamond on my hand, they've been extra nice to me but I choose to be unbiased unless otherwise. My two friends, loyal as a dog sit with me. We've been friends since Thalia left the pack grounds, it was hard to connect with someone else because I dedicated my whole life to Thalia, but thankfully that's no longer the case. I've not heard or dealt with her for four years, and I refuse to do it now. “Do you think you can change the criteria for qualifications?” Kennedy asks me, a topic we've tackled more than once but this time I'm more confident in my ability to make things happen to my liking around her

    “Mommy made Auntie Mariella cry.” Katie points to me “Nova, apologize.” Knox orders, his tone calm, too relaxed. Nova crosses her arms over her chest. “Excuse me? I will do no such thing.” “It's fine, I don't need her apology.” I wipe my tears, watching Knox. “She will apologize.” Nova rolls her eyes, “I'm sorry, Mariella.” “Mommy, ”Bella tugs at my dress. “So now you forgive her.” Just as I'm starting to enjoy how stupid Nova looks, she speaks again. “I'm sorry I called you out for being the shitpiece you are, and oh knox? She'll never be my Luna.” “Mariella will be my Luna, which makes her rank higher than yours and you might not like it but that's happening and I suggest you lose that attitude you have towards her.” Knox warns her, and I've never felt as satisfied as I do at this moment. “Knox, don't fight with her because of me.” I tug at his arm. Nova gasps, “She's so fake, I could tear you apart if my niece wasn't fond of her but you know what? F. U

    “Are you scared of him?” His head tilts, studying me.” “No?” I nearly whisper. “Not really, I just don't think it's wise to poke the bear and-” “It's time you buried the past if not confronted it.” Eliza interrupts my forged explanation. “You can't run the rest of your life simply because of something you had no control over.” I pause, she's right. It's been four years, but I can't just forget what I did. I killed Arabella Venus, I hurt Knox and his anger is justifiable but I also can't run from him my whole life. Then again, there's no shame in running, I've hidden just fine these past three years so I don't see the need to toss myself back into the lion's den. Or maybe this is what we both need, perhaps I need to let him hurt me to lessen the incurable blow of losing our daughter. And I too need him to hurt me, to chastise me for what I did until the numbness I crave finally hits me. “Rose?” Eliza calls out, her voice distant but clear. I quickly snap out of my daze an

    “I'm not, I'm just worried seeing him might blur some lines for you. Especially with-” “Knox.” she warns, “I'm married. In case you didn't notice, I've moved on. Sure I loved him but I'm in no position to feel anything other than humanity for him and any other man. What happened was my fault, I made those stupid decisions but I'm fine now. You need to let it go, it's not your place to hold such against him. Ezra is a very nice guy.” “Nice my ass.” I snort, keeping my eyes on the road. He would flaunt other women whenever they would fight and she thinks of him as nice. “It's very nice that you left things in the past but Amelia, I'll never forget the sight of my older sister hooked to those hospital machines, fighting for her life.” “Again. Nothing to do with Ezra.” she nearly yells. “I did everything because I was troubled, my mental capacity was nothing short of insane. Ezra finding his mate was just an excuse to spiral.” Ryan sighs. “He still hates him.” “You fucked h

    Trust me, you'll know. But in case you don't, she's with a preteen girl and the car is a custom made matte black Lexus. I don't reckon the model.” “I see, go on.” We go on ahead into the board room, finding his children quietly settled among my team and his. My team consists of Angela the architect, Ryan my right hand, Brianna my lawyer slash engineer and Omarion the manager and my brother in law. “Daddy.” The littlest one calls out, smiling big at him. “Hi, darling.” “Where's Aunt Princess?”The boy frowns. Alpha Ezra ruffles his hair and settles beside him. “She's coming, she's outside with Valerie.” “Hmph.” the boy crosses his arms over his chest. “I just want Aunt Princess.” “Sorry, they're at that stage where they obsess over one person for lord knows what. It's a miracle she's got enough patience or she'd be pissed easily.” “I understand, my daughter is fairly obsessed with her Aunt too.” The door to the boardroom swings open, revealing Ryan who inst

    “I understand that we are familiar with each other but you shall not question my intelligence and then proceed to utter profanity to my face.” “You-” “Pardon my interruption.” I smile, my gaze finding him but I look over his head because my confidence isn't sufficient to say it. “However I would hate if we let our personal lives cost us this project. I reckon how valuable it is to Ezra and so I'll let that slide.” Knox's head tilts, a deadly smirk on his lips. “Are you threatening me?” “No.” Rhys snorts. “However, Alpha Knox. It appears you're close to earning a lawsuit under the guise of defamation and if I may add a little razzle dazzle, verbal abuse.” “I'd win that case.” I snort, quickly gathering myself and my ego built on the basis of a courtroom winning streak. “I'm mature enough to not let my personal life interfere with my work. Believe me, Alpha Knox, I'm not happy about this either.” “Oh...kay.” Ryan sighs, blowing out a hushed whistle tone. “That's settle

    “Thalia?” I gulp, her name of foreign taste on my lips. I've not spoken of her in so long and I was getting used to living without her despite whatever unhealthy bond we previously shared.Angela snaps her fingers, “Bingo. So we all see her and girl let me tell you that room went so silent, except for the kids they-”“Kids?” my heart starts to race. “Bella and Katie Rose?”“No.” Angela snarls, “You need to let me finish. It's Alpha Ezra's kids, apparently, she's a super aunt or something anyhow, back to the entrance. So She enters, and we're shocked, I look towards Brianna she's gagged too and Alpha Knox is beyond pissed.”“What did he do?”“He looked like was ready to snap her neck but Alpha Ezra was so proud of himself for bringing her. Alpha started to be rude, to belittle her competence but her pack defended her. Alpha Ezra even threatened to call everything off if Thalia didn't like something we did.”Alpha Ezra? That's who she joined after leaving here? I never got an answ

    Now, I look at him. Trying not to breathe him in because he smells too good for comfort. “I know how much you hate me but for the next few months, you have to put up with me because I'm not going to let Ezra down. I'm not leaving, until everything is done.” I remind him because he seems to have forgotten that I'll be Ezra's project manager. Knox argued I can't do my job, and went as far as to dive deep into investigating my life but he found nothing behind my work life. “For every minute you spend in my sights, on my territory that I exiled you from? I will make your life hell, Thalia.” he warns, and there's certainly no bluff behind it. I know when he's playing, and right now he's not, he could smash my head against the wall with a fucking smile.“Fair enough, I understand and if I were in your position I would too.”“Stop it,” he growls.I frown, genuinely confused now.“I-I'm not doing anything, Knox.”“Alpha Knox.” he instantly corrects.“Right, sorry.” I nearly stutter. “Al

    “Novie? Are you okay?” Thalia repeats, her tone laced with concern. “Yes,” I nod, jumping off the bed. “I just remembered I have a proposal to submit at work, Knox might be here but he will still scold me.” “Okay, goodbye?” she calls out, but I'm already opening the door. My first instinct is to run to Knox, but I can't find him. The doctor says he went out to buy some special vitamins for Thalia. I book an Uber, my whole body shaking thanks to the information I just learned. The car couldn't go fast enough, in my opinion. My foot jitters the entire ride home, and when I'm finally dropped off, I nearly forget to pay the driver in my haste to find Mariella. “Mariella!” I scream, my voice bitter than it is most times I address her. This is someone Thalia trusted with her life, someone who betrayed her just so she can fuck Knox

  • Alpha's Regret: His Betrayed Luna   Chapter 86: Why did you leave?

    The words hit me like a thousand bricks to the head. I sit there, frozen, her voice echoing in my head long after she’s turned her face away. She doesn't know, she thinks the baby—babies are gone. In her head, they couldn't have made it through the blood, screaming and chaos. I want to correct her, I ache to tell her. To see her eyes taken with something other than pain, to watch life crawl back into her bones but not only do I not deserve the satisfaction, but the way she’s looking at me right now as if I’m the ghost that haunts her dreams makes me stop. She hates me as much as I long to hate her or even more and right now? I hate myself too. I hate the way I hurt her, the way I didn’t protect her from herself—or from me. “Thalia,” I call out, in an attempt to tell her the truth but when she looks at me with her teary eyes and tear-stained cheeks, the words get stuck in my throat. “Everything is okay,” I tell her but it's more for me, to ease some of the guilt that comes

  • Alpha's Regret: His Betrayed Luna   Chapter 85: My heart hurts

    KNOX It's been six hours since Thalia was rushed to the hospital, and four since the doctor let us see her. Ryan, Nova, Amara and I surround her hospital room while she just lays in the bed which makes her look so small and frail. She's still unconscious but the doctors swear both she and the pup are fine, I even had my pack doctor Madison come here to aid the other doctors because I trust her work, and believe in her methods. The doctor said she bled due to stress, and knowing I've been the biggest inducer of her stress has done something to me. I have this pain in my chest that won't go away, it intensifies each time I hear her name or think of it. I feel like crap, but if the need had been there I would have chosen her over our pup, I would rather she walk out on he own than take the pup from her. My words must have hurt her, I put both her and the pup at risk and now I don't know what to do. Amara came to the hospital a few hours ago, she and Nova are closely watching Thalia

    Hey wonderful readers, I hope you’re all doing amazing mentally, physically, and emotionally (because these characters sure aren’t helping with that, are they?). I am dying to know how you are feeling about the story so far. Who’s your favourite character? Who’s making you want to fling your phone across the room? Are Thalia and Knox making you scream too, or is it just me?? How’s the pacing—do you need more heartbreak, fights, or more kissing (or all)? Let me know in the comments and leave me a review, I’d love to know what’s got you hooked or raging. Thank you for reading, supporting, and choosing to fall into the chaos with me.♡ With love and just a dash of angst, XO, Athena.❦

    MARIELLA The sharp snap of the bullet tearing through the paper is the only thing that calms me but not today, I don't vengeance know what to do. I've been at the shooting range since I heard about the secret Knox has been keeping from me. I was having the best day, knowing I settled Arabella's obsession with Thalia but then a certain someone called and told me they overheard another say that Thalia was rushed to the hospital with Nova, and Alpha Knox and that was merely the opening statement, the final straw for me was learning she's pregnant. That bit of information turned my spa date into a rage outlet activity. I went to the shooting range, with Kennedy who has been nothing short of N instigator. I've stuck seven pictures of her on the body targets I paid extra for and so far, four are down, this little ritual of mine is practically more sacred today but with each shot, I'm reminded Thalia is still alive because none of the dummies bleeds like I know she would. “I hate

    I knock on the bathroom door twice, my knuckles stinging slightly from how hard I'm knocking. “Thalia? Are you okay in there?” I knock again, but I hear nothing. The restaurant has one bathroom with two stalls, and Thalia is the only one with the keys. Something feels wrong; it sends alarms ringing in my head. I rush to the reception for the spare key, but then it dawns on me that I didn't try to open the door, so I head back and twist it open. Thalia is on the floor when I get in, cradling her knees, arms wrapped around them while staring into nothingness. “Thalia, you had me worried.” I sigh, “What are you doing on the floor?” She doesn't answer, nor react to my presence. I crouch down beside her, tapping her shoulder, “What's wrong?” I ask, only then does she acknowledge me. She stares at me, eyes wide and distant. I start to panic, this doesn't look or feel normal. “Are you okay?” “Call Knox,” she swallows. Knox? What did my idiot brother do this time, did he scold her for

    “Maybe if he wasn't my chosen then I'd be happy.” I swallow, I picked Aaron for a mate, my ancestors really cursed me there by crossbreeding with lycans and interfering with the perfect assortment by the moon goddess. Okay, maybe not perfect, there's Thalia and Knox are proof even the moon goddess can get things wrong. “You know, I would have waited for my fated mate or died waiting, anything would be better than this.” “Aww, I'm sorry, Novie.” Thalia caresses my arm. “I wish I knew what to say but my love life is a bigger fuck up.” “True,” we share a laugh. “But I am fine, I'll get over him and start over, just me and Katie Rose...” I trail off, forgetting he will always be around because we share a child, and he will torment me with that. “It's not your fault, you're not wrong for wanting a peaceful life.” “I'm wrong for not forgiving him,” I admit. Many women would overlook this and hand him a second chance but I'm just not there yet, I don't think I'll ever be there. “No

    “Calm down,” I tell her, watching how easily her emotional state has escalated. I'm just trying to find something that works for me and my children and not having her around worked just fine for me. “No, you,” she points at me, shaking still. “You don't tell me what to do, you're sick! I just found out you knocked up for sport, tortured me because I didn't get pregnant when you hate me for killing our child?” “Thalia,” I warn, not liking the way her breathing pattern has quickened with each word she says. “Sorry, touchy subject, I know.” she nervously laughs, misreading my concern. “But I'm not giving up my baby to some sadistic psychopath with had a brain cell.” I ignore the jab at my intelligence, and still unsure of why she's so upset when she's mentioned she doesn't want a baby. “You yourself have expressed your need to not have a baby, if you give the child to me I'll raise it better than you can.” I tell her, knowing the example of my parenting is sitting at home happy a

And me too, she's nice but she can be very bad sometimes.” “Why?” “I don't know,” I sigh. “But if you want to go to school, and be a flower girl in Mommy and Daddy's wedding then you have to stop liking Thalia.” I prompt, watching her frown, her gaze a multitude of unspoken questions. “If you do that, I can convince Daddy to let you go to school.” She frowns, “But Mommy, I like her.” “So I do,” I frown. “But if you really want to go to school, and get that pretty dollhouse daddy said no to then you have to stay away from Thalia and treat her like strangers.” Arabella doesn't respond, she's been wanting to attend school since she
