Alpha's Regret: Mated with My Ex's Uncle Chapter 21
Lionel's POVCamellia's hand on the car door tightened unconsciously, her fingertips turning white.She bit her lower lip, then said softly, "Alright, sorry for the trouble."With that, she took a step back, still holding my jacket, and turned to leave.The rotten scent of pine needles and vervain mixed with her sweet lychee and rose aroma, making my temples throb.My wolf, Leroy, raged within me, tearing at my spine. "You'll regret this! She needs our protection!"I lit a cigar and took a deep drag, the nicotine suppressing the desire rising in my throat. "She's Esmond's mate.""That's just a temporary mark left by that fool. Their bond is about to break!" Leroy's fangs pierced through my mental barrier. "If you just re-mark her—""Enough."Leroy grumbled in dissatisfaction.He didn't understand me, but I understood him. He was driven by primal instincts, the urge to claim and protect our mate.But Camellia's situation was too complicated. I was Alpha Drogo's son, but I was no longer

Esmond's POVHazel knelt on the moss-green carpet, her rogue scent of rotting grass mixing with the salty tang of tears.I grabbed her, disgusted, and tried to drag her out of my parents' villa.Suddenly, Priscilla swung her cane, striking my back. The moonstone at the tip tore through my shirt, leaving a stinging pain.Priscilla roared, "For that barren bitch from the Shadowfang Pack, you're willing to ruin your inheritance?"When the cane came down a second time, I caught the jewel-encrusted shaft with my bare hand. "Priscilla, you should be more concerned about how to explain to Alpha Drogo why you've been harboring a rogue, which could lead to the Ironclaw Pack being investigated by the elders.""As for the child in her belly, it must be dealt with!"As I finished speaking, six or seven burly pack guards entered the room and moved to take Hazel away."Priscilla, please, save my child… I don't want to lose him…" Hazel sobbed, pleading with my mother.Priscilla slammed her hand on t

Camellia's POVAfter returning to my apartment, I ordered a pizza and took a shower.Just as I finished drying my hair, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw Noelle's name on the screen. I pressed the answer button."Noelle, what's up?"Noelle's gentle voice came through. "Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you've started working recently?"I hadn't planned to hide this from them, and with Claire showing up at the werewolf hospital, I figured it wouldn't stay a secret for long."Yeah," I replied.There was silence on the other end for a moment before Noelle spoke again. "Did you and Esmond have a fight?"A while back, when I visited the Shadowfang Pack, I'd told Noelle I was trying to conceive.Now, suddenly, I was working. If nothing had happened, she wouldn't believe it.I let out a soft sigh. "It's not exactly a fight."I absentmindedly twirled a strand of my chestnut curls around my finger, my nails tangling in the hair."Noelle, this needs a longer explanation. When we both ha

Esmond's POVAs Camellia spoke, her voice began to tremble.That shaky voice struck my heart, one blow after another.I watched the tears trembling on her lashes, my throat suddenly feeling like it had been rubbed raw with sandpaper."I'm really sorry…"Since she'd brought up rejection, I'd said "I'm sorry" too many times, but this time the burning pain on my tongue felt especially real.When she wiped her tears, the faint mark from her ring finger gleamed white in the moonlight. It suddenly reminded me of the night eight years ago when I'd slipped the ring onto her finger. Her ears had been just as red then.My wolf clawed restlessly in my mind.The sharp sound pierced my temples. It longed for its mate, longed to repair the broken mate bond."Go home," she said, her wrist still bearing the bracelet I'd given her last year. The platinum clasp peeked out from her sleeve.I had so much to say. I wanted to stay with her, even if it was just to be by her side in silence.But I knew her t

Claire's POVHearing this, I looked up at Blanche in disbelief.My wolf growled in my mind, a warning triggered by the threat.Unfortunately, Blanche was just a human."Blanche… you could've kept this quiet. Why report it to headquarters? Just because I made one mistake, does that erase all the hard work I've done before?" I asked.I'd pulled all-nighters for experimental data, even sleeping in the lab.Why was Blanche only focusing on this one mistake and ignoring all the good I'd done?I gripped the glass partition of the lab, my knuckles turning white from the pressure.Last Christmas Eve, when I'd stayed overnight with the centrifuge, it wasn't the smell of gingerbread I'd inhaled but the stench of wolfsbane."The hard work you've done is what you're paid for. Especially since you're working on life-saving drug development. I can accept experimental failures, but if you're falsifying data, I won't accept any excuses!"Blanche's voice was heavy. It was clear she wasn't going to let

Camellia's POVThe smell of disinfectant and pheromone neutralizers clashed in the ventilation ducts. I stared at the temporary mark on my neck in the mirror.The bite mark from the fangs had healed, leaving only a faint crescent-shaped scar.When my fingertips brushed the edge of the crescent, a pained whimper rose from deep within my spine—Lyra, my wolf, was growing weaker as the mate bond fractured.Lyra thrashed her tail restlessly deep within me, her claws scratching at my ribs through the flesh.A werewolf's superhuman healing should have made such a minor injury vanish instantly, but the crumbling mate bond was causing my body to function more like a human's.I picked up an ice pack and pressed it to my cheek.After about ten minutes, the burning pain subsided. I returned to my workstation.As soon as I sat down, my colleague, Rhea, slid her chair over to me.This human usually carried the sterile scent of the lab, but now there was a faint undercurrent of excitement—clearly, n

Esmond's POVCamellia hung up on me, but I wasn't angry. At least she agreed to see me.I parked the black Cayenne near NovaStar Pharmaceuticals, got out, and straightened my gray suit—the one Camellia used to love seeing me in.Passersby glanced my way, but my attention was fixed on the entrance of NovaStar.Before long, Camellia walked out.She approached me quickly, her expression neutral. "Where are the clothes?"She stopped three steps away. The broken mate bond made my wolf restless.Her lashes fluttered slightly, making the handprint on her cheekbone even more noticeable. My hand instinctively reached out to touch her face.Caught off guard, Camellia didn't react until my dry, warm palm cupped her cheek. She jerked back immediately.My fingers trembled slightly as I pressed the car key, and a terrifying aura radiated from me. "Who did this?"She grabbed the paper bag, loosening the tie of her lab coat. "It was from an explosion in the cultivation chamber.""You got a slap mark

Esmond's POVAfter dealing with that despicable rogue, I left the bar. Just as I stepped outside, my phone rang."That woman Hazel has been taken back to the Ironclaw Pack by Priscilla."Hearing this report from my subordinate, my wolf and I both instantly grew furious.I hung up and drove straight back to the Ironclaw Pack.Instead of going to my own house, I parked at my parents' villa. As I walked in, I was seething with anger.Priscilla was sitting in the living room, seemingly waiting for me.When she saw me enter, she showed no surprise."No need to be angry. I've decided to keep the child," she said leisurely.I couldn't control my aura. The overwhelming pressure of an Alpha erupted instantly."Mom, have you lost your mind? If Alpha Drogo and the other members of the Dalton family find out, you know the consequences."I spoke through gritted teeth."The doctor said the surgery could easily kill both mother and child. At the end of the day, if you hadn't lost control, this child

Lionel's POVI was reviewing lab surveillance footage when my suit pocket vibrated with an incoming satellite call.I answered, and Konstantin's urgent breathing filled my ear. "Alpha Lionel, Miss Sanders has gone missing!"My knuckles crushed a pen, splintering wood into sharp shards. "What's the situation?"Leroy whined anxiously in my mind."Her place is a mess. Her phone's on the sofa, but she's gone."Fabric rustled as Konstantin investigated. "There are drag marks on the hallway carpet, and in the kitchen...""Check it out." Cedar scent froze on my tongue as I loosened my tie and headed to the garage.A sudden pain seared my neck—my true mate was in danger.Unfortunately, without her marked, I couldn't pinpoint her location.Leroy's claws scraped my nerves."Let me take over," it growled."Shut up. Not the time to shift," I snapped back.Oddly, a flicker of anxiety stirred within m

Camellia's POVFrom Connor's conversation with that man, I figured out he kidnapped me for money.In a flash, everything became clear.Claire wanted me dead but didn't want to get involved, so she arranged for Connor to kidnap me. If I died, Connor would take the blame.She might even plan to kill him too. After all, dead men tell no tales.Seeing I didn't respond, Claire sneered, "If you don't call, you'll die right now."I knew calling Esmond was my only chance to survive.If I could hold on until he came, I might live."Alright, I'll call.""You give the number, I'll dial. But think carefully about what you say."She put Esmond's call on speakerphone.But it wasn't Esmond who answered. It was Hazel."Who's this?"Recognizing Hazel's voice, my heart sank."It's Camellia. I need to speak to Esmond."Hazel giggled. "Esmond's taking a shower. You can tell me what you want, and I'l

Third Person's POVAt the Pioneer Tech Group's CEO office, Konstantin rushed in with a document."Alpha Lionel, our cooperator returned this file, claiming issues with the experimental data. I can't pinpoint the exact problems."Lionel scanned the document and said, "Call Camellia."Konstantin nodded and dialed Camellia's number."Buzz, buzz, buzz..."The phone vibrated in the dark living room, eventually stopping.After several failed attempts, Konstantin suggested, "Shall I bring the document to Miss Sanders?""Okay."Camellia's POVI woke to the suffocating darkness of what felt like a trunk, my pulse roaring in my ears. Panic and fear gripped me.Kidnapping was unheard of in my world.They might kill me at any time.I forced steady breaths despite the panic, registering the vehicle's movement.Where are they taking me?I dwelled on the possibilities. I lived in an old residen

Camellia's POVAs I sneered, a burning pain surged in the back of my neck.Lyra growled threateningly in the depths of my consciousness, her fangs scraping against my spine.Each word I uttered carried the low - frequency tremor characteristic of werewolves, "If you dare go to my dad again, I'll expose your infidelity."The broken mate bond exploded in my chest like thorny bushes. The remnants of verbena's cloying sweetness in Esmond's cuffs stung my olfactory nerves."Are you not afraid of worsening his condition?" he said with a shrug, fueling my anger as my fists clenched."How could you become so shameless?" I exclaimed."Shameless?"Esmond's pupils swirled with the Ironclaw Pack's bloody totem. The fingertips gripping my jaw exuded a murky blend of pine and verbena."Cam, I merely wanted you back and to keep your distance from Lionel. You're the one provoking me," he said.I stumbled backward against the wall

Camellia's POVAt noon, I headed to the cafeteria and was stunned by its luxury.The food at each window looked exquisitely prepared, making my mouth water.I queued at a Thai food stall, ordered pineapple fried rice and tom yum soup, and sat in a corner.The first spoonful of soup tasted as good as what I'd had at a five-star restaurant before.I'd once thought it was an exaggeration that Pioneer Tech's cafeteria rivaled five-star venues, but now I saw it was true.Back in the lab, I started the afternoon's experiment.As the reaction began, I sat nearby, timing and recording.Suddenly, a message from Esmond came in."I'm downstairs at Pioneer Tech. Come down now, or I'll come up myself."I frowned, surprised he'd found out I was here so quickly.I called him.After two rings, he answered but stayed silent."I'm here on company business. You coming here won't change anything.""You cou

Camellia's POVI was about to continue my experiment in the lab when I received a message from Blanche, asking me to go to her office.I entered the office. Blanche smiled as she asked me to sit down."Camellia, how was your business trip to New York with Mr. Dalton?"I pursed my lips and replied, "It was okay. What do you need me for, Blanche?""Here's the thing. Headquarters highly values the project you're developing, and since it's funded by Pioneer Tech, they want to send you to work at their company for a while. This way, Mr. Dalton won't have to keep running back and forth to follow up on the experiment's progress."I was surprised and my eyebrows furrowed."How long will I be there? And does Pioneer Tech have a lab?"Blanche smiled and said, "I'm not exactly sure how long you'll be there. Probably until the project has made some progress. As for the lab, don't worry. Pioneer Tech bought a building next to their group he

Camellia's POVI finished breakfast, put on my shoes, and was about to leave for work.As I turned the lock, the smell of rotten pine and verbena remnants flooded my nostrils.Lyra bristled at the base of my spine. My pheromones crystallized from shock.Esmond's pupils flickered with the Ironclaw Pack's signature amber slits, signaling impending loss of control.I frowned and asked, "What do you want..."My words died in my throat as his palm erupted with pine needle pheromones, piercing my skin like rotten thorns.Lyra arched her back, emitting a silent howl only I could hear—the broken mate bond was retaliating through the contact point, searing the contract scar on my tailbone.Esmond grabbed my hand, yanked me against the wall, and pinned me there."I told you to stay away from Lionel. You seem to have ignored me completely."One hand held me down while the other slowly moved down my face, his eyes glint

Camellia's POV"Thank goodness you're up. That photo was taken by a well-known photographer. He casually posted it on his personal Instagram after coming back, and unexpectedly, it went viral. People are praising you and Lionel as a good-looking pair, a perfect match," Eugenia said.I was left speechless.Even though the photo only captured our profiles, anyone who knew us could easily recognize us. No wonder Esmond was so angry earlier."It's just a matter of shooting angle. I'll contact Lionel. Talk to you later."If this incident gets blown out of proportion, it won't benefit me in any way.After hanging up, I thought for a moment and contacted Konstantin instead of Lionel directly.Upon learning that I was inquiring about the photo, Konstantin hurriedly said, "Miss Sanders, our team is already in contact with the photographer to resolve this. Please don't worry.""Alright, please let me know once it's settled," I replied.
Alpha's Regret: Mated with My Ex's Uncle Chapter 72
Camellia's POVAfter Eugenia left, I was about to get my car when I heard someone calling me from behind.I turned around and saw Konstantin and Lionel walking toward me.Lionel seemed to have had some alcohol, his face a bit flushed. The top two buttons of his white shirt were undone, revealing his well-defined collarbone, and his suit jacket was casually draped over his arm. His inborn aristocratic aura made people involuntarily focus on him.The back of my neck suddenly felt scorching hot, and Lyra was restlessly arching in my ribs. The cedar cold scent had already pierced through the neon lights before the sound wave reached me.At the sight of him, I was reminded of the odd words Esmond said to me the other day.'Does Lionel have some ulterior motive toward me?''Since Esmond and I haven't rejected each other yet, he shouldn't be able to tell that I'm his true mate.''Anyway, he has never shown any signs of it.''Ev
