SOPHIA’S POV

The city was quiet, the hum of life outside muted by the late hour. I've always loved living in this part of the city. It was homely but sophisticated, the perfect place to raise my kids. I loved that they’ve lived here and this is home to them.

I sat on the couch, legs tucked beneath me, the soft glow of the lamp the only source of light. My phone rested on the coffee table, Lucas’s message still lingering on the screen.

Proud of you beautiful.

I traced the rim of my wine glass with my finger, lost in thought.

Nathan.

I had spent so, so many years trying to forget him. To erase the man who once felt like the center of my world. I told myself I had succeeded, that I had moved on, left him in the past where he belonged. But tonight… Tonight proved otherwise.

I should have been fine. I had prepared for this moment – seeing him again, facing whatever unresolved weaves were left between us. But nothing could have prepared me for the storm that seeing him unleashed.

He looked…

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 145 – Are the Twins Really Mine?

    SOPHIA'S POVThe dull hum of soft conversation among the waiters filled the restaurant as I oversaw the final touches for tonight’s dinner service. The tables were set with pristine white linens, candles flickering softly in the dim light. A private reservation under Emerald Ventures had booked the entire place for the evening – a request we’d received before for special occasions, and I thought nothing of it.I glanced at my watch. The reservation was set to begin in fifteen minutes, but the restaurant was strangely quiet, devoid of any guests. Odd. Usually, corporate groups arrive early, excited and noisy. It was usually a relief from their everyday lives.“Alright boss. That's everything. If you need anything, I'll just be loading in the things at the back.” Marco said, wiping his hands clean of the sauce he had been making earlier.“You know you could leave that till tomorrow yeah?” I asked him with a small smile on my face, fiddling with my necklace.“No can do boss. Only because

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 146 – She wasn’t just angry. She was done.

    NATHAN’S POVThe door to Sophia’s restaurant slammed shut behind me, but its echo followed me all the way down the street, reverberating in my chest like a war drum. My pulse roared in my ears, drowning out the hum of city life around me.The twins.They were mine.My legs carried me forward on autopilot, my mind stuck on that single revelation. The twins – Alex and Alexia – weren’t just some coincidence. Not just a fleeting connection in a museum that haunted me endlessly.They were my blood. My children.Sophia’s silence had spoken louder than any confession ever could. My hands trembled as I shoved them into my pockets, the weight of everything crashing down on me like a tidal wave.I hurt her. No, I destroyed her.The image of her standing there, fury in her eyes and pain radiating off her like heat from a wildfire, wouldn’t leave me. Her words echoed in my head, sharp and unforgiving. “You cast me out of the only home I had ever known.”I ran a hand down my face, my breath unste

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 147 – Love Isn’t Enough

    SOPHIA'S POV The moment Nathan left, the strength that had held me upright crumbled. My knees gave out, and I sank onto one of the chairs, gripping the edge of the table like it was the only thing tethering me to the earth. I cleared my mind, taking deep breaths to steady myself. He knew.The secret I had held close for so many years, the one thing I had sworn to protect at all costs – he knew.They’re mine.His voice still echoed in my head, raw with realization. I had seen it happen in real time – the exact moment it clicked. The weight of it had staggered him, shaken him down to his core.And the worst part?I had seen something else in his eyes too.Regret.Not just the casual, surface-level kind. No, this was deeper. The kind that has been sequestered deep in a person’s soul.“Good.” My wolf huffed, her presence simmering beneath my skin. “Let him drown in it.”I pressed the heels of my palms into my hair, smoothening the strands. “It doesn’t matter,” I whispered. "It changes n

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 148 –  Show Her, Not Tell Her

    NATHAN’S POVThe impact rattled my bones. My fist connected with the punching bag again, harder this time, sending it swinging wildly. Again.My breath came in ragged gasps, my skin slick and coated with sweat. The dimly lit training room smelled of leather and sawdust, the air thick with my frustration.Again.I corrected my stance, muscles coiled tight and threw another punch. Then another. The sting in my knuckles barely registered. I needed the pain. I welcomed it.Sophia’s voice echoed in my head – raw, furious, unforgiving.“You cast me out of the only home I had ever known.”I clenched my jaw and struck again and even I knew my movements were turning wild, unfocused. The anger wouldn’t burn out. It just coiled tighter, threatening to consume me. I saw the moment Sophia realized I knew the truth about the twins. I could envision the silence that had condemned me.“Are the twins really mine?”Her expression filled with defiance and anger was one I would never forget.I had forg

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 149 – Not When He Was Looking at Me Like That

    SOPHIA'S POVThe restaurant had long since emptied, save for a few lingering patrons finishing their meals, and the soft hum of closing-time preparations filled the air. The scent of freshly baked bread and simmering sauces wafted through the kitchens to me, a reminder of the long day I'd had. I wiped a damp cloth across the counter, my movements slower than usual, my thoughts far too tangled to focus.Nathan.The name alone sent a fresh wave of frustration through me. I had spent years locking him out of my mind, reminding myself that he was simply an ugly reminder of my past and now, with a few careless words and a look that made my heart lurch in ways I didn’t want to acknowledge, he was back in my head, unraveling the careful balance I had built.I sighed, pressing my fingers against my temples. Enough.“You look like you're trying to kill that counter.” Lucas’s voice broke through my haze, warm and laced with amusement.I glanced up, meeting his steady gaze as he leaned against t

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 150 – I'm Coming Back!

    THEON’S POVI exhaled slowly, rubbing my temples as the raised voices of pack members clashed in the air like a venti storm brewing. The clearing outside the packhouse was thick with tension, wolves standing in scattered groups, their expressions ranging from angry to impatient to bored.At the center of it all, as always, was Beta Lewis.“This is unacceptable,” Lewis growled, his stance rigid, eyes burning with barely concealed fury. “My daughter deserves better than to be treated like some – some commoner among the pack. She has the blood of a Beta in her veins. That should mean something!”I bit back the urge to sigh. I’d heard this argument before – several times, in fact. Ever since Nathan had left to establish his company in the human world, Lewis had been pushing harder, demanding recognition, stirring unrest with talk of traditions and bloodlines. He used to be calmer when Nathan was around but after months of the Alpha's absence, I could tell Lewis was getting used to the pow

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 151 – I Am Not Asking for Your Forgiveness. Not Yet!

    NATHAN'S POVThe grounds were packed, every inch of space filled with wolves. Some stood rigid, their arms crossed, their gazes hard. Others murmured amongst themselves, their voices a low hum of tension. The weight of their judgment pressed against my skin, but I stood tall, my expression unreadable.Leaving the city and coming back here was one of the hardest decisions I'd ever had to make. Necessary, yes, but it certainly did not take away from the difficulty.I brushed a hard across my face as I stood at the border of the territory. I remembered my conversation with Elara before I came here. It was only fitting I'd seen her before making such a decision. “Are you sure this is what you want to do? It would mean you walking away from what you've always known.”“I have to. I would never know otherwise.” She looked at me like she was trying to decipher a code. I didn't give two shits. It was an honest answer. And it was perhaps, the only answer I knew.Then she nodded like she had fo

    SOPHIA'S POVWhat the hell?The world around me blurred.One moment, I was standing in my kitchen, rolling out fresh pasta dough for dinner. The next– Nathan’s voice was in my head.“Watch. Please.”The words weren’t a plea. It wasn’t a demand. It was something worse. A tether.I didn’t even have a chance to resist before the connection swallowed me whole.And suddenly, I was there.I wasn’t in my kitchen anymore. I was standing in the heart of the pack’s gathering, surrounded by wolves I once called family, in a place I had once called my home. My breath caught as I saw them – the tension, the division. Theon at Nathan’s side, his face unreadable. Beta Lewis, his usual arrogance burning hot but still the man I had once considered a father. Wolves murmured, some nodding in agreement, others scowling.And then, him.Nathan.Standing tall, unshaken, but not untouched.“I have led this pack for years,” H said, his voice carrying across the gathering. “I have fought for you.

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 214 – Where is he? Where’s Alex, Sophia?

    NATHAN'S POVThe morning passed in a rare kind of peace.For once, the air in the office wasn’t heavy with tension or crisis. The team was in high spirits, and business was running smoothly. Priya had been grinning since she walked in, flipping through reports with a satisfied nod before updating me on the latest developments.“We finalized the contract with Veridan Enterprises. They signed off on everything this morning.” She said, placing a crisp folder on my desk. “And the partnership with HavenTech is set to launch next quarter. At this rate, we should probably think of hiring more people and expanding. We could open more branches and get into new ventures!”Camille poked her head in. “Okay, slow your roll Minnie. Your enthusiasm is starting to affect even Jacob. He looks like he's coming off a crazy hangover. You good there Jacob?” She directed the last bit at the man, as he looked a little worse for wear and not like the usually meticulously put together man we all knew. And wo

    SOPHIA'S POVThis cannot keep happening. I moved quickly, my mind a blur of frantic thoughts as I carried Alex down the hallway, my heart pounding in my chest. His small body felt so fragile in my arms, limp and feverish. I could feel the heat radiating off him, a burning temperature that made my stomach churn. It shouldn't feel possible, and yet, it was.I wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but it felt like the world had slowed down. Every second felt like an eternity as I pushed through the house, my pulse racing. I had to get him help, now.I reached the kitchen, feeling like I was suffocating in the stillness of the house. I set Alex down on the counter, quickly dialing the number I knew all too well, that I had memorised out of necessity but never thinking I would need it again. The phone rang, and I couldn’t stop my hands from trembling.“Come on, come on.” I whispered under my breath, willing the phone to connect.The line clicked, and her voice, calm yet urgent, answered o

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 212 – Alex, baby, wake up!

    SOPHIA'S POVI was still smirking when I set my phone down. Leave it to Maria and Grace to turn a casual morning chat into a remake of a freshly produced detective show about my love life.I shook my head, stretching my arms over my head as I stood from the couch. It had been a good call – lighthearted, full of laughter. The kind that made you forget, just for a little while, about everything else.Maybe that was why I had let my guard down.I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling as I headed toward the kitchen to rinse out my coffee cup. I had been up for a while now, yet the house remained silent. The twins usually slept in on weekends, but even then, I should have heard some noise by now – kids moving under blankets, quiet giggles, footsteps running down the hall.Instead, there was only stillness.I frowned but shook off the unease creeping in. Maybe they were just extra tired. Last night had been a long one, and after all the excitement, I wouldn’t blame them for sleeping in.Just

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 211 – You keep telling yourself that

    SOPHIA'S POVThe morning sun streamed through my bedroom window, warm and golden. I stretched under the covers, letting the quiet sink in.For once, there was no rush. No stress pressing down on my chest. Just peace.It had been a long time since I’d felt this way.Nathan.The thought came uninvited, making my stomach twist. Last night had been a mistake. A moment of weakness.But deep down, I knew that wasn’t true.I sighed, rubbing my temples. I can’t do this. I can’t let myself go back.“Then why are you thinking about him?” my wolf asked, her voice calm but firm.I hesitated. Because I don’t know what to do.“Yes, you do.”I shook my head, pushing the covers off. It doesn’t matter. “Last night doesn’t change anything.”“You keep telling yourself that.”Ignoring her, I got out of bed and grabbed my robe. I had things to do – breakfast to make, the kids to check on.The house was unusually quiet – a rare moment of peace. The kids were still asleep, and for once, there were no urgent

    VICTORIA’S POVBanishment was supposed to be a punishment. A lesson. A fate worse than death.But for me, it had been a gift.I thrived in the shadows.The pack had cast me out, turned their backs on me, left me to rot in exile – but I was not broken. If anything, I was stronger. Smarter. More patient. I had learned the art of waiting, of watching, of planting whispers in the right ears.And now, the time was near.I stood at the edge of the clearing, concealed by the thick canopy of the trees. The cold wind carried the scent of home – the home that had been stolen from me. The pack had changed since my exile. There were cracks in their unity, doubts growing beneath the surface. Nathan’s leadership had wavered. His own people questioned him, and all because of her.Sophia.The name alone made my wolf bristle inside me."He still went back to her." My wolf’s voice slithered into my mind, her tone low and sharp.I clenched my fists. “Yes. Like a fool.”Nathan should have moved on by now

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 209 – Something long lost, but never truly forgotten

    NATHAN'S POVThe night air was crisp, carrying the scent of damp earth and New York, mingling with the lingering aromas of the celebration. Laughter and warmth had filled Sophia’s home for hours, wrapping around everyone like a familiar embrace of friendship. But now, as I led her away from the house, away from the others, the world seemed quieter. More intimate.She didn’t resist.That in itself said everything.Sophia walked beside me, her steps measured but unhurried, her hand still warm from where I had taken it in mine. I had expected her to pull away, to hesitate, to remind me that things weren’t the way they used to be. But she hadn’t. And so I held on, just enough to let her know I was here, that I wasn’t letting go. Not tonight.Not ever.I glanced at her from the corner of my eye. She was beautiful like this – lit only by the moon, the glow of distant lanterns softening her features. There was something in her expression I couldn’t quite place, something between nostalgia a

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 208 – I let myself lean in, let myself go

    LUCAS' POVI exhaled sharply as the jet touched down, the soft hum of the landing doing little to soothe the irritation clawing at my nerves and seeping up my bones. Seventy-two hours. That’s how long I’d spent in Canada, buried in negotiations that refused to go my way. Every time I thought the deal was closing, something else got in the way – legal hurdles, financial concerns, last-minute hesitations from the other side. Just a bunch of jargon.The delay was supposed to be minor – just a few signatures, a handshake, and I’d be on the next flight home. Instead, I found myself trapped in a boardroom in Vancouver, staring down a table full of indecisive executives who suddenly couldn’t agree on anything.“This isn’t what we discussed.” I said, barely keeping my frustration in check. “We agreed on the terms weeks ago.”One of the older men, Dawson, adjusted his glasses and gave me a condescending smile. “Yes, but given the recent market shifts, we need to reevaluate the risk factors.”M

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 207 – A badass criminal genius or an idiot with a death wish

    SOPHIA'S POVLaughter filled the air, warm and bright, wrapping around me like an old but comfortable blanket.The restaurant had been transformed in record time – streamers hung from the ceiling, fairy lights twinkled like stars, and the long communal table was packed with friends, drinks, and enough food to feed a small army. Someone had even put on music, something upbeat and festive, and the energy in the room crackled with celebration.Maria, of course, had gone overboard.“To our very own Master Chef!” She shouted, raising her glass dramatically, her voice carrying over the noise. “I mean, technically that’s not the title, but we all know who the real winner is!”A chorus of cheers went up, followed by a loud whoop from Grace, who sat at the head of the table, looking entirely too pleased. “Damn right! She owned that competition! I nearly punched the screen when that Emelia chick started whining about a rematch. And that's saying something because I'm all about controlling your

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 206 – A Recipe for Trouble vs A Recipe to Win

    SOPHIA'S POVThe venue was nothing short of stunning.Polished marble floors, chandeliers casting a warm glow, and sleek stainless steel workstations lined up neatly. The air buzzed with quiet anticipation as chefs prepped their stations, checking their ingredients and supplies. I could tell the air in the room was charged with energy the minute I stepped in.Goddamn. Even my wolf was impressed, from where she watched.I adjusted the strap of my apron, taking in the space. This competition wasn’t televised, but that didn’t make it any less intense. Winning meant prestige, respect, and proving that I belonged among the best.And across the room, Emelia stood with that same smirk I’d seen a dozen times before.Maria, standing beside me, let out a low whistle. “Damn. They really went all out. Makes our kitchen look like a food truck.”I shot her a look. “‘Our’ kitchen is just fine.”“Yeah, yeah.” She said, waving a hand. “You ready?”I nodded, rolling my shoulders. “As I’ll ever be.”The
