SOPHIA'S POV

Mrs. Jackson exclaims and pulls him over for a hug. With the fence in between them, I don't know how she did it, but she managed to squeeze Lucas in her arms.

“Oh, I never thought I'd see you in person. You look so handsome. Are you two dating?”

“No ma'am, we're not,” Lucas answers for me, chuckling.

I decided it was time for that conversation to end. “Well, Mrs. Jackson, we'll see you later. Sure you won't get someone to help you out with your gardening every now and then?”

“Oh no, no, my youngest, he's getting his PhD soon, and he'll be back to keep me company. He has three degrees now. He's also quite the handsome fellow. Around your age too.”

If I didn't know any better, I would have thought Mrs. Jackson was advertising her son to me. I laugh at her antics. “I'm sure he's quite the person. I look forward to meeting him.”

“Alright, dear. You take care of her, you hear me? She's a good one.” She pats Lucas's arm as she releases him.

We wave her goodbye and head in, remo

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 28– It's not a date!

    SOPHIA'S POV Feeling his hands on my waist, I shivered at the warmth of his touch and my body froze up.“It's not a date.” I offered up resistance and Lucas just grinned and leaned closer.“Does that mean you don't want to go?”“You... I will…” My words trailed off as I felt his hands creep up and they rested on the small of my back and pulled me closer to him.“Then it's a date,” Lucas said once again and I didn't have any words left to deny him and nodded.But his hands still did not leave and his touch became scalding as I became aware of the nature of our contact.“Lucas…” Not exactly sure what I was threatening him with, I growled…. or at least, attempted to but for some reason, it came out weak.Lucas did not reply and just gazed into my eyes and I averted my gaze.“Look at me.” He said softly and his grip weakened as he raised his hand to my head and I felt like I could break free at any moment.But I couldn't. Or perhaps, I didn't want to. Perhaps something somewhere within m

    NATHAN'S POVSuspicious. That was what my mind had been telling me ever since that day.Victoria had been by my side for years. There was no way she could have betrayed me.I tried to reason with my suspicions when my wolf, which usually stayed dormant, came up.“What if she did?” It left me with that, and it stayed in my mind.I did not want to pursue that line of thought because it would only mean one thing: a man who was foolish enough to believe the words of his childhood friend over the words of his destined one.“I told you it wasn't me!” A yell broke me free of my thoughts, and I looked over to find a group of children glaring at one child.That one child had tears in her eyes, but she still stood her ground as she looked at the kids surrounding her.“Then who did? Claire said it was you, and we found you next to it.” I narrowed my gaze to another girl, who was sobbing as a few boys comforted her.“I told you it was Claire! She broke it and ran away. I was just trying to fix it

    NATHAN’S POV“The person from five years ago was now the head of the Silverfang pack.”The words just kept ringing in my head from what he said. Why? Why now? Why were the pieces of the puzzle just coming together now?“Are you sure?” I ask him, just to leave no room for doubt.“Yes, Alpha, I am.”“Thank you, Theon. You may leave now.”He bows and leaves the grounds. I take my time walking to my home. There’s, after all, no need to rush. No mate waiting for me at home, for her husband to come home.Although I had spent all this time trying to take my mind off Sophia and move on, there was something about that day that had just kept nagging me. But I did not think it through. I banished her immediately.As soon as I found out that she had left, I had called a council meeting to discuss what happened. They had been very confused, as not everyone had knowledge of what happened.I decided to inform them.“So, as most of you know, I banished my mate, and she is no longer welcome in the pac

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 31 – You’re a long way from home

    NATHAN'S POVWe burst into the food storage building, our eyes scanning the dimly lit space for any sign of the intruders. The raiders, caught off guard, were quickly overpowered by our superior strength and numbers, closing in on themselves.One of the werewolves, a tall and lean figure with yellow eyes, obviously the leader of this little raid group, growled, leaving the little circle they had formed.I watched his movements. I could tell the warriors were tensed up for his attack, but I communicated to them in my head. “Hold. I'll handle this.”“Are you sure, Alpha?” One of them asked. He was obviously one of the newer warriors and has never seen me fight.“Take notes, would you?”Just as I had finished this thought, I watched as he tensed up, then ran at full speed, lunging at me. I waited until he was close to me and could not change directions, before side-stepping him, using a burst of strength to push his body into the wall. He crashed into the structure and howled in pain.Bu

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 32 – What kind of Alpha am I?

    NATHAN'S POVI stared hard at the girl, trying to discern any lies. “You mean, the same pack leader of the Silverfang?” I asked, and the girl shivered as her lips trembled in fear as she spoke.“Yes, him, our Alpha,” she said, and one of the warriors snorted.“Yeah, no kidding.”Cutting him a look, I gestured for the girl to continue, and she gathered herself, and then started to speak.“Malachi is our Alpha. He was the one who sent us here. In just a few years, he had the majority of the pack under his control. No one defies him, and his rule is absolute.”As she said that, the werewolf broke into shivers again, and I coughed. That seemed to bring her back to her senses, and she continued talking.Still, I couldn't help but wonder just what this Malachi did to make her fear him.“He is far more vicious than anything I could imagine. All those who tried to challenge him wished for death. Even now, I can still…”Her words broke off again, and I sighed and gestured for one of the warrio

    NATHAN'S POV“What!” I half-yelled, and almost everyone present stiffened up as Lewis jumped to his feet.Rodney may have lost Lewis, but he was still one of the best members of the pack in combat.If he escaped, that would put all members of the pack at risk.Judging from the bloodstains, it seemed like he was willing to hurt even his own pack members in order to escape.“Everyone! The meeting today will be postponed until further notice. For now, just go back and make sure your families are safe,” I ordered, and the council members seemed to understand the gravity of the situation and nodded before leaving the room.“Haa… just what is going on?” I groaned and nodded at the guard who delivered the news.“Take me to his cell. Perhaps we might find some clues there.” The guard nodded and began leading the way, and I followed.We walked until we left the residential area of the territory and arrived in a place isolated from the rest of the pack.The guard opened the gates to a stone bui

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 34– She's gone! Victoria is gone!

    NATHAN'S POV“Search the grounds!”I wasted no time in yelling out, but no one moved. I could see that those around me were in shock at the sight in front of them. Although we wolves were used to a lot of harshness, the man in front of us looked almost unrecognizable. His skin looked tinted like his blood had been laced with something….Silver.No, that's not possible. No wolf would do that to their fellow wolf. But it might just be… I'll have to look into it later.“I said, search the grounds!” This time, I imbued authority into the command with my Alpha voice, and everyone snapped out of it. They got into action, running in different directions but in organized numbers of three.Beta Lewis walked up to me. “Alpha Nathan, I can't go with them. I have to make sure Victoria is safe.”“Go.” I nodded in understanding. He left, and I turned to some others to my left.“You two, with me,” I called out to Theon and one other guard.We were about to leave when the other guard called my attent

    NATHAN'S POVThe words didn't seem to compute in my brain, but I needed to calm down and sort things out one step at a time.“Lewis, calm down. What do you mean, she's gone?”Beta Lewis was still on edge, and I knew his mind was racing with possibilities of what could be happening to his daughter right now.“Beta Lewis!” That caught his attention, and he stopped pacing and pulling his hair. “Tell me what happened.”He took a deep breath to calm himself down. “I walked to the house, all intent on apologizing and making sure everything was okay with her. My angel. I can't believe she is gone.”“Lewis, I believe I meant what happened with her being gone. How are you so sure?”“Everywhere was scattered. The first thing I noticed was the door open, hanging by the hinges. Everything in the house was torn apart. That was when I picked up the pace and scoured the whole building, but I could not find her anywhere. But on the wood of the door was blood. I almost dismissed it, but something unfa

    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

    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

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 210 – …I would burn down the world to get it

    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

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 205 – Yeah, I call bullshit

    SOPHIA'S POVAs the speeches ended and the twins basked in the love everyone was showering them with, I took a moment to breathe. The party had gone smoother than I expected, despite the clear and obvious tension between Nathan and Lucas. But I knew that was only because they’d been kept busy with the kids and giving them gifts.Now, with the formalities over, I had work to do.I glanced over at Maria and Frank, who stood near the drink table, deep in conversation. Well, that was a good start. Frank was laughing at something Maria said, and she had that intrigued glint in her eyes. Still, I wasn’t about to leave things to chance.Grabbing a fresh plate of food, I made my way toward them, wearing my best innocent smile. “Hey, you two. Enjoying yourselves?”Frank wiped his hands on a napkin. “Your food is top notch, as always, Sophia.”Maria smirked. “Yeah, yeah, don’t think flattery will get you more free meals.”I laughed and casually glanced around. “You know, since you two are alre

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 204 – I hadn’t told Lucas that Nathan was coming

    SOPHIA'S POVThe kitchen was chaos personified.Cake batter smudged my cheek, frosting covered my fingers, and the sweet scent of vanilla and chocolate filled the air. The twins’ birthday was supposed to be a joyful, carefree day, but with the competition looming over me like a highly upset storm cloud, it was hard to not focus on the stress completely.I had spent the past week obsessing over menu plans, supplier issues, and last minute adjustments. I did not want to be caught lacking. But today, none of that mattered. Today was about Alex and Alexia. I owed them this.Kate nudged me with her elbow as she carefully arranged cupcakes on a tray. “You look like you’re planning world domination, not a birthday party.”I huffed out a laugh. “Same thing. I should write a book titled, ‘How to successfully plan world domination’ don't you think?”She smirked. “Slow your roll soldier. You sure inviting both of them is a good idea?”I stiffened. “They’ll deal with it.”Kate gave me a knowing l
