NATHAN'S POV

I looked back up at Malachi, and my knees buckled as I collapsed to the ground. Malachi grinned as he approached me and rested his hand on the handle of the knife.

“Sorry about that. Here, let me help,” he said and ripped it out, twisting it with every inch he pulled out.

I groaned as pain assaulted me, but I was too full of questions to bother.

What happened? As a werewolf and one ranked Alpha, even a stab would just weaken me slightly. The only thing capable of doing this was the nemesis of all werewolves.

“How is it? I had it specially made for you.” Malachi twirled the knife in his hands, and I hissed from my position below him.

“Silver. How are you able to hold it?” I croaked out as the burning in my chest slowly spread throughout my entire body.

“Who knows?” Malachi didn't give an answer and just smiled, stepping forward while waving the knife like it was his favorite toy.

“I see no need to tell you. But wait. You're a big bad Alpha, aren't you? Why don't you just g

    SOPHIA’S POVIf you’d told me even a month ago that I’d be waltzing into the opening of Le Jardin de fleur, the most buzzed about restaurant in the city, on the arm of Nathan Bennett, my mate, I would’ve laughed you straight out of my kitchen.Yet here we were. I chuckled softly. How things changed.It had been very last minute that the move to the pack had been postponed. The house wasn't quite there yet and it was simply a stroke of luck that Maria had called, with an invitation in hand and a friends/social outing in the other.And who was I not to jump at the opportunity? Anything to mingle in the culinary world and check out the friendly competition.So here we were, in the finest of outfits suitable for the event and a palpable excitement in our veins. We'd been looking forward to it from the moment we got the invite.The valet swung open the car door, and Nathan stepped out first — all clean lines, midnight suit, and the kind of quiet confidence that made heads turn. It was sex

    LUCAS’ POVFor a moment, I couldn’t move.Grace stood there in my doorway like some half forgotten dream – tousled hair, a storm in her eyes, voice still trembling from whatever courage brought her here, her auburn hair blowing in the wind. And I just… froze.Maybe it was the fear I’d say the wrong thing again. Or maybe it was the way her presence softened everything in me I’d spent a lifetime keeping sharp.“Grace, it meant everything.” I said again, softer this time, like the words themselves might scare her off.But she didn’t run.She stepped inside.I closed the door behind her, quietly. The lock clicked, the kind of small sound that marks the end of something and the beginning of something else.She didn’t sit. Didn’t move farther in. Just stood near the entryway, like she was still deciding whether she’d made a mistake.I cleared my throat. “Do you want a drink? Water?”Her eyes met mine. “No. I want honesty.”A beat passed and I nodded.“Okay.”She paced. Not angrily – nervous

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 303 – She tasted like red wine and defiance

    LUCAS’ POVThe bourbon was older than most of my regrets. But it burned the same.I let it sit in the glass for a long moment, untouched, the amber catching the low light of the penthouse. Outside the window, the city flickered like it was trying to outshine the quiet I couldn't drown.And in that silence, she lingered.Grace.Even her name was infuriatingly poetic. Grace – when she walked into a room, when she laughed at her own sarcasm, when she saw through me like I was made of glass.Which I was. With her, at least.And now?Now she was silence, too.Not the kind you welcome after a long day. The kind that keeps you awake, running through every word you shouldn’t have said, every one you should’ve.I dragged a hand through my hair, restless. Fuck. How did it get to this? How did I let it get to this? Damn it.I wasn’t good at this. Relationships. Feelings. Vulnerability. Whatever the hell this thing between us had become.I’d spent my life mastering control – over people, companie

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 302 — I didn’t know how badly I wanted something until I lost it

    GRACE'S POVThe day Sophia called…The mirror didn’t lie. Not tonight.Not when my makeup sat perfectly on my face, yet I couldn’t hide the storm behind my eyes. My lipstick was still fresh – some shade of deep wine I had no business wearing when my heart was running dry.I hadn’t heard from Lucas in five days.Not a text. Not a call. Not even one of his maddeningly vague voice notes. Nothing.Which would’ve been fine, if I hadn’t spent the days before that tangled up in him – literally, figuratively, and in every other way you could think of.And now?Now, he was just… gone.I sat on the edge of my couch, nursing a cup of reheated coffee I didn’t want, staring at my phone like it owed me answers.How had we gotten here?Just last week, he’d shown up at my door with Thai takeout and that stupid half smile, the one that made it hard to remember why I was always so guarded around him. It was the same night I had called Sophia, no response and Kate had said Daniel was at a function, and

  • Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!    Chapter 301 – Tomorrow, we go home

    SOPHIA'S POVThe morning air was crisp, the skies bright and sunny and laced with anticipation.The best type of morning if you ask me.Our apartment – our sanctuary these past few years – was buzzing with movement. Open boxes, half packed suitcases, bubble wrap, and the clumsy scurry of twin feet filled the space. Alex and Alexia were in their matching pajamas, diving in and out of their rooms with more enthusiasm than coordination.“Would you kids slow down, please?” I yelled and knew they would hear me. If nothing else, their werewolf hearing should have been activated.“Mommy! Do we have to pack the sea shells too?” Alexia called from her bedroom doorway, cradling a glass jar with the delicacy of a museum curator.“If they matter to you,” I said, taping the corner of a box shut. “Then yes, they come too.”She grinned and disappeared again.We weren’t moving permanently. Not yet. But the plan was to stay at Moonstone for a few weeks – enough time to let the twins adjust, enough tim

    NATHAN'S POVThe next day, the twins were nestled between us on the living room couch, wrapped in their favorite blankets with sleepy eyes and sticky fingers from the last of the cinnamon rolls. The cartoons had long since ended, but neither of them made a move to leave. They sensed something was coming – kids always did.I looked over at Sophia, her hand resting gently on Alexia’s curls. She gave me a small nod. It was time.“Okay,” I said softly, leaning forward so my elbows rested on my knees. “We wanted to talk to you about something important. Something... about who you are.”Alexia blinked slowly, eyes shifting from me to her mom. “Are we in trouble mummy?”Sophia smiled gently. “No, sweetheart. You’re not in trouble. Not at all. This isn’t bad news. It’s just... big news.”Alex, who’d been picking at the edge of his blanket, looked up. “Is this about why I was sick before? Or why I could fly in my dreams?”My heart pulled at his words, at the way his little voice held quiet wor
