Valen strode into his study with Dorian following closely behind, his expression as sharp and unreadable as ever. Inside, Scottie sat perched on the edge of one of the armchairs, waiting for them. She stood as soon as they entered, her eyes scanning their faces for answers.Scottie's eyes met Valen’s as he entered, but she said nothing. Instead, she glanced over at Dorian, silently urging him to speak.The tension in the room was palpable as the door shut behind them. Valen walked over to his desk, running his fingers along the edge, the silence stretching thin. "What did the council say?" Scottie finally asked, breaking the quiet.“Nothing we didn’t already know,” Valen replied curtly, taking a seat behind his desk. His tone held an edge that silenced any further questioning. He turned his attention to Dorian. “Speak freely. I know you’ve been holding something back.”Dorian hesitated, his shoulders stiffening. He glanced at Scottie before lowering his gaze to the floor, bowing slig

Ella found herself walking through a breathtaking garden, unlike anything she had ever seen. The air was cool and crisp, filled with the faint scent of blooming flowers. Vibrant blossoms of every color stretched across the horizon, their petals glowing softly under a silver light that seemed to emanate from the sky. A narrow river, its waters sparkling as if infused with tiny diamonds, flowed gently through the garden, creating a soothing melody. The moon hung low in the sky, larger and brighter than Ella had ever seen, casting an ethereal glow over everything. The air smelled of jasmine and lavender, a calming scent that filled her lungs with each breath.She paused, taking in the serene beauty. The peace here felt divine, yet something shifted—a shadow moved across the garden. Ella’s gaze lifted, and her breath caught in her throat as she saw a figure emerge from the light.The woman before her was beyond beautiful that Ella couldn't look away, her features flawless and glowing with

“Let’s go out for a walk,” Valen suggested, his voice gentle yet firm after making sure Ella had calmed down.“I guess that’s what I need now,” Ella replied, her voice still slightly shaky but eager for a distraction.Valen smiled faintly, relieved she agreed. “I’d love to experience your speed,” Ella added, looking up at him with curiosity.If only she knew the effect her smile had on him, especially those expressive eyes. Valen swallowed hard, trying to hold on to the last bit of control he had.“Alright,” he said with a grin. “Though I’d have loved to race with you in your wolf form.”At the mention of her wolf, Ella’s smile faded, and she looked downcast. Valen cursed himself silently. He had been told she lost her wolf before coming here—how foolish of him to bring it up now.“I’m sorry,” he said quickly. “I shouldn’t have mentioned that.”“No, it’s okay,” Ella replied softly. “I’m sure you must have heard I lost my wolf before being brought here.”Her voice was steady, but Vale

“Ella,” he began, his voice strained, but she silenced him with a finger to his lips.“It’s okay, Valen,” she whispered, her eyes locking with his.His resolve wavered. She was so close, her scent intoxicating, her lips so inviting. Every instinct in him screamed to close the distance, to claim her.But Valen clenched his fists, forcing himself to step back. Not here. “We should go,” he said, his voice thick with restraint.Ella nodded, her cheeks flushed. She didn’t trust herself to speak, not with the way her heart was racing and her body was reacting.As they left the club, Ella couldn’t help but glance back. The experience had been thrilling, intoxicating, and a little overwhelming. But more than anything, it had brought her closer to Valen, and she couldn’t deny the bond growing between them.***As they reached the towering gates of Valen’s manor, the sight waiting for them made Ella’s steps falter. A striking woman stood in the courtyard, her long dark hair cascading over her s

Valen stood on the balcony of his study, staring into the endless night. The crisp air did little to cool the storm brewing within him. The confrontation with Morgana played on a loop in his mind, but it was Ella’s silence after walking away that truly unsettled him.“She walked away…” he murmured to himself, gripping the edge of the railing. Ella, the only person who had ever made him feel alive again, was slipping through his fingers because of the very secrets he fought to bury.The door creaked open, and Valen didn’t need to turn to know who it was.“You look like hell,” Lucian said, his voice laced with sarcasm but tinged with concern.“Not in the mood for jokes,” Valen replied, his tone colder than the night air.Lucian ignored the warning, stepping closer. “You know, when I heard Morgana was back, I thought you’d finally snap and put her in her place. Instead, you let her run her mouth in front of Ella. Brilliant move, really.”Valen’s jaw tightened. “I wasn’t going to argue wi

Ella sat on the edge of her bed, her thoughts racing. The encounter with Morgana earlier had left her unsettled. The woman spoke in riddles, her words carrying a weight Ella couldn’t ignore. And Valen—he hadn’t said a word. He's avoiding her questions, hiding behind a wall she couldn’t break.“What is he keeping from me?” she muttered under her breath.After pacing for what felt like an eternity, she decided she couldn’t let this go. If Valen wouldn’t talk, maybe Scottie, his sister, could. Scottie had always been friendly, even warm. Surely, she’d help.Ella found Scottie in the garden, pruning the roses with care. The younger woman’s vibrant smile lit up the space, but it faltered slightly when she saw Ella approaching.“Ella!” Scottie greeted, her voice cheerful but with a hint of nervousness. “What brings you here?”“I need to talk,” Ella said, her tone serious.Scottie set down the shears, wiping her hands on a cloth. “Of course. What’s on your mind?”Ella hesitated, unsure how t

The dimly lit corridors of the manor echoed with Valen’s steady footsteps. Days had passed since his last talk with Lucian, and though he tried to focus on his duties, Ella had been on his mind constantly. She had been avoiding him, and he couldn’t blame her. He hadn’t been forthcoming with answers, and now her frustration hung heavily between them.The affairs of the clan had kept him busy. The destruction of the Southern Clan had put all the other lords on edge, with alliances wavering and tensions high. Every small decision seemed to demand his attention, and the council meetings were endless. Now, finally, he had a moment of peace. A brief respite. He decided it was time to speak to Ella.Valen knocked gently on Ella’s door. After a moment of hesitation, she opened it. Her expression was guarded, her eyes searching his face for something.“Valen,” she said, her voice cool but polite. “What brings you here?”“We need to talk,” he replied. “May I come in?”Ella hesitated for a momen

Ella’s POVElla leaned against the doorframe of her room, her thoughts scattered. The idea of escaping still flickered in her mind, but something deep within her wouldn’t let her act. She stopped abruptly, her chest tightening as Lila’s voice rang clear in her mind. “Ella, what do you think you’re doing?”Ella straightened, her hand gripping the door. "I’m leaving, Lila. I can’t stay here. This place… Valen… It’s all too much. Everyone has their secrets, and I’m tired of being left in the dark.”“Leaving? And go where?” Lila asked, her tone firm. “Do you even know where you are? Do you know the dangers out there?”"I’ll figure it out," Ella replied, her voice soft but determined.“No, you won’t.” Lila’s voice cut through her thoughts. “Ella, don’t forget what the Moon Goddess said. My recovery depends on him. On Valen.”Ella froze, her heart skipping a beat. "What do you mean?”“Haven’t you noticed? The closer you are to Valen, the stronger I feel. But these past few days, when you’v

The scent of something sweet permeated the air. Derek stood and inhaled, wondering what it was. It was not the scent of his mate and neither was it the fragrance of one of her many beauty products."Why does your bedroom smell urm... Nice?" He asked her. Ella whirled around immediately to look at him. She wondered if he had noticed already."I…" she began to explain in a guilty stammer, her voice trembling, as she moved away from Valen who was holding her. Oh shit! She knew they were smart. This might turn out to be a wrong idea after all.She stared at them through the thick curtains of her lashes, not knowing how to respond. Alpha Derek gulped hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. For some reason, the very scene made him shiver in pleasure. It was the same for Valen as well. They both suddenly felt drawn toward her in an unusual way.She has to distract them. Breathing heavily, Ella stepped backwards. Valen unconsciously followed her, while Alpha Derek had to take a deep br
Alpha's Regret: My Rejected Mate Is A Healer Chapter 111: Ella's POV
The night was young and the silver moon was high up in the eerie sky. Ella stood outside for a long time, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, wondering what would happen next. Drake had told her what to do, but she wondered if it was the right thing. She sighed as she turned quickly away from the balcony and went directly into her bedroom. She opened the cupboard, her fingers trembling slightly as she brought out a wrapped package, remembering the instructions from Drake. Her grip tightened momentarily around the package as she bit her lips.She kept the wrapped package aside and reached for a bean sized flowered satchel. She opened it and took out a round yellow pill. Studying it briefly, she placed it on her tongue and allowed it to melt. It tasted like sea salt and spicy curry.The pill caused her to feel dizzy for a moment, making her stagger backwards, she hurriedly gripped the wood of the cupboard for support, waiting for the spinning to stop. Slowly, the effect wore off

Sebastian sat on a round table. By his side was Sandra, Alpha Kelvin, and other fallen powerful leaders from different clans and tribes.Sebastian isn't one to waste time.Sebastian had carefully selected each individual—a collection of those he feels have a devious heart like his, people that can go through any length just to achieve what they want, those that care solely about themselves and most of all, those that are filled with hatred and revenge.“Thank you all for honoring my invitation” Sebastian said, lifting a wine glass to his lips as his eyes moved and scanned everyone seated.Their eyes held hatred, their souls burned with a desire to reclaim what had been taken from them.They all followed suit and lifted their wine glasses.Alpha Kelvin leaned forward, his eyes narrowing. “So, we have all seen your plans and it's really not an easy one but I love it because it suits exactly to what I have in mind when my pack was destroyed and forcefully taken away from me, leaving me w

“Ella please can I speak to you privately?” Drake whispered to Ella, his tone low and pleading, his eyes looking desperate Ella nodded, stealing a glance at Derek and Valen, despite their intense gazes,she still led Drake to her room.Derek couldn't control his anger anymore, he stood up abruptly to follow, but Valen grabbed his hand, shaking his head to discourage him.Derek turned his frustration to Valen. “How could you be so calm? We don't even know that guys identity, we can't just leave him alone with her, we don't know his motives”Valen sighed. “I asked Dorian to confirm his identity and everything he said”“So?” Derek asked impatiently.“Everything he said checked out”Derek was momentarily stunned, he slowly sat down. “You are trying to tell me that guy is truly her brother?”“Possibly,” Valen said, shrugging.“Possibly?” Derek asked confused, running his hands through his hair in frustration “This wasn't a deep investigation, we need more time to know if he's actually her
Alpha's Regret: My Rejected Mate Is A Healer Chapter 108: Investigate
Derek and Valen exchanged glances. Their murderous aura dissipated but the trace of disbelief and doubt was still in their eyes.They stared at Ella and Drake, back and forth, trying to see how it's even possible.“Aside from his hair color and eyes, he looks nothing like you” Derek blurted out, unable to contain his anger seeing Ella defend a stranger that way.A flash of irritation crossed across Ella's face. “And isn't that enough to prove he's my brother!?” Ella snapped, still protecting Drake.Derek's jaw clenched. “No!”Ella's eyes widened in anger, she was about to retort when Valen stepped in.He exhaled deeply, his voice calmer than Derek's, he knew something was wrong with Ella, but he couldn't place what it was. He arched his brow as he watched her closely.“You say he's your brother Ella?”“Yes Valen, I just found my long-lost brother. You should be happy for me shouldn't you?” Ella responded Derek scoffed loudly. “As if”Valen's eyes traveled to the young man standing be

“My brother?” Ella asked puzzled Her mind spuned as she tries to process the information. How's it possible she just found out about having another family and all of a sudden, a brother is here to see her? Do things work that fast? Did he also just find out about her too?A lot of thoughts ran through her mind as she stood there stunned.“Are you okay?” Dorian's voice brought her back to reality “Where's he?” She asked, her voice sharp with urgency.“He's here at the manor” Dorian said, pointing towards the hallway.Without waiting for him to say any other thing, she ran past him into the great hall.She stopped abruptly in her tracks when she saw him. There,at the center of the room, standing tall, was a handsome young man with brown hair and eyes just like hers.Her breath caught in her throat and her heart hammered loudly against her chest, she could hear it as she walked towards him.As she takes a step closer, he also takes a step closer to her as if he couldn't believe she was

As Ella exited the room, she found some stationed guards by her door and immediately they saw her leaving they followed from a safe distance. She doesn't like this arrangement but she knows it's for her own safety.She headed for the garden, aside from her room which was currently occupied by Derek and Valen, the garden is the next place she sees as her safe Zone.She needed space, she needed to think. A lot has been happening and a lot will still happen. Her feelings for Derek and Valen are still not sorted out and now she just learnt she had a family somewhere she doesn't know about.“You know you can always speak to me, I'm here” Lila said, jolting Ella from her thoughts.“You scared me Lila…don't ever do this again” Ella said softly “Do what? How else was I supposed to remind you I'm within you? I can hear your thoughts too and I can feel how troubled you are. This isn't your battle to fight alone, you can't bottle all of that emotions up “ Lila said.Ella sighed, sinking into a

Ella looked up to see the questioning gaze of both Derek and ValenShe took a deep breath, looking down at her hands on her laps.“Sandra mentioned… that I'm not related to their family in any way” she finally said, her voice quiet but steady.Derek exhaled as he took his seat. “Why am I not surprised?” he muttered, rubbing his temple.“Did she tell you anything about your biological parents?” Valen asked softly.Ella shook her head. “She didn't. Said something about her father dropping me off with her mother and asking her to run away with me and Sandra and to keep me safe”Silence fell in the room as everyone was lost in their own thoughts.Ella swallowed, forcing a bitter smile “Now I know she's not my biological mother, I can actually understand why she treated me like trash all these years. I guess… she blames me for the death of her husband” Ella said.Derek leaned forward, taking her hands in his. His grip was firm, reassuring. “No one should be comfortable with being treated l
Alpha's Regret: My Rejected Mate Is A Healer Chapter 104: They Will Both Pay
Ella stood in the middle of a battlefield, the field was more like a blood-bath. The stench of blood and death filled the air. This wasn't a regular war; both werewolves and vampires teamed up to fight against a voracious beast and his merciless allies.But the more they fought, the more the beast was gaining ground. More vampires and werewolves dropped to the ground. Ella felt helpless as she watched in horror as the battle turned into a massacre.Suddenly there was a loud scream. Her body froze. Her breath ceased, her chest tightened and her eyes widened as she turned to see the claws of one of the beast's allies deeply embedded in the heart of Derek.Time seemed to stop.Her voice seemed lost as she tried to scream.Immediately a shadow fell above her, she raised her eyes to see the beast. His eyes were black like the abyss, his size bigger than anything she had ever seen, his hair was long and his face was very scary. The shocking thing was that there was not a single scratch o
