Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna The Deal
*Ares's POV* The moment the door cracked open, her scent hit me like a punch to the gut. A wave of something—memories, anger, desire—crashed over me all at once. She was standing there in nothing but a silk robe, her hair wrapped up in a towel, eyes flashing with the kind of fire that had swore drawn me in and destroyed me all at once. I cleared my throat as I took a step further. Seeing her again felt like reopening an old wound, one that never healed properly, festering beneath the surface. Yet, I’d sought her out, walked straight into this room, knowing it would happen. I’d prepared myself for it—at least, I thought I had. “Well,well… what a pleasant surprise.The Alpha himself in my hotel room.”she said,her voice in a deadly calm,her hands sitting in a fold under her breasts.“Quite a scandal,don't you think?” I didn’t answer immediately. I let my eyes roam in the room she stayed in, taking it in. Every piece of furniture stood in effortless elegance as they blended into ea
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Another Scandal
*Selene's POV* “Pablo darling.”I said sweetly when he picked up the phone. A raspy smoke infested voice came from The end of the line. In between a croak and something that resembled happiness. “Selene,my favourite girl.” “Pablo, my favourite man.”I giggled back to fuel his ego. He was a mob leader who took care of shady business in my name with dreams and hopes that we will one day be in bed together. Poor hopes never came to fruition. “I missed you darling–you don't call me anymore.”He complained. That's because I don't need you anymore,I said internally but feigned sadness instead. “I'm so busy these days mi amor,if I had the time you would have grown bored of Me” I heard a gunshot in the background and frowned. “Are you occupied?”I asked,frowning. “Never too busy for you…”he replied with a laugh. “So when are you going to visit me–” “Soon.”I smiled,opening a notebook on my lap. “But I wanted a little favour from you.” “Hm.”He groaned unhappily. “I
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna A Secret Note
*Selene's POV* “Here are your favourite flowers.” I raised an eyebrow at the bouquet in Dominic's hands,it was a large bouquet of fresh hibiscus flowers. I ran my hands in it. “Lovely,but still not my favourite.” His face grew confused. “But Greta said–” As if on cue,Greta appeared from inside the house,wiping her wet hands on her apron. She nodded at the bouquet in his hands and took it from him. “I thought you said it was her favourite flower,”Dominic said through gritted teeth. “You must have misheard.”Greta says nonchalantly,even I could tell she was lying.She did this to everyone who attempted to date me,she shamelessly exploited them,and in this case she wanted fresh hibiscus flowers to make hibiscus tea. “What a coincidence though,”she tells him as she heads back into the house. “I have been searching for these since I came.” “She tricked me,didn't she?”he asked as the door closed behind her. “Yes,”I said a sigh. “Get ready for more of those.” Dominic l
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna The Secret Deal.
*Selene's POV* I discreetly slipped the note into my bra and got myself another drink. This seemed too suspicious to be true.My mind ran on thousands of explanatitions.How did he know I will be here? Why would he–a now wanted man even attend a Blossom Ball in the first place. I turned to face the room, and the group of elites and socialites continued chatting among themselves. Every now and then, the nosiest of the friend group will look my way and then continue talking. Dominic glances were more frequent,he was socialising with a couple of businessmen by the bar across the room.He looked like his conversation was boring him to death, and he was aching to be by my side again. Just as I was about to get myself another drink,a loud trumpet from the door pulled our attention. A herald dressed in deep purple walked deeper into the room and began in a loud authoritative voice. “Attention everyone,make way for our pack leaders,His Majesty Alpha Ares and Her Majesty Luna Noelle.”
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Her Little Slave
*Dominic's POV* I don't remember when the habit grew in me,but whenever I felt uneasy,my hands subconsciously went on my neck and readjusted my tie a little loose. Selene had disappeared a while ago and was yet to come. There was a dance performance going on at the moment,and even with that as distraction.I couldn't concentrate. “You are yet to begin construction of the new hotel.”a business partner said,bringing me back in the moment. “Sadly.”I began clearing my throat. “But the materials have arrived already.I intend to start soon.”I replied,only now remembering that I still had a hotel to build. Selene was the type of person to make you forget all your responsibilities. “If I didn't know you for your work ethics, I would say you were lagging behind.” “It's not the case, comrade,I've just been busy.” The man chuckled mirthlessly. “Of course. You've been very busy with the lady in black.” Lady in Black,Serpent of Seduction,Queen of the Night,everyone had a nickname
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Clearing Her Name.
*Selene POV* “And today we have with us in the studio,the single hottest topic in the papers,previously known as the woman every man wants and every woman wants to be,” This made me cock my head a little-Previously? “What happened now?”I blurted. The radio host looked at me,confused. “Excuse Me?” “When you were listing my credentials,you said previously,as though for some reason I had lost my status.” “Oh,”he chuckled,bringing his mouth closer to the microphone. “You see with all the mafia allegations flying around,it would be safe to say that you are known for…”he paused a while,desperately searching for a safe word in his head. “Crime?”I asked. “Is that the word that you're stuck on?” His face reddened. “Well,you are such a prestigious guest.I didn't want to offend you.” “The only offensive thing here is that you implied that I had lost my charm because of a few speculations. These things shouldn't be treated as plagues,if anything,it adds to my allure.I will g
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna The Search for the Journalist
*Ares's POV* “Cameron!”My mother yelled,and our butler hurried into the dining hall nervously. “Ma'am?You called for me?” “Yes,Cameron,take that radio and burn it.I never want to set eyes on it again.” Cameron nodded and obediently took the radio outside. Athena glanced my way with a concealed look of mirth in her eyes. “Why am I not surprised?Yolanda states digging her fork in her cinnamon roll. “That interview just further proves my point,she is a menace.” My mother took a deep breath and kissed her necklace of the moon goddess,praying reverently to it to calm herself. She exhales loudly and adjusts her grey hair to its normal state. “Sometimes,”she began, running her eyes around the table. “I forget I'm from a royal family,how did we come to this level of low? So low that a mere actress like Selene has the audacity to insult us on a public platform.” “Let's ban her…”Yolanda said immediately, “Cut off her life force from it's root.Never let her set foot in this territor
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Insanity or Love?
*Dominic's POV* I had a big statue of a Swan in my home office.I had gotten it from the auction and since it was the most expensive item there,I was sure Selene would love it.The only problem was,she wasn't picking up my call. I dialled her number again and pressed the phone to my ear.I got her answering machine again–she wasn't available. I cracked my knuckles,my frustration was slowly becoming unbearable–I needed to talk to her. Caleb came into the room with his briefcase dangling by his side.She glanced at the Swan statue momentarily before mentally dismissing it. “What are you doing here?”I asked him. He headed to the drawers and began to search through it. “I think I forgot some files here.”He wears his glasses and begins scanning each folder closely. “I have a meeting in an hour,I can't go without it.” I shrug and return my attention to my own troubles. “What are you doing here?”He asked this time. “Didn't you say you will begin work today?” “I rescheduled.”I replied

*Yolanda's POV* “Yes,my birthday is in a week.”I said with a smile as I busied myself running my fingers on the new silverwares I got for the occasion. “I don't think now is the right time to return to IronClaw.”the voice at the end of the line replied. “I heard your step daughter has returned.” “Oh please.”I scoffed. “Do you really think I'm going to stop my own birthday party just because she exists?.” “Yolanda…I still don't think coming there is a good idea.” My fingers found a tiny rust on one of the tea spoons and picked it up to examine it further.I had asked for the best of the best in everything. And here I was seeing rustic cutlery sitting on the table. If it were Silvia who asked,the servants would have made everything glistening for her. What importance does she even have? We are both mothers of the leaders of the pack and she gets treated far better than I ever did. I inhaled a sharp breath and returned my attention to my phone call. Important matters first. “Do
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Lies
Dominic's POV The hospital air was thick with the smell of disinfectant. I hated it—the sterile, cold atmosphere, the constant beeping of machines. It reminded me of–unpleasant times. I was gradually getting sick of pretending to be more injured than I was, tired of being here, stuck, slacking when I had work to do. It felt like a prison more than a place of healing. Tonight will be my last night. I had decided to announce That I could magically walk tomorrow and that would be it…I have already accomplished what I wanted here. I stared long and hard at myself,wondering if all I was doing was worth it,I had revealed my background,implied that my adopted family was to blame for the attack–which angered my brother greatly and got myself shot in the leg. All in a gamble of winning Selene and getting rid of Ares at the same time. This might be the first mission I'm invested in and the bitch didn't even care to come see me…I chuckled at myself. I had every woman at my beck and call
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Crazy Women
Ares' POV I spotted her immediately—Selene. She stood by the curb, arms crossed, her face set in that familiar look of irritation that I had grown almost fond of. Almost. I smirked as I killed the engine and stepped out of the car, my shoes crunching against the gravel. She didn't even bother with pleasantries. "Finally,I was beginning to think you intentionally wanted me to go to work lat." she snapped, her voice sharp as a knife. No hello. No patience. Classic Selene. I offered my hand for a mere unshakeable but was denied that too. I reached into my jacket and pulled out the file, holding it up just long enough for her to see before lowering it again. “It took a few extra minutes to make sure that the house and the very land it stands on is not only state property but yours too. It was a difficult document to process.” A small smile tugged at her lips. “Look at that,you are actually useful.” "You're in a hurry, aren't you?" I said casually, watching her eyes narrow i
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Back to Submission
"Why is your face scrunched?" Yolanda asked mockingly. "This could be your chance to right your wrongs."I scoffed and threw my hair behind my shoulder. "What are you two blabbing about this time?"“To be honest, I didn’t want to go this far. I know how much you adore this place,” Noelle began, circling me slowly like a predator. I'm almost impressed by this new found confidence she was exhibiting.Maybe it came from dressing up as me. “But you’re just so cocky and disrespectful, I had to teach you a lesson. See how funny life can be?” Noelle smiled, coming to a full stop in front of me. “Maybe if you had treated me nicer, we wouldn’t be here right now,would we?”“Aw,” I smirked. “Is this what this is about? Does my baby sister want an apology?”Noelle's smile vanished, and her gaze darkened.“Don’t call me that, you and I don’t share a drop of blood.”“Oh please, what do you know about your roots?” I asked, raising a brow. “Have you asked Yolanda who your real mother is yet? Or are yo
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Shifting the Narrative
*Dominic's POV* “Good morning. "I exclaimed in excitement as the nurse pushed my chair forward. “Dominic?”Caleb asks,coming to a full stop,as if he doesn't really believe it's me he is seeing. “Caleb?”I return in the same tone. Caleb shakes his head and asks the nurse for privacy. The nurse looks down at me for approval, and I nod slowly,still keeping my eye on Caleb. “You don't know how glad I am to see you here.”I began when the nurse was out of ear shot. “I was beginning to think no one cares about my well-being.” “Were you really shot?”Caleb asks instantly. I stare down at my legs to make sure,he seemed so in disbelief that I had to make sure the last nine hours were reality and sure enough I could still see the bandage wrapped around my leg. “Do you not see this?”I asked,pointing at my injured leg. “What more proof do you need?” “Tell me the truth,were you shot last night?”Caleb pressed. “Just be honest for once.” As if that noble virtue has ever gotten me anyw
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna The buyer
*Selene's POV* *Next Day* “Where did you get that?”I asked, snatching the paper from her hand. The flyer showed an announcement of the complete demolition and renovation of Olive Grown District. My father's house was at the heart of the district, and what was worse was that it was going to be turned into a landfill. “I found it plastered on a street sign on my way here,”Greta stated. “They are all over the city.” I folded the paper and threw it out the window in a fit of anger.What on earth was it going on? Who was doing this? Not only did the price of the house go up by twice its worth but now it was not going to be demolished. Now, not only do I have to pay a ridiculous amount for what was originally mine.. I also have to fight to keep the place from being broken and run down. I fell to the chair and pressed on my temples,trying to evoke calm,serenity or anything remotely different from the panic I was feeling. Was it Ares–no? Why would he? “I know how much you wanted
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna A Tragedy
Selene’s POVWho does he think he is, bossing and carrying me around like I’m some fragile doll? I didn't need his protection before, and I certainly don't need it now. My heart drummed in my chest,I'm not sure if it was the sound of the guns or his touch. I stood by the door for a second longer, my pride demanding I delay entering the room. I wasn't following his orders—no, I was just making sure that I was safe. Still, the memory of his fingers pressing into my shoulders lingered, warm and possessive. I forced a deep breath, squared my shoulders, and pushed the door open, stepping into the cold, mechanical room.The door clicked shut behind me, the darkness swallowing me whole. A gust of icy air swept across my skin, a stark contrast to the heat I'd just escaped. My instincts were screaming—someone else was here.Suddenly, a voice pierced the silence."You must be the infamous Selene Foxx."The sound nearly jolted me out of my skin. I whirled around, only to see a single, dim ligh
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna New Suspect?
*Ares’ POV* Dominic must have figured out where the journalists were,that was the only explanation. And it's at the right timing too,just after the journalists agreed to confess in court,,he rents out the event hall right in front of the warehouse where I'm keeping them and invited me. I don't know what his plan is with that move but moving so hastily means he is nervous, and that's exactly what I want. “Do you think the security we put is enough?”Elais asked,adjusting his cufflinks. “Yes.”I replied curtly. “What If we walk into his trap?” I sighed thoughtfully. “He doesn't have the guts to pull anything in front of hundreds of people.” “If you are so sure he is Saint Locke,I don't think any amount of people will stop him.” I turn to look at Elais in the face. “Stop being so pessimistic. Let's just follow the plan, and everything will turn out fine.” I glanced at my watch and pushed my hand in my pocket. “It's time.” I step into the event hall, the atmosphere buzzing wi
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna The Dream Couple
*Dominic's POV* I repositioned the location of the small wooden fountain on the demo scale and analysed it carefully. I couldn't quite decide if I wanted the fountain at the front of the hotel or at the back along with the pond. Perhaps a fountain at the front would be too much if I decide to go along with the statue of Selene. I am more than proud to say I am actually going somewhere in the construction. This might just be a charade to keep suspicious eyes off my back, but I genuinely enjoy it–building,creating a whole new world from the ground up. It does a strange thing to your ego when it's completed,experts will say the pride inflates it, but I like to use better terms. “You are absolutely ridiculous. What if she finds out that you lied,”Caleb complained, pacing around the office. I almost forgot he was still here. At this point, I just used him as background noise to focus better. “I already did a favour for you once.I refuse to partake in this lie, too.” Caleb has gott
