Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Ares' Man Hunt
*Ares POV* Three knocks came in,waking me up from my sleep. My eyes flashed open and was almost momentarily blinded by the light from the television that I had left on.I had fallen asleep watching Selene again. Her laugh bubbled from behind the scene,her siren eyes curling at the ends as she smiled. I groaned and roamed the bed for the remote,another annoying knock banged at the door before I could find it. “In a minute.”I grumbled loudly before switching the TV off. I took a second or two to try to process my thoughts, but in subtle fear of hearing another nerve-racking knock,I pulled myself up to get the door,staggering half the way,still half asleep “Noelle?”I asked,raising an eyebrow as I pulled the door open. “Oh,you were asleep already?”she asked apologetically. I rubbed my eyeballs for clarity. “What are you doing here?” “You called for me.”she said,then soon realised my mind was far away and volunteered to explain further. “This morning at breakfast–you said
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Crazy Men
*Ares’ POV* Dominic's eyebrows raised and he rubbed his jaw calculatedly. “It seems like I'm at the center of all your investigations these days, Alpha,should I be worried?” I sardonic breath escaped me,my fingers tracing on his redwood desk.“How is the hotel coming along?” Dominic exhaled deeply and ran His hand in his hair. “There have been some delays,but I'm hoping to get back on track soon.” “Hm.”I said thoughtfully. It was beginning to get evidently clear that this man's first priority Was not the hotel. It won't take a seer to tell he was madly in love with Selene. The mere thought of it felt like liquid lava burning my veins to ash,but I felt there was something way more to his stay here–something I'm going to have to figure out soon. I keep telling myself I will directly deal with the situation between he and Selene later,that I was sane enough to set a checkpoint to when I needed to stop obsessing. But staring at this fuckers face,this Incompetent two faced moss eyed
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Black Mail
*Yolanda's POV* “This is ridiculous.”I muttered walking to the ex luna’s door.If anyone can talk sense into her son,it's definitely her.I will not sit and watch the life I suffered to build crumble to the ground all because of six million,the Alpha is selfish,he is worth way more than that,this isnt half of what a settlement fee from him should look like-especially since Noelle is his Luna.I will not accept crumbs. “I simply cannot.”I muttered fervently squeezing unto the paper in my hand. A couple of maid watched me talk to myself as I walked past them. “What are you looking at?”I raged at them and they quickly returned to their tasks,a bunch of useless miscreants. Loyal as dogs,If only their gossips ever helped anybody around here. I knocked on the massage door and waited patiently to be allowed in. This is what I meant by how selfish the Alpha was,the main palace had four different sectors for each member of the Alpha family–of course instead of letting me live her,he sent
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna A suprise Visit
*Selene's POV* I added another shade of red on my lips and patted the stick a few times on my cheek for a lick of blush. I closed the compact mirror shut and rubbed my lips together to even out the colour. I begin my rehearsals today,which meant more work and very little time to entertain Dominic and Ares’ nonsense. I had to tell myself to focus. My job was the most important thing to me….that was a lie,my revenge was the most important thing. I had to have my revenge on those who wronged me and get justice for my father,but with how corrupt the world is, I couldn't properly do so if I lost my status and fame,that is why my job matters so much. My gaze went to my fingers,the touch of gold jewellery against my olive skin made a fine match, and my ice blue dress complimented the look entirely. The only thing I didn't like on me was the big glaring red ruby ring on my finger. It felt odd and heavy,like a chain holding me back. I toyed with the ring with a frown,wondering if I shoul
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna The Sister War
*Selene's POV* “Hello Sister.”She smiled widely,displaying a set of pearly white teeth. “What are you doing here?”I questioned,grasping the chair for support from my shock. Noelle walked further into the room, clutching her diamond studded purse as if in fear it would somehow get snatched from her. “I was afraid we wouldn't recognise each other,but you are just like before.” I narrowed my eyes at her as she continued blabbing,Noelle had the habit of not knowing when to stop talking when she was around me. “But with bolder colours,and I think darker hair–did you dye it?” “What are you doing here?”I snapped,my voice turning unwelcoming. “We are sisters, Selene.”She said, her eyes darting around my dressing room in curiosity.“Are you saying I can't even see you?” I rolled my eyes and turned to face myself in the mirror. Seeing us so different in the mirror moved me a bit,she was snow white with short white hair,blue doe eyes, baby pink lipstick and white gown.And I was t
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Suspicions
*Yolanda's POV* “And Where have you been?”I asked Noelle. “I have been looking for you all day..” “I went out..”she replied lazily as she walked into the living room.Her face was pale.Her eyes widened and entire demaneor shaken. “Out where?”I pressed. She collapses in a chair and begins to breathe heavily. I cup her face in my hands as a small pang of worry hit me.I never seen Noelle this distraught. “What's bothering you?” “I went to see Selene.”She confessed and I removed my hand from under her chin aggressively. “What?!” “I wanted us to have a productive conversation about Ares,to avoid a blood bath between you two.Some sort of peace treaty,she rejected it.I even begged her.” “Do you want to humiliate me? Who are you to say to declare that I want a peace treaty,now she is going to think we are desperate and at her mercy.” “But I am desperate mother.I want to resolve this as quickly as I can so Ares can–” “You are acting out with emotions Noelle,that will ruin you.” “Are
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna It's all for Her
*Ares’ POV* Mine,mine,mine! My senses were alert,my heart was grieving,she was so close and still so far.My soul cried out her name,begging her to pity me and throw me even a hint of assurance to show my mate was still there.That I wasn't delusional,that she felt it.I stared at my reflection in the pool,thinking of how pathetic it would sound to her if we were still mindlinked. “Do you really think she will do it?”I heard The chilled, addictive voice behind me.She sounded like a glass rosé,soft,pink and intoxicating.I could listen to her talk for ages and still be mesmerised every single time she opened her mouth.I said a quick prayer for my soul and slowly turned to see her.But she wasn't looking in my eyes,The glazed over mine but it never locked,never connected. A soft wind blew her evening gown a bit too roughly,promising to reveal more than just her Barr thigh if I looked a bit longer. I took a large sip of my gin to suppress my urges,the last thing I wanted to do was
Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Prove Loyalty
*Elias POV* I pushed the door open and was immediately startled by the faces of the elder Miss Sinclair and Yolanda staring at me with horrified expressions. If I had a bad memory,I would Have believed I had committed a crime and they were gaping at the blood on my hands. “Is everything alright?”I questioned. Yolanda scoffed. “Is everything alright? You barge into an office without even knocking and instead of having the decency to apologise?” I clench my jaw and stare into her enraged face.I never liked her and it's like she keeps adding reasons to keep things that way. I summon tolerance from all parts of my body and slowly walk forward with the file Ares asked me to give to his mother. “It's about the gold trade,Ares wants you to review the products.”Yolanda reaches for it but I sway it out of her grasp and gives it to Silvia. I catch Silvia glaring at Yolanda from the corner of her eye but I ignore it and give her the details about the purchase.“Is he usually like this?”Yo

Alpha's Regret :Reclaiming His Rejected Luna Insanity
*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
