Alpha's Regret 024
“Did I not tell you all eyes would be on you tonight? “ Jane whispered into her ears. Stephanie gave her a quick smile, trying hard to remain focused as butterflies filled her stomach. The venue for the event was already filled with guests all looking elegant and sophisticated. The ambiance in the hall was that of wealth and power, and Stephanie for the umpteenth time wondered why she was there, such glamor was surely not her cup of tea.However, as soon as they both entered she could feel eyes on her and they were not hostile at all. After dressing this morning and looking at herself in the mirror, she could not help but admire what she saw. Her makeup was not heavy but light and simple, her dress hugged her at the right places accentuating her curves. She paired it off with the diamond studs Jane had given to her. The red pumps she wore made her look more slender and sleek, truth be told, for the first time in a long while she felt beautiful.However, seeing how all eyes were on h

“This is her picture, I want you to get me every detail about her. Who she is, her past and future. Her past life should be given more priority. Be thorough and discreet, I don't want anyone to find out that I have an interest in her. It could put her in danger. “Is there a special reason you want her investigated,” Alex asked his boss. He was a private detective after retiring from the FBI and since then he has worked as a private detective for hire at a very high rate. His clients were mostly rich men who wanted to know about their competitors. He also worked for wives trying to discover if their husbands were cheating. For the right price, you will get his service and he always delivers. However, Alex ensured to work for those not wanted by the law or needed information on someone they intended to kill. His favorite client was Mr. Hank Williams, he was precise with his job offers and paid up immediately after he delivered his job. However, he is taken aback by the job he wa

She had a feeling of being followed but each time she turned around quickly when the eyes felt intense she saw no one. It happened for days and suddenly stopped.Stephanie worried, the thought of Alpha Damien spying on her got her nerves all reeled up and made her panic. The fear of losing her child was worse than losing her own life.She told Dr.Zita of her feelings and she promised to look into it, but before she could start, Stephanie informed her that she was sure the person watching her had stopped since she was not having the feeling of being watched anymore.They both concluded on hiring security in case whoever it was showed up again. This time they would be prepared enough to counter whatever he was planning against her.Meanwhile, some miles away from them, Mr Hanks had all the information he needed about her on his office table, Inspector Alex had delivered as promised. He was thorough and discreet which pleased Mr. Hanks more, at first he had been worried it would be diffi

Stephanie was surprised at Dr. Zita's statement. First, she asked her if she knew a person and at the same time suggested that she meet him even when she confirmed not knowing who she was asking her about. The urgency at which Dr.Zita spoke struck her as odd.“Who is this man you speak of and why am I supposed to meet him?” Stephanie stared at her in confusion.“It's a long story, a very long one at that and you are a part of this story too.” “I don't understand. Okay, let's start from the beginning, who is Mr. Hank.” Dr Zita lets out a deep breath “He is a well-known industrialist, his business spreads across the world and also he is a good human.”Stephanie shrugged at her words. “You know it's strange, a man called me this afternoon, claimed he was a lawyer for Mr Hanks and it was a matter of urgency that I make time to see him” “Really. I am not aware of this, what did you tell him?” Dr? Zita enquired.“I shouted at him and cut the call. I was sure he was from Alpha Damien, he

Stephanie sat frozen for what seemed like hours. She had never known who her mother was nor had anyone mentioned her before. Yet this stranger whom she was just meeting for the first time tells her that she looks like her mother.“Who are you and..and how do you know I look like my mother? I don't even know who she is.” She asked, looking at Mr.Hanks as if he had lost his mind. “If I am correct then you look like the person I believe gave birth to you 26 years ago. I am not 100 percent sure but I hope to prove my claim.”Stephanie smirked even though her heart was beating wildly. She quashed the feeling of hope that threatened to surge within her. “You don't even know who I am, yet you claim to know who birthed me.”“You are right, I don't know you, though I have been searching for years for you, that is if you are who I think you are. For years I searched but got nothing, I felt hopeless until I saw you at the party the other day with that lady. Her name is Jane if I am not mistaken

As he retold his story his emotions conflicted. He tried to remain calm especially as he got to the birth part when things started to turn around.He recalled how Maya had told him someone in the pack had told her she might be expecting. She had doubted it but she knew she had made love without protection and also the person that told her was an old wise woman in the pack where she came from. The woman informed Maya that she perceived the scent of another human around her and that only happened when someone was expecting.Mr Hank recalled how he felt, he had been overjoyed and afraid at the same time. He loved Maya deeply and starting a family with her was something he wanted. However, Maya had doubts, he was human and she had yet to convince her people.After a home test which confirmed that she was pregnant, Maya told him that she had to inform her parents and the Alpha of her pack, and also tell him that the father was human.When the Alpha was told he and his council were furious

Stephanie listened as Mr Hank narrated his story. She did not know how to feel, or what to expect. She refused to contemplate on the thought surging within her of what possibility existed between them, she would wait for Mr. Hanks to conclude. From his story, she could feel his pain and the love he had for the woman Maya, the woman he claimed could be her mother, which meant he might be ...she fought within not to conclude by herself. It was Mr. Hank's story and his past. The outcome of their findings would lead to the next step of figuring out the future. For now, she would listen and wait.“I am sorry for stopping halfway through the story, it's just that it's been a long time since I revisited this incident and you are the first people I am narrating it to.”“You mean your family is in the dark about this,” Stephanie asked“Yes, there was no need to tell them earlier because I could not find my child.” Mr Hanks replied.“And what if you found her?.” Stephanie enquired.“I would in

“In my grief, I had forgotten that others around me might be suffering too. Imagine the shock I felt when Mr. King told me about his father's demise. Before Maya's death, he had informed us that his father's health had deteriorated but he was hopeful he would get well soon. I had completely forgotten about him until King informed me he died. He insisted that he was okay but his duty to his pack trumped every other situation happening around him. He gave me only a few hours to decide what to do with Annie. I told him not to worry about us and that I would manage on my own and thanked him for all he had done already.”“The Mr. King you talk of, do you know the name of his pack and…and do you know if he still lives.” Stephanie interrupted“I am human and know little about packs and their names, and when I met King I was overwhelmed with all my problems and did not get to know him more on a personal level. But I am one hundred percent sure he was Alpha of his pack.” Mr Hank replied.“Do y

Alpha's Regret 207
Four years had passed since Stephanie became Luna. In that time, the sorceress' Prophecy about the Eclipse pack had come to pass as the pack had not only flourished but had become the largest and most formidable pack in the entire territory. The transformation was felt in every corner of their land, and a sense of security and pride filled each member.Under Alpha Damien and Luna Stephanie’s leadership, they had found peace and prosperity. Damien’s once arrogant and foreboding feature had become warm and inclusive, embodying the unity of the moon goddess. Stephanie, who once questioned her place in the pack, was now a revered Luna, trusted and respected by all. She carried an undeniable strength, one that had seen her through some of the darkest times and now anchored her family and pack.*********On a cold morning, Damien gathered everyone in the central grounds of the pack community. Standing beside Stephanie, he addressed his pack."Today, I have wonderful news to share," Damien b

“Hey, your break’s over. We need someone clearing tables. Stop lounging around and get back to work,” he snapped, his words cutting through.Hank’s eyes widened, the shock unmistakable as he turned his look back to Cassandra. “Cassandra… you work here?”Cassandra’s shoulders slumped, her eyes dropping to her hands as shame washed over her. “Yes,” she murmured, voice barely audible. “This is my job now, Hank.”Hank’s face softened, his shock giving way to a profound sadness as he took in her worn appearance. He reached out, resting a gentle hand on her arm. “What… what happened to you, Cassandra?”Cassandra took a shaky breath, her voice filled with shame and regret as memories rushed back, memories of the choices she had made, the paths she had chosen, and the arrogance that had blinded her. “I trusted someone,” she began, voice breaking. “A younger man. He made me feel… seen again, like I mattered. But he took everything I had and left. I lost my home, my status… everything.” Her vo

Damien stood on the edge of the field overlooking the lush greenery of parts of the pack territory. He glanced around at the pack members beginning their morning routines and took a deep breath, his mind elsewhere. It was Hank's invitation that lingered in his thoughts—a trip to South Africa, a vacation that had taken on a life of its own in his mind, fueled by encouragement from Stephanie and the children.“I think you should go," Chris had told him one evening, sensing Damien's hesitation. "You've been carrying this pack for years, barely taking a moment for yourself. Let me handle things here for a little while. I owe you that much—and more."Damien had turned to his beta, touched by Chris's words. "Chris, you know since after the whole ordeal we have faced, I planned on never stepping out of the pack for years to come”Chris gave a light chuckle, patting Damien's shoulder with a brotherly confidence. "Damien, with respect, you need to go. Not only for you, but for Stephanie and t

The night had quieted down slightly as the guests had left, but the heart of the pack remained. Under the glow of the moonlight, laughter and music filled the air, while the remaining pack members continued to dance and celebrate. Stephanie and Damien stood together, watching Caleb and Kayla play with the other children, their faces glowing with happiness.Suddenly, Chris approached, his arm around Zita, both of them laughing softly. “Alpha,” Chris began. “Zita and I have been talking, and we… We'd love to exchange our vows and officially become mates tonight, with all of you here to witness it. It feels right on a night like this.”Damien’s face lit up with surprise, then softened with a deep warmth. “Chris, I can’t think of a better moment. No one deserves this more than you. You’ve stood by me, through every storm and every success. It’s an honor to have you both join as mates on this special night.”Chris nodded, visibly moved, and his hand tightened around Zita’s. “Thank you, Da

As the celebration continued into the evening, the guests began forming a line to present their gifts to the new Luna. Stephanie graciously accepted each one, touched by the thoughtfulness behind every present. Her heart warmed as she saw the way her pack and loved ones had come together to make this day so memorable.Albert, Damien's former gamma and new Alpha of knight pack, presented a beautifully crafted silver pendant adorned with the Moon Goddess symbol. “To remind you of your strength and wisdom, Luna,” he said with a smile, bowing his head in respect.Stephanie took the pendant with a smile, deeply moved. “Thank you, Albert. I’ll wear it proudly,” she replied, clasping the pendant close to her heart.Jane approached next, holding a delicate painting of a moonlit forest scene. “It’s a reminder of home,” Jane said softly. “Those times you felt lost, but now you have gotten all you deserve because you are a good person.”Stephanie’s eyes shone with gratitude as she took the gift.

The night before the Luna ceremony, Stephanie lay wide awake, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts swirling with anticipation and excitement. It was hard to believe the day was finally here. She was about to step fully into the role of Luna, something that had once seemed unimaginable. Though she had faced endless trials and tribulations, she had come full circle, returning to the place where she now felt a profound sense of belonging. In the early morning hours, she heard a gentle knock at her door. “Mom?” Caleb’s voice whispered through the door.Stephanie rose and opened the door to find Caleb standing there, looking every bit as anxious as she felt. He began to speak but kept stopping, clearly struggling to find the right words.“Mom, are you… excited?” he finally asked, his voice barely more than a whisper.Stephanie placed her hands on his shoulders. “More than you can imagine,” she replied softly. “I’m nervous too, just like you.” She squeezed his shoulders reassuringly. “But

Stephanie could feel the children’s excitement building as they made their way through the heart of the pack’s community toward Alicia's shop. Though she had initially considered using a human seamstress, she felt a sense of ease in choosing Alicia, a decision that felt more meaningful now. Alicia was not only an incredible seamstress but also a woman who deeply understood the werewolf world and its sacred ceremonies. Stephanie knew that Alicia’s designs would capture the spirit and traditions of the pack, honoring the connection to the Moon Goddess.When they arrived, Alicia’s shop was warm and inviting, filled with bolts of fabric in rich colors and textures that seemed to glow under the sunlight streaming through the windows. Stephanie took in the scene, feeling a surge of pride for her pack and their traditions.The door swung open, and Alicia looked up, her face breaking into a broad smile when she saw them. “Stephanie!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine delight. “And

As they settled down for breakfast, the atmosphere was light with laughter and the occasional clink of silverware. The events of the past few days felt distant, overshadowed by the warmth of family and the security of home. The children chattered excitedly about their favorite dishes, as Stephanie and Damien exchanged glances, each silently grateful for the peace they now had.Just then, Chris and Zita walked in, both of them beaming, a radiance about them that instantly caught Stephanie’s attention. “Hey! Look who’s finally joining us!” she called out with a welcoming grin."Couldn't resist the smell of breakfast, could you?" Damien added, chuckling as he pulled out chairs for them. Chris laughed, nodding his thanks as he and Zita took their seats at the table, the children greeting them with enthusiastic waves and giggles.“We thought we’d pop in to see everyone before the day fully got underway,” Chris said, giving a warm smile around the table. “But truthfully, Zita and I have som

Stephanie stirred, blinking sleepily as the trauma of the previous night’s ordeal washed over her. She glanced beside her to see Damien, Kayla, and Caleb, all nestled close together, their faces peaceful in sleep. The children had insisted on sleeping with them that night, clinging to the safety and warmth they found between them after the terrifying events they'd endured. Stephanie had found no reason to say no; in fact, their closeness had provided her with a rare sense of calm.Taking a deep breath, Stephanie gently placed her hand on Damien’s shoulder, whispering his name as she brushed back the strands of hair that had fallen across his face. "Damien," she murmured softly, her voice barely audible. He blinked awake, his gaze meeting hers, still clouded with sleep. Slowly, she woke the children too, brushing a soft kiss over each of their foreheads. Kayla’s eyes fluttered open first, followed by Caleb’s, both of them stretching and yawning.A heaviness lay on her heart, an ache t
