Alpha's Regret 030
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

“Your daughter,” Stephanie said in disbelief. “You are joking right.” Mr Hanks shook his head, “I am not joking Stephanie, I know the whole thing sounds ridiculous and I don't blame you if you doubt me but, the first time I saw you I was sure you were my Annie, you have Maya's can'terism, height everything, you look just like her. Even her hair color, Maya's hair was red just like yours. I used to call her my little fox.” His voice cracked as he spoke, anyone listening could tell he loved his Maya.“I don't know.” Stephanie finally said after some minutes. “I was raised at the orphanage and the information I was given was that both my parents were dead and I have come to accept that all my life. After the fire incident at the orphanage, I was so young when it happened, we were sleeping one minute, and the next minute we heard screams and we were evacuated. The survivors among us were taken to different places and I was taken to a pack called Eclipse pack. The Alpha then was Alpha Kin

THREE YEARS LATERTime they say heals old wounds. Stephanie was a testament to that, as days turned to months she had been able to forget and forge ahead from the pains and torments she suffered from and survived. She believed she started to heal better after discovering that Mr. Hanks was her father. The DNA test had come out stating that they were indeed related, everyone in the room had cried especially Stephanie and her father. Mr. Hanks had apologized for not being in her life all those years. He was sorry for not being man enough to take care of his responsibilities which was her. He knew it was too late to go back to the past and make amendments, but he was ready to be in her life if she would allow him.Stephanie cried harder after he made the declaration, memories of what she had been made to go through years past flooded her mind. But she was willing and ready to heal and forge ahead with her life. It was the universe giving her a second chance, a new life with a father she

Stephanie was greeted by the welcoming faces of her father's workers, since joining her father's company, they had always shown her respect and love which she cherished a lot. On entering her father's office, he welcomed her with a big smile that covered his face. “Here comes the daughter with whom I am well pleased.” her father said with a wide grin, “You look exceptionally beautiful today my dearest.” Stephanie smiled loving every bit of her father in her life. “Thank you, Father, though I know you exaggerated sometimes.” Mr.Hanks gave a deep-throated laughter “No I don't.” Stephanie sneered “If you say so father. My secretary said you wanted to see me.” “Yes I do, I tried your number but it was out of reach.” “Sorry about that, I forgot to remove it from airplane mode after my meeting.” “Were you able to get the contract from our African client?” “Yes, I already signed and I believe my secretary would have scanned the copy over to them,” Stephanie replied, her voi

Stephanie and two of her most trusted and reliable subordinates at the office arrived at the long-awaited business meeting. Through the large windows of the cafe where they had gone for breakfast, Stephanie admired the environment; she could not deny how serene and beautiful it was everywhere. She was so engrossed in talking to her friends while appreciating her surroundings that she did not notice the lone figure sitting a few tables away from her and whose eyes had been fixed on her since she walked into the cafe. His eyes never left her face for once and he had no intent on leaving even though he was done with his food and drink and needed to head back to his hotel room because he had to go through his briefs for the last time before his scheduled meeting which would be taking place in an hour.He watched as she laughed, and made silly faces at her companions. She looked healthy, happy, and more sophisticated than he remembered. Her innocence was gone, replaced by a harder and ster

Alpha Damien snares as he watched his ex-wife do her thing. He had only known her to be submissive but what he was witnessing now was much more than he had thought she would ever be. She now had a depth to her and from the way she spoke and how the president of the Tura beauty company talked to her and addressed her, he was sure she was not just here as her company's secretary, she was much more and he could bet his last dime that she held a high position in the Hanks enterprise. He had gone through the competitor's list and found the name of her company. He had heard a lot about them even though he had never met the owner. He wondered how she had achieved so much since she ran out of the pack because he was sure she had no dime to her name, she was an orphan his father had taken in and insisted he mated her.Stephanie on the other hand was feeling very nervous, and winning this project was very important to her and her father. Hence the reason why she poured her heart and soul into m

“Thank you, Mr Hunter, it is nice doing business with you.” Stephanie smiled gracefully as she left the room. She met up with her assistants on the ground floor of the building.“Congratulations, you did it.” One of them said as soon as they saw her.“Congratulations.” The other one echoed and they all shared a group hug.“I feel so elated,” Stephanie said as they walked out of the building. “I thought that I would not pull through, I even got scared when I noticed I was the only woman in the meeting.“I was sure you would do exceptionally well today. You are intelligent and hardworking and you put everything you had into the project. If anyone deserves to win, then it's you”“Yes, I did put in the work,” Stephanie says with a whimper. She had never worked so hard to bring any project to life as she did with this one and it totally paid off well. “You guys also helped me achieve this today and I am indebted to you two. Also, we will celebrate our success at the office when we return.”

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.

“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
