Alpha's Regret 038
“Are you going to the office today Mom?” Kayla asked as she shoved a spoonful of cereal into her mouth. “Yes dear, it's Wednesday everyone goes to work on weekdays and sometimes on weekends too. "Stephanie replied “Not everyone, my friend Jasmine said her mom is a housewife and stays at home every day” Kayla insists.“You are correct, not everyone works in an office like I do, some are stay-at-home parents so they can take care of their kids by themselves. It's also a difficult work to do”Kayla's face squeezed into a frown showing her confusion. The look of innocence tugged at her mom's heart which made her smile.“I don't understand, how is taking care of your children work?” Kayla asked.“You have a nanny, don't you?Kayla nods to her mother's question“Your nanny's job is to take care of you and she is paid to do it. But some mothers cannot afford to pay nannies while some decide to do it themselves and it's also their choice to be a stay-at-home mom. It does not make any mother

“You look beautiful” Someone whispered into Stephanie's ears. Her breath hitches and she tried to turn but his hands touched her waist stopping her.“Did you think you could get rid of me so easily?” He taunts her. His eyes blazing with unreadable emotions.“What are you doing here, Damien? Are you stalking me now?” She poked at him. She was well aware of his fragile ego and wanted to prick at it.“What if I were, what are you going to do about it” He smirked and then took a sip of his Champagne all the while his eyes never left her face.“You are incorrigible, I would leave you alone now while I see my guests,” she says dismissively and starts to move away from him.“Our son says hello.” He muttered under his breathStephanie froze at his words “Are you trying to be funny, 'cause you are not.” she “You abandoned your newborn son and you are trying to act righteous, you are despicable. I guess Ava was right about you after all.” Alpha Damien screeched at her Stephanie could feel he

Stephanie stood at the podium, lost for words. She had not in her wildest dreams expected to be honored by her father in such a huge way. She had also not expected to see Alpha Damien again. She glanced at the people gathered and waited for the clapping to die down.“I am short of words” She began. “My father just literally took away my breath and made me speechless in just one stroke.” A ripple of light laughter erupted which made her smile and calmed her nerves.“I want to thank every one of you for honouring our invitation and attending the gathering tonight, and most importantly sharing in our joy. I also want to thank my father, Mr. Hanks” She stopped talking and looked at her father, his eyes were wet and Stephanie gave him a smile before continuing. My father's support and belief in me are the reasons that I have excelled in the world of business. His guidance and patience have contributed to making me who I am today. I also want to thank Mrs Charlotte, she took me in at the t

She took a look at herself one last time in the mirror felt content with her appearance and opened the door to leave the restroomAlpha Damien was leaning at the wall facing the door, with a smug look on his face.“You.” She mumbled under her breath “What are you doing here, in case you can't read, this is the lady's room.” She hated how agitated he made her feel.Alpha Damien ignored her questions and just stared at her, his face unreadable.“You are now a very rich woman Stephanie. An overnight success if I must say. Imagine becoming a CEO and heir in just one night. Now tell me, how did you arrive at the part where Mr. Hank, one of the wealthiest men in the world, became your father? It's a mystery I would love to unravel.” He still had a smug look on his face while he waited for her to answer.“It's none of your business, Alpha Damien, you seem to have a lot of time on your hands looking for cheap gossip,” Stephanie said, hoping to annoy him the way he was ruffling her feathers bu

"Did he say something to you?" Dr. Zita asked."I'll tell you more later. Let's focus on the party, please," Stephanie replied.Dr. Zita nodded in agreement but silently vowed to deal with Alpha Damien if he ever tried to hurt Stephanie again. For now, she decided to enjoy the party, knowing that afterwards, they would get to the bottom of whatever was troubling her friend.Throughout the remainder of the party, Stephanie tried not to think about her encounter with her nightmare Alpha Damien. After all these years had gone by, he had suddenly come back into her life and has continued to be a pain in her life. She continued to smile politely to her guests and make light conversation. Luckily her father left before she came back into the hall. If not, he would have noticed her mood and she was not ready to confront her fears now. It was a great relief for her when the party ended and everyone went home. Dr. Zita insisted on going home with her. "You are not in the right frame of min

Stephanie took Dr. Zita's advice to heart and resolved to inform her father about the situation. Since reuniting with her father, she had kept much of her past hidden, burying it deep and deciding to move on. The sudden reappearance of Alpha Damien, however, meant she had no choice but to reopen old wounds and confront the painful memories she had long tried to forget. To do that, she needed help, and her father was one of the few people who could provide it.The next morning, Stephanie woke up anxious and determined to go through with her plans. She knew this conversation wouldn't be easy, but it was necessary. After getting dressed, she took a deep breath and picked up the phone, dialling her father's private line."Hello, Dad?" she said, trying to keep her voice steady."Stephanie, it's a pleasure to hear from you. How are you doing?" her father asked, it always pleased him when she called him, especially on his private line, it meant it was a personal matter and most times they ju

What do you mean when you say he made your life miserable?” her father asked. Stephanie started to fidget, something he had never seen her do before, and his fear grew.She closed her eyes briefly and took a deep breath. Revisiting this part of her life felt like reopening a scar and turning it into a fresh wound. “I... he...” Stephanie stuttered.“Take a deep breath. If you don't feel like talking about it, we can leave that part out,” her father encouraged gently, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.“No, it's okay, Dad. I want you to know what happened. Maybe finally I can let it all go and forgive them all.” She looked into his eyes, seeking the strength to continue. Her father nodded, waiting patiently.“Ava and Alpha Damien continued to see each other even after we were married,” Stephanie began, her voice shaking. “His father's disapproval didn't stop the affair, and even though he tried to be discreet about it, Ava wasn't. She made sure to rub it in my face whenever she

“We’ll figure this out together,” her father promised, his voice firm. “You’re not alone in this, Stephanie. We’ll get to the bottom of this, and if your son is out there, we’ll bring him home.”Or die trying, he pledged to himself. He had lost his daughter once, and there was no way he was going to lose her again—not to her past, not to her scum of a husband, and not to her pain.Stephanie pulled back slightly, looking into her father's eyes. “But how, Dad? How do we even begin to find out if he’s telling the truth? What if it’s all just another way to hurt me?”Her father squeezed her hands gently. “Where there's a will, there's a way. I will find a way.” He kissed the top of her head, reminiscent of the way he used to when she was just a baby. *******************ECLIPSE PACK“What is the problem? You have been on a short fuse since coming back from your trip, and you’re taking your anger out on the pack members. Worse, you refuse to talk about it,” Chris said, his voice filled wi

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
Alpha's Regret 203
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
