Alpha's Regret 040
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

Chris sighed. “You’ve really made a mess of things, Damien. But Stephanie is a kind-hearted woman. She’ll likely make the right decision.”"Are you always going to bring that up whenever we talk about her?" Alpha Damien asked, irritation creeping into his voice."I can't help it. I always stand by the truth. This is part of the reason you made me your beta," Chris replied calmly.Alpha Damien growled but remained silent. He knew Chris was right, and there was no point in arguing."Have you heard from Ava? She had a part in all this," Chris asked, shifting the conversation."I will kill her if she dares to resurface," Damien spat out. "She wanted to kill my children, and I can’t begin to imagine the other things she might have done that I’m not aware of."Before Chris could reply, Alpha Damien's phone rang. He picked it up, his expression darkening."Alpha," the voice on the other end said, "someone is here to see you, and he says it's urgent.""You never call me before ushering in a g

“You just have five minutes, and that’s all,” Alpha Damien said, his tone sharp. He turned on his heel and started walking away.Mr. Hank quickly addressed his entourage, “Wait here. I’ll be back shortly.” He then hurried to catch up with Damien, he was a bit surprised he agreed to talk to him in private after refusing at first and the little brawl that ensued between them.Alpha Damien led the way, his footsteps echoing through the hallway. “This way,” he muttered, not bothering to look back.They reached the study on the ground floor of the mansion. Damien pushed the door open and stepped inside. He went straight to his chair and sat down without offering Stephanie's father a seat.Hank took a seat, he understood the type of person he was dealing with and he was tired and could not stand on his feet while there was an empty seat. His eyes scanned the room. “Thank you for agreeing to talk,” he said, trying to ease the tension.Alpha Damien remained standing, leaning against the Chai
