Alpha's Regret 043
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

As soon as Hank left, Damien sat back in his chair, his mind racing. His daughter was alive, but why did Stephanie lie that she was dead?And Ava, what atrocities did she commit in his pack before fleeing, he would sniff her out from wherever she was hiding and make her pay for all her crimes. He slammed his fist on the desk, frustration boiling inside him.“Chris!” he called out, his voice echoing through the hall.Chris appeared quickly, sensing the tension in the air. "Yes, Alpha?" he asked, his voice hoarse “You called”"Find Ava," Damien ordered, his eyes still glowing faintly with anger. "I need answers, and someone has to pay for their sins."Chris nodded a hint of glint in his eyes. Finally, Alpha Damien was beginning to see what had been hidden from him for so long. "Understood, Alpha," he replied. But how was he going to find someone who had disappeared for almost eight years?He bowed slightly before turning to leave. **************Her twins were both alive.

Stephanie stepped outside, where the car was ready and waiting. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. "Thank you," she said to the driver as she climbed in and shut the door behind her.During the drive to the venue, Stephanie forced herself not to dwell on the turmoil in her life. She knew she needed to stay composed and appear strong, not like a damsel in distress. She gazed out of the window, focusing on the passing scenery, trying to distract herself."We're here, ma'am," the driver announced, pulling up in front of the building. He got out and opened the door for her."Thank you," Stephanie said, stepping out of the car. She straightened her shoulders and took a deep breath, readying herself for the meeting.Before she entered the building, she checked her watch and smiled. She was early. "Perfect timing," she muttered to herself, feeling a small sense of satisfaction. This would give her enough time to settle in before the meeting commenced.Then an unexpected and

The atmosphere in the private hospital where Stephanie was admitted was very tense. Her face was pale against the white sheets where she lay on the hospital bed. A bandage covered the bullet wound on her shoulder, she had not noticed that she was shot as all her concern was about her driver not until she swooned and felt a sharp pain on her shoulders.Her father had been watching the news when the coverage of a shooting spree was made, and when he heard the name of the hotel he was alarmed, it was the same hotel where Stephanie had gone for a meeting. He watched the scene play out before him. The name of the victims was confirmed as Stephanie Hanks daughter and heir of business tycoon Mr. Hanks, some passersby had been shot and Ms Hanks's driver dead. He had gotten to the scene when Stephanie was taken to the hospital by an ambulance. He followed behind and once she was admitted he bulked up the hospital with security and had two guards stationed at the door of her ward.He watched
