Alpha's Regret 068
Dr. Zita was already feeling the weariness of her journey; she turned to Alpha Damien with a small, apologetic smile. "Before I see Chris, I'd like to freshen up," she said. "I want to make sure I'm clean, to avoid any risk of contamination."Alpha Damien nodded in agreement, understanding her concern. "Of course," he said, gesturing to one of the maids standing nearby. "Please prepare a room for her."The maid nodded and led the way, but Dr. Zita, familiar with the layout of the mansion, decided to take a brief detour. She made her way to the kitchen, where she found Chef Mark bustling about. He looked up as she entered, his eyes widening in surprise and delight."Zita! Is it really you?" Chef Mark exclaimed, wiping his hands on his apron before pulling her into a warm hug. "It's been so long!"Dr. Zita returned the embrace, smiling. "It's good to see you too, Mark. How have you been?"Chef Mark stepped back, looking her over with joy. "I've been well, though I heard about everything

Dr. Zita's heart pounded as she entered the room where Chris lay, his once vibrant presence now diminished to a still form on the bed. The sight of him, covered in bruises and burn marks, brought a lump to her throat. She swallowed hard, trying to steady herself, but the tears came anyway, quietly streaming down her cheeks. She moved closer, her hands trembling slightly as she took a seat beside him."Chris," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. "It's me, Zita. Everything's going to be okay. You just need to fight a little longer."She gently took his hand in hers, feeling the warmth of his skin against her palm. Her fingers traced the outline of his, remembering the times they had held hands in the past. "I know we haven't spoken in years," she continued, her voice barely above a whisper. "But I still care about you. I always have. And I need you to get better, to see how much you're loved."As she spoke, she felt a slight pressure against her hand. Startled, she looked down

Stephanie had always loved Sunday morning especially since she started living in the mansion her father gave her. She was happy to be back after staying in a hidden location for a week after she was shot. There was always a tranquil energy around her kitchen, and this morning was no different as the morning sunlight streamed into the kitchen as Stephanie and Kayla sat down for breakfast. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the scent of pancakes, and bacon was heavenly. She prepared a plate of the meal for Kayla with orange juice and also made a plate for herself with a second helping of coffee "I miss Aunt Zita a lot," Kayla said. She played with her food, her fork tracing patterns in the syrup on her plate before cutting a slice of pancake and shoving it into her mouth Stephanie looked up from her coffee, a sympathetic smile on her face. "Don't worry, sweetheart. She'll be back soon," she assured her.Kayla nodded. After a moment, she looked up, her eyes brightening w

Cassandra paced in her lavish bedroom, a feeling of dread washed over her. The news that her plan to sell Hank's majority shares had been intercepted had sent her into a panic. She knew the police were coming for her once it was discovered that she initiated the sales. Unable to deal with the situation alone, she quickly dialed a number on a secure, private line, her fingers trembling.Ken answered, his voice sharp with irritation. "What is it now, Mom?""Ken, we have a problem," Cassandra said, her voice cracking. "The police are onto us, They know about the shares. We have to do something."There was a pause on the other end, followed by a loud sigh. "You always manage to screw things up, don't you?" Ken snapped, in frustration. "I told you to be careful!"Cassandra felt a surge of tears prickling her eyes. "It wasn't just me! You and Kelvin were supposed to handle the details. You said you had everything under control!"Ken's voice was cold. "We did our part, Mom. You were the one
Alpha's Regret 072
Ken looked at his brother, Kelvin, and nodded in agreement. "Alright, it's a good plan. But, Mom, you need to be careful out there," he said, his voice tense.Kelvin chimed in, "Yeah, make sure you’re not being followed. The last thing we need is the cops catching up with us."Cassandra, her face lined with stress, nodded. "I understand. I'll be careful," she replied, trying to steady her voice. She grabbed her purse and made her way to the door, pausing for a moment to look back at her sons. The sight of them, grown yet still so dependent, filled her with resentment. "I'll be back soon. Just... stay out of trouble," she added, though she doubted they could avoid it.As she drove to the nearest ATM, her mind raced with thoughts of survival. She had always provided for her sons, giving them everything they desired. But now, as things spiraled out of control, she realized she needed to prioritize herself. The fury in Kelvin's eyes, in particular, unnerved her. She didn't doubt for a sec

Ken struggled to steady his breathing, clutching his chest as the panic attack gripped him. His vision blurred, and he felt like he was suffocating. "It's okay, it's okay," he whispered to himself, rocking slightly on the spot, trying to calm down. He repeated the words like a mantra, but they did little to soothe him.Kelvin, after venting his rage by smashing a few more items, finally calmed down. He slumped into a chair, staring blankly at the mess he'd made. After a few moments of silence, he looked over at his brother, who was still trying to collect himself. "Ken," he began, "we need to take charge of this situation."Ken lifted his head, his eyes red and swollen from crying. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice trembling."We need to disguise ourselves and check out Mom's place," Kelvin said, his tone determined. He leaned forward. "She might have left something behind. We need cash, valuables, anything we can get our hands on."Ken hesitated, doubt flickering across his fac

Hank had just finished a meeting with his top executives when he received the news. Ken and Kelvin, his stepsons, had been arrested. A wave of conflicting emotions washed over him. Despite everything they'd done, he couldn't help but feel a deep sadness. He remembered them as young boys, full of potential before they were twisted by their mother's influence. He blamed himself, too, for not stepping in more forcefully, for letting Cassandra dictate their upbringing. The result was now two young men facing serious charges, including attempted murder.Wasting no time, He decided to visit them at the station. As he walked in, he saw Ken sitting in the corner, looking defeated and disheveled. Kelvin, on the other hand, still wore his arrogance with pride, his eyes were cold and challenging. When they saw him they looked away, refusing to look him in the eye. Hank noticed that Kelvin's leg was bleeding, he needed no one to tell him that he must have done something that made them shoot him
Alpha's Regret 075
"You have been sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole, contingent on good behavior, after thirty years," the judge announced solemnly, his voice echoing through the chamber. The gavel came down with a resounding thud, sealing their fate.Kelvin's face twisted in fury. "This is bullshit!" he shouted, his voice raw with anger and disbelief. He turned to Ken, his eyes blazing. "You thought Hank would save us? Look where that got us—rotting in jail for the rest of our lives!"Ken, pale and shaken, stood silently. He glanced at Hank, as he approached them. Ken couldn't meet his eyes for long, his own filled with tears. "You don't care about us," Ken murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. "You've made it clear today."Kelvin sneered, his defiance not yet extinguished. "You just wanted to see us suffer," he spat at Hank. "I hope your precious company crashes and burns, and you go straight to hell. Mom was better off without you."Hank sighed, "I wouldn't be here

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
