Alpha's Regret 077
Hank had always prided in his office, it was his place of solitude and he had spared no expense in furnishing it to his taste. He loved how spacious it was and its elegance was unquestionable. The interior designer he contracted for the job had insisted on using dark mahogany furniture adorned with art pieces that spoke of a refined taste.The large windows behind his desk offered a spectacular view of the city, casting a warm glow over the polished surfaces. The first day Stephanie came into his office she had been blown away by its serenity, aura and warmth. Sometimes during the day when work was slow, she would come to her father's office to converse and also enjoy the calm the office exuded.Since Ken and Kelvin were imprisoned she made it a habit to come daily to keep her father company and ensure he was not still hurt by the betrayal. As she conversed with her dad, she moved around the office, trailing her fingers along the edge of the antique desk, admiring the bookshelves li

Greg watched Stephanie, intrigued by the unusual blush that colored her cheeks. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of conversation she had been having with her father. If only he could be a fly on the wall during one of those discussions, he mused.Though he had caught something about dating from Mr. Hank, it was Stephanie’s beauty and poise that captured his attention. Everything about her was near perfect, and he found himself admiring her more deeply than before.After mulling it over in his mind for a while, Greg finally gathered the courage to ask, "Stephanie, would you like to go on a date with me?"Before she could respond, he quickly added, "Just a friendly date, I mean. I could use a friend to spend some time with. It's been a long time since I last went out."Stephanie hesitated, considering his words. She looked into his eyes and saw sincerity and some form of vulnerability. Finally, she nodded, "As a friend, okay."Greg's face lit up with joy. "Great! How about tonight?

"Agreed," Greg said, raising his fork in salute. "And speaking of pleasures, this has been one of the best evenings I've had in a long time. Thank you for saying yes.""Thank you for asking," Stephanie replied softly. "It's been a while since I've done something like this. I almost forgot how much fun it can be."Greg's heart warmed at her words. "Well, let's make sure this isn't the last time. What do you say? We make it a regular thing?"Stephanie smiled, leaning in slightly. "So, Greg, just to be clear, is this as friends?"Greg met her gaze, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Strictly just as friends," he replied, a playful smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.Stephanie giggled, a sound that made Greg’s heart skip a beat. "Alright then, it's a deal."Greg laughed softly, relieved and happy that she agreed. "Perfect. Just friends enjoying each other's company. No pressure, no expectations."Stephanie nodded, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. "Sounds like exactly what I

Stephanie thought to herself how everything in her life seemed to be falling into place. Her son had come back into her life, her would-be assassins were in jail, and she was healthy. She had also just had the best date she’d had in a long while.As she was reflecting on her recent good fortune, her phone rang. Seeing Greg’s name on the screen, she smiled and picked up the call.“Hey, Greg!” Stephanie greeted him warmly.“Hey, Stephanie. How’s your day going?” Greg’s voice was as cheerful as ever.“It’s been good. Busy, but good,” she replied, leaning back in her chair. “How about yours?”“Not too bad,” Greg said. “Actually, I was calling to see if you’d be available for another date this Saturday.”Stephanie’s heart did a little flip. “Another date? You mean like a proper date or just as friends?” she teased.Greg chuckled. “Strictly as friends, of course. We wouldn’t want to break any rules now would we?”Stephanie laughed, feeling a warm glow spreading through her. “Of course not.

Greg called to check in on Stephanie and to remind her about their date."Hey, Stephanie," His voice was cheerful as he greeted her. "Just calling to see how you're doing and to remind you about our date tonight.""I'm doing great, Greg. And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about our date. Seven o'clock, right?" She replied"Yes, seven it is," he confirmed. "I'm glad you remembered. Looking forward to it.""Me too," she replied, smiling even though he couldn't see it. "See you tonight."After hanging up, Stephanie noticed Caleb watching her curiously. "Who was that on the phone, Mom?" he asked."It was a good friend and business partner," Stephanie explained, trying to keep her tone casual.Caleb nodded, accepting her answer. "Can we eat out and go sightseeing today?" he suggested with a hopeful grin.Kayla, overhearing the conversation, jumped in with excitement. "Yes, Mom! Let's go out! It'll be so much fun!"Stephanie couldn't resist their excitement. "Alright, let's get dressed an

“I want to stay awake until they get back,” Caleb insisted when the nanny suggested it was time for bed.“Caleb, it's late. You need your rest,” the nanny replied, trying to reason with him.“Please, just this once.” He insisted The nanny sighed, understanding his feelings and his need to spend as much time as possible with his mother since he lived with his father. “Alright, but just this once. You can stay up, but you have to promise to be in bed when your mom gets home.”Caleb nodded vigorously. “I promise.”Once Kayla had gone to bed, Caleb and the nanny played board games and watched TV. They laughed and joked, but as the night wore on, the nanny began to tire.“Caleb, I’m going to bed now. You should too,” she said, stifling a yawn.“I’ll wait up. I’ll be fine,” Caleb assured her.The nanny reluctantly agreed and headed to bed, leaving Caleb alone in the living room. He fought off sleep, his eyes drooping, until he heard the sound of a car pulling up outside. He rushed to the w

Stephanie sat on the edge of her bed, staring at her phone, the conversation with Alpha Damien weighed heavy on her mind. The thought of Caleb and how he had become increasingly withdrawn, and his illness taking a toll on his small frame made her eyes cloud and filled her with weariness. He needed his father, she knew that much, but the thought of returning to the pack filled her with so much dread that her body shook.As she sat there, lost in thought, she decided to call her father. He had always been her rock, offering guidance in moments of uncertainty just like now. Picking up her phone and dialed his number, her heart pounding as she waited for him to answer."Hello, sweetheart," "Hi, Dad," Stephanie replied, trying to keep her voice steady. "I need to talk to you about something.""Of course, what’s on your mind?""Caleb’s not doing well. He’s been homesick, and now he’s sick. I called Alpha Damien, and he asked me to bring Caleb back to the pack. He also wants me to bring Ka

Alpha Damien paced his office, his usual calm demeanor was now replaced with restless energy. The stack of paperwork on his desk was ignored, pushed aside in favor of more immediate concerns—Stephanie and the children. He had spent the entire morning trying to focus on his duties as Alpha, but his mind kept drifting back to them. Would Stephanie come with Caleb? And more importantly, would she bring Kayla?He sighed, running a hand through his hair as he glanced at the clock. The hours seemed to drag by painfully slow, each minute increasing his apprehension. He knew he had no right to expect anything from Stephanie, not after the way he had treated her all those years ago. If she chose to send Caleb with someone else, he wouldn’t blame her. He had hurt her deeply, and he was painfully aware that their relationship—or lack thereof—was entirely his fault.Damien thought back to the few brief encounters he’d had with Kayla since learning of her existence. She was a spitting image of Ste

“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
