Alpha's Regret 082
“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 The thought of Caleb and how he had become increasingly withdrawn, and his illness taking a toll on his small frame made her eyes cloud and filled her with weariness.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

The news of Stephanie's return spread through the pack. Within hours, the mansion was surrounded by pack members. Some were genuinely excited to see their former Luna, eager to reconnect, while others were merely curious, eager for gossip. Then some didn’t care, but joined the crowd, not wanting to miss out on anything happening in the pack.From his study, Alpha Damien could hear the murmur of voices growing louder as more people gathered outside. He sighed and rubbed a hand over his face. Resigning himself to what he had to do, he came out onto the front porch and immediately, the murmurs stopped as all eyes turned to him and waited for him to speak. “Thank you all for coming, I know many of you are curious about my visitors, especially your former Luna. I want you to know that she is here as my guest and has also brought with her my daughter whom I thought was lost.”Murmuring started through the crowd, and Damien held up a hand and they stopped talking. “I understand that you are

As soon as Dr. Zita entered the living room, Stephanie’s face lit up with a warm smile. She hurried over, wrapping her arms around her friend. "Zita! It’s so good to see you," Stephanie said, with a huge smile Dr. Zita returned the embrace with equal warmth, stepping back to look Stephanie over. "You look good, Stephanie. How are you holding up?"“It's been hectic, but I can't complain," Stephanie replied, Dr. Zita’s gaze softened. "I’m glad you cane. And Kayla? She’s here too, right?""Yes, she’s here." Stephanie smiled, then turned to call out, "Kayla, come say hi to Dr. Zita!"Kayla ran and hugged her, and Dr. Zita kissed her cheeks. "I have been gone for just a few days and you look so grown up already.” Dr. Zita teased herKayla smiled shyly at being teased. Dr. Zita then turned her attention to Caleb, who had been lingering nearby. "And how are you feeling, Caleb? I heard you weren’t feeling too well."Caleb nodded, his expression brightening as he said, "I’m feeling much bet

Stephanie sat at the head of the table as she had breakfast with her children. ‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.’ she would always say to Kayla. And breakfast time had become part of their favorite time togetherCaleb chatted as he ate. "And then, Dad showed me the new training grounds! You should see it, Mom, it's huge! I can’t wait to join them!" His voice brimmed with excitement, his words tumbling over each other as he tried to share every detail.Kayla's eyes sparkled with curiosity, as she listened to her brother. "Do you think I’ll get to see it too, Mom? The training grounds?" she asked, in excitement. Stephanie smiled at her daughter, reaching out to smooth a lock of hair behind her ear. "Of course, sweetie. I’m sure you’ll get to see everything soon enough."Just then, Mark entered the room, carrying the last of the breakfast dishes. He placed a steaming plate of pancakes in the center of the table. "Well, if it isn’t the future Alpha himself," he teased, ru

The day of the ceremony had finally arrived. Stephanie paced her room, trying to calm the nerves that twisted her stomach into knots. The ceremony was meant to introduce Kayla to the pack. She adjusted the hem of her dress for the hundredth time, her thoughts racing, what if they reject her since she had not been to the pack all her life and lived amongst humans.Kayla, on the other hand, was excited and afraid at the same time. She sat on the edge of her bed, fiddling with the delicate lace of her dress. "Mom," she had asked earlier, her voice trembling slightly, "what if they don’t like me? What if I mess up?"Stephanie had knelt down in front of her daughter, placing a comforting hand on her cheek. "Kayla, you’re going to be wonderful. The pack will love you just as much as we do. And remember, you’re not alone—you’ll have Caleb by your side." She had assured her pushing her own fear aside.Just then, Caleb had popped his head into the room, grinning. "She’s right, Kayla. I’ll be r

As soon as Stephanie and the children arrived, pack members and guests parted for them, all eyes turning in their direction. Alpha Damien stood near the entrance, his broad shoulders and commanding presence doing little to hide the deep emotions flickering across his face. The moment he laid eyes on his children and Stephanie, his stoic demeanor softened, and his lips curled into a small smile.Stephanie noticed the sudden shift in his expression. His smile was warm, almost vulnerable, and though she sensed the emotion in his gaze, she quickly averted her eyes, her heart beating a little faster in response. It was easier to focus on her children than to acknowledge the man who had caused her so much pain, the same man who was now blinking back tears at the sight of them.Damien cleared his throat and quickly composed himself. "Hank," he greeted, as he stepped closer to Stephanie’s father. "Thank you for coming. It means a lot to us all."Hank smiled and returned the gesture. "I woul

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
