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 The thought of Caleb and how he had become increasingly withdrawn, and his illness taking a toll on his small frame made her eyes cloud and filled her with weariness.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

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.

"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
Alpha's Regret 089
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
