Alpha's Regret 116
Damien frowned slightly as he considered her question. “It’s possible,” he said slowly. “She was always aware of more than she revealed or made known. If she did know, it might explain why she was so determined to drive a wedge between us. She wanted you to believe there was nothing here for you so you would leave, she wanted me to be hers and hers alone at all possible cost.”Stephanie nodded, the pieces starting to fall into place. “I always wondered why she was so insistent that I run away, why she helped me despite her deep hatred for me,” she said, her voice thoughtful. “Maybe she knew that if I stayed, we might have found a way back to each other, especially since we had kids together.”Damien stepped closer, his hand reaching out to gently caress her cheek. “But you’re here now and we have both our children with us,” he said softly. “And maybe, just maybe, we can still find that way back.”Stephanie looked up at him, the warmth in his eyes wrapping around her like a comforting

Stephanie glanced over at Damien as he slept, her heart still fluttering from the moments they had shared. The cabin had been a perfect retreat, in fact, the whole escapade had been breathtaking but reality called and they had to head back home."Damien," Stephanie said, "I think it's time we head back to the mansion. The children might be worried about us."Damien looked down at her, a playful smile tugging at his lips. "Don’t worry," he said with a chuckle. "Chef Mark was grinning like a Cheshire cat when I asked him to prepare some snacks. He knew I was taking you out for a walk, and I think he's just as invested in this as I am. If anything, he’s probably more excited about us getting back together than we are."Stephanie couldn't help but smile at the thought. She had always known that Chef Mark cared for her, but she had never realized just how deep that affection ran. It was comforting to know that so many were rooting for their happiness."I always knew Chef Mark had a soft sp

The atmosphere around the pack was thick with tension, the usually lively grounds now eerily silent. It was the weekend, a time when the pack would usually be bustling with activities; children playing outside, parents chatting in the gardens, and teenagers moving about in groups, their laughter filling the air. But today was different. The news of Kayla’s kidnapping had spread like wildfire, and now, the entire pack was in lockdown.Guards were stationed at every entrance, their eyes scanning the area for any signs of unusual activity. Parents kept their children close, staying indoors to avoid any potential threats. The teens, who usually roamed freely, now walked in pairs, their usual carefree demeanor replaced by a cautious vigilance. Everyone knew that any odd movement could lead to immediate questioning or worse, being locked up until the situation was under control.Inside the mansion, the tension was even more palpable. In the living room, Stephanie sat on the couch, her face

After ensuring that Stephanie was resting comfortably, the pack doctor gave her a mild sedative to help her sleep. Damien had lingered by her bedside for a few moments longer, watching as her breathing slowed and her face relaxed. He knew she needed this rest more than anything right now, even though it tore at him to see her so vulnerable.Once he was certain that Stephanie was finally at peace, Damien quietly left the room, closing the door softly behind him. His mind was already shifting to the task at hand. He had a pack to protect, a daughter to find, and no time to waste.As he walked briskly down the hallway, Damien caught up with Alfred, who was waiting for him just outside the interrogation room. “Any updates?” He askedAlfred nodded, keeping pace with Damien’s quick strides. “We’ve brought in the waitress Caleb mentioned, the one who checked the restroom for Kayla and Matilda. She’s in the interrogation room now.”Damien’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Did she say anything useful

Alpha Damien, Louis, and Alfred moved swiftly through the mansion, accompanied by a small group of security guards. Their destination was the surveillance workstation, located in the heart of the pack's community. It was a central hub, where every corner of their territory was monitored. In times like these, it was their greatest asset.When they reached the surveillance station, the workers inside quickly rose from their seats, on seeing their alpha. Damien wasted no time with pleasantries.“We need all footage from the café where Kayla was last seen,” Alpha Damien ordered, his tone sharp and commanding. “Start with today, then move backward. We’re looking for a woman, with dark hair and a long coat. Abigail said she was near the restroom before Kayla disappeared.”The workers nodded, their fingers flying over the keyboards as they brought up the requested footage. The room was tense as the video feeds flickered across the screens.Alpha Damien leaned forward, his eyes scanning the i

A sudden knock on the door pulled Alpha Damien from his thoughts. He had been waiting for news from his men. Just then Alfred strode in, his face guarded. "Alpha, one of our guards found James."Damien's eyes narrowed. "Where?""He was hiding at the café," Alfred replied. "The guard caught him trying to sneak out to get food. He’s in custody now, and we’ve brought him here for questioning."Damien's jaw clenched. "Good. Let’s see what he has to say."Minutes later, James was escorted into the room, his face pale and drawn. The young man looked scared out of his wits, his eyes darting around the room as if seeking an escape. But there was none. The guards flanked him on either side, their stances rigid.Damien leaned back in his chair, his gaze piercing as he studied the young man. "James," he began, his voice low and controlled, "you’ve put yourself in quite the situation. Running and hiding doesn’t help your case."James swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he spoke. "Alpha Damien,

Alpha Damien felt a cold wave of anger wash over him when the guards reported that Mike had vanished without a trace. There was a feeling of unrest in the room as pieces of information came through."Alpha," Alfred began, his voice laced with frustration and concern, "we searched Mike's residence thoroughly. There was nothing left—no personal items, no signs of a struggle, nothing. It's as if he vanished into thin air. We spoke to the neighbors, and they mentioned seeing him moving things out of his apartment over the past week. But for the last two days, he’s been completely off the radar. No one’s seen or heard from him."Damien's jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing as he processed the information. "So, he was actually in on this," Damien muttered, more to himself than to anyone in the room. "He started clearing out a week ago, knowing full well what he or they were about to do."Alfred nodded, his expression grim. "Yes, Alpha. It seems he had been planning this for quite some time no

Alpha Damien was drained, nearly 24 hours had passed since the incident, and he and his team had barely slept, pushing through exhaustion in their frantic search. The entire pack was on high alert, with every member from the youngest to the eldest aware that something was terribly wrong. Tension filled the air, thick and stifling, making even the smallest tasks feel unconquerable.He was in the middle of a briefing when a knock at the door interrupted the meeting. The guard peeked in, a look of surprise on his face. "Alpha Damien, you have a visitor."Damien frowned. "I'm not expecting anyone."The guard stepped aside, revealing a tall figure that Damien recognized immediately—Alpha Enzo. The sight of him brought a mixture of surprise and relief. Damien hadn't been expecting him, but he was more than glad to see his old friend.Enzo stepped into the room, his presence commanding, as always. He was a man who had earned his reputation through sheer willpower and strategic brilliance. Un

Alpha's Regret 207
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
