Alpha's Regret 122
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's Regret 123
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 Damien and Alpha Enzo sat in the command center, papers and maps sprawled across the table before them. The soft hum of the screens and the steady drip of rainfall outside were the only sounds cutting through the tense silence. Damien's fingers drummed against the table as his eyes darted from map to map, while Enzo leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, deep in thought.“We need to narrow down potential hiding spots,” Damien said, his voice thick with growing frustration. “She could be anywhere, Enzo. The pack's territory is vast, and there are countless abandoned structures, remote areas, caves—too many places to hide.”Enzo nodded, his sharp eyes scanning the maps. "True, but we have to start somewhere. Where’s the last place she was seen for sure?"Damien pointed to a spot on the map, marking the mall where Caleb last saw Kayla and the mysterious woman. “Right here. The cafe in the mall. But after that, she and Matilda just vanished. No one saw them leave, and the security

Alpha Enzo stood by the door, his hand already on the handle as he prepared to leave. His sharp eyes softened as he turned back to Alpha Damien, who stood beside him.“I’ll check in regularly to see how things are progressing, Damien,” Enzo said, his voice full of reassurance. “And remember, you’re not alone in this. We’ll find her.”Damien nodded, his expression showed how exhausted he was and also gratitude for his help. “Thanks, Enzo. You’ve been a real help. I owe you.”Enzo gave him a small, knowing smile. “No need for thanks. We’re brothers, remember? Take care of yourself—and Stephanie. She’s been through enough.” He glanced briefly at the door, then added, “I’ll have my men keep you updated with anything we find.”As Enzo turned to leave, the door suddenly swung open, and there stood Stephanie. Her eyes looked dull from crying but there was a hint of determination in them too. She had changed out of her nightclothes into jeans and a fitted jacket as if physically preparing for

Alpha Damien stood by the large window in his office, staring out at the distant horizon. The sun was beginning to set, casting long shadows over the pack lands. His mind raced with thoughts of the growing complexity of the investigation, and the elusive individuals involved in his daughter's disappearance. He ran a hand through his hair, feeling the pressure of the situation settle heavily on his shoulders.His phone buzzed on the desk, snapping him out of his thoughts. It was Alfred.Damien quickly answered. "Alfred, tell me you’ve got something." His tone sharpOn the other end of the line, Alfred spoke. "Alpha, we were able to trace Victor to New York and also to his house. His wife was there with the kids… but Victor wasn’t."Damien’s grip tightened on the phone, his jaw clenching. "Where is he? Did she say anything useful?"Alfred took a deep breath. "His wife says he left two days ago in the middle of the night. She woke up to find a note from him... He’s gone, Alpha. He told h

Time was moving fast but the results of the search were almost futile. Each lead led to a dead end. Just hours after Alpha Enzo had left, Alpha Damien's phone rang, breaking through the silence of the room. Damien quickly grabbed it, recognizing Enzo’s number.“Damien,” Enzo’s voice came through, “We’ve found someone.”Damien’s heart skipped a beat, his breath catching in his throat. "Who?" he asked, his voice betraying his hope and fear.“It’s a young girl, about ten years old. We’re bringing her to your pack for identification," Enzo replied.Damien’s pulse quickened. "Is it Kayla?" His voice was barely above a whisper, filled with both desperate hope and dread.“She’s not dead, Damien," Enzo continued, "but barely alive. We’re not sure who she is yet, but my men will be there soon. Be ready."Damien exhaled a breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding, feeling a brief but powerful wave of relief wash over him. "Thank you, Enzo. I’ll be ready," he said, his voice hoarse from the ten

As Louis left, Alpha Damien remained at the hospital, he watched Matilda’s grandparents rush past him into the room where their granddaughter lay. The sight of their faces—etched with worry, relief, and exhaustion—pulled at something deep within him. He had been the one to personally inform them about the kidnapping, and throughout the ordeal, he had reassured them of his commitment to finding Matilda. Now, at least part of that promise had been fulfilled, and for a moment, it felt like a small victory amid the darkness that still loomed.Matilda was back, but Kayla was still missing. That thought lingered in the back of his mind, gnawing at him.After a few minutes, the grandparents emerged from the room, visibly shaken but relieved to see their granddaughter alive, even though she remained unconscious. They approached Damien, their expressions filled with gratitude.“Thank you, Alpha,” Matilda’s grandmother said softly, her voice trembling. Her eyes were red and puffy, likely from h

Victor sat in his hotel room with his phone clenched tightly in his hand, his brow starting to perspire. He had narrowly escaped Alpha Damien’s men, thanks to a last-minute tip-off that had come just in time. Breathing heavily, he dialed a number, glancing nervously at the door, as though expecting someone to burst through at any moment.The phone rang twice before a voice answered on the other end—calm, collected, and disturbingly arrogant.“I made it out,” Victor said, his voice barely above a whisper. “Your call saved me. Alpha Damien’s men were closing in, but I managed to slip away. How did you know?”The voice on the other end remained cool, unbothered. “I know a lot of things, Victor. I told you I’d keep you one step ahead. Now, what’s your next move?”Victor frowned, pacing back and forth across the room. “I’ve been hiding out here, but I can’t stay much longer. It’s only a matter of time before they track me down. I need to know what you’re planning. You promised me control

“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.

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.

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
