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

After the call and monologuing he leaned back in his chair with satisfaction, everything was going as planned he sneered with conviction. Another thought came to his mind and he glanced toward the door and called out in a loud authoritative voice.“Get Dave, tell him to come to me," he said, not looking up from the papers strewn across his desk.A few moments later, Dave entered. "You called."“I want you to get Ava for me, you know she is stubborn and would disregard the guards."Dave sneered and thought to himself that she responds to no one even to you. "And the other girl? Was she dumped at the cave as I instructed?” He asked looking with intent to his beta"Yes," the beta confirmed. "They followed your orders. She was left there for two hours before they made the call to Alpha Damien, just as you said. When they brought her back, he recognized her immediately."He chuckled, the sound low and ominous. "Good. Very good. You’ve done well." He tapped his fingers thoughtfully again
