Alpha's Regret 126
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
Alpha's Regret 131
The journey to the Harvey pack, nestled atop the southern mountains, was one that Alpha Enzo had both dreaded and anticipated. The mountain road was a winding stretch of rugged paths, twisting and turning as though nature itself had designed it to deter the faint of heart. Towering pine trees lined either side of the narrow trail, their branches swaying in the cold breeze that swept down from the peaks. Jagged cliffs bordered portions of the path, revealing sweeping views of the valley below, shrouded in mist. The air was thin, crisp, and carried with it the scent of the earth, pine, and the untamed wilderness.Despite the ominous landscape and the stories of bandits who roamed the area, Enzo’s journey had been remarkably smooth. No ambushes, no sudden attacks, no unexpected roadblocks. For a place known for its treachery, the peace was unsettling, almost as though the mountain itself had chosen to remain silent that day.As they neared the peak, the sprawling structure of the Harvey
Alpha's Regret 132
Alpha Enzo leaned back in his chair, finally relaxing and taking in his environment. The scent of roasted meat and freshly poured ale filled the air, mingling with the heady musk of sweat and unwashed bodies. The Harvey Pack’s hideout was everything he expected—raw, wild, and untamed. It was a far cry from the rigid decorum of his own pack, but for tonight, he found himself embracing it."Did the men I sent arrive safely?" Enzo asked, cutting through the noise of the rowdy crowd.Alpha Czar, sitting across from him, grinned, baring teeth that had seen their share of brutality. "Yes. I’ve given them a room in the pack house, just like you asked. They're settled and out of sight. No one will know they’re here until you want them to."Enzo nodded in approval, swirling the beer in his mug. "Good. They’ll play an important role in what’s to come. Keep them in the dark until it’s time. The less they know, the better."Czar inclined his head, his eyes glinting with a certain calculated misc

The knock on the door was hard enough to wake the dead. Alpha Enzo stirred, groaning as he tried to pull himself together. His head pounded from the night before, and his body still felt the lingering effects of alcohol and indulgence.When he finally opened the door, Alpha Czar stood there, his hulking frame filling the doorway. His face broke into a wide grin as he took in Enzo’s disheveled appearance.“Well, well, well,” Czar said, crossing his arms. “Look who’s up. You look like a mess.”Enzo scowled, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. But the annoyance quickly faded as a mischievous glint sparked in his eyes. “A mess, maybe, but I had one hell of a night.” He stepped back from the doorway, running a hand through his tangled hair. “I don’t think I’ve ever had that much fun in my life, and that’s all thanks to you.”Czar’s booming laugh filled the room. “Glad you enjoyed it, Enzo. We don’t get many opportunities to host someone like you, so we make sure to pull out all the
