Alpha's Regret 141
As the sun climbed higher in the sky, the heat became unbearable. Sweat trickled down Damien's forehead, but he hardly noticed. His focus remained unwavering, though he could see his men starting to grow weary. After hours of trekking under the blazing sun, he finally signaled for a break. They settled on a slope that offered a bit of shade and respite from the heat.The men dropped their packs and began pulling out their rations—dried meats, nuts, and canteens of water. Damien sat apart from them, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon, though his mind was elsewhere. His thoughts drifted back to Stephanie, the look on her face when he left, her whispered plea for him to stay, and the quiet strength she always seemed to exude even in moments of fear. Then, his thoughts shifted to Kayla, his daughter—the one he had only just met and was desperate to save.His men, sitting in a loose circle nearby, chatted quietly amongst themselves. He could hear snippets of their conversation—old war s
Alpha's Regret 142
Alpha Enzo's silence was more menacing than any outburst could have been. He leaned back in his chair, the leather creaking softly. His eyes blazed with fury, his jaw clenched tightly as he stared down the rogue who had the audacity to return alone, leaving behind the rest of his fallen comrades. The rogue's tattered clothes were soaked with blood, some of it his, most of it belonging to the others who hadn't survived. He looked terrified, as though he knew the moment he arrived that failure would cost him dearly.Alpha Enzo slammed his fist down on the wooden table, the sound reverberating through the chamber. “What do you mean all of them failed? You’re telling me Damien wiped out an entire squad of rogues, and you’re the only one who managed to crawl back?” His voice was low, but filled with barely controlled rage.The rogue winced at the force of the Alpha's anger but tried to explain. “Alpha, I swear—I’ve never seen anything like it. Alpha Damien and his warriors...they’re ruthle
Alpha's Regret 143
Stephanie paced the length of her living room, She was a bundle of nerves, after losing communication with Damien two days after he left. A part of her feared something had happened to him but deep down, her wolf who since after Kayla disappeared started to resurface though briefly, reassured her, whispering that he was still alive. Despite that small comfort, the silence gnawed at her. She had expected at least a word, something to hold on to, but there had been nothing.What surprised her even more was Caleb. He had taken on a maturity she had never seen before, acting like a little protector, always there when she needed him, offering quiet support in his own way. It was as though he sensed how fragile she felt and had made it his duty to hold her together. Every time she looked at him, her heart swelled with gratitude.Her father, though, remained in the dark. She hadn’t told him what had happened, fearing the implications of human involvement in their world. Too many lives were a

Chris leaned forward, his eyes boring into Ava as he crossed his arms over his chest. His voice simmered with anger. "Why did you poison my drink, Ava?" he asked, his words cutting through the silence in the room like a blade. "Why did you want me dead?"Ava shifted in her chair, her eyes darting nervously around the room. She was clearly uncomfortable, but she tried to mask it with a defiant sneer. “Why do you think, Chris? You were always in the way.”"In the way of what?" Chris pressed, leaning in closer. "What were you hoping to gain by killing me? Did you think no one would notice? Who are you working with, Ava? Because I know you. You're not clever enough to pull this off alone."Her eyes narrowed at the insult. “Don’t you dare underestimate me? I don’t need anyone’s help to get what I want.”"You're lying," Chris said coldly, his jaw clenched. "You weren't smart enough to poison me without help. So tell me, Ava. Who else is involved? Who are you working with?"Ava’s nostrils fl

Ava scowled at Stephanie, her lips curled in disdain. “You’re nothing but a whore,” she spat, the venom in her words vicious.Without hesitation, Stephanie lashed out, delivering a hard blow to Ava’s face. The impact was swift and brutal, splitting Ava’s lip. Blood dripped down her chin as hot tears welled in her eyes.For a moment, there was silence. Then Ava, no longer able to maintain control, erupted. “You think that’s going to stop me? I paid that woman—the one who helped lure Kayla out of the café. I had it all planned. Kayla was just the start. I wanted to kill Caleb too!” Ava’s voice was sharp and trembling, almost unhinged. “But then your precious Alpha Damien found out about Madame. He found out the truth about what was happening at the Omega Pack and my plans to kill you and the despicable pups growing inside you. That’s why I had to run. But now, I’m going to destroy you, Stephanie. I know where Kayla is right now!” Stephanie’s heart raced. She leaned forward, her voice a

Chris sat silently beside Stephanie as she sat slumped in the corner, still trembling from her sudden shifting and the weight of the revelation of Alpha Enzo’s betrayal, Ava’s cold confession, and the gnawing fear of what had become of Damien and Kayla.For a while, Chris said nothing. He knew Stephanie needed space, needed time to process the flood of emotions. Her breath was shaky, her eyes staring blankly at the floor. The room was still, the faint echoes of Ava’s screams long gone. Only the sound of Stephanie’s quiet sobs broke the silence.Finally, Chris spoke, his voice gentle and low. “You know…something positive came out of all this.”Stephanie lifted her head slightly, looking at him through tear-streaked eyes, her expression both of disbelief and exhaustion. “Positive? Are you serious?” Her voice was brittle, her hands shaking as she wiped her cheeks. “What could be positive about any of this, Chris? I don’t know where my daughter is. Damien might be—” Her voice broke, unabl

Stephanie stood up, her eyes still red from crying. “What’s the plan?” she asked Chris, her voice was steady but there was an undertone of exhaustion.Chris gave her a long look, his brow furrowed in concern. “We need to move carefully,” he said, glancing around to ensure they weren’t overheard. “If we’re not discreet, words could get out, and that’s the last thing we need right now. Enzo’s already ahead of us, and if he catches wind of any of this, it could put Kayla, Damien, and the others in even more danger.”Stephanie clenched her fists, her body tense. “I’m not going to sit around while my daughter is out there with him,” she muttered, her voice wavering slightly. “I can’t just—”Chris placed a hand on her shoulder, giving her a firm but understanding look. “I know you want to take action right now, Steph, but you need rest. You haven’t slept well in days, and you’re running on fumes. Go home, eat something, and get some sleep. We’ll reconvene later, and I’ll fill you in on ever
Alpha's Regret 148
As the helicopter soared over the landscape, Chris peered out through the glass, watching the vast wilderness of the werewolf territory beneath him. Dense forests stretched out like a sea of green, interspersed with the occasional rocky hills and rivers that cut through the land like silver veins. The air was crisp, even up here, with the scent of pine and damp earth carried by the wind. Unfortunately he couldn't enjoy the scenario before him as danger loomed.He reached for his phone and dialed Alpha Kai’s number. The line buzzed twice before a deep, gravelly voice answered. "Chris," Alpha Kai said, surprise evident in his tone. "I didn’t expect to hear from you. Everything okay?""Not exactly," Chris replied, keeping his voice calm. "I’m on my way to see you. I need to speak to you in person—alone, with your trusted men."There was a brief pause on the other end. “Alright,” Alpha Kai said slowly. “I’ll make sure we’re ready.”By the time they reached the north of the werewolf territ
