Alpha's Regret 149
Chris smirked as he shook Alpha Kai’s hand one last time. "Thanks again for your support," he said, a gleam of determination in his eyes. "We won’t forget this."Alpha Kai nodded. "Just be sure you hit Enzo hard. There’s no room for mistakes."With a final nod, Chris left five of his guards behind at Crescent Pack. “In case things go sideways and I can’t return,” Chris explained to them. “Coordinate with Alpha Kai. Stay sharp and be ready to meet wherever I instruct.”The guards saluted, their faces set with determination. Chris gave them a reassuring nod before boarding the helicopter. His next destination was Thame Pack, further north, but a good distance away from Crescent. As they soared through the sky, the landscape beneath him turned from the dense, lush forests of Crescent Pack to a more barren, rocky terrain. Thame Pack had always been known for its rugged environment, a tough land that bred tough wolves.Chris placed a call to Alpha Baal, the leader of Thame Pack. The line b
Alpha's Regret 150
After promising to help them rebuild their pack once the mission was completed, Chris left Thame's pack. As soon as the helicopter touched down on the familiar terrain, the sight of the Crescent Pack troops, already assembled and ready for the mission gave him hope especially after what he saw at the Thame pack. Alpha Kai was also waiting for him at the landing pad, a look of steely determination etched across his face. Chris approached him with quick strides, offering a brief nod before they clasped hands. "How did it go with Alpha Baal?" Kai asked, his voice low but firm, as they walked toward the pack’s war room.Chris exhaled. "Not good. His pack was attacked by wolf hunters just a couple of days ago. The devastation was brutal—scorched fields, burned buildings, and they lost some of their best warriors."Alpha Kai’s expression hardened. "Wolf hunters? This far north? They usually stay closer to the southern human settlements.""Yeah, they’ve gotten bold. Baal and his pack did

Alfred and the Eclipse warriors left for Knight Pack mid-afternoon as Chris had instructed them. He led the charge, flanked by some trusted lieutenants. The warriors moved in silence, the only sound the rhythmic thud of their boots against the soft earth. They knew what awaited them—Chris had briefed them thoroughly. The ambush was to be swift, and brutal if necessary, but they all hoped for a quick surrender to minimize bloodshed.By the time they reached the border where Chris and Alpha Kai were waiting it was already dark; the only light they had came from the full moon."You made it," Chris said, his voice low and steady. "Are the warriors ready?"Alfred glanced back at his men, each one standing at attention, their faces unreadable beneath the shadows of their helmets. "We’re ready. Just say the word."Chris nodded. "Good. Here’s the plan. We attack at 2:00 a.m. when the pack is deep in sleep. It’s the most vulnerable time for them. Our forces will advance from two sides—your me
Alpha's Regret 152
Alpha Kai stood in the room, his piercing gaze fixed on the beta, gamma, and the leaders of the Knight Pack who sat shackled before him. Their eyes avoided his, knowing that one wrong word could mean their demise. Chris stood to the side, his arms folded, watching intently. This was the moment they had been waiting for—the chance to finally uncover Enzo's plans and bring an end to his twisted ambitions.The silence stretched on, thick and suffocating. Alpha Kai took a slow, deliberate breath, stepping forward. His deep voice cut through the silence like a blade. "You know why you're here," he said, his eyes narrowing at the beta, who glared back with unspoken resistance. "We’ve already defeated your pack. Your alpha is nowhere to be found, and you have no allies left to save you."The beta's jaw clenched, his eyes darting around the room as if looking for a way to escape. He said nothing, but the tension in his body told Kai everything he needed to know. These men thought they coul

Alpha Damien and his men arrived at Harvey Pack around dawn. The silence in the pack lands was unnerving, this coupled with the earlier ambush at the mountains made Alpha Damien worry as he scanned the surroundings, his senses on high alert. Louis walked just behind him, his eyes darting around and uneasy at the calm within the pack. "Something’s not right," Damien muttered, suspicion gnawing at the back of his mind. "Stay sharp. This could be a trap." Louis nodded, signaling to the other warriors to remain vigilant, but before Damien could finish his warning, shadows shifted, and suddenly they were surrounded. Damien and his men drew their weapons, tense and ready, but it was clear they were outnumbered. From the shadows, Alpha Czar stepped forward, his face cold and calculating. He looked every bit the predator, a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes. But that wasn't what made Damien's blood run cold. Following him, like a ghost rising from Damien's past, was Alpha Enzo. “Enzo
Alpha's Regret 154
Alpha Damien stood there, he had never thought that anyone least Enzo would betray him. He struggled to process what Enzo had just said and what was happening. “We used to be best friends," Damien began, his voice low and strained. "Even if you wanted my pack, my prestige… I would have given it to you willingly. You never had to do any of this, Enzo.”Enzo sneered, his cold, calculating expression never faltering. “Your pack? Your prestige? Do you think this is just about some land, Damien? My ambition is larger than just having the Knight Pack. This isn’t just about power.”Damien blinked, taken aback. He had expected Enzo’s motivations to be driven by power and greed, but there was something more, something he hadn't considered. "If it’s not about the pack, then what is it?"Enzo’s lips curled into a dark smile. "It’s about love."The word hung in the air, Damien’s brow furrowed, confusion written across his face. “Love? What are you talking about?”Enzo’s eyes darkened as he stepp
Alpha's Regret 155
Enzo stood there, watching Damien's wolf disappear into the trees. His chest heaved with fury, his mind clouded by rage. He wasn't about to let Damien escape—he wouldn’t let him get away so easily. Not after everything."Get him!" Enzo roared, his voice hoarse with anger. The rogues hesitated, momentarily stunned by Damien's sudden transformation, but Enzo was already taking matters into his own hands. His fingers closed around the cold steel of his gun. Without a second thought, he raised it, aiming it at the retreating figure of his former friend. His hands were steady, his eyes focused, and he pulled the trigger.“No!” Louis' voice rang out as he threw himself in front of the bullet, his body acting as a shield. The bullet pierced through his chest, embedding itself deep within him. His body jerked as the impact sent him crashing to the ground.For a split second, everything was silent.Louis lay there, blood pooling beneath him, his chest rising and falling in shallow, labored br

Alpha Damien stumbled through the thick forest, his breath ragged and muscles aching from hours of running. His paws barely made a sound as he moved, his heightened senses alert to every rustle of leaves, every snap of a branch. The rogues were relentless, chasing him deeper into unfamiliar terrain, their murderous intent evident in the way they had pursued him without mercy. But now, as he pressed his back against a large oak tree, his ears twitched. The forest was quiet.Too quiet.Damien sniffed the air, searching for any trace of their scent, but there was nothing—just the earthy smell of the forest and the distant howl of the wind. It seemed the rogues had given up the chase, at least for now. Slowly, he shifted back into his human form, his chest heaving as he caught his breath, exhaustion hitting him. He sank to his knees, burying his face in his hands."How did I get here?" Damien whispered to himself, his voice cracking. "How did I become so blind?"His shoulders trembled, a

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
