Alpha's Regret 157
Damien crouched under the shadow of a tall oak tree, watching the stillness of the Harvey pack’s territory. His breathing was shallow, controlled, as he observed the area with cold precision. It had been hours since the rogues had stopped searching for him, yet he knew better than to assume they’d given up. They were lurking, waiting, hoping to catch him off guard.But they wouldn’t.His mind was clear now, fueled by a rage so intense that it kept his heart pumping with renewed vigor. He had been a fool to trust Enzo, to let himself be blindsided by a friendship that was nothing but a facade. Ava's betrayal had already shattered a part of him, but now Enzo had stabbed him in the back as well, a man he had once called brother. And for what? Power, status... and Stephanie.Stephanie—his mate. The one person who had truly stood by him, and he had been too blind to see it. The realization hit him hard, an ache in his chest that went deeper than any physical wound. His daughter was still o

As soon as Damien reached the outskirts of the dungeon, he slowed down, his heightened senses on full alert. The thick, musty air hung around the dungeon, and the scent of damp stone and decay made his nostrils flare. He crouched low, careful not to disturb the silence, as his keen nose worked through the myriad of scents lingering in the air.Then, faint but unmistakable—Kayla. His daughter’s scent. The sweet, familiar fragrance pierced through the overwhelming smells of the dungeon, bringing a flood of emotions crashing through him. Relief, sorrow, anger—it all swirled inside him like a storm. But one emotion stood out above all others: love. She was still alive, and that was enough to rekindle the fire in his heart. He would get her back.He tried to mindlink her, willing his thoughts to reach out. Kayla… Kayla, it’s me. I’m here. Can you hear me? His heart pounded in his chest as he waited for a response, any sign that she could sense him. But there was nothing, just silence. The

Meanwhile, at the Harvey pack grounds, an omega teen, assigned to clean the pack house, stumbled across Mike and Victor's lifeless body. They lay cold and stiff, blood pooling beneath them. The teen’s eyes widened in horror, and before he could even process what he was seeing, he screamed at the top of his voice. “Dead! They’re dead!” he yelled, his voice echoing through the pack house.The news spread like wildfire, reaching Alpha Czar and Alpha Enzo within minutes. Czar was the first to react, his demeanor shifting into something cold and calculated as he listened to the report. Enzo, on the other hand, completely lost control.Enzo stormed out of the main hall, his face twisted in fury. “Who did this?!” he shouted, his voice booming across the pack grounds. Without waiting for an answer, he pulled out his gun, shooting recklessly into the air. His curses were loud and venomous, every word filled with rage.“Damien!” he bellowed, his eyes wild with anger. “I swear, I’ll kill him! I

"Czar, I owe you an apology," Enzo began, his voice low. "I acted irrationally this morning, let my emotions get the better of me. I overstepped my boundaries, and for that, I ask your forgiveness."Czar leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on Enzo. He was a man who had built his pack on discipline and structure, and outbursts like the one Enzo had displayed earlier were not tolerated in his world. However, he had always viewed Enzo as an ally, though unpredictable. He sighed, nodding slowly."Enzo, you need to learn to control those tantrums of yours," Czar said. "We are alphas. We don’t have the luxury of letting emotions cloud our judgment. You lose control, you lose everything. It’s that simple."Enzo nodded, visibly relieved by Czar’s measured response. "I understand, and I appreciate your being an ally to me. I’ve been learning a lot from you, Czar. Truly."The older alpha gave a small grunt of acknowledgment. "Good. Just remember, you don’t rule by fear alone. Discipline i

As Alpha Damien listened intently to the rogue, he could feel his blood boiling with each word. Enzo’s betrayal had been brutal, but hearing the details of how he had slaughtered innocent pack members without remorse fueled his fury even more. Damien’s jaw tightened, and he exchanged a look with Chris, who stood beside him with his arms crossed, his face grim.The rogue, an omega, was trembling as he spoke, his eyes darting nervously between them. "I swear, everything I’ve told you is the truth," he said, his voice shaking. "Enzo’s men stormed the hall, and we couldn’t shift. He used ashbane… We were helpless. They locked everyone else in the cells."Damien's eyes narrowed, he couldn't believe he had trusted and been friends with Enzo, his ambition was brutal and destructive. "Is there a way into the pack without being noticed?" he asked, his voice low and steady, but the edge in it was unmistakable.The omega nodded quickly. "Yes, Alpha. There’s a route through the woods, behind the

The trek through the mountains had been long and arduous. The harsh winds whipped against them, and the rocky terrain was unforgiving, but Alpha Damien carried Kayla the entire way, refusing to let her feet touch the ground. He could feel her slight body trembling against him, and though she didn’t say a word, he knew she was exhausted—physically, emotionally, and mentally.Finally, they reached a small settlement nestled in the valley. He knew of a hospital there that treated both humans and werewolves alike. His mind was already made up. Kayla needed to be checked, to be sure she hadn’t sustained any unseen injuries during her time in captivity.“Hold on, sweetheart,” Damien whispered as he kissed the top of her head, her small arms still clinging tightly around his neck. “We’re almost there.”The hospital was a modest building, tucked away from the main road, but it was clean and well-kept. As Damien pushed through the doors, he was greeted by the familiar scent of antiseptic and t

Stephanie paced the length of the room, her heart thundering in her chest as she wrung her hands together. Each passing minute felt like an eternity. The silence in the mansion was unnerving, and the only news she had gotten so far was a brief call from Chris, telling her that he was heading to the rogues’ pack to help Damien. That had been almost five days ago, and she hadn’t heard anything since. Every second of waiting gnawed at her insides, filling her with a crippling fear that she couldn’t shake off.She glanced at the large window overlooking the garden, hoping—praying—that she’d see any sign of Damien and Kayla returning. She had spent the days praying to the Moon Goddess, whispering pleas under her breath for the safe return of her family. But no matter how hard she tried to stay hopeful, her stomach churned with dread.Stephanie sighed deeply and turned her gaze to Caleb, who was sitting at the dining table, playing a game of chess alone . His face was pale, eyes dull and ti

The atmosphere in the grand council chamber was tense as Alpha Damien strode in, his presence commanding the attention of the elders seated around the long, polished oak table. He had called this meeting himself, eager to make an official announcement about his intentions regarding Stephanie, but as he looked around at the stern faces of the council members, he felt a subtle shift in the air—something was off. Taking a deep breath, he stood at the head of the table, his hands gripping the back of his chair as he began to speak. "Thank you all for coming today. I won’t waste time. As you all know, a lot has happened recently—my daughter was taken, and many have fallen in battle, but we came through. The pack is safe, for now. I’ve thought long and hard about the future, and I’ve come to a decision. I want to make Stephanie the pack’s Luna."The elders exchanged glances, their expressions hardening. A few moments of silence followed before Elder Gideon, one of the oldest and most respe
