Alpha's Regret 165
When Alpha Damien returned from his meeting with the council, Stephanie immediately sensed something was wrong. His usually confident stride was slower, his posture tense, and his face, though attempting to remain composed, betrayed the turmoil inside him. She watched as he silently made his way to the far side of the living room, standing by the window, staring out into the fading daylight.Earlier in the day, he had proposed to her, asking her to be his Luna once again. After some hesitation, thinking about all that had happened between them in the past, Stephanie had agreed. It wasn’t an easy decision, but her heart had never fully left him, and she knew they both needed each other to truly heal.But now, as she saw the shadow of frustration in his eyes, she knew something had gone wrong. Taking a deep breath, she approached him carefully, wrapping her arms gently around his waist from behind. "Damien," she whispered, resting her cheek against his back. "What’s wrong?"He didn’t a

Stephanie paced nervously around her room, wringing her hands together as she rehearsed her words in her mind. She had asked Chris to help set up a private meeting with the council, hoping to speak to them without Damien knowing. She didn’t want him involved in this. She wanted to prove to the elders, to the entire council, that she wasn’t here to cause any problems and that she didn’t hold Damien’s past mistakes against him.When Chris agreed to help, he too thought it was a bold move, but he supported her decision. Now, standing outside the council chamber, Stephanie took a deep breath, trying to steady the anxious rhythm of her heart. She wasn’t doing this for herself—she was doing it for Damien, for their family, for the future of the pack.When the doors finally opened, she was greeted with the cold, sharp eyes of the council members. Each elder’s face was lined with years of wisdom and aging, and the air in the room felt heavy with animosity. She could tell immediately that they
Alpha's Regret 167
As they left the building after the meeting with Stephanie, Elder Lucian began to speak. His voice, though calm, held an undercurrent of barely concealed contempt. "The time has come for us to face the truth. The throne of leadership cannot be simply handed down based on inheritance or nepotism. Alpha Damien has shown weakness—on more than one occasion." "And what do you suggest, Lucian?" Elder Mira asked, her voice was measured but intrigued. "That we strip Damien of his title? Is there someone more trustworthy who could challenge him for the throne?"The other elders exchanged uncertain glances, their discomfort evident. For all their doubts about Damien, the thought of actively questioning the leadership of their Alpha was a step too far for some."I don’t know of anyone who could take on such a responsibility," said Elder Simon, his brow furrowed. "Damien, for all his faults, has been leading this pack since his father’s death. Who else has that kind of experience?"Lucian's lips
Alpha's Regret 168
Alpha Damien paced back and forth in his study, his conversation with Stephanie still played in his mind. She had agreed to become his Luna again—after years of turmoil and distance, it felt like a victory. Yet the council of elders’ resistance still gnawed at him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that they were conspiring against him, and his patience was wearing thin.The knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. It was sharp, authoritative, the kind of knock that signaled a visitor who wasn’t there for pleasantries. Damien sighed, brushing his hand through his hair before calling out, “Enter.”The door creaked open, and Elder Lucian stepped in, his presence cold and formal as always. Lucian had been on the council for years, a powerful elder who wielded significant influence among the pack's leadership. Behind him, the door remained slightly ajar, revealing another figure lingering in the hallway—Elder Gideon, who Damien noticed, did not enter the room but instead stood back, his ar
