Damian's POV:

Helen came into the room looking dejected and it was easy to tell how much the news of her son getting kidnapped had gotten to her.

I couldn't help but follow her every move with my eyes, noting how she pointedly avoided my gaze.

Several years had passed and she hadn't changed much. Her gait, the way she walked, it was all very familiar. But there was a different aura surrounding her now.

The air of the timid woman that would succumb to my every whims was gone. From the set of her jaw and her steely gaze, she would no longer take sh*t from anyone.

This observable changes I garnered merely from looking at her thrilled me. And I so couldn't wait to decode the new Helen, and discover what made her tick.

And when she finally met my eyes after I had issued my wish to leave immediately, I was not prepared to feel the primal urge rise in me to claim her, hold unto her and never let her go back to whomever the d*mn partner was!

Many years might have gone by, but the things

  • Alpha’s regret : The return of his rejected mate   Chapter 10 : Helen's POV

    As he drove closer to the house, there was this fear that I felt, I was scared that he was taking me to a place where I was going to get punished for running away. I felt he was bringing me there using my son as an excuse to cage me and to own me. It was a hard pill to swallow. I could not believe that I was back to the place I had run away from so I could be free. I did not feel okay at all, I stepped into the place and ran my eyes all over the house. It has changed a bit but it still had that old look attached to it and still had that old feeling as well. The park I had played in with my father and my mother flashed before my eyes, a lot was going on in my head. " Are you okay? We should go in" Damian said. I hated his guts; he thought he could control me or drive me around the place like I was a child. " I want to remain here for now," I said. " Why? You look tired" he said. I did not want to think that he was looking after me. I did not want to think that he cared about

    A knock came on my door, I rushed to it and opened it. " You are being asked to be at the main hall," one of the guards said. I frowned, why would it be this early? I checked the time and saw that it was not so early. I had to rush with my preparations. I do not like it here and I have to make sure I do this so fast so I can leave this place. I got out of the room and made my way to the big hall; I still knew my way around because the place had not changed much. I was expecting a different look but it still had that same old look that I left behind. I walked into the hall and I could feel the eyes of people that were there. I'm sure they were not expecting it to be me, the elders looked at me in wonder. The daughter of the man they had all agreed to kill was back, and this time around, it was their Alpha needing my help with what they wanted. They led me to the front seat. It was comfortable, but I knew enemies were all around me, and I could not afford to be so comfortable arou

    Helen's POVI was still reeling in shock from the doctor's news to me. I held the test results in my hands but still could not believe it.I was pregnant, I was really pregnant! This had been the reason for the weird way I had been feeling going on for some weeks now.“Yes ma’am.” The doctor beamed. “The tests do not lie.”The doctor was still smiling as I took my leave. He should have been used to announcing such news to people by now so why did he seem so glad about it?I found myself mirroring the doctor's smile once I got out of his office, clutching the test results so tight.I could not believe it. The father of my child was none other than Alpha Damian, our powerful pack leader. Alpha Damian for some years now had been desperate to have a child and no woman had been successful enough, but here I was now, bearing the good news.The taxi ride home had me lost in thoughts as the car flew past the road to the Alpha's house. It could be said it was my home also as I lived with the A

    Once I had taken care of the guest room, sweeping the floors, dusting and tidying up everywhere, I was finally able to think and cry. I locked myself up in the bathroom and let the tears flow freely.Just as I thought I now had a reason to smile, just as I believed there would be a splash of colour in my otherwise gloomy life, the opportunity had been snatched away from me. Someone else had been faster. Now Damian would have no reason to even notice me anymore.I eventually pulled myself together and rinsed my face at the sink, staring at my sad puffy-eyed face for a moment in the mirror just overhead before venturing out.When I stepped out of the bathroom at last, it was quiet in the house. The rest of the household must have retired to bed. I made my way to my own room which was just a small space with bare walls and the only few belongings I owned on this earth.I stepped into the space and reached for the socket. I switched it on and let out a loud yelp. Alpha Damian was on my be

    It should have occured to me long ago to do this. I had nothing to lose, nothing to hold me back. And I had no mate to hope on now that mine had rejected me.A couple of hours into the start of the new day and I was outside, holding unto a small bag containing the few possessions I owned, slung over my shoulders as I made sure to stick to the shadows of the Alpha's mansion, crawling stealthily away.The glow of the moon was bright as it was a full moon. The night was chilly and eerily silent as though invisible ghosts watched my escape mission with bated breaths, cheering me on silently to be victorious. This was a silly thought but it strengthened me.Once I got to the main road, I looked back at the looming mansion now a reasonable distance away from me. Every light remained switched off, and there was no commotion or loud voices coming from it. I hadn't been noticed. Yet.I should be on my feet, running away as fast I could, but I stood still, hesitating. Moving on was a huge step

    Kai dropped me off at Wolf-Thorne Police station named after the pack's name, Wolf-Thorne. It was a bright and clear morning as I gave him a goodbye peck and stepped out of the car to my work place, waving goodbye to my son in the backseat. Kai was going to drop him off at his elementary school which was still quite a distance from the station.Seven years had made a lot of changes for me. I had gone through training as a police officer, eventually getting promoted to a fully certified detective. And I loved my job so much being one where I got to bring the bad guys to justice under the law.I loved the excitement that a fresh case brought, be it a serial killer, or an unexplained suicide, or a suspicious death. The thrill that came with getting leads and getting closer to the end of an ongoing case was unmatched by anything else and when it was finally over, it left me with the feeling of winning a battle.Nine out of ten times the cases were successfully handled and solved.

Kai of all people knew the sorry life I had led in the Moon City pack. He knew the condition in which I left and that my son was their damn Alpha's child. He clearly knew that I had no thoughts of ever returning.“Why did you do that?” I demanded, struggling to keep my voice calm. “Why? You know how horrible that pack was to me so bloody why?”He sighed but he wasn't remorseful. “I was just being helpful.”“Helpful my ass.” I gritted my teeth in anger.“We'll talk later. My time is up.” And he abruptly cut the call, the bit about me having news of my own forgotten.Too right, we will talk, because who was he to make important life decisions like this for me, even when he knew my sanity was at stake.My sullen mood was easily noticed by my fellow officers but I kept mute, not willing to divulge any information.

    Helen's POV I was hyperventilating, struggling to grasp at my reality, to accept the words I had just heard. My son…kidnapped? No way. “How? Weren't you two home together? How the f*ck*ng hell did this happen!” I screamed. “We went out to get a little something for dinner. Then…you know how Alex can be, he ran off after some bird, turned a corner to an empty street. It all happened so fast, Helen. And there they were, in the same black van you cops have spotted several times. Like they had planned it and laid in wait for us. They - they grabbed him and threw him in.” His voice broke, unable to continue anymore. “But why him?” I uttered in a strangled voice. Why him? The rogues had only injured all other little boys so why had they chosen to kidnap my little boy in my own case?“I wish I knew, Helen.”“What about the note? How did a note come about? What does it say?”“They threw the note out as I kept running after them and sped away. I called the police to go after them and

  • Alpha’s regret : The return of his rejected mate   Chapter 8 : A Second Encounter

    Helen's POVThe guards at the gate received me immediately I arrived, already expecting me. I found a spot to park, beside a sleek very expensive looking car that I knew could only belong to one man.Alpha Damian. Dread pooled in my stomach. It had come as a great shock when Alpha Wulfric had told me that Damian had arrived and was waiting. Waiting to take me with him. They likely had already concluded in certainty that I would be up for their deal. I gritted my teeth. A habit I had perfected over the years. If not for the unexpected turn of events, if nothing had happened to my son, I would have been coming over with negative news. I got out of the car, walking up slowly to the big house, as a servant ran forward to meet up with me, and possibly direct me to where they all were.“Miss Helen Summer?” She asked. “The one and only.” I replied snarkily, causing a little smile to play on her lips.“Come with me then.” She turned forward.I took a deep breath as I followed after her.

    The journey from my pack Moon City pack, to the Wolf-Thorne pack where Helen had made a new life was a very short one. It was too bad that she had chosen such a nearby place to start afresh. If she had wanted to be out of my reach for ever - if that was even possible - then she should have travelled farther away. But all that didn't matter now. I had kept watchful eyes on her over the years. And now I needed her. And I wanted her back. The car pulled up in front of Alpha Wulfric's residence, the leader of Wolf-Thorne pack. The gates were opened for us and my Beta drove us into one of the designated parking spots. The sun was beginning to set, hiding beneath the thick clouds that overshadowed it, when we stepped out of the car. I looked briefly up at the sunset. I loved staring at the sunset. It made me feel peaceful and alive. But right now, there was an important task at hand.Alpha Wulfric received us warmly, offering us seats in his vast parlour. A little boy of about seven who
