REGINA

You have to be kidding me!

“I don’t really understand, I’m sorry…” I truly didn’t get it. “You mean Lionel had the nerve to tell you to come here and tell me to my face that I should come work for Sun Entertainment?”

Frankenstein sighed heavily, unsure of how to make any sense of it either. “He’s a complex man.”

“Frank, you were there. You saw what he did – how he humiliated me in front of everyone and sent me out. Like what in the world makes you think I would just want to return and waltz back into Sun Entertainment, pretending like nothing ever happened?”

“Look, Regina. I don’t even understand what is going on between you and Lionel. It seems so twisted.” Frankenstein was saying.

“There is nothing going on between the both of us!” I yelled. “There’s nothing that seems twisted, whatsoever. Lionel should simply leave me the fuck alone!”

“Yes, but for some reason, he doesn’t want to have you anywhere around but doesn’t want you progressing somewhere else. It’s this hate that’s

    REGINAI eventually made up my mind and chose to give Frankenstein a chance at getting away from Lionel’s schemes.When Monday finally arrived again, I was all ready to set out for Sun Entertainment. I stopped at Gwen’s place at first. She wasn’t so happy to see me and the reasons were quite obvious.“You really want to do this?” She asked me quietly.“I’m aware I have the option of focusing on just myself and ignoring whatever Frank had to say, Gwen, but I cannot choose that option.” I replied calmly. “I won’t be at rest knowing that Frankenstein had to suffer, and it was all my fault.”“It was not your fault – it’s all his!” Gwen replied.“I’m his target and he knows just what he’s doing. He knows I cannot leave Frankenstein to the dust which is why he’s using him to get to me.” I replied.“So, in other words, Lionel is winning this.” Gwen scoffed.“You shouldn’t see it that way, Gwen. He’s not winning anything. I just need to begin, like I’m actually a part of it, then I’d get the

    LIONELRyker was going to be fine – at least that was what the doctors said. I saw him before I left that night. He was still unconscious, calm and quiet. Just watching from the distance, I felt my heart thumping harshly within me.“We shouldn’t have done this, Lucius…” I growled. “Ryker is my beta.”I am not just any wolf, Lionel… I heard Lucius growl back. Ryker suddenly attacked us – what had to be done had to be done. If there is anyone to direct the blame to, it should be yourself. I felt the anger welling through me as I ran my fingers crazily through my hair. “I don’t understand. I should blame myself? I wanted you to stay put and you just took control and did what you wanted!”Still, all these is your fault, Lionel. Search deep and you’ll see where you should blame yourself.“What the hell are you saying?” I gave it a thought. Search deep…Truly, this was Regina’s fault. If I wasn’t to blame Lucius, then I should blame Regina for whatever she did or said to Ryker that turned

    REGINASomehow, the way Frank had rained the girls with insults lightened my mood as I laughed at his illustrations. “I’d go through the script, Frank.” “Look, Regina… I do not care whether it’s Beatrice doing the lead role or not. All I know is that there’s something I see in you. I know what you’re capable of, and even when someone or something is trying to obstruct that light, you keep flaming beyond. I don’t want you to take this project with levity but put in all your best, Regina. There’s something big coming from it and I can feel it.” I could hear the sincerity in his voice and nodded now. As I made my way back that day after running a little script analysis with him, I came across Beatrice, waiting by the road with Igea and the last nameless piece of shit I didn’t give two fucks about. “Hey!” Beatrice called out to me as she marched forward. “What is this? Aren’t you shameless enough? You’ve been kicked out of this place fo

    LIONEL“You know, you never had to bring me back to this hell hole you call a company…” She mentioned now.I chuckled. “So what do you want, Donovan? Want to run off and be free? Enjoy your career somewhere far away? Say Costa Ville?”I could see the hurt in her eyes from my words and I only found myself enjoying every bit of it. I drew closer to lay emphasis on my words.“Well, let me make it clear to you, Regina… That’s not exactly how this works. Wait, were you thinking your father was going to fix you into my life, mate you with me, and while I’m all bound to you, you get to go out there and live your dream life of some award-winning actress?” I chuckled. “No, Regina… No. If he chose to mate you to me, then he chose to mate everything that has to do with you…”“I didn’t ask for any of these…” Regina replied as she slowly began to back away from me while I drew closer, seeing her as a prey and nothing more; a poor, whimpering, quiverin

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Face Off Continues

    REGINAI felt as if I was in a war, fighting with everything I had, but I was losing. Somehow, I kept going through the circles of our argument finding a way to either make sure Lionel is shamed for what he had done, or I find a way to end the marriage and walk away smoothly. Either way, it was like he just kept playing his cards right, trying to put it all on me and have me carry the cross.Then here he was, asking me to run away like Marcy did to bring shame to my pack and endanger everyone of us. Did I think I was that much of a fool?“I am not running, Lionel.” I made the point clear again. “I will remain here until I find a way to cut you off my life for good, so you don’t go on sending some little spy to monitor my life, pretending to be a friend when he’s just an informant to you!”I saw a new flame in his eyes and knew another topic was to begin, one that clearly had him flaming up in anger before we even started.“What had you sa

    LIONELIt felt like coals of fire were rained on my head.I wanted to grab her, tear her apart and devour her until there was nothing left. Who the hell did she think she was? Was she doing it all on purpose? Was she just trying to get on my nerves to bring out a part of me I didn’t want her to see?Well, she was to be right out thankful that she didn’t get to see that part of me indeed, because she may have not been so lucky as to walk out alive.I could hear Lucius from within me now as I paced just after she had the guts to walk out on me.“Don’t worry, Regina. Our game just began. You think you hate me, but you’ve not seen the part of me that would awake the hate in you.” I growled to myself.I heard Lucius snicker. It’s your fault. He said in my thoughts.I bit my lower lip. “Lucius, please… Don’t make it get any worse than it already is.”Yes, it’s your fault and that’s why you’re so disturbed. That’s why

    REGINAGwen had to hear just how it had gone. I headed for her house as soon as I was done for the day but Frankenstein met me first. “Gina… what in the world was happening there with the boss?” He asked. I realized just then. He had heard the entire argument or maybe he just heard bits of it. “What happened there was what should have happened a long time ago.” I replied. “Someone needed to begin to tell Lionel the truth.”“You could be putting us all in a deep mess, Gina. Do you know how dangerous it could be if Lionel takes it up against us? For me, I may lose a career. But you… you’re about to become his mate. Things could become much worse for you!”“I don’t really care anymore, Frank. Lionel needs me to be around to make my life a living hell just as he plans. I’ve gotten to understand this but I refuse to give him my feelings free of charge. I’d have to hold up against him sometimes as well.”“Have you tried working things out with him… I mean… considering the relationship be

    LIONEL For now, I was good with the peace I felt. Maybe it was the fact that I was able to relieve myself as a wolf and direct my frustrations at something or I had met Grandpa and as usual, he had a way of making things look alright at my most taunting moments. I stayed through with him that night, watching the sun set, the moon take over and then all the stars began to take shape. Soon, I could tell that Grandpa was already feeling sleepy. “You should go in and take some rest.” I mentioned. He shrugged. “Yeah… yeah. I'll go to sleep now.” He replied as he turned to make his way inside. “You’re not a bad person, Lionel. You know this, right?” He suddenly asked. I was not sure what he meant but I nodded. I joined him inside soon enough and before I knew what was up, it was daybreak. There were several official stuff to handle but my mind was right there - on Sun Entertainment. I didn’t want to see her, not exactly… not after the extremely annoying encounter we had the previous d

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Where I Belong

    REGINA I made my way to Marcy’s room shortly after seeing Lionel. She looked so small lying there, her face pale but serene. Her hands rested on her swollen belly protectively, even in her sleep. My heart clenched at the sight of her. The sister I had thought I’d lost forever was here again, and despite everything we had endured, there was hope. Then I thought of the tragedy that had befallen her—of Silas and everything else. Victor had indeed taken more than we could imagine. “Marcy,” I whispered as I approached her bed. Her eyes fluttered open, groggy but quickly filling with recognition. “Regina?” she murmured, her voice hoarse. I nodded, tears already welling up. “It’s me.” She eased into a smile. “I just knew you could do it. I just knew you could. You’ve always been just too strong.” I laughed as I planted a kiss on her forehead. “How’s the b

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel     A New Dawn

    LIONEL The first thing I noticed was the sterile smell of antiseptic. My body felt heavy, but the softness of the hospital bed was comforting. Slowly, I blinked my eyes open. Regina’s face came into focus. Her hair was slightly disheveled, dark circles shadowed her eyes, but she was the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen. Her hand rested on mine, her touch grounding me. “Lionel,” she whispered, her voice filled with relief and tenderness. Tears welled up in her eyes as she leaned closer. “You’re awake.” I managed a weak smile. “Hey…” Before I could say more, Grandpa appeared by her side, his face a mixture of concern and relief. Ryker and Gwen were there too, their expressions lighter than I’d seen in days. “You gave us quite the scare, kid,” Grandpa said, his gruff tone unable to mask the emotion in his voice. “Victor?” I rasped, the memories of the fight f

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Showdown

    REGINA “No,” I whispered, cradling Lionel closer. His breathing was shallow, his usually vibrant eyes clouded with pain. Victor stood a few paces away, lowering his weapon with a chilling casualness. “You should've just cooperated with the plan, Regina.” He chuckled disdainfully. “You and that pathetic excuse of an alpha.” “Don’t you dare!” Marcy’s voice cut through the tension, and I turned just in time to see her charging at Victor. “Marcy, no!” I screamed, but it was too late. Victor swatted her away like she was nothing, sending her flying into the side of the truck. She hit the metal with a sickening thud, collapsing in a heap. My mouth dropped open, my scream coming uncontrollably. “Stay down, girl,” Victor sneered, turning his attention back to me. I froze, my arms tightening protectively around Lionel. Every instinct screamed at me to fight, but my b

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Let’s End This

    REGINA I and Marcy had been together in the room, waiting, when we heard the sounds of the war going on outside the building. Lionel was here. At first, a feeling of joy and assurance rushed to me, but almost immediately, a certain panic rushed through me when we had waited for quite long enough and Lionel was yet to show up. “Are you sure he’s still okay?” Marcy asked, the fear in her voice evident. “He is okay.” I replied with all certainty. “Nothing could happen to Lionel!” Then the men suddenly stormed in, barking orders. Marcy and I rose hastily and followed the men down the corridors, all the way to the back of the warehouse. Soon, we were out in the dark and there was nothing but the dim lights of the moon to guide us through. I could still hear the faint buzz of war on the other far end of the building. Axel led the group of Victor’s men, his expression unreadable, but

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Final Confrontation

    LIONEL His taunting words drove me mad, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing me fall apart. I clenched my jaw, focusing on my breathing as I adjusted my stance, preparing for the next round. But Victor wasn’t done. He was playing with me, like a predator toying with its prey. He danced just out of reach, circling me, his every movement calculated, precise. “You know, Lionel,” he began. “I’ve always admired your strength. But strength doesn’t mean anything when it’s built on lies. Your so-called ‘perfect love’ with Regina? It’s a joke. You’re both weak, just like your parents were. Too sentimental. Too tied down by your pathetic little bond.” His words struck harder than any blow he could throw, reminding me of all the mistakes I’d made, of all the things I’d failed to protect. The past kept clawing at me, refusing to let go. I roared in fury, charging toward him once more, but this time, I cou

    LIONEL All I needed was a location and just that, Arturo had provided. Another site, another holding of Victor’s. Even if it meant going to a hundred locations this same night, as long as I was not dead, I was going to set my eyes on Regina and there was nothing that could be done to change that. As we drew closer to the warehouse where Regina was supposedly held, we knew better than to just storm our way in. We needed to maintain a low profile. The warehouse loomed ahead, its corrugated metal walls dull and rusted under the dim glow of the moonlight. A faint chill ran down my spine as I scanned the perimeter. This was the place. I could feel it in my gut. Regina was inside, and I wasn’t leaving without her. Ryker crouched beside me, his face set in grim determination. Arturo and his men from the Eric Circle pack fanned out behind us, their movements silent and purposeful. Each of them carried

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Marcy’s Story

    REGINA “You already know how it started,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I refused to marry Lionel. I couldn’t. Not when my heart belonged to Silas.” I nodded, memories of that time flashing through my mind. Marcy had always been the rebellious one, the sister who defied tradition and sought her own path. “When I ran away with Silas, we thought we’d left everything behind,” she continued, her voice growing steadier. “We crossed borders, traveling from pack to pack, always looking over our shoulders. But eventually, we found a place where we could be safe, a small pack in a distant country. It was nothing like home, but it was ours. We built a life there, Regina. A happy life.” Her lips quivered, and I could see the love she still held for Silas shining in her eyes, even through her grief. “We planned to come back one day,” she said, her voice cracking. “To face

    REGINA I awoke slowly. “Regina?” The voice echoed in my head, but the familiarity could not be mistaken. I knew I was captured again; alone, with no one to protect me, my heart aching in ways I couldn't even put into words. This time, not just for my own mistakes, but for my sister’s life as well. “Marcy…” I cried quietly. How? I lay on the cold, unforgiving floor of the dimly lit room, the rough stone scraping against my skin. The chains around my wrists felt heavier than ever, and my heart felt heavier still. It wasn’t just the physical pain that gnawed at me—it was the emotional torment of seeing my sister’s frightened eyes, the same eyes I remembered from our childhood, filled with so much terror. "Regina?" Marcy’s voice broke through the silence. Her voice was hoarse, trembling, as though she too couldn’t find the words to express th

    REGINA I could feel the cold metal of the handcuffs biting into my skin as the car jolted over uneven terrain. Victor’s grip on my life—on everything I cared about—was suffocating, his constant presence a reminder of just how trapped I truly was. Axel was beside me, silent, but I could feel his gaze flicking over me like a hawk, calculating and waiting for any sign of weakness. But I wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. Victor had been playing a game with Lionel. Each move designed to frustrate, each location a new dead end. I could tell it was wearing on him. His anger had become more pronounced, his impatience clearer. But it wasn’t just about the hunt anymore—it was about power, and I was the key to it all. The car slowed as we turned onto a dirt road, the thud of the tires against the gravel echoing in the small space. The lights outside flickered and then dimmed. I didn’t know where we were going this time,
