Eloise’s POV:

The way he said the compliment made me blush, my face burning hot as he continued to stare at me without blinking. I was about to say something when I was saved by the bell when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

“Ah.” I quickly pull out my phone, pointing at it.

Dex raises an eyebrow and sighs, nodding his head so I answer it.

“Eloise!”

“Mom?” I gasp, my eyes darting to Dexter who started prepping the ingredients for dinner. Excitement bubbles through me as I have not seen nor heard of her for a long time. She sent me a text once, saying it would be too obvious if she contacts me right after I disappeared from the pack. Apparently, my father had been on a rampage looking for me, nearly turning the entire city apart to find me. It always made me goosebumps. The thought of being found by none other than my father terrified me to the core. My father would kill me, that’s for sure.

“Honey,” she starts, while I can’t help but smile just to hear her voice.

  • My Luna, My Son, My Regret   23 - Give me a chance?

    Eloise’s POV:His lips crashed against mine making me freeze, yet he deepens the kiss and I almost give in to it before everything within me screams that this is wrong and I come to my senses, shoving him away.“Dex!” I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand, and when I glance up to look at him, he looked hurt.“Do I repulse you that much?” he asks, taking a step forward while I take a step back.“What? No, Dex, of course not,” I pause, knowing I doubted that to be true. My entire body is shaking, and for the first time it feels as if looking at a stranger.He stops, and tilts his head. I could feel his aura pressing down on me like a dark cloud, and the wind was brewing against me.“Then why are you moving away?” he asks, and I look down to realize I have put a considerable gap between us.With a sigh, I move my gaze back to him.“Look, Dex, I appreciate everything you have done for us, truly,” I say sincerely, knowing I would not be where I am if it weren’t for him.I shake my head.

  • My Luna, My Son, My Regret   24 - You know you can still do it, right?

    Eloise’s POV:The drive took about four and a half hours going back to the city. I received a text an hour ago, and saw it was my mom. She was waiting in the hidden café, and Dexter had to take the lengthy twists and turns around the border to avoid getting caught and in turn, alerting the Alpha who I hear now owns the city—Alpha Kaden. Good thing Dex knows someone on patrol today to cover for us while we enter the city.Dexter opens the door for me at the café and I walk in. My eyes scan the room before I eventually spot my mother sitting near the glass window. “Mom?” I call out first once I got closer, and I’m pretty sure she heard the crack in my voice as she turned around. Her eyes glowed and widened when she saw me, and she stood right before crashing into my arms, squeezing the life of me when she gasps and stumbles back. Her eyes drop to my giant belly, and I watch her eyes become glassy.“Look at you,” she sniffles. Dex and I both look at her looking like she’s about to tear

  • My Luna, My Son, My Regret   25 - Did I just imagine it?

    Eloise’s POV:Mom laughed whilst I still can’t believe she said that in front of my best friend. Thankfully, she said no more of the matter and we spent the next hour eating lunch and talking some more. Leaving the café, mom insisted I go to the doctor for a check-up. I had thought about it, constantly worrying about my babies since it has been months since my last one, so why not? My mom happens to know a doctor who agreed to keep my results completely off the record in case one of Kaden’s spies happen to be snooping around my mom, keeping tabs of her tracks.Dex drove us there without complaint, always flashing his friendly smiles and I was relieved. It took us another two hours to get there, and when we did, mom introduced me to her friend, doctor Kim.She was in her mid-thirties, and looked rather friendly. After a thorough check-up, she congratulated me, announcing three healthy little babies are definitely on the way. Mom took the news pretty well, and even cried knowing she w

  • My Luna, My Son, My Regret   26 - You know you want to

    Eloise’s POV:The next few weeks passed by like a breeze. After that day, Dex has been sweet and loving towards me, making me wonder if I just imagined the whole thing, him shouting at me in the car and targeting my babies. Yet, his actions in the past few weeks contradicted what he said. Making me question whether it was just hormones, making me exaggerate everything I see and hear. Dex never raised his voice at me in the five years we’ve known each other. In fact, he even bought a crib, and we had just finished setting up a whole room for the nursery once they arrive. To my confusion, mom hasn’t called me since. It was so unlike her, since the last time we saw each other, she was so excited about the triplets. I wondered while I went about my day in the house while Dex was out running his own errands. He doesn’t tell me where he was going so I wasn’t sure when he’ll be back, so I set out to cleaning. First, I cleaned up the kitchen and vacuumed the entire place before doing the l

  • My Luna, My Son, My Regret   27 - Speaking of the Devil

    Kaden’s POV:“Alpha Kaden, is something wrong?” I look up and see Alpha John, one of the alphas attending this council meeting, furrow his brows, watching me. My eyes scan the entire room to see the other alphas had stopped to look at me, before falling on my beta who was leaning against the wall, a confused look on his face. My eyes flashed dangerously, and I grit my teeth. My hand shaking terribly wrapped around my glass. A little bit tighter, and it would break.“Yes… Yes, continue.” I mutter. Even saying those two words took much effort as I fought against my wolf. He wants blood. And he couldn’t wait. I tap my foot on the floor impatiently, pretending to listen to Alpha John go on about a new law forbidding first-born females to be alphas. I would listen some other time but not now. Not when I’m this close to shifting and tearing into every alpha I see.Sweat trails down the side of my face, and my jaw clenches. This isn’t good. I have to get out of here before I fucking explod

  • My Luna, My Son, My Regret   28 - Click. Click. Click.

    Eloise’s POV:“I’m done being friendly.” He spits before his fist punches me in the stomach.My mouth falls open, and I drop to my knees.Yet my knees didn’t touch the ground as he catches me, his lips colliding with mine forcefully while I struggle with the pain through my stomach. Panic fills me as I think of my babies. My hand instantly moving to cover my stomach before he grabs my wrists, pinning them above my head. His knees press between my legs, the sudden movement doubling the pain making me want to crunch over, yet he refuses to let me go. He buries his nose in my neck and inhales loudly.“Dex, please,” I beg as tears stream down my face, dripping down my chin. He doesn’t listen and instead, he began licking and nipping at my skin. He let out a lewd moan that made my skin crawl for good reason.From the corner of my eye, I see him pull out a white cloth, and my brows push together.“Dexter?” Another wave of panic settles in my stomach, that gut-wrenching feeling telling you

  • My Luna, My Son, My Regret   29 - Look at me

    Eloise’s POV:It was like a never-ending cycle. Not a day goes by without Dexter snapping photos of me, recording me and him while he makes me perform every sick fucked-up delusions he carved in his head. Every day has become a nightmare to me since that fateful night. Afraid he’d hurt my babies, I did everything he asked me of me. Anything just to keep them safe. Every night, his camera sits at the foot of the bed where I am strapped most time of the day, except when I ask him to use the bathroom. When I do, however, have to use the bathroom, I use it under his ever-watchful gaze, and without clothes as he prefers it that way.Each time he does, a part of me breaks, and my wolf once again disappeared after that night. The night she told me the truth about him. Dexter. It turns out it was him who spread those scandalous photos of me to the media, which in turn had be kicked out of my house, by my father and rejected by my mate. I should have known, I should have seen right through him

  • My Luna, My Son, My Regret   30 - Strong Alphas

    Eloise’s POV:The drive on the way was quiet. Too quiet. Dexter hadn’t said a thing to me in the past hour since we got in the car. Before getting in, however, my eyes wandered to the forest. For a moment, I thought I could make a run for it, but Dex was already watching me.“Don’t even think about it, El.” He says, his sharp gaze piercing into me, and I had no choice but to climb in without complaint.I thought about it, but I also knew what I would be risking. I drop my eyes to my stomach which is getting bigger and rounder by the day. After that punch, I was worried and felt that I needed to consult an obstetrician, yet I couldn’t bring myself to ask him. Maybe later, I will.Glancing at him, his eyes are on the road as he hums the same tune. A melody I have grown to hate. It was that tune I recall him singing the night of the scandal, and I knew it would haunt me forever.Each time I glance at him, I couldn’t help but stare. He seems happy, energetic even, yet everything he had do

  • My Luna, My Son, My Regret   121

    Eloise’s POV:I couldn’t even begin to visualize what my wolf thrust into my headspace.I never saw it. Not even after the one time he knocked me up. I was drunk!My legs shook dramatically, threatening to give out from under me. I must admit, the only thing holding me in place was Kaden, pressing me up against the lockers.His large, calloused hand went back to clench my thigh. His touch wasn’t rough but firm, and enough to send electrifying sparks all over my body while continuing to rub circles around my sensitive cl*t.I was panting, breathless. The only sound that could be heard in the locker room was my pants as well as his rugged breaths, husky and so damn attractive.My arousal still tinged the air and I scrunched up my nose. The scent remained and I feared it would stay here up until a week. Wolves’ senses are incredibly strong, but not without a downside. All the males will probably be smelling my arousal for a period and they can even tell who the scent came from.So what?

    Eloise's POV:CL? Who the hell is CL? My wolf growled, racking my brain for any clues behind the initials.I stared at the note blankly for a few seconds.Shaking my head, I stripped off my bra and leggings, and rummaged for fresh clothes with the note still in my hand before the sound of the door unlocking had me straighten as I thrust the note into my locker.Kaden Kyson walked in with a dark look looming over his face, his eyes scanning the room before falling on me and my near-naked body. His dark eyes took in my undressed state, and I grit my teeth as I shoot glares at him.I had no choice but to wrap my arm around nipples, preventing Kaden to notice how they became hard in less than a minute when he stepped into the locker room. I shifted in my barefeet.He likes what he sees… Adeline giggled at the back of my mind, making me shush her and roll my eyes.“If you haven’t heard, training is over.” I declared, shooting daggers at him.He clenched his jaw as he walked over to me, ign

    Eloise’s POV:No.No, no, no, no.I’m not going to ask for his help.Why not? My wolf grumbled.He’s our only chance.I shook my head.There is another way. You know what Dad said. If he finds out Mom turned into a vampire because I told him about this, he’ll kill her. Hell, maybe he’ll even conspire with the other alphas to kill us all, for protecting a vampire.I could feel Adeline’s hesitance, but thankfully she didn’t add anything more to it and retreated back into the depth of my subconscious.I groan, willing my heart to stop thundering like crazy in my chest.Anyone, anyone but him. Kaden Kyson is known for his mercilessness and power unmatched by anyone. Surely, he would not spare a turned vampire. Not even if she’s the mother of his mate.I tossed and turned all night, unable to forget everything that transpired from the black and blue bruises I saw on Dad’s arms and the mysterious guys who sauntered into the house like it’s their own.My father didn’t look like he was about

  • My Luna, My Son, My Regret   118

    Eloise’s POV:“Run! Don’t stop, don’t look back, run!”Dad’s voice boomed in my head just as I clamped my eyes shut, anticipating the closet doors to be yanked open when I felt cold breeze rustle through my hair instead.When I open my eyes, I blink. Once, twice, until I finally came to a conclusion that what I am seeing is real.I stood frozen at the forest just outside of my father’s house, my heart thumping harder than I remember as it threatened to explode in my chest.Panting, I look around and back at the house as questions filled the back of my mind.What the h*ll just happened there?And how did I even get out of the house before I could bat an eye?I don’t understand…It seems we were teleported here. Adeline finally spoke, however the words she just said was the last thing on my mind.Teleported? You’re not making any sense… I say to Adeline, who immediately fell silent.When it takes a while for her to respond, I turned my gaze back to the house and squint at the largest wi

    Eloise's POV:The man practically tried to kill you, El. Adeline hissed, but at this point, I’m not so sure anymore. I’m not sure because when I look into his eyes, all I see is the pain he’s hiding inside.There’s something more that he isn’t telling me. I can feel it. He’s hiding something, but I am yet to figure out what.He pulls down his sleeves, tucking it away and off of my sight as if thinking it would disgust me. But it don’t.“What can I do?” I choke, staring blankly at his covered sleeve.Then, determination surged through me as I glanced at the basement door where my Mum is locked. A weak thumping sound can be heard behind the door as if she was asking to be let out.Dad glances in the same direction, when something dawned over me.“I can help,” I whisper, staring off into the locked door of the basement.All my life, I never thought Mum would end up at such a place. Forced into a cage in our own basement… I shudder, feeling my heart tighten in my chest. So much so, I coul

    Eloise’s POV:Turning around, Dad marches back into the kitchen before he rummages every drawer. He’s avoiding me, that much was obvious.With a deep sigh, I step further inside the kitchen. My eyes following his jittery moves when he finally stops. He grabs something from the pantry and spins around.“Aha, there’s cereal. A good chunk, too. It’s not much, but…” he shrugs, and proceeds to rotate to snatch a bowl as I walked forward.I pick up the box of cereal he placed on the dusty island bar and scanned it for its expiration date. A frown easily fell on my lips.“This expired over a year ago, Dad,” I sigh, and he stops whatever he was doing to turn around to face me.His pale face turned whiter than a sheet of paper. His eyes looked defeated, and he slumps down on the stool beside him.“I’m sorry, El…” he croaks and hangs his head.He rubs both his hands down his rugged face, and I was able to glimpse at the tiny beads of tears that slid down the sides of his face from the corner of

    Eloise's POV:The run to my old home went by without a hitch. My senses on high alert, and I’m sure I would have picked up something if I felt something is odd.With my clothes between my teeth, I shift back into my naked form and quickly pull on my clothes. It is gloomy outside, and as I scanned the forest, I didn’t feel any presence. The track I have left was mine and mine alone, which meant nobody could have followed me all the way back.On my way here, I took a shortcut that only I knew without being spotted by the guards around my father’s territory. It’s a secret he taught me ever since I was a child, saying that if I ever needed an escape or emergency entrance to the house, I should use it.I did not use it to get in or out when I was banished, I didn’t feel the need to. Nor did I want to. It was clear he wanted nothing to do with me anymore, which stopped me every time the thought occurred.With a shake of my head, I knocked on the door.While waiting, I noticed that some of t

    113Eloise’s POV:Alpha John kept his mouth shut during the meeting.Adeline scoffed in my head.He made the right choice. She commented.I giggled, knowing she is right.Kaden gave him deadly stares the entire time, even when it was not his turn to speak. I found it amusing that the dark Alpha could influence the other alphas into submission. Well, despite the huge age difference. From what I heard, Alpha John is already over his forties. I won’t lie though, he still looked good. He would be more handsome if he wasn’t such a prick.Adeline snorted.Yeah, right. What are the chances for that?I shook my head when Kaden’s voice tuned into my mind.“In conclusion, training for the females will begin as early as tomorrow.” He announced. Then his eyes scanned the crowd, landing on mine. The moment our eyes locked, my heart stopped.“Any other questions?”The crowd fell silent. Just as I thought nobody was going to speak, the handsome bloke beside me cleared his throat.We all turned to h

  • My Luna, My Son, My Regret   113

    Eloise’s POV:He is fuming. Adeline pointed out, peeking at his reddened face through my own eyes.You got to admit, he’s more handsome when he’s mad. My wolf chuckled shamelessly and I rolled my eyes at her.I’m not trying to make him jealous. I defended myself. Adeline clapped back with a scoff.You know you can never lie to me, El. We’re basically one and the same. She prodded.This time, I did not pay my wolf any attention as I glued my eyes to Kaden’s face. His features, I noticed, had gotten sharper and darker.He did not even try to hide the fact he was angry with me for choosing a seat far from his side.“Hello,” the silky-smooth voice eased into my mind, and I raised my eyes.He extended his palm to me, “I’m Caleb, by the way,” he smiled, the man with light blonde hair who invited me to this seat.His eyes twinkled brightly and his smile reached his ears. It was contagious, I admit, and to think he was actually more handsome up close. There are specks of sky blue that surroun
