My Luna, My Son, My Regret 84 - I promise you
Eloise’s POV:Staring at the door, I could still hear her. Could still hear her silent cries and small whimpers, and the faint sound of her voice calling out my name.It breaks my heart to know she’s suffered like this. All these years…No wonder she has never reached out to me. She can’t.And the part of me that was angry at her for not trying to get into contact, vanishes.“Eloise, I—” my father speaks reaching out for my arm, but I yank it off and step back, away from his reach.“Does anyone else know about this?” I ask.“No, just me,” he answers, “And now you.”“Why did you bring me here?” I whisper.Removing my gaze from the door, I look at him.“This is the reason you gave up being Alpha,” I say, realization slamming into me.Dad looks at me, surprised. “How did you know?”I heard one of the warriors talking about it on one of their breaks. When I heard my father’s name, I can’t help but listen.“Doesn’t matter how I found out.” I say.Dad sighs, “I brought you here because I th

Eloise’s POV:The sound of my beating heart echoed in my ears, pounding fast and hard I was afraid my body couldn’t keep up. Everything I thought I knew suddenly shatters before me. Everything…How did this happen? How could this happen?All this time I thought they had moved on without me.I should have been there.For her. And as much as I didn’t want to admit it, for Dad, too. Regardless of what he did to me, I can’t say I don’t love him enough to forgive him.I can’t imagine what he suffered all these years. Losing the pack, his name, me, and now, Mum. It was a miracle no one else found out about her, until my father decided to show me himself.Adeline stirs. She can feel my frustration and guilt as I navigated my way into the woods and the darkness. I was determined to make my way back, but I hadn’t thought of using a form of transportation with the chaos surrounding my mind. I look forward, my chest heaving as the thought of shifting consumes me.‘Are you ready?’ my wolf asks.S

Kaden’s POV:It was my first priority to follow where Viktor was planning to take my mate. After what I found out about his reaction to the scandal, I did not want to take any chances.Hell, if I fucking knew she was pregnant, I would have hauled her out of there with her kicking and thrashing on my back. There’s a lot I could have done…That is why I am dead set on setting this right.Being head of the city council, I cannot miss any of this shit. Instead of me, I sent Colton to follow her.He had just mind linked me and said they were in their old house.‘I thought she was in the hospital?’‘I thought so, too.’ replied Colton, ‘Probably an at-home patient?’I furrow my brows.‘Relax, she’s safe.’ He assures me.I internally sigh. At least I know she’s still under my watch. The last vampire attack happened a week ago, chances of running into one now was zero to none. The area is secured, and with Colton around, I can set my mind on this damn meeting.Alpha John was driving me fucking

Eloise’s POV:Once the other alphas decided upon themselves whether or not to make the challenge viable as well as its underlying conditions, they emptied the chamber and left.I could feel Kaden’s stare at me the whole time while settled on my father’s previous seat in the council. It was fun while it lasted. His irritation bled through his skin from the moment I accepted Alpha John’s challenge.Goddess knows how the hell I managed to dodge the glares he kept throwing at me in my spot. Even the other Alphas began strutting out when his aura has gotten stronger and stronger.I have to admit, his aura was strong. Perhaps one perk of being his ex-mate meant I was immune to his deadly gaze. And his scary aura.But my mind is too preoccupied with thoughts of my mother, who is now my main priority until I find a damn cure.I need to find out who turned her, how she was turned. Well that last part I have figured out from my father. I can’t help but feel guilty for everything that happened t

Eloise’s POV:My eyes blinked. Once. Twice.Then, I looked up at the man whose face I had slapped harder than I did anyone my entire life.But to my surprise and disappointment, the man before me had a different face from the one I was expecting.While Kaden stood stiffly right behind him, Colton was shoved a few steps back. He was rubbing his cheeks. His eyes are glassy. Why are they glassy?“Arrrghhhh…” Colton grunted. I could feel his pain even through his voice as he whined. I gasped, touching my lips that parted in my shock.He blinked back tears, “What the fuck?”I stepped toward him, attempting to touch him and he moved away. His head shook.“No, stay where you are, what if you attack me?” He sputtered and raised his hands in mock surrender. He lifted his teary eyes, the look on his face now reminded me so much of Kael with his teary, puppy eyes whenever he wanted something.I shook my head, when a sharp pain burst from my hand.Shit. My hand is throbbing. Just how bad did I hi

89Kaden’s POV:“Don’t. Speak.” She whispered, nuzzling closer to my neck before she flinched as another thundercrack came, causing her to squeeze my neck tighter.I gulped. I could barely breathe. However, if it means giving her the slightest comfort, I would gladly let her choke me to my death.I just find it shocking that this woman, my mate, is afraid of thunder.I have seen how her hand slapped Colton earlier, and that to me was scarier. Before I passed by him, I could still see the imprint of her hand she left on half his face. Horror filled me at the thought that the slap was originally meant for me and not him.Colton came to me moments after saying I owed him one. I couldn’t say no to the man. He looked in the brink of tears.His face looked like he was stung by a thousand bees. I had to contain my laughter earlier when he shot a murderous glare into my back.I shook my head, only to realize I could not move with her holding me in a tight grip. I sighed.Seconds passed. Still

90Kaden’s POV:She scooched closer, nuzzling my neck. I won’t lie and say I am not liking the way she clung to my neck like her life depended on it. But I also did want her to wake up in the morning and say I took advantage of her.I am not like that man.As soon as the rain stopped, I scooped her up. Every inch of my body hurt from not moving for hours, but the relaxed expression of her sleeping face was every bit worth it.Leaning over the passenger side, I adjusted her seat so that she could lie down. Then, slowly, I placed her down.“Hmmnn…” Eloise groaned, making me stiffen and I stopped. I was trying to buckle on her seatbelt when she grabbed my hand, rubbing her cheek against the back of it.I watched with my jaw clenched, while she inhaled a deep breath.“I like your smell…” she purred.I clenched my teeth. Fuck.Just as she leaned into my hand, sparks erupted from her touch. For a moment, my eyes flickered to my wolf’s. Rictus howled painfully within me. He wants to claim he

Eloise’s POV:I woke up groggily, clutching my head. I had been swimming in the most amazing scent and didn’t think I would fall asleep.I snapped. Wasn’t it Kaden’s scent I was nuzzling just now?My eyes popped wide open and I looked around. A breath of relief left my mouth seeing that I am back in the hotel. I clutched my hair, yawning, and froze when I realized something else.How on earth did I get here?“Nice of you to finally wake up.” Someone murmured.My head snapped to a scrutinizing Abbie sitting across my bed all ready in her training shorts and sports bra. I furrowed my brows, raised my head to look at the time.“sh*t!”I’m late!I jumped out of bed and practically bolted for the shower.Abbie’s hard glare burned into my back, but if she wanted to say anything before I departed she chose to keep her mouth shut.I took a quick shower, grabbed a towel, and threw on the first pair of training clothes I had stored in the closet.When I turned to put on my daily mascara and lip

My Luna, My Son, My Regret 155
I hear Kaden chuckle, but I ignore him. Thankfully, he does not say anything as we make our way to our table."Alpha, luna," an omega whose name I recall would be Vera, stepped toward us. Her head bowed in full submission.I resist the urge to roll my eyes. How many times do I have to say it?"I am not your luna, I'm--""Alpha Eloise," Kaden continues, looking at the omega with a firm gaze. The omega freezes and looks at me furrowing her brows."From now on, you will address her with the proper title. Do you understand?" His voice thundered across the hall."And that goes for every single one of you." He echoed, before a collective roar of 'Yes, Alpha' reverberated through the walls."I'm sorry, Alpha Eloise. It won't happen again," Vera cranes her neck, baring it to me in submission.I nod to her, "It's alright. You may go."When she left, I catch her glance back at me. But I was already looking at Kaden, mesmerized."Thank you," I tell him, and he smiles."You are an alpha first, th
My Luna, My Son, My Regret 154
Eloise’s POV:“Let’s go.” I look at his hand, then take it, allowing him to lift me to my feet before we walk out the door, side by side. My heart felt light and warm with his hand wrapped tightly around mine.“Where are we going?” I ask him, and a smile curls on his lip.“Don’t you want to see your friend?”My eyes lit up at the mention of Abbie. I have been worried about her, and the conditions she is in when Kaden opens a door just to my right.Kaden gestures me to enter so I did, and the moment I reach a few steps my eyes caught sight of Abbie.“Abbie!” My breath caught in my throat as I practically make a beeline straight towards her on the bed. To my surprise when I walked in, she’d been squinting at the huge TV, in her hand a remote and had been switching the channels with a deep frown on her face.“Oof,” she blew out a breath as our chests collided. “Eloise, you’re squishing me,” she grunts, and I immediately let go of her before looking her up and down, checking for any kind
My Luna, My Son, My Regret 153
153Eloise’s POV:Kaden promised to let me see Abbie, on one condition. I have to meet with my father and get him to let me see Mum.“How do I know you won’t hurt her?” I ask, searching his eyes. I want to know.Kaden pins me with his dark gaze, and slowly he lifts my chin to meet his orbs. They had turned pitch-black which means his wolf has surfaced.“He won’t.” a deeper, huskier voice rasps, making me gasp. It was his wolf speaking.Dark, dangerous eyes peers into me, leaving a burning sensation down my spine. A familiar feeling.“What’s your name?” I ask, looking at his wolf. I have barely seen him in action, and my wolf’s growing curiosity at what he looked like was killing her inside.“Rictus,” he says his name was, as he looks at me like he wants to devour me whole.‘Gladly. Hell, I’ll even offer myself up to him,’ Adeline snorts, and I roll my eyes at her comment. Horny-ass wolf.“I promise you, my human may appear all tough and stubborn, but he’s kind and wants to protect you
My Luna, My Son, My Regret 152
Kaden’s POV:I wipe the tears from her eyes. The hurt flashing across them tells me I may not be the only one who feels regret. We both made mistakes. But now, all I want is to gain her full trust. I want to show her I can be her mate, to support her, protect her, and love her all the days of my life. I want to give my life to her and our pups if that means keeping them safe.“I will protect you, protect our pups.” I say with determination and promise, “That is,” I lean down and move closer until our foreheads press together, “If you let me?”Eloise slowly lifts her head, staring up at me and searching for even the slightest hesitation in my eyes. But I could feel her own fade away as she bit her lip, and damn, did I want to crash mine against hers.“Okay,” she finally says.One word. Soft. Fragile. But it shatters me inside out like a damn grenade.I exhale shakily, pressing my forehead harder against hers, memorizing this moment because I know it’s everything. It’s Eloise, my Eloise
My Luna, My Son, My Regret 151
151Eloise’s POV:The sight of him being vulnerable, losing control beside me makes my heart clench. As I watch his lower lip tremble, I couldn’t help but feel guilty. It felt like stealing a part of his life. One I can never give back.A lump forms in my throat. I swallow, instantly feeling the dryness of it in my tongue as I drown in my own guilt.“They’re beautiful,” he says finally, his voice hoarse. “F*cking beautiful,” he chuckles, wiping the tears off his face as if to get a grip.I nod, “They are,”Kaden takes his eyes off the screen for a minute and looks at me. I bite the inside of my cheeks, holding his gaze. There is an intensity in it that made knots in my stomach. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.Until he rips his gaze away and I let out a breath.“Are there more?” he asks, in a gut-wrenchingly polite way. His eyes move between our triplets back and forth.I press my lips in a line, and we both focus on the screen before I show him other pictures of them growing up
My Luna, My Son, My Regret 150
Eloise’s POV:We make our way back to the grounds. I’m relieved Kaden at least saw through the wolf for who he is. A man, and for years, he’d been lost after losing his mate and unborn pup. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how he felt that day, when the rogues clamped their teeth around her belly and ripped it out of her. Even now, outside that memory, I can see it. All the blood, and his hands covered in Maya’s blood and his unborn pup’s, makes my heart break.I couldn’t imagine my life without my pups. They are everything, and I would give my last breath for them in a blink.Still, the anguish and excruciating pain he felt was devastating. He lost everything, and I couldn’t help but feel, in some way, how it must have felt for Kaden.I glance at Kaden walking by my side. He had been awful silent for a while ever since Walter shifted. I noted the shock on his face, but his lips had been sealed shut.Logan left to run some errands, but before he left he winked at me and smiled, earnin
My Luna, My Son, My Regret 149
Kaden’s POV:Eloise’s body is flush against mine. I could feel Logan’s piercing gaze glare holes into the back of my head, but he’s the last thing I should worry about right now. I’ve just witnessed my mate search through a rogue’s memory, which is near to impossible, unheard of. I can tell by the way her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Also by the way the wolf whimpered and his eyes flicker like his life had flashed before him. And also because Rictus told me.But how could this be? Even Rictus have no idea. But something else stirs inside me, unsettled.Eloise sobs into my chest. Her body shaking uncontrollably.I lift her chin with my finger, whispering sweet nothings into her ear before she lifts her eyes, locking onto mine.“Tell me,” I rasp, “What did you see?”Her bottom lip quivers before she finally speaks, and proceeds to tell me everything. Apparently, this wolf right here is beta to some unknown pack. And her pregnant mate was attacked by rogues who had the unquenchab
My Luna, My Son, My Regret 148
Eloise's POV:Kaden slits his eyes and looks at me, "Eloise," "No." I glue my feet to the ground, letting him know I am not going anywhere until he listens.Why does he want me to leave so bad?"You have to listen,"Kaden moves his gaze between me and Logan who tosses a knowing smirk my way.Kaden sighs, "Fine." He grunts.Logan gives me a nod, and I turn back to the wolf, Walter.I extend my hand, slipping it between the bars which inevitably elicits a growl from Kaden. I shoot him a glare and he does not move, but his eyes are glued to my hand, preparing for the worst.Before I can place my hand on the wolf's fur, he leaned forward, pushing his forehead onto my hand instead. The moment my fingertips brushed his fur, my eyes roll to the back of my head as I am transported to a place where my feet is rooted to the grass. I felt my soul leave my body as visions began to flash before my eyes in nanoseconds, but I feel as if I am right there.I blink, opening my eyes slowly. When I look
My Luna, My Son, My Regret 147
Eloise’s POV:The cells is probably the filthiest place in the pack house. While everything above these old cages are filled with luxurious pieces from floor to the damn ceiling, everything down here gathers dust and filth. What’s more, I feel like the prisoners here were plucked and tossed into the pit of the abyss, never to be seen or heard from again. And it reeks of blood and feces that can never be seen clearly as not a single ray of sunlight touches these dark cells.Is this what the rumors were all about when they labeled Kaden as the notorious, merciless alpha ever known?I can’t believe this. I can’t believe him.I step towards the cell Logan has brought me to see, and I duck my head to see the same wolf who took my side unexpectedly that day I was attacked in the forest.“Hello,” I speak out, trying to reach him. He was still in wolf form, curled up facing the far wall.“Can I talk to you just for a second?” As my eyes focus on his form, I furrow my brows when I see blood co
