Penulis: Beanie

Chapter 1

Penulis: Beanie
I left Windmere back then because of Leo.

My father believed Leo wasn't worthy of me, the rightful heir to the Alpha King.

But I loved Leo. So, I gave up my inheritance, hid my true identity, and ran away with him.

I never expected that our relationship wouldn't even last seven years. And now, I was about to leave him. And yet, returning to Windmere wouldn't be easy.

I recalled my father's concerned look when he opposed our relationship seven years ago. The memory left me unsettled as I closed my eyes, trying to summon the wolf within me and reconnect with my family.

Just as I did, an overwhelming scent of roses filled the air, making me choke.

Leo wrapped his arms around me from behind as he asked in a soft voice, "Did I wake you? It's still early. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

He didn't know that I only pretended to be asleep on all those nights he went to see Jasmin. I was actually awake, waiting for him to come home.

Lately, he'd been staying at Jasmin's place until morning. His entire body reeked of her strong rose perfume.

I pushed him away with disgust. "Go take a shower. You smell awful."

He sniffed himself and looked a little embarrassed before stepping back. "Sorry for ignoring your feelings, Mia.

"I know I've been seeing Jas a lot lately. Has that been bothering you? I'll spend more time with you for the next few days, okay?

"I'm sure Jas will understand."

I watched him walk into the bathroom in silence.

Since when did spending time with me require Jasmin's permission?

To outsiders, I probably looked like the mistress ruining the bond between an Alpha and his Luna.

He wore nothing but a towel when he stepped out of the bathroom. As he wiped the water dripping down his abs, he looked just as handsome and irresistible as the day I first met him.

Back then, I had sneaked out of Windmere for fun, only to be ambushed by an enemy tribe.

He happened to pass by and save me, who was all alone, and got injured because of that.

He took off his shirt for me to tend to his wounds, and the way the blood trickled down his abs made my face burn.

I quickly looked away, but he wouldn't let me.

"I saved you. That means you're mine now.

"I fell for you the moment I saw you. Be my one and only mate. You can stare at me whenever you want, okay?"

He caught me staring at his abs again before laughing and pulling me into his arms happily. "Baby, do you want to have a good look? Come on."

He became excited and took off his towel, but I frowned and turned my face away.

He was not the same man he was seven years ago. No matter how many times he showered, that sickly sweet rose scent wouldn't come off.

It made me sick.

Before I could push him away, a loud, urgent knock on the door interrupted us.

It was Jasmin's maid.

"Did you call a doctor? What do you mean she's suddenly not feeling well?" The moment Leo heard that Jasmin wasn't feeling well, he didn't even hesitate to shove me aside as he rushed to get dressed.

"She was fine when we were in bed just now…" Then, as if realizing what he just said, he paused and looked at me with guilt.

"I'll be back soon.

"Owen is dead. I'm all she has now. Just wait for me, okay?"

He never needed my permission or approval to go see Jasmin, unlike when he was with me.

He just expected me to wait for him indefinitely.

But I couldn't wait anymore. I wouldn't.

I smiled at him, and that was all it took to put his mind at ease as he walked out the door—leaving me and our son, Cayden, behind again.

He didn't know that I'd received news that he was planning a Marking Ceremony with Jasmin.

I closed my eyes and called upon the wolf I'd kept hidden for so long. Maybe this was for the best. His betrayal would make it easier for me to leave with Cayden.

  • Save Your Regrets for Someone Who Cares   Chapter 2

    I got in touch with my family easily. They were overjoyed, especially my father.The moment he found out he was a grandfather, he was so emotional he nearly cried. He wanted Cayden and me to return to Windmere immediately.Just then, my sleeping son mumbled softly in his sleep. "Daddy, you promised me…"It would be his fifth birthday in two days. Even in his dreams, he was holding onto Leo's promise to celebrate his birthday together.I gently stroked his sleeping face as tears welled up in my eyes.Just two more days…I wanted Cayden to leave without any regrets.But before dawn, a sharp knock on the door shattered his sweet dream.It was Leo's mother, Patricia Sinclair, sending someone to bring Cayden and me back to the pack.I frowned, knowing that Patricia had always looked down on us. To her, I was just some nameless rogue from an outsider tribe who got lucky when I met her precious son, Leo.And she didn't like Cayden either.After all, she thought that someone like Ja

    Cayden couldn't understand what had happened today. He cried silently in my arms and asked me if Leo didn't want him anymore and if I was the only person in the world who loved him.I held him tightly. "That's not true. Many people love my little hero."Grandpa Alex and Grandma Bella miss us very much. They can't wait to see you. Do you want to leave with me and go find them?"He hesitated, clutching the toy car Leo had given him last year for his birthday. "But… I don't want to leave Daddy…"I held back my tears and gently reassured him, "Daddy and Grandma Patricia don't want us to stay here. Do you want to call him Uncle Leo for the rest of your life?"He froze for a moment, then slowly put down the toy car. Tears welled up in his eyes as he pleaded with me, "Can I at least spend this birthday with Daddy before we leave? I just want one last memory with him."He refused to call him "Uncle Leo".I silently wiped away my tears and kissed the top of his head. "Of course, my love.

    Before leaving, I sent Leo one final message."Alpha Leo, Cayden and I are gone. I wish you happiness in your new life. Goodbye forever."Then, I deactivated my number and sank my phone to the bottom of the lake.…Meanwhile, Leo, who was still in the middle of the ceremony, felt a sharp pain in his heart.His eyes fixed on the message, and a terrible feeling crept into his mind.He called me over and over again, but all he heard was the cold, endless busy tone."What's wrong, Leo? The guests are watching!" Jasmin noticed something was off and urged him to finish the ceremony, but he threw the family ring to the ground and bolted from the stage, leaving her behind as he rushed toward the villa doors.The guards at the entrance immediately blocked his way."Move! I am Alpha Leo! I need to go home!"He demanded they open the gate, but the guards only exchanged uneasy glances."Alpha Leo, this is your home. Your mother ordered us not to let you leave until the ceremony is compl

    When Leo woke up, the sky had already dimmed into dusk.The room was cast in a soft, flickering light. He had been placed in our bedroom.The blanket covering him carried my familiar scent of vanilla, and the figure by the bed, with long hair cascading down like mine, was wringing out a warm, damp towel for him.Mia…A surge of emotion hit him, and he pulled the woman into his arms without thinking."You're back!"But the scent of roses snapped him out of his daze."Leo… I thought you weren't going to complete the ceremony. I thought you were really going to leave me!" Jasmin sobbed, burying herself against his chest."Don't worry, I already drove those wolves out! I'll stay with you since you like it here. You, me, and the child will live here together!"For the first time, Leo found Jasmin's scent unbearable. His expression darkened as he pushed her away with clear disgust."Get away from me! Your scent is revolting! Don't come near me!"He stumbled out of bed, scanning th

    Leo locked himself in our bedroom.He stared at the messages he had sent, messages that were left unanswered, all night long."No, my Mia will come back…"He heard footsteps approaching the door and stood up eagerly. He could already smell the familiar scent of vanilla that belonged to me even through the door. "Mia!"He threw the door open without hesitation and pulled the woman standing outside into a tight embrace. "I knew it! You could never bear to leave me!""Leo…"The moment he saw Jasmin's face, the excitement in his eyes vanished completely. His expression twisted into one of pure rage, devoid of any tenderness."Who told you to wear Mia's clothes?""How dare she wear Mia's nightgown? No wonder I mistook her for Mia!" He thought.Jasmin, caught in her deception, stammered in defense, "I just wanted something more comfortable to wear while taking care of you. This was the only thing I could find in the house…"Before she could finish, he shoved her to the floor, grabb

    By the time Leo had made up his mind to find us no matter the cost…Cayden and I had already arrived safely in Windmere, escorted by our family.It had been years since I'd last seen my father. But when he laid eyes on me and Cayden, he didn't utter a single word of blame.He and my mother simply pulled us both into a tight embrace.Tears streamed down his weathered face as he kept whispering, "You're home… That's all that matters. You're home."The great and mighty Alpha King of Windmere was nothing more than an old man who had spent years grieving for his lost daughter at this moment.I felt both moved and guilty.At first, Cayden had been timid, feeling unfamiliar with his new surroundings. But the warmth of my parents quickly melted away his hesitance, and soon, he was smiling again.After everything he had endured in Blazetooth Pack, he had grown so much.On our very first night back in Windmere, he looked up at me with determined eyes and said, "Mommy, I'll protect you f

    The next time I saw Leo was at the ceremony announcing Cayden and me as the rightful heirs.As the Alpha of Blazetooth Pack, Leo had no choice but to set aside his search for us and travel to Windmere to attend this grand event.Over time, while Windmere had grown stronger, Blazetooth Pack had lost its standing among the werewolves due to his incompetence.So, when Patricia and his relatives kneeled in reverence during the ceremony and then looked up just to see the ones they were groveling to were Cayden and me—dressed in regal finery, their eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing.Leo, however, was thrilled. He swept away the exhaustion from his face, grabbed my wrist, and shouted, completely disregarding the occasion. "Mia, I finally found you! You have no idea how much I've missed you all this time…"Before he could finish, I coldly shook off his hand.The towering guards seized him at once. "Where did this stray come from?

    Hearing Cayden's words, Leo was overcome with emotion and reached forward, wanting to embrace him.But Cayden smacked away his hand, which had been clutching my sleeve."But I have never once missed my father. Because my father died the day he denied my existence and stood by while my mother was beaten to the ground."Alpha Leo, as the third-generation heir of Windmere, this is my final warning. My mother is of the royal bloodline of Windmere. Do not insult her ever again."Take your pack and go back to your territory. Go live out your days with the Luna and heir you've spent all your nights yearning for."He took my arm and walked away without ever looking back, leaving Leo frozen in place.He collapsed to his knees and clutched his face as he broke down in gut-wrenching sobs.Perhaps he had accepted the truth that Cayden and I no longer loved him.We were no longer waiting.We no longer had any hope.That same day, he left with the wolves of Blazetooth Pack.They said the
