The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection Chapter 11: The Murky Depths And The King's Rescue
LAYLAAs I was plunged into the dark murky water, the shock enveloped me,jolting my entire body with the intense coldMy heart raced and I could literally hear each beat in my ears. I forced myself to open my eyes, squinting against the murky depths.I wasn't alone.A figure floated just inches away, his gaze fixed on mine. Before I could react, he raised a finger to his lips, silently signaling me to remain quiet. I didn't even need to nod—there was something about him that commanded my obedience.I heard footsteps crunching above, voices whispering anxiously as they searched. For something. For someone."Are you sure she was here?" A man asked." Yessir." Another reply." Stupid damn omega had no scent." A gruffy voice added.My heart quickened—I'd thought I was alone . Who were those guys?The voices faded, but the man stayed momentarily, as if ensuring it was genuinely safe. Then, in one elegant motion, he broke the surface, prompting me to follow suit, gasping for breath as I st

LAYLAAs we got to the Packhouse, I felt my breath hitch in my throat. The immense structure stood high against the bright sky ,its imposing presence both awe-inspiring and frightening. Each stone seemed deliberately placed to show respect, representing the might of its ruler—the Lycan King, Alpha of Alphas. I haven't taken my time to have a look at the Packhouse since I arrived, I guess it's the biggest I have ever seen and no Alpha could boast of a Packhouse like this one.I risked a glance at him as he dismounted effortlessly, his figure intimidating that I quickly looked away.He didn’t look back to see if I would follow, but I was expected to. His presence commanded fear and respect in me, that all through the walk here ,I was very quiet.Clenching my teeth, I stood aside , my eyes roaming and seeing the guards stationed at various places. I didn't see them when I ran out this morning.I felt my heart beating fast as I followed him, each step filled with a sense of worry about

DEL MORINO I stood looking out of the window on the moonlit night, I couldn't stop thinking about Layla. The vodka in my glass wasn't cold anymore, just like how my heart felt.My other hand rested in my pocket, a habit I'd developed over the years to hide my clenched fist.The memory of Layla's attempted escape simmered in my mind, growing my anger. I could still picture her desperate eyes, but I quickly pushed that image away. Weakness was not an option; not now. The punishment I had imposed was necessary—she needed to grasp the repercussions of defying me.As I thought about her, the memory of my late mate, crept into my thoughts. Layla looked so much like her that it was almost scary - they both had bright green eyes and dark black hair. It felt like fate was teasing me, making me remember the person I had lost."Your Majesty," a soft voice broke into my thoughts.I turned to see a middle-aged maid, her silver hair neatly arranged at the back of her neck. "Dinner is served, sir

DEL MORINO Dinner had been cleared minutes before I heard the sound of footsteps, heavy footsteps of the guards and something else which was light and the door was pushed open.I sat in my usual seat,draped in furs and arrogance, astwo of my guards practicallyshoved her forward. Laylastumbled, catching herself beforeglaring at them. I love that. If given the chance she had smack him on the head.She lookedworse, thinner than sheought to be, her cheekbonessharp and her eyes sunken and red which showed that she might have cried a lot. Thefire in those eyes, however,burned just as brightly as anything."Careful"' I growled at the guards."I didn't ask you to deliver herbroken."The guards muttered apologiestheir heads bowed as theystepped back. Not that I caredfor their excuses or for Layla My attentionwas entirely on Layla, who stoodher ground like a stubborn treerefusing to bow to the storm, she had even braided her hair.Nice."Leave us" I commanded with awave of

DEL MORINO It was raining heavily and the storm outside raged on,shaking the walls of my room.Lightening struck across the sky, illuminating my room in an instant. Itwas as if the weather shared thechaos inside my mind.I heard the thunder rumble even before I woke up with a jolt,drenched in sweat, my heart drumming in my ears, racing as if it could break free from my chest.It was the same dream. Thesame nightmare that had hauntedme for years. I wished it could stop but instead it continued stubbornly."Fay."Her name slipped from my lipslike a whisper, but there was noone to hear it. No spirits, nosaviors-just me and thememories. Memories I wanted to stop everyday but every night they reappear.I missed Fay. A lot. But the nightmares, I just wanted them to stop already. I knew one thing was fuelling them and it was my guilt , the power of not moving on was holding me back , feeding them every night. I rubbed my temples,trying to shake off the images which burned into

DEL MORINO The morning sunlight pushed through the tall curtains, castinga soft glow over my luxuriousroom.The cool morning air brushed in, making me welcome it all. I stretched lazily, a smirktugging at my lips. Last night hadbeen... entertaining. Tammy hadbeen eager to please, but thatwas to be expected. Women likeher always tried too hard, hopingto stay longer than l allowed.But right now, I'd no use for her ,just as I had no uses for other women I had met and slept with.I rolled over, expecting her to stillbe in bed. But my hand landed onan empty, cold sheet. Damn.I just hoped this was not an thief , not after dealing the other one who I'd banished.My eyes snapped open. Where had shegone? The twerp.I sat up and scanned theroom. There she was, by thedresser, standing in front of themirror like she owned the place.Anger surged through me. The audacity.She hummed to herself, herhands busy styling her hair intosome elaborate bun. The sightwas enough to a

LAYLA The guards were relentless, their hands like iron as they dragged me and the maid away from the room. My feet scraped against the cold stone floor, my heart pounding with fear and anger. I glanced over at the maid, her face pale and stricken with terror. She stumbled as they pulled her, her small frame no match for their strength.Behind us, the Lycan King stood tall,his presence commanding the room.He said nothing, not a single word,as they took us away. I looked back at him, my chest tight with desperation, but his expression was cold and unreadable."My King!" the maid cried out, her voice trembling with raw emotion.She twisted in the guards' grip, her eyes pleading. "Please! Have mercy! She didn't mean any harm! She-she didn't even know! Punish me, nother!" I said pleading on her behalf.The maid kept begging too, her voice cracked, the sound of her despair echoing in the corridor. I felta lump rise in my throat, but I refused to let tears fall.Del Morino's eyes fli
Last Updated : 2024-11-23The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection Chapter 18: The Banquet
DEL MORINO I stood before the gilded mirror in my chamber, adjusting the tailored midnight-blue suit that hugged my broad frame with practiced precision.The silver embroidery on the cuffs shimmered under the light, catching the glint of my one visible eye. My left was still hidden beneath the mask-sleek, black, and unyielding,as much a part of me now as my very skin.The mask made others uneasy. That suited me fine. Fear was a tool, and I wielded it as deftly as any weapon.With a snap of my fingers, my valet scurried forward, his hands trembling as he presented my onyx cufflinks.He fastened them silently, his head bowed as if afraid to meet my gaze."Enough," I growled. He stumbled back with a muttered apology, and I turned sharply, my polished shoes clicking against the marble floor.The banquet awaited. The same banquet I had conveniently told Layla was postponed.I laughed silently to myself when I remembered the shock on her face, I guess even Lord Thomas will be surprised tha

DEL MORINO The weight of our unsaid words made the silence linger. As her eyes scanned the document I had thrown at her, Layla continued to hold another sheets in her hands.At first ,she didn't say anything but I could sense that she was quietly staring me. I cleared my throat and poured myself a glass of vodka."What did you mean when you said your father despised you?"she asked with a softer almost hesitant tone I looked out the window and away from her. I didn't want to look at her while I was speaking—not right now, not with everything I was going to say. "You shouldn't mind." I said softly trying to end the discussion. But she refused to let it go. She stepped closer ." I do mind ." She said with a quiet sincerity in her voice that surprised me. " I want to understand."With my chest pressed against the weight of the past, I clenched my fists. I could feel the frustration and rage building inside of me. Bringing her into the turmoil of my past was the last thing I want
The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection I Apologized
DEL MORINO My room's thick curtains let in the morning sun but it didn't provide any warmth—rather it served as a stark reminder of the emptiness that engulfed me.I was even very restless and something like guilty gnawed at my heart I sat at my desk, staring at the unfinished breakfast tray. Like an iron vice, the weight of my memories pressed down on me, my hands also pressed down against my temples. There was a gentle tap on the door and I looked up."Come in." I said in a raspy voice. The door squeaked open and before I could say anything else , I perceived her scent and wondered why I was having her scent drift .I sighed and looked away. Layla took deliberate steps and bowed her head trying to avoid my gaze.I guess, she was still angry with me."Your new sheets." she said quietly as she put them down. She paused standing near the cabinet as though she wasn't sure whether to go or stay. " Layla." I called but her hand froze in mid-reach and she tensed. Her big unsure eyes
The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection Shadows And Secrets
LAYLA My hands were shaking with annoyance as I bounded out the back door. I still couldn't believe that he had poured the soup away just because he saw I and Adrian talking.What did he think we were even talking about? If the moon goddess wears stilettos or not?I could still hear Del Morino asking me to read him a document. I hissed in frustration.You really can't shame the shameless.After the gall to carelessly pour the soup I had laboriously prepared down on the floor and some of it pouring on my arm. Didn't he notice that I had been working nonstop all day to please him and despite been tired I went to the next pack because of him? Tears were on the verge of spilling from my eyes and my chest tightened with the sob that was threatening to escape. I needed to leave, even if it was just for a while, because if I spend one more minute here, I might remove that stupid mask from his face and give him a dirty slap. I was hurrying outside ,the cool evening air brushing my face
The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection A Bite Of Rage
LAYLA I shut the door behind me as soon as I left the kitchen. Anger flooded through me making my chest to heave. Why did he have to make things so hard for me?I wanted to cry.Del Morino had given me another impossible task just when I thought he had made the decision to behave normally and very kind to me.He was just the devil in disguise. I scowled at the he had previously given me: *Bouillabaisse. * A soup that until today I had never heard of. It wasn't just any bouillabaisse either, it was the kind that needed uncommon ingredients from the nearby pack or maybe two packs away from what one of the maids had told me. I muttered to myself as I strode over to the pack gates .Does he think I’m his servant or something? He enjoys torturing me even though he has all the power in the world. My legs felt like jelly by the time I reached the nearby pack.And I knew he had asked all the drivers to vanish into thin air .So I had to trek like I was going to the temple of the moon
The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection Chapter 26: Read For Me
LAYLAI rushed down the hall while holding a tray full of supplies for the Alpha. The sound of my heels clicking against the wood floors sounded throughout the silent hallway. As usual whenever I was close to Alpha Del Morino's office I felt like I had to be extremely cautious. The man was known for being a tyrant but I thought he was just intolerable. I sighed .He was standing right in front of me when I knocked on his door and pushed it open. His towering body made me look like a dwarf and there was no space for me to pass through. There was hardly time for me to understand what was happening before—*Bam!*. The carefully arranged jug, saucer and plate of and other items were all over the floor when the tray fell out of my hands. My jaw tightened as I gazed at the mess and then at the man who was the cause of it. Alpha Del Morino remained unflinching. He didn't even look remorseful, he pretended like he didn't see me. But rather, he raised an eyebrow and folded his arms a
The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection Chapter 25: They Remind Me Of Her
DEL MORINO I never planned for this stupid meeting, infact I was trying to avoid it at all cost and I had postponed it three times but today of all days, this two fools had found a way into my pack.There was a lot of tension in the conference room . I sat at the head of the table staring at the two men who were seated on the other side. Leaning forward with his arms resting on the table Beta Torren of the Darkridge Pack had a challenging look in his piercing eyes. Beta Lyle of the Emberhowl Pack sat next to him reclining in his chair and pretending not to pay attention but his keen eyes saw everything and on the mug of freshly brewed coffee he had requested and drank and still waiting for more but he didn't have the balls to request any because the scowl on my face couldn't let him.He was here for the meeting nit to finish all the coffee in my pack. As I waited for one of them to say something, the only sound
The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection Chapter 24: Sing Me A Lullaby
LAYLAI shuffled the pile of clean sheets in my arms and muttered to myself as I made my way through the twisting hallways of Del Morinos magnificent pack house. Even though being a maid wasn't exactly one of my dream jobs, at least I didn't have to put up with the women he usually walks around with tonight. I guess they are minor triumphs. I didn't actually like Del Morino's presence even though he was handsome and will have any kind of woman drooling over him. I stopped outside the door to his room while balancing the linen on my hip. I could see him leaning over his desk with a thick book open in front of him, through side of the door. His broad shoulders were tense as usual, brooding and his dark hair appeared slightly tousled as if he had been fingering it.I opened the door gently and stepped in like a cat and I placed the sheets on the tiny side table and hoped to blend in with the background and vanish without him noticing my presence.As badluck would have it, his dee
The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection Chapter 23: Serving Tables
LAYLA It was the singing of the stupid birds outside that woke me up. The sunlight dancing into the room and settled on my face.My eyes snapped open and what happened last night stuck me like a bad movie that had refused to go away.I remembered. I had gone to apologize to Del Morino. A brief sorry, a swift retreat and perhaps some freedom from my guilt were all that was expected of me. However no. What I got was the sight of him laughing carelessly while standing with another woman. His hand had been on her arm for too long and she had laughed too loudly. I shook my head and hissed under my breath as though that would help me forget the memory.. " Ridiculous. I dont care about him or how her feels. " I muttered .But even I found that lie hard to believe. I padded to the bathroom to take a quick shower after getting out of bed. Though the nagging irritation of remembering him and the woman persisted but the warm water helped calm my nerves. I hastily came out of the bathroom
The Alpha's Regret: The Luna Who Defied Rejection Chapter 22: Should I Apologize?
LAYLA Adrian's words kept replaying in my mind, filling me with uncertainty and fear too His calm and deliberate voice made me doubt everything I believed about my parents. But no matter how hard I try to doubt , I felt a part of me believing and wondering what part of my life was a lie or a mess too.The trust about Del Morino, about me. But not really. I couldn't accept it. It was so unbelievable. No matter what Adrian believed he knew or what he thought, my parents couldn't have caused Del Morino's mother's death or whatever he said, at least not in the way Adrian said. My parents were the Guidaians Of The Moon. They have killed rogues wolves . But murderers were far from it. It just wasn't pissed.I sat staring out of the window and my head began to pound. Maybe from thinking about all this too much or maybe from the slap Del Morino had given me last night. I didn't know, so I just shut my eyes and rested my head on the headboard I should have asked Adrian where he was goin
