Alpha's Regret의 모든 챕터: 챕터 161 - 챕터 170

The trek through the mountains had been long and arduous. The harsh winds whipped against them, and the rocky terrain was unforgiving, but Alpha Damien carried Kayla the entire way, refusing to let her feet touch the ground. He could feel her slight body trembling against him, and though she didn’t say a word, he knew she was exhausted—physically, emotionally, and mentally.Finally, they reached a small settlement nestled in the valley. He knew of a hospital there that treated both humans and werewolves alike. His mind was already made up. Kayla needed to be checked, to be sure she hadn’t sustained any unseen injuries during her time in captivity.“Hold on, sweetheart,” Damien whispered as he kissed the top of her head, her small arms still clinging tightly around his neck. “We’re almost there.”The hospital was a modest building, tucked away from the main road, but it was clean and well-kept. As Damien pushed through the doors, he was greeted by the familiar scent of antiseptic and t

The atmosphere in the grand council chamber was tense as Alpha Damien strode in, his presence commanding the attention of the elders seated around the long, polished oak table. He had called this meeting himself, eager to make an official announcement about his intentions regarding Stephanie, but as he looked around at the stern faces of the council members, he felt a subtle shift in the air—something was off. Taking a deep breath, he stood at the head of the table, his hands gripping the back of his chair as he began to speak. "Thank you all for coming today. I won’t waste time. As you all know, a lot has happened recently—my daughter was taken, and many have fallen in battle, but we came through. The pack is safe, for now. I’ve thought long and hard about the future, and I’ve come to a decision. I want to make Stephanie the pack’s Luna."The elders exchanged glances, their expressions hardening. A few moments of silence followed before Elder Gideon, one of the oldest and most respe

Stephanie paced nervously around her room, wringing her hands together as she rehearsed her words in her mind. She had asked Chris to help set up a private meeting with the council, hoping to speak to them without Damien knowing. She didn’t want him involved in this. She wanted to prove to the elders, to the entire council, that she wasn’t here to cause any problems and that she didn’t hold Damien’s past mistakes against him.When Chris agreed to help, he too thought it was a bold move, but he supported her decision. Now, standing outside the council chamber, Stephanie took a deep breath, trying to steady the anxious rhythm of her heart. She wasn’t doing this for herself—she was doing it for Damien, for their family, for the future of the pack.When the doors finally opened, she was greeted with the cold, sharp eyes of the council members. Each elder’s face was lined with years of wisdom and aging, and the air in the room felt heavy with animosity. She could tell immediately that they

Alpha Damien paced back and forth in his study, his conversation with Stephanie still played in his mind. She had agreed to become his Luna again—after years of turmoil and distance, it felt like a victory. Yet the council of elders’ resistance still gnawed at him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that they were conspiring against him, and his patience was wearing thin.The knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. It was sharp, authoritative, the kind of knock that signaled a visitor who wasn’t there for pleasantries. Damien sighed, brushing his hand through his hair before calling out, “Enter.”The door creaked open, and Elder Lucian stepped in, his presence cold and formal as always. Lucian had been on the council for years, a powerful elder who wielded significant influence among the pack's leadership. Behind him, the door remained slightly ajar, revealing another figure lingering in the hallway—Elder Gideon, who Damien noticed, did not enter the room but instead stood back, his arm

Stephanie stared at the walls in her room, overwhelmed by everything that had been happening—everything that had unfolded since Kayla returned.‘How had it come to this?; She had agreed to be Damien’s Luna once again, and had thought she could finally have a peaceful life for herself and her children. But the pack’s sudden rebellion, the council’s accusations against Damien, and the impending challenge—it all felt like too much.Her thoughts turned to Caleb and Kayla, who had been quieter than usual since the tension in the pack had escalated. Kayla, who had only recently just come back home, had been sensitive to the atmosphere, asking her questions she didn’t know how to answer. Both children, too young to understand everything, had started clinging to her more, as though seeking comfort in the only way they knew how.Stephanie sighed, her eyes misting with unshed tears. ‘What kind of life was this for them?’ Constant turmoil, uncertainty, fear. She had fought to protect them, to sh
