All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

As the final elder left the council hall, Lucian glanced toward Xavier, who stood at the entrance, leaning against the doorframe with a smug smile playing on his lips. Lucian’s expression darkened. He had been observing Xavier throughout the meeting, the way he strutted in and boasted, making a spectacle of himself in front of the very people he intended to lead. It hadn’t gone unnoticed by the others either, their eyes flickering with unease at the display of arrogance.“Xavier, drop me home,” Lucian said with a sigh, his tone clipped. “We need to talk.”Xavier straightened, a smirk still on his face as he walked over to the SUV. “Of course, Uncle,” he replied, a mocking tone barely concealed in his voice. As they drove through the winding roads that led to Lucian’s home, Xavier gazed out the window, his eyes scanning the pack lands like a king surveying his kingdom. Lucian’s jaw clenched, the sight of Xavier’s cocky demeanor grating on his nerves. When they arrived at Lucian’s home

Agnes felt dread growing in the pit of her stomach as she stirred the coffee, her hands trembled slightly. The aroma filled the kitchen, but all she could smell was guilt. She had never felt more torn in her life. As the senior maid, it was easy enough to send Jane off to complete other tasks, but now she stood at the counter, vial in hand, knowing that what she was about to do could change everything. Lucian’s threats echoed in her mind, a constant reminder of what was at stake if she failed.Her fingers hesitated over the steaming mug. Was this really her only option? Could she really betray Alpha Damien, the man who had been nothing but kind to her, and Lady Stephanie, who treated everyone in the mansion with respect? Agnes closed her eyes, trying to block out the wave of guilt threatening to overwhelm her. ‘This is for my family’, she reminded herself, the words feeling hollow.With shaking hands, she uncorked the vial and poured its contents into the coffee. Lucian had assured he

"I have always sworn to protect this pack—to lead with dignity, strength, and honor. But today, I stand before you not just as your Alpha, but as a man who was betrayed. Betrayed by one of our own—an elder who sought to undermine my leadership and bring harm not only to me but to this entire pack." Murmurs rippled through the crowd. Shock, confusion, and disbelief spread among the pack members, their eyes widening as they tried to comprehend what their Alpha was saying. Damien paused, letting the weight of his words sink in before he continued. "Elder Lucian," he said, voice sharp as a blade, "plotted against me. He sought to weaken me before the fight and poison me. But thanks to the courage of my daughter, Kayla, I stand before you unharmed." He gestured to Kayla, who stood near Stephanie, her small figure appearing both vulnerable and strong at the same time. Gasps escaped from the crowd. Eyes darted towards Lucian, who stood amongst the elders, his face unreadable, though a fl

Alpha Damien appointed men to go get the sorceress, there was no point in delaying, the earlier the better. “You,” he said, pointing to two of some of his trusted men, “you’re going to get the sorceress.”The guards exchanged a quick glance, unsure whether to be relieved or anxious about the task ahead. Damien’s voice cut through their uncertainty. “Tell her it’s private,” he said, his tone sharp. “Tell her she needs to come immediately. No delays. No excuses. This is important.”One of the guards nodded, stepping forward. “Understood, Alpha. Should we take the usual route, or—” “Use the old pathways. She hates being bothered, but I don’t care. Get her here as fast as you can. I don’t want anyone else knowing about this.” He gave them a hard look, his eyes narrowing. “This is between us.”“Right away, Alpha,” they replied in unison, bowing slightly before turning on their heels.Damien watched them disappear, his mind already shifting to the next task at hand. He turned, heading back

Damien paced back and forth in the hallway, his jaw clenched in frustration. The sorceress’s words still echoed in his mind, but he refused to let them take root. He wasn’t a man who cowered before superstitions or dark omens. He was the Alpha, the leader of the pack, and no spirits from an ancient past would have power over his family—least of all over Kayla. “It was a one-time thing,” he muttered to himself as he paused by the window, looking out at the rising sun over the forest. His hands gripped the windowsill tightly as if he could will away the doubt creeping into his mind.He hadn’t discussed it further with Stephanie. They’d both agreed to move forward, to focus on the Luna ceremony. The pack needed stability now more than ever. And if there was one thing that could unify them, it was the installation of Stephanie as Luna. After everything that had happened lately, what the pack needed was some good news and not another drama. Damien believed that whatever was happening with
