All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: Reclaiming His Gifted Luna: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"Your questions are going to have to wait," Candra says. Her entire attention is focused on the outburst of mayhem coming from the direction of the main campground.Someone howls and roars of rage echo in response. Without another word, Candra takes off running toward the fray.I chase after her, no less urgently. Evander is in there somewhere. And the prince.Oh, merciful gods, I pray as I jog beside the priestess. Please don't let me find them at the center of this brouhaha.I burst through the trees and into the clearing at a dead run and almost stumble over a wounded Lycan guard."What happened?" I ask while examining him."Rouges!" he says, struggling for every breath. "Flee. Hide. Don't let them find you.""The lad is right," Candra says, taking hold of my arm.The three of us flinch as something explodes in the center of the camp. I smell blood, then fire."Evander!" I gasp, then swivel toward the mayhem. He's in there somewhere. One of those roars could have been his. He might

Evander emerges from the medic's tent to stand once more at my side.I gape at Candra, blown away by her revelation. "A gift from the Moon Goddess?" I repeat. If only I had known. But even if I did know, would it have changed anything?Candra looks me over, worry etched on her face. "Aurora, you should have inherited the Moon Goddess's gifted abilities from your mother, but I can't sense any wolf scent from you."She steps in closer, searching my eyes for answers I don't know if I'm ready to give."What is it?" Candra asks. "What are you not telling me?"I glance over at Evander, nervous about what's to come. The Moon Goddess's gifted abilities – this is the secret my mother took to her grave. The truth that she never got to share with me.The truth that is now about to be revealed in front of the very person I was keeping it from. The one whose life I saved at the cost of my wolf's."I did have a wolf once," I say, my voice shaking from the turmoil of emotions the confession churns u

"What are you saying?" I ask defensively. Not again. Please, this cannot be happening to me again. I look around at the stoic faces of the king, my aunt, the prince, and my former mate. None of them are giving me any sort of comforting vibes."You're going to exile me because I was born of a Werewolf and a Lycan?" I demand, getting agitated. Will this nightmare ever end? Will my baby ever be safe? "That's not my fault!""I know," the king says gently. "Historically, children of interspecies couples are rare, such matings almost never produce pups, but when they do, the offspring are seen as cursed and are either exiled or killed. They are outcasts, doomed to roam alone, with no place in either Lycan or Werewolf societies."The king's eyes meet mine. "And because of that, both societies do our best to try to keep those mixed individuals from furthering their cursed bloodline."My arms instinctively wrap around my belly. Not only am I the product of a mixed coupling, but my baby is as

After all these years I finally learned the truth of the woman I once called my wife and mate. I was so wrong – about everything.Candra smiles at Aurora gently. The resemblance between them is startling. I see in Chandra’s face what Aurora’s would have matured into if we stayed married, if she were still my mate, if we were destined to grow old together. "It's a gift from the Moon Goddess,” the priestess explains to my former mate. “A boon extended to our lineage."Since the day we met, I tried to mind link with her. Again and again, we tried and failed. The only possible conclusion was that she had no wolf. And by thinking that, I assumed that meant she never had one."I did have a wolf once," Aurora said, and my heart stopped in shock. "But, before I could shift, before my wolf could come into her power…"I heard the turmoil in her voice. The pain."Before I could shift,” she confessed. “I used my gifted healing ability to save a dying person."To save a dying person.That person

Ralfi drags Nalani away. She's still screaming about revenge, but I don't have time for her whining. While she was trying to poison me, I had my team gather up her coconspirators.They should have gotten everyone by now.I toss Nalani's syringe into my personal safe, then leave my bedroom to join the others in the pack house command center.They are waiting for me when I enter – Ralfi and my mother, the select few soldiers I chose for this mission."Do you mind telling us why we were all called out of our beds to do a search and extract mission on some of our brothers and sisters?" Ralfi asks.My Beta mostly knows my plan now, this question is for the others. I haven't shared much with anyone. There was no one I could fully trust until I knew for sure the names of everyone who was involved."It pains me to report that we have been infiltrated from the inside."I wait for the horrified and indignant gasps to subside."Upon Nalani's awakening, I learned of a plot to weaken us, and leave
