All Chapters of His Regret, My Escape: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

OLYMPIA'S POVI stood at the edge of the grand hall. My heart was beating, racing in anticipation. The air was electric with the collective longing of our pack. Twenty-one years of searching, twenty-one years of disappointment. Yet tonight, I could feel it in my bones: this would be the year I found him.The Mating Festival was ordained, a centuries-long practice—a holy ritual for our pack to collectively rejoice at the consummation of two spirits. The air held so much anticipation; pheromones hung heavy in the crowd. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, letting that animalistic energy course through me.My eyes met those of so many hopefuls in the room, each in search of his perfect match. Some were wriggling in anticipation and some had set their faces to imply expectation of winning—sureness in their eyes gleaming with a sense of entitlement.The drums echoed across the hall, signaling the commencement of the ceremony. There was silence in the room as all eyes turned toward the alp

Olympia's POVThe memories of the night before assaulted my brain, and it was as if a tidal wave had swept me off my breath, leaving me speechless. I cringed thinking of how I had begged that stranger to take me roughly; my face burned with humiliation. I turned toward him; a pang of sadness twisted deep in the pit of my belly, pulling in opposing directions: to go, to stay. His beautiful face was serene in his sleep, and my heart skipped a beat."Olympia, keep it together," I chide myself as the emotions welled up. Turning quickly, I gathered my clothes from where they had landed around the room, like strung confetti, and got dressed without cleaning up. The risk that he might wake up and see me like this was too great.At the door, I saw my arm bandaged and cleaned. Memories of our kiss and how he took care of my injury tenderly came back to mind.The bazillion venues, his gentleness, his care over me—so surreal. My heart melted at the memory of how he looked at me, of how he'd made

Third person’s POV Xavier woke up the following morning to an empty bed but Olympia wasn’t in bed anymore. His first thought was that she had woken up earlier to prepare for their journey back to his Kingdom where they were going to start a new life but when he got out of bed and searched for her, he couldn’t find her anywhere. He searched frantically for her but she was still nowhere to be found. He paused for a while to wonder where she could be and a wild thought crossed his mind. Perhaps, Silas sent men to abduct her in the middle of the night while we slept, he thought.He got dressed and stormed out of the room, making his way to Silas’s home. When he got there, he tried to make his way through to confront Silas but Silas’s men refused him entrance. It was at that point that Silas stepped out. “What’s this noise so early in the morning?” He asked but immediately he saw Xavier, confusion spread out on his face. “Xavier? What are you doing here? You already took my mate with

Xavier’s POV(Back at the Lycan Territory)“Xavier, it’s been six years since she went missing. Why don’t you give up?” one of the elders of my pack said.“You don’t tell me what to do, Elder Wade. I will not stop searching until she’s found. So, get used to it,” I replied.“So, what if she’s never found? Or you find her and she’s already dead?” Elder Moore said.I turned to look at him, rage burning in my eyes.“Don’t you ever make such a statement again, Elder Moore. And I’m saying this to everyone else. Anyone who isn’t comfortable with me searching for Olympia can leave but I’ll keep searching for her and that’s final,” I said, scanning the room.By the look on their faces, the elders weren’t pleased with my decision but unfortunately for them, I am the Lycan King and what I say stands. I dismissed them before walking out of the throne room. Back in my room, I couldn’t help but wonder if Olympia would ever be found.Since she mysteriously disappeared 6 years ago, I’d been searchin

Olympia’s POVMy heart sank as my eyes remained fixated to the envelope in his hand. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t speak. I just stood, frozen.“Olympia, should we order pizza tonight or…” Lola was saying and then trailed off.“Olympia, what’s wrong?” she asked me but I didn’t answer, she turned to look at Zayn and then she saw it.“Is that…” she trailed off again.“Who gave you that, Buddy?” she asked Zayn.“I was playing outside with my ball and a man gave me this. He asked me to give it to mummy,” Zayn replied.Lola took the envelope from Zayn and asked him to go up to his room. Immediately he was out of sight, she approached me and helped me sit back down on the couch.“Olympia, here is another letter and I’m sure it says the same thing as the others you’ve received. Why don’t you change your mind and go to the Lycans territory? This message could be coming in repeatedly for a reason. Perhaps someone out there is trying to tell you something. Who knows? You could find out the truth
