All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: His Betrayed Luna: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

THALIA I'm bored out of my mind sitting alone in my apartment, the ghost of all my bad decisions haunt me as I stare at everything that belonged to Keir. I can't help but wonder what would have happened to me and the pup if I stayed in that abusive relationship. Would I have lost another child trying to atone for those sins? The thought makes my stomach churn, Knox would have killed me for sure. Speaking of the baby daddy the moon goddess decided to punish me with, he's been texting me lately but one can tell from his texts that he hates me. I'm grateful he made himself scarce but texting me three times a day when I feel comfortable to have a doctor's appointment is unnerving. I'm scared of the doctor saying something I can't stomach, I'm trying so hard to be positive this time. I pick my phone up and Knox's text stares at me from the notification bar, I open it and close the app, opening my contacts. My finger hovers over my therapist's contact before I work up the courage to c

The delivery guy arrives just in time, he asks the receptionist for Thalia despite my attaching a photo when I ordered it. I longer close by to Thalia and Nova, and the way he laughs with her irritates me. “Miss Laurel, I have a delivery for you.” Thalia and Nova share a look before she turns to him with a warm smile. “I'm Miss Laurel but I didn't order anything.” “Well, it says here for Miss Laurel.” he shows her the tablet, trying to balance my order in his hand. Thalia stares at the drink in his hand and shakes her head, “No.” she stares back at it, she wanted this, I clearly heard her and Amara talking about this earlier and it's the one she's been having nearly every day with Nova. “you have the wrong person.” “Maybe it's Danielle on the upper floor.” Nova suggests. “Yes!” Thalia promptly agrees, somehow they've convinced each other they're both right. I'm left with no choice but to join the conversation, “I ordered it.” “You?” both Thalia and Nova gasp, their face

“Nothing,” she grins up at him. “Show me,” he orders. Arabella frowns, “I was showing Aunt Thalia.” she pulls out her hands, sucks in a breath and morphs her claws. “Tadaa.” “Where did you learn that?” “Over there,” she points, her gaze finding Knox again. “Are you okay Daddy?” “Yes, my little girl is growing up.” “I won't grow up, it makes you sad.” she stomps her foot. “He's not sad. He's happy and, pretty soon you'll be shifting like everyone.” “Daddy said I might not but that's okay because it makes me unique.” she beams. That's okay? No, it's not. My memories of being one of the bullied wolfless kids kick in and I want to snap Knox in half, even though he bullied me when I was younger. “Why would you say that, she's only three of course she's going to shift. She's already got her claws and she's growing big.” “So big.” Ryan ruffles her hair, making her pout. “Curiosity here,” he raises his hand. “Who said, I mean how do you know Bella's age?” “Daddy, Uncle

Thalia shrugs, “Maybe the pup hates you, I know I do. And please watch your voice, someone might hear.” she whispers, her gaze wandering around, we're nearly alone, everyone around is either drunk or too consumed by their mates. “I don't care if they hear me.” “Oh, so that's why you haven't told Mariella yet?” she nods to herself “You want her to get wind of it, smart.” “Stop it.” I swallow, Mariella not being here has momentarily lifted a weight off my shoulders. Thalia frowns, “Stop what?” “Stop bringing Mariella up, she might trip and fall from all the thoughts you're giving her.” “I shouldn't even be talking to you.” she sighs, staring off into the river again. I watch her, the way her hair catches the subtle breeze, the way the moon shines almost directly on her face. She's beautiful, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen but her inside is ugly. My wolf laughs at me, for someone who should be having my back he's a fucking betrayer. “We felt her insides, there

“Because you're licking that man's boots instead of working hard.” she counters, “You're a woman Mariella. The only man you know how to work can't be your mate, work them all to your side. Knox should be worshipping you, not the other way around. Stop playing coy.” I swallow, feeling like a child being scolded for never being good enough. “I am n-no,” I stutter. Mother nods at me, petting Priya. “Then what are you doing? Hmm, you're embarrassing me as your mother, your step sister laughs at you, she snagged her a beta just last month.” “And sister Mariella, you're prettier than sister Amrita.” Ignoring Priya I turn to my mother, “I can't choose my mate Mom. However, I can choose my second. Knox is my second, mother.” “Hmm,” mother nods. “Is your obsession with him fed by the fact that he belongs to Thalia?” “He doesn't!” I argue, my heartbeat picking up. “Mariella, what has gotten into you?” my mother's eyes widen, I never raise my voice at her but when she says things l
