All Chapters of EX'S REGRETS; Desired By Two Alphas After Rejection: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Thane's POVI could feel the weight of my words before I even spoke them. The air was tense. I stood in front of Grandpa, ready to explain what happened with Ember, but the words sat heavy in my chest. I didn’t want to lie anymore, but the truth would destroy him.Before I could speak, Zara cut in, her voice sharp and quick. "Ember is gone, Grandpa. She left after Alpha Thane rejected her." Her words sliced through the air before I could stop her.Grandpa’s eyes widened, his face twisting with anger and disbelief. He turned to me, his voice shaking with shock. “What?” he almost choked on the word. “Tell me it isn’t true… tell me, Thane!”I clenched my fists, my knuckles white from the pressure. I wanted to say something—anything—to keep the truth from tearing him apart.I had already tried lying to him before, saying Ember was just on a trip, claiming she was pregnant to ease his worry.But now, I couldn’t lie anymore. I couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine when it clearly was

Thane's POVI opened my eyes slowly, feeling the sting of the sunlight pouring in through the hospital window. My whole body ached as if I had just fought a battle.Every muscle in my body screamed in pain, and I winced as I sat up on the stiff couch. The scene from the night before flashed through my mind—me, holding Grandpa in my arms, his body limp and unresponsive.I had rushed him to the pack’s clinic, my heart pounding with fear, and I spent the whole night outside the emergency unit, pacing, waiting, hoping.I thought I had lost him.The memory made my stomach turn. It had been the longest night of my life, watching the doctors rush in and out of the room, each time praying for some good news.I never left the hospital, not even for a second. I couldn’t. What if something happened while I was gone?But now, as I blinked the sleep out of my eyes, something felt different. The air in the room was calmer.I stood up slowly, stretching my stiff legs, and the first thing I saw was G

Ember’s POVIt had been three days since I’d been stuck in the Alpha’s chamber. I wasn’t sure how much longer I could take it.Every night, I stayed awake, eyes wide open, staring at the shadows on the walls. Sleep was a distant memory.My body was exhausted, but my mind wouldn’t let me rest. There was too much fear. Fear of him—Alpha Rowan.Why was he keeping me here? He hadn’t hurt me, not yet, but there was this thick tension between us, like the calm before a storm.Collapsing in the throne chamber, whatever it was, might have been part of the reason. But even with that, why would Alpha Rowan insist I stay in his room? His room, of all places.I sat on the edge of the bed, my hands trembling a bit as I fiddled with my fingers, trying to calm my racing heart.My eyes flicked toward the bathroom door. He was in there. I heard the water running, and every few minutes, I felt my stomach twist with nerves.I should’ve talked to him, asked him—no, begged him to let me go back to my room

Ember's POVI woke up the next morning, blinking at the faint light that peeked through the heavy curtains in the room. For the first time in a long while, I felt calm, almost safe.I realized why that was as I looked around the room and noticed Alpha Rowan wasn’t there.He hadn’t been by my side when I’d gone to sleep, and I didn’t hear him come in during the night, either.It was strange to admit, but I liked it. I liked the peace, the lack of fear. Not that I’d ever say that out loud, but it was nice to go through a night without feeling tense, without wondering if he’d say something hurtful or if he’d be in one of his cold, distant moods.As I lay there, my mind drifted to the question I’d ignored the moment I woke up: where could he have gone so early? He was always an early riser, true, but something felt different today.It was like he was in a hurry to be gone, as if he had some urgent matter to tend to. But then again, I’d stopped questioning his actions. They were as unpredi

Ember's POVStanding at the edge of Scar Moon Pack's boundary, my heart pounded like a drum, each beat filling me with a fear I tried to ignore.The trees stood tall around me, their shadows stretching out and closing in. I felt my hand clutching at my chest, as if that could help calm the storm inside.I couldn’t believe I’d actually found her here—Zara, at the park of Claw Bane Pack, just outside the pack house. I never expected her to be here of all places.The sight of her brought back every single one of her biting threats, as sharp and painful as if she’d just said them.“If I find you back here, I won’t hesitate to tell everyone the cunning Luna you really are.”Her words rang in my head, clear as day, and I felt fear clawing at my insides.The whole pack knowing the truth wouldn’t shatter me, but my son, Loak, knowing? Seeing his disappointment in me? That thought nearly broke me.I couldn’t let him look at me and see someone he couldn’t be proud of. And if Alpha Rowan discove
