All Chapters of Alpha's Regret: Yearning For Her Love: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Emily’s POVThe Next Day.The courtroom was heavy with tension, the kind that made my palms sweat and my chest tighten. Jack was seated on his throne, his posture rigid yet calm, while Madison stood in front of him. I wasn't seated beside him, the Queen’s seat was gone, its absence a stark reminder of where I stood now.Instead, I was placed beside Kiara and Lady Elena. The former sat with an exaggerated air of self-importance, while Lady Elena watched everything with her usual sharp, calculating gaze. I shifted uncomfortably, feeling their presence looming over me like shadows.Madison's voice broke through the uneasy silence. “Your Majesty, I admit to my wrongdoing,” she said, her tone steady but laced with guilt. “It was not my place to meddle, and I understand that what I did was wrong.”The murmurs started almost immediately, whispers of judgment and disapproval rippling through the crowd. I bit my lip, silently hoping Jack would understand.“For your actions,” He began, his v

Emily's POVThe council chamber was empty now, the tension from earlier slowly dissipating into the cold silence of the room. Only Jack and I remained. He sat in his chair, calm and composed, while I stood a few feet away, my arms crossed tightly over my chest. I stared at him, the words tumbling out before I could stop them. “Why did you do that?” His eyes flickered to me, his expression unreadable. “Because it was the right thing to do.” I scoffed, disbelief coloring my tone. “Without consulting me first? You decided something that involves me without even asking if I wanted it.” His lips curved into a faint smirk, one that barely reached his eyes. “Emily, the Blood Moon Ceremony is in a week’s time. I don’t have the luxury of waiting anymore. The pack needs a Luna Queen, and I need to do what’s necessary.” I froze, the weight of his words sinking in. “The necessity?” I echoed, bitterness lacing my voice. “You mean tying me to a throne I never asked for?” His gaze softened, b

Emily's POVI made my way down the dimly lit hallway, my footsteps echoing softly against the stone walls. The air was cold, and it matched the chill in my chest. After leaving the dining room, I needed space—needed clarity. But most of all, I needed to see Maddy.The guards stationed outside her room gave me a quick nod, stepping aside without much fuss. I entered to find her sitting on the small cot, knees hugged tightly to her chest. Her face, though calm on the surface, betrayed the unease in her eyes. She looked up sharply when she heard the door creak.“I was wondering when you would come,” she said, her voice shaky but laced with a small smile. I went closer, gave her a tight hug.We disengaged from the hug after while, her hair and messy and her face revealed all emotions running through her body.“I’ve been sitting here, thinking the worst. Every little sound out there makes me jump.” I knelt beside her, my throat tightening at the sight of her like this. “I’m sorry it too

Emily's POV The Next Day.I was back in the training arena. The crisp morning air was filled with the sound of sparring and distant chatter, but all I could focus on was Zaza standing in front of me, his arms crossed and an exasperated look on his face."Emily, your stance," he instructed, pointing at my feet. "How many times do I have to tell you? If you’re not balanced, you’re an easy target."I groaned but adjusted my footing as he instructed. He was filling in for Mason today since Mason had been pulled away by pack issues alongside Jack. While he was a great trainer, his sharp tongue and relentless corrections were starting to wear on me."Good," he said, nodding as he circled me. "Now, strike."I threw a punch toward the padded target he held up, but it wasn’t as clean as it should’ve been. He lowered the target and shook his head."Again," he ordered.We went on like this for what felt like forever, with Zaza scolding, correcting, and occasionally muttering something under hi

Author's POV The following weeks were a whirlwind of activity as everyone prepared for the blood moon ceremony. The throne room had finally been rebuilt, gleaming and grand, with only a few finishing touches remaining.Emily poured her energy into training. Zaza continued pushing her hard, and while she complained at times, she secretly felt proud of the progress she was making. The weight of her new role loomed over her, but she was determined to face it head-on.Meanwhile, Kiara hadn’t left her room since her argument with Jack. She spent her days lying on her side, staring at nothing in particular, tears slipping silently down her face. She hated the hollow feeling in her chest and the swirling thoughts in her mind.She thought of Alan. His face, his laughter, the warmth of his touch—all of it haunted her. Regret gnawed at her. She had thrown it all away for Jack, and now… now she was alone.Jack, on the other hand, had been tirelessly working to secure peace across the realm. He
