All Chapters of Alpha's Regret After He Choose His First Love But I Died for Him: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Scarlett’s POV:At 9:30 PM, the den door finally opened. Lucian walked in, reeking of Lily's rose perfume, his collar stained with her signature red lipstick."I'm so sorry about dinner," guilt laced his voice even as Lily's scent clung to his skin. "The pack matter-""Took longer than expected?" My smile felt like broken glass. "It's fine. Sit. Eat. The food's cold, but then again, so is everything else these days."He sat awkwardly, guilt radiating from him as he picked at the cold food. I watched him, memorizing every feature of the man I'd loved for eighteen years."The venison..." he tried weakly. "It's perfect. Just like always."I pushed my plate away, unable to stomach another bite of our lies. "You look tired, my Alpha. You should rest."Relief flooded his face at the escape offer. "Are you sure? We could still-""Another time." My voice was soft, final. "Go sleep."He hesitated for a moment before nodding. As he stood, he came around the table and pressed a kiss to my forehea

Scarlett’s POV:Lucian's question about the ring hung in the air between us. I stared at him, mind racing for an explanation that wouldn't reveal how much I knew."Scarlett?" His voice grew worried at my silence. "Talk to me, my love."I lowered my eyes, letting him draw his own conclusions. It worked."It's because Lily's back, isn't it?" He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "You're feeling insecure.""If only you knew what I saw in those woods," I thought bitterly."I understand she's from a noble bloodline," I said softly. "It's natural for people to compare us.""There's nothing to compare." He pulled me into his arms. The same arms that had held Lily just hours ago. "You're my Luna.And she's just past tense, five years ago that is."The next morning, he arrived at breakfast looking triumphant. A familiar box sat beside my plate."Open it," he urged, eyes bright with pride.Inside lay the Heart of the Storm ring, its enchanted moonstone gleaming. "I couldn't let any

Scarlett's POV:The empty medicine bottle mocked me from my trembling hands. My chest tightened as another wave of pain hit - I had no choice but to visit Dr. Kane for more medicine.I pulled myself together, checking my reflection in the mirror. The black veins were barely visible under my high-necked blouse. Perfect. The last thing I needed was for anyone to notice my condition.The hospital's antiseptic smell hit me as I walked through the entrance. I was heading toward Dr. Kane's office when familiar voices stopped me in my tracks."Are you sure you're feeling alright?" Lucian's voice, tinged with concern. "Maybe we should get a second opinion."My heart dropped as I peered around the corner. There stood my mate, hovering over Lily, who sat in one of the waiting room chairs outside the maternity ward.I slowly walked out, Lucien was the first to notice me. His expression was tense for a moment, but when he saw my calm expression, I could feel him immediately relax. "Scarlett? Darli

Scarlett's POV:The curse burned through my veins like liquid fire. Without the ring's protection, I could feel death creeping closer with each breath. My hands trembled as I stared at them, watching the black veins pulse beneath my skin.I found a silver dagger in the cabinet.One quick slash and it would all be over. No more pain, no more betrayal, no more watching Lucian build a family with another woman.I raised the silver dagger to my wrist, but suddenly Bobby leaped up, knocking it from my hand. The dagger clattered to the floor as he stood over it, barking frantically."Bobby, move," I whispered, but he planted himself firmly over the dagger, his eyes fixed on me.He whined, pressing against my legs, and I collapsed to my knees beside him. His warm tongue licked away my tears as he guarded the dagger."Why are you stopping me?" I asked him through my sobs. "They get to be happy while I die alone?"Bobby nudged my hand with his nose, his eyes full of unconditional love. Looking a

Scarlett's POV:I watched as Lucian gripped my letter so tightly his knuckles turned white. His whole body trembled with barely contained emotion."This is a lie," he snarled at Sarah, crumpling the paper. "You're working with Scarlett on this, aren't you? Some kind of sick test?"Sarah's face remained cold as winter. "Don't you dare accuse me of lying about my best friend's death.""Then prove it." His voice cracked. "Prove that she's...""Follow me." Sarah turned without another word and walked toward the hospital.Lucian followed, his desperation growing with each step. I drifted behind them, bound to his presence by our cursed connection.Dr. Kane was in his office when we arrived, as if he'd been expecting us. His usually warm face was grave as we entered."Tell him," Sarah commanded. "Show him everything."Dr. Kane pulled out a thick medical file from his desk drawer. "Alpha Lucian, please sit down.""I don't want to sit." Lucian's voice was raw. "I want the truth. Now.""Very we
