All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S REGRET. Hated By His Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

RENNA'S POV The scent of the dinner wafted through the room, blending with the sweet, intoxicating scent of my mate, Nicholas. His dark hair fell perfectly, framing his chiseled jawline, and his sharp, intense eyes glimmered with a primal hunger that had nothing to do with the meal. Even in his casual attire, Nicholas radiated an undeniable dominance, his broad shoulders, sculpted chest, and the commanding aura of an Alpha. He had a lot of duties tonight, yet here he was with me.It was our anniversary, and I had suggested we spend the evening alone, just the two of us. Despite his usual duties as the Alpha, always so wrapped up in pack matters, Nicholas had set aside time for me. A rare gesture, but one I cherished deeply. After all, the bond we shared, the connection between an Alpha and his mate, was not something I took lightly.Nicholas's gaze flicked up from his plate, and I felt my heart skip a beat. The smoldering intensity in his eyes made it impossible to stay upset for lon

RENNA'S POV"Ashley, I need to go. Thank you for the information. I'll call you back later."The phone call left my thoughts spinning like a whirlwind. Nicholas, my mate and Alpha of the Red Moon Pack, had always been strong, composed, and honorable. For three years, I thought I knew every real of him—his strength, his wolf radiated strength, his decisions were loyal, and his word was his bond. But I had never seen him openly defend another female, let alone break his promises to me until now.Twice.He had broken his word twice, and worse, but I had never caught him defending someone in a way that felt... personal.Currently doubt was clawing at the edges of my mind.I sighed deeply as I stepped out of my car at the pack house, my claws threatening to unsheathe with frustration.As I walked into the packhouse, I wasn’t prepared for the scene that awaited me. Stepping inside, the scent of lavender and an unfamiliar floral note hit me. My heart skipped a beat as I rounded the corner t

Before I could unleash my fury, Nicholas's expression hardened. His voice carried the weight of an Alpha’s authority, commanding the room. "Sofia," he said coldly, "those flowers aren't for you."With one swift motion, he took the bouquet from her grasp with an assertive gesture and turned to me, handing them over with a tenderness that only I, his Luna, had the privilege of seeing."They’re for my mate," he declared, his piercing eyes locking onto mine with the intensity of his wolf.Sofia's face flushed with humiliation, but I couldn't hide the satisfied smirk tugging at my lips. Yet, what came next surprised me.She wasn’t deterred because within seconds she turned towards Nicholas with her eyes glimmering with a cunning light. "Nicholas, Nic... nic. I’m so sorry to interrupt your private time, but... the flower is for me, right? Remember back in high school, you used to bring me lavender flowers, during the full moon. Remember those nights? Back in the packhouse, before she came

Beep!Beep!(RENNA'S POV)My eyes fluttered open, and I inhaled sharply as the overwhelming scent of antiseptic and faint pine filled my nose. The fluorescent lights above burned into my pupils, sending sharp jolts of pain to my already pounding head. I groaned, my wolf stirring uneasily within me.I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in my side stopped me cold. As an agonizing pain shot through my waist, a strangled cry escaped my lips, and I collapsed back onto the pillow. The sensation wasn’t just physical—it was the dull, aching absence of the bond I usually felt with Nicholas, my mate.Moments later, through blurry vision, I saw Ashley dart to my side, her hazel eyes wide with concern and brimming with relief. “Luna! Thank the Moon Goddess you’re awake! Are you okay?”, She whispered. "Ash...ley?" My voice was hoarse, barely a whisper, and even saying her name felt like a battle."Shh, don’t try to talk,"she said gently, her Beta aura calming my wolf. She placed a hand on mine. H

(RENNA'S POV)"I feel there's a lot you have been hiding from me, luna," Ashley said. her amber wolf eyes narrowing in disapproval. The sharp tone of her voice felt like claws scraping against my guilt.I sighed and looked away, knowing she was right. We were alone in my quarters within the pack's medical wing. I sighed and my gaze dropped to the floor. She was right, after all. We were alone in my room within the pack's healing wing, where I’d been recovering after a near- fatal encounter with Sofia.My strength had returned after Nicholas brought me clothes, a hearty meal, and herbs from the pack healer. Yet, the weight of secrets hung heavily in the air. I hadn’t seen him since."You know," Ashley continued, arms crossed over her chest, "it’s unfair to call me your best friend and keep things from me.""Fine," I relented, feeling the weight of her persistence. "What do you want to know?" I raised my eyebrows. "For starters, who is Sofia? She's the she-wolf I told you I saw Nichol
