His Regret Began When She Let Go
"I want to know," Marissa said, placing a hand on her stomach, "if you'll be here to watch me give Bryce the child you never could." She snapped.
Rachel's blood ran cold. Of course! she was right.
***
For three years, Rachel has lived as the perfect wife of Bryce Voss. Always gentle, loyal, and endlessly composed, she believed love could soften every cruelty, untill the day her husband walked into their matrimonial house with another woman at his side, claiming she carried his child.
Declared infertile and a cancer victim after countless hospital visits, Rachel endures shame and cold shoulders from the family she once adored. When Bryce demands a divorce, she asks for one last thing...14 days. Fourteen days to remain his wife before fate decides what she'll become... but surprisingly, he is indifferent.

Chapter: Epilogue ~{~ EPILOGUE ~}~~Five Years Later~~Morning sunlight poured softly through the large windows of the Morello mansion while chaos echoed from the second floor.“Absolutely not.”“Daddy!”“No.”“Daddy, please!”Dominic stood in the middle of the hallway already dressed for work while a tiny girl clung dramatically to his leg like her life depended on it.Her curly dark hair looked messy from sleep, and her large eyes, unfortunately, looked exactly like Rachel’s.Which meant Dominic lost arguments against her far too often.“Aria,” he said firmly while trying to peel her tiny arms away from him, “you are not climbing that tree again.”“But Luca said I can do it!”Dominic’s expression darkened instantly. “Where is Luca?”A loud crash sounded downstairs.Dominic closed his eyes slowly. “I asked one question.”Rachel’s laughter echoed from the kitchen before she appeared moments later carrying a cup of coffee calmly like the house was not actively collapsing around them.Five years later, sh

Chapter: Chapter 0133--The End(Three Months Later)Soft golden light filled the large bridal room while Rachel stood quietly in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection like she still could not completely believe everything was real.The wedding dress wrapped perfectly around her body, elegant and breathtaking without looking too heavy despite the small curve of her growing stomach hidden carefully beneath the layers of fabric.Her fingers rested lightly against her belly while emotion slowly tightened inside her chest.Elara stood behind her adjusting the final part of the veil carefully before stepping back to admire her work.“There,” Elara said proudly. “Now Dominic will probably forget how to breathe.”Rachel laughed softly under her breath. “You’re exaggerating.”“I’m absolutely not.”Rachel shook her head slightly, but the smile on her face refused to disappear.Elara walked closer afterward and stood beside her in front of the mirror. “Look at you.”Rachel’s eyes softened.Three months ago, she thoug

Chapter: Chapter 0132The private hospital room had grown quiet over the last three days, mostly because Dominic was recovering much faster than every doctor expected.The gunshot wound in his leg still hurt whenever he moved too suddenly, but the swelling had reduced greatly and he no longer looked as pale as he did the first night Rachel almost lost him.Morning light slipped softly through the large windows while Dominic sat halfway upright against the hospital bed, one arm resting behind his head as Rachel sat beside him carefully peeling an orange.“You’re staring at me,” Rachel muttered without looking up.Dominic smirked slightly. “You’ve been peeling that orange for ten minutes.”Rachel finally looked at him. “Because you keep distracting me.”“I’m lying here injured and somehow I’m still the problem.”Rachel rolled her eyes before separating one piece of the orange and handing it to him. “You’re always the problem.”Dominic took it from her slowly. “That’s rude.”“You survived getting shot.

Chapter: Chapter 0131The quietness inside the hospital room disappeared the moment the door opened again.Rachel instinctively looked up first, expecting another doctor or one of Dominic’s guards, but the moment her eyes landed on Bryce standing near the entrance beside Evangeline, her entire expression changed immediately.Dominic’s face hardened at the same time. For one sharp second, nobody inside the room spoke.Bryce looked worse than before. Bruises still covered parts of his face from the fight at the cliffside, and one side of his lip remained slightly swollen, but despite all of that, he still stood there calmly beside Evangeline like nothing had happened.Rachel sat upright immediately beside Dominic’s hospital bed. “What is he doing here?”Dominic’s jaw tightened visibly. “Why aren’t you in prison?”Bryce opened his mouth slightly, but Evangeline answered before he could speak. “Because I got him out,” she said clearly.Rachel stared at her in disbelief.Evangeline walked further into the room

Chapter: Chapter 0130Dominic woke slowly to the steady sound of machines beeping beside him.For several seconds, his vision remained blurred while pain spread heavily through his body, especially around his injured leg and ribs. The smell of medicine filled the quiet hospital room while faint morning light slipped through the curtains near the window.He inhaled carefully and immediately regretted it when pain tightened sharply through his chest.A low curse nearly left his mouth before he finally noticed the figure sleeping beside his bed.Rachel.She sat curled awkwardly against the side chair with her head resting near his arm, one hand still loosely holding onto his hospital blanket like she had fallen asleep trying not to let go of him.Dominic stared at her silently.Dark circles rested beneath her eyes, and strands of hair had fallen messily across part of her face. She looked exhausted in a way that made guilt tighten painfully inside him.The memories from the previous night slowly returned all

Chapter: Chapter 0129For one long second after Marissa pressed the knife deeper against Smithfield’s throat, nobody moved.The wind continued roaring across the cliffside while smoke drifted heavily around them, but every person standing there stared at the same scene in complete shock.Even the guards froze.Smithfield’s body swayed slightly where he knelt near the edge of the cliff, his fingers trembling weakly around the blood spilling through his throat.Marissa did not move away from him. Her expression remained cold and completely steady, like someone who had waited years for this exact moment.Rachel stared at her in disbelief. Dominic remained half on the ground several feet away, breathing heavily while blood continued running down his injured leg.Bryce slowly released Dominic’s collar and turned fully toward Marissa.“Marissa…” he muttered.Smithfield coughed violently again. Blood spread down the front of his clothes as his strength visibly started failing.His breathing became rough and uneve

HER SCENT, HIS UNDOING
“She came to serve him, never knowing she would ruin him.”
“We are not mates,” I say clearly. “I am a maid, and you are the Alpha, which means, whatever confusion happened earlier needs to end immediately because I will not entertain that kind of intimacy next time.”
Draven remains still.
“And just in case you mistake me for a harlot because of this ridiculous mate nonsense,” I add sharply, “let me make myself very clear Alpha. I am here to clean your room, not to throw myself at you!”
***
Seren lost everything in a single night. Her marriage, her family and the life she once called hers. Cast out, stripped out of her name and status, she runs to the last place anyone would look for her: a rival pack ruled by an Alpha betrothed to marry another.
Invisible, powerless, and safe, she stayed in the pack until the Alpha notices her. Not because of her face nor her past, but because of her scent.
Torn between duty and bond he refuses to acknowledge, Draven is determined to keep his distance, even as his control begins to fracture.

Chapter: Chapter 006: Into His Quarters~Seren~Pain shoots through my leg the moment I push myself off the floor, and for one humiliating second, I regret every stubborn decision that leads me into this room in the first place, because falling in front of the Alpha and his Beta is clearly not the kind of memory I want attached to my existence.I grit my teeth and straighten. The overly long maid uniform hangs around like an enemy sworn to destroy whatever dignity I have left. I swear, if I survive long enough in this pack, I’ll burn every piece of fabric Gwen forces me to wear.I take one step and the sharp sting in my ankle immediately betrays me, my limp is obvious.“Careful,” Beta says, moving slightly forward like he intends to help me. I instantly glared at him, “Forget it.”His brows raise in amusement. “I was only trying to–““I know, and I’m trying to leave,” I cut in sharply. That earns a quiet sound from him that suspiciously resembles a suppressed laughter. I ignore him completely. Instead, I turned towards

Chapter: Chapter 005: Mate in a maid uniform(Draven)I leaned back in the chair, placing my palm on my forehead. Nothing about the situation felt stable enough to trust. Marcel stood by me with his arms folded, watching me with an expression when I wanted to do something he already disapproved of.“The bond is active,” he said again. “There’s no denying it anymore, Draven.”I scoffed under my breath, staring at the ceiling instead of him. “A maid cannot be my mate.” I could not understand whatever madness the universe was trying to sell to me because, how can the moon goddess give a maid as my mate???Marcel exhaled slowly, as if I had asked him for the hundredth time. “And yet your wolf disagrees.”I said nothing because he was right. The moment she walked into my room, my wolf was not calm anymore. He kept screaming. Mate. Mate. Mate.And it echoed inside my skull like something trying to break free from a cage and every time I tried to suppress it, it grew sharper and more violent.The door swung open and both of us turned a

Chapter: Chapter 004: Mate? Impossible.~Seren~ I didn’t understand what was happening to my body. That was the first honest thought that cut through the storm inside my head as Alpha Draven’s hand stayed wrapped around my wrist. He was holding me in place against the wall of his private chamber. His eyes did not leave mine…not even for a second. “Mate,” he said again, lower this time and I felt the pull. Not physical pain, not even attraction in the way I understood it. I felt the urge to kiss him right there, I want to claim him. My breath caught as warmth spread through my skin in waves I couldn’t explain and I hated the fact that my body reacted before my mind could catch up. I hated that my thoughts were fractured in two opposing directions. One screaming at me to stay because something in me recognized him, while the other clawed violently at my awareness reminding me of who I was in this pack and what men like him represented in my bloodline history. Draven…Enemy. My pulse quickened as his free hands

Chapter: Chapter 003: The pull~Seren~“Keep your head down, speak only when spoken to, and do not—under any circumstances draw attention to yourself.”Gwen’s voice was sharp and completely uninterested in whether I lived or died in this pack.I adjusted the sleeve of the maid uniform that swallowed my arms like it had been stitched for someone twice my size. “If I wanted attention, I wouldn’t be wearing this.” I muttered.Her eyes flicked to me briefly, “Good, then try not to die in his room.”I paused, “Is that supposed to be comforting?”“It’s supposed to be realistic,” she replied, already turning away. “You’ve been assigned to Alpha Draven’s chamber, clean thoroughly, leave quickly and do not provoke him.”His name alone made my chest tighten. Even before exile, before everything collapsed, I knew that name so well.My father’s voice echoed in my head, “That man is not to be trusted. He is our nemesis! An enemy to our pack.”And now…I was being sent to his room, dressed in a servant outfit. Seriously, life has

Chapter: Chapter 002: Betrothed to a stranger~Draven~I had faced wars, rogue packs, and council uprising, but nothing tested the restraint of my temper like the moment my mother said her name.“Lyra, your betrothed wife.” My mother said with the brightest smile. I straightened slowly from my seat, my claws threatening to surface beneath my skin. “Repeat that.” My mother didn't flinch. She rarely did when it came to matters she had already decided for me. “You will be formally betrothed to Lyra of the northcrest pack,” she said calmly. A low murmur spread through the elders seated around the circular hall, all of them suddenly fascinated by the grain of the wooden table. I laughed once, sharp and without humor, “No,” My mother’s gaze hardened. “Draven!” “I said no,” I repeated, pushing myself fully upright now, the weight of authority rising through me like fire finding oxygen. “You do not decide who I bind myself to! I am not a treaty.” One of the elders cleared his throat. “Alpha Draven, this is alliance is—““Do not s

Chapter: Chapter 001: Cold reality.~Seren~ ( 3 months ago)“I'm sorry, Mrs Seren…your parents did not survive the attack on the eastern ridge.”The doctors words didn't feel right when they first entered my ears, almost as if he had spoken in another language my heart refused to translate. I stared at him from the chair I hadn't realized I was gripping so tightly, my nails digging into the wood as though it would anchor me to reality. “You're mistaken,” I said slowly, my voice calm. “My parents don't die in attacks.”The doctor flinched slightly. “Seren…”“Don't!” I cut in sharply, standing up so fast that the chair scraped violently against the floor. “Don't say my name unless you are absolutely sure of what you are saying.” The doctor stared at me before adjusting his glasses to the bridge of his nose. We both know that this is a lie, my parents can't die just like that.“Take me to them,” I say firmly. “There is nothing left to see,” he replied carefully, “the bodies…”“I said take me to them!” His hesitation w
