The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0082: The Wall Paid For It
ALICE'S POVBenjamin had already walked away by the time I made myself stop touching the mark on my neck.The kiss with John hadn't meant much — or it had meant something, but a clean kind of something, with none of the weight I dragged around in Blue Moon. No ghosts. No bond. No thirty days sitting on every word I said. That was the whole point of going. I'd kissed John back because for one evening I'd wanted to be a woman who could choose the easy thing and not have it cost her anything and I’m not sorry for it.Benjamin's voice when he said those words earlier stayed with me longer than I wanted. Not the jealousy underneath — that was there too, close to the surface, barely held. It was the steadiness. He hadn't shouted. He hadn't accused me of anything I could argue with cleanly. He'd just named the real shape of what loving me would cost, and walked off before I could tell him it wasn't fair to ask that of anyone. Some small, worn-out part of me agreed it was exactly fair, beca
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0081:The Mark On Her Neck
BENJAMIN’S POVI went down to the clinic to find her. Morwen told me she'd already left — gone off with John — and she didn't know where the two of them had got to.So I waited at her door instead. I had something to say to her, and somewhere in that long day of scrubbing blood off my own jaw I'd made up my mind I wasn't going to lose my nerve before I got it out.She came back near midnight, right after Alec sent a message to let me know he saw her in town and if I knew about it. I had the smell of him on her before I even looked at her face —I already knew she let another man have his hands all over her, plain as anything to a wolf's nose, and mine had never once spared me a single thing it could tell me.Then I saw the mark on her neck.Small. Faint pink love bite that was barely there. The kind of mark you'd only catch if you knew just where to look, and I knew exactly what had left it.The bond came up under my skin and leaned toward her, not asking one thing about what I wanted.
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0080:Not All The Way Sorry
JOHN'S POVAlice showed up with a whole pot of soup, which was its own kind of indictment."I didn't ask for room service," I said."It's not room service. It's just soup." She set it down without making a thing of it. "I figured you might still be sore.""My pride or my jaw?""Both."The chair creaked when I leaned back. I turned the cup once in my hands before I made myself let go of it."I'm sorry. For the punch. The drink was part of it. Not all of it.""That's not really an apology.""I know." I wasn't going to pretend it was. "I'm sorry it happened in front of everyone. I'm not all the way sorry that it happened."Her face didn't change. She sat down across from me. "The council was going to consider punishing you. For striking him.""I figured.""He didn't want it. He told them not to pursue it." She watched my face while she said it. "He said he was the one who triggered you first."I set the cup down. There was a generous way to take that, and I couldn't get my mouth to shape
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0079: No Punishment For John
ALICE'S POVI found Lisa by the clinic entrance the morning after, like she'd been waiting on me."Quite a show last night," she said. "Two men fighting over you in front of the entire pack." She tilted her head and looked my face over, like she was checking for damage that wasn't hers to look for. "It must feel good. Being wanted like that.""It didn't feel good. A man got punched in the face.""Two men got punched, technically. But who's counting." She smiled, small and warm. "I only mean — there's something almost flattering in it, isn't there. Being fought over. After all those years of being the woman nobody fought for."I let that one go past me. She wanted the flinch and reaction; I didn't have one to give her, not before my second cup of the day."Was there something you needed, Lisa.""I worry about you, that's all." She stepped closer and dropped her voice into something that sounded like kindness. "People are saying you've enjoyed this. The attention. Benjamin chasing you,
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0078: You Let Your Son Die
BENJAMIN'S POVThree days. That's how long it took to build the festival, and I spent nearly every hour of them with Callum—hauling banners, fighting the vendor coordinator over heating for the outdoor stalls, signing off on the council's seating chart for the bonfire.I'd sent Alice an invitation the same way I sent one to every member of the pack. A name on a list. A formality. I told myself I didn't expect her to come.She came. But She came with John.They came through the front gate together, his hand around hers—not the loose grip of two people who work side by side, but something different, something in their body language that was meant to be seen clear across a courtyard. The pack noticed. I noticed first.I turned back to the bonfire and told a vendor his tent stakes were in the wrong row, and when he moved them I told him the new row was wrong too, and I didn't look at the gate again for the better part of an hour.The night carried on causally and I did my best to not react
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0077: He Made Me The Villain
ALICE'S POVI was still standing half in my own kitchen doorway when the fury caught up with me. Not fear. The exact kind of fury that comes from having your wrist caught mid-swing in front of two nurses and Cole — or whoever he was being called today — like I was the one who needed managing.The knock came twenty minutes later.I almost didn't open it. I knew it was him before I looked — two short knocks, one long, like he'd practiced sounding casual."What do you want?” I snapped at him."Five minutes." He held his hands up, easy, like he wasn't already halfway through the door. "Then I'll go."I let him in. Arguing in the hallway felt worse than arguing in private."You humiliated me in front of the entire courtyard," I said. "By morning every nurse in that clinic will have spread the lies about me going after Lisa Scott unprovoked.""I know.""You know?.""I know exactly what I did. I planned most of it on the walk over." He sat down without being asked, which was infuriating in it
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0063: You Weren't There
Benjamin POVMorning light filled the kitchen, that warm yellow that comes early and doesn't last, and the whole room smelled like pancakes.Lucian sat at the table, swinging his legs under the chair the way he always did — four years old, legs too short to reach the floor, swinging them anyway."D
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0057: Rejection Denied
ALICE'S POVThe bond was still there when I walked out — the same press against my chest it had been since the clearing.The compound was quiet. I crossed the frozen ground barefoot and didn't feel it.John was on the step outside my door, still in his training coat, the cold pressing it flat again
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0053: She Doesn't Want You
BENJAMIN’S POVJohn was at her door before I was.He'd been there a while, leaning on the wall with his arms crossed, planted there already, and the fact of him standing where he was told me everything. She'd known I was coming. He straightened when I came around into the corridor and he didn't mov
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0051: He Gave Her The Way Out
BENJAMIN’S POVJohn had her cornered by the fountain. That was the first thing I saw — the set of his shoulders, his hands easy in his pockets, the whole patient shape of a man waiting for the scene to catch up to an ending he'd already decided on. Alice had her arms crossed. Their voices came thr
