Nyra’s POV

Ever since Mila caught me kissing Eli, I had not been myself and I did all I could to avoid him because the truth was ugly. I did not know why I kissed him back and that was the part I hated most.

If he had forced himself on me, I could have blamed him.

If I had planned it, I could have blamed myself.

But neither happened.

For one reckless moment, I wanted it too.

And that made no sense.

I had wanted Dorian.

Always Dorian.

His control.

His strength.

His refusal to notice me only made

  • The Beta's Regret: ONCE REJECTED, NOW MY EX'S QUEEN    CHAPTER 163

    Nyra's POVI left the twins' chamber with one thought burning through my mind.Caden.For years, I had wondered what kind of man could destroy an entire truth and convince himself he was doing the right thing. I had watched from a distance as he carried the weight of secrets he refused to reveal, hiding behind the title of Alpha and the excuse of protection. Everyone in this palace saw him as a powerful ruler, a man who could command armies and bend others to his will.But I saw the cracks.I saw the guilt he carried every time someone mentioned the past.I saw the fear behind his anger.And now I knew the time had come to make him face the one thing he had spent years running from.The truth.My steps echoed through the palace corridors as I moved toward his office. Guards and servants lowered their heads as I passed, but I barely noticed them. Their whispers followed behind me like shadows. Everyone in this palace had questions about me. They wondered why I had returned, why The One

  • The Beta's Regret: ONCE REJECTED, NOW MY EX'S QUEEN    CHAPTER 162

    Alpha Caden's POVThe name refused to leave my mind.Nyra.It echoed through every corner of my thoughts like a curse that had finally awakened after years of silence. Prophecies were never careless with names. Every word spoken by The One carried weight, and every name held purpose. If Nyra had become the condition for Sera's survival, then every calculation I had made over the years had just become meaningless. I had spent decades preparing for one future while destiny quietly carved another behind my back.I crossed the remaining distance to my desk with heavy steps. For the first time in years, the office that had always been my place of certainty felt unfamiliar. The shelves filled with ancient records, maps, and sealed documents suddenly seemed useless. None of them contained answers for what was unfolding now. I slowly lowered myself into my chair, the leather creaking beneath my weight as exhaustion settled deep into my bones.I rested my elbows on the desk and rubbed my templ

  • The Beta's Regret: ONCE REJECTED, NOW MY EX'S QUEEN    CHAPTER 161

    Dorian's POVThe room fell into a suffocating silence the moment Nyra stopped speaking. Every pair of eyes remained fixed on her, waiting for something—an explanation, a confession, or even a single crack in the calm mask she wore. Instead, she simply stood there, unreadable. Her expression never shifted, and the quiet confidence in her posture unsettled me far more than anger ever could. It was the kind of silence that made every instinct inside me scream that something was terribly wrong.Rather than answering any of us, Nyra slowly turned toward Enzo and Damien. My sons instinctively moved closer together, their identical faces carrying the same mixture of curiosity and caution. Even after everything they had witnessed over the past few days, they were still children. Nyra lowered herself until she was at their height. Her movements were slow and careful, as though she feared that one sudden action would frighten them away. The black robe draped around her shoulders spread gently

  • The Beta's Regret: ONCE REJECTED, NOW MY EX'S QUEEN    CHAPTER 160

    Alpha Caden's POVThe silence inside the hospital room became heavier the moment Mila lifted her eyes to mine. The color had barely returned to her face after everything she had endured, yet there was still enough strength in her to ask the one question I had spent years dreading. Her fingers tightened around the edge of the blanket as though she already feared the answer before she even spoke. There was uncertainty in her eyes, but beneath it burned hope—a fragile hope that perhaps, after everything, she would finally know the truth about the woman who had brought her into this world. I stood rooted beside her bed, unable to breathe as memories I had buried clawed their way back to the surface. I saw laughter echoing through forgotten gardens, promises whispered beneath moonlit skies, blood staining white stone, and a pair of desperate eyes begging me to protect their child no matter the cost. Every promise I had made returned to haunt me in a single heartbeat, and for the first tim

  • The Beta's Regret: ONCE REJECTED, NOW MY EX'S QUEEN    CHAPTER 159

    ALPHA CADEN'S POVThe hospital room grew noticeably quieter after Dorian and Sera stepped outside. The soft sound of the closing door echoed briefly before silence settled over the room once again. For several moments, I remained standing exactly where I was, unable to convince my feet to move. My eyes rested on Mila's tired face as she lay against the white pillows, her breathing steady but far weaker than it should have been. The healers had assured us that her body would recover with enough rest, yet I could still see the traces of whatever nightmare she had survived. The scratches decorating her arms, the bruises hidden beneath the edge of the blanket, and the emptiness lingering inside her eyes all told the same story. My daughter had walked through hell, and while she was fighting to survive, I had been locked inside my own chamber drowning in guilt, ancient prophecies, and the consequences of decisions I had made years ago. For the first time in a very long while, none of thos

  • The Beta's Regret: ONCE REJECTED, NOW MY EX'S QUEEN    CHAPTER 158

    DORIAN'S POVThe silence that settled inside the chamber after Nyra mentioned Lena's death felt unnatural. Sera still held her hand gently, her face filled with sympathy as she tried to comfort a woman she had always considered family. Enzo and Damien remained unusually quiet beside us, sensing that the cheerful atmosphere from only moments earlier had disappeared completely. I watched Nyra carefully while everyone else focused on her grief, and although I genuinely believed she was mourning her mother, something inside me refused to accept that her return was entirely because of Lena's death. Ever since Sera came back into my life, my instincts had sharpened in ways I could not explain, and they had saved us more than once. Those same instincts were now telling me that Nyra had not walked back into the Voss Palace simply because she needed answers from Alpha Caden. There was another reason hidden beneath everything she had told us, and the longer I studied her expression, the strong
