All Chapters of My Alpha Ex-Husband Regrets: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Trista’s POV My jaw dropped open. Startled and stunned, I turned towards Johnson. What did he just say? I was trying to defend him in front of the entire pack. And he was declaring his culpability in the attack? “Johnson,” I hissed under my teeth, my jaw tight. “What are you doing?” “Come here,” he said softly. All eyes were on us. Awkwardly, I approached the bars of the cage. “I can’t do this anymore,” he said. “I can’t keep pretending that I’m not a monster.” My breath hitched. I clamped my hands down over his. “You’re not,” I told him. Suddenly, I wasn’t aware of the gawking pack anymore. Johnson was my only focus. His face was tortured. His hands were cold. “I am,” he shrugged. “I attacked someone, Trista. An innocent person. I killed my uncle. I…” “That wasn’t you,” I said firmly. “That was your wolf. And you can learn to control it.” He

Trista’s POV “It’s just so tragic.” Jules stood at the edge of the cage. His hands were wrapped around the bars. His eyes were sad. “I mean, look at him. Locked up like an animal. Tragic isn’t even the right word. He looks awful.” “I’m right here, Jules,” Johnson quipped. This was Jules’ routine. Every morning, he brought us breakfast. Then he tossed himself into a dramatic rant about the ‘tragedy’. I couldn’t fault him. It was just how Jules was. Jules was adapting to pack life. He was still getting used to the idea that he was a werewolf, since his parents had hid the truth from him his entire life. The pack was kind to him though. He’d made a few friends. The effects of the very potent suppressants he’d been taking his whole were still wearing off. He was nowhere near ready to shift. But he was, in Jules fashion, embracing his ‘werewolfness’, as he put it. “He’s fine, Ju

Trista’s POV Johnson gripped the bars. The children stood silent. Their faces said it all. They were afraid. My heart pounded against my rib cage. “What bad men?” I asked, dropping to my knees. Belle was at eye level now. “The bad men in the forest,” she said. “I’m sorry Mamma. We shouldn’t have done it. I knew we shouldn’t. But we…” “Did what? Belle, I need you to slow down.” She was sobbing so hard she could barely breathe. “Parker?” I asked. He stepped forward. His clothes were smeared with dirt. He wrung his hands. “We…I…we dared him,” Parker confessed. My eyes narrowed. “Dared him to do what?” “To…” Parker glanced back at the boys behind him. They all had their eyes down. “To step outside. Through the wall.” Oh. My. Moon goddess. “Outside the wall?” My voice was barely a whisper. “Hm hm,” Parker nodded. That meant…Billy had gone outside t

Trista’s POV Johnson’s’ Lycan burst out of him. It was a flurry of white fur. It happened so fast. We didn’t even have time to react. The Lycan stood on two legs. A towering beast. It’s eye shone red in the moonlight. For a moment none of us could say anything. He was the most terrifying thing I'd ever seen in my life. Felicity coward. The guards recoiled. Beside me, Hazel gasped. I blinked rapidly, unable to believe what I was seeing.Johnson had told me about his wolf. But I never thought it would be anything like this. Its lips curled back over its sharp teeth. He snarled. Then his eyes locked onto Felicity.“Johnson,” I screamed. “No.”But it was too late. He was already lunging towards her. He moved faster than any animal I'd ever seen. It was mind boggling. The guards drew their swords. They steadied themselves.But their swords were no match for Johnson's Lycan.Somehow, Felicity managed to get out of the way right before the Lycan clamped down

Trista’s POVJohnson was tormented. I could see it in his eyes. I knew he loved me, but the news about the Lycan Erashai sent his mind spinning. He grappled with it.“It’s nothing we need to decide right now,” I said softly.I rested my head on his shoulder. It felt so good to be close to him. Safe. Comforting. I could hear his heart beating in his chest. Smell the masculine scent of his sweat.“You can’t accept the bond, Trista,” he told me. “It's too dangerous.” “But,” I said, “back at the pack, you overtook your Lycan. We all saw it. You fought against him and pushed him back.”“No,” Johnson shook his head. “That's not what happened. It was my other wolf that pulled him back. I'm not strong enough. I can't stop him from coming. And I can't make him go back when he comes. You can't accept this bond,” he said. “My bad wolf will win. And if we’re bonded, he’ll take you down with him.”“Serena would never let that happen,” I told him.“Serena doesn't have a say in this,” he told me bl
