Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha's Regret, Begging My Convict Luna Back: Kabanata 251 - Kabanata 260

Aria's POVI stood there silently, my presence filling the doorway. My eyes locked onto Sophia's, sharp and unblinking. A slow, chilling smile curved my lips.“Aria…Sister?” she forced a smile. “What brings you—”I didn’t let her finish.I shoved the door open and grabbed her by the hair.She screamed as pain tore through her scalp, panic flooding her scent. “Are you insane?! There are cameras!”“Thanks for the reminder,” I sneered, dragging her inside.The door slammed shut behind us with a heavy thud.Her politeness shattered. She screamed for help, terror thick in her voice. “Help! Someone help me!”“Help?” I mocked, tightening my grip as she collapsed to the floor beneath me. My wolf loomed large now, very furious.“What are you planning, Aria?” she gasped, trying to sound brave.I laughed, a cold, humorless sound.“What am I planning?”I stepped closer, towering over her as she crumpled at my feet, my shadow swallowing her whole.“You really think Nathan can’t find out what you’v

Nathan's POVPain lanced through me anyway. I spoke again, desperate now, even dragging Lana into it like a shield. “If you’re not satisfied, I’ll have Collins reinvestigate everything. But come home first. Lana is still at the villa, can you really not be at ease?”Her jaw was set. She looked at me like I was a joke.Her lips curved upward, but there was no warmth in it. “I will be at ease” she said calmly. “Once I’ve beaten those who want to harm Lana into submission and fear, she’ll be perfectly safe.”Before I could react, she raised her hand again.The whip cracked through the air.Sophia’s face drained of color as her legs gave out beneath her. She collapsed to the floor, the scent of her terror filled the room.“Nathan, save me!” she screamed, crawling toward me on trembling hands.“Collins, take Sophia out!” I barked, sidestepping her grasp as I ordered him.Collins moved instantly, hauling Sophia away but I never loosened my grip on Aria.That was my mistake.In a flash, Aria

Aria's POVIgnoring Nathan, I turned my attention to the moving team and instructed them to take my things out.Lana shifted in my arms, letting out a soft sound.Rowland stood protectively behind me, guiding me towards the exit.I didn’t need to turn to know Nathan was still standing there. For a split second, my wolf stirred uneasily. I turned slightly and caught the flash of panic in his eyes before he masked it.Rowland glanced back too. His gaze skimmed over Nathan briefly before returning to me.I slid into Rowland’s limited-edition Ferrari, the leather cool beneath my fingers, and we headed straight for Shevron Estates.As the city unfolded around us, memories pressed in. I saw familiar streets. My nose burned slightly, not from pain but emotion. I’d been gone too long. Yet for once, there was nothing blocking my path forward.At the entrance, Kara was already waiting.Shevron Estates had frozen my residency when my funds were locked. The moment Nathan restored my accounts, I’d

Aria's POVI knew exactly what Kara meant.I answered her simply even though I knew that was not the answer she needed.“One’s my ex-husband’s nephew,” I said as I carried Lana from her, rocking her in my arms, “the other is a business partner.”My voice stayed calm, but my wolf flicked her tail in mild amusement.Kara’s jaw dropped. She already knew those definitions I had given her.I felt her gaze linger on me. She rubbed her chin thoughtfully.I nudged her arm gently.“Huh?” she blinked.“Lana might be hungry,” I reminded her.Kara instantly hurried to the kitchen to prepare a bottle of food for Lana.Left alone, I carried Lana into my study. The room smelled faintly of paper, graphite, and cedar.It was comforting and familiar. I settled into my chair, Lana warm and solid against me, and reached for my sketchbook.The moment my pencil touched paper, my phone rang.“Hey,” Francis’s voice came through, clear and steady. “I heard you’re out of the hospital. How are you holding up?”

Aria's POVThe moment I stepped into the lounge of the Starlight Bar, I felt it.The air was thick with alcohol, arrogance, and territorial tension that scraped against my wolf’s senses. My gaze landed on Rowland first.His lips were curved upward, but the amusement I remembered was gone, replaced by a chill so sharp it pricked my skin.Rowland lowered his gaze, his fingers tapping idly against the rim of his glass. The faint clinks echoed strangely loud to my ears, falling into rhythm with his heartbeat. The overhead light cast shadows across his face, obscuring his expression, but my wolf didn’t need to see it to know.His eyes kept drifting toward the staircase, as though he was waiting for someone.I slid my phone into my pocket and stepped up to their table.“What are you doing?”My voice cut cleanly through the noise, cool and edged with displeasure.Rowland’s head snapped up instantly.The chill around him vanished like mist under moonlight. His eyes locked onto me with fierce
