Alpha's regrets Pregnant Rejected Luna

Kaida

The plane touched down in Crestwood just as the sun began to peek over the horizon. I rubbed my tired eyes, my nerves jumbled from the long flight and everything that had happened. My heart ached from the weight of it all, but a tiny flicker of hope kept me going. At least I wasn't alone.

As I made my way through the arrivals, a familiar figure came into view, standing just outside the terminal. Dahlia, my older sister, was already waiting for me. Despite the early hour, she looked awake and alert, her dark hair pulled back into a neat ponytail, a warm smile on her face.

"Kaida!" she called out, her arms opening wide as I approached.

I fell into her embrace, holding her tightly, feeling the comforting warmth of someone who understood. "Thank you for coming," I whispered.

"Of course," she replied softly, pulling back to study my face. "Come on, let's get you home."

Dahlia drove us through the quiet streets of Crestwood, the early morning mist still hanging in the air. The pack's territory was larger than I expected, sprawling through the outskirts of the city, surrounded by dense forests. It felt secluded, almost peaceful.

When we arrived at her house, Dahlia helped me settle in. Her home was cozy, tucked away in a quiet part of the pack's residential area. It felt warm and inviting, a stark contrast to the cold, empty house I had left behind.

"Sit down," she said, guiding me to the kitchen table. "I'll make us something to eat."noveldrama

I watched as she moved around the kitchen, preparing breakfast. The smell of eggs and toast filled the air, comforting in its simplicity. After a few minutes, she set a plate in front of me and sat across from me.

"So," she began gently, "tell me everything."

I took a deep breath, unsure of where to even start. But the words spilled out anyway - the divorce, the betrayal, the pregnancy, the risks. I told her how everything had happened so fast, how Kaelen had already moved on with his fated mate, and how I was left with the uncertainty of my future, carrying twins that Kaelen didn't even know about.

Dahlia listened intently, her brow furrowing as I spoke. When I finally finished, she reached across the table and squeezed my hand.

"I'm so sorry, Kaida," she said softly, her eyes filled with sympathy. "But you're not alone in this. I'm here, and I'm going to help you through this. We'll figure it out together."

Her words brought a sense of relief I hadn't realized I needed. I nodded, blinking back tears. "Thank you, Dahlia. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"You don't have to do it alone," she reminded me. "You're stronger than you think, Kaida. And those babies... they're a blessing, even if it doesn't feel like it right now."

Her words soothed the ache in my chest, and for the first time in a while, I allowed myself to believe that maybe, just maybe, I could get through this.

By the time daylight filtered through the curtains, I was feeling a little more like myself. Dahlia glanced at her watch and stood up, smiling mischievously.

"So, I've got to go see Ben this morning," she said, mentioning her boyfriend. "He's the Beta to our Alpha, Bastian Darkmoor. Why don't you come with me?"

I hesitated, the idea of meeting new people after everything that had happened felt overwhelming. "I don't know, Dahlia. I'm not really in the mood..."

"Oh, come on," she urged, her eyes gleaming. "It'll be good for you to get out of the house. Plus, I'll be with you the whole time. Just come meet Ben. You'll like him, I promise."

Her insistence wore me down, and before I knew it, she was pulling me toward her bedroom, rummaging through her closet for something for me to wear. She picked out a soft sweater and jeans, then moved on to styling my hair.

"You need a little pick-me-up," she said, as she brushed my hair and applied light makeup to my face. "It's time to remind the world how beautiful my baby sister is."

I couldn't help but smile a little at her enthusiasm. Dahlia had always been the

more outgoing one, and even though I didn't feel much like socializing, her energy was contagious.

By the time she was done with

painting my face, I stared in awe at the extraordinary beauty that reflected in the mirror. The duties and responsibilities of being a Luna must have weighed heavily on me that it made me feel like I was old. By the way, I'm just twenty-four.

When we finally left the house, I felt more put together than I had in days. The drive to Darkmoor Company, where Ben worked, was short, and as we pulled up

to the towering office building, my nerves started to creep back in.

"Relax,” Dahlia said with a grin as she parked the car. "It's just Ben and a few other pack members. You'll be fine."

Inside the sleek, modern building, Dahlia led me straight to Ben's office. He was waiting for us, a tall, broad-shouldered man with a kind smile. His presence was calming, and I instantly understood why Dahlia was so smitten with him. "Kaida, this is Ben," she introduced us. "Ben, this is my little sister."

"Nice to meet you," Ben said warmly, extending a hand.

"Nice to meet you, too," I replied, shaking his hand, feeling a little more at ease.

As the three of us chatted, I felt the tension in my shoulders slowly start to melt away. Ben was easy to talk to, and I appreciated the way he made me feel comfortable without asking too many personal questions.

But as the conversation continued, I

became aware of a set of eyes on

me. A man, standing a few feet

away, was watching me intently. He was tall, with dark hair and piercing eyes that seemed to see right through me. His presence was commanding, almost magnetic, and I found it hard to look away.

Dahlia noticed my gaze and leaned in, whispering, "That's Alpha Bastian Darkmoor."

My heart skipped a beat. Alpha Bastian. The name held weight, even to someone

like me, who had just arrived in the pack. His reputation preceded him - a

powerful, enigmatic leader who ruled with authority and strength.

When our eyes met again, I quickly looked away, feeling my cheeks flush with embarrassment. Dahlia gave me a knowing smile, nudging me playfully. "Careful, sis. The Alpha doesn't usually stare at just anyone."

I shot her a look, but she only winked in response.

The rest of the conversation with

Ben felt like a blur, my thoughts distracted by the intensity of the Alpha's gaze. When we finally wrapped up and said our goodbyes, I felt a strange sense of relief and curiosity. Why had he been staring at me?

As Dahlia and I walked out of the building, she linked her arm with mine. "So,

what did you think?"

"Ben seems great," I said, dodging the real topic on my mind.

"And the Alpha?" she teased, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

I rolled my eyes, trying to play it off, but the truth was, Alpha Bastian had left an

impression. I just wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not.
