A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret



BOOK 2: CHAPTER 65

Harriette's POV (This is the first of the next few chapters where the name "Harriette will be used)

Later in the evening, Dad went back to his pack. I followed him in his car until we got to the borders, and I gave him a note to pass on to Ella.

I'd written some important things to her but one of them that was my greatest wish was; "I hope you find yourself too,"

Ella and I were so close and inseparable for as long as I could remember because we were brought to Mother the same day. We took one glance at each other as kids, and that kind of sealed our fate as friends.

As I returned to Rowan's office, screams echoed in my head. Ever since I got back my memory, it was as though those screams haunted me. It wasn't just any scream-it was the terrified cries of the other children echoing in the darkness, mingling with mine and Ella's as they tormented us, forcing us to forget who we once were.

From what I could remember, we were five but just Ella and I walked out of that room.

Alive.

“I fucking hate him. Can I kill him? No, but what the fuck am I supposed to do? Try to kill him again, maybe,”

The loud mumbling and frantic soliloquies came from the art room. A lot of people walking by had to pause questionable look on their faces but no one dared to go near the room.

with a

I also frowned as I took in those murderous threats, fearing for whoever it was. I opened the door and it was Mika.

She was aggressively painting in the room. Her brush had broken in half but she was still using it. I didn't quite understand whatever it was she was trying to paint but it was dark, really dark.

"Commander Mika,"

í called out.

She paused, took a one-second glance at me, and turned back to her painting.

"Harriette, hi,"

I smiled weirdly not knowing how what I was about to say would sound to her.

"It's Reina now,"

She paused again but glared at me this time. "It'll take me years to adjust, so forgive me if I end up calling you Harriette

tomorrow,"Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She answered through gritted teeth.

“It's fine. Just call me Reina Once in a while, it will help me to accept myself better,”

Hexplained.

"Well, Good luck on your self-acceptance journey," she spat.

"Ooh,"

That was the only thing I could say. I'd never been on the receiving end of that side of Commander Mika. I turned, ready to

leave the room since it would be better for me to leave her alone. She was probably mad about something and it would be silly of me to stay behind and try to engage again.

She suddenly stopped painting and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, Harr- Reina," she let out my name in a loud gasp at the end.

"It's okay. What's wrong?"

"My entire life," she whined. I walked closer to her and fidgeted for a while like an idiot before I finally hugged her.

She let out a breath. "I needed that, thanks," she mumbled.

I wasn't much of a hugger so I quickly removed myself from her and threw my hands in my pocket. Why did I stupidly hug her like that? She didn't ask for it.

"Do you want to talk about it?"I asked her.

“I tried to kill my mate years ago, he managed to survive and now he's here and he's getting on my nerves,”

She answered all at once. I bet she didn't want to go into too much detail.

The rumors about her killing her mate were true. It was only an exaggeration that she ate him too and that didn't surprise me. Rumors tend to have newer versions as they move from one person to another.

"Do I know him?"

"Alexander,"

I furrowed my eyebrows. I'd heard that name somewhere but how come I don't know...

Mika interrupted my thoughts as though she could read my mind.

"Rowan's brother,"

I snapped my fingers when it finally made sense.

"Woah. That's serious,"

"I know right? I've been trying to avoid him all my life and now, he's here, ready to remind me of what I did,"

"You didn't do it on purpose," I told her.

She shook her head and scoffed. "I did it on purpose,"

My eyes went wide as I took in her words.

"We're almost the same,"

She snapped her gaze at me. "What?"

"I just didn't win,"

I only said. I was right. I tried to hurt Rowan too but I never won and I'm glad I failed all those times. I could've killed my mate and that would have scarred me forever.

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

I shook my head. "It doesn't matter. Sometimes, facing your fear might be the only way to conquer it," I advised her.

"I can't face this one,"

I placed my hand on her shoulder. "What's been done has been done. You can't go back to the past to rectify it. All you can do is forgive yourself and move on. The best way you can do that is to be bold and open about your mistake and face your fear even though he's crazy. Just show him you're as crazy as he is,"

She laughed as she found my words funny.

"I'm serious, Mika. Try it out and see,"

"Is that what they taught you growing up?" She asked me.

Reluctantly, I nodded. It was the first thing Mother taught me. And that wasn't all. She always ended that with, 'Never feel guilty for a sin. It's called a sin because it's birthed with guilt. Thinking of that now, I realized most of what Mother taught us were wrong philosophies about life.

"I'll see you, later. Commander Mika,"

"You too, sunshine,"

I waved at her and walked out of the room. It wasn't until I came out that I realized it was late in the night already. I'd spent so much time with Mika that I didn't even realize how late it was

Instead of going to Rowan's office as planned, I went to my room, the same one Ella and I used. Even before I entered, I knew someone was behind that door.

Someone important to me.

"Do we get to continue what we started earlier?"

I asked Rowan with a mischievous grin on my face. He smirked

"Is that all you can think about?" He asked as he walked towards me.

"It's all I've been thinking about,"

He held the back of my neck and captured my lips in a toe-curling soul-wrecking kiss. His mouth quickly found my neck and I gasped for air as he nibbled on my neck

"I'll mark you right here," He growled against my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

Hurriedly, I grabbed his shirt and started releasing those buttons, I suddenly felt suffocated in my own clothes.

Rowan brought his lips back to mine and instead of kissing me, he pulled at my bottom lip, teasing me. When I frowned at him, he smirked.

"You're such a tease," I cried.

And you think you aren't. Imagine how much I had to stop myself from taking you on my office desk today,"

Rowan bent down on one knee and kissed my thigh. "Why didn't you?" I asked him as I mourned at the feel of his soft, warm lips against my thigh. He was moving up just as I wanted him to

He suddenly stopped and I whined. He pulled my dress over my head. I finally could breathe again.

flis eyes washed over my body and I could see the pleasure in them.

Do you like what you see?" I asked him, giggling.

Thu, Nov

"More than you can imagine."

I didn't wait for him to complete his response when I removed his belt.

"Easy, tiger," He said, his lips capturing mine again.

Rowan guided me slowly to the bed, his eyes never leaving mine for once and I wasn't ready to look away from himn either. He kissed me slowly before he moved slowly to my neck and to my chest. He licked my right nipple, sucking and gently biting down. I threw my head to the back as I

moaned out his name.

"You like that,"

"Yes," I cried. I wanted more. I needed more.

Rowan went down further till he got to the middle of my legs. He removed my panties and took a good look at it. I shrugged, it was one of those things Thorne bought for me the last time.

He looked up at me with those beautiful eyes and I melted under his gaze. He placed chaste kisses on my inner thigh and I breathed heavily as he got closer and closer to the wet, dripping folds between my legs.

"Yeah right, just like that," I screamed out as he kissed my wet folds. He teased me with his tongue a bit before he started sucking hard. I was a complete mess in his hands and I didn't mind that.

I could be in that position all the days of my life and I wouldn't hate it.

He removed his trousers and his briefs. I took one glance at his hard member and I licked my bottom lips. It was huge and long. I was supposed to be scared but I love me a challenge.

As Rowan buried himself inside of me, he paused.

"Tell me if it hurts,"

"It does but can you move?" I begged him. It wasn't a request this time, it was a plea.

He moved out slowly but then, he moved in again and I sucked in a deep breath. Once I got used to the pleasure and the pain, Rowan moved faster.

He was fucking me so hard and I rewarded him with loud moans.

He buried his face in my neck and asked, "Should I?"

I nodded. "Do I get to mark

you

too?"

"If you want to," He answered.

Something built up within me and made the entire experience even more breathtaking. Just as it was about to let go, Rowan sank his fangs into my

neck. I began shaking frantically. He let go of my neck and licked the spot where he had just marked

1. me.

Rowan began kissing my face. "You just had your first orgasm, baby and I promise not to make it your last," He whispered.

I could still feel the pain from the mark but my orgasm was far better.

"Would you mark me now?" He asked.

I raised my hand. I needed a few minutes to regulate my breathing. Once I was ready, I marked Rowan just as planned.

Just like that, our fate as mates was sealed forever.
