A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

BOOK 2 CHAPTER 20

Rowan’s POV

That afternoon, I 1 was in my office when I heard a slight knock on my door. Whoever it was must have received permission from the warriors at the reception. I thought it might have been Mika or Gideon, but as the knock resounded the second time, I realized it wouldn’t be either of those two.

They were too rude to knock twice. They would’ve barged in without bothering to wait for my instructions.

“Come in,” I ordered. I turned back to the laptop in front of me. I was busy going through some of the pack’s monthly updates to see what could be improved. We were increasing in number and there was a dire need to increase the importation of some products.

I was getting closer to a conclusion. A distraction wasn’t something I needed at that moment. I hoped whoever it was would make it quick and get the hell out of my office.

Although the door opened like ten seconds ago, I didn’t lift up my eyes until I was done with my current page.

“What do you want?” I asked the familiar face. I was sure I’d seen her several times in the pack

“Im Ella, Harriette’s sister,” she answered.

At the mention of Harriette’s name, I lifted my head to look at her. Even though she and Harriette shared a few similarities, nothing about them made them look like sisters. They were like two different people trained to look like they were the same person.

“And?” I replied nonchalantly. I shouldn’t act interested in whoever she was just because she mentioned Harriette’s name.

“Alpha Rowan, I’m here to make you an offer, can I sit?”

I chucked. I wish I had a microscope to check where she got that audacity from “Keep standing. Tell me, what offer is this?” She stared at me. I raised an eyebrow and she looked away.

“Harriette is planning to escape the pack tonight,” she revealed.

Even though my facial expression didn’t change, I twisted my palm into a tight fist underneath the table.

I should’ve known something like this would happen after I asked her to come clean about who she was.

“She told me that you found out we lied about our pack and she’s planning on leaving,” she explained further.

“She? Or both of you?” I asked her,

“Both of us but I don’t want us to leave, Alpha Rowan,”

She confessed.

I raised an eyebrow. “How does this concern me?”

“Harriette is a good asset to your pack and so am I. I believe it’ll be a terrible mistake if you allow us to leave. I really like it here. I can’t leave and go back to the hellhole we came from,”

She cried.

As I looked at her, there was not a bit of honesty in her. I shouldn’t be surprised anyway, she was Harriette’s ‘supposed sister. Lying was one more thing they shared in common.

I smirked. “Where do I come in with all of these?” I asked her.

“Stop

us from escaping,” she declared. What? Did I hear her right? or was I mistaken!

“Why would I do that? My warriors would be glad to watch you both fry to death as you try to get across the barbed wires,”

“What life are you pluming to escape? Lasked her one last question

“Mislight,” she answered.

Her willingness to snitch on her sister without rest was suspicious. In fact,

fact, it made her more suspicious than Harriette.

“Remember this later tonight, you stole from me and that is the reason why you’re running. Harriette doesn’t know you stole this and she wanted to leave because you begged her to,” she stared at me in confusion lelore it became clear to her.

I brought out a red diamond and gave it to her

“Thank you”

She said gently, her

“You can leave my office now.”

I commanded. As she walked out of the room, I smirked,

Harriette was really planning on escaping because the option of coming clean seemed too far fetched for her. That meant whatever she was trying to hide was crazy.

I took out my phone and stared at the picture of her knife again. I placed my hand underneath my chin and kept staring. Something about that knife was nerve–wracking.

Once it was close to ten night, Mika walked into my

“We have to patrol the borders,”

I shook my heal. “Not tonight.”

She frowned. “Why?”

“We’re going on a hunt. I said with a smirk.

Mika grimmed like a predator. “Who?“

“Someone stole from me. A girl and her sister,” I informed her.

“Someone I know”

– She rubbard her palons against each other and smirked excitedly. “What time!” :

I turned to her. “In two hours,”

By idnight. Mika. Gideon, and I lay in ambush waiting for Harriette and her sister. What was her name again?

Not long after that, they both walked out of their building, looking around to see if anything or anyone was around.

They soon both took different routes.

Tll go after Harriette, you both go after Ella,”

Gideon instructed. Both Mika and I turned to him and I raised an eyebrow.

“What did I do this time?” Gideon asked, looking guilty and scared.

“Why are you giving out instructions as if we’re your subordinates?” Mika asked.

Gideon bowed. “Im sorry, Alpha,”

“Mention Harriette’s name again and I’ll glue your lips together,”

1 threatened as I walked after Harriette.

After I brought her back from the border to my office, her wound was my major concern. All the drama her sister pulled didn’t bother me as much as the wound.

We’d set poisoned silver close to the border because of intruders and I didn’t believe Harriette would be one of the victims. It made me almost regret my decision of putting those things at the border.

As soon as I dismissed the rest, I attended to her. I brought out the knife so I could get the poison out.

Harriette lost consciousness. I picked her up and took her to my apartment so she could heal better and faster.

“Alpha Rowan,” Mika called from the other end of the door.

I flung my door open. Her eyes traced the blood on my shirt.

“It’s not mine. What’s going on?”

“The Werewolf King is here,”

Rowan’s POV

“The werewolf king is here.”

Mika repeated the second time since she didn’t get a reaction from me the first time.

That happened because I wasn’t expecting him in my pack at this time of the day. I turned back to look at the granny’s clock in my apartment. It was almost two in the morning.

“Rowan.

I glared at her. “What?”

“I said the werewolf..”

“I heard you the first time, I told her. I heard her perfectly well both times. I just didn’t know how to react to the news of my father being in my father even after I told him not to come.

“We have to meet him at the gates. We can’t just let him come in like that,”

I fucking hated that man more than my life. I hated my life quite a lot but I hated the king more.

“Get all the warriors to the gate, I instructed

What about Harriette?”

“She’s wounded. Release her sister and make her stay here with Harriette for the next few hours, Mika raised an eyebrow. She was probably surprised at the fact that Harriette was in my room.

“Okay, Alpha,”

She sent out a mind link to every one of our warriors. Including those on duty and those off duty. A number of them joined Mika and me as we marched towards the gate.

“We can’t turn him back, Alpha Rowan, Mika advised on our way.

“What if I do?” I spat.

“We would be disrespecting the werewolf king and that might lead to war. Remember when you started this place, you promised you wouldn’t have to spill the blood of these rogues at any point just to keep the foundation strong. I know you and Thome want blood but please, let’s do this the right way.”

She explained. I ignored her and kept walking

True to my intuition, my father wasn’t alone. He was with several people that might exceed twenty. There was no way in hell I’d allow all of them in and starve my people.

Immediately the gates were opened, I stepped out. My father also stepped out of his car. He removed the scarf he used to cover his face and came right to me.

“I’m guessing your people at the palace don’t know you’re here,” I asked, pointing at the disguise.

“Not everything should be told,” he answered.

“You should’ve called. We’re not in the medieval era,” I spat.

He nodded and chuckled. “I did but my son refused to pick up my call.”

That was true. I’d been ignoring his calls for a while. I didn’t want him in my pack. Even though he wasn’t invited or wanted, he still made his way here.

“Text messages?” I asked.

“If you didn’t pick up my calls, why would you reply to my texts

He answered sarcastically.

The Werewolf King was one of those people who deemed himself intelligent and would want to show off at every opportunity they gut.

“Why are you here?” I asked.

“To discuss something with you. Will you allow me into your…” he stopped, looking confused..

“Rogue pack, you can say it. It won’t kill you or make you any less of a king.”

I answered angrily.

He growled. “Allow me into your pack,” he finished his statement.

I looked to see his men behind him.

“They’re too many. My people would starve if I let them all in,”

“That’s no problem. They can stay at a nearby hotel in one of the human towns. How many can you take?” He asked.

“Three,” I answered.

“Seven, Rowan,”

“Five and that’s the most I can do,” I said through gritted teeth. NôvelDrama.Org content.

“Five it is,”

I walked back into my pack and his chief security guy picked four other men to enter into the pack with them.

“How old is your dad again, he looks so young?”

Mika whispered behind me. I turned to glare at her. My father had me when he was eighteen. He was young but he was a prince. That was a deadly combination. He never owned up to the responsibility. He left me for whoever was ready to take care of me and that exposed me to a lot of things.

Not for once did he look back.

Until now.

The craziest thing was I was his exact carbon copy. We could pass for twins since he refused to look his age and I looked exactly my age.

“I’m sure you’ve missed me,” He said before he entered his car.

I squinted my eyes at him and thank goodness he was fast and smart enough to enter the car, I would’ve broken the hand he placed on my shoulder.

One of our cars led their two cars to my house. Aside from the apartment I used at the Alpha’s building. I had my own personal residence ten buildings away from the administration building.

Reluctantly, I joined him in my house.

I dropped my car keys loudly on the dining table and turned to him. He was looking around the house while his security details walked around to see if it was safe.

I snorted.

“This is a good house,”

It complimented.

I scoffed. “Stop pretending. Since when did you care about fucking shit like that?” I spat.

Language, Rowan,” he cautioned.
