Alpha's regrets Pregnant Rejected Luna novel Chapter 4

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.”

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.”
