Alpha’s Regret: Begging For My Luna Back novel Chapter 200

The sun rose over the Eternal Packhouse with a soft glow. It was a big day. It wasn’t my day, but in many ways, it felt like it was. Today was the day my sister, Alice, would finally join her soul with Liam.

My relationship with Alice has changed in So Many Ways and I’m here for it because I finally have at sister who I can share everything with and life has never felt this good.

I stood in Alice’s bedroom, surrounded by ribbons of lace and the smell of fresh jasmine. Alice was sitting in front of the mirror. Her hands were shaking so much she couldn’t even hold her hairbrush.

“I can’t do it, Faith,” she whispered. Her voice was small and full of fear. “I’m going to trip. Or worse… Liam is going to realize he’s too good for me and run away.”

I walked over and put my hands on her shoulders. I looked at her reflection. She looked beautiful. She wasn’t wearing the heavy, dark makeup she used to wear when she was trying to impress Astor.

She looked soft. Her blonde hair was pulled back in a loose braid with tiny white flowers tucked into it. She looked like a woman who had finally found herself.

A woman at peace.

“Alice, look at me,” I said gently.

She looked up into my eyes.

“Liam has loved you for years,” I reminded her. “He loved you even when you were being a brat. He loved you even when you were trying to ruin my life. He’s not going to run away now that you’re finally the woman he always knew you could be.”

I don’t think anybody could have done what Liam did and I think it’s one of the things that Alice will have to struggle with for the rest of Her Life because Liam’s sacrifice will always be the biggest reason for her regret and guilt.

Alice let out a shaky breath. She turned around and grabbed my hands. Her palms were sweaty.

“I destroyed your life, Faith,” she said. Tears started to fill her eyes.

“I know,” I said. I didn’t lie to her. We both knew the truth.

“I look at Isabella and I can’t help but feel and sometimes it just makes it so hard to breathe because how could I have kept your baby away from you for 6 years. How can you even stand to be in the same room as me?”

I pulled her up from her chair and wrapped her in a tight hug. I felt her heart beating fast against my chest.

“Because you’re my sister,” I whispered. “And because I saw you change. I saw the moment you loved my daughter with everything you despite the fact that you knew she wasn’t yours. The moment you stopped looking at my husband with wandering eyes. Forgiveness isn’t about forgetting the past, Alice. It’s about choosing a better future. And I choose you.”

Alice sobbed into my shoulder for a minute. It was a good cry. It was the kind of cry that washes away the old dirt so something new can grow.
