Alpha's Regret Too Late to Love Me novel Chapter 257

Sarah’s POV

I held my breath, my eyes fixed intently on the car door as it opened wider.

A familiar silhouette emerged into the night air, but my heart sank immediately. It wasn’t Alexander-the man.l’d been thinking about day and night since our paths had crossed again.

The light in my eyes dimmed as disappointment washed over me.

Jeremy, Alexander’s personal assistant, spotted us immediately. His face lit up with relief as if he’d just found salvation. He waved frantically in my direction while hurrying toward us.

“Ms. Winters! Ms. Winters!!” he called out desperately. “Please come help! Alpha Blackwood is completely drunk!”

Alexander drunk? The concept seemed almost foreign. In all our years together, I’d rarely seen him lose control like that.

Instinctively, I took a step forward, my body moving before my mind could process the implications. The butler, however, quickly intervened.

“Ms. Winters, this isn’t appropriate for a lady,” he stated formally.”

Please allow me to handle this situation.”

I couldn’t argue with his reasoning-at least not without revealing how intimately I once knew the man they were carrying.

Instead, I followed silently alongside the butler as they lifted Alexander’s barely conscious form from the car.

My breath caught as I got a closer look at him. Two buttons had been torn from his collar, revealing the muscular chest I once knew so well.His head hung limply, but I could clearly see a dark red wound on his forehead

It wasn’t deep, but it appeared to have bled profusely. Though someone had cleaned his face, dried blood still stained his neck and collar.

My fingers itched with the desire to tend to him, to clean his wounds as I’d done countless times before.

So he had returned suddenly tonight, driving recklessly in his emotional state. Somehow he’d managed to injure himself rather than Alpha Nate.

Typical Alexander-injured yet avoiding the hospital, choosing instead to drown himself in alcohol. His thought process had always been impossible to follow using normal human logic.

“Since last night, Alpha Blackwood has been inexplicably furious,” he continued. “Nothing I do pleases him. Nothing I say sounds right to his ears.

Everything seems to irritate him, as if l’ve personally wronged him in the worst possible way.”

Jeremy lowered his voice, though Alexander was clearly in no state to hear us. “He’s always been cold and somewhat peculiar in temperament, but rarely prone to outbursts.

Now, he’s frighteningly unpredictable. I feared for my life spending another second with him in that state.”

I had to stifle a laugh at Jeremy’s dramatic description.

The Alexander I knew could be intense and demanding, yes, but he wasn’t the monster Jeremy was portraying. I opened my mouth to contradict him when-

“What a fortunate coincidence you’re here, Ms. Winters,” he said, not sounding coincidental at all.

“Perhaps you should stay tonight and look after Alpha Blackwood?He’s in no condition to be left alone, and I’m sure you’d worry about him all night if you went home now, wouldn’t you?”
