I Regret Being Alpha’s Secret Mate novel Chapter 162

Chapter 145

He’d let me lash out at him in the Silvermane family.

Now, he tended to my wounds.

It was all a ploy to soften my heart, to make me get rid of Ayla.

Five years ago, whenever Calista wanted to punish Ayla, I’d pleaded for her, begging Calista to spare her, just one look from lucian enough to make me plead.

I couldn’t bear to see him suffer. I had been so low because of my love.

“Aurora and Willow are both dearly loved daughters…” Lucian’s words made my face harden.

It was true.

“I’ll say it again: you’d better forget about getting Ayla out.” I threw back the covers, ignoring my weakness, sitting up.

“Seren!” Lucian frowned, reaching for my uninjured hand, trying to pull me back down.

I slapped his hand away.”Don’t touch me.”

I left the room, my face cold.

As I neared the door, Lucian’s phone rang. He answered.”Willow, what’s wrong?”

“Dad, where’s Mom? I want Mom! Where is she?” Willow’s cry was filled with fear.

She was deeply attached to Ayla. Waking up without Ayla, she’d called Lucian.

“Willow, don’t cry. Mom will be at the infirmary soon.”

Lucian’s voice was soft, soothing.

He hung up. I stopped him as he turned to leave. “Lucian, it’s not time for you to leave yet.”

“Enough! Stop making a scene here!” Lucian yanked his hand away, striding towards the door. He couldn’t bear to see Ayla suffer anymore.

He’d locked me away; I couldn’t lock her away in return, not after all she’d endured.,

Calista stopped him downstairs.

“Lucian, where are you going?” She hadn’t heard Willow’s call, but she knew he couldn’t bear Ayla’s suffering.

“Grandma, Ayla’s been punished long enough. It won’t happen again. She must have realized her mistake.” His tone was final, not revealing my suffering.

Calista’s face darkened. She’d thought he had feelings for me, but now…

‘My wolf howled, her heart breaking. He saw my pain, but his love was still for Ayla.

I’d always loved him deeply. Love doesn’t die so easily. If he could just coax me, he might have a chance.

But now….

“Lucian, I’ll ask one last time. What do you feel for Seren? If you care, end everything with Ayla. You will no longer have any relationship with her. If not, I’ll help Seren chose her mate, starting tomorrow!”

At the mention of the choice of my mate, Lucian paused, glancing meaningfully at me on the stairs.

“Grandma, don’t bother. She wouldn’t leave me.” He believed my love was unshakeable.

‘My wolf whimpered he didn’t understand. This wasn’t about him.”

Calista saw my reaction, muttered to herself.

She’d mentioned this specifically to test Lucian’s feelings for me, but now, see his reaction, she made her own decision.

Since he couldn’t see my worth, she’d find someone to cherish me.

She approached me.”Seren, I will find you a wonderful match. A match even the Moon Goddess would praise.”
