I Regret Being Alpha’s Secret Mate novel Chapter 225

Chapter 208

I paused, letting the tension ease.

I placed the water glass down and looked at Ragnar.

“Ragnar, this was bucian’s hair…”

I opened my palm, revealing strands of hair, some ripped from his scalp during my struggle. My wolf felt a flicker of satisfaction at the small victory.

“Could you please help me find someone to conduct a paternity test between him and Willow?”

“Okay.”

Just as when I’d asked him to help collect Willow’s blood sample, he didn’t ask questions.

He understood.

I truly no longer loved Lucian. My wolf felt a strange mixture of relief and sadness.

He saw my disinterest in relationships.

He could wait. He had waited for years.

Ragnar took the hair sample.

He looked at me, the weariness in my eyes evident.

“Rest early,” he said gently, his wolf offering quiet support.

I saw Ragnar off and closed the door.

I didn’t go to my room, but to Aurora’s.

My wolf was yearning for my daughter’s presence, a comforting warmth in this turmoil.

Ragnar went downstairs. Lucian’s car was still parked below my apartment.

He leaned against it, a cigarette between his fingers, several butts on the ground.

His wolf was clearly consumed by despair and anger.

Ragnar passed him. Lucian looked lost in thought.

“Ragnar, whether it was before, now, or in the future, Seren will always be my woman.”

“Lucian, Seren was not yours.” Ragnar’s voice was equally cold.

“She was mine!” Lucian insisted, his tone dominant, refusing to let go.

Aurora was between them, a constant reminder of their broken bond.

“Mr. Silvermane, no one waits forever. You’ve lost her.”

Ragnar didn’t linger, heading to his car.

He sat, watching Lucian, who stared at my building.

Lucian’s phone rang repeatedly – Ayla calling. He ignored it.

Ragnar had said he’d lost. How could that be possible? His wolf was struggling to accept defeat.

Two men, one inside the car and one outside, remained below my building until dawn, then departed one after the other.
