Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 1 38

Ethan gently placed Liam at a safe distance before turning back towards the burning building, his heart pounding

with worry. “Derrick! Derrick!” he yelled desperately, hoping for any sign of his friend.

“I don’t think you should,” a calm voice interrupted Ethan’s frantic calls. He turned to see a man standing

nearby, his expression grave.

“Derrick’s still in there,” Ethan explained, his voice strained with emotion.

“I know. He's gone. He's dead now,” the man informed him with a somber tone.

“How did that happen?!” Ethan demanded, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief as flames engulfed the

structure.

“That explosion was meant for both of you,” the man explained matter-of-factly.

“What?!” Ethan exclaimed, his mind reeling with the revelation.

“Yes. But you got out just in time,” the man confirmed, his gaze fixed on the burning wreckage.

“He yelled atto leave,” Ethan whispered, his voice trembling with the weight of the realization. His old friend,

whom he had just found alive, was now truly gone.

“It seems he changed his mind, probably when this child ran inside,” the man surmised, his tone heavy with

SOIToW.

“So, | would have been caught in the explosion?” Ethan whispered, still grappling with the enormity of the

situation.

“Yes, both of you,” the man confirmed, his expression filled with regret.

“He did all of that and even kidnapped Liam to end it all that way?” Ethan asked, his anger simmering beneath

the surface.

“Derrick was dying,” the man explained softly, his eyes filled with sympathy. “He didn’t have much tleft, and

he didn’t actually want to hurt the kids. He took Liam because

he wanted scompany during his last days.”

“He’s been alone,” the man added, his voice tinged with sadness.

Ethan took a step back, his thoughts swirling amidst the chaos and destruction. “Who are you?” he asked the

man, his voice tinged with curiosity.

“Alfred. | work for him,” the man replied

“.... Used to.” He corrected himself his gaze distant as memories flooded his mind.

As Ethan stood there, lost in thought, he felt a small tug on his sleeve. Looking down, he met Liam's questioning

gaze.

“You're really my daddy?” Liam asked, his eyes wide with wonder.

FD

“Yes,” Ethan replied, his voice filled with warmth and affection as he lifted Liam into his

arms.

Liam smiled brightly before turning his attention back to the burning building. “Is he gonna be okay?” he asked,

his concern evident in his voice.

“Everything will be fine,” Ethan assured him, holding him close. “Let's go see Daisy.”

“And Mommy and Nathan,” Liam added eagerly, his innocence shining through despite the chaos around them.

Ethan paused, struck by Liam's resilience. “Weren't you scared?” he asked softly.

Liam shook his head.

His face fell and becserious suddenly his smile Fading completely.

“] want to see Daisy right now. She’s very sick. She needs me,” he said earnestly.

“Hurry up,” he urged, his tone filled with anxiousness

“Mummy,” Daisy whispered weakly, her small hand reaching out to Hazel, who tenderly kissed her palm.

“When's Liam gonna cback?” she asked, her voice tinged with longing and impatience. Hazel felt a pang in

her heart, knowing she had to maintain the facade she had crafted to shield Daisy from the truth about her

brother's disappearance.

“Liam will be here soon, okay? | need you to be strong,” Hazel reassured her, her voice trembling with worry and

uncertainty.

“But Liam said he'll be here,” Daisy sobbed softly, her eyes brimming with tears. Hazel’s heart broke for her

daughter, who was facing surgery without the comfort of her beloved brother's presence.

“Honey, I'm really sorry. He'll be here when you wake up. | promise,” Hazel whispered, her own doubts and fears

gnawing at her resolve. She hoped against hope that Liam would return in tto fulfill his promise to Daisy.

“Nathan, | don’t know what to do anymore,” Hazel confessed her voice heavy with despair. “Daisy’s not buying

the lie. She keeps asking for her brother.”

“Ethan will find him.” He tried encouraging, but he still felt doubtful.

“Axel, have you found them?” Hazel inquired anxiously as Axel entered the room, his presence offering a

glimmer of hope amidst their despair.

“No,” Axel replied with a heavy sigh, his expression betraying his own apprehension.

“Listen Nathan, | have a hunch of what happened and it can’t be good. I'm worried Something really bad has

happened.” He said quietly when he took Nathan to a corner forewarning Nathan of what was coming.

“And there’s someone who really want to talk to you.” He added.

“Who is it?” Nathan asked drily

“Nathan.” Jasmine’s small voice reached him.

His eyes widened as he stared at her k disbelief, he couldn't believe his eyes.

She explained, the man had made her write a false suicide note.

“I'm sorry Nathan, Amelia would actually still be alive, she rushed I trying to save me.” She admitted.

Nathan started at her.

Nothing else mattered other than the fact that she was fine. When he thought she remembered everything and

ended herself, he was overwhelmed by guilt, he caused what had happened. It was more like Amelia’s sacrifice

was all in vain, that he had failed to protect the both of them,but now he saw her and she was fine, he was

relieved.

“That's what happened,” he muttered slinking down the walls with a heavy sigh.

Closure. He now knew for sure now what had happened to his wife and child. The way they had been killed.

Feeling suffocated he turned to step out of the hospital.

“Where's Liam, mummy? Did he run away?” Daisy’s voice trembled with worry as she sought answers.

“No, honey, he didn’t,” Hazel reassured her gently, trying to ease her daughter's growing agitation.

“Then did that strange man take him?” Daisy’s questions persisted, her concern evident as she sensed her

brother's absence.

“Daisy, calm down,” Hazel urged, her heart heavy with concern as she tried to soothe her daughter's growing

distress.

“Liam wouldn't letgo to that room where they're so many needles alone, he'll cwith me!” She insisted

stubbornly. She was becoming agitated and about to throw a tantrum. She could tell her brother wasn't there.

“Daisy, calm down.” Hazel tried to urge her. “Mummy Liam.” She sobbed her small chest heaving heavily. The

nurses tried to calm her down immediately. “Shhh, your brother will come.” Hazel placed her head against hers

her eyes filling in her eyes.

“Shhh, your brother will come,” Hazel whispered, her voice filled with tears as she embraced her daughter,

longing to ease her fears.

“Daisy!” A voice called out, breaking through the tension, as Liam rushed toward them with relief flooding

Hazel’s heart.

“Liam!” Hazel exclaimed, enveloping her son in a tight embrace, her eyes scanning him. anxiously for any signs

of harm.

“Are you okay?” she asked, her voice trembling with emotion, her concern etched in every line of her face.

“Liam,” Daisy whispered through her breathing tubes, her eyes seeking his comfort.

Liam moved to her side, gently taking her hand in his, offering her the reassurance she craved.

“You're okay, Daisy. I'm here now,” he smiled, his presence bringing solace to her fragile

heart.

“Daisy, you were right. Mr. Princess really is Daddy,” Liam revealed, his words lighting up Daisy’s eyes with joy

as Hazel affirmed his words.

“Be strong for us, Daisy. When you cout, we'll be waiting for you. Me, Liam, Nathan, and Mr. Princess...

Daddy,” Hazel whispered, her words carrying the weight of their shared hope and love.

“Daisy,” Ethan's voice called softly, drawing their attention as he approached.

Hazel’s eyes were on him while she still held Liam. He stroked the girl's small face. She was happy, although her

heart rate was sp iking in excitement it was safer than when she was throwing a tantrum. She tried to remove

the breather that had been put to calm her down.

“Mr princess.” She whispered. “You're daddy?” She asked him with another smile. Ethan nodded his eyes

becoming misty. Daisy smiled broadly,

Daisy's eyes sparkled with delight as she recognized him, her small voice filled with excitement and joy.

“When | wake up, | wanna go to Lu-Land,” she declared, then begun listing all of the fun places she would be

taken to when she recovers

“Okay, yes.” Ethan replied chuckled, promising to fulfill her wishes, his heart swelling with love for his children.

They had lost so many years now, he would do whatever he took to make up for it.

“You'll be okay,” Ethan assured her, his touch gentle as he stroked her cheek, his words a promise of unwavering

support.

Nathan watched from a distance, feeling a pang of longing as he witnessed their bond, the family he yearned for

but never had. With a heavy sigh, he turned to walk away, feeling like an outsider.

“Nathan!” Daisy's voice called out.

He stopped in his tracks then looked back, Daisy wanted him even though her father was there?

“Aren’t you going to see Daisy off?” Liam asked with a small frown. Nathan chuckled lightly feeling a small light

feeling. Ethan stepped out of the way while the two talked for a little while.

“It's time, we need to get started.” A nurse informed the family. Daisy took a glance at her family.

Hazel smiled warmly at her “You'll be fine baby.” She encouraged her.

“Let’s all go to Lu- Land when | cback!” She yelled then was wheeled away. Hazel stood watching her

wheeled into the theater a small sigh escaping her lips.

“She'll be fine. We've got the best doctors.” Ethan said placing an arm of hers. She nodded.

“I'm sorry, | wasn’t supposed to break it to them like this, | wanted to give your tto trust me.” He apologized.

“It’s okay.” She interrupted

“It was tfor the Truth to be out already.” She said in relief.

“And it seemed they already suspected it.” She sighed.

“Have you always known?” Hazel asked Liam, curiosity tingeing her voice.

Liam shrugged, his expression thoughtful as he considered her question.

“I and Daisy talked about it. | always felt a connection to Mr. Princess, | can’t explain it,”

Liam admitted, his words carrying a sense of wonder.

“That's how | can always find him,” he explained, a hint of awe in his voice.

“Daisy once said, imagine Mr. Princess is Daddy,” Liam shared, a small smile playing on his lips

“You're really not smart, Ethan. Your kids happen to be even faster than you. Thankfully, they got all the good

genes,” Axel remarked with a hint of jest. Ethan managed a faint smile in response.

“Derrick,” Ethan muttered, his mind still grappling with the recent events.

“Already on it,” Axel replied, indicating he was already informed about the situation. “We'll make an

announcement to the entire pack on what really happened. We’d do it right this time,” Axel stated, echoing

Ethan's sentiments.

“After that, I'll quit then go someplace else with Jasmine,” Axel added with a slight smile, outlining his plans to

depart once everything settled with Derrick’s issue.

“Will

you tell Hazel?” Axel inquired, acknowledging Hazel’s right to know the truth about her mate’s demise.

“She deserves to know the truth. She must be wondering why she never got to meet her mate, to feel the bond

or connection. She deserves to know everything,” Ethan replied softly, his gaze fixed on Hazel as she fussed over

Liam.

“He must have been so lonely,” Ethan murmured, his thoughts drifting back to Derrick. And to think his father

had played a huge role in that and had tried to cover it up,

it was just disappointing.

He was grateful Derrick had a change of heart at the last moment. All that remained was Daisy coming out of

there.

“Still, it doesn’t really justify it,” Axel commented.

“What should we do about Bella?” Axel asked

“We'll get Nathan's opinion,” Ethan replied. Nathan too was one of the people who had suffered Bella's action.

“I've been living with a killer.” Ethan mumbled with a sigh.

With a heavy heart, Ethan turned and began to walk away, the lingering sadness still palpable in the air.

“Ethan!” Axel’s voice rang out, filled with concern, as he noticed Ethan slumped on the floor. Ethan had passed

out,
