Alpha's Regret: He craved my love when I let him go — Novel

About

Dahlia’s 22nd birthday is meant to be a celebration, but as she stares at her phone, the silence is deafening. Her boyfriend, Sebastian, the Alpha of The Black Crescent Pack, is nowhere to be found. Instead of laughter and cake, she’s left with cold food and the bitter sting of betrayal. As the clock ticks, the weight of his absence grows heavier, especially when the whispers of his past lover, Ravena, creep back into her mind. How can she compete with the memories of a woman who once held his heart?

Just when Dahlia thinks she’s ready to confront her feelings, a notification shatters her fragile resolve. It’s a photo of Sebastian and Ravena, blissfully enjoying a day in the snow—while she sits alone on her birthday, nursing her heartbreak. In that moment, a fire ignites within her. She refuses to be a second choice, a mere placeholder while Sebastian’s former love reclaims her place beside him.

But when the Alpha shows up, desperate to make amends, Dahlia is caught between her love for him and her self-respect. Can she find the strength to walk away from a love that feels more like a shadow than a partnership? Or will she risk it all for a chance to rewrite their story?

Alpha's Regret: He craved my love when I let him goChapter 1

(Dahlia POV)

I stared at my blank phone screen. Tears welled up in my eyes. It was my 22nd birthday and I had cleared out my day to spend time with my boyfriend, Sebastian. But he didn’t show up.

I have been planning this day for the last three months because Sebastian was a busy man, considering the nature of his job. He was the Alpha of The Black Crescent Pack. He stepped up two years ago when his father Alpha Leonardo De Angelo got killed in a rogue attack. I can understand that it wasn’t easy to handle everything at such a young age but he can’t ignore me in all his work.

I dialled his number again and again but it went straight to voice mail.
