After I Let Go My Alpha He Knelt in Regret

Chapter 1

When I regained consciousness, the pain between my legs was excruciating. The harsh scent of wolfsbane and silver-infused antiseptic assaulted my heightened senses.

With trembling hands, I reached beneath the hospital blanket. My belly was flat. Empty. My pup- our pup - was gone. My wolf howled in anguish within me, but I couldn't even find the strength to echo her cry. Only tears flowed uncontrollably down my cheeks.

As a pup, I nearly drowned in the moonlit river during a pack hunt. The hypothermia damaged my wolf's connection to the moon - my body temperature never fully recovered, my transformations became erratic and painful during the full moons, and pack healers warned that this unstable shifting might prevent me from ever carrying a pup to term. The moonlight that should strengthen our kind now seemed to weaken my wolf instead.

But Thorne adored pups. After our mating ceremony, I began the ancient fertility rituals. For years, I never missed a session with the pack healer, choking down bitter herbs and undergoing painful treatments that made even my wolf whimper.

No matter how busy he was with pack duties, Thorne always accompanied me to the healer's den. "My mate shouldn't face this alone," he'd growl protectively. When the silver-tipped needles pierced my skin during the treatments, he'd bare his fangs at the healer, demanding they be gentler.

On nights when the herbs made me too sick to eat, he'd wrap his warm body around mine, his tears hot against my neck as our wolves grieved together. "We'll stop," he'd whisper, his voice rough with emotion. "No more treatments. I just need you."

But I persevered, dreaming of the day we'd welcome our own little pup into the pack. The night I confirmed my pregnancy, Thorne - who never touched wolfsbane wine - drank deeply in celebration. He held me close, his usual stoic Alpha demeanor replaced by joyful, almost puppy-like laughter.

I thought our pack's future had never looked brighter. Our small family would finally be complete.

Then I'll leave the pack!" I snarled. "I'll raise our pup alone!"

But I never got the chance. He used his Alpha command - something he'd sworn never to do to me and everything went dark. When I woke, our pup was gone.
