Chapter In Regret Novel 106
Chapter 90
Lorik's POV
I stared at him, disbelief etched on my face.
I'm incredulous. So that's why, the other day, Shirley seemed so excited-not because of being with
Maurice, but because she heard the news of her mother from him.
A flicker of realization crossed Maurice's face. He saw the doubt in my eyes, the uncertainty that began to creep in. "Don't you see? You misunderstood Shirley."
I took a step back, my mind racing. "I saw you touching Shirley's face. Even if she didn't fall in love
with you, I know you love her."
Maurice didn't deny it. Instead, he offered a provocative smile. "Thank you. I feel like my chance is coming soon."
I ignored him, my heart pounding with a mix of anger and confusion. Desperate for answers, I pulled out my phone and called Shirley. But my call went straight to voicemail. Frustration surged through me as I tried again, but there was no response. Our mind link wasn't responding either.
Realizing I needed to know the truth, I called BETA. The call connected quickly, and Panther's voice
came through, steady and serious. "Alpha, Luna packed up all her belongings last night and moved out of the pack."
The words hit me like a ton of bricks. Luna-Shirley-had left. My mind raced, trying to piece together what had happened. Had I pushed her away with my actions? Was Maurice right? Had I
failed her when she needed me the most?
I stood there, the weight of the revelation pressing down on me. The fight with Maurice seemed distant now, overshadowed by the reality that Shirley was gone. My thoughts spiraled, replaying every moment, every interaction. Had I misunderstood her signals? Had I been too consumed by my
own frustrations to see what she truly needed?
Maurice watched me silently, his expression unreadable. I could sense he wanted to say more, but the pain and confusion left me speechless. "What do I do now?" I whispered to myself, feeling utterly lost.
BETA's voice broke through my thoughts. "Alpha, you need to find her. Time is of the essence."
Lodded, even though Panther couldn't see me. "I'm on my way."

I made my way back to my car, my mind was in a mess, I needed to find Shirley, to understand why she left and how I could make things right. The realization that I might lose her forever powe ine.
I passed Panther, who was managing the crowd with practiced ease. I stopped and ask, "Panthers, have you seen Shirley?"
Panther shook his head, concern evident in his eyes. "No, Alpha, She left early last niya. There's no record of her being here tonight."
Frustration welled up inside me. "We need to find her. Now"
Panther nodded, moving swiftly to coordinate the search.
When I finally sat in the driver's seat, I felt a pang of guilt-had my actions driven her away? Had I been blind to her needs while entangled in my own struggles? Shirley's POV
The grand ballroom gleamed with elegance, its towering crystal chandeliers casting a warm, golden light over the crowd. The air buzzed with quiet conversations, accompanied by the gentle clink of champagne glasses. A string quartet played softly in the background, their music adding a touch of grace to the celebration. This was no ordinary gathering; it was a momentous event marking the peace treaty between humans and werewolves. The room was filled with important figures from both worlds, their faces reflecting the significance of the occasion.
I stood near the entrance, observing the scene before me. My gown, a deep shade of emerald that contrasted with my black hair, flowed gracefully around me, catching the light with every movement. The dress was simple yet sophisticated, perfectly suited for the evening.
The fabric hugged my figure in all the right places, with a modest neckline that still hinted at elegance. I had chosen it carefully, knowing that tonight I would be the center of attention. And wa

right-since the moment I arrived, cameras had followed my every move, their lenses capturing each step I took, every glance I made.
For the past few days, I had cut off all contact with Lorik. I knew he was frantically searching for me, his desperation growing with each passing day, but I refused to let him find me. I needed space, time to think, to process everything that had happened between us. But tonight, there was no ávoiding the spotlight.
As a human-wolf hybrid and a pianist who had recently gained worldwide recognition, I was an honored guest, and my presence here was as much a statement as the treaty itself.
