The Alpha's Regret a tale of Reunion.

Chapter 2.

Four years later.

“Hael.” Ivy said as he walked into Hael’s office, the alpha was sitting on his seat looking through his files, Hael looked pale and miserable, he looked up and saw Ivy. “What is it?”

Ivy sighed as he came to Hael and said, “You forgot what day it is right?”

Hael looked at her, unable to remember what was it that he had forgotten, so Ivy said, “Today you had to attend a party at the council Hael, how can you forget something so important, Hael?”

Hael rolled his eyes and said, “How can going to a party be so important?” he said as he drowned himself with work, Ivy looked at him with pity as she sat down before him. Ivy has been friends with Hael and Ruelle since they were kids.

After Ruelle had left, Hael had never been the same, he had changed, he no longer smiled or talked much with anyone, he stopped socializing and just drowned himself with work. However, Ivy and her husband the beta already knew that Hael was secretly looking for Ruelle. And since he was unable to find her, he was becoming more and more devastated. While Ivy and the rest think that she is already dead, Hael is unable to accept that fact.

Hael had never tried to move on, he still kept the ring that she had given him, and he still had her clothes. Ivy knew that he still loved her, however, the others thought that it was time for him to move on and get a Luna.

Hael’s parents have been pressuring him to get married to Martha the daughter of the alpha of another pack but he keeps refusing.

“Hael… today’s event is important it’s the founding day of the council and you know that everyone attends it, and since you are the alpha of the most powerful pack and an important member of the council you should attend the event as well. And take Martha as your partner.”

Hael sighed as he leaned back on the chair and said, “I don’t want to go, Ivy, you and Thomas can go in my place.”

“No, Hael you should go, how long are you going to be like this? You should go out more. Please. Everyone misses you; you know. Your mom and dad, Thomas, David, Agatha everyone wants to hang out with you again.”

“I will think about it,” Hael said.

“Hael, it’s been a while since we all have hung out together let’s go out to this event what do you think? We can have fun; you can also ease up a little.”

“Fine!” Hael said, “Now get out and stop bothering me.” Ivy smiled as she got up, “I am going to arrange the clothes for you and I am going to inform Martha that you said yes.”

Ivy left the room and once she came out, she was with by Martha and said to her, “he has agreed”

Martha smiled, “finally. Good job.”

Ivy nodded, “You better make sure that you dress up nicely today, make him mesmerized by your beauty, I have already done my job, now it’s your turn.”

Martha nodded, “I will.” For the past four years, she has tried to win over Hael and become the Luna but this entire time she has failed! No matter what she did, no matter how many times she tried Hael never moved or gave her a glance.

But today she was determined to make a move after all, she rarely gets a chance like this to go out with him.

In the evening Hael got ready and once he was ready, he looked at himself in the mirror and he suddenly missed Ruelle, he remembered how she used to fix his tie for him every time they got ready for such an event, he sighed as he threw his tie before he left his room.

“Mummy!” A little girl came running towards Ruelle, who picked her up and hugged her tightly, “Dear, let’s put you to sleep.” Ruelle said as she took her daughter, Vera to her room and gently tucked her in the bed.

She sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted her daughter’s head as she sang a lullaby, she stayed by Vera’s side till the little kid went to sleep.

Once Vera was asleep, she gently kissed her forehead and went out of the room. She gently closed the door and walked towards her room, where she saw a beautiful dress on the bed and put it on. She then walked in front of the mirror put on her makeup and styled her hair.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her beautiful black eyes, and her slim figure which looked very sexy in the black bodycon dress, her perfectly styled black hair shined beautifully, and her pale face looked flawless and smooth. All in all, she looked ethereal.

Suddenly she heard a knock on the door and walked towards the door and opened it, there stood a very handsome man, who looked at her, the man was tall and extremely handsome, he had a sharp face and beautiful brown eyes, with brown hair. He looked at Ruelle up and down and said, “Shall we go, wife?”

Ruelle smiled and said, “Yes.” She then grabbed his arm and the two walked away together.

At the council event, everyone was talking about Hael as soon as they saw him. It was rare for Hael to come to such events and when he did everyone always paid attention to him and talked about him.

While Hael paid no attention to such people, Martha enjoyed the attention that she got because of being with Hael, she knew that she was being watched by men with their hungry gaze and some women looked at her with envy and she loved that.

With Hael came Thomas his beta and Ivy his wife, David, the third in command, and his wife Agatha.

“The decorations are done so nicely.” Ivy said as she looked around, “All of this is so beautiful.”

Agatha smiled as well she looked around, “Indeed it’s all so pretty.”

David and Thomas were also impressed by the arrangements made by the council for the big day.

However, Hael couldn’t care less and he already wanted to leave this place.

Suddenly there was an announcement, “Attention everyone, the council lord Adam Garcia and his wife Violetta Garcia have arrived.”

Everyone made space for the council lord, the council lord is the head of the council, and the council is run by the guardians the protectors of nature, the powerful beings who check if the law and order of nature are in check, and the council lord is basically the royalty who is the most powerful guardian.

Everyone looked at the door which opened and two people walked in, Hael’s eyes widened and his senses became alert when he smelled that familiar scent.

Martha’s eyes widened as well and all the others looked with horror towards the person who walked with Adam.

Hael also looked towards the door and he felt weak when he saw none other than Ruelle alongside Adam.

“Ruelle.” He mumbled as he looked at her.
