The Alpha's Regret a tale of Reunion.

Chapter 4.

“Hael,” Martha called out to Hael but he just walked past her without even looking at her, leaving her all alone.

Martha clenched her fists as she felt agitated and annoyed, she felt frustrated that her eyes were filled with tears, how could Hael do this to her?

She then looked back and saw Ruelle who was beside Adam, and she looked so happy with Adam, while here was Martha miserable as before.

Just what was it about Ruelle that everyone always liked her? First Hael and then Adam, powerful and wealthy men, why did they choose Ruelle and not her? She was just as pretty as Ruelle.

“Let’s go, Martha,” Ivy said as she grabbed Martha’s arm and they all followed Hael out.

Once Hael reached the pack, he locked himself in the room, today was one of the happiest days of his life and also one of the most dreadful ones, he found Ruelle back but he also found out that she was with someone else.

Hael shook his head, he couldn’t believe that, he refused to believe that she could marry someone else, that she could move on so easily.

Ruelle had loved him dearly and if she had truly loved him then there was no way she could love someone else.

Hael felt possessive and obsessed and it took every cell in his body to stop himself from going to Ruelle and bring her back with him. He had to be patient, four years ago he had hurt her deeply and didn’t explain the situation to her. He had to send her away to protect her, but things didn’t go the way they should have been however not this time.

Suddenly there was a knock on his door and his beta Thomas came in, “You called for me Hael.”

Hael nodded, “I want you to find out everything about Adam Garcia and how he met Ruelle.”

Thomas replied, “Adam Garcia is the lord of the council, it’s not going to be easy to find out about him.”

“I never said that it was going to be easy Thomas but I need to Ruelle back and in order to do that I have to know everything about them.”

“Hael are you really-”

“Yes, I am going to get her back.”

“But what about the council.”

“For Ruelle, I can fight the entire world, this mere council is nothing. The council is strong but we are just as strong, don’t forget that, our pack is the strongest pack in the world. Thomas, I have wronged her four years ago, it's time I make it up to her.”

“Your parents and Martha’s parents are not going to be happy, are you forgetting that it was because of them that you had to send her away.”

Hael’s face hardened and he said, “I told you Thomas that I will fight the world for her, my parents and Martha’s parents are nothing. They can f**k themselves. And if they dared to cause trouble for me then it’s not going to end well for them. No one can come between me and Ruelle anymore. Get to your work.”

“Yes, alpha,” Thomas said as he got to work, while Hael smiled as he thought about Ruelle.

Meanwhile, Ruelle smiled as she looked at Vera who was peacefully sleeping on her bed, Ruelle gently patted her head as she was lost in thought.

“Are you not going to sleep?” Adam asked, which grabbed Ruelle’s attention and she looked in his direction, “I will, I just want to stay here for a while.”

Adam nodded before he came near his daughter and smiled as he observed her face, he then kept his hand over her shoulder and said, “You did good today Ruelle.”

Ruelle smiled, “Thank you, Adam.”

“It must have been hard for you.”

“I am fine.” Ruelle said before she got up and faced Adam, “Let’s focus on our mission.”

“Yes.” Adam said, “Ruelle. I am sorry for dragging you into this mess.”

Ruelle shook her head and said, “It’s okay, Adam we are in a business relationship, you provide me and my child safety and I will pretend to be your wife.”

“It will not be easy to fool everyone.”

“I have been practicing for a long time, I can do it. I will be Violetta Garcia.”

Adam nodded, “And I will be your protector, I swear as long as you are on my side, I am going to protect you from everyone even from Hael Kendrick.”

“Thank you,” Ruelle said as she walked towards the room and Adam walked into his separate room.

The morning came soon, “Good morning mummy.” Vera said as she ran to Ruelle who picked her up and hugged her, “Good morning sweetheart.”

Adam came there as well and Vera greeted him as well, Ruelle served her breakfast and they all ate before Adam and Ruelle together went to drop Vera off at school, and from there they went to the council.

“I will be at my office.” Adam said and Ruelle nodded, “I am off to the library.”

“Alright.”

With that, they parted ways. Ruelle walked towards the library, she stayed for some time and after that, she went to her office and got to work, her office was simple and clean but was filled with files and books about various tribes and unknown species.

After she decided to take a break and grab some coffee however before she could reach the canteen, she suddenly felt someone grab her from behind, and pin her against the wall, she was about to scream but the person covered her mouth.

Her eyes widened but she calmed down when she saw Hael.

“Hush baby.” He said with a smirk in his deep husky voice that gave her shivers to this day, having so close to her still made her heart beat so fast that she was afraid that it might come out of her chest.

Hael removed her hand from her mouth and she said, “How dare you touch me! Have you lost your mind? This is the council and I am the council lord’s wife!”

“I know, I know who you are.” Hael said, “Ruelle Heinrich.”

“Violetta Garcia is my name now.” She said coldly.

Hael didn’t like to hear that, “You are Ruelle!”

Ruelle smirked and said, “What do you want?”

Hael spoke, “You know that day I was unable to ask you a question. I completely forgot about it.”

“What is it?” She asked.

“After you left, I found a pregnancy test.”

Ruelle became stiff when she heard that and Hael asked, “Were you pregnant when you had left the pack?”

“You mean when I was banished from the pack.”

“Yes.” Hael said, “Were you pregnant?”

“Why does it matter?”

“Because that child is mine.”

“How are you so sure! Didn’t you say that I cheated on you, then how come the child is yours!”

“I know you never cheated on me Ruelle, I know you didn’t kill Angelina, I know that you were innocent.”

“Then why!” Ruelle yelled as she looked at Hael, “Then why did you banish me? Why did you reject me! Why were you so cruel to me!”

“I am sorry baby; I am really sorry there was a reason I had to do that.”

“I don’t care what your reason was! You have deeply hurt me! And I will never forgive you for that.”

Ruelle felt anger towards Hael, how can he ask about the child when he had tried to kill her! How dare Hael come back to her life and act as if he owned her! This attitude of his made her hate him and what she hated more was the fact that her body still reacted towards him! She hated the fact that she still had feelings for him.

She will never forgive him, she will never trust him, instead, she will take revenge.

“Ruelle, answer me.” Hael asked gently he was desperate to know about his child.

Ruelle pushed him away, and once Hael was away, she felt she could finally breathe, she looked at him and was about to say something but before she could say anything they both heard a voice, “Mummy!”

Both Ruelle and Hael looked towards Vera who smiled and came running towards Ruelle, Ruelle smiled at her and picked her up, “You are back dear.”

“Yes, Mummy, I missed you.”

“I missed you too, let’s get you something to eat, okay?” she then looked at Hael and then at Rose the nanny, who said, “She was feeling sick and was crying about seeing you.”

Ruelle looked at Vera worriedly, “You were sick?”

“I am fine now mummy.”

“Still let’s get you checked,” she said and then glanced at Hael who looked too stunned to speak, he was looking at Vera as Ruelle took her away. And Hael watched them till they were out of his sight.

Vera looked so much like Ruelle.
