Alpha’s Regret Dear Luna Please come back by Angelina Bhardawaj

Chapter 17



Chapter 17 

As soon as Alexis reached her room, the first thing she did was push Augustus away from herself. 

“What are you doing, honey?” Augustus slurred, but Alexis had had enough of his drunk drama and she looked at him with an angst face, barely controlling the raging emotions in her heart. 

“I can ask you the same question, Alpha. What the hell do you think you are doing calling me honey in front of everyone and acting clingy? Am I your honey? Last time I checked, I wasn’t even worthy of being called a human in your eyes,” Alexis said. 

The innocent drunk look on Augustus’s face faltered a bit. Though he drank a lot, his tolerance was much better as an alpha and he was already under control. Thus, being this drunk and unable to handle his emotions and himself was just a pretense to get closer to Alexis. 

Without dropping his act, he walked forward and held Alexis’s hand. 

“I am sorry, honey. I am sorry for all the times I hurt you. Please forgive me. I did everything under the influence of a misunderstanding. And now that misunderstanding is clear, I don’t dislike you anymore and-” Augustus couldn’t even complete his sentence when Alexis closed the door. 

Her shoulders were shaking as she stood with her back to him. It was almost as if she was suppressing her smiles. He didn’t know what it was about and paused

He was about to ask if she was okay when she finally chuckled. 

“I can’t believe you are so self–centered even after all this time. You did everything because of a mere 

misunderstanding and now that it’s gone, will we live happily ever after? What a joke!” Alexis turned around, letting the man see the hatred and anger in her eyes. 

Augustus’s expression finally dropped. 

“Honey-” he stepped forward, but seeing the way Alexis flinched, he stopped. 

Alexis didn’t say anything for some time and Augustus watched her walking to the couch and taking a seat, her silent treatment, rendering him unable to understand what was going through her head. 

“It’s so easy for you, Alpha, isn’t it? What did you really think? That you will come to me and tell me some shit story. about redemption and your regret, and I will accept your apology and get with you?” Alexis raised her gaze, her expression turning back to neutral. 

Augustus realized what she was trying to say and he walked to her before sitting on his knees in front of her. 

“I know it’s not going to change how I treated you, Alexis, but give me another chance. I will show you that I have indeed changed, Augustus whispered. 

He wanted to hold her hands and place them on his chest to tell her that his heart was beating for her, but chose against it. 

Seeing her sitting there idle, Augustus felt nervousness creeping into his heart. 

“Say something. Alexis. Please know that I am serious this time. You might not believe me, but I have been looking for you non–stop for four years. I never once took off my wedding band from my fingers because I had hopes that I would find you. I had hopes in our marriage. It was after you left that I realized the importance and presence you had in my life and heart. However, it was too late. 

You have no idea how happy I was when I saw you in the hospital,” Augustus said. 

Chapter 17 

Alexis couldn’t help but snicker at his choice of words. 

Yes. She was very well aware of those search quests. She once heard from her brother that Alpha Augustus had launched a search party who was looking for a woman named Alexis Coral and the prize money of $20000 was supposed to be given to the person who would give correct information about her. 

Was that supposed to make her heart race? Of course, it didn’t. 

She knew the only reason the alpha was losing his mind and trying to look for her was because he wasn’t able to digest the fact that she left him without taking any money, that she didn’t stand on the stereotype he had built against her. 

“Mr. Augustus, I am yet to understand the part where everything you said is supposed to affect me in any way. Are you expecting this information to touch my heart?” Alexis asked before she stood from her place and walked to the balcony with a serene expression on her face this time. 

She breathed into the fresh air before sighing. 

“Do you remember the time when we went on a date for the first time?” Alexis asked. 

Augustus stood from his place. 

“We had gotten to this restaurant to cat. You told me about everything you liked and –” Augustus started telling her when Alexis turned around and leaned on the railing before smiling. 

“You had left me stranded in a dark alley in the middle of nowhere because you got a call from a special someone and taking her to the hospital was important. Do you know I was attacked that night? Perhaps your subordinate Carlos. didn’t tell you anything. He was the one who helped me. I was stabbed,” Alexis said. 

Augustus stood frozen in his place. 

He could remember the night vaguely. 

He had dinner with her and was in a sour mood because of what he heard her talking to her friend on the call during the party. 

Even after that, he had no intention of leaving her in the dark alley. 

He got a sudden call from Marianna’s caretaker that the girl had fainted and he was worried about his friend. He thought he would have to take a detour if he dropped her first, that’s why he had dropped her near that alley and asked his man to pick her up while he left to attend to Marianna. 

But he had no idea that she was stabbed and that was the reason she didn’t show up to the orphanage event his company held. 

At that time, when she didn’t show up the next day, he thought that she deliberately didn’t arrive because she didn’t care about the orphanage as it was a charity event. 

That was the beginning of his ultimate hatred towards her. 

“I… I didn’t know –” 

“Well, let’s not talk about that. Do you remember the time when I came to the company to give you lunch after our wedding? It was our first day as a married couple and I was pretty excited to meet your people. I was stopped at the gates. Even after being your wife, I was asked to wait and I waited in a scorching hot summer for 3 hours before finally showed up. Do you remember what you said?” Alexis asked, looking at the man up and down. 

Augustus gulped

you 

Chapter 17 

He didn’t remember the exact words. However, judging from the way she was looking at him, he knew it was nothing pleasant. 

“Can we not forget the past and move forward?” Augustus asked and Alexis chuckled. 

“You said, you didn’t remember asking the housemaid to deliver the lunch, Alexis said and Augustus closed his eyes. 

“Forget about the past? It’s my past too, Alpha Augustus. Do you think it’s something I will easily forget? The trauma that you gave me? 1 had trust in this mate bond. My mom always taught me that a mate bond was the purest bond in this world and protect it with your life, and I did. But that night when I was almost dying, fighting death, fighting the goons, where was my mate? He was holding the feet of another woman and tending to her scratches when I was bleeding to death. Alexis chuckled in self–mockery. 

“You know, Alpha. I would’ve let the world burn for you. Because that was exactly how much I loved you, but with great love comes great hatred too. Forgive you!” Alexis scoffed before turning around and looking at the buzzing city. 

How easy it was for him to say those words. Let’s forget the past. Let’s move forward. If it had been Alexis of previous times, she would’ve jumped in joy and hugged him, thanking him for this opportunity, but she wasn’t the same as before. 

“You were not the one who suffered this torturous relationship. You weren’t the humiliated one, who felt her love die every day, who was left stranded on dark alleys, rainy highways, or just anywhere possible. Give you another chance. Can you bring back all that time?” Alexis said. 

Augustus felt humiliated, but it wasn’t because of all the words she said. It was because of what he did in the past. He was angry at his own actions

Herw 

words were like a slap to slam him into reality and show him what kind of monster he had become in his hatred. And it was probably her turn now. 

“There is no use talking about the past anymore. You are right, Alpha Augustus. I should move on from my past a try to live a better life. Indeed, the wounds you gave me will forever stay in my heart, but I have to make do with them, no? You are my past and I should forget it.” Alexis raised her gaze and met Augustus’s eyes. 

and 

“Forget you,” Alexis whispered before she tried to walk past him

However, before she could move another step, Augustus held her hand and shook his head. 

Her words made his heart sink into nothingness as it almost felt like someone had stabbed him where it hurt the 

most

“Please don’t say that. I… I really love you, Alexis, Augustus said the words that he had been battling with and yearning to tell her at the same time. 

Alexis’s heart thumped momentarily at the mention of the words that she wanted to hear all her married life before she smiled. 

“It’s too late now,” she said before jerking her hand away. 

She moved forward and was out to unlock the door to leave the room and him when Augustus went on his knees and held her legs

Alexis froze in her place. 

She looked at the most dangerous alpha on his knees in front of her, holding her legs and a hint of mockery appeared 

in her eyes

Chap 

Tryou think begging me is going to change anything, you are wrong, she said resolutely 

“I am begging you to stay for the night. Regishing that shame, I will car it myself will show you that I leave indeed changed. You can eat me however you please at that time Please, just stay for the night, Augustus begged, placing. his face on her abdomen and the girl closed her eyes 

Her heart was aching tembly as she was t 

orn between what she should do to save herself and what her heart wanted her to do because this was the same man she once loves!
