A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret



BOOK 2: CHAPTER 66

Rowan's POV

Something was wrong!

Something was wrong with me and I could feel it. I could feel it within my bones that something wasn't right.

The moment Reina marked me, something was fighting for dominance within me and Thorne had unbelievably gone silent on me. That was unusual especially with Reina right beside me.

She was sleeping so soundly and I'd been awake for a little while staring at the ceiling as I counted and waited.

Maybe it was all in my head. Maybe nothing in particular was wrong.

"Shit" A bone snapped within me. I scrambled up from the bed without thinking twice and carefully too, so I wouldn't wake Reina up. She was sleeping so peacefully and I would hate myself if I woke her up.

I grabbed my shirt and pants from the floor and hurriedly put them on.

I stared at my hand as I could feel my claws protruding and fur appearing on my skin out of nowhere. Quickly, I left the room and ran into the forest. Alpha," Gideon stopped me. "Can I talk to you about something"

I shook my head. "No, not right now" I quickly dismissed him. I frowned as my voice was suddenly unrecognizable. It was deeper than usual and sounded surreal.

"Are you alright?" Gideon asked.

I didn't wait to give him an answer when I turned on my heels and walked away from there.

My speed was faster than normal and it was weird. A lot of weird things were happening at once and I couldn't figure out was what going on.

Until another bone in my back snapped and the shirt I was wearing tore into two did I realize what was happening to me.

I was shifting. I was fucking shifting without even trying to shift.

Also, that wasn't my usual way of shifting but with a lot of things happening right now, I realized that might not be surprising.

The question at the back of my mind was, what was I shifting into? A wolf? Or a lycan?

What exactly did Reina's mark awaken within me? What has her mark done to me?

A loud growl erupted through me as I went through the final shift of the transformation. I crumbled into the ground as my breathing became so audible..

I stared at my body to see I was fully covered in furs. I tried standing on my feet and I found out it was possible.

Fuck! Shit! I'd shifted into a Lycan. I was standing on all fours at an unimaginable height. My vision was so sharp that I believed I could see through people now.

The river glistened as the moon cast its shadow on it. It was a half-moon night. I took one long look into the river and I caught an image of myself.

Someone called from behind and I quickly turned to see it was Reina. How was she here? I thought she was sleeping before I left.

I frowned. The last thing I wanted was for her to see me like this

"Did you follow me?" I asked her.

"Wow! That voice," she answered with a smile. I knew I sounded lifferent. The way she looked at me made me feel special all of a sudden. "No! I didn't follow you. Dreamwalking." She finally answered.

I nodded.

"You're huge. Even bigger than usual,”

She said as she walked towards me.

"Don't wander this far the next time you're Dreamwalking," I warned her. It was too dangerous, I thought.

"Only you can see me, no one else can," She assured me. That calmed my nerves a bit.

She touched my face and peace descended on me like I'd never knew it before. I suddenly became aware of the serenity surrounding me. "Your scent brought me here,"

"You should go back now," I asked.

"No, I'll wait here with you for as long as you want to stay," she said.

"You should really go. I don't know how long I'll stay here,”

"Can you shift back?" She asked, her eyes shining with so much light.

"It happened sporadically the last two times I shifted into this. This time, it took its time and I don't know how long it would take to shift back," "You don't like this state," she suddenly said.

For several reasons, she was right. The fact that I didn't have control over it was the number one reason why I hated being a Lycan but now that I found out my biological mother was the Lycan added to my reasons for hating it but I wasn't about to tell Reina that.

"I have no control over it,"

"The last time you shifted into your Lycan, you were having an internal war within yourself. What triggered it this time?"

"I don't know," I lied.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Was it the mating or the mark?"

She asked.

I shrugged. "Maybe,"

"If I leave you here, will you be safe?" She asked. How could she be worried about me?

I laughed. "I don't think anyone in their right mind would attack a Lycan. Stop worrying about me, I'm fine,"

She stood on her toes and planted a kiss on the place where my cheek was supposed to be.

She giggled at how the furs tickled her.

"Go back into the pack,"

She frowned. I watched as she walked away from me and stopped at a reasonable distance.

"I'm staying here,"

I turned and took a run around the forest. When I came back, it was at the crack of dawn. Reina was still there, drawing lines on the ground with a tree branch in her hand.

I didn't come back the same way I left. I'd shifted back into human in a slow, agonizing way.

But I wasn't back as Rowan, I was back as Thorne.

"What do you think about this?" Reina said pointing to whatever she drew on the floor.

"Missed me, sweetheart?"

Her eyes went wide as she took in my eyes.

"Thørne?" She called out unsure.

"One and only never-ending nightmare of yours,"
