After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret novel Chapter 204

Arnold sat in silence, the news of Nora’s return burning in his mind.

He had spent three years buried in duty, in obligations, convincing himself that he had moved on.

But the moment he heard her name again, he realized how badly he had deceived himself.

She was coming back... not as the woman who had once loved him, not as the Luna he had never fully accepted, but as something far greater.

She had done it. She had left, just as she had promised, and she had built something extraordinary. She had conquered a world beyond Silvermoon Pack, beyond anything he had imagined.

And she had done it without him.

Arnold clenched his jaw.

The woman returning was not the same one he had let go.

And he wasn’t sure if he would ever get the chance to make things right.

…..

In these years, Alex had grown up than before and the night before Nora’s return, Alex sat on the edge of his bed, gripping his blanket tightly. His hands trembled slightly as he looked up at his father with wide, uncertain eyes.

"She’s really coming back?" he asked, his voice a mix of excitement and fear.

Arnold stood by the window, his gaze distant as he absorbed the question. After a long pause, he turned to his son and nodded. "She is."

Alex hesitated. "What if… what if she doesn’t want to see me?"

The words hit Arnold harder than he expected. He walked over, lowering himself onto the bed beside his son. Gently, he ruffled Alex’s hair, something he didn’t do often enough.

"That won’t happen," he said quietly. "You’re her son, Alex. She loves you."

"But I…" Alex swallowed hard. "I never told her I missed her. I was mad at first, and then… I didn’t know what to say. What if it’s too late?"

Arnold exhaled slowly, staring down at his own hands. He knew that feeling all too well.

"It’s never too late to tell someone you love them," he said. "We’ll go together tomorrow."

Alex nodded, though the worry in his eyes didn’t fully disappear.

...

The League’s annual council meeting was held in the grand assembly hall of Silvermoon Pack, a place reserved for the most powerful Alphas and business leaders in the werewolf world.

When Nora stepped through the towering doors, the atmosphere shifted.

The room quieted, conversations fading as heads turned toward her.

She walked with effortless grace, her presence commanding attention without a word. The years had sharpened her...not just in appearance, but in the quiet strength she carried. Dressed in a sleek black suit, she moved with purpose, her chin lifted slightly.

Leo walked beside her, steady and unwavering, but she no longer needed anyone to stand as her shield.
