After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret novel Chapter 205

Cole.

In his hands, he held a bouquet of white moonflowers, their petals glowing softly in the golden sunset.

Behind him, Abby, dressed in a crisp white dress, smiled and waved at Nora.

“Auntie Nora, we've come to pick you up.”

Their appearance drew the attention of countless people.

But Cole’s gaze was locked on only one person.

He walked toward Nora without hesitation. Then, with a small, knowing smile, he held out the flowers.

"Welcome home, Nora," he said quietly.

Nora took the flowers from Cole, her fingers brushing against his for the briefest moment. The scent of moonflowers wrapped around her, soft and delicate, carrying with it the feeling of something new.

A slow, almost imperceptible smile touched her lips, and for the first time in a long while, her eyes softened...no longer guarded, no longer carrying the weight of the past.

She had spent years building herself back up, layer by layer, learning how to exist without the pain that had once defined her.

Now, standing here with Cole, Abby tugging at her sleeve, she felt something she hadn’t dared to hope for.

She felt like she had a place to return to.

Alex, who had been standing quietly, suddenly shifted on his feet. His hands clenched at the hem of his shirt, and after a moment of hesitation, he lifted his head to look at his mother.

His voice was uncertain.

“Is he your current… mate?”

The question hung in the air.

Nora glanced at Cole, who remained silent, his expression calm, waiting for her to answer on her own terms. She turned back to Alex and, with a gentle honesty, replied, “Not yet, but probably… soon.”

Alex lowered his gaze, processing the words. His mother’s answer wasn’t forced or hesitant...it was simple, truthful. That alone reassured him.

Then, with a deep breath, he looked at Cole again and asked, “Can I call you Uncle?”

Cole’s lips curled into a warm smile. He crouched down, bringing himself to Alex’s eye level, his tone both playful and sincere.

“I’d be honored if you would.”

Off to the side, Abby, who had been waiting with bubbling excitement, grabbed Nora’s hand and started bouncing on her feet.

“Great!” she cheered, her voice filled with unfiltered joy. “I finally have an aunt!”

Her happiness was infectious, and in that moment, the invisible wall that had existed between Alex and Abby...the quiet hesitation of two children who had been uncertain of where they fit... It was simply dissolved.

Alex’s shoulders, once tense, eased slightly, and he glanced at Abby with something closer to acceptance.
