Chapter 26 Lenas question hung in the air , her voice full of disbelief . She looked back and forth between Silas and me , her sharp eyes searching for answers I met her gaze with a calm smile , the kind that clearly said , Yes , we know each other , and its none of your business . Of course , we do , I said with a light , easy tone , glancing at Silas with a look of harmless fondness . Why wouldnt we ? After all , our connection began when Silas agreed to work with me on my health product collaboration program . Thats when our partnership really took shape . nas jaw tightened . That was the exact reaction Id hoped for . She didnt need a reminder , but I gave it anyway . That project , her pride and joy , was now firmly in my hands . Not only that , but I had used it to build a connection with Silas something Lena couldnt ignore or forgive . Isnt that right , Silas ? I asked , letting my voice carry just enough charm to sting Lenas already bruised ego . Silas hesitated , caught between the two of us . Yes , thats correct , he said carefully , his tone even but his eyes darting to Lena . She looked ready to combust . Lena slammed her hand on the table , making the nearby diners jump in surprise . You bitch ! she hissed , her voice shaking with anger . You took that project from me ! Youve always been jealous , but this … this is too much ! I stayed calm , giving a small shrug . Its not stealing if you couldnt manage to hold onto it , I said , my voice steady and matter of fact . That was all it took . Lena lunged at me , her hand aiming to slap me across the face , but before she could make contact , Silas caught her wrist mid air . Enough ! Silas barked , his deep voice reverberating through the restaurant . Lena , control yourself ! Her eyes widened in shock . Youre defending her ? she cried , pointing at me as though I were some poisonous creature . After everything shes done ? Shes trying to ruin us ! I stepped back , feigning disappointment . I never thought the Alpha of Snowtooth Pack would tolerate such behavior from his Luna , I said , my voice low but pointed . Its … disheartening . Silas looked at me , guilt flickering in his eyes . Lorelei , wait- But I didnt let him finish . I turned on my heel and walked out , my heart pounding with satisfaction . The first part of my plan had unfolded perfectly . I had barely reached my car when my phone buzzed . Silass name flashed on the screen . I ignored the call , smiling to myself as it rang again . Then again . By the fourth call , I finally answered . Silas , I said , my tone clipped , what do you want ? Im sorry for what happened , he said , his voice pleading . Lena was out of line . Please , let me make it up to you . Can we talk ? In person ? I let the silence stretch , pretending to consider it . I dont know , Silas . Im not sure theres anything left to say . Lorelei , please , he insisted . I cant leave things like this . Where are you ? Let me come to you . I sighed , as if reluctant . Im at the lounge on Crescent Street . Ill be there in ten minutes , he said quickly , hanging up before I could change my mind . When Silas arrived , I was seated at the bar , a glass of wine in my hand . His broad frame filled the doorway , his eyes scanning the room until they landed on me . He looked …. relieved . Lorelei , he said as he approached , his tone softer now . Thank you for letting me meet you . 12:30 Alphas Regret : Magnificent Return of the Rejected Luna 9.0 % Chapter 26 I gestured to the seat beside me . Have a drink , Silas . You look like you need it . He hesitated , then nodded . Just one . It didnt take long to get him relaxed . What started as one drink quickly turned into two , then three . Silass usual calm and collected manner started to slip away . His words began to slur a little as he started talking more openly about his frustrations . He vented about Lena , the pack , and the constant pressure of his responsibilities , all the things that weighed on him . She doesnt … understand , he muttered , running a hand through his hair . I try , but … its never enough . stened quietly , feigning sympathy .

When we finally made it inside , he turned to me , his eyes dark and unfocused . Lorelei he whispered , his voice thick with emotion . Youre … beautiful . 1 froze as he reached out, his hand brushing against my cheek . Silas , I said firmly , stepping back . Youre drunk . He didnt seem to hear me .
