Alpha's Regret: He craved my love when I let him goChapter 1

(Dahlia POV)

I stared at my blank phone screen. Tears welled up in my eyes. It was my 22nd birthday and I had cleared out my day to spend time with my boyfriend, Sebastian. But he didn’t show up.

I have been planning this day for the last three months because Sebastian was a busy man, considering the nature of his job. He was the Alpha of The Black Crescent Pack. He stepped up two years ago when his father Alpha Leonardo De Angelo got killed in a rogue attack. I can understand that it wasn’t easy to handle everything at such a young age but he can’t ignore me in all his work.

I dialled his number again and again but it went straight to voice mail.

“Sh*t! I don’t want to be alone on this day,” I mumbled and looked towards my food. All the food turned cold and my favorite chocolate cake started melting. I rushed it to the refrigerator but my mind was stuck on him. I was worried about the nature of his job. He went to visit a nearby pack but the increasing rogue attacks did nothing but increase my worry. But part of the problem was, Ravena. Beta Jackson’s daughter, Ravena, was his former lover but she left him a few years ago to pursue her dreams but now, she has come back into the pack after becoming a famous model and heroine.

“Please, Sebastian! Pick up,” I dialed his number again but he ended the call. I furrowed my brows in confusion. He never did that before. I was pacing around my small apartment, trying to not focus on everything that could’ve gone wrong. I received an automated message and a tear rolled down my cheek.

‘Something urgent came up’

I took a deep breath to calm myself and sat on my couch. I looked towards my anxiety pills and gulped two of them with water. Dating An Alpha wasn’t as stress-free as I had thought but it was worth it in the end because I love him. He saved my life once in a rogue attack and since then I fell for him hard and fast. I picked up my phone and typed a message for him.

‘Will I see you today?’

I felt like I waited an eternity for his reply. My mind went back to all the dates which he had missed so far because of that damn beta’s daughter. Be it riding a bicycle ride or picnic in a park. It didn’t matter what kind of date it was or how little it seemed, Sebastian showed up before Ravena’s arrival but after her, everything started revolving around her.
