Alpha's Regret Too Late to Love Me novel Chapter 142

Alexander’s POV

“Border breach,” I said tersely, yanking on my pants with quick, efficient movements. “Three rogues were found dead just inside our territory. But that’s not the worst part.”

“What else happened?” Summer asked, correctly reading the new tension in my shoulders.

“It’s Lyra. Her water broke.” I ran a hand through my disheveled hair. “She’s at the pack hospital. The baby’s coming early.”

Summer’s eyes widened. “She’s not due for another two weeks.”

Even as she spoke, she was already slipping into her dress, her movements swift and precise.

Watching her seamlessly shift from the aftermath of our passion to sharp, focused readiness made my wolf rumble with approval. She wasn’t just my mate–she was everything a Luna should be.

“I know,” I muttered, jaw clenched as I helped zip up her dress, my fingers less steady than I would have liked. “Between this and the border situation…”

Summer placed her hand on my cheek, bringing my focus back to her. “Your sister needs you right now. The border security can follow protocol until you’re able to address it.”

She was right, of course. I nodded, pressing a quick kiss to her palm before grabbing my jacket.

We barely spoke as we rushed through the hotel lobby. The staff had wisely prepared our car, sensing the urgency. Summer’s hand remained clasped tightly in mine during the drive, her presence a steadying

force beside me.

“She’s going to be okay,” Summer murmured, her thumb tracing soothing circles on the back of my hand.”

Lyra is strong.”

“She is,” I agreed, though my mind was racing with concerns. My sister had been through so much

already.

“Do you think it’s connected?” Summer asked quietly. “The border breach and Lyra going into labor on the

same night?”

My wolf growled at the suggestion, though I’d been thinking the same thing. “I don’t believe in

coincidences,” I admitted.

The pack hospital came into view, its modern glass facade gleaming under the security lights. As Alpha, I’d ensured our medical facilities were second to none, equipped with the best technology available to treat our kind. Now I was grateful for every penny spent as my sister fought to bring her child into the

world.

Chapter 142

We rushed through the entrance, the staff immediately directing us to the maternity wing.

Beta Ethan met us at the elevator, his normally composed features tight with concern.

“Alpha, Luna,” he nodded respectfully. “Lyra is in delivery room three. The doctor says she’s progressing rapidly.”

“How long has she been in labor?” I demanded, punching the elevator button with more force than

necessary.

“We believe contractions started earlier this evening during dinner, but she didn’t recognize them as such. By the time she called for help, she was already seven centimeters dilated.”

Stubborn, just like always. My sister had probably been suffering in silence for hours, not wanting to ” cause trouble.” The thought made me want to growl in frustration.
