Looks to me that your alternator is working properly. It is not the
problem.

Subject: Enough volts - alternator

My alternator is running 13.84Volts tops when cold at the battery.
After things are warm it drops to 13.76 Volts.
When I run the air conditioning it's 13.4 Volts.

It does eventually drain the battery.  I did find that the brass collar
that goes
on the solinoid had a bad connection.  After replacing that solder joint
I am
hoping things will get better.

Is there a source for replacement regulators?
