Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 1: Chapter 1 – She signed the divorce papers.

"Luna, Alpha Ravyn has sent another divorce agreement." Beta Corvine’s voice was careful, almost brittle, as if a single wrong word might shatter the air between them.

"He said he would reconsider if you agreed to accept Daisy as your co-Luna. He’s been telling the pack you’ll accept it anyway, that you love him too much to go through with a divorce and..."

Corvine froze, the rest of his sentence died in his throat. Luna Seraphine sat upright on the hospital bed, pale fingers steady as she signed her name at the bottom of the document. No hesitation or trembling. Just the quiet scratch of pen against paper.

For three months, this room had been her world. Sterile white walls, the low hum of healing machines. The sharp scent of antiseptic clinging to everything, and this was the seventh time divorce papers had found their way into her hands.

The first had come before Ravyn traveled to the Grimroot Pack with a suspicious condition. Either she allowed him to become the sole signatory to the pack’s accounts, or she signed the divorce.

The second arrived on their seventh wedding anniversary. He wanted Daisy, her former nanny’s daughter, to move into the pack house like when they were little.

The third came on Seraphine’s birthday. Daisy should become their son Bryan’s nanny, Ravyn said, so Seraphine could ’focus on pack duties.’

The fourth arrived on Alpha Ravyn’s own birthday, requesting Daisy as his personal assistant.

The fifth came after Daisy publicly humiliated her before the pack. Ravyn sent the papers and demanded Seraphine overlook the disrespect or accept the divorce.

The sixth arrived on their son, Bryan’s sixth birthday. Daisy should move into the Luna’s chamber, since Seraphine "never used it anyway."

Each time, Seraphine had torn the papers apart in front of the beta, her expression calm even as her heart cracked a little more.

When she had nearly lost her life saving the pack, exposed to a chemical attack that destroyed her health, she had expected some form of care, concern, or even pity.
