Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 24 – you will never be Luna Seraphine

The corner of Voren’s lips curled upward, slow and knowing, the kind of smile that promised chaos without ever naming it.

"I already sent the message," he said smoothly. "She crossed the line with me. Just wait and enjoy the show."

Ravyn nodded, gratitude tightening his chest. He didn’t ask questions. With Voren, questions were rarely necessary.

They walked together out of the building, their footsteps echoing faintly, but once they reached the car park, their paths split naturally, two predators choosing different hunting grounds.

At the underground parking lot, engines rumbled to life. Ravyn slid into his car, his thoughts already racing ahead, while Voren drove off in the opposite direction, unhurried, confident. Whatever he had set in motion was already unfolding.

By the time Ravyn returned to the pack, Daisy’s surgery was over.

The sterile smell of the hospital hit him the moment he stepped inside. His heart clenched painfully when he saw her again, small, pale, lying motionless against white sheets that swallowed her fragile frame. The sight stirred something raw and guilty in him.

"What happened?" Ravyn asked sharply.

The doctor in charge shook his head gently. The image of Luna Seraphine flashed uninvited through his mind. Her labor, her pain, the countless moments Alpha Ravyn hadn’t been there.

He hadn’t even visited her once. Then came the chemical that got her bedridden. Again, their Alpha never showed up. They thought it was because he was busy but now, they knew that he meant every word when he said he never loved Seraphine.
