Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 87 - She’s bold, and I like her already

Then something unexpected happened. Seraphine smiled.

The quiet curve of her lips appeared so suddenly that Ravyn’s confidence faltered for the briefest moment, because the reaction was nothing like what he had predicted.

Instead of fear or humiliation, her expression carried a strange composure that stirred an uneasy feeling in his chest while he watched her closely.

And for the first time since this confrontation began, Ravyn felt the unsettling suspicion that the situation might not unfold exactly the way he expected.

Seraphine had already planted the trap for Ravyn long before this night ever began, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing that every step he took from this moment forward would lead him closer to his own destruction gave her a strange sense of calm that steadied her nerves even in a room filled with powerful men who believed they controlled the world.

Her plan rested on patience and precision, because the goal was never to attack him recklessly or expose the truth too early, since that would only give him time to escape the consequences that had been building around him like invisible chains tightening with every passing day.

The real objective had always been to make Ravyn comfortable enough to return to the pack, to let him relax just enough to believe that he still held power and control over the situation, because once he stepped back into the territory where Damon was waiting, the DNA test would finally expose everything that Seraphine had been searching for including Bryan.

When that moment arrived and the truth surfaced, Ravyn would discover that the life he had carefully built around lies and arrogance would crumble beneath him in a way he could never repair, and the thought alone made Seraphine feel as if she had already won a battle that he had not even realized had begun.

After the truth came out and Damon secured the evidence he needed, Ravyn would reach a point where he would curse the very moment he was born, because Seraphine had already decided that once she uncovered everything connected to Daisy, there would be no more restraint holding her back.

Every secret, every hidden crime, every twisted move he had made behind closed doors would surface under the light, and the consequences waiting for him would make the humiliation of this night feel like a harmless memory.
