Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 107 – you should lose an arm along with them

The two Alphas felt a wave of relief rush through them the moment Ravyn’s voice interrupted Voren, because the sword that had been seconds away from slicing through Gray’s arm remained frozen in the air, and for a brief moment it looked as though fate itself had stepped in to spare them from a punishment they had been powerless to stop.

Both men immediately looked toward Ravyn with silent gratitude burning in their eyes, convinced that his intervention would soften Voren’s resolve and allow them to walk away from the night with their bodies intact.

Ravyn himself believed the same thing.

For years he had relied on the strength of his friendship with Voren, trusting that no matter how complicated a situation became, that bond would ultimately shield him from the worst consequences.

However, the expression on Voren’s face soon made it painfully clear that Ravyn had misunderstood the situation entirely.

"For the sake of friendship," Voren finally said after lowering the sword slightly so that his arm could rest for a moment, his voice carrying a calm cruelty that felt heavier than any shout, "you should lose an arm along with them."

The words struck Ravyn like a sudden blow, and the disbelief that appeared on his face made it obvious that he had never expected such a response.

"Voren, Seraphine deserved everything she got," Ravyn argued quickly, his voice rising with frustration as he tried to defend himself. "Before you arrived she kicked me in the groin hard enough to drop me to the floor, then she slapped me in front of everyone and told my father that I was the one bullying her. Have you already forgotten everything she did to Daisy? Why are you protecting her now, and how can you ignore everything she has done in the past?"

Ravyn had always understood that Voren could be ruthless when he decided to enforce his authority, yet he also knew that Voren carried certain weaknesses that could be reached through the right words.

Many times in the past Ravyn had managed to steer situations in his favor by reminding Voren of shared grudges and old conflicts.

This time, however, Voren did not react the way he used to.

"What she did in the past?" Voren repeated sharply, his voice rising with a sudden intensity that filled the room with tension. "What exactly did you expect her to do after you killed her child?"
