Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 121 – Sera, what exactly are you doing with Voren?

On the other end of the call, Augustine felt a tight knot forming in his throat so suddenly that he had to cough several times before he could speak, the sound rough and strained as though the words he wanted to say had caught somewhere deep inside his chest and refused to move any further.

"Sera, what exactly are you doing with Voren?" he finally asked, his voice carrying a mixture of confusion and concern as he tried to understand why her name had suddenly become tied to the chairman of the Sovereign Circle.

Seraphine leaned back slightly in the chair across from Voren’s desk, her posture relaxed and her expression composed in a way that suggested the chaos surrounding her no longer had the power to disturb her calm.

"Oh, nothing unusual," she replied smoothly, her tone steady and almost casual despite the seriousness of the situation she was about to reveal. "He’s simply acting as a witness to what two of his friends, Alpha Gray Sanders and Riven Thorne, did to me at the Sovereign Circle."

For a moment there was silence on the line as Augustine processed her words, and when he spoke again his voice carried unmistakable curiosity.

"You actually attended the Sovereign Circle meeting?"

A faint smile curled Seraphine’s lips as she remembered the night that had nearly ended her life.

"Yeah, I went there and managed to secure a number of investors for my company," she explained calmly, as if she were describing an ordinary business gathering rather than a meeting filled with some of the most powerful billionaires in the region. "Unfortunately, Gray and Riven decided to poison me with wolfbane before the night was over."
