Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 124 – You Should Have Warned Us About Your Ex-Wife

"This is a shameful path," Gray admitted under his breath, his voice carrying a tired weight that sounded heavier than anything he had said all day. The tension in his chest had been building since morning, and the realization that everything they had worked for was collapsing around them left a bitter taste he could not ignore.

After a moment he exhaled slowly and forced himself to continue. "Let’s go see him. My company is already beyond saving, so I’ll call my assistant and have every appointment canceled. There’s no point pretending anything can still be fixed."

Riven leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling as though the answer to their disaster might somehow be written there.

The speed of their losses had spread faster than wildfire, and the humiliation waiting for them back at the pack felt worse than the financial ruin itself.

After a moment he gave a slow nod and ran a hand through his hair, the gesture full of frustration. "Yeah, I’ll do the same thing. Once we’re done with that we can meet him at his office," he replied, his voice steady even though the situation was anything but.

"Honestly, that’s a lot better than standing in front of the entire pack and watching them tear us apart. They can banish us behind our backs if they want, but at least we won’t be there getting treated like criminals in front of everyone."

At the end of the line, Gray gave a humorless laugh that held no real amusement, only exhaustion and regret. The idea of returning home to face the elders and the whispers of the pack felt unbearable, especially when he already knew exactly how that story would end.

"Yeah, maybe we won’t be able to look our colleagues in the eye here in the city anymore, but that still beats the shame waiting for us back home," he muttered while rubbing his temples. The memory of Voren’s warning surfaced again, and the regret burned even deeper.

"We should have listened to Voren when he told us to stay away from her. If I somehow get another life after this one, I swear I’ll never cross a she-wolf again."

Riven did not argue with that statement, because deep down he knew Gray was right. Instead of replying, he gave a quiet nod that carried more agreement than words ever could. The silence between them stretched for several seconds before they both ended the call and began making the ones that would end what remained of their professional lives.
