Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 126 – Just Stating the Facts

Ravyn swallowed hard, the tight feeling in his throat refusing to go away no matter how many times he tried to convince himself that everything was still under control.

The woman they were talking about was no longer the same Seraphine he used to know, and that truth pressed against his thoughts in a way he could not easily ignore.

The girl who once looked at him with shining eyes and shy devotion, the one who confessed her love for him nearly ten years ago with that soft hopeful smile, no longer existed in the world he was living in now.

That version of Seraphine had disappeared somewhere along the way.

The woman who stood in her place today was nothing like the Luna he once manipulated with a few gentle words and empty promises. The power she now held had grown so quickly that it almost felt unreal, and even though Ravyn hated admitting it, the truth remained unavoidable.

Seraphine had become stronger than him. If that were not the case, then how could she destroy two powerful Alphas with nothing more than a few calculated moves?

The memory alone made his jaw tighten again. "I’m not afraid of her," Ravyn said after a moment, forcing his voice to remain steady despite the tension swirling inside him. "I’m simply stating the facts."

Riven leaned back in his chair, studying Ravyn’s face carefully while a thoughtful expression crossed his features. A slow smile began to form at the corners of his mouth as an idea took shape in his mind.

"Well, none of us actually know what she would do yet," Riven said casually, his tone sounding almost relaxed despite the seriousness of the situation. "Why don’t you call Corvine and tell him that Gray and I are planning to work with you from now on? If Seraphine really has a problem with it, she will definitely send a warning."

The suggestion sounded harmless on the surface, but Riven’s thoughts were already moving in another direction.
