Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 130 – Daisy’s in that mess too

Seraphine leaned back slightly, her fingers resting against her lap as she watched Corvine, and there was this quiet, almost reluctant admiration building inside her chest that she didn’t even try to hide anymore because, honestly, the man kept exceeding every expectation she had ever placed on him.

She had always known he was efficient back at the pack, had seen it firsthand in the way he handled things with precision and calm authority, but this version of him in the city felt like something else entirely, like he had stepped into a bigger arena and somehow become even sharper, like the environment only made him thrive harder.

"Tell me in the car," she said, her voice carrying that light, amused edge, like she already knew whatever he was about to say would be worth hearing, and Corvine’s lips curved into a small smile as he nodded and led her toward the car without wasting another second.

The moment they were inside, and the engine came to life, the city stretching out ahead of them in a blur of movement and noise, Corvine got straight to it, his tone steady, focused, like he had already organized everything in his head.

"First thing I did was get Emery a temporary position with the Stone Group," he began, one hand resting on the wheel while the other adjusted slightly as he navigated through traffic, "and I made sure her salary was adjusted in a way that Zane won’t be able to take too much from her anymore."

Seraphine’s brows drew together almost instantly, her attention snapping fully to him as the implication settled in. "Take from her?" she echoed, her tone dipping, already sensing where this was going.

Corvine exhaled lightly, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. "Apparently, he’s neck-deep in shady stuff. He brings girls from the pack into the city, sets them up with jobs, and then takes sixty percent of whatever they earn."

"That’s wicked," Seraphine muttered under her breath, her lips pressing into a thin line as a deep frown formed on her face, and just like that, the lightness she had been carrying earlier started to fade, replaced by something heavier.

Corvine didn’t stop there. "And that’s not even the worst part."
