Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 142 – You really have no dignity

’You! I hate you.’

The words flashed across the screen with a kind of raw aggression that almost felt physical, like they had been thrown straight at her face instead of typed out behind a keyboard.

Seraphine didn’t even flinch. Her fingers hovered for only a second before she responded, her tone cool, almost detached in contrast to the emotion pouring out of him.

’I’d be surprised if you didn’t. But I’d love to know why.’

There was a pause this time. Not long, but long enough to feel intentional, like he was choosing his words carefully, or maybe just letting his anger build before releasing it all at once.

Then his reply came.

’I always had my eyes on you when I lived at the pack. I tried to get your attention a few times when we were teenagers, but all you ever talked about was Ravyn. I’m so glad he divorced you and turned you into a joke. And I heard from Daisy that they killed your child. Does it hurt?’

The air in the room changed instantly.

Corvine felt it before he even looked at her, that sharp spike of tension that filled the space like something alive. When he turned, he saw it clearly. A tear slipping down Seraphine’s cheek, silent and uninvited, betraying the one place she was still vulnerable.

"Sera, let it go," he said quietly, his voice careful, like he didn’t want to push her too far in either direction.

Her eyes stayed on the screen, unblinking, locked in. "No," she said, her voice low but steady, carrying a weight that made it clear she wasn’t backing down. "I’ve come too far."

She was about to type again when another message started forming on the screen.
