Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 145 – Dad... I miss Mom. Can you bring her back?

The air around them grew so tight it felt like it might snap at any second, the kind of silence that pressed in from all sides until even the smallest sound became impossible to ignore.

For a moment, no one spoke, and in that stillness, the faint hum of the trees outside seemed louder than it should have been, like nature itself was leaning in, listening.

Daisy stood there, her chest rising and falling too fast, her breath uneven like she might collapse if she didn’t steady herself soon. Her vision felt unfocused, her balance fragile, and then she saw it.

Ravyn’s eyes. The way he looked at her. It wasn’t just anger.

It was disappointment, and somehow, that felt worse. "Daisy," he said, his voice low but heavy with emotion he wasn’t even trying to hide, "what exactly am I hearing right now? I trusted you with Bryan, our son."

The words hit harder than any accusation.

For the first time since all of this started, Daisy didn’t have a response ready. Her mouth parted slightly, but nothing came out. The weight of his gaze pinned her in place, stripping away the confidence she usually hid behind.

Then he said something that cut even deeper. "Don’t tell me Seraphine took better care of our child than you ever did."

That snapped something inside her. "Rav, how can you even say that?" she shot back, her voice shaking, caught somewhere between defensiveness and desperation. "Wasn’t I the one taking care of Bryan as his nanny?"

But Ravyn didn’t back down. If anything, his expression hardened even more.

"Yeah," he said, his tone sharp now, every word carrying weight, "but how many nights did I see Seraphine go into his room after everyone else had gone to sleep? Making sure the temperature was right, checking on him, giving him medicine when he needed it?"

Each word landed like a blow, and the truth behind them made it worse. That was the part Daisy hadn’t known.
