Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 161 – Why not train her yourself?

Seraphine wasn’t sure when it started happening, or if it had been building gradually without her noticing, but lately, Corvine had begun to think almost exactly the way she did.

It was subtle at first, just small moments where he would voice something she hadn’t said yet, but had already formed in her mind. Now it was becoming harder to ignore, like he was catching up to her pace faster than she expected.

And honestly, she wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or something that would eventually complicate everything.

Her attention snapped back when Voren suddenly grabbed Corvine and pulled him aside without warning. The movement was sharp, controlled, and carried a level of tension that immediately made her wary.

Voren’s expression darkened in a way that wasn’t easy to read, but it definitely wasn’t friendly.

Seraphine stayed where she was, her posture relaxed on the surface, but every sense sharpened as she tried to pick up even a fragment of what they were saying. No matter how closely she listened, though, their voices stayed just out of reach, low and guarded. She could not hear a thing.

"What makes you think I’m afraid of her?" Voren’s voice came through faintly, cold and edged with irritation. "I gave you a direct order. You were supposed to come alone, and you still managed to ignore that."

Corvine calmly adjusted his shirt where Voren had grabbed it, showing no sign of intimidation even though the tension between them was obvious. His tone stayed respectful, but there was no mistaking the firmness underneath it.
