Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 195 – I think you lack brains, Ravyn

On the other end of the call, Seraphine’s expression tightened just slightly, the reaction so subtle it barely registered on her face, but inside, irritation had already started building, slow and heavy, pressing against her ribs like something she didn’t want to deal with today.

The only reason Ravyn even had her new number was because of Bryan’s condition and that had been strictly professional, clean boundaries, no emotional ties, no room for anything personal, which made this call feel even more out of line.

And now he had the nerve to ask her for help? The audacity of it almost made her laugh. "Ravyn, I think you are talking to the wrong person."

Her voice came out calm, cool, almost distant, like she had already stepped away from the conversation even though the call was still active.

On the other side, Ravyn swallowed hard, the tension in his throat obvious even through the phone, because he never imagined things between them would end up like this, never imagined that one day he’d have to measure his words around her, unsure of where he stood.

"Sera, there has been a chemical explosion."

The words hit, and everything inside her went still.

For a second, her surroundings faded, the office, the soft hum of electronics, the quiet buzz of the city outside the glass windows, all of it dimmed as her mind dragged her straight back into a memory she had never fully escaped.

The explosion at the pack that left her paralyzed whiles Ravyn left her to rot in that bed, as he went about parading his mistress. Now he needed her?

Her fingers curled tighter around her phone, but she didn’t say anything, not right away, and Ravyn mistook that silence for permission.

"I’m investigating the matter, but those injured are showing no signs of recovery, getting worse by the day."

A scoff slipped out of her before she could stop it, sharp and laced with disbelief.
