Chapter 198 – I miss my wolf

Corvine hadn’t been wrong.

The moment Seraphine picked up the call, Humphrey didn’t waste time circling around the issue or pretending it was anything else. His voice came through heavy with sincerity, carrying regret.

"Sera... I’m sorry," he said, the apology quiet but honest. "I shouldn’t be calling you about Ravyn."

Seraphine didn’t need an explanation. She already knew where this was going, and just the thought of it stirred something bitter in her chest, something she had worked hard to bury.

"You want me to help him?" she asked, her tone calm, but there was an edge beneath it, sharp, restrained, but unmistakable.

It wasn’t just about Ravyn, but everything tied to him.

Humphrey let out a slow breath on the other end. "I only agreed to ask because this concerns the pack," he said carefully. "But I made it clear to him—he’ll have to pay. And whatever conditions you set... he has to accept them."

That part made her pause, and something stirred inside her, subtle but real, like warmth seeping into a place that had been cold for too long.

Of course, Humphrey wouldn’t make this easy for Ravyn. "If you don’t mind," Seraphine said after a moment, her tone softening slightly as she gathered her thoughts, "I’ll call you back."

"I’ll be waiting," Humphrey replied.

The line went silent, as Seraphine lowered the phone slowly before turning to Corvine, her expression thoughtful, conflicted in a way she couldn’t completely hide.

"I can’t refuse him," she admitted quietly. "He’s... he’s my father now."

There was a pause before she added, more firmly, "But if I’m going to help, there have to be conditions."
