Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 224 – Alpha Voren, please behave...

The moment Voren turned his attention toward Ravyn, Seraphine didn’t waste a second, instinctively stepping back toward Damon with the clear intention of leaving before things became even more complicated, but she barely made it a step before Voren’s hand closed firmly around her arm, his grip unyielding as he held her in place like he had no intention of letting her slip away again.

"I already told you why I’m here," Voren said, his voice steady as he faced Ravyn, though the tension beneath it was impossible to miss. "She’s off duty now, so I’ll take her back to her hotel... and have a few words with her."

Seraphine’s jaw tightened instantly, irritation flashing across her face as she tried to pull free, her voice low and edged with frustration. "I’m not going anywhere with you."

"Alpha Voren," Damon stepped in, his tone polite but carrying just enough firmness to make his stance clear, "please behave."

Voren’s gaze flickered toward him with warning, before he leaned closer to Seraphine, his voice dropping into a whisper meant for her ears alone, his tone subtle but heavy with intent. "I’ve heard a few things," he murmured. "Damon is your accomplice, isn’t he? Now tell me, are you coming with me willingly, or do you want me to make everything public?"

For a fraction of a second, Seraphine went still.

Then her expression hardened, something cold settling into her eyes as she finally succeeded in pulling her arm free, the movement strident and decisive.

"Fine," she said, her voice calm but carrying a quiet edge. "Let’s talk."
