Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 231 - Luna Seraphine has protection

Sleep had become a stranger to Daisy.

She lay in the dark with her eyes open and her mind going at full speed, turning the same thoughts over and over, the way your tongue keeps finding a sore tooth even when you know it’s only going to hurt.

Damon’s report about Seraphine’s success in the city had hit her somewhere tender and deep, not because it surprised her exactly, but because success like that meant visibility. And visibility meant exposure. And exposure was the one thing Daisy absolutely could not afford.

What was really keeping her awake, though, was that Seraphine had been standing right in front of Ravyn and hadn’t said a word about everything she knew about Daisy. She’d had every reason to, even the perfect opening, and yet, she’d let it pass.

The more Daisy turned that over, the more certain she became that it wasn’t mercy. It wasn’t even restraint. It was patience. Seraphine was building toward something, arranging pieces in an order Daisy couldn’t quite see yet, and that patience was scarier than any explosion would’ve been.

There was only one conclusion. Seraphine had to be stopped before whatever she was building came together.

Daisy’s mind went quickly to a name, someone inside the pack, who owed her, and would move without too many questions. Quickly, she sent the mind link before she had time to second-guess herself, her claws lengthening slowly against the sheets.

’Contact rogue assassins. Seraphine has to be gone tonight.’

The response came back fast, and the hesitation inside it made her claws press harder. ’Tonight? Who treats the paralyzed pack members if she’s gone?’
