Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 250 - Alphas have some serious code against exes

"Alpha Voren and Luna Seraphine look good together. Too bad they can’t be together. Alphas have some serious code against exes," one of the patients who had already been treated before Ravyn got there said. She was sitting up on her medical bed, her voice carrying easily through the sound of the rain.

The woman next to her jumped right in, like she had been waiting for an opening.

"From what I picked up, those codes can be broken, but the consequences are ugly. I don’t think Alpha Voren would risk all of that for his best friend’s ex-wife. That’s a whole different level of trouble."

"But they are divorced," the first woman pushed back, folding her arms like that settled everything. "I used to hate her, I won’t even lie about that. But now? After everything she did today? I feel like I owe that woman my life. She deserves good things, especially happiness."

"And Alpha Voren hates women." The second patient raised an eyebrow, her tone flat, like she was pointing out something obvious that everyone kept ignoring.

The first one wasn’t having it. She waved a hand like she was brushing the whole argument off the table. "There are always exceptions. There is always going to be that one woman who walks in and knocks every wall down. Look at our own Alpha. The man is terrifying to everyone except co-Luna. She is literally his only soft spot."

A few feet away, Doctor Raymond had just pushed himself up from the ground where he had been crouched, picking up what was left of the broken cure. His knees ached. His back ached worse. But none of that mattered the second his eyes landed on Ravyn’s figure from the window, standing in front of the ward, back turned, rain already starting to soak through his clothes.

Raymond’s stomach dropped.

He straightened up fast and pointed at the two women without even looking at them fully. "If you two are well enough to sit there gossiping like this is a social club, then you are discharged. Get out of here before you cause me problems I don’t need today."

Ravyn had already heard more than enough. It wasn’t even the first time somebody had tried to push this idea on him. That Voren looked at Seraphine differently. That he treated her like she was something special.

Ravyn had heard some version of this more times than he could count and every single time, he filed it away under nonsense and moved on.

Because he knew Voren. And he knew that for Voren, everything came down to money. It had always been that way. Voren was calculated and cold and he did not do things without a reason that benefited him first.
