Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 254 – Alpha Voren is in love with Luna Sera

Voren wiped the rain off his face with his palm. It came straight back. The sky wasn’t done with any of them tonight.

"Thank you," Seraphine said, and every word of it was final. "But I’ll walk."

"It’s not safe." Voren’s eyes moved briefly down the road and back. More trees could come down. Visibility was almost nothing. Whatever strength Seraphine had, and she had plenty, it wasn’t the same as an Alpha cutting through a storm. "You can’t see twenty feet in front of you out there."

"You don’t understand." She pressed her lips together, eyes sliding sideways for just a second like she was already dreading the next part. The rain was soaking through her completely, her hair flat against her face. "It’s that time of the month."

She got the whole sentence out, and the faint smile that crossed Voren’s face was so quick she almost missed it.

"Your period?" His voice was flat, amusement sitting just underneath it. The exact tone a person uses when someone tells them something they consider a non-issue.

Seraphine looked at him longer than she normally would before she finally pulled her eyes away.

She wanted the rain to become something physical. Something with arms. Something that could pick her up and carry her horizontally into the distance so she never had to exist in this specific moment again.

Voren, completely unbothered and apparently unaware of what she was internally dissolving, bent forward and dropped his shoulders into position like this was already decided.

"I came into this world through a she-wolf." He said it simply. "It doesn’t bother me. Get on."

She stood there in the rain and stared at the back of his head.
