Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 320: It’s finally her turn to be happy

Corvine was already grateful that Voren had trusted him enough to share the full truth about the curse.

The fact that the Alpha was now offering him such an important place in their future only reinforced one clear thing: this wasn’t about politics or convenience.

This was entirely because of how deeply Voren loved Seraphine, and because he understood exactly how much Seraphine trusted Corvine in return.

"If I’m supposed to return to the pack, then I need people around me that I can really trust," Voren explained, leaning back against the sofa as he carefully weighed everything that could possibly go wrong.

"Kael is someone I would trust with my life without hesitation, but Sera doesn’t have anyone there she can truly call a friend. On top of that, my mother is going to be a real problem because she’s incredibly fond of Jasmine."

Corvine’s brows drew together immediately. The look he gave Voren made it clear he wasn’t thrilled with what he was hearing. "Hold on. Who exactly is this Jasmine? You never mentioned her before."

Voren rubbed the back of his neck and then gave him a full, detailed explanation about Jasmine and the role she had played in his life over the years. By the time he finished talking, Corvine was staring at him with a deep frown carved across his face.

For several long moments, Corvine stayed quiet, letting everything sink in as he processed what he had just heard. Finally, he shrugged. "Well, if Sera doesn’t have a problem with it, then why should I?"

His expression softened a little as thoughts of Seraphine came to mind. "I know Sera better than anyone else does. She’s emotionally intelligent and she knows exactly how to handle difficult situations. She doesn’t go looking for trouble, and she’s not the type to bite if not provoked. If she ever lashes out, it’s only because someone pushed her way too far first."
