Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 331: You and Mommy are stronger than him

Everyone turned toward the doorway. Jasmine stood there quietly. She’d clearly been listening for longer than anyone realized.

She stepped forward slowly, her eyes staying on Esperanza. "One day, she told me her old daddy was dangerous. She said she had to stay away from him."

Voren frowned. Jasmine nodded. "Alpha Ravyn was visiting the pack at the time. Honestly, I didn’t really understand what she was talking about back then." The pieces finally clicked into place for everyone.

At first it had been hard and even painful to hear. But now things felt different. She finally understood.

The woman standing beside Voren wasn’t just another woman. She was ’the woman.’ The one his parents had always talked about, the one who had broken him, and somehow the same one who had healed him.

For the first time, Jasmine accepted what she’d been avoiding for months. It was time to move on. The realization hurt, but not as much as she thought it would. Maybe because she could finally see how deeply Voren loved Seraphine, and how much Seraphine loved him right back.

She glanced toward Seraphine, a faint smile curling her lips. She’d expected arrogance or hostility, but Seraphine had only shown her kindness.

Any other woman in her position might have demanded she leave immediately, yet Seraphine never had. That meant something more than Jasmine could easily put into words.

Back at the table, Seraphine’s attention stayed fixed on Esperanza. One particular comment had really caught her interest. The mention of an "old daddy," a dangerous one. Her curiosity finally won out. "Espe."

The little girl looked up right away. "Tell me about your old daddy."

The change in Esperanza was immediate. Her playful expression vanished completely, replaced by something far too serious for a child her age.
