Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 385 - You sound very familiar

Seraphine’s heart slammed against her ribs the second the possibility hit her. Doctor Finn? Out of everyone she could’ve imagined running into in the Grimroot Pack, he was the absolute last person she expected.

A huge wave of memories crashed over her all at once, pulling her right back to those raw, painful years. After finding out she was pregnant, she’d come back to the pack carrying way more heartbreak than joy.

The pregnancy had been brutal from day one, with the physical aches and the emotional storm nearly breaking her. She’d needed something, anything, to keep her mind from drowning in all that misery.

That’s when learning became her lifeline. Instead of hiding away and letting the pain swallow her whole, she’d thrown herself back into the academy for several intense months.

That was exactly where Doctor Finn had stepped into her life. He’d been one of the most respected doctors there, and eventually he became her mentor, pushing her harder than anyone else ever had.

He constantly challenged her to go way beyond the textbooks and traditional pack healing methods, forcing her to think sharper and deeper. Back then, she’d admired him so much it almost hurt.

Even now, after all these years, that respect still sat deep in her chest. Which was exactly why she was secretly hoping like hell that this wasn’t him standing right in front of her.

If even Doctor Finn couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the warriors, it would feel so strange and heavy for her to be the one coming up with the answers.

’He is. Do you know him?’ Voren’s voice came through their mindlink, steady and curious.

Seraphine’s lips twitched into a small, bittersweet smile.’He was my mentor.’

Voren’s eyebrow shot up, and a teasing grin spread across his face.’Am I surprised? I guess the student really did end up surpassing the teacher.’
