Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 399 – To Voren, there is no such thing as a small wedding

Madison froze the second the words left Seraphine’s lips. For a long moment she just stood there staring, completely thrown.

The question sounded simple enough on the surface, but it hit her hard, dragging up years of buried memories and feelings she’d worked so hard to keep locked away.

After Seraphine became Luna of the Centenary Pack, Madison and Einstein had made the tough choice to leave that life behind for good. Above all, they’d promised each other they’d never join another pack again.

Yet standing here in front of Seraphine now, Madison felt that promise starting to waver under the weight of those hopeful eyes.

Madison swallowed hard and forced a small smile. "I’ll talk to Einstein about it," she said, her voice coming out softer than she meant. She added quickly, trying to shield herself, "Honestly, we were planning to head straight home right after the wedding."

The light in Seraphine’s face dimmed right away. A little frown creased her brows as the unanswered questions piled up between them. Madison’s hesitation only made her more convinced that something important was being kept from her.

"Why don’t we all come back here afterward?" Seraphine suggested, stepping closer, her tone brightening with fresh hope. "We can leave together for the Full Moon Festival tomorrow. Voren already booked hotels in the Outlands for anyone who doesn’t want to stay at the pack house."

Madison smiled politely, though the warmth didn’t touch her eyes. "Sera..." she murmured gently. "I do plan on coming for the Blood Moon Festival. But I wasn’t planning on sticking around for the Full Moon one."

Seraphine’s heart dropped. At this point she was almost positive Madison knew something.

"What would it take to get you back?" she asked softly.

The question caught Madison off guard. Before she could even come up with something to say, Seraphine’s voice dropped lower, full of quiet honesty. "I miss you."
