Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 415 - Until the day you find it in your heart to forgive me

Olivia had always hated dealing with smart people. They noticed the tiny details everyone else overlooked. They asked the tough questions she could never answer without slipping up.

They uncovered the secrets she had worked so damn hard to bury deep where no one could find them. That was one of the biggest reasons she had disliked Seraphine from the very beginning.

Seraphine wasn’t easy to fool at all. She saw straight through people way too quickly, cutting right to the heart of things. Even now, Olivia knew this entire nightmare had kicked off because she had stubbornly insisted that Voren marry Athaliah.

If she had simply stayed quiet, if she hadn’t tried so hard to control every part of his life, none of this would have exploded the way it did.

Her own greed had ripped open every single lie she had spent decades protecting so carefully. Now there was no escaping the brutal consequences that were coming for her.

Once she faced public disgrace in front of the whole pack, every Luna across all the packs would turn their backs on her without hesitation. None of them would defend her. The Alpha Code demanded loyalty to justice above any personal feelings, Lunas standing with their Alphas no matter what.

Ironically, the same rules she had relied on for years while pretending to be Grimroot’s Luna were now the very rules that would completely destroy her.

A defeated, bitter laugh escaped her lips. She slowly sank down onto the deck, no longer caring one bit about how undignified or pathetic she looked. Her clothes were all wrinkled and messed up, her face was stained with tears and mucus, and nothing about her resembled the proud, respected Luna she had pretended to be for so many decades.

"You’re right," she muttered, staring blankly at the wooden floor beneath her. "I became greedy, Kylie." Another tear rolled slowly down her cheek. "The moment I stepped into the Grimroot Pack... I lost myself completely."
