Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 454 – Athaliah slapped Daisy

King Jaron carried himself with that calm, unshakable authority of a true ruler who was used to commanding respect.

Queen Pandora moved with the kind of elegant grace that everyone expected from a queen, every step looking refined and poised.

Jasper stood proudly right beside his parents, looking every bit the prince and soon to be Alpha. And then there was Athaliah.

The years she had spent living in France had polished her already graceful nature even more, and her experience in the fashion industry showed in every little detail of how she looked.

Her outfit was elegant without being over-the-top flashy, perfectly tailored to hug her figure in all the right ways. Every accessory, every color choice, every single part of her outfit screamed confidence and impeccable taste. She looked exactly like what a princess should be, stunning, regal, and impossible to ignore.

All the visiting Alphas, Lunas, and other guests couldn’t help stealing extra glances at her, completely captivated.

Daisy found herself admiring the princess, at least until Athaliah opened her mouth and started speaking.

Her cool, steady gaze settled directly on Ravyn. "Alpha Ravyn," she said, her voice calm and full of respect. "I’m only speaking to you right now out of respect for your pack."

Then her eyes drifted over to Daisy, and all the warmth vanished in an instant. Her beautiful face went completely cold. "As for this she-wolf here... she will never be my friend. Not now, not ever."

The words hit hard, landing with real weight in the middle of the crowded pack. Conversations around them died down immediately as everyone nearby stopped to watch what was going to happen next.

Daisy’s face drained of all color in a heartbeat. She had already been bragging to several Lunas that Princess Athaliah would be on her side, that the two of them were going to team up and make Seraphine’s life completely miserable.
