Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 463 – I refuse to let that happen to you

Vladimir didn’t need to say a word. The freezing wind that suddenly howled across the pack grounds made everything feel urgent and crystal clear.

Seraphine shivered hard as the bitter cold cut through her, leaving her almost dizzy from the sharp drop in temperature.

Without wasting another second, the group picked up their pace and hurried toward the gym, with Vladimir sticking right behind them the whole way like a protective shadow.

By the time they neared the entrance, the snow was coming down in thick, heavy sheets, and the temperature had plummeted so fast it sliced straight through their clothes like icy knives.

Vladimir didn’t hesitate for even a heartbeat. He shrugged off his heavy coat and gently draped it over Seraphine’s shoulders, his movements surprisingly tender and full of care.

"Forgive me for not thinking of this sooner," he told her, his eyes filled with deep, genuine worry that made his whole expression soften. "You need to stay warm out here. If you get too chilled right now, you’ll be suffering from it for the rest of the night, and I refuse to let that happen to you."

Seraphine looked up at him, her heart genuinely touched by the real concern etched across his face. A warm, grateful smile spread across her lips. "Thank you so much for that."

She made sure to skip any formal titles when she spoke to him, letting her voice stay soft and friendly. Another happy thought bubbled up, and her smile grew even brighter.

"And I have to say, I really loved that soup you made earlier. It was amazing."

Vladimir let out a soft chuckle, clearly pleased by her compliment.
