Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 462: Especially you, Sera...

Earlier that day, long before the storm had forced everyone to take shelter inside the gym, Corvine and Kael quietly watched as Seraphine and Athaliah talked together.

Neither one of them had expected the Silver Moon princess to come across as so genuinely friendly and approachable with Seraphine right from the start.

Athaliah had closed the distance between them with this bright, open smile lighting up her face, chatting away so naturally and comfortably that anyone watching from a distance would have easily assumed the two women had known each other for years and were catching up like old friends.

"I’ve been trying to reach you for a while now," Athaliah said, and a quick hint of real disappointment flickered across her expression. "I just couldn’t get through no matter what I tried."

"That robotic response kept tell me your phone was switched off or out of coverage area but I ended up hearing quite a lot about everything that happened with you."

Seraphine offered her a warm, apologetic smile in return. "Yeah, I changed my number after all that mess."

Athaliah nodded right away as if the explanation made total and perfect sense to her. "I pretty much figured that was the case."

She folded her arms in a loose, casual way and continued, her voice full of feeling. "You wanted to get away from that lousy ex-husband of yours, and honestly? You made the absolute right choice by walking away."

"A whole lot of these Lunas out there are way too scared and stuck to ever leave bad marriages behind. They’d rather just keep suffering through everything in total silence instead of finding the courage to start their lives over fresh and better. But you weren’t like that at all, you actually did something about it."
