Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 460 - Gossip

"Daisy, wait up!" Ravyn finally caught up to her after run off from the slap Athaliah gave her, his chest heaving as he stopped beside her.

Concern was written all over his face. He hadn’t agreed at all with the way Princess Athaliah had spoken to Daisy, but then again, Athaliah didn’t know the full story. She’d judged everything based only on what she’d heard.

Daisy stopped walking and turned around. Her eyes were already brimming with tears that she was desperately trying to hold back. "Everyone saw that, Rav," she said, her voice trembling no matter how hard she fought to stay composed. "My reputation just got dragged through the mud even worse than before."

She let out a bitter, broken laugh that twisted the knife deeper. "First, everyone blamed me for the pack members getting their salaries cut. Then Seraphine made me run laps in front of the whole crowd like some kind of public punishment."

The humiliation still burned hot in her chest. "And now Princess Athaliah insulted me right there in front of all those important people."

Her fingers tightened into fists at her sides. "No matter where I go, I’m always the punchline, the joke that everyone laughs at behind my back."

Ravyn’s heart ached fiercely at the sight of her like this. He gently rested a hand on her shoulder, trying to offer whatever comfort he could.

"Don’t think like that, babe. Everything’s gonna change after the coronation." He gave her an encouraging smile full of hope. "Once you’re officially crowned Luna, Princess Athaliah will regret every single word she said. She’ll probably be the one trying to become your best friend, kissing up to you."

Confidence shone bright in his eyes as he painted that future for her. Daisy managed a weak, shaky smile in return. She was just about to answer when two familiar figures approached them. Queen Pandora walked over with her usual elegant grace, while Jasper trailed a few steps behind her.

"Alpha Ravyn," she said, inclining her head slightly with that regal poise. "I’d like to apologize on my daughter’s
