Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 468 - I still owe you that drink

Ravyn dropped his gaze, a crushing weight sinking deep into his chest. Even after all this time, he still hadn’t tracked down the bastards behind those chemical explosions.

Every single lead had crumbled into nothing, and with each passing day the failure ate away at him more and more.

It was the same chemical explosion that trapped Seraphine for months in a hospital bed, fighting for her life while Ravyn went ahead to coronate Daisy as Seraphine’s co-Luna.

By the time she pulled through, she unexpectedly signed the divorce papers and ever since, Ravyn had never been the same.

He let out a heavy sigh, but then Voren’s promise floated back into his mind. His tight expression eased just a fraction. "You know what? Forget it," he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck.

Corvine froze completely. His fingers went stiff under hers like his brain had just short-circuited. The sudden warmth of her touch threw him totally off balance.

Athaliah noticed right away, her eyes widened in surprise. "Oh..." Embarrassment flooded her cheeks as she quickly pulled her hand back, taking that sweet spark of warmth with it. "My bad," she laughed, a little awkward but still warm. "But I still owe you that drink."
