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.

"Voren already swore Doctor Ash would handle those warriors personally." If Voren gave his word, that was it. There was no going back on it, end of story.

Corvine sat down majestically, radiating that natural confidence that always pulled eyes his way. Before he could even get settled, Athaliah reached over and gave his hand a gentle squeeze.

A huge, genuine smile lit up her face, her eyes sparkling with open admiration. "Beta Corvine, you blew way past my expectations," she said, her voice buzzing with excitement. "How about I buy you a drink tomorrow?"

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."
