Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 472 - Keep that bitch out of my way

"Daisy!" The second Daisy hit the floor, Ravyn rushed to her side without a second thought. Worry flooded his face as he dropped to one knee and carefully reached for her shoulders. "Daisy... Daisy!"

Around them, whispers rippled through the gym. Some guests looked genuinely concerned while others exchanged doubtful glances. Seraphine quietly watched the whole scene play out, then slowly shook her head. A faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

Athaliah caught that tiny reaction right away. She knew Seraphine was a doctor. If anyone could tell whether Daisy had actually fainted, it was her. Athaliah leaned in a little closer. "Is she faking it?" she whispered.

Seraphine gave the smallest nod, and that was all Athaliah needed. A mischievous smile slowly spread across her face as a perfect idea formed in her mind.

She folded her arms and looked straight at Ravyn. "Alpha Ravyn." Her voice instantly pulled everyone’s attention back to her. "You walked away before receiving my forgiveness. So I’ll assume you’ve decided to cut ties with the Silver Moon Pack."

Ravyn froze. His hands stopped halfway as he held Daisy. For the first time that night, real panic flashed across his face, not because of Daisy, but because of Athaliah’s words.

Seraphine nearly laughed out loud. She had to bite the inside of her cheek hard to stop herself. Instead, she lowered her eyes and hid her smile.

It felt surprisingly refreshing not to be the one putting Ravyn in an impossible position for once. Athaliah was handling it beautifully all on her own.

Ravyn slowly looked up. "Princess..." His voice carried clear frustration. "Your fellow woman just fainted." He gestured toward Daisy. "I think this calls for a little empathy."

Athaliah didn’t even blink. "I would," she answered immediately. "If she were being honest." Her eyes flicked to Daisy for only a second before returning to Ravyn. "From where I’m standing... she looks like she’s pretending."

A ripple of doubt spread through the crowd. People quietly glanced at Daisy again, and some were already starting to question the dramatic collapse.

"If she’s truly unconscious, then I’ll apologize." She tilted her head slightly. "But if she’s pretending... then you’ve chosen her little performance over the alliance between our
