Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 485 – Why are they here?

Seraphine froze the moment the words hit her, echoing loud and heavy through her mind.’Daisy is pregnant.’

Her heart tightened in her chest before she slowly released the breath she’d been holding.

At first, the news shook her to her core. She worried that this pregnancy might give everyone the perfect excuse to let Daisy slip away from the brutal punishment she so richly deserved.

But then another thought crashed in, and a faint, sharp little smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

Daisy wasn’t the only one tied to that pup. She was Ravyn’s greatest weakness now. Without Daisy, he might eventually heal from all the damage she’d caused.

But if she was carrying his child when the full truth about her crimes exploded into the open, Ravyn would be forced to live with the soul-crushing pain of loving someone who had betrayed him in the worst ways imaginable.

That kind of lifelong torment was far more devastating than anything Seraphine could ever dream up herself. The idea sent a dark thrill through her, reminding her so much of what had happened with Vladimir and Olivia.

The middle aged Alpha had been torturing Olivia mercilessly and who knows? Daisy might just suffer the same fate when Ravyn does all the dirty work for Seraphine.

A quiet, satisfied chuckle escaped her lips. "It’s okay," Seraphine said, her voice staying perfectly calm and steady. "But does she know yet?"

Damon glanced down at the medical file still gripped in his hand. "Not yet. I only grabbed the results for her."

"Good," Seraphine replied, her expression turning dead serious. "Don’t tell her anything."

She lowered her voice even further, carefully scanning the area around her. The Moon Festival was going to run all night long, and Daisy’s coronation wasn’t happening until mid-morning.
