Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 491 - Don’t let her humiliate me like this

Ravyn felt his chest squeeze so tight it was like someone had punched him right in the ribs.

Seraphine had just stood there in front of the whole damn pack and straight-up declared that she loved Voren.

The words hit him harder than he expected, echoing in his head and stirring up a storm of confusion and frustration.

Was this whole thing still part of her twisted game, or had those feelings actually turned real after all the time she’d spent working right beside him?

He couldn’t wrap his head around why it was eating at him so badly, like a deep, gnawing ache that wouldn’t let go.

At first, he’d been rock-solid sure that Voren would never fall for her tricks—he trusted his friend completely.

But then Seraphine had backed Voren into a corner and forced that kiss, and now she was straight-up threatening his business to keep his mouth shut.

The more Ravyn turned it over in his mind, the worse the uneasy feeling got, twisting and growing until it felt like it was choking him.

What if she’d gotten way too much control over Voren? What if all those business ties had finally worn him down and he couldn’t push her away anymore?

The bitter thought settled heavy in his chest, making his stomach churn with disgust and worry.
