Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 489 - You are a terrible kisser

The whole gathering went dead silent, the only sound left being the crackling of the bonfire while every single pair of eyes locked onto Voren and Seraphine whose faces were too close together.

The sight hit like a slap across the face. Voren’s heart warmed, but he kept his expression completely blank. They had to play this perfectly.

One wrong move and people would start digging, and by tomorrow morning every secret they’d been guarding would explode out into the open.

For Voren, it would be okay but for Sera, it wouldn’t be. Just one more night. That was all they had to survive.

His icy gaze landed on Seraphine, but underneath it burned the kind of warmth that only she ever got to see.

"Luna Sera," he said, his lips curling with just enough fake annoyance to sell it. "Isn’t it a little embarrassing to drag me into one of your ridiculous games?"

A playful grin lit up her whole face as she grabbed the front of his shirt tighter, and yanked him even closer, her eyes sparkling with pure mischief.

"Oh come on, Alpha Voren," she teased, her voice light and flirty. "The full moon’s only a few hours away. Everyone’s allowed to lose their mind a little tonight." She tilted her head, flashing that teasing smile that always wrecked him. "Think about it. One million dollars for just a..."

Before anyone could even process what was happening, she closed the distance and slammed her lips against his.

For one wild second, Voren completely forgot about the audience watching them. She was impossible to resist. His hand slid to the back of her head, fingers sinking gently into her soft hair as he kissed her back hard, pulling her body flush against his like he never wanted to let go. The entire world around them just melted away.

A sharp gasp ripped through the silence.

"He... he kissed her," Luna Joyce whispered, staring in total disbelief as all the color drained from her face.
