Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 492 - A dare is a dare

Ravyn clenched his jaw so hard it ached and slowly pushed himself up from the stool, his whole-body tense with frustration.

Tomorrow was supposed to be their coronation day, the moment everything finally came together.

Yet here Seraphine stood, cool as ice, demanding that Daisy strip right there in front of the entire pack and kiss the damn ground like some kind of public humiliation.

Yeah, Daisy had kicked off the bet. She’d been the one tossing out those wild challenges left and right. But wasn’t Seraphine supposed to be the kind one deep down?

Wasn’t she the same girl who used to donate her own blood without hesitation just to keep Daisy alive?

The memory hit Ravyn like a punch to the gut as he stared at her, his eyes burning with a messy storm of frustration, disbelief, and leftover hurt.

"Sera..." His voice came out low and rough, almost pleading as it carried across the gathering. "You cared about Daisy once. The two of you were actually close back then. You even gave your blood to save her life numerous times."

He swallowed hard, the words tasting bitter. "I know I hurt you bad when I chose her over you. If you still hate anyone, let it be me. Don’t take it out on her like this. We can figure something out together, please."

The gentle tone he used to save only for Daisy echoed through the air, full of raw emotion.

But instead of softening Seraphine’s heart, every single word felt like another knife twisting deeper into her chest, ripping open old wounds and pouring salt on them until the pain burned hotter than ever.
