Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 500 - He carries himself like a true Alpha

Athaliah could still remember every single exhausting second she had poured into that dress, the endless days and those brutal sleepless nights where she barely stepped foot outside her studio.

The client had been breathing down her neck with one impossible deadline after another, demanding absolute perfection, and she had pushed herself to the limit until it was finally done.

Even thinking about it now made her shoulders throb with that old familiar ache.

Voren stared at the gown with genuine confusion written all across his face, his brows pulling together as he glanced back and forth between the dress and Athaliah.

"This is Elodie’s design."

The second Elodie’s name slipped out, everything suddenly clicked into place in Athaliah’s head. Her eyes went wide, and she let out a soft groan while rubbing her forehead with her fingertips.

"That explains absolutely everything." A helpless little laugh bubbled out of her. "Elodie’s my assistant. He told me some anonymous client wanted the dress made but wouldn’t say who it was for. I had no idea that client was you the whole time."

Her smile softened and grew warmer as she turned to look at Seraphine. "Don’t you worry about a thing. I’ll whip up something even more breathtaking for your wedding."

That was the moment Seraphine realized Athaliah still had no clue what had actually happened. It meant Corvine had not spilled their secrets, though he looked genuinely interested in Athaliah.

Seraphine’s respect for him grew. She shot a quick glance at Voren before offering a shy little smile, her cheeks flushing with a faint blush.

"This has to stay between us until Voren makes the big announcement..." Her voice stayed soft. "We actually got married a few days ago."

Athaliah froze completely. Her mouth dropped open, her eyes flooding with pure disbelief for a heartbeat before the most explosive wave of excitement lit up her entire face.

"Oh my Goddess!"

Without wasting another second, she rushed forward and pulled Seraphine into the tightest, warmest hug imaginable, squeezing her like she never wanted to let go.

"I’m so incredibly happy for you!" The words came out in a delighted squeal as she hugged even tighter. "Congratulations! You have no idea how relieved this makes me feel."

Seraphine blinked in total confusion while hugging her back. "Relieved?"
