Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 497 - I want to announce our marriage

Seraphine wrinkled her nose as the thick, heavy stench of alcohol drifted through the air around the bonfire, making her stomach twist and churn uncomfortably.

Her pregnancy hormones had cranked up her sense of smell to an insane level, and now every single cup of liquor floating around felt like it was shoved right under her nose.

She pressed her lips together tight, fighting back another strong wave of nausea that threatened to hit her.

Voren noticed her discomfort right away. He quickly fired off a message to Kael through mindlink before looking around for a favorable place to speak with Ravyn.’Get Sera to the car. You and Corvine.’

Kael replied to the mindlink.’Noted,’ and gave Corvine a nudge. "Let’s get Sera out of here."

Corvine nodded and started heading toward Seraphine, but before he could reach her, Prince Jasper strolled over with that smooth, easy smile of his.

"Luna Sera," he said warmly, his kind eyes settling on her. "Can we talk?"

A few feet away, Voren had just started walking with Ravyn when he heard that familiar voice. He stopped dead in his tracks, his shoulders tensing up as his gaze snapped right back toward Seraphine.

She gave Prince Jasper a small, apologetic smile. "Not tonight. I’m completely exhausted and I really need some sleep."

Pure relief washed over Voren’s face when Prince Jasper didn’t force it. "Tomorrow, then," Prince Jasper replied gently, his eyes lingering on her for another moment before he stepped aside.

Seraphine dipped her head in thanks, but she didn’t say anything else. Just as she turned to leave, though, something started nagging at her.
