Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576: Chapter 576 - This is the last time I’m being lenient with you

Voren had already weighed the pros and cons in his own mind. The Moon Goddess had still been working behind the scenes even after their ancestors rejected her by turning their backs on the mate bond.

Her anger, though, sat like lava under the surface, boiling with a danger nobody could predict.

No one knew whether the Blood Moon Festival would bring them mercy and favor or unleash her full wrath instead.

Word was the Moon Goddess would make a physical appearance during the festival, and whatever shape or form she took would tell them everything about her plans, whether she had come looking for revenge or ready to show mercy.

Voren could only hope she chose mercy, and not just because of the mate bond. Too many questions still hung over the Lycans, and they needed answers before anything else.

Outside the mansion the morning air stayed cool against their skin while Seraphine faced Ravyn one last time. Her voice came out hard and steady, the kind of tone that left no room for argument.

"Ravyn, there are ways around this, and if I have to kill you if it so happens that I am bonded to you, then I will grant your wish to run you over the next time you appear in front of my house. This is the last time I’m being lenient with you."

She spoke like the new generation Luna the packs feared to have. Yes, it wasn’t as if Seraphine hadn’t killed before.

Just like other warriors, she had sunk her claws through enemies during wars and she wasn’t joking if she said she was going to kill him.

Voren might not let her though, but she knew he would grant her wish to do it for her. The steel in her voice made Ravyn shiver where he stood.

There was something in the way she carried herself now that made it impossible to mistake her for the woman he had once believed he understood.

Seraphine was not so simple, and Ravyn had found out far too late exactly who the woman he had been married to for seven years truly was. By the time she reached her car, he had already moved out of the way, shoulders slumped, dirt still clinging to his clothes.

Esperanza had wrapped herself tightly around Jasmine when Seraphine stepped into the car, but Seraphine was not surprised. For a child who knew that her father wanted her dead as a baby, she would always be afraid of him.

The sight of her made Seraphine’s heart ache. It was too much for Espe to be burdened by those visions.

"Espe, no one would harm you, okay?" Seraphine comforted her, Esperanza nodded as Jasmine explained. "She always behaved like that whenever he came around the pack and will stay clear of him until he leaves, even when he tried to speak nicely to her."

Voren drove alone to his office while Corvine dropped Seraphine, the kids, and Jasmine off at MindNest in the city. The New York streets were already busy, horns and engines mixing with the usual morning rush as they pulled up.

Inside the building the air smelled faintly of coffee and new carpet. Seraphine checked a few reports and approved a couple of requests before Corvine introduced her to the deputy CEO.
