Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Chapter 121 – Sera, what exactly are you doing with Voren?

On the other end of the call, Augustine felt a tight knot forming in his throat so suddenly that he had to cough several times before he could speak, the sound rough and strained as though the words he wanted to say had caught somewhere deep inside his chest and refused to move any further.

"Sera, what exactly are you doing with Voren?" he finally asked, his voice carrying a mixture of confusion and concern as he tried to understand why her name had suddenly become tied to the chairman of the Sovereign Circle.

Seraphine leaned back slightly in the chair across from Voren’s desk, her posture relaxed and her expression composed in a way that suggested the chaos surrounding her no longer had the power to disturb her calm.

"Oh, nothing unusual," she replied smoothly, her tone steady and almost casual despite the seriousness of the situation she was about to reveal. "He’s simply acting as a witness to what two of his friends, Alpha Gray Sanders and Riven Thorne, did to me at the Sovereign Circle."

For a moment there was silence on the line as Augustine processed her words, and when he spoke again his voice carried unmistakable curiosity.

"You actually attended the Sovereign Circle meeting?"

A faint smile curled Seraphine’s lips as she remembered the night that had nearly ended her life.

"Yeah, I went there and managed to secure a number of investors for my company," she explained calmly, as if she were describing an ordinary business gathering rather than a meeting filled with some of the most powerful billionaires in the region. "Unfortunately, Gray and Riven decided to poison me with wolfbane before the night was over."

Her voice remained steady as she continued, even though the memory itself was anything but pleasant.

"I still have no idea who actually saved me," she added thoughtfully while her eyes lowered for a brief moment, because the memory of waking up after believing she had already died remained deeply unsettling. "But I’m going to keep searching until I find that person because I owe them my life, and that kind of debt deserves genuine gratitude."

On the other end of the call, Augustine reacted immediately. "Wait a moment," he said sharply as disbelief rushed into his voice. "Are you telling me that someone actually dared to poison you?"

"With wolfbane, August," Seraphine confirmed without hesitation while the seriousness of that word seemed to echo through the conversation. "My wolf was already saying goodbye to me, and I honestly believed that was the end, but somehow I woke up later. The scent of wolfbane was still very strong in my mouth when I regained consciousness, and even though Leon, my human doctor friend insists that he was the one who saved me..."

"That’s impossible," Augustine interrupted firmly before she could finish her sentence, his tone leaving absolutely no room for doubt. "If Leon is human, and humans know nothing about wolfbane or how to counteract its effects so how could he save you?"

His voice gradually settled into the controlled authority of someone who had already begun planning the next steps.

"Because of this case, I will be leaving for the council tomorrow," he continued in a measured tone that reflected the seriousness of the matter. "I will send you the official forms so you can legally lodge the complaint, and once that part is completed, I will personally take care of the investigation."

A small smile spread on Seraphine’s face as she listened but Voren caught something. She had introduced Leon as a human doctor friend when she spoke with Augustine.
