Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Chapter 142 – You really have no dignity

’You! I hate you.’

The words flashed across the screen with a kind of raw aggression that almost felt physical, like they had been thrown straight at her face instead of typed out behind a keyboard.

Seraphine didn’t even flinch. Her fingers hovered for only a second before she responded, her tone cool, almost detached in contrast to the emotion pouring out of him.

’I’d be surprised if you didn’t. But I’d love to know why.’

There was a pause this time. Not long, but long enough to feel intentional, like he was choosing his words carefully, or maybe just letting his anger build before releasing it all at once.

Then his reply came.

’I always had my eyes on you when I lived at the pack. I tried to get your attention a few times when we were teenagers, but all you ever talked about was Ravyn. I’m so glad he divorced you and turned you into a joke. And I heard from Daisy that they killed your child. Does it hurt?’

The air in the room changed instantly.

Corvine felt it before he even looked at her, that sharp spike of tension that filled the space like something alive. When he turned, he saw it clearly. A tear slipping down Seraphine’s cheek, silent and uninvited, betraying the one place she was still vulnerable.

"Sera, let it go," he said quietly, his voice careful, like he didn’t want to push her too far in either direction.

Her eyes stayed on the screen, unblinking, locked in. "No," she said, her voice low but steady, carrying a weight that made it clear she wasn’t backing down. "I’ve come too far."

She was about to type again when another message started forming on the screen.

’I don’t even like Daisy, but compared to you, she’s nothing. You’re the worst thing that ever happened to any she-wolf. Loving a man for seven years while he kept sleeping with your former nanny’s daughter. That’s just pathetic. You really have no dignity.’

For a split second, something inside her cracked.

Not loudly, not completely, but enough to feel it. Enough for the words to sting, to scrape against old wounds that hadn’t fully healed.

But instead of reacting the way he expected, instead of lashing out or breaking down, Seraphine went still in a different way. Her breathing slowed, her expression smoothing out as she forced her emotions back under control, locking them away where they couldn’t interfere.

Then she read the message again.

And this time, she wasn’t reading it as an insult. She was reading it like a pattern.

Her eyes sharpened slightly as something clicked into place.

Her fingers moved again.

’You don’t just hate me,’ she typed. ’You hate women. All of them. Why?’

The response came quicker than before, almost eager.

’You’re smarter than the rest of them, I’ll give you that. Humans, she-wolves... doesn’t matter, I’ve destroyed all of them. So I’ll tell you. My mother was just like you. A selfish woman who left me and my dad to go marry some weak human. My dad had to do everything on his own after that, juggling work and raising me. He never moved on because he loved her too much. Just like I never moved on after you rejected me.’
