Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Chapter 209 – I didn’t want to do it

A day earlier

Damon had arrived at the meeting point long before they did, his car idling quietly as he leaned back in his seat, his eyes scanning the road with growing impatience, though he tried not to let it show.

Minutes stretched into nearly forty, and just when he was beginning to wonder if something had gone wrong, Corvine’s car finally pulled up, Seraphine stepping out right after.

The moment Damon saw her, every trace of irritation disappeared, replaced by something much brighter, something almost relieved, and whatever questions he might have asked about the delay faded before they could even form.

He quickly helped her into the car, his movements efficient but carrying an excitement he couldn’t quite hide, and soon enough, they were on the road, the long drive back to the pack stretching ahead of them.

Seraphine didn’t waste any time.

"Did you find out who was behind the chemical incident?" she asked, her voice calm but focused, her eyes already searching his expression for answers.

Damon tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly, his gaze fixed on the road. "I don’t have solid proof yet," he admitted, his tone thoughtful, "but I strongly suspect Daisy. Ever since Ravyn took her phone, she’s been looking for any opportunity to get out of the pack."

Seraphine absorbed that quietly before continuing, her mind already moving ahead as she began sharing everything that had happened on her end—the launch, her plans, the steps she had taken, even mentioning Zane and his involvement.

Damon glanced at her briefly, surprise flashing across his face before it softened into admiration. "You’re always ahead of everyone," he said with a faint shake of his head. "So when are you planning to expose her?"

Seraphine leaned back slightly, her expression unreadable, her voice almost indifferent. "Not yet. Ravyn hasn’t suffered enough taking care of Bryan. When he does, I’ll reveal everything."

Damon let out a quiet breath, a small smile tugging at his lips despite the weight of her words. "That kind of truth might destroy him."

Seraphine didn’t hesitate. "And I’d gladly arrange his funeral."

There was no humor in her tone, only certainty.

A brief silence followed before she spoke again, her focus returning to something more pressing. "Did you find anything about that night?"

Damon’s expression dimmed slightly as he shook his head. "I’m sorry. I haven’t had the time to look into it properly."

Seraphine went quiet for a moment, her gaze drifting as she pieced things together, her thoughts aligning one after another until something clicked.

"The entertainment for that night was outsourced," she said slowly, her voice gaining clarity as the idea settled. "Ravyn wanted everyone in the pack to enjoy the moon festival, which means external staff were brought in."

She turned to him, her decision already made. "Let’s go talk to them."

Damon glanced at the time instinctively before shaking his head. "It’s getting late. If we go now, we won’t make it back in time. And what exactly am I supposed to tell Ravyn?"

Seraphine smiled faintly, a quiet, almost mischievous edge slipping into her expression as she turned toward him. "Where’s your phone?"

He hesitated for a second before handing it over, his attention still on the road, though curiosity lingered.

A few seconds later, she placed it back in his hand. "It’s off now," she said simply. "You don’t owe anyone an explanation."

Damon blinked, glancing at the screen before looking back at her. "They’ll still try to reach you."

Seraphine didn’t even hesitate. She pulled out her own phone and showed it to him. "Already off. Problem solved," she said lightly. "Now let’s go."
