Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Chapter 272 – The silence after the kiss

Seraphine froze completely, her eyes flying wide open as Voren claimed her lips like a man who’d gone without water for days.

The kiss came in hot and deep, hungry in a way that caught her totally off guard.

Strange sparks shot through her whole body, but instead of pushing him back, her mouth started moving with his on its own.

She matched every slow pull and press until she felt him growing hard against her thigh, pressing right there through their clothes.

"Voren," she gasped, finally yanking her face away. Her cheeks burned like someone had slapped them before she rolled sideways across the mattress, the cool sheets hitting her overheated skin and making her shiver.

His body still gave off all that warmth right next to her, but her brain kept screaming how wrong this whole thing was. Only one person deserved the blame here.

’Marsha, what the hell did you just do?’ she chastised her wolf, wondering how she was going to face Voren after this. The fact that she enjoyed it was what heightened her embarrassment and this time, her naughty wolf refused to save her from herself.

’Don’t act like you didn’t enjoy every second of it. You both needed that,’ Marsha shot back, sounding way too smug.

Seraphine stayed quiet, words failing her. She lay there staring at the ceiling, heart still hammering, already dreading the next time she’d have to look Voren in the eyes.

How was she supposed to act normal around him after this? There was apparently no relationship between them except business and she was already crossing lines because of her wolf.

Maybe things would be better in the human world where her wolf would be asleep and not cause her this kind of trouble anymore.

She risked a quick sideways glance. Voren’s face looked far away, eyebrows drawn together while his eyes rolled to the back like he was communicating with his own wolf. At least she wasn’t the only one whose head had gone fuzzy.

’For the first time ever, Marsha, I’m actually glad you’re about to go quiet for a long stretch. You cause way too much trouble when you’re active, and I swear I’m never getting close to any pack territory again after this mess.’

If her wolf hadn’t pushed so hard, she never would’ve let it get that far. This wasn’t the kind of thing she could just laugh off tomorrow. It would stick with her, and her greatest fear was it repeating itself.

That was how forbidden relationships always kickstart.

’They like us too, so what if you aren’t mates? You wouldn’t be the first couple to cross that line,’ Marsha added, completely unbothered.

Seraphine shook her head slowly. Her wolf ran on pure gut feelings and instincts. The human part of her saw every single problem that could explode from this—feelings, complications, guilt, all lined up and waiting.

She already had her heart broken by Ravyn and his best friend was a no, no. She reached over and grabbed her phone from the nightstand. Three missed calls from Corvine stared back at her. She called him right back.

"Sera, damn, you had me stressing out here," Corvine’s voice came through, full of relief and worry mixed together. "I’m right around the corner from that hotel you told me about."
