Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307: Chapter 307 – Blinded by Jealousy

Voren didn’t even try to bullshit his way out of it. No excuses, no slick defenses.

The guilt on his face was raw and real, sinking deep into him like heavy regret, weighing down every inch of that strong body she knew so well, those broad shoulders slumping just a little under the pressure of his own shame. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"You’re right," he said, voice low and rough, almost breaking on the words. "I’m sorry, Sera. Fuck, I’m so sorry. I was blinded by jealousy, by pain, by all this shit that wasn’t even your fault. I had no clue some spell had messed with your memory. Giving Daisy your blood? I also knew that was something you’d done since you were a kid, so it wasn’t a big deal. But I also, backed it because of the deal Ravyn threw in."

He held her gaze, those dark eyes burning into blue ones like he was trying to pour every ounce of truth straight into her soul, his hand twitching like he wanted to reach out and touch her but was holding himself back.

Seraphine’s heart clenched hard, a mix of hurt and something warmer twisting inside her chest. "What deal?"

Voren exhaled slowly, his breath shaky as he ran a hand through his hair. "Ravyn promised me half the Centenary pack if you gave blood to Daisy. And as an Alpha... ambition’s always been my thing." His voice dropped, thick with regret. "I’m not proud of it, baby. I feel ashamed."

A sharp ache twisted Seraphine’s chest, deep and painful. Ravyn hated her that much? He’d trade away half his pack just to drain her for the woman he loved.

The thought made her stomach turn, but when her eyes locked with Voren’s again, something warmer, deeper flooded through her, heat spreading through her veins like liquid fire.

This man. He’d waited years for her. Even after everything fell apart, he’d stayed. Raised her child without knowing the truth. goddess, the way he looked at her right now, hungry, desperate, full of love and regret, made heat bloom low in her belly, her pulse quickening at the memory of his hands on her skin, the way he activated her pheromones like she was his whole world.

Voren kept talking, unaware of the storm raging inside her, the way her body was already responding to his nearness, his scent filling the room and making her thighs press together instinctively.

"When you came back after the divorce, you weren’t really you anymore. Something in you had gone quiet. I tried so fucking hard to reach you, Sera, but every time I got close, you had this massive wall up. I couldn’t even see over it."

He shook his head, jaw tight, his eyes darkening with the pain of those memories. "I told myself you were gone. That the Sera I fell in love with had shut me out completely. So I stopped pushing on a door that wouldn’t open, even though it killed me inside every single day."

Seraphine stared at him for a long moment, her lips twitching with something between a smile and heartbreak, her eyes tracing the lines of his face, the stubble on his jaw that she suddenly wanted to feel against her neck.

"What would you have done?" she whispered, voice soft but intense, laced with all the emotions she’d been holding back. "If the man you’d loved your whole damn life looked you in the eye one day and said he swapped your baby... and had her killed?"
