Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Chapter 317 – This ends now

Marigold thought about it for a second, then nodded. "She has long silver hair. But nobody sees her face."

Voren’s frown deepened. Nobody sees her face? He was about to ask more when Marigold stretched under the blanket and let out a long, dramatic yawn. "Daddy, I’m tired."

He knew that tone. Once she decided the conversation was done, it was done. No amount of questions, bribes, or promises would change that.

Sure enough, she rolled onto her side, closed her eyes, and within minutes her breathing had settled into that peaceful rhythm, like she hadn’t just dropped several bombshells that were gonna keep him up all night.

Voren watched her sleep for a while, the room feeling strangely quiet around him. Eventually he stood up and stepped away from the bed, his mind already racing. There was only one person he could think to call right now.

He pulled out his phone and dialed Corvine’s number. It rang once, twice, three times with no answer. He was about to hang up when the line finally clicked.

"Alpha Voren..." Corvine’s voice came through groggy, like he’d been yanked out of the deepest sleep possible. A yawn followed, then quick concern. "Did something happen to Sera?"

Voren opened his mouth to respond, but the words never made it out. His eyes locked onto the doorway instead. Every muscle in his body went tight. Someone was standing there—a shadowy figure, completely silent, just watching.

The sight triggered every Alpha instinct he had. Voren’s face hardened as he kept his gaze fixed on the dark silhouette. "Hold on," he said, his voice low, controlled, and dangerously calm.

Voren lowered the phone from his ear and fixed a cold, steady stare in that direction.

"Jasmine."

His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried that natural authority that made people straighten up without even thinking about it.

A few seconds ticked by before the door pushed open wider, revealing Jasmine fully under the hallway light. Her long red hair was all messy from sleep, tumbling wildly around her shoulders, and the thin nightgown she had on left almost nothing to the imagination.

The sight instantly darkened Voren’s expression.

Meanwhile, Corvine’s sleepy voice kept drifting through the phone. "Voren?"

Voren pulled his gaze away from Jasmine just long enough to bring the phone back to his ear. "I need your help."

Corvine let out a dramatic groan, the kind that made it crystal clear just how wiped out he was. "Please don’t tell me you’re calling ’cause you can’t sleep." Another yawn cut through. "I’m barely functioning right now." Yet another yawn followed. "There’s so much work piled up for me tomorrow, especially with Sera not around."

Just hearing Seraphine’s name eased some of the tension in Voren’s shoulders. "She’s fine."

That single statement woke Corvine up instantly. The change was so abrupt that Voren almost chuckled. "What? She’s fine?"

"She’s perfectly fine," Voren confirmed.

Relief poured through Corvine’s voice. "Thank the Goddess."

Corvine’s enthusiasm only grew. "I should tell my parents about it." He laughed. "No, actually, don’t tell me. Tell me in person. I can save all the details for later." Then he kept rambling excitedly. "When I fall in love one day, I’ll be totally prepared." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
