Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 338

Chapter 338: Chapter 338 – Humphrey and Kylie knows something

After leaving Leon’s office, Voren headed straight for his helicopter. The conversation with the doctor had eased some of his worries. At least now DNA tests were in motion, making it a lot harder for anyone to mess with the results.

But his mind wasn’t really on the tests. It kept drifting back to Seraphine, to the memories she’d lost, and to all the years they’d been robbed of.

As the helicopter lifted into the air, Voren stared out the window, replaying every recent revelation. The more the pieces fell into place, the heavier the guilt weighed on him.

For years he had blamed Seraphine. He’d convinced himself she’d abandoned him, that she’d chosen Ravyn willingly, and that she’d simply forgotten everything they once shared.

Now it looked like someone might have stolen those memories from her. The thought made his chest tighten painfully.

By the time the helicopter touched down, his jaw was clenched tight. This visit was long overdue.

Before stepping out, he grabbed the several gift boxes he’d picked up earlier with Corvine’s help. The former Beta of the centenary pack had insisted he couldn’t show up empty-handed, and for once Voren had listened.

The powerful thrum of the helicopter blades echoed across the quiet clearing. Almost immediately, the front door of the modest house swung open, and Humphrey and Kylie stepped outside. The middle-aged couple looked stunned to see who had arrived.

"Alpha Voren?" Humphrey’s brows furrowed, his voice carrying a mix of confusion and caution. "To what do we owe this visit?"

The helicopter slowly powered down behind him, kicking up dust as Voren approached. Humphrey and Kylie had expected many things—arrogance, cold authority, maybe even demands.

What they didn’t expect was for Voren to lower his head in a respectful gesture. The move stunned both of them. For a man of his status, especially after their last encounter, it meant a great deal.

"Alpha Humphrey. Luna Kylie." His voice stayed calm as he glanced toward their home. "Can we talk inside?"

The couple exchanged a quick look. Whatever this was, it was serious. Humphrey stepped aside without another word. "Come in."

They led him into the small but welcoming house, where the familiar scent of baked goods and herbs hung in the air. It reminded Voren of simpler times, before politics, before betrayal, and before all the pain.

Once inside, he carefully set the gifts on a nearby table. Neither Humphrey nor Kylie touched them. Instead, they watched him with open curiosity.

Voren remained standing until Humphrey offered him a seat. The difference between the man in front of them now and the one who had stormed into their home months ago with Ravyn was striking. The pride, the anger, and the cold arrogance had all vanished.

For several long moments, silence filled the room. Then Voren finally spoke. "Alpha Humphrey. Luna Kylie." His gaze dropped. "I came here today to apologize."

The couple exchanged another surprised glance. They genuinely wondered if someone had replaced Voren with a completely different person.

An apology was the last thing they had expected. Voren continued before either of them could respond. "The last time I was here... my behavior was unacceptable."

Regret flashed across his face as memories surfaced, the accusations, the insults, the unfair assumptions.

Most of all, the cruel things he had said to Seraphine, the woman he now knew had been suffering the whole time. "The things I said to Sera were unforgivable. But I’m asking humbly for your forgiveness."

The room fell quiet again. Humphrey and Kylie simply stared at him, at a loss for words. Finally, Kylie spoke. "You should be apologizing to Sera."

Voren nodded right away. "I already have." The sincerity in his voice was impossible to miss. Then his expression grew serious. "There is something I need to ask." Both of them listened carefully. "Were either of you aware that part of Seraphine’s memory had been blocked?"

How much had she suffered while he stood on the other side judging her? How many chances had he wasted? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
