Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340: Chapter 340 – If you really want to help

Voren pulled in a slow breath and let it out even slower, his whole body wound tight with the need for answers.

Every inch of him burned to yank at those threads, rip apart every single lie and every rotten name tied to what they’d done to Seraphine.

But he knew the difference between raw wanting and playing it smart—he’d learned that lesson the hard way, through blood and pain. Dig too deep right now and too many people would get dragged into the mess.

Word traveled like wildfire in these circles. Ravyn had eyes and ears everywhere. The second that monster caught even the faintest whisper of what was coming, Seraphine’s whole plan would crumble into dust before it ever got a chance to ignite.

He wasn’t about to let that happen. Not on his watch.

"If you really want to help," Voren told them, his voice dropping low and rock-steady, "then make damn sure everyone gets to the full moon festival. Ravyn’s throwing it."

Humphrey’s jaw locked up hard, a storm of pure fury flashing dark behind his eyes—the kind of bottled-up rage that had been festering for way too long with nowhere left to go.

"That bastard," he growled, shaking his head slow like the words left a foul taste burning on his tongue. "Seraphine’s been way too easy on him. Too damn soft."

"She’s not being soft," Voren shot back, his tone unflinching and sharp. "She’s playing a long game, every move calculated to hit hard. When you get there, you’ll see exactly what she’s got lined up. It’ll all click into place."

He let the weight of that hang heavy in the air for a beat before pushing on. "But that’s not the only reason I showed up today. I came to invite you both to our wedding, face to face."

He kept his voice casual as hell when he dropped that bomb, like it wasn’t the biggest thing he’d ever laid out in the middle of their living room. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"It’s staying secret for now. She doesn’t want anyone knowing about us until she’s ready to blow the lid off Daisy. Once that goes down, everything explodes together."

The whole room slammed into this thick, loaded silence.

Humphrey and Kylie just froze there, staring. Their mouths didn’t fall open, but their faces screamed total overload, the kind where the news slammed into their brains but hadn’t fully sunk in yet.

Of all the heavy shit Voren had unloaded since walking through that door, the wedding news hit them like a freight train. Everything else, Ravyn, the festival, Seraphine’s burning revenge, got completely swallowed up by those two words.

Our wedding.

"Wait a second." Kylie slapped a hand flat against her chest, eyes wide with raw shock. "You’re getting married. To Sera." She repeated it like she needed the words to echo in the air twice before they felt real. "Our Sera."

A fierce warmth flooded through Voren’s chest at that, hitting him deep. Our Sera. The fierce way they claimed her, that protective fire in their voices screamed exactly how much they truly loved her.

This wasn’t fake politeness or surface-level caring. This was bone-deep, the real deal.

"Yeah," he answered simply. "And that’s a big part of why I’m here. I owe you both a real apology for how I came at you last time we crossed paths."

He didn’t break eye contact, holding Humphrey’s gaze first, then Kylie’s, letting them see the sincerity burning there.

"I spent forever choking on anger at her. I bought the lie that she’d just walked away from everything we had, like it was her choice and I was too stubborn to swallow it."

His jaw clenched tight at the memory. But that wasn’t what happened at all. Her memories of me, of us, got ripped away, buried under some twisted spell. She didn’t leave. They made her forget."
