Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425: Chapter 425 – A different kind of sacrifice

Everyone on the deck became even more attentive, leaning in slightly.

"The night I gave birth..." Her expression grew distant, lost in the memory. "I immediately knew something was wrong." She looked at Seraphine with deep emotion. "I noticed my baby had been switched."

Gasps spread across the deck like wildfire.

"I knew because of the moon mark." Her voice remained steady. "My daughter carried it. When I looked inside the crib, I found another baby." She smiled sadly. "A little girl who wasn’t mine."

Her eyes filled with warmth. "But she still needed someone to love her, so I named her Daisy. That’s the name I always wanted to give my Daughter because I love the Daisy flower."

Kylie frowned deeply, confusion covering her face. "I was there. I never left for long." She looked completely lost. "So how did Noelle manage to switch the babies?"

Madison slowly shook her head. "I honestly don’t know. I’ve wondered about that for years." She looked down briefly. "But something inside me kept telling me the truth. My daughter wasn’t safe with me." She glanced toward Seraphine. "She had inherited the bright blue eyes. The very eyes those creatures had been hunting for."

Madison’s voice became softer, full of pain and love. "Then... Noelle came to me two years later." Everyone watched her carefully. "She made me an offer." Madison smiled bitterly.

"She asked me to become her child’s nanny. She also told me to reduce Daisy’s age by one year. I never understood why." She sighed quietly. "But the moment I entered the pack house, I knew." Her voice became certain. "She was the one who had switched the babies."

Kylie stared at her in disbelief. "You should’ve told me." Her voice carried both hurt and frustration. "I would’ve made things right."

Madison gently shook her head. "I know you would’ve." A grateful smile appeared on her face. "You loved her, and she was growing up as the Beta’s daughter. That life was much closer to what she was born into." She looked proudly at Seraphine. "She was raised with honor, with discipline, and leadership, just as the granddaughter of an Alpha should be."

Madison’s smile slowly disappeared. "There were many days when Noelle insulted her. Many days when her words cut deep." She laughed softly without any real joy.

"But I accepted every insult, swallowed every bit of pain she inflicted on my daughter." Her eyes became wet with tears again. "Because every harsh word reminded me of one thing." She looked at Seraphine with nothing but pure, unbreakable love. "My daughter was safer pretending to be a Beta’s child, than living as the disguised daughter of an omega."

No one could argue with her heartbreaking reasoning. The sacrifices she had made were truly unimaginable.

Voren had remained silent throughout the entire explanation, but one question still bothered him deeply. He looked directly at Madison. "If you knew all of this..." His voice was calm but filled with genuine curiosity. "Then why did you continue allowing Sera to give her blood to Daisy?"

Everyone immediately turned toward Madison, even Kylie and Humphrey. Every single person on the deck desperately wanted to hear her answer.

Madison looked around at everyone gathered on the deck, her gaze finally settling on Seraphine with deep emotion. A sad, tired smile appeared on her face.

"Honestly... any mother in my position would’ve made the same choice." Her voice carried years of heavy guilt and regret. "I only agreed because the doctor assured me that donating blood wouldn’t hurt you."
