Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498: Chapter 498 – Dangerous pup

Earlier that night, when Ravyn had asked to speak with Voren, the two of them had walked far away from the roaring bonfire and the loud, buzzing crowd until they reached a much quieter section of the pack grounds.

The music and laughter faded into a distant hum in the background.

Only then did Voren stop and turn to face him, his voice sounding calm on the surface even though he was barely holding back a storm of anger inside.

Every single time Ravyn looked at Seraphine, it took every ounce of control Voren had not to lose it completely.

Ravyn pressed his lips together tightly before finally speaking. "Voren... I have to be honest with you." He lowered his eyes for a moment. "I wanted to thank you for making Sera delete those videos but now, I wish you hadn’t."

A confused look crossed Voren’s face. "I don’t understand."

The truth was, he hadn’t even wanted to get involved with the videos in the first place. The only reason he had done it was because Seraphine wanted everything handled exactly that way.

Ravyn glanced around carefully to make sure no one was close enough to overhear them. "I mean..." His voice dropped lower. "Those videos would have made it easy for me to call off the coronation."

Voren’s blood instantly boiled over. Now he understood exactly what this was about.

Ravyn still wanted those recordings played in front of everyone so he could derail the whole coronation. That pathetic fantasy was never going to happen.

Even so, Voren kept his face completely unreadable. "So you’d rather have everyone keep those videos?" His eyes locked hard onto Ravyn’s. "You don’t mind humiliating the mother of your son in front of every Alpha and Luna?"

His words grew colder and sharper. "Did you even think about Bryan? Have you thought about how he’ll feel when he grows up knowing the entire pack watched his mother’s worst moments?"

The color slowly drained from Ravyn’s face. His shoulders slumped heavily as he closed his eyes and rubbed a hand over his forehead. Bryan. He had completely forgotten about his own son in all of this.

The guilt slammed into him so hard that it stole every argument right out of his mouth.

When he finally looked back at Voren, his expression was filled with deep, genuine regret. "I’m starting to have second thoughts," he whispered, his voice barely rising above the quiet night air. "Daisy can’t be Luna." He shook his head slowly. "She doesn’t have what it takes."

His eyes filled with desperate hope. "I want to ask Sera to take the position back." His breathing grew uneven. "I can—"

He never got the chance to finish.

Footsteps interrupted him. By the time he looked up, Voren was already walking away, his broad back getting farther away with every determined step.

Voren’s fists stayed clenched tight at his sides. Every muscle in his body screamed at him to turn around, to tell Ravyn the truth—that Seraphine was already his wife, that Ravyn had lost every right to even think about asking for her back, but he couldn’t. Not yet.

Seraphine had spent months preparing her revenge, and it was already past midnight. In just a few hours, every piece of her carefully planned payback would start unfolding.

Voren refused to ruin that moment for her. Walking away was the only thing stopping him from completely exploding.
