Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529: Chapter 529 - I trusted you more than anyone

Corvine’s life was too important to be ignored but right before she could allow Marsha to take control, she thought of something. Voren would always come up with some form of solution if she asked.

’V... I need to give Marsha control to heal Corvine,’ Seraphine mind linked Voren with quiet urgency. ’Cover for me.’

His answer came without even a second of hesitation. ’Okay.’

There wasn’t a single part of him that wanted to stop her. Corvine wasn’t just another member of the pack, but also family. If there was anyone worth taking a risk for, it was him.

Voren immediately looked up and locked eyes with the people closest to them. "Damon, Kael, Jasmine, Nicole."

Everyone turned toward him at once. "Kneel."

His tone left no room for questions or arguments. "Let’s form a wall around them."

Confused glances passed between them, but no one hesitated. Each of them dropped to one knee exactly as instructed.

Athaliah quickly joined the circle, and together they linked arms, creating a solid barrier around Seraphine and Corvine that shielded them from every curious eye inside the hall.

The rest of the guests could only wonder what was happening behind the human wall they’d just formed.

Inside the circle Seraphine leaned over Corvine and lowered her head. Almost instantly a soft blue glow emerged from her eyes and flowed gently into Corvine’s wounded chest.

The moment the light reached the deep claw marks, thick black venom began oozing from the injury. The poison bubbled to the surface before dripping onto the floor in dark, sticky drops.

Little by little the torn flesh knitted itself back together until the wounds closed completely. The blue light gradually faded, and when the last trace disappeared Seraphine released a quiet breath of pure relief. "It’s okay."

Her voice stayed gentle as she reached for a clean cloth and carefully wiped the black venom from Corvine’s chest before disinfecting the newly healed skin.

Almost immediately Corvine’s eyes flew open. He blinked several times, looking completely disoriented as he tried to make sense of where he was.

"What happened?"

Before anyone could answer, a warm body threw itself against him. Athaliah wrapped both arms around his bare torso, tears pouring down her cheeks without restraint.

"Corvine..."

Her voice cracked under the weight of everything that had just happened. "You’re awake."

She buried her face against his chest and held on tighter. "I thought I’d lost you."

For a brief moment, Corvine froze in place. His eyes lifted to Seraphine, and she simply smiled back at him with relief shining across her face.

Understanding immediately settled between them. Without saying a word Corvine gently placed one hand against Athaliah’s back. The comforting touch made her slowly pull away. She quickly wiped her tears before helping him sit upright.

A few feet away Jasmine quietly lowered her eyes. The sadness on her face was impossible to miss. Whatever feelings she’d once tried to hide had long grown beyond simple friendship.

Watching Athaliah cling to Corvine felt like someone twisting a knife straight through her heart. Alpha Killian noticed everything.

His own disappointment mirrored Jasmine’s, though he wisely kept it hidden behind a carefully blank expression. Neither of them spoke.

The only sound filling the hall came from Daisy’s desperate sobbing as Ravyn threw her harshly to the floor, wrapping her in chains.

She struggled against the restraints, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face as she tried to make herself heard.

"Please, Ravyn..." Her voice shook violently under the force of her panic. "I’ll tell you everything."

She desperately tried to continue even as the words tumbled out in a rush. "It’s her blood." She stared wildly toward Seraphine with wild, frantic eyes. "Sera’s blood weakened me. She’s a—"

"Duct tape." Voren’s furious command cut through the room like a blade. He would be damned before she openly revealed that Seraphine was a white wolf.
