Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533: Chapter 533 - I don’t think she cares about titles

Corvine glanced to his left, then to his right, his gaze sweeping through Alpha Killian and Prince Jasper working nearby. Their ears were close enough to catch every word, so he swallowed the things sitting right on the tip of his tongue and kept his voice low.

"Can we talk about this at the hotel instead?"

There was no point talking about something so sensitive right there in the open. They still had too much work left to finish, and the last thing either of them needed was an audience.

Corvine released his hold on the shovel, allowing Voren to have it, and went to pick up another one. When he returned, he looked around once again and went back to clearing the heavy snow beside Voren without another word.

Voren immediately understood why Corvine was holding back. Without saying anything out loud, he slowly made his way toward the parked vehicles while casually motioning for Corvine to follow. Corvine caught the silent gesture and walked over, falling into step beside him.

The two of them worked side by side, scraping thick layers of packed snow from the SUVs in steady, focused movements. As Voren cleared the windshield of the nearest one, his voice finally broke the quiet between them.

"What is it?"

Corvine took a deep breath, his grip tightening around the shovel handle. "I like being your Beta. It doesn’t feel right to create the position of a Co-Alpha to someone who isn’t even a member of the pack."

Voren didn’t answer right away. His expression stayed unreadable as he continued brushing snow from the hood of the vehicle, the silence stretching long enough to make Corvine start to feel uneasy.

Thinking he might have offended him, Corvine searched for a better way to explain himself while still pushing the snow beneath his feet.

Then Voren finally spoke, his tone calm but carrying weight. "Do you even understand what it means to marry the daughter of an Alpha King?"

The mention of Athaliah instantly softened Corvine’s expression. A faint smile appeared on his face despite himself as he let out a quiet sigh.

"King Jaron already warned me. I know he doesn’t like me." His smile returned as Athaliah’s face flashed through his mind. "But Liah is different. I don’t think she cares about titles." There wasn’t a hint of doubt in his voice.

Voren stopped working. He turned and looked Corvine straight in the eyes, the seriousness in his gaze impossible to miss.

"When we get to the pack, I intend to train you, but before that, there’s something you need to understand." He leaned the shovel against the side of the vehicle and folded his arms.

"If you want to defeat your enemy, you have to learn how to think like him. For example... if I were the Alpha King, I’d want exactly what King Jaron wants for Athaliah." He corrected himself with a small smile. "For Esperanza too, but if she found herself in Athaliah’s situation, I’d play it safe."

Corvine slowly began to understand. For the first time he could see the real advantage of the higher position Voren had offered him. All his life he had thought like a Beta.

Even after becoming the CEO of MindNest, his perspective hadn’t changed all that much. But leading an entire pack and learning to think like an Alpha... that was a completely different game.

"How would you play it safe?" His voice carried genuine curiosity now. Voren sighed and went back to clearing snow as he explained.
