Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 628

Chapter 628: Chapter 628 - Your love is too cheap

Jasmine tugged loose strands of hair behind her ears, her fingers trembling slightly. She was unwilling to let this opportunity slip away, unwilling to watch another man walk out of her life without a fight. "Kael, you never even looked at me." Her voice was small, almost accusatory.

"You were brought for the Alpha." Kael’s voice was honest, stripped of pretense. "So I could only admire you from afar." He met her gaze briefly before looking away. "Who am I to look at the woman the Luna was grooming for her son? Even if he didn’t want you, I still did not have the right."

His words only made Jasmine guiltier. Due to respect, Kael had hidden his feelings, had kept his distance, had watched her from the shadows without ever making his interest known.

But Jasmine could not hold back even when it was clear that Corvine was interested in someone else. She had thrown herself at him, had humiliated herself, had crossed boundaries that should never have been crossed.

The shame was too much for her to bear. "I’m sorry." Her voice cracked. "I know I messed up, but can we start over?" She desperately clung to Kael’s hand, her fingers wrapping around his wrist. But he pulled it away gently, his touch careful not to hurt her.

There was no anger in his tone, only a weary resignation. "Jasmine, let’s be patient." His voice was soft, soothing. "What if we get mated to different she-wolves during the Blood Moon? It’s just a few weeks away. We shouldn’t make promises we might not be able to keep."

"But what if I don’t want to be mated to somebody else?" she asked desperately, her eyes pleading.

Kael pinched the bridge of his nose, a gesture of frustration he usually reserved for the most trying situations. "I’m finding it hard to understand you." He shook his head slowly. "You are still in love with Co-Alpha, and yet you won’t let me go."

Jasmine pursed her lips, the truth of his words stinging. But someway somehow, she felt the need to confess everything before Kael heard it from somewhere else. It was just as he’d heard her speaking to the other she-wolves and given up on her. She couldn’t let that happen again.

Without thinking, she confessed everything—from the bathroom to the apologies, from her desperate attempts to gain Corvine’s attention to her humiliating rejection.

She watched as Kael stared at her like he didn’t know her at all, his expression fluctuating from confusion to disbelief to something that looked almost like disappointment.

His heart ached upon learning all she’d done to gain Corvine’s attention. The lengths she had gone to the invasion of privacy, the nakedness, the desperation.

It painted a picture of a woman he didn’t recognize. "Jasmine, I need to get some sleep before midnight." His voice was flat, tired. "Let’s talk about it tomorrow."

Jasmine allowed her tears to fall, hot and uncontrollable, as she grabbed his hands again. "Tell me, do you hate me?" Her voice was barely a whisper.

Kael shook his head, his expression softening slightly. "Why should I hate you?" A sigh escaped him. "I would not have known if you hadn’t told me. You chose to be honest, and that counts for something."

"So, have you grown out of love for me?" She asked again, her voice desperate.
