Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 647

Chapter 647: Chapter 647 – Voren’s jealousy

After Voren’s arrival, Liah was in tears, her body shaking with silent sobs as she clutched Corvine’s hand. "Corvine, Voren is here, but I think the Lycans are here too." Her voice was barely a whisper, cracking with desperation.

She knew Corvine could not hear her, but she could only spurt her fears and desperation into the empty air, hoping somehow he would sense her presence.

However, Corvine heard a voice in his subconscious mind, sharp, commanding, utterly unfamiliar. ’Wake up, you dickhead.’

That should be Corvine’s wolf, but the voice sounded different. It was deeper, rougher, carrying an edge of impatience. ’Mad, what happened to your voice?’ Corvine asked, confusion clouding his thoughts.

The wolf sneered, a sound that was almost amused. ’Maddock didn’t want to let go. But after what you’ve been through, and knowing the Lycans are after you, he finally let me in. He refused to say goodbye.’

There was a pause, heavy with unspoken emotion. ’He loved you so much, Corvine. But he was no longer strong enough to protect you.’

’Wait.’ Corvine’s mind reeled. ’You are my new wolf? Weren’t you supposed to come after my coronation?’

’No, Corvine.’ The voice was patient, explaining. ’You were born an Alpha. But when you were coronated as Beta, Maddock was given to you, and I was pushed to the side. He loved you so much, but his strength was never meant to carry an Alpha’s burden.’ He paused again before revealing, ’My name is Sword.’

At the mention of the name, Corvine did not doubt it. He’d loved to fight with a sword more than physical fights. Ravyn had trained him with fist fights, but Voren was the one who perfected it, the one who taught him the art of combat in its purest form.

Corvine remembered encountering a wolf called Sword countless times in his dreams, but he had never taken it seriously. Now, the memory rushed back with startling clarity.

’I’ll miss Maddock.’ Corvine’s voice was heavy with grief. ’But I hope we get along too.’

A warm chuckle echoed in his mind. ’Well, I already healed you, so what do you think?’ Sword’s voice was teasing. ’You better open your eyes before the beautiful lady by your bed dies from tears.’

Only then did Corvine open his eyes. Liah’s stunned face swam into focus, her eyes red-rimmed, her cheeks wet with tears. "Cory," she breathed, and threw herself over him, her arms wrapping around his neck as she littered kisses all over his face.

Corvine loved the sound of her calling him Cory. A smile spread across his face despite everything. "Liah, what happened?"

Liah froze, the reality of the situation crashing back. "Voren and Sera are here." Her voice was urgent, panicked. "But so are the Lycans."

Corvine moved without hesitation. He quickly removed the tubes connected to him, tearing them off with impatience, and ripped off the bandage. Liah’s eyes widened as she realized he had healed completely.

The wound that had been gaping and bloody was now nothing but smooth, unblemished skin.

"How did it happen?" Liah’s voice was incredulous. "You were badly injured. I saw the wound. It was—"

Corvine smiled and embraced her briefly, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I have a new wolf." His voice was calm, steady. "But let me check the door first."

He wasn’t surprised that Voren was equally surprised to see him standing, his expression a mixture of shock and relief. Corvine quickly embraced him, his grip firm and warm. "Voren, you shouldn’t have come." Corvine’s voice was apologetic. "I’m fine. See? Good as new."
