Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 656

Chapter 656: Chapter 656 – Why don’t you kill him yourself?

Corvine looked at where Jaron had been sitting before, but the man was no longer there. The chair was empty, the cushion still bearing the indent of his weight.

Naturally, he approached Luna Pandora, his expression carefully neutral, his voice warm. "Mom, have you seen Dad?"

He made it sound like family, like a son inquiring after his father, so the woman would not suspect his intentions. Pandora smiled, her heart warmed at the sound of Corvine calling her mom.

They were now in-laws, bound by marriage and blood, and she was glad things had changed to expectation. Liah and Corvine had given up everything, the crowns, the titles, the power, but they didn’t walk away with nothing.

They were going to be the Alpha and Luna of the Grimroot pack, the biggest, most powerful, and richest among the werewolf communities. The irony was not lost on her.

"Oh, he received a call and stepped out." Pandora replied, her smile remaining, oblivious to the storm brewing beneath the surface.

Corvine quickly went to check, his footsteps brisk and purposeful. But just as expected, Jaron was nowhere to be seen. The corridors were empty, the shadows long.

By the time he returned, the seating arrangements had been changed and refreshments were ongoing. The atmosphere had drifted from tense ceremony to relaxed celebration.

Voren and Sera were already having separate meetings with the Alphas and Lunas at different round tables over dinner. The clink of cutlery and the murmur of conversation filled the hall.

Corvine walked around, his expression casual, and whispered to Voren, his voice low. "His wife said he stepped out to take a call, but there’s no sign of him anywhere."

Voren nodded, as if expecting the news. His expression didn’t flicker, didn’t betray the cold fury building in his chest. Corvine went to his seat beside Liah, his hand finding hers under the table.

"Excuse me." Voren said, and texted someone on his phone. His fingers moved quickly across the screen. ’Keep an eye around for Alpha Jaron. Update me on his every move.’

The response came within seconds. ’King Jaron, I saw him enter a black SUV with some strange-looking men.’

Voren’s teeth gritted together, his jaw tightening with barely controlled anger. He texted back, his words sharp and commanding. ’He’s no longer the Alpha King. That title is mine now. Keep an eye on him. I want to know his every move.’

He was afraid Jaron would use the title to create more messes, since the news of the coronation hadn’t reached the outlanders.
