Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 657

Chapter 657: Chapter 657 – Something to take care of

Alpha Jasper did not dare to lie when faced with Alpha King Voren Ashkael. The man’s reputation preceded him, and Jasper was not a fool.

"The truth is, our pack has been exposed." Jasper’s voice was low, his hands clasped tightly behind his back. "Not only the Lycans but one of their wizards have been able to enter."

He paused, his jaw tightening. "You and I both know they will only go back to train harder and come back better. They’re patient, methodical, vengeful, and they don’t forget."

"Is that all?" Voren asked, his gaze so piercing it made Jasper uneasy. The Alpha King’s eyes seemed to see through skin and bone, straight to the marrow of truth.

"Alpha King, between us and the Lycans, we are disadvantaged because they know more about us than we do about them." Jasper’s voice carried a note of frustration.

"We have no idea about their population. No idea about what their pack looks like. I only know it’s underground somewhere, and the exits and entrances are protected with black magic." He shook his head. "You shouldn’t blame me for fearing what might come to my pack, right? We’re blind, and they have night vision."

Voren was glad to have had this conversation with Jasper because at least he discovered something very important.

The Lycans built their packs underground, a revelation that explained exactly why no one could locate their whereabouts. They were hidden beneath the earth, invisible to the eyes of their enemies.

"You should have a solution in mind." Voren responded tactfully. If Jasper wanted his help, he wasn’t going to find the solution for him. That would make Jasper dependent on him in the future, and dependency bred weakness.

"Yes, I do." Jasper straightened, his voice gaining confidence. "Since the Lycans blend so well among humans but have also had access to this pack, we need the services of a shaman." He held up his hand, counting off the points.

"We have to increase the security system, and I don’t think our warriors are well equipped for magical battles." He met Voren’s gaze. "The Grimroot pack has two shamans now, so I was thinking you could loan us the services of either of them from time to time."

Voren nodded slowly, his mind already turning over the possibilities. It was in his plan to increase the security around the packs and find ways of uniting them.

With Jasper’s suggestion being in line with his plans, he found no reason to object. He was also glad that Jasper was genuinely thinking about the wellbeing of the pack, not just trying to save his own skin. It meant Voren would not have to worry so much about the Silver Moon Pack.

"I will arrange it," he finally said.

A sigh of relief escaped Jasper, his shoulders sagging with visible tension release. "You are nothing like the rumors say." A small, genuine smile curled the corner of his lips. "In my opinion, though you carry that fearful exterior, you care a lot about the wellbeing of others." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
