Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698: Chapter 698 – I can’t wait to feel the mate bond with you

"Is that Alpha Ravyn? He’s looking so hot."

The whisper came from somewhere in the crowd, a she-wolf’s voice dripping with appreciation. Her eyes traced over Ravyn’s form with the kind of hunger that came from seeing something forbidden and wanting it anyway.

"Indeed." Another voice joined in, equally admiring. "But he already found a replacement for Daisy. Such a shame."

Now that another Alpha was single, of course the she-wolves were hoping for an opportunity. A chance, a shot at catching the eye of a powerful, newly available man. Except—

"Goddess, she isn’t even a pack member." The first she-wolf’s voice rose with disbelief. "Where did he find her?"

"I don’t know, and I don’t care." The second she-wolf waved a dismissive hand. "But don’t you think his new haircut and new style of dressing makes him look a little like the Alpha King?"

"You’re right about that."

The she-wolf’s gaze landed on Daisy. On her lowered head. On the way her shoulders curved inward, as if she was trying to make herself smaller. Invisible.

"Do you think he’ll get back with Daisy? She’s pregnant for him."

"If he would, then he wouldn’t be with another she-wolf." The second she-wolf shook her head, a flicker of something that might have been pity crossing her features. "I think Daisy is paying for what she did to Queen Sera."

She paused, watching Daisy’s small frame tremble.

"Seeing the man you love getting cozy with another woman must be heartbreaking."

As to whether the murmurs reached Ravyn, no one could tell. He wasn’t supposed to stand by Voren in public.

That was the plan. But in a matter of life and death, he had to reconsider. His mind raced, thoughts colliding like storm waves. His palms grew slick with sweat.

Just as he arrived at a decision, his phone beeped.

’Stick to the plan.’

It was from a strange number, but Ravyn knew it was Voren.

His expression hardened, the mask sliding into place. He faced Killian, his features carved from stone.

"You’re right." His voice came out steady, betraying nothing. "King Voren should face the punishment for marrying my ex-wife."

Gasps erupted as Ravyn looked around. "But we’ve been outnumbered."

Killian looked around, his jaw tightened. His hands curled into fists at his sides.

Beta Gray and Riven’s replacement Alphas at their former packs had all joined the abolishment group. Only Brad, Curt, Ravyn, Dante, and two other Alphas remained in addition to Killian. The total number was seven.

Seven against twelve. "We’re outnumbered," Killian spat, the words dripping with bitterness. "It’s okay, Alpha Ravyn." His voice was smooth, but his eyes burned with barely contained fury. "King Voren won the majority. So we have to abolish the Alpha Code."

He paused, his gaze sweeping the hall. Then his lips curled into something that was not quite a smile.

"But the Blood Moon is tomorrow."

The words hung in the air like poison. "If any of us is mated to the Queen, we will not accept a rejection."

The declaration echoed through the hall like a blade held to Voren’s throat.

Voren’s gaze had gone dark. Black as pitch. Bottomless as the void.

Bloodfang, who had been quiet, suddenly growled. ’I’d like to see you try.’

"In that case, Alpha Corvine." Seraphine’s voice rang through the hall, calm and measured. "Will you handle the signing of the abolishing code for me?"

Corvine smiled. It was a dangerous thing, sharp and knowing. "Of course, my queen."

He wasn’t surprised that Seraphine had already prepared the relevant documents. She was always three steps ahead. Even Voren was surprised, but he could not append his signature. He was no longer an Alpha.

Corvine passed the paper around.
