Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 699

Chapter 699: Chapter 699 – Voren, they fell into the trap

Before Voren could respond, a mindlink shot through his consciousness, urgent and sharp.

’We need the crown and necklaces. I’m coming for them.’

It was Oriana. She had been keeping watch on them since they left the event hall, her presence a silent sentinel in the shadows.

’Okay.’

Voren responded without hesitation, his thoughts swift and sure.

"Mom is coming for the crowns and necklaces."

He moved to their secret jewelry safe, his fingers working the hidden mechanism with practiced ease.

The wall slid open, revealing the vault within. He removed the crown carrier first, a sleek black case lined with velvet, and placed both his and Seraphine’s crowns inside. Then came the necklaces, the mythical stones pulsing with soft, otherworldly light as he lifted them from their resting place.

He closed the box just as the doorbell rang.

His footsteps carried him quickly across the room, and he pulled open the door to find his mother standing there, her expression unreadable.

Oriana’s gaze swept over him. The boxer shorts, the bare chest. The flush still coloring his skin. She shook her head, a knowing glint in her eyes. She could already guess what the couple had been up to.

"Mindlink me for some herbs when you’re done." Her voice was dry, almost amused. "I can’t stop your raging pheromones, but I have better ways of keeping both the pups safe."

For the first time in longer than he could remember, Voren felt heat creep up his neck. Embarrassment flickered across his features.

His mother had seen through him like glass, reading every thought, every desire, every desperate hunger he had been trying to suppress.

It had been so hard resisting his wife for almost two weeks. And after getting one chance, one taste, he just wanted more.

When he returned to the bedroom, he found Seraphine waiting, her gaze curious.

"You don’t have to worry about Ravyn." His voice was steady, reassuring. "I know him better than anyone. Our friendship means a lot to him, and he won’t dare ruin it."

He paused, something softening in his expression. "Besides, I have a soft spot for him. His mistake became my gain, and I will forever be grateful to him."

Seraphine wasn’t surprised. She had seen the way Voren spoke about Ravyn, the way old memories flickered in his eyes when he mentioned their childhood together. There was love there. Complicated, bruised, but love nonetheless.

"I should thank him too." Her voice was quiet, thoughtful. "For treating me the way he did. If not, I would never have known you like this."

Back then, she had always seen Voren as some untouchable Alpha. Powerful, distant. A man carved from stone and duty. But now? Now he was hers, and hers alone.

"I shall proceed with the transfer then." She reached for her phone. "When Kylie calls, I’ll explain it to her."

"Yeah, so let me transfer it to you from my account."

Voren reached for his phone, his fingers already moving across the screen. But Seraphine’s hand shot out, stopping him.

"What are you doing?"

"I only thought of using your account. The money must be from me." His voice was serious, his expression earnest. But Seraphine was confused.
