Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 707

Chapter 707: Chapter 707 – The moon goddess is angry

Music followed the sound of the shaman’s voice as the pack roared to life.

The pack ground of the Grimroot pack was filled for the first time with people from all packs in the werewolf community.

Bodies pressed together, voices rose in laughter and conversation, and the air was thick with the scent of grilled meat, spilled wine, and anticipation.

Festive lanterns hung from the trees like captured stars, their warm glow painting the clearing in shades of gold and amber.

Chairs were arranged in circles, with tables for barbecue and drinks scattered throughout the grounds. All kinds of alcohol and soft drinks were available, and all chefs took charge of the barbecues, working against time to satisfy the excited guests and pack members. The sizzle of meat over open flames mixed with the clink of glasses and the hum of a hundred conversations.

She-wolves were separated from the werewolves, in preparation for a mate hunt. Red blindfolds were given to everyone on arrival as the shaman announced, her voice carrying across the clearing with the weight of ancient authority.

"Before the Blood Moon appears, I shall inform you all to put on the blindfolds. As for now, enjoy the festival. The Blood Moon appears at midnight, and the mate bond shall be restored."

Cheers roared at the Grimroot pack, but Voren and Seraphine had not moved away yet.

For some reason, Voren did not want to keep his pregnant wife out of his sight. His gaze followed her every movement, his body angled toward her like a compass seeking north. The thought of anything happening to her, to their pups, sent ice through his veins.

"V, I’ll form a group with Liah, Jasmine, Nicole, and other she-wolves. Enjoy the festival. We don’t get to have it until seven to ten years. If we are lucky, we get it in four."

"You are right." Voren smiled and kissed her on the lips, the kiss soft and lingering, a promise whispered against her mouth. When he pulled away, his eyes were warm, filled with a love so deep it almost hurt to look at.

"Keep the mindlink open. If you feel any discomfort, let me know, and I’ll have your chef prepare your meat all done. If you don’t like it, don’t eat it. They’ll make whatever you want anyway." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Seraphine laughed, the sound bright and warm, cutting through the cool night air.

"You are behaving like a mother hen, V. I’m the queen, remember?"

"You are right." Voren agreed, his smile widening. "And this is your pack, so no one would dare to offend you."

Only after saying those words did he join Corvine, Jasper, and some other Alphas. His steps were reluctant, his gaze lingering on her for a moment longer before he forced himself to turn away.

Seraphine only allowed those she was comfortable with in her circle, including Vianna, Liah, and Jasper’s childhood friend and sister to Jasper’s beta, Gordon. The women settled into their chairs, their laughter rising above the music, their voices weaving together like a tapestry of friendship and trust.

She used the opportunity to discuss things around her job with Sera. The conversation flowed easily, a rare moment of normalcy in a life that had been anything but normal.

Since Kylie had to be with the pups, she had one of Daisy’s legs chained to the chair she sat on. The chain clinked softly with every movement, a constant reminder of her captivity. If she had to pee, then she’d have to inform either of the shamans to help her.

Still, some she-wolves gathered around Daisy. They used to be very good friends. Their faces were familiar, their smiles sharp with hidden knives.
