Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 714

Chapter 714: Chapter 714 - Babe, your heart is more than enough for me

Voren’s hands around her tightened a little but he didn’t allow her out of his arms. His grip was iron, unbreakable, a silent promise that he would never let her go.

He was the only one who knew the truth and had kept the secret. The weight of it had been a constant companion, a shadow that followed him through every waking moment.

"How?" Ravyn asked, his voice cracking with desperation and dread. But the moon goddess only looked at Voren, her ancient eyes piercing through him like a blade, even as she addressed Ravyn.

"When you allowed bitterness and rage to fill your mind, you allowed your friends to poison her with wolfsbane. A white wolf cannot endure it like the others. That’s her greatest weakness and it was also done in the human world. If it had been done in this realm, she would have lost her wolf forever, but in the human world, she lost her life."

Ravyn’s agony only increased. The words crashed over him like waves, each one dragging him deeper into the abyss of his own guilt. Gray and Riven had told him they were going to teach Seraphine a lesson, and he supported them without asking about the plan.

He had been so consumed by his own bitterness, his own rage, that he had not stopped to think about what they might do.

Though he had no idea they were going to use wolfsbane, it was still his fault because he could have prevented it. He should have asked. He should have stopped them. He should have been the man his parents raised him to be.

"So how am I still here?" Seraphine asked, looking confused as the moon goddess smiled for the first time. The expression was warm, tender, a glimpse of the love she held for her creation.

Instantly, her appearance changed to that of a middle-aged woman, though she still exuded her charm and beauty. The child was gone. The teenager was gone. In their place stood a woman who had seen centuries pass, who had watched her children stumble and fall and rise again.

"Voren saved you, and I’m surprised he never even used it to make you stay by his side."

Seraphine tried to break from Voren’s hold, just to look at his face but he prevented her. His arms tightened, his chest pressing against her back, his lips brushing against her hair. He couldn’t let her see him. Not now. Not when the truth was finally laid bare.

Back then, Voren owed her nothing and had been mean to her. She was suspicious when she smelled him all around her, but he had denied saving her. This man loved her so much, it brought tears to her eyes. The tears spilled over, hot and silent, tracking down her cheeks.

"He cried to me after the antidote of the wolfsbane failed." The moon goddess continued to narrate, her voice soft with memory.

"And that was when I realized that the black wolf was emotionally stronger than I made him to be. I made him not to love, so that only the love wolf would melt his cold heart but he loved without the love wolf."
