Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 721

Chapter 721: Chapter 721 - Are you going to reject me too?

"Alpha Jasper, please accept my rejection."

Jasmine’s voice cracked on the final word, splintering into the cold air between them like broken glass.

She knelt on the hard ground, her knees pressing into the dirt, one hand clutched desperately over her chest as if she could physically tear out the agony living inside her.

It clawed through her heart, through her soul, savage and unending. Every breath felt like swallowing shattered pieces of herself. Every heartbeat punished her for the crime of rejecting her fated mate.

Jasper went rigid. His hands trembled at his sides, fingers curling and uncurling as he fought the overwhelming urge to reach for her, to pull her into his arms and promise her everything would be alright.

He had waited so long for this moment. A time when the moon goddess would bless him with a fated mate after finding out that Seraphine was already married.

After the love and lust bond, he never expected to face something like this and now, his hopes scattered into the wind. The rejection cut deeper than any blade, carved wounds no healing could ever touch.

But her suffering cut deeper still. He could not bear it. He could not bear watching her break apart because of him, watching her crumble into pieces he could not put back together.

He hoped that she doesn’t regret this one day. "I, Jasper Spencer, accept your rejection."

The words scraped out of him like broken glass pulled from a wound. A sharp pain lanced through his chest, fierce and blinding, then faded as the bond between them snapped.

The thread dissolved into the crimson night, gone as if it had never existed, leaving nothing but hollow silence in its wake.

Jasmine pushed herself to her feet. Her breath came rough and uneven, her chest heaving with the effort.

Her body trembled with the aftermath, quaking like a leaf in a storm, but she lifted her chin and forced her spine straight. She wiped her face with the back of her hand, smearing tears across her cheek.

"Thank you. Please excuse me."

She walked away without looking back. Each step was unsteady, but she did not falter.

Kael stared after her, disbelief twisting his features into something raw and anguished. What exactly did Jasmine want? This was not about staying with the Grimroot pack. That much was obvious.

Thanks to Alpha Jasper, the Silver Moon Pack had thrived, flourishing under his leadership. Because of Liah, their connection to Grimroot had never been stronger, their alliance built on trust and mutual respect.

Kael had always wanted to be chosen. Not a spare. Not a backup. Not second best. Now Jasmine had chosen him. She had rejected an Alpha for him, sacrificed everything for him. And he could not reject his fated mate for her.

That truth crushed him, buried him beneath shame and regret until he could barely breathe, until the weight of it pressed down on his chest like a boulder he could not move.

His love felt weak compared to hers. Thin, cowardly, and if Cleopatra became the Alpha of the Western Tribe, he would have to leave the Grimroot pack.

The thought of walking away from everything he knew, from the only home he had ever loved, from the people who had raised him and shaped him, opened a wound inside him that would never fully close.

Kael turned to follow Jasmine, but Voren blocked him. "Don’t."
