Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 603: Chapter 603 – she’s worth fighting for, worth everything.

Voren smirked, his satisfaction evident in the curve of his lips. "You already know the answer to that. Sera would never let anyone who goes against her loved ones off the hook."

His voice carried a note of pride as he glanced towards the bed in deep admiration for the woman he’d married. It took Seraphine a few hours to pull everything through but now, Voren felt it was all worth it due to Brad’s agitation.

On the other hand, warmth flooded Corvine’s chest, his gaze turning teary as he looked at Voren. "Voren, the best decision I ever made was resigning from my position as beta when Sera divorced Ravyn."

He shook his head slowly, marveling at how far they’d all come. He had no idea by then that Seraphine even had such amazing skills but now, he was benefitting from it in ways he could not explain. "She’s worth fighting for, worth everything."

Without telling him, Seraphine had dealt with Liah’s enemies and Corvine lacked the words to express his gratitude towards her.

"I know." Voren’s voice was thick with emotion, shame coloring his features. He had gone against Seraphine in the beginning, had doubted her, had fought her at every turn to prove a point but now, it felt useless.

"I’ve even tasted her wrath, and trust me, I don’t want to imagine what those two are going through right now. They deserve it though, and you still have to make me proud during the contest." A shudder ran through Voren at the memory of his own losses.

"Goddess, I love her so much," Corvine exclaimed, his voice carrying an almost dreamy quality.

Voren frowned, his brow creasing with sudden wariness, but Corvine caught himself and shook his head vigorously.

"Not that kind of love, Voren." He held up his hands in mock surrender. He couldn’t believe Voren still took his words so literally.

"I think Liah would be happy to hear this. And honestly, Voren, I don’t know how I got so lucky to have Liah announce me as her fiancé. It’s even better that she and Sera get along so well."

He was already on his feet, heading toward the door, before remembering something and turning back.

"Uncle Humphrey called, but honestly, Voren, I’d rather be a casual warrior to remain under your umbrella than an Alpha away from you. I’m just glad Liah isn’t power greedy." His expression softened with genuine relief.

Voren felt a twinge of guilt for having doubted Corvine for even a second when he’d received that information from the outlanders. How could he have entertained the thought that Corvine would betray him? Corvine had proven himself time and again.

"You know, my best decision in life was trusting whomever Sera trusted." Voren’s voice was raw with honesty. "You’ve proven to be an amazing brother." The words hung in the air between them, heavy with meaning.

The two men embraced before Corvine returned to his room, leaving Voren alone with his thoughts and the soft sounds of his sleeping family.

In the midst of all the chaos, Voren was still able to rest for a few hours beside his pregnant wife and two children.

The warmth of their bodies, the gentle rhythm of their breathing, was a sanctuary from the madness that had consumed the night. But peace was shattered by a shrill scream from Jasmine.

"Bryan! Espe!" Her voice cut through the quiet like a blade, sharp with panic.

Seraphine jolted awake, her motherly instincts kicking in before her eyes even fully opened. Her heart raced as she sat up, scanning the room, only to frown a little at the sight of the little creatures nestled in her bed.

Esperanza’s dark hair was splayed across her pillow, Bryan’s small hand wrapped protectively around her. Seraphine snuggled closer, her panic fading into warmth.

She had no idea how the children got into her bed but she couldn’t be happier at the sight of them.

A knock on the door drew her attention. She was about to get off the bed when Voren beat her to it, his movements quick despite his exhaustion.

"Espe! Bryan!" Jasmine’s voice came through the door, breathless and frantic.

Voren opened the door slowly, his expression apologetic. "Sorry. I just wanted them to share my bed, and you were asleep, so I couldn’t tell you." He explained calmly.

A sigh of relief escaped Jasmine, her hand pressed to her chest. "Thank goddess. So when are we leaving? Should I order breakfast? I need to prep them too." Her voice was already geared to efficiency mode.

"Give me a moment," Voren said and went to pick up his phone, his thumb hovering over Corvine’s contact. He pressed dial and waited.

As soon as Corvine answered, Voren heard a shrill cry in the background. "Arrrrrh! Corvine, it hurts!" Athaliah’s voice sounded at the end of the line, raw with pain.

Voren was confused for a moment until Corvine explained bitterly, his own voice strained with helplessness. "Sorry, Voren. It’s her injured ankle. It should have been better, but it got worse, and she won’t let me massage it." Frustration bled through every word.

Seraphine’s movement caught Voren’s attention as he informed her, his hand covering the phone. "Liah’s ankle. Can you—"

He didn’t get to finish. Seraphine was already walking to the door, her bare feet padding across the plush carpet. "Sure, I’ll go check it out." She paused at the threshold to grab a robe, tying it loosely around her.

"Corvine, Sera is coming over," Voren said before ending the call and calling for Jasmine. "Stay with the kids. We have to leave for the pack, but I need to check on something first." His voice carried a note of urgency.

Before Jasmine could respond, Voren’s phone rang again. He glanced at the screen, and sorrow filled his heart at the familiar name. "Dad," he answered, his voice softening. "I planned to call you."

"Don’t tell me you can’t make it," his father said seriously, the weight of his words pressing through the line. "Voren, it’s more complicated than we think. The shaman is not willing to share everything until your return."
