Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 613

Chapter 613: Chapter 613 - The threads are already weaving together

Alpha Vladimir had called a meeting with the pack leaders after ending his call with Voren.

Kael, Damon, and a few of the elders sat together at the shaman’s cave, the flickering firelight casting dancing shadows across their weathered faces.

The cave was warm despite the chill outside, the air thick with the scent of herbs and ancient incense.

"Voren will be here tomorrow evening." Vladimir’s voice carried the weight of command, his gaze sweeping across the assembled group. "Kael, you know what to do." He turned to the young beta, his eyes sharp with expectation.

"And Damon, I’m glad you transferred your knowledge from the Centenary pack. Put the pack in order and give them hope that the Alpha, Luna, Co-Alpha, and Co-Lunas will be arriving soon."

Kael smiled, his excitement barely contained. "The pack has a surprise. I’ll help them start working on it." His expression flickered with concern. "I just hope it doesn’t snow tomorrow, or everything will be ruined."

"Whatever surprise you are planning, you have to know that it should be for a new beginning." The shaman’s voice was a low, melodic murmur, her ancient eyes glinting with hidden knowledge though she looked younger than her age.

Kael laughed, the sound echoing off the cave walls. "Shaman, we have lived without a Luna by Alpha Voren’s side for almost a decade. Everyone is aware of the changes. We know what this means for the pack."

"Don’t forget that there are going to be two Lunas," the shaman reminded them, her voice dropping to a mysterious whisper. "Though I foresee a great change. I can’t tell anyone because I don’t know how that is going to happen." She paused, her gaze growing distant. "However, it’s written in both Voren and Seraphine’s destinies. The threads are already weaving together."

Vladimir frowned, hating the suspense that hung in the air like a physical weight. "You can tell me." His voice was firm, demanding. "No pack has ever had a co-Alpha and co-Luna. I think the Centenary pack was the first to crown a co-Luna, and everything backfired."

He leaned forward, his eyes boring into the shaman’s. "Tell me, will the princess be trouble?"

In Ravyn’s case, things had been different because Daisy was his mistress. But in Seraphine’s case, Liah wasn’t. She was Corvine’s supposed partner. Vladimir didn’t expect trouble, but he needed certainty.

The shaman laughed, a soft, knowing sound that didn’t reach her eyes. "You have a smart way of getting information, Alpha Vladimir." She shook her head slowly.

"But sorry, you aren’t getting it from me." Her expression turned serious, her voice dropping to barely above a whisper. "A week and a few days from now will be the coronation of a new Alpha King and Luna Queen. But I don’t see any of the candidates wearing that crown."

This time, everyone was disturbed. Vladimir knew how important the crown meant for Voren, for their pack, for the future they were all desperately trying to build. If none of the candidates would wear it, then it meant Corvine wasn’t getting it too.

"Why so?" Vladimir’s voice was tight with barely controlled anxiety. "There should be a way for the crown to get to Corvine. It’s the only way we can have it here. It’s the only way to secure our future."

The shaman smiled, but it was faint, tinged with sorrow. "I see Corvine wearing it for exactly one minute." She held up a single finger. "No more."
