Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 614

Chapter 614: Chapter 614 - Everyone is hoping for a change because of you

Stars were meant to shine in the sky, but at the Grimroot pack, they were shining from the ground.

The pack had been carved out of a rock formation, its protective features temporarily removed to reveal the transparent crystalline structure beneath.

This only happened during special occasions, but what made it truly magical were the floating lights.

The plunge pools under the waterfalls to the east side of the pack and the ponds in front of the pack were all covered in floating lights, thousands upon thousands of tiny glowing orbs that drifted lazily on the water’s surface, reflecting and dancing like captured stars.

At the sight of the approaching chopper, hundreds of pack members gathered around the release point and sent more floating lights soaring into the air. They rose in waves, shimmering and golden, painting the darkening sky with warmth.

The chopper had to land a distance away and not on top of the pack house like Seraphine knew.

It was her first time using the main entrance of the pack house, her first time approaching from this angle, and as they got out of the chopper, the pack members marched toward them in practiced and rehearsed steps.

More floating lights were released into the air as they approached, the glow washing over them like a golden tide.

"At the Grimroot pack, floating lights are very special to us." Voren began speaking as they walked in measured steps toward the lights, his voice soft with emotion. "We use them for three different things."

He paused, watching the orbs drift upward. "One, for remembering a loved one who passed away. Mostly leaders. This was supposed to be done for my mother."

His voice caught slightly. "But I know that isn’t the reason for it now." Indeed, the pack members had no idea that Luna Oriana had even died, so this could not be for her.

"The second reason is for hope." Voren’s eyes found Seraphine’s, warm and full of meaning. "Everyone is hoping for a change because of you."

Seraphine got emotional, tears welling in her eyes. She had given her life and blood to the Centenary pack, but she had never been honored for it, never welcomed like this, never celebrated.

At the Grimroot pack, she had contributed nothing so far, and they already did this for her? The thought overwhelmed her, made her chest tight with gratitude.

Voren had more to say, his voice steady despite the lump in his throat. "The third reason is for a new beginning. So this welcome is for both hope and a new beginning." He turned to face her fully, his gaze intense. "The pack is expectant, and we mustn’t disappoint them."

Esperanza was already running toward Kael, her small legs pumping furiously, her arms outstretched. Bryan was running toward Damon, his laughter ringing out across the clearing.

The two betas had released their last floating lights before running forward and capturing the kids in their arms.
