Chapter 29: The Wrong GirlSeraphina's POV"GET. OFF. HIM!"Ayla's scream shattered the moment like glass, and before I could even flinch, her hands were in my hair, yanking me backward."Ow! Let go!" I shrieked, struggling against her grip.Lucien groaned and tried to sit up, but he was still weak from whatever Marcus had done. His hand reached for me, eyes wide and panicked. "Ayla! Let her go!""YOU LITTLE VIXEN!" Ayla hissed, her perfectly manicured nails digging into my scalp. "You think you can just slither into my place beside him?!"I twisted, trying to break free, but she was stronger than she looked. "I'm not slithering anywhere! You're the one who barged into my house like a maniac!""You're in his arms! On his chest! In his bed!""Technically, it's my bed," I snapped, still flailing. "I said let go."How much drama do I need to experience within twenty-four hours? Lucien’s voice sliced through the chaos like a whip. "AYLA!"We both froze.His chest heaved with the effort o
Seraphina’s POV“Ayla?” I whispered, staring at Lucien’s phone like it was a bomb about to explode.Why… why would she be calling him?Right now? When he’s like this? When I’m here, panicking like a lunatic?The phone kept buzzing in my palm. I bit my lip, torn. Should I answer? Should I throw it across the room? Should I… should I...“Cupcake…” Lucien’s voice, soft and breathless, pulled my attention back to him.I jumped, clutching the phone tightly. “Your phone… it’s… it’s Ayla.”I said it like it tasted bad in my mouth.His eyes fluttered open lazily, his lips curving into a faint, teasing smile. “Hmm… let it ring. I don’t want to talk to her.”I bl
Seraphina’s POV“What the hell are you doing?”Lucien’s voice cut through the room like a whip, loud and angry.I jumped, my breath catching in my throat. Lucien’s wolf ears twitched violently, his fists balled at his sides, his chest rising and falling like he was barely holding himself back.“Move away from her,” Lucien growled.“Why should I?” Marcus’s voice was low, challenging, dangerous. His thumb brushed the edge of my jaw, his lips still inches from mine. “This is personal between me and her.”Lucien’s eyes burned, hazel with dangerous flecks of gold. “Move...Away. From....Her.”“Or what?” Marcus smirked, pushing his luck. "You’ll hurt me? In front of her?”
Seraphina’s POV“No. No way. I am not living with you.” I shook my head so hard I thought it might pop off."You don't have a choice cause I say so.""Your mom wont be happy with this...aren't you meant to be with Ayla?""Oh that! No one can force me. I am not attracted to Ayla." His eyes rolling down my body up and down sending me an embarrassing and silent message. My cheeks turned red. He smirked knowing he got the reaction he wanted.“Lucien, listen to me...I have a life. I have my own house. I need my own space.”“You can have your space…in my house.” He grinned like he’d just won the grand prize. “You’ll be safer that way.”“No!” I stomped my foot like a toddler. "You can't just control my life as you please.""I can....have you forgotten the 'I'll do anything to make up for what happened to Ayla and Orion?"I kept quiet. This just made my undercover work harder. How do I report to
“Excuse me?” I sputtered, still holding my burning cheek. “How dare you?”The woman turned around, her heels clicking hard on the floor as she marched towards me. Her glare sliced right through me. “What did you just say?”I straightened, feeling my anger boil over the fear. “I said...how dare you slap me when it was your son...your precious son...who was pinning me to the wall like some deranged animal?”Her eyes narrowed. “Deranged animal? My son? An animal? Watch your tongue, little girl.”“No, you watch yours!” My fists clenched at my sides. “You barge in here, dragging him out like some soap opera villain, and then have the nerve to slap me like I’m the one who begged him to kiss me? Are you serious right now?”Her nostrils flared. “You must not know who I am.”“I don’t care who you are!” I shouted, my voice cracking. “What gives you the right to hit me?”Her hand shot up again, faster this time, aiming for another slap. I braced myself but the slap never landed.A firm hand caug
“You’re useless,” Dax muttered, slamming yet another stack of files onto my desk. “How can someone be this slow?”I gritted my teeth and rolled my eyes. “Maybe if you’d explain what half these abbreviations mean...”“Figure it out,” he snapped, not even looking at me. “You want to work here? You swim or you drown.”I groaned, flipping through the file he just tossed at me. My eyes drifted to his desk again, looking at that calendar... That circled date.The 19th....Full moon.Something about it felt creepy. Was there going to be a wolf hunt or something like that where they kill a massive number of humans?I glanced at him, then back at the calendar. Should I ask?I cleared my throat. “Hey…Dax?”“What?”I hesitated. “What’s going on…on the 19th? Why’s it circled?”He froze. For the first time since I’d known him, he actually stopped moving. His fingers stayed on the paper, his entire body tense like I’d just hit a nerve.“That’s none of your business.”“It kind of feels like my busine
