Chapter 10JeremyFeeling cold in Hell wasn’t possible, yet I chilled when I stepped outside with so much skin exposed. Diana and Valefar turned to me as my high heels clicked against the marble steps. Diana was mortified by my bikini-esque costume, but Valefar looked ecstatic. “Sera! Who knew you’d scrub up so well?” Valefar rubbed his hands together before skipping over to me. “You look gorgeous,”“She looks nervous,” Diana pointed out. “I look like a hooker,” I helpfully added, slightly shocked that the word even made it past my lips.“Ah, well,” Valefar waved away my concern. “You’re not a hooker,” his voice was silky and sincere, right up until he added, “you’re not getting paid for it, after all!”I tried to conceal my sigh, but didn’t do a very good job. “My Hellhounds are all lined up for us. This way, this way,” Valefar snaked an arm around my waist and guided me towards the West Wing gardens. He was imbued with the aura of a sketchy car salesman. As usual, this was pure

Chapter 9Dream come true(Seraphine’s POV)Sleep didn’t come easily, but eventually I nodded off with tears staining my cheeks. I had expected nightmares. Dark visions of Hellhounds mating me while Valefar held me down with that polite, fake smile plastered on his lips. What I actually dreamt was quite different. I found myself standing on a platform of prismatic clouds. A warmth greeted me, but not like the dry heat of Hell. This warmth was comforting, like an embrace from a forgotten friend. I felt so light and airy that I wanted to fall back into the mix of colours and leave my mind to swim in the magical weave. My clothes had changed. My usual pants and top were traded for a long, flowing dress. A shimmering, pearlescent sheen to the fabric made me feel like a princess. I twirled around, enjoying the freedom, right up until I saw a mountainous figure watching me, mouthing my name. I froze. “Renrik?” I’d only seen his wolf form. This was a man who stood before me and still I k

Chapter 8Go to Hell! (Renrik’s POV)My brother asked me if the demon chaining up Seraphine was the same one that killed our father. “Honestly, I don’t know, but he’s a demon traipsing around with a wolf under his thumb. He admitted to killing our kind. I’d say it’s fucking likely it’s him.”“If he killed Dad, he’s powerful. You’re lucky you escaped with just a scratch,” Roderick gestured to my bandaged shoulder. I held my head high, letting my pride get the better of me. “I nearly killed him.” “And he won’t let you get that close to killing him again.”“Where are you going with this, Rod?” I squared up to him, my shadow engulfing my Gamma brother.“I know how you think, Ren,” Roderick didn’t recoil no matter how close I got. He would never be afraid of me, he’s seen me at my best and worst. I doubted there was anything I could do that would shock him anymore. “You’ll charge off without thinking things through. If you want your Luna, you need to be prepared. It will take time-”“T

Chapter 7Duskborne(Seraphine’s POV)“The Duskborne family,” Diana had laid herself down on my bed and folded her arms behind her head. “They’re old blood. Like, old, old blood.”“Okay?” Amber and I eyed each other, intrigued but confused.“I heard stories of them back when I was a kid on the Surface. Ask the older Hellhounds here and they’ll tell you the same thing I will. The Duskbornes are selfish monsters.” There was a flicker of a smile on Diana’s lips. She enjoyed slandering my mate; jealous, most likely. I didn’t dwell on her bitterness and at first, I didn’t take her words seriously.Amber furrowed her brow, giving Diana a look that silently told her to behave herself. “What are you talking about?”“Amber, have you ever heard of the Veilrend pack?” Diana stayed lying down, her head facing my friend.“Veil-rend? Uh,” She rubbed her chin as she turned the name over her tongue. “Oh! Yes! I… I have...” Her excitement over remembering immediately gave way to uncertainty as her gaze

Chapter 6 The Veilrend Pack (Renrik’s POV)The wound behind my shoulder was deeper than I thought. The silver had poisoned my skin, resisting my natural healing. The burned flesh stung as I slowly made my way back to my pack, replaying the fight over and over in my head, trying to pinpoint where I had fucked up.I should never have given the demon the opportunity to get to Seraphine. If I had been quicker - stronger - I could have smashed the bastard’s head in before he thought about using her as a hostage.He surprised me with how slippery he was. He moved like a snake, with elegant twists and rapid maneuvers. He should have had some demonic powers, but aside from summoning that blasted silver knife, I didn’t see anything that he was truly capable of. I should have been able to kill him for underestimating me… but instead, I let him escape with my Luna.And he wasn’t an idiot. He knew better than to make the same mistake twice. I had to prepare for the next time we faced off, becaus

Chapter 5Demon Vs Werewolf“We haven’t crossed paths before,” the wolf - Renrik, now that I know his name, spoke assuredly as he began to walk a wide circle around myself and Valefar. “If we had, you wouldn’t have walked away breathing.”“How stereotypically werewolf of you. So violent, even though you insist you don’t know me.” Valefar brushed his blonde bangs off of his face and sighed. “However, I admit it. I don’t recognize your voice, now that I’ve heard more of it. You do remind me of someone, though. Bah, but a lot of you wolves look and sound the same. I’ve killed so many of you over the years, it’s hard to recall who I might be thinking of…”The demon was playing with Renrik, trying to coax a savage reaction out of him. Renrik wasn’t a fool; he didn’t take the ba
