Chapter 22Weighted Decision(Seraphine’s POV) We walked in silence. In the end, I decided to let Jezebel go free. My time as a Hellhound only saw me threaten and terrify people. I didn’t kill them. When Valefar wanted someone dead, he took a different wolf with him. In a weird, messed up way, I think he was shielding me from performing real violence. Or maybe that was all part of his strategic game of manipulation. If he had made me kill in the past, maybe I would have responded to Jess’ - Jezebel’s - betrayal differently. Perhaps I would have taken joy in personally ending her life, seeing the light snuff out of those pretty pink eyes…Ugh.I couldn’t stomach imagining it. I didn’t want Renrik to rip her throat out. Kenton and Renrik saw a lowly demon preying on mortals. I saw a person who didn’t ask to exist. I had grown up with imps and demonic creatures as my friends and acquaintances for the majority of my life. It might sound strange to anyone from the Surface, but demons a

Chapter 21A fate worse than death(Seraphine’s POV)Jess tore through her own skin with her nails, then snatched my hand. I jerked my arm away, but she was fast. The beads of red blood on her new wound were smeared across my finger tips. She messed up her hair, pulled out strands and shoved them into my other palm. “Jess! What the hell are you doing?!” I shouted, eyes wide in disbelief. She kept screaming until her voice faded into gasping whimpers. There were actual tears on her cheeks! I didn’t understand what was happening but I tried to fight off fear. I tried to reason with myself. I had called Jess out and asked her what she really was. Now Jess was trying to trap me. Renrik and Kenton returned as quickly as they’d promised. Both of them as their wolves. Jess ran to Renrik, sobbing hysterically. “Ren! Sera- she- she hurt me!” Jess thrust her arm right under his nose and Renrik bared his fangs. “I know she is supposed to be your mate, but I found out the truth.”“The truth

Chapter 20 Jess(Renrik’s POV)Before I met Seraphine, I would have said Jess was my type of woman. Gorgeous curves I could grab onto and an innocent face that I’d absolutely ruin with cum. Now she just looked plain to me, but the bruise around her eye made me livid. It made me want to protect her, even if she wasn’t a wolf.If I ever met Blake, I’d rip his fucking throat out. Any man that laid a finger on a woman like that didn’t deserve to breathe. I kept conversation light with Jess, although she led most of it. I nodded and let her ramble on about anything that made her happy. Sometimes I’d toss in a witty remark and she’d laugh. That felt nice. I had tried to be funny with Seraphine, but I guess my timing hadn’t been great. I’d pissed her off rather than anything else. After Kenton had pulled Seraphine into a side-hug, Jess kept turning back to watch them. She knew Seraphine was my fated mate. I didn’t hide that fact and I was proud of it, even if Seraphine hadn’t given me the

Chapter 19 Reject (Seraphine’s POV)As we travelled in our strange little pack, I learned why Kenton kept quiet as his wolf. Humans as a species didn’t accept werewolves. Outing what we were could have turned Jess against us very quickly and it would have been harder to earn her trust and for us to trust her. That being said, it didn’t take long for Renrik to decide that Jess should know the truth of our situation. He left out the fact that we were on the run from demons, but he made it blatant that we were werewolves escaping an abusive person ourselves. He told Kenton to shapeshift back onto two legs so Jess could marvel at the transformation. Poor Kenton did as his Alpha commanded, but I could tell it made him uncomfortable. Kenton wasn’t sold on the idea of telling Jess so much and honestly, neither was I. Renrik was the boss though, his decisions were final. Renrik took over leading the way and Jess was wrapped around his beefy bicep. She claimed she had no strength to walk

Chapter 18Woman of the forest (Seraphine’s POV) Kenton led the way while remaining in his wolf form. Renrik walked behind me in his human form, leaving a fair distance between us. I could feel his one good eye on me. Watching me as though I was a prisoner about to make a break for it. On top of that, the silence was stifling. I had to say something. Anything, just to get conversation flowing. I glanced over my shoulder. “Will your eye get better?” Then immediately regretted asking. It was an awful topic to choose; especially if his eye wasn’t going to heal. “Would you not love me if I only had one eye?” Renrik snarled. “I was just trying to make conversation,” I admitted. “If you must know, I don’t care about looks. It’s the person on the inside that matters. Who said I was going to fall in love with you, anyway?”Renrik’s gaze dropped to his marching feet. “The Moon Goddess weaved it into the stars. You are my Fated Mate. We will fall in love.” ‘Will’ fall in love. When Ambe

Chapter 17Like father, like son(Seraphine’s POV)Once Renrik left, I collapsed beside the fire. I knew Alphas held an immeasurable amount of power and had a natural aura of dominance, but feeling it for myself was surreal. There were no Alphas in Hell. Valefar killed them all or simply didn’t capture them. ‘Standing up’ to Renrik had left me drained.I tried to catch my breath and let my heart return to its normal rhythm, but a shiver shot down my spine. Someone was nearby. Someone was watching me. While my body went stiff, I tried not to let on that I was very aware of the shadow creeping up on me. “Hey-”I pounced. I couldn’t shift into my wolf form without Valefar’s permission, but I could use the iron cuffs on my arms to whack someone around the head. That was exactly what I did and quickly regretted it as Kent whimpered and backed away, rubbing his red cheek that I’d just walloped. “Ow, ow, ow. How can someone so small pack such a punch?” “Kent?! I thought you were on patr
