Chapter 32Fiery Temper(Diana’s POV) It was Hell in Hell. Seraphine’s absence and the leash on Valefar had my master in a rotten mood. I had seen him grab numerous imps by the face and squeezed until their heads imploded, simply because they were the nearest thing to him when someone had pissed him off. I laid low. Not just because he was in a dangerous mood, but because I was still stinging from the night we shared together. The night I had gotten drunk off of lust and fantasies. The night he had officially rejected me and kicked me into the corridor butt-naked. It hurt on so many levels. I didn’t even know where to begin with healing. I still loved him. He was my demonic Alpha and despite Valefar making it very clear that I was nothing more than a guinea pig to him, I was still ready and willing to let him conduct any vicious experiment he wanted on me. So long as it resulted in me being held in his arms or feeling the blazing heat of his skin against my own. Goddess, it’s so

Chapter 31Heat(Seraphine’s POV)His lips were delicate. With how large and bulging Renrik’s muscles were, I assumed his touch would be rough and unforgiving. Instead, the kiss felt like a butterfly had landed on my lips, curiously searching for nectar. Oh, how I wanted to give him my nectar. I kissed back.I was inexperienced and nervous, but I surprised myself with how hungry I was for that moment. I went onto the tips of my toes and pressed myself against him. I didn’t care that he was dripping wet and soaking my clothes. I desperately needed to feel the shape of his body against mine. My fingers tangled themselves within his dark hair, while my other hand stroked the back of his neck. I relished the fact my touch gave him goosebumps.Suddenly I was engulfed. He pulled me into a fierce embrace, more in line with what I had expected from an Alpha. Possessive. Protective. His body was rock-hard and I could feel something harder squashed against my stomach. It must have been his

Chapter 30Washed Up(Renrik’s POV)I was supposed to be preparing my big speech to rally the troops, but I had put my shower off for far too long. Cleansing the stench of Hell from my skin seemed like a far better use of my time than locking myself in my bedroom and scribbling nonsense on post-it notes. No-one would have described me as the charismatic type, and my brother definitely wouldn’t have called me a planner. As much as I wanted to write some inspiring speech, it wasn’t who I was and I would just end up throwing any predetermined script out of the window anyway. I didn’t bother telling any of the domestic staff I was showering, because I was capable of grabbing my own fucking towels and soap. I didn’t enjoy having maids, but it was supposed to be an honour to serve the Alpha and his bloodline. To strip them of that honour was worse than firing or not hiring them at all. In the end, I let Roderick deal with the comings and goings of the staff.Steam swiftly filled the bath

Chapter 29Family(Seraphine’s POV)I picked a pair of black pants and a neat, cream blouse. They both fit me quite well and I thought I looked rather pretty in the combination, but Yvonne pouted when I stepped out of the bathroom wearing them.“I’m too fat for that outfit now,” she huffed, gathering and folding the unpicked clothes.After words like that, my eyes were immediately drawn to her body. She didn’t look much bigger than me, but there was definitely one clear difference. “You’ve just got bigger boobs,” I pointed out.She glanced down at her chest and readjusted how her girls sat in her bar. “And a bigger ass, but that’s because I eat too much cheese.” I giggled.For a second, it felt like I was back with Amber and Diana (back before Diana became a dedicated disciple of Valefar). On top of that, despite knowing Yvonne for only an hour, I had this inexplicable urge to call her my sister. There was a strong tug on my heart, guiding me towards her. It was nothing like the co

Chapter 28The Alpha?(Renrik’s POV)I didn’t want to let Seraphine out of my sight, but I was too tired to battle Yvonne for custody of her. Besides, I didn’t want to be seen as one of those controlling men whose Luna daren’t breathe without his permission. It was important for Seraphine to get a medical checkup. Goddess knows if she’d ever been seen by a real fucking physician before. And having another female around her, one we could actually trust, who wasn’t some wretched succubus, would probably give Seraphine space to express and explore her emotions. I had tried hard to be open and lend her a listening ear, but I know I’m shit at it. Finding the scarce right words to say to a woman, when there’s millions of wrong ones; it’s an impossible task. Even the Alpha of all Alphas would struggle to answer a woman correctly. Thoughts of Seraphine reluctantly faded into the back of my mind as I marched through the village towards the Duskborne home.Whenever I left the pack on busines

Chapter 27Welcome to Veilrend(Seraphine POV) Finally… FINALLY I got to see a real pack. I expected Veilrend to have a white, veil-like dome draped over it, but it didn’t. The place looked like an old village with an ancient stone wall framing its borders. I admit, I was a little disappointed to find out the protective barrier was invisible. “Ah, home sweet home,” Kenton beamed. “After you, Seraphine.” Renrik gestured to the main entrance into town. “A real pack. A real community with just wolves.” My voice trembled and my legs were frozen. I didn’t know what to expect and I never dreamed I’d set foot in another pack. Especially one neighbouring the graveyard of my own origins. I nervously glanced at Renrik. “I… I don’t know what to do. What’s the etiquette?” “I’ll introduce you,” he assured me, as he bowed his head in greeting to the man and woman approaching us. “My brother and his fiancée are coming, so let’s go.” With one deep breath, I stepped into Veilrend. Again, I was
