Seraphine’s POV“Why are you doing this to me?” my voice low and teeth shaking from the effect of the cold water rushing down my back. I was panicking but shivered from the cold. I was scared.I’d crept into the Alpha’s bathroom. Not exactly my finest moment, but desperate times, right? If the guy was going to kill me because, let’s face it, that seemed pretty much inevitable then I figured I deserved a real bath before I bit the dust.The weird thing was, the water actually felt…well. Too good. Not like home, where every shower smelled like a haunted pipe and left me shivering for hours. This? It should’ve been comforting. Rather it was making me feel more pain.And then out of nowhere, the shower curtain got yanked aside.I froze. No, I mean, I literally stopped breathing.Agora stood there, like some six-foot-tall nightmare. His stare cut right through me, icy and fast, before he jerked his gaze away so hard I swear I heard his neck crack.My heart? Oh, it was throwing itself arou

Agora’s POV “We’re wasting time, Agora.” The old bastard slammed his fist on the table so hard it shook the cups. You could hear the impatience in his voice. “Kael’s armies swell with every moon. If we don’t act...” I cut him off, sharp as a blade. “Enough.” My voice thundered through the chamber, snapping the air in half. You could’ve heard a pin drop after that. Gods, they made me sick bickering like crows over a carcass, clutching at fear while I needed them to have a damn spine. I didn't bother to hear another word. I just waved my hand, indicating the meeting was over, and slammed the door behind me. Finally, I could breathe. War rumors buzzed like flies, Kael’s name on every tongue, and my people clung to me for hope. Fine, I’d give them strength, even if it killed me. But tonight? My patience was already out. I walked down the corridor, desperate to get to my room for a little peace. As soon as I got to the door, I flung the room open. A girl hell, a maid sprawled out on

Seraphine’s POV“Don’t ever let him see you.”Those words sent a chill down my spine. The head maid’s voice? Sharp enough to shave your soul. She looked at me with those eyes that could cut glass, like she already saw my fear leaking out.“If the Alpha finds you in his chamber,” she leaned in real close, her breath all coffee and something sharper, “You won’t walk out alive. Got it?”I nodded, probably looking like I was about to hurl. “Yes, Head Maid.”She just sneered. “The last girl who thought she could handle this…” Her lips twisted into something ugly. “…she ended up in pieces in the square. Dogs ate her bones. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”My heart skipped a beat, and my palms got all sweaty and I almost dropped my broom. “So why me?”The other maids started giggling, pretending to fold sheets or whatever, but really, they were watching me crash and burn. Nobody wanted this job.The head maid straightened up, fixing her scar. “Why you? Because everyone else is too chicken to s

Seraphine’s POVMy heart was racing, beating so loud. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling in the pitch dark room. Torchlights from the guards shone lazily in the room as the other girls slept.I cannot stay here. I am not a commodity.I slid out of bed as slowly as I could, barely breathing. The boards under my feet creaked traitors, honestly. I held my hair back with shaking hands, yanked my ugly brown dress up to my knees. Tonight I was getting out. No matter what.This place is nuts. Lanterns barely lit the halls and the corners were sharp enough to slice. Guards stomped around in pairs, boots echoing through the hallways. If I mess up my timing, then I’m doomed. I hugged the wall, literally feeling the cold seep into my bones, waiting for their voices to vanish. My lungs felt like they’d explode from holding my breath.Go. Now or never.I bolted across the hallway, no shoes, and my feet were silent. Slipped through a side door, thank you, universe, and landed in the courtyar

SERAPHINE’S POV“Mum, I’m already twenty. I will soon be given a mate by the moon goddess. Why can’t you wait till then? Why must I be given out in marriage to a man I barely know?” I cried angrily. They hate me.I knew they did.I know not everyone likes my family but they didn’t have to give out their only daughter like this.“What do you mean to a man you barely know? He is the Alpha. You don’t know the Alpha?” my dad scorned.“We have never asked you to do anything for us before…nothing,” mum added, staring at me like I had committed the greatest crime known to man. “No, I won’t do it,” I yelled, my voice cracking.“You can’t make me marry him!” The small table shook as I slammed my hand on it. My body shook with fury. My mother frowned and her eyes looked at me coldly. Father sat by the corner, not saying anything. I breathed harshly. My mother stepped in front of me, her voice stern. “We have sacrificed a lot for you. Do you think food and a place to sleep comes for free. A
