SERAPHINA“Sera, where the hell are you? I swear if you don’t get your ass in here, I will-” I put the phone away from my ear, flinching at her yammering.“Aida, keep it down. I can hear you just fine.” I complained and rubbed my eyes. What the heck is she on about?I heard a deep growl from the other side of the line, making me straighten out of bed. She’s a female alpha, and she’s definitely using her authority right now.“H-hey, calm down. What is it, really? I don’t understand. Did a customer complain again?” I asked in confusion.Aida is one of the first employees of Velvet Fang. She handles all the werewolf employees in the club and even leads the hunt during the full moons, pretty much our acting Alpha, but she doesn’t let us address her as one. I’m pretty sure Lucien is an alpha too, but I rarely see him during the full moons. That bastard just collects people, finds one responsible, and lets them handle everything.“What in the three factions… You’re asking me, Sera? You’re a

SERAPHINA“No, sorry. She called in sick today. Must be a migraine from a vision or something.” I blatantly lied and wanted nothing to do with him. I already fucked up his life once. I think that was enough. If he doesn’t recognize me, let it stay that way.Before I could take a step away from him, he suddenly grabbed my arm, physically stopping me from leaving. “I know it’s you. She wears gloves to avoid touching people.”“Flash news, seers aren’t the only ones who can wear gloves. It goes well with my outfit. Besides, I’m a werewolf like you.” I continued denying it.“Werewolves can be seers, too. I’ve met one before.”Yes, because that’s me. Damn it!I glared at him, knowing that no amount of denying would make him believe otherwise. He held me tightly, squeezing only enough so I wouldn’t go.“Let go of me this instant, or I will alert the security,” I warned him. Ranks and status aren’t considered in this place if they are hostile, especially to employees. That’s how we are protec

SERAPHINAI slid a blood-slicked glass across the counter, pretending the loud music of The Velvet Fang didn’t still rattle my nerves. Two years in, and it’s still draining my sanity.The vampire grinned, fangs protruding and poking out of his lower lip. “You sure you’re not on the menu tonight, my love? I can pay whatever price just to taste you.”I grinned sarcastically and leaned a bit. His eyes immediately dropped down to my chest, peeking a bit from a top I only wore to net bigger tips, then back to my neck. His eyes glimmered red for a second, but they quickly went back to normal.Then, I whispered, knowing that he’d hear me perfectly. “I hope you choke on that blood.”The smile on his face disappeared in an instant. He laughed, but the amusement in his voice was replaced with sarcasm.“Is that how you treat a VIP customer?”I scoffed at his remark and swirled my finger, gesturing for him to look at the whole place. “Do you even know where you have entered? You’d be at the priva

SERAPHINAIt’s not the first time that I had to deal with people of my kind, but with the scent blockers they put on me, no one had really figured out I was not a witch or a creature from The Veil faction…until this man.He stepped closer to us, eyes still focused on me. My heart thumped so hard that my chest started to tighten slightly. It wasn’t fear that I felt, nor the intimidating aura of the alphas. It’s overwhelming but surprisingly comforting, too.For a moment, I couldn’t help but wish for a connection between us to form. Would the Goddess ever think of bestowing me a mate? Or is even wishing for one considered selfishness? After all, the person I’d be mated with would have to suffer because of these wretched abilities. It’s like sharing the same burden I carry… and I don’t really think I’m ready to condemn someone like that.“I’ve already sought my kind’s best healers and doctors, and they can’t tell what was wrong with my mate. You told me you have a seer who might be able

SERAPHINAI saw my first vision when I was fifteen. It was also the first time I saw death. Not just a death, but my mother’s.I was barely awake at that time. I slept late, preparing for a school presentation, and woke up early. She kissed my forehead that morning, tucking loose strands of hair behind my ear while reminding me to eat the food that she had packed for my lunch. I even remembered complaining that I was no longer a kid, but she just laughed at me and said I’d forever be a child in her eyes.That was the last time I ever saw her. I should have cherished that moment, should have embraced her when I had the chance…I was in the middle of my presentation when the vision slammed into me. I saw red, a place engulfed by fire, bodies listless everywhere, and the howls of pain were simply unbearable. So much that I lost consciousness. I was already at the school clinic when I woke up, but I clearly remember the last thing I saw before I fell unconscious.My mother was covered in
