Seraphina

Fire. That was the only word for what consumed me.

It was not the gentle warmth of a candle or hearth, but the raging inferno of a wildfire, burning through every cell in my body with merciless intensity.

Dimitri's teeth were locked in my throat, mine in his, and I could feel our blood mingling, our wolves crashing together like thunder.

The poison screamed as it died. I could actually feel it. The wolfsbane that had been killing me, eating away at my organs and shutting down my bod

    Natasha"You don't have to keep anything in your old room anymore," Mikhail said the next morning, his fingers trailing lazy patterns on my bare shoulder as we lay tangled together in his bed. "Move in here properly. Bring all your things."My heart did a little flip at the casualness of it, like it was the most natural thing in the world for me to officially move into his quarters. I supposed it was natural now that we didn't have to hide anymore."Are you sure?" I asked, even though I already knew my answer. "It's a big step.""We've already taken the biggest step," He pointed out, pulling me closer. "Everything else is nothing. Besides, I want your stuff here. I want to wake up and see your books on the shelves and your clothes in the closet. I want it to feel like our space, not just mine.""Our space," I repeated, testing out the words. They felt right. "Okay. Let's do it."I found myself standing in my old bedroom a few hours later, looking at all the belongings I had accumula

  • Alpha Daddy's Forbidden Ward   CHAPTER 81

    MikhailThe morning after the council's decision, I woke up with Natasha still in my arms, sunlight streaming through my bedroom windows.For the first time in years I felt like I could actually breathe. No more hiding, no more sneaking around and no more pretending she was just my sister when she was so much more than that. She was mine and nothing was going to change that, but I knew the real test was still coming. The council had given us permission to be together, but that didn't mean the pack would accept it easily. We had been confined to my room or hers for the past day while everything got sorted out with Rowan and his pack. Dimitri handled the political fallout, while the gossip spread like wildfire through the pack house and probably beyond. By now everyone knew, everyone had heard, and everyone had formed an opinion about what Natasha and I were doing.Today we would have to face them all."Are you ready for this?" I asked Natasha as we got dressed that morning, watchi

    NatashaMikhail and I barely made it down the hallway when Rowan appeared, his face twisted with rage."You!" He snarled, stalking toward us. "You fucking whore!"Mikhail immediately stepped in front of me, his body a protective wall between Rowan and I. "Watch your mouth." He growled, his eyes darkening with anger."Watch my mouth?" Rowan laughed, but there was no humor in it. "I'll say whatever the fuck I want! She was supposed to be mine! We had an arrangement!""An arrangement I never agreed to," I said from behind Mikhail, keeping my voice steady even though my heart was racing. "I never wanted to marry you, Rowan. I'm sorry you're hurt, but—""Hurt? HURT?" His voice rose to a shout. "You humiliated me! Made me look like a fool in front of everyone! And for what? So you could fuck your brother?""That's enough," Dimitri's voice cut through the hallway as he appeared, clearly having followed us. "Rowan, I understand you're upset, but threats and insults won't solve anything.""I'

    MikhailDimitri's office had never felt so much like a courtroom.The council members were already assembled when we arrived, arranged in a semicircle of stern faces and folded arms. Eight of the pack's most senior wolves, all looking at Natasha and I like we had just committed murder instead of confessing our love. Dimitri took his place at the head, his expression carved from stone, and gestured for us to stand in the center of the room.I kept Natasha's hand clasped firmly in mine. Whatever happened next, we would face it together."Do you understand the severity of what you've done?" Dimitri asked, his voice eerily calm. "You've humiliated Irina and her entire family in front of witnesses from three territories. You've destroyed an alliance that took months to negotiate. You've potentially started a war, and you did it all for—" He gestured between us, his expression somewhere between disbelief and disgust. "For this.""For love," I said firmly. "We did it for love.""Love," D

    NatashaThe silence after my words was deafening. Every single person in that hall was staring at me and I wanted to melt into the floor and disappear but I couldn't.I wouldn't. Not now that I finally found the courage to speak. My heart was pounding so hard I thought it might burst out of my chest and my hands were shaking but I kept my chin up and kept my eyes on Mikhail even though I could feel the weight of hundreds of stares boring into me.People started moving and murmuring, the whispers spreading like wildfire through the crowd. I saw shock on faces, disbelief, horror and curiosity, but I didn't care about any of them. I only cared about Mikhail, standing there at the altar in his ceremonial clothes with Irina beside him, and the look on his face when I said those words.He's already mated to me.I started walking toward the altar, my legs somehow carrying me forward even though they felt like jelly. Each step felt heavy but I took it anyway, moving through the crowd as th

    MikhailI stood in my room while servants bustled around me, dressing me in the ceremonial clothes I was supposed to wear to bind myself to a woman I didn't love. The fabric was expensive, the embroidery intricate, every detail carefully chosen to reflect the importance of this union between two powerful families.Deep down, it felt like I was going to a funeral instead of a mating ceremony."Arms up, sir." The tailor said, and I obeyed mechanically, letting him adjust the formal jacket, pin it here and there, fuss over the fit.Through the window I could hear the sounds of celebration, music and laughter and excited chatter as the pack gathered for what they considered a joyous occasion. To them this was a triumph, a strategic victory and the beginning of a new era of prosperity and strength.To me, it was the beginning of the end."You look very handsome," The tailor said, stepping back to admire his work. "Your bride will be pleased."I said nothing. What was there to say? That I

    MikhailI should have known Irina wouldn't let it go. We had been on three dates now. They were three awkward, stilted attempts at building some kind of connection before the ceremony, and each time she tried to escalate things physically, I made excuses and claimed I wanted to wait. I claimed th

    NatashaI heard a soft knock on the door just after midnight.I was lying in bed fully clothed, staring at the ceiling, my bag packed and ready under the bed. Tomorrow night. Less than twenty-four hours and we would be gone.If Seraphina let us go.I opened the door to find her standing there in a

    Natasha"We could go to Romania."Mikhail spread a map across the small table in the abandoned cabin we found deep in the territory. It was our secret meeting place, far from any pack patrols."There's a community of wolves who have left their packs there. They don't ask questions and they don't re
