Nora

I found Raphael in his study room after dinner. The door is open and he is sitting at his desk with his jacket off and his sleeves rolled up. He is looking at something on his laptop. When I knock on the doorframe he looks up at me.The way I tilt my face makes him close his laptop.

"Come in, " he says to me.

I slowly enter and I do not sit down. I close the door,stand in front of his desk with my hands by my sides. I look directly at Raphael.

"Serena, " I say. "What is she to you?"

  • Alpha Raphael's Second Chance Mate    Chapter 51

    NORAI was finally out of that hospital,and I wasn't going back to my old room.I made that decision on my own and I told Raphael directly and he looked at me for a moment and then just nodded like he had already been waiting for me to say it."I'm moving into your chambers," I said,"Okay," he said,Just like that,there was no argument, no long talk about it. It's as if , he already knows. Or maybe he decided the same thing, without me knowing.Damon helped with my things, Wren was absolutely thrilled and didn't even try to hide it, and by evening I was settled into Raphael's chambers like I had always belonged there.I was more than glad to be here. I couldn't believe we actually made it official between us.What makes this more exhilarating is while I was here,he took care of everything.My medications were organized before I even asked, he checked on me more times than was probably necessary, and every time I caught him watching me from across the room he would just look away casu

  • Alpha Raphael's Second Chance Mate    Chapter 50

    RAPHAELSleep stopped making sense a long time ago. I’d lie down out of habit, stare at the ceiling, and wait for nothing to happen. Most nights, I ended up back in my study room anyway.Same chair, same silence,same thoughts I didn’t ask for.Nora.That was always where my mind went first.Her mug was still on the shelf near the cabinet. I noticed it every time I looked up. Nobody moved it. I didn’t tell anyone to. It was just there like she was still going to walk in and pick it up.The chair across my desk bothered me the most. She used to sit there like she owned the place. Sometimes arguing, sometimes quiet, sometimes just watching me like she was figuring me out piece by piece.I used to think she was too bold for her own good.Now the room just felt wrong without it.I pushed a file forward, tried to focus. My eyes moved over the same line again and again without taking anything in. After a while I stopped pretending.No point.My attention kept slipping anyway. Back to the ho

    NORAMy eyes opened slowly and the first thing I saw was a white ceiling, bright lights, and a hospital smell that I already knew way too well at this point. I blinked once, twice, and my brain was still trying to catch up with where I was and what was happening around me."She's awake,"That was Wren and she was already grabbing my arm before I could even process anything. Her eyes were red and swollen like she had been crying for a really long time, and suddenly there were people everywhere, voices coming from every direction, movement all around the bed. "Nora hey, can you hear me, are you okay,""Don't sit up yet,""Give her space please, give her space,""Nora look at me,""I'm okay," I said, and my voice came out rough and strange, like something that hadn't been used in a long time, "I'm okay, just give me a second,"Daniel pressed my shoulder back down gently when I tried to sit up, "Easy, your body needs time, don't rush it,"I let him push me back and I looked around the

    NORAI could hear everything.That was the worst part honestly, I could hear every single thing happening around me but I couldn't do anything about it, I couldn't move, I couldn't open my eyes, I couldn't even make a sound no matter how hard I tried and I tried so many times.It was like being trapped inside my own body with no way out.I heard Celeste crying at some point, that soft broken kind of crying that she was clearly trying to hold back but couldn't, and I heard Marcus's voice too, low and tight, talking to someone I couldn't identify properly.I heard Wren.I heard Daniel giving instructions to someone.I heard all of it and I was right there, I was present, but my body just refused to respond to anything I was trying to tell it to do and that was the most frustrating and terrifying thing I had ever experienced in my entire life.But more than any of that, more than the frustration of being trapped and more than the fear of not knowing what was happening to my body, all I k

    RAPHAELKael stood up at that table and cleared his throat like he was about to give some big important speech and honestly the whole room went quiet immediately because everyone could tell something was coming."I called this meeting today because I have a serious legal complaint," he said, looking around at everyone slowly before his eyes landed on me, "Alpha Raphael forcefully took my child from my pack two months ago and I am here to formally sue him under the alpha law."I kept my face completely still and just looked at him."The law is very clear on this matter," he continued, "no alpha is permitted to use his power and his position to wrongly take what belongs to another alpha. What he did was a direct violation and I want justice in front of all of you as witnesses today."One of the older alphas across the table leaned forward and said "That is a serious accusation Kael, do you have proof of this.""I have everything," Kael said, "documents, timelines, witness accounts, all

    RAPHAELMe and Marcus and Celeste were all sitting together at the hospital and honestly the whole atmosphere felt really heavy, like nobody even knew what to say anymore after everything that happened with Nora.Celeste looked completely broken, her eyes were red already from crying too much and every few minutes she would wipe her face again like she was trying hard to stop herself from crying more but it just kept happening anyway.Marcus looked bad too even though he was handling it better than her, but you could still see it on his face, the stress, the pain, the guilt, all of it was there clear as day.“She just walked out,” Celeste said again quietly while holding her hands together tightly, “she didn’t even look back at us, she just left,”Marcus sighed beside her and rubbed his forehead slowly.“We knew this would be hard for her,” he said after a moment, “finding out something like this after living your whole life believing something else…”He stopped talking halfway and lo
