LOGINSeraphina's world shatters the night she finds her beloved Kaelan, the future Alpha, in bed with her best friend. She ends their relationship without a second thought. But fate delivers a cruel blow when Seraphina discovers on her eighteenth birthday that Kaelan is her destined mate. Seeing a chance for vengeance, she publicly rejects their bond, ignoring his desperate pleas to save his face in front of the pack. Her vengeance is short-lived. Seraphina soon uncovers a devastating truth: her best friend, consumed by bitter jealousy; had drugged Kaelan and staged the entire scene. He was innocent. Shattered by her catastrophic mistake, Seraphina searches for Kaelan to apologize, but he has vanished without a trace, abandoning his pack and his old life. For ten years, Seraphina is shackled by guilt, while her pack weakens and crumbles toward ruin. As a last resort, her father secures an alliance with a mysterious and powerful pack rumored to be ruled by a ruthless Alpha known only as Lucifer. To save her people, Seraphina is forced to sign a contract, binding her fate to this feared stranger. Her doom is sealed when she comes face-to-face with the legendary Lucifer and finds the boy she rejected is gone, replaced by a cold, formidable, and terrifying man. Kaelan makes it clear he is back to claim what is his, and his intentions are laced with vengeance. Although, Seraphina is determined to atone for the past, Kaelan is a wall of ice she cannot melt. To survive, she must unravel the secrets he guards so fiercely. But the truth he’s hiding is more dangerous than his hatred, and her discovery of it will not just break her—it will destroy her completely and threaten to burn their entire world to the ground.
View MoreI clutched the glass in my hand so hard the crystal quivered. But that was the least of my concerns as I stared absently at the women trying desperately to hold my attention.I’d driven to this club in a fury after the conversation with Seraphina. Rio, who’d seen me take off at an insane speed, had followed. He was now sitting across from me, trying to decipher my black mood. He’d even suggested bringing in company to lighten it, but all they did was grate on my nerves.Seraphina called me a coward.A dark chuckle escaped me, though my insides were a furnace. I hated remembering the past so much that it ached when I did. But there was nothing much I could do when the main cause of my brutal past was right in my house."Honestly, I thought everything would get more fun, and you know, you’d be more happy, now that you’re married," Rio shrugged after looking at me for minutes and noting my expression."Did a fairy godmother whisper to you that marriage is all rosy? Marriage is crap," I
Isolde gulped, her face contorting with shame, and slowly sank to her knees. She met my eyes, and I felt the heat of her hatred radiating toward me.She looked once more at Kaelan, whose gaze dared her to challenge him.As she crouched and brought her mouth closer to the floor, the Empress sprang up again. "Your Majesty, please, stop this! This is madness!"Kaelan chuckled darkly. "Have I ever acted sane to you? Let your daughter refuse my order. Then you'll see how truly insane I can be."The Empress fell silent, her chest heaving with impotent rage.Seeing no rescue, Isolde closed her eyes, a tear escaping as the tip of her tongue touched the polished stone. She sprang up the moment she did it and fled, presumably to the kitchens.A strange, hollow feeling settled in my stomach. I disliked Isolde, and part of me found a dark justice in her humiliation, but another part—a small, inconvenient part, pitted her."I'm done here," Kaelan stated, pushing back his chair. The Empress rose as
"Prodigal Luna? Excuse me?" I asked, unable to stop myself. I could feel Kaelan's eyes boring into my skin, a silent warning, but the insult had already lit a short fuse in my chest.She cleared her throat, before plastering on a smile so false it was almost insulting. "Pardon my manners, Your Majesties. Please, let's proceed to the table," she said, motioning to a vast dining hall.We settled in, and she immediately engaged Kaelan in talk of pack trade and border patrols, her words carefully sculpted to exclude me. I was furniture.Then, a shriek came from the west wing, and I turned to see someone I never expected.Isolde?What was she doing here? A cold trickle of foreboding dripped down my spine."Oh my Gosh, Your Majesty! I didn't know you were here!" she gushed, fluttering to where we sat. "Why didn't you tell me, Mum?" she asked, facing the Empress."Mum?" I blurted without meaning to. The Grand Empress is Isolde’s mother?"Yes. Mum," the Empress said, her smile now dripping wi
SERAPHINA'S POVI watched as my father walked through the tall gates of the castle, and I clenched my fists till my knuckles turned white, a bitter taste filling my mouth.He had arranged a contract marriage without my consent—not that I’d really revolted against it.He knew I was getting married to the person whose life I once ruined, and he never once mentioned it. Not one warning. Not one word.I heard him pleading with Kaelan about something, using my being as a pledge.And now, he was walking through the door without so much as a ‘hi’ to his only daughter. His dismissal cut deeper than any shout.My blood boiled, a hot, corrosive anger rising in my chest. I almost wanted to catch up with him and confront him. At this point, it seemed like he wouldn’t care if news of my death reached his ears.We have never really been best buddies, but he is my father after all. He should at least show some care. Some flicker of it.I pursed my lips as I headed back to the castle, swallowing down
