Chapter 24: He Notices

Author: Vee
last update Last Updated: 2025-12-06 14:29:30

I'm trying to act normal at breakfast, but the vision from last night keeps replaying in my mind.

Your grandmother wants to meet you.

Or perhaps we'll simply take what we need from you.

My hands shake slightly as I reach for my coffee, and I spill some on the table.

"Sera?"

Kade's voice pulls me back to the present. He's watching me from across the table with concern etched on his face. We're in his private dining area—I've been sleeping in his quarters for the past week, though still on the couch. Taking things slow, letting the relationship develop naturally.

But right now, I don't feel natural. I feel terrified.

"I'm fine," I lie automatically.

Through the mate bond, I feel his disbelief. He can sense my anxiety, my fear, the way my heart is racing.

"You're not fine. You've been distracted all morning." He sets down his own cup and comes around the table to kneel beside my chair. "Talk to me. Is this about the vision?"

I nod, not trusting my voice.

"Tell me everything. Don't leave

  • Bound To The Alpha Who Hates Me    Chapter Twenty-five: The Bond Tightens

    [Kade's POV] The morning of the marking ceremony, I wake up with Sera in my arms. She's still asleep, her face peaceful, her hair spread across my chest. I didn't move, neither did I wanted to wake her; just wanted to memorize this moment—the last morning before everything becomes permanent. I'm not nervous. I'm terrified. Not of marking her. I want that more than I want my next breath. But I'm terrified of failing her. Of not being the mate she deserves. Of the Silverwoods coming and all that... As if sensing my thoughts, Sera stirs. Her eyes flutter open, and when she sees me already awake and watching her, she smiles. "How long have you been awake?" Her voice is rough with sleep. "A while." She paused thoughtfully before saying, "Nervous?" "Terrified," I admit honestly. She props herself up on one elbow, studying my face. "Of marking me?" "Of everything after. Of not being enough for you." Her hand cups my cheek, her thumb stroking my skin. "You're already e

  • Bound To The Alpha Who Hates Me    Chapter 23: I'm Stronger Than I Look

    Riley insists on testing my new abilities the next morning."Come on," she says, practically dragging me to the training grounds at dawn. "You unlocked ancient goddess powers yesterday. We need to see what you can actually do.""I'm still figuring it out myself," I protest, but I follow her anyway. Truth is, I'm curious too. I can feel the power humming under my skin, waiting to be used.The training grounds are empty this early, which is good. The last thing I need is an audience while I potentially make a fool of myself."Okay, first test: strength." Riley points to the training weights—massive iron bars that the strongest warriors use for conditioning. "Try lifting that one."It's easily three hundred pounds. Before yesterday, I couldn't have budged it. But now, when I grasp the bar, it feels manageable. Not light, but definitely liftable.I hoist it overhead with effort but without the struggle I expected."Holy shit," Riley breathes. "That's Alpha-level strength. Maybe stronger."

    [Sera's POV]Three days after Vivienne's arrest, Mora from the library requests to see me privately.The message comes through Beta Catherine, who seems confused by it. "The old librarian wants a meeting with you. She says it's urgent and personal. Should I tell her you're too busy?""No, I'll meet with her." I'm curious—Mora has been kind to me since I arrived, but we've never been close enough for "urgent and personal" meetings.I find her in a private reading room in the library, surrounded by ancient books and scrolls. She looks nervous, her hands fidgeting with the edge of her shawl."Luna Sera, thank you for coming." She gestures to a chair across from her. "Please, sit. What I'm about to tell you... it's been weighing on me for twenty years."My stomach tightens with anticipation. "What is it?"Mora takes a deep breath. "I knew your mother. Celeste. She was my best friend."The world tilts slightly. "You knew my mother?""Yes. We grew up together, trained together, were insepar

    [Sera's POV]I wake up to sunlight streaming through the windows and the feeling of being watched.Kade is sitting in a chair beside the bed, a cup of coffee in his hands, just looking at me. Without the curse clouding everything, I can feel exactly what he's feeling through the bond—wonder, nervousness, affection, and a touch of lingering guilt."How long have you been watching me sleep?" I ask, stretching carefully to avoid aggravating my cracked rib."About an hour." He doesn't look embarrassed about it. "I can feel you now. Really feel you. Through the bond. It's... intense.""Good intense or bad intense?""Good. Overwhelming, but good." He sets down his coffee and moves to sit on the edge of the bed. "How's your rib?""Sore, but healing. Dr. Chen said werewolf healing should have it mostly fixed in a few days." I sit up slowly. "How are you? After last night?""Honestly? I don't know." He runs a hand through his hair. "I feel lighter, like something heavy that I've been carrying

    Elder Thorne's ritual room looks like something out of an ancient story.Candles line every surface, casting flickering shadows on walls covered in mystical symbols. There's a large circle drawn on the floor in what looks like salt mixed with silver dust. Herbs burn in bowls around the room, filling the air with sharp, earthy scents."Sit here," Elder Thorne instructs, gesturing to a cushion in the center of the circle. "Alpha, you'll sit facing her."Kade settles across from me, close enough that our knees almost touch. He's showered since the attack, dressed in clean clothes, but exhaustion lines his face. Between the border battle, rescuing me, and now this—he's running on pure adrenaline and determination."Are you sure you're ready for this?" I ask quietly."I've never been more sure of anything." He takes my hands in his. "Whatever happens, we face it together."Elder Thorne begins arranging items around us—crystals, more candles, a bowl of water from a sacred spring. "The proce
