Cursed by Fate, Bound by Mates

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

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

SERAPHINARem peeked over the supernaturals currently struggling on the ground. At the same time, the other customers were wary after seeing a preview of what would happen if they acted up in this club.“Oh, one of them is still fighting it. He’s pretty sturdy. I haven’t seen one who could endure that long,” he casually commented as if he was watching something so amusing.I glared at him and quickly went out of the counter to help the alpha. I pulled him up, using practically all of my strength. I managed to wrap his arm around me.“Sera, you can’t leave again,” Rem argued.“You handled it well earlier. You can do it again.” I said, pulling this alpha out of the club. The ward’s effect would last for an hour. It was enough for the security to handle the troublemakers, but I tried to pull him out of the club quickly.He was still out of it by the time we went out of the club’s premises. I let him lean on a wall, shaking him awake.“Hey,” I muttered, slightly slapping his face, “It’s j

SERAPHINAI looked at myself in the mirror. “What are you doing? Why are you still here?” I asked myself.My reflection stared back at me, frowning in confusion, worry, and fear. Still, I remained completely still. I should be running away by now, dropping everything, and finding somewhere else to go and hide.Someone apart from the Velvet Fang knew exactly who I was, where I came from, and what I could do. That bastard still hadn’t answered most of my questions, but he wouldn’t budge. He’s not even scared when I say I’ll report him to security. He left, but it doesn’t mean he was scared, and I’m sure as heck he will be back.I embraced myself, feeling lost about my own feelings. I’m scared, but at the same time, something tells me he wasn’t a threat… or maybe that’s just how I ease myself because deep inside, I didn’t want to leave my current life.Two years, I finally got the peace I hadn’t felt in years, trapped in that coven’s lair. Finally, I got the chance to move on and live id

SERAPHINAI diligently cleaned the counter when the last customer left the bar. It wasn’t unusual that there were slower nights, but I can’t sit still at all. I can’t forget what happened yesterday.After so many years, I was able to shift without the full moon. I was able to run freely and felt so light after. It's one of the moments I don't feel dread about myself.It didn’t last long. I could only sustain my wolf form for about two hours or so before it became laborious doing so, but in that short time, I was able enjoy and genuinely feel free with my own body.All thanks to River.“You’re smiling. Is it the end of the world?”The smile on my face dropped in an instant. Another werewolf staff member in the club approached the bar. He’s done with his shift and could order from the bar now.“Shut up, or I will mess with your drink.” I threatened, but he just laughed and took his seat. Carl didn’t even bother saying what he wanted, as he always gets the same thing anyway.“No, serious
