Masuk"What is this news we're hearing about BloodMoon?" the pack Gamma asked the moment the meeting started. Valker shot Jason a hard glare before clearing his throat. Filling his voice with authority, he spoke. "I think we should start from the reason we left and what happened before we got there." Everyone agreed with a nod. Fear filled the room because of the power seeping from him. Valker's command allowed no challenge or refusal. The presence of his wolf alone crushed any thought of rebellion. Added to that was the fact that everyone knew Valker could rip someone apart within seconds if pushed. "Arthur, give them the full report of everything that happened before BloodMoon," he ordered. Arthur rose to his feet and nodded. "After months of dealing with the packs that have now been destroyed and scattered, the same packs we went after to teach a lesson..." Valker listened until Seraphina's scent drifted into his nose. His whole body went alert at once. "What is she doin
Valker walked back and front in his room as he struggle to keep his wolf under control. There were two things it wanted to do. The first was to tear Jason's throat apart. The second was to ravage Seraphina completely until every fibre in her body weakened. When he got back to the pack, he quickly understood that a connection had formed between him and Seraphina. It was this connection that allowed him to sense and know her thoughts. It was the same connection that let him know another man was hanging around her and putting his hands on her. Even though he hid it well, he was shocked, and while still trying to process the situation, Jason touched her, thrice! It affected him more than he could handle, and his wolf burst free. Naturally, when Jason finally answered his call, he put on a teasing smile on his face while acting as if he had no clue why Valker was angry. Valker was sure the only reason he had not ended his life was because of their bond; Jason was his Beta and companion.
Gradually, Seraphina's worry started fading that she could now breathe properly. The EbonClaw Packhouse was the most beautiful place she had ever seen. Her bedroom was even more unbelievable. When Emma brought her into the spacious room that now belonged to her, she could only stare in awe. There was no way such an elegant and stylish room was meant for her. Emma shot her a strange look before guiding her farther inside and showing her where her belongings had already been arranged inside the wardrobe. "Oh my goodness. It's five times bigger than my old room," Seraphina exclaimed when she saw the large, fashionable room. Then suddenly, Seraphina felt uneasiness coursed through her. Questions about Valker's intentions to her filled her head. "Don't think about it too much. Alpha Valker has always been generous with women, and it looks like you're his newest interest. Don't stress. It'll pass. And if all this feels too much, you can always return to a simple life," Emma said, makin
Seraphina still felt like she was dreaming with everything unfolding around her. The women from the EbonClaw pack arrived after the ritual, helped her gather her few belongings, loaded everything into the back of the luxurious looking vehicles they came with, and took her away. Some of EbonClaw's scouts shifted into their wolf forms and raced ahead of them. Others stayed beside the cars. Seraphina caught glimpses of their coats as they ran beside the speeding vehicles. Alpha Valker and the others were following behind in their wolf form as well. Seraphina barely paid attention to any of it. Her body moved through the motions, her eyes remained open, and she answered when spoken to and followed instructions, but her thoughts felt far away. Without her wolf helping her, she would have struggled to function. Even after her long run in the woods, where she tried hard to sort through everything happening in her life, everything still felt like she was dreaming. Maybe that was a good th
"How is everything now?" Valker asked Arthur, who was busy directing their warriors and sentries. "With BloodMoon's Alpha? Nothing much. He locked himself inside his room and is nursing his pride. His wolves are furious, though, because you're taking their Luna.""She isn't their Luna," Valker snapped, unable to understand why hearing Seraphina called BloodMoon's Luna always irritated him. It felt wrong somehow. Arthur shrugged."Anyway, they can't do much because they're scared. The leaders have been holding a private meeting ever since. They have plenty to discuss. There's Darius's deception, the matter of the allies we killed, and what happened today.They haven't gathered their warriors yet, but they're in a difficult spot. We killed envoys from their allied packs, and those packs expect revenge if you leave BloodMoon alive.BloodMoon fears a battle with us, but if they ignore what happened today, they'll have to face their allies, who may turn against them."Valker laughed."Ter
Seraphina remained glued to the spot, unable to move as shock held her body still. The things she had just heard kept repeating inside her head. She gripped the edge of her gown so hard, trying to steady herself. Had that truly happened? The countless thoughts inside her mind grew louder, as if she had been dropped into boiling water. Nothing could explain the storm raging inside her. The man she believed was meant to be her mate, the one who should have protected her, had broken her heart by giving her away. Her lips parted, yet no sound came out. The pain inside her was greater than any beating or suffering she had faced in BloodMoon. She stood there, lost and confused. How could her mate do this? Weren't mates supposed to stay together forever? Wasn't he meant to challenge the Alpha of the EbonClaw pack and deny everything Alpha Valker had said? Mates were supposed to share an unbreakable bond. During her years in BloodMoon, Seraphina had seen wolves fight fiercely for their ma
LORA'S POV “What do you mean I am not going?” I asked, and the shock in my voice was clear as I stepped closer to Jasper. I felt his choice settle deep inside me, shocking and disappointing. “You heard me. I meant every word,” he answered in a steady and firm voice and his eyes were cold, as if h
LORA'S POV I did not sleep well last night. The memory of what happened between Jasper and me at the lake would not leave my mind. Each time I tried to rest, it returned and forced my eyes open.I hate that he affects me this way. It angers me that I am the one lying awake while he likely slept in
LORA'S POVI walked ahead with firm steps, my feet hitting the ground harder than necessary, while Jasper followed a short distance behind me as we returned to the cabin. He kept space between us, and he had not spoken since our intense moment outside. I was thankful for that silence because I did
LORA'S POV I gasped and breathed in air quickly the second his mouth left mine. This kiss was not like the first one we shared. Now, It was rough, urgent, and full of need that it left my whole body shaking. His hands held me tight, as if something inside of home would break if he let me go. I
