Seraphina's POV

I was scrolling through the photos on my phone when I smelled the shift in the air.

Mortimer's pheromones, which had been leveling out, suddenly went jagged and acrid. It was the scent of a predator grinding its teeth in the dark.

My heart did a nervous skip—I thought his hand had started bleeding again, so I snapped my head toward him.

He looked like a thunderstorm. He was radiating a massive, toxic low-pressure zone, like he was holding back a riot.

I almost asked him if the pa

    Third Person's POVBut L.A. real estate was notoriously cutthroat. On her salary as a healer alone, there was zero chance she could afford a down payment in the short term.Still, she could always ask her parents for a loan.Seraphina ran the numbers in her head, determined to cut off any remaining excuse to rely on Mortimer.Mortimer watched her fall silent, his elite senses telling him that her defense was finally starting to crack.Deciding to push his advantage, he leaned in, his voice dropping into a smooth, persuasive baritone. "Look, per our agreement, once the bond is officially dissolved, I'm giving you several fully furnished luxury condos in the best zip codes in L.A. But until then, for Dash's own safety, why don't you guys just crash at the estate? What do you think?"Dissolve the mating bond?Wilmot, who had been quietly driving, white-knuckled the steering wheel. His eyebrows did a violent twitch."Wait, you guys are seriously getting a divorce?"Mortimer cut his eyes o

    Third Person's POV"Wilmot, go drive the car."Just as Wilmot was busy putting a hex on Mortimer in his head, that arrogant, entitled command hit his ears again.Wilmot threw him a look of pure, unadulterated disgust. But under the heavy weight of Mortimer's terrifying pressure, he still ended up shuffling his feet and heading outside to play chauffeur.Mortimer kept his face dark, his powerful arms forming a rock-solid cradle for Dash.He used his long legs to stride out of the medical center.His arms were steady as iron, carrying the puppy without a single wobble.Maybe because Mortimer was the guy who had jumped into a disgusting storm drain without a second thought to haul him out, the fragile puppy had developed a totally defenseless sense of trust and dependency on him.Dash just lay there against his broad chest, completely still.His bright little eyes were locked dead onto Mortimer, staring at him like he was a savior who had literally dragged him out of hell.Watching Dash'

    Third Person's POVThe fact that he'd spent half the night screaming at Seraphina over a literal dog only made the raging fire in his chest burn hotter.The sole culprit behind this entire disaster was Velda—that absolute, incurable idiot of a woman.As Mortimer stood there boiling with a mix of fury and embarrassment, Wilmot twisted the knife one more time. "Oh, man. Slicing off your own dignity and forcing a make-believe cuckold fantasy onto your own head? That must be an incredible feeling."Mortimer's gorgeous face went completely black. The temperature in the corridor dropped straight to zero.He turned his head, his gaze cutting into Wilmot with zero warmth left—only a vicious, venomous counterattack. "You seem pretty thrilled. Why? Did Trista finally agree not to void that holy bond contract of yours?"The smirk on Wilmot's face froze instantly.His expression turned charcoal-black at a speed visible to the naked eye. The veins in his forehead bulged as he spit the words throug

    Third Person's POVDash moved uncomfortably, his instincts telling him to crawl closer to Seraphina's warm embrace.But even that tiny movement pulled at his injuries, forcing a sharp cry of agony from his throat.Seraphina felt her lungs tighten with a suffocating pity. She immediately threw her black puffer jacket over the puppy's shivering body.Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, grounding her wolf and letting her focus center.She placed both hands gently above Dash's matted fur, her palms beginning to glow with a soft, warm light.Her pure healing energy flowed cleanly into his skin, soothing the worst of the trauma.Her eyes were entirely wet with tears as she kept her voice low and steady. "You're okay, you're okay... Dash, you're a good boy. We're going to see a doctor right now. Just be brave for me, okay?"A few feet away, Mortimer stood with a rigid posture, his sharp, predatory eyes cutting a sideways glance at Wilmot, who was leaning against a wall with his arms c

    Third Person's POVAt a time like this, Seraphina didn't have the energy to argue with Mortimer about who was going down into the pit.Her entire universe had shrunk to one single goal: getting Dash out of there alive.She threw all her dignity out the window, kneeling right in the mud by the edge of the drain and leaning half her body inside to get closer to the puppy.Sensing the puppy's sheer, life-threatening terror, Seraphina took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and reached deep into her subconscious to wake her wolf.A faint trace of her pheromones—the clean, crisp scent of oakmoss after a rain—drifted gently down into the narrow, dark shaft.It was like the puppy caught his owner's scent on the wind. The tiny golden retriever, who had been curled into a shivering ball in the filthy water, felt that warm, protective energy, and the dying panic in his eyes finally started to melt away."Be a good boy, Dash. Don't be scared. I'm right here. You're going to be okay, baby."Down at

    Third Person's POVAfter screaming her lungs out, Seraphina didn't grant Mortimer another look.She took a deep breath, lowering her head again to force herself to calmly scroll through the missing pet updates on Twitter.Right then, in a quiet corner of the dark street, a tiny, incredibly faint whimper echoed.Seraphina's fingers completely froze over her phone screen.She whipped her head up, her ears twitching as she tracked the incredibly quiet sound.But looking around, there was nothing but the howling cold wind.The sound had been too short—so short that Seraphina started wondering if her high anxiety was making her hallucinate.But even if it was a false hope, she had to chase it.Seraphina took a deep breath, calling out toward the pitch-black bushes."Dash? Dash, are you in there? Can you make a sound for me, please?"This time, there were two distinct, rapid responses!The dull, hopeless look in Seraphina's eyes instantly turned into pure, ecstatic shock.She heard it!That
