"I can't do this, Kael. Working with you... being near you... it's too much." "Seraphia, I know I've hurt you. But we need to find out who killed your sister. We need to stop this darkness before it consumes us all." "You don't get it. It's not just about the investigation. It's about us. You broke my heart, Kael" He stepped closer, "And I regret it every day. But fate has brought us back together for a reason. We have to trust in that, no matter how hard it is." "Maybe fate is wrong," "Or maybe, fate is giving us a second chance." Their lips met in a kiss that was both desperate and tender. ****** Living in the shadow of her brilliant sister was something Lily had grown accustomed to, even if it left her feeling like the family outcast. Her sister, Thalia was the golden girl - beautiful, sexy, and the center of attention while Sera was the chubby and nerdy one. When her sister is mysteriously murdered, Sera's life is turned upside down, and she's forced to work alongside her sister's husband - her ex boyfriend, the man who shattered her heart. hings becomes more complicated when the goddess decides to fuck her over by making him her fated mate, only adding to her turmoil. One thing was for sure. They might be fated, but there's no way she would allow that to mean anything. There was no way she would have anything to do with her dead sister's husband. Especially not the same man who had broken her heart so badly - ever again. But what's to be her fate when, despite her will to fight destiny, she keeps finding herself drawn to him? And what's to be her fate when their investigation leads to dangerous and life threatening discoveries?
View More“Oh there you are, Sera!,” My mother beamed as I walked into the sitting room dragging my wet umbrella behind me.
“Hi mum.” I made to hug her but stopped when I saw that my whole family were gathered in the sitting room - including my boyfriend, Kael.
My brow raised in surprise. He never told me he was coming over. Fuck I've been texting him all day but he never responded.
Was everything okay?
But judging from the grin on my parent's face, everything was perfectly fine.
But what's going on?
“Come on in dear. Come in. We have got great news.”
“Exciting one!” Dad quipped in and I raised my brow as I took off my coat and followed my mother into the sitting room.
“What's going on?”
Kael was seated beside my sister and he was the only one not smiling.
No - instead he's trying as much as possible to avoid my gaze.
Which just raised my suspicions because seriously - what was going on?
“Okay, so hit me! What's the good news?”
“Your sister Thalia here and Kael are engaged! They are to wed next week.”
I blinked and turned to my mum with eyes wide open. Surely I didn't hear her right.
“What?” I breathed, my heart suddenly beating faster.
“Kael and I just got engaged. We are to wed next week.” Thalia said, and I shook my head in disbelief.
Kael.
As in, Kael, my boyfriend?
But..how?
“Oh I'm so excited. There is so much that we need to plan, so much.”
I stared at my mother, dumbfounded at her reactions.
Was she for real?
What on earth is going on?
Kael is my boyfriend. My. Boyfriend and -
I turned my gaze to him but he averted his gaze and stared fixedly on the floor.
“I…I don't understand.. understand.” I stammered standing up from my chair when it became clearer that this was no joke, my head spinning.
“You are marrying my boyfriend?!”
Thalia shrugged, “you mean my fiancé?”
I scoffed in frustration.
How could they all sit here like everything was normal? How could they be happy - rubbing the news to my face?
What the fuck happened?
How did this happen? Kael and I were on a date just last night and now he's marrying my sister?
“This better a joke because goddess help me — “ I turned to my mum and my anger increased “you are excited? You knew about this? You knew Kael is my boyfriend and you are okay with this? You knew they were going out behind my back?”
My mother rolled her eyes as if I was just being ridiculous, “what do you expect us to do? The boy made his choice Sera. You cannot crucify him for choosing.”
My knees almost gave out on me but I steadied my stance - just so I won't embarrass myself by falling in front of them.
“Mother…”
“For god's sake, Sera, do not be so dramatic! The least you could do is be happy for me.” Thalia snapped and I laughed, my vision blurred with tears as I stared at my beautiful sister.
“Happy for you? All my life, Thalia, you have always had it all. The attention, the love, the care. Every single thing and just when I thought I found my own happiness - you couldn't allow me to have that too.” a tear fell and I brushed it off, “and our parents have always supported you. You want my congratulations? Fine! Congratulations! I hope you two rot in hell!!!! I hope you meet death!!”
SERA. “I’m sorry.” Kael murmured, taking long strides towards me, but I moved backwards. I was feeling nauseous with his presence, and without thinking twice, I ran into the room, and quickly dressed up. “Sera wait, just listen to me, I will—.”“Shhh.” I raised my hand in the air silencing him, “I don’t want to hear anything right now. I want to be alone.” I said, without waiting to get a response from him, I marched out of the room. My car was already in the garage, I hopped in and drove off, I checked the rear view mirror, thinking he chased after me but there was no sign of him and it fueled my anger. How could he been thinking of going ahead with the marriage plans when we have so many Creatures hot on our trail. We barely survived the Umbravore the last time and some nullshade who tried to kill Madison. My head was spinning, Kael was one selfish wolf and i shouldnt have trusted him. He does things without thinking how it affects others feelings. I press the acceler
KAEL The ringing tone of my phone jolted me out of my sleep, I groaned lazily, reaching out to the phone on the bedside table and picked the call as I sat upright carefully so as not to wake Sera who was peacefully sleeping. “Boss, I have news.” I heard Gwin—my secret guard say from the other end of the phone. I stood up from the bed, putting a pant on, I moved out from the room. “What’s it?.”“Miss Rebecca was being spotted in Master Elias residence and it’s been twenty four hours she hasn’t left the building.” Gwin said in a calm and steady voice and I nodded in understanding. I knew she would be there from the moment she came to pick Joel up from my house, but it also made me question— was Joel actually my son?. “Do you have any information why she was there?.” I asked, my mind calculating various possibilities of their alliance. “I managed to infiltrate the house later at night and with what I gathered, she’s been Master Elias lover for years and she caught him cheating
SERA “Sera, you’ve been acting strange lately. You barely stay at home and come back late.” My mum’s voice echoed into my ears and I slowly opened my eyes with a groan. It’s haven’t been long I came back from the hospital, I have been taking care of Madison for a week now, although she’s fully recovered, they just want to monitor her a little and ensure she had a proper rest. I was already exhausted from everything going on lately and I needed a good sleep and here She was standing beside my bed with a bowl of cereal, and I sat up with a frown . “I have been busy.” “What’s going on?.” She asked with a worried look, leaning closer to me on the bed. I resisted the urge to shift away from her. “Nothing you need to worry about”, I stood up from the other side of the bed, and walked to my closet, pulling out a black hoodie and joggers, I put started putting it on. I thought coming home will give me some peace but my mom’s presence and questions were suffocating me. “Where are
“Really? Is that what I am to you?.” Rebecca’s voice rang across the room and they froze, surprised to see her, they never expected her to come around. “Becca, what are you doing here?.” Elias asked with an eerie voice as he pulled out from the woman on the bed, covering his lower body with a towel and the woman snorted, rolling her eyes. “What am I doing here?”. She repeated with tears streaming down her face, her gaze moving from Elias to the woman on the bed who laid down like she wasn’t bothered about the drama. “I don’t wish to repeat myself Becca.” Elias said coldly, taking long strides towards her, the scent of sex and sweat hit her nose and she felt nauseous. “Elias, this was why you became so cold and aggressive to me, because of this bitch.” Rebecca pointed her finger to the woman on the bed, her chest rising and falling in a heartbreaking rhythm. “A bitch who is more Resourceful than —.” A slap arrested the remaining words and they all gasped. “Oh—my—god, Elias
KAEL. “I remembered vividly throwing you out of my house Rebecca, so what are you doing here?.” Rebecca didn’t give any response, only taking slow strides towards me, and I narrowed my eyes to observe her next action. “I came to see you.” Rebecca said with a seductive smile, dropping her bag on the couch. “What for?.” I cocked my brows in suspicion, taking a step back from her space.“I want to apologize about the last time, I acted on impulse and I know I did you wrong, I cheated and —.” I held my hand up in the air to silence her, “Enough, Rebecca.you don’t need to apologize anymore, just leave.” “So you have forgiven me?.” She pouted, squinting some cute puppy eyes but it wasn’t cute to me but made me furious and irritated. “Never.” I growled and she flinched with a surprise look. “Can—I see— Joel my son.” She stammered with her eyes down, I pinched the bridge of my nose to stop myself from using my Alpha will to make her disappear. No matter what, she’s Joel’s mother.
SERA. “How are you feeling?.” I asked Maddy with a calm smile as I walked into her ward. She was seriously engrossed reading a book. “Hey Sera, I’m fine.” Maddy replied, closing her book shut, and placing it on the table. “So what do we have here?.” “I brought you chicken broth.” I could see her mouth watering at the sight of the lunchbox, she sat up properly ready to devour her meal. I brought out the little flask of chicken broth and served it before her, she rubbed her hands together with shimmering eyes ready to dig in. “Maddy, take it easy.” I said amidst laughter as Maddy rushed her broth in huge gulps. She finished it in minutes and closed her eyes and licked her lips clean, savoring the sweet taste. “You got to take things slow, okay? Don’t rush your food next time.” I scolded and she nodded firmly. “Good.” Maddy rolled her eyes dramatically and I chuckled, she was such a sweet soul and I keep wondering why someone would want to hurt her.
