HER SCENT, HIS UNDOING 0019: A Sudden Invasion.
~Draven~I should be listening to the elder announcing the final blessing. Instead, I am thinking about Seren.Again.I look across the hall. The ceremony is almost over, yet I can barely remember half of what has been said since Drake arrived.My attention keeps returning to the same moment. Drake looking at Seren. Seren freezing and the fear in her eyes.I have seen fear before, but Seren is not the type of woman who scares easily. She challenged me the first time we met. She argued with me in my own quarters. She walked away from me after I ordered her to follow me, and she had the audacity to tell me that being assigned to my quarters did not make her my possession.Yet the moment Drake looked at her, she became completely different. Why?I glance toward the servants’ entrance. She is no longer there. She disappeared before the ceremony even began.My jaw tightens. She has been disappearing far too often.First, she vanished from my quarters without telling anyone. Then Marcel cou
HER SCENT, HIS UNDOING 0018: The Traitors Suspicion
~Seren~My body goes numb. I forget how to breathe, how to move, even how to hold the tray in my hands as the man standing before me looks at me with a faint crease between his brows.“I believe we’ve met before.” The words struck me hard.Alpha.That is what everyone calls him now. Alpha Drake. The man who helped orchestrate the destruction of my family.The man whose name had once been spoken in my home as an ally, a powerful leader, someone my parents trusted enough to welcome through our gates, and my husband. Now, he stands before me wearing the crest of the pack that once belonged to my family— and everyone bows to him.Everyone respects him. Everyone calls him Alpha.The pain that spreads through my chest is so sudden that I nearly lose my balance. I force myself to breathe. If Drake recognizes me, everything Seraphina did will have been for nothing.I took every precaution because there was one person I could never afford to meet like this. Drake.I lower my head immediatel
HER SCENT, HIS UNDOING 0017: Alpha Drake??
~Draven~Before Seren can answer, the doors at the end of the hall open and the conversations immediately begin to fade.One by one, the guests turn toward the entrance, and the servants straighten as the announcement rings through the hall.“Lady Lyra of Northcrest Pack in the Eastern Territories, arrives.”I look toward the entrance.Lyra walks into the hall with the confidence of someone who has never questioned whether she belongs in a room.Every step is measured, every movement deliberate, and the dark emerald fabric of her gown catches the candlelight as she walks between the rows of guests. Her hair is pinned neatly, her expression composed, and there is something about the way she carries herself that tells me she understands exactly what tonight means.This isn’t simply a ceremony to her. It is politics. Power. An alliance and she has clearly prepared herself to play her part.The room bows and I remain seated.My mother watches Lyra approach with a look of satisfaction tha
HER SCENT, HIS UNDOING 0016: The rumor
~Seren~“By the Moon Goddess, I was only gone for a minute.”I turn toward the doorway so quickly that my shoulder nearly knocks against the wall.Marcel stands there, his expression nothing like the amused look I expect.There is no teasing. No raised eyebrow. No smug comment about interrupting whatever disaster Draven and I have managed to create.Instead, his face is serious. “Alpha,” he says, stepping farther into the room. “We have a problem.”Draven’s entire expression changes. Whatever tension had been hanging between us disappears under the cold authority of the Alpha everyone fears, and he straightens immediately.“What happened?”“The ceremony is starting earlier than expected.”My stomach drops. The Ceremony? Already?Marcel nods. “The guests from the other territories arrived earlier than anticipated, and the elders have decided there is no reason to delay the proceedings.”Draven’s jaw tightens. “How long have they been here?”“Thirty minutes.”Thirty minutes? I stare at
HER SCENT, HIS UNDOING 015: Bite.
~Seren~I run.I run through the narrow path behind Seraphina’s house, clutching the hem of my dress in one hand while the other keeps my hair from falling across my face. My lungs burn, my shoes are already covered in dirt, and every few seconds I glance over my shoulder as though someone might suddenly appear behind me.I am supposed to be in the castle. I am supposed to be preparing for a betrothal ceremony.I slow when the castle wall comes into view.The main entrance is impossible. There are guards everywhere because of the ceremony, and I have no intention of walking through the front gates looking suspicious after disappearing for hours.Fortunately, there is another way. A short fence runs along the side of the castle, separating the servants’ path from the gardens. I look around before grabbing the top of it and climbing over.My foot lands awkwardly on the other side. I stumble.“Careful.”I freeze. A butler is standing several steps away and my heart nearly jumps out of my
HER SCENT, HIS UNDOING 014: A-Alpha?
~Draven~ I have spent the last hour listening to the same argument from men who have never had to carry the weight of my father’s death on their shoulders. I sit at the head of the long table, my fingers pressed against the armrest as Elder Rowan speaks. “Alpha, the betrothal ceremony is important for the stability of the pack.” I stare at him. He clears his throat. “Lyra’s family has already arrived, and the Eastern territories are watching this alliance closely.” Another elder nods. “Your marriage will strengthen the relationship between the two packs and prevent unnecessary tension.” I say nothing. They continue speaking as if my life is a political arrangement written on a piece of parchment and it annoys me. “Perhaps you should simply compose yourself,” Elder Marcus says. “You have been under considerable pressure since taking your father’s position.” My jaw tightens. “I am perfectly composed.” The elder gives me a cautious look. “You may not feel that way, Alpha.” A fe

(Draven)I leaned back in the chair, placing my palm on my forehead. Nothing about the situation felt stable enough to trust. Marcel stood by me with his arms folded, watching me with an expression when I wanted to do something he already disapproved of.“The bond is active,” he said again. “There’

~Seren~ I didn’t understand what was happening to my body. That was the first honest thought that cut through the storm inside my head as Alpha Draven’s hand stayed wrapped around my wrist. He was holding me in place against the wall of his private chamber. His eyes did not leave mine…not even
HER SCENT, HIS UNDOING Chapter 003: The pull
~Seren~“Keep your head down, speak only when spoken to, and do not—under any circumstances draw attention to yourself.”Gwen’s voice was sharp and completely uninterested in whether I lived or died in this pack.I adjusted the sleeve of the maid uniform that swallowed my arms like it had been stit

~Seren~ ( 3 months ago)“I'm sorry, Mrs Seren…your parents did not survive the attack on the eastern ridge.”The doctors words didn't feel right when they first entered my ears, almost as if he had spoken in another language my heart refused to translate. I stared at him from the chair I hadn't re
