Seraphina

Afternoon light spills across the floor of my room as I stand in front of the tall mirror, the deep crimson dress already settled against my skin. The fabric is heavy and structured, the kind that does not forgive poor posture or hesitation.

I smooth the gown with deliberate hands, then fasten the dark heels. Every movement feels deliberate, like I am armoring myself.

I stare at my own reflection for a long time. There is no turning back now. I can't keep hiding.

  • Lusting For The Wrong Alpha   Chapter 80

    Seraphina I drive until the first roadside restaurant appears on my left, a low building with a half-empty parking lot and a faded sign.I slow the stolen car and scan every vehicle. None of them belong to Evander. His black car is nowhere in sight.Frustration tightens my chest. He hasn't picked up yet.Maybe I should just walk in and inquire if he was here. Maybe he was and has already left.I park at the edge of the lot, kill the engine, and step out. The air smells of oil and fried food but I ignore all that.I push through the glass door and walk straight to the counter.A young woman in a plain uniform looks up, startled by the urgency in my face.“I’m looking for someone,” I say. “Tall, blonde hair, formal clothes. Alpha Evander.. you should know him. Was he here?”She hesitates, glancing toward the back. “There was a man earlier… quiet, expensive coat. He sat in the corner and ordered a bottle. He left with a lady maybe twenty minutes ago.”Wow. Then that's not Evander. I me

    Evander I sit alone at a corner table in a quiet roadside restaurant, the remains of a meal I barely tasted pushed to the side.The glass in front of me is already empty. I refill it from the bottle I ordered and drink again, the burn doing nothing to loosen the knot in my chest.Sixteen days now.That is all that remains before the ritual. Before Kenna will be sacrificed. Fuck! Williams hasn't found another maiden of the eclipse to replace her.Damn it! I don't want to sacrifice her. But if I don't, my sister and the rest of the afflicted will die.The thought sits heavier than the alcohol. I press my thumb against the rim of the glass until the pressure turns sharp.“Alpha Evander.”The voice cuts through the low noise of the restaurant.I look up and I see no other person but Cassie Duskbane standing a few paces from the table. Her dark hair is neatly pulled back, her expression composed but curious.Somehow I don't feel irritated like the way I feel anything I see that disgusting

    SeraphinaOnly a few organizers move through the quiet arena when we enter. The moment they notice us, they straighten and bow deeply.“Alpha Evander. Luna. Alpha Williams. Welcome. We apologize…there was a last-minute adjustment to the schedule. The first matches will begin slightly later than planned.”Evander’s expression darkens. “It seems every other person was informed except us.”The organisers look at themselves confused.“We emailed everyone..” one of them says, still glancing at the rest.“Did you?” Williams says, checking his phone instantly. “Because I don't think I got any mail.”“Neither did I,” Evander adds.There is a moment of silence as everyone just stares at each other.The lead organiser begins shouting at one of them, probably the one in charge of dispensing the info around.“It should be the network.. Sir.” The boy defends but from the way he is fidgeting, one can tell he didn't send out the emails.“It's fine… we are here now.” I say, hoping to calm the tension

    Seraphina Evander doesn’t answer. Instead he keeps his eyes on the road ahead, jaw locked.The silence stretches until it becomes unbearable. Not even Williams is trying to glance at me.Regardless, I turn to Williams, hoping to get answers from him.“What really happened?”He meets my gaze for only a second, saying nothing, then looks away. His expression is carefully blank.A cold knot forms in my stomach. Whatever this is about must be serious to have both of them this tight.I force my face to stay calm, even as my mind races through every worst-case possibility. Could this be about this chip in me? Do they know my real identity now? What exactly is going on?Williams suddenly sits forward. “Wait. Where is Ann?”The question lands heavily. She just suddenly disappeared that her absence wasn't noticed.Williams looks between us as the three of us stare at each other.“She can take care of herself,” Evander says without certainty in his voice.“Can she?” Williams asks, tilting his

    Seraphina The organizer’s voice cuts through the rising murmur.“A short break has been called. Please remain in your seats.”No one remains still. Every head in the upper tiers turns toward the far entrance as the Governor of the Cindersteel Creed advances under heavy escort. His formal robes mark him clearly, and the weight of his presence settles over the arena like a sudden drop in temperature.Instantly, conversations die. Even the restless energy of the crowd stills as he walks directly toward our box.The Governor stops, glances at me then returns his gaze to Evander and bows with measured formality, low enough to show genuine urgency rather than simple respect.“Alpha Evander. Forgive the interruption. This could not wait….. I had to come in person.”Evander’s expression hardens. He turns slightly toward me, voice low enough that only I can hear. “Stay here. I will be back.”Before I can answer, he steps away and leaves the box with the Governor. The escort closes ranks aroun

    Seraphina We return to our seats under the weight of too many eyes. Raze is still watching. The woman wearing my name tracks every step we take.Ann’s expression is tight with leftover satisfaction from whatever she whispered to him.The organizer’s voice carries across the arena with deliberate weight. “Under the old right of challenge, Alpha Raze Duskbane of the GoldenMoon Pack has formally called Alpha Evander to the field. The challenge has been accepted. Combatants, prepare.”The words hit me like a physical blow. Was this what Ann told Raze to do? Is this plan?Evander doesn't even seem surprised. What is going on?For a moment the entire upper tier seems to lean forward at once. Conversations die. The air itself tightens. Raze is already rising from his seat, removing his formal jacket with calm, deliberate movements.Evander remains still for half a second longer, then releases my hand and stands. His expression does not change, but something cold and absolute settles behind

    Seraphina Right in my eyes, my soldiers loyal to me begin to die at the hands of those whose loyalty is obviously bought. I freeze on the spot, not knowing what to do. But one thing is certain, I will not let him win this. I howl so loud, reminding them who their alpha is. I feel my eyes glowin

    Seraphina My whole body trembles, my brows are furrowed. He suddenly looks different from the man I fell in love with three years ago. The man I grew up knowing to be the only person I can trust apart from my father. He takes a deep breath. “You don't have to make this difficult for me...” “I… I

    Seraphina My husband hasn't smiled for the past four days, not even on our wedding night. For years now, I anticipated our wedding night, the day he would finally kiss me and make love to me. I've heard stories about the wedding night, all my maids made it known that it would be the best feeling

    Evander I walk into my room and begin pacing, I should be satisfied but I am nothing close to that. Seven items needed for the ritual and I have only acquired five, one of it isn't even complete.If only time was on my side, then perhaps I would have counted the arrival of the maiden of the Eclips
