LOGINTricia / Seraphina’s POVAfter the appointment, Caspian cleared his schedule.“I’m done for the day,” he told his guards when they tried to follow him out of the medical center. “Unless the kingdom is on fire, I don’t want to hear it.”For the first time in years, I felt like I could breathe. The appointment at the royal medical center had left me emotionally exhausted, but in the best way possible.At least I finally had real answers, not Maxwell telling me I wasn’t trying hard enough. The weight of three years of self-hatred felt lighter somehow.As Caspian drove us back towards the palace, I found myself staring out the window.My hand rested on my lap and a moment later, another hand covered it.I glanced sideways but Caspian wasn’t even looking at me, his eyes remained on the road but his thumb brushed lightly against my knuckles. “You’ve been quiet.”I smiled.“There she is.”“What?”“That smile.”I rolled my eyes.“You’re ridiculous.”“You like me.”My cheeks heated.“I tolera
Tricia / Seraphina’s POVThe next morning, I woke up feeling strangely refreshed.For the first time in years, there was no anxiety sitting on my chest the moment I opened my eyes.No fear of being insulted, no fear of doing something wrong and no fear of hearing Maxwell’s voice tearing me apart before breakfast.I stared at the ceiling for a moment before slowly sitting up.A smile found its way onto my face when I noticed the small note waiting on the bedside table.Good morning, my Luna.Take care of yourself while I’m gone.I’ll see you tonight.— CaspianI rolled my eyes despite smiling. This man really thought he was funny. A knock sounded on the door. I dragged myself out of bed and opened the door. Emelda was standing there in leggings and a crop top, hair in a messy bun, holding two cups of coffee. She shoved one into my hands.“Drink. We need to move. Mom booked you at the royal medical center at nine.you’re getting full workup Blood, scans, Everything.”“Get dressed.”I blin
Tricia / Seraphina’s POVThe moment the dining hall doors closed behind Caspian, Emelda was on her feet.“Alright,” she said, clapping her hands. “Up. We’re leaving.”“What?” I blinked at her. “Now?”“Now,” she said, grabbing my hand and pulling me out of my chair. “Caspian said spoil you, Mom said makeover and I said shopping so the stars have aligned. We’re going.”“I can’t,” I said immediately as panic hit me. “I can’t spend his money. He gave me that black card and I—”Emelda stopped walking and turned to me. She stared for a second, then burst out laughing. “Oh, Moon Goddess. You’re serious.”“I am serious,” I said. My fingers tightened around the card in my pocket. “This is too much. I don’t even know what’s on it. What if I overdraw it? What if—”“Seraphina,” Emelda said, still laughing. “Caspian is one of the richest men in the world. Do you know what he makes in an hour?”“No.” I answered, almost shivering. “More than you could spend in a day,” she said. “ even If you bough
Tricia / Seraphina’s POVBy the time I finished getting dressed, I was already bored.Apparently, being the future Luna of Ironmoor came with strange rules.One of those rules was that I wasn’t allowed to do anything, no cooking, no cleaning, no running errands,no organizing events and for some reasons I loved it. The palace omegas had practically chased me out of the kitchen. I still couldn’t decide whether that was sweet or annoying, probably both.Since I had nothing better to do, I decided to find Emelda.The servant assigned to me smiled politely when I asked where she was.“Princess Emelda is at the training center, Your Majesty.”“Can you take me there?”“Of course.”A few minutes later, I was being escorted through the palace grounds. The training center turned out to be much larger than I expected.The moment we stepped inside, the sounds hit me, I heard Metal clashing, wolves sparring and Instructors shouting commands.I barely had time to take everything in before I spotted
Tricia / Seraphina’s POVThe moment the bedroom door closed behind me, the silence became dangerous because for the first time all night, there was nothing left to distract me from the fact that I was alone with her mate.The sound of the shower was a torture.I stood in the middle of Caspian’s bedroom, staring at the bathroom door, and every nerve in my body was on fire. My wolf was pacing, restless, and loud. She had been quiet and starved for years. Maxwell hadn’t touched me in close to two years, not even a kiss. He said I disgusted him and that he couldn’t look at me.Now my mate was ten feet away, naked, and somehow my body remembered what it was like to want.The air felt thick. I was horny as hell, and I hated it. I hated that my body could betray me like this. My wolf was practically losing its mind.“Kiss him.”I rolled my eyes.“Not this again.”“Kiss him.”“No.”“Kiss him.”I groaned.“You are impossible.”My wolf huffed dramatically.“You already kissed him before.”“That
Tricia / Seraphina’s POVThe question hit me like a physical blow, my heart stopped and then immediately started racing.Panic flooded through me so quickly that I couldn't think or breathe, I couldn’t even process anything at that point. My knees hit the marble floor immediately. “I’m sorry,” I said, and my voice was shaking. “I’m sorry. I should have told you. I didn’t mean to deceive you. Please, I—”“Seraphina,” the Queen gasped.Her hands were on me instantly trying to lift me up. The Queen grabbed my arms and pulled me up, her face horrified. “Child, what are you doing? Stop that. Stop that right now.”I couldn’t stop shaking. “I’m sorry. I’ll leave. I didn’t want to cause trouble. I didn’t want to—”“You have done nothing wrong,” the Queen said fiercely. She held my face in her hands, forcing me to look at her. Do you hear me? You do not kneel in my house, not for anything.”Caspian was beside me with his arm around my waist, steadying me. “Mother, let me explain.”“Explain,”
