LOGINSeraphina’s POVHe kissed me like the world outside Ironmoor didn’t exist. When he finally pulled back, his forehead rested briefly against mine, his breath warm and steady. “Would you spend some time alone with me?” he asked. His voice was low, almost hesitant. “In my private house, the one in the woods just… us.”My heart stuttered. “I want to bond with you properly,” he continued, his eyes searching mine. “My wolf practically rolled over inside me, tail wagging. Yes. Mate. Mate. . You’re getting spoiled, she teased me. Admit it. You just want more of last night, more of him.I nearly choked.I shoved her down, but my face was already hot. “You’re getting way too comfortable,” I muttered under my breath.Caspian tilted his head. “What did you say?”“Nothing.”A small smile tugged at his lips like he already knew.“I wouldn’t mind,” I said, trying to sound unaffected but I failed. My voice came out breathless.The moment the words left my mouth, something in his expression change
Seraphina's POV "You don't even have to answer that. I know the sex was horrible." I pulled the sheet up higher, not meeting his eyes."What was I even expecting, honestly. I'm fat, and my body is disgusting, look at the folds, Caspian, just look. I couldn't even lift my legs up properly. Couldn't give you different positions, couldn't switch it up, I just lay down there like a log of wood”Tears flooded my eyes as I remembered all of Maxwell's horrible words to me whenever we had sex."You've probably been with women who know how to ride your senses out completely, I know I'm boring and useless in bed, you don't have to say it…”"Are you done?” Caspian asked, almost looking bored.Before I could answer, he was already on the bed, then, without a word, he reached over and flipped me onto my stomach.My back arched on its own and I heard him exhale slowly above me.….”is this…” His palm traced the line of my spine all the way down to the small of my back. "What, you call this not bein
Tricia / Seraphina’s POVI woke up aching every muscle and every inch of me. A deep, satisfying soreness that made me bite my lip and pull the blankets higher over my head. Moon Goddess.Memories hit me in flashes. The office, his desk and his mouth on my neck. His voice saying my name like a prayer. My wolf stretched inside me, smug and utterly sated. More, she demanded. Mate. Again. “Shut up,” I whispered into the pillow, my face burning. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe I actually… with him. That I wanted it and that I begged for it.I buried my face deeper into the pillow and groaned. What was wrong with me? I was an Alpha. I was supposed to have control but one night with Caspian Voss and I was reduced to a blushing mess.I could not believe I actually had sex with him after everything that happened with Maxwell, after everything I had sworn to myself.I had finally let someone in again.And somehow that someone happened to be the ridiculously attractive Lycan King who
Tricia / 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
