Serafine's POV

The elevator stopped with a soft chime. Gamma Bane stepped out first. I followed.

The floor we were on was nothing like the lower levels. It was spacious, quiet, the air smelled of cedar and oud. A single hallway stretched ahead with a huge double door at the end.

Gamma Bane knocked once.

“Enter,” a deep voice said from inside.

It belonged to him. My pulse hammered.

Gamma Bane pushed the door open, and I walked into the office.

I froze.

The man sat behind a large glass desk with

  • SOLD TO THE ALPHA WHO HATES ME   Chapter one hundred and thirty five

    Serafine’s POV Three days ago, I was standing in the middle of a corridor at the hospital, looking at the glaring faces of the pack members clustered around me. “That’s her. The rumored Alpha’s mate.”“So it's true.”“I think it is.”Their voice sounded from every corner as they didn’t even bother to lower their voices.The word MATE had echoed in my skull like a drumbeat.But at that moment, my mind was clouded with concern for Bran. And all I could think of was him. So it was difficult for me to understand what the people were saying.Mate? What did they mean?A strong hand grabbed my shoulder. I turned quickly, gasping, and met Grayson. His brows were drawn tight, his eyes scanning my face. “Serafine, what are you doing here?”His voice sounded distant. Warped. Like it was traveling through water.I stared at him, but I wasn’t seeing him. I was seeing the ward door behind him.Bran was inside.“Serafine?” Grayson’s voice sharpened. But it still felt like an echo.Grayson’s hand

    Serafine’s POV“Aishh!” I hissed as my palm came down hard against my arm. I lifted my hand slowly and saw blood.A smear of red across my skin and the crushed body of a mosquito stuck in the center of it.I swallowed, disgust twisting in my stomach. Even the mosquitoes feasted on me without mercy.I wiped my palm against my dress as the sound of water dropping on water clouded my hearing.The sound had become a rhythm in this cell. My gaze shifted to the hollowed dip in the floor where water had gathered. The puddle had been there for days, growing darker and thicker. The smell rising from it was stale, clinging to the damp air.I tilted my head back and stared at the roof. And saw the cracked spot in the stone ceiling where water slipped through, bead by bead, falling into the small pool below. It wasn’t just the smell that made it unbearable. It was the mosquitoes it was breeding.I folded my legs and wrapped my arms around my knees, pressing my forehead against them. The dampnes

    Alpha Bran’s POVI stepped out of the bathroom, toweling my hair before tossing the towel aside. My suit was already laid out on the bed. Black, tailored to perfection.I dressed quickly. Buttoning my shirt. Putting the cufflinks in order. And then pulled on the black coat. By the time I finished and looked up at my reflection in the mirror, the door opened behind me. And through the mirror, I saw Aric step in.He breathed in relief the moment our eyes met.“Finally,” he muttered under his breath.I smirked and turned around to face him. “How do I look?”He scanned me from head to toe. “Considering you hate suits, you look better in them than any other attire.”A low laugh escaped me. “I suppose some men are simply blessed with extraordinary good looks.”Aric sighed again.“You’re acting like someone who didn’t just wake up from a three-day coma.”I stilled.“Coma?” “That’s what doc called it,” he replied.My gaze sharpened. “What did he say was wrong with me?”“We’ll talk about tha

    Alpha Bran’s POVVoices drifted through the darkness.Muffled at first. Then it got clearer.“Bran… please… Please open your eyes.” I heard Saskia say. Her voice was broken.I tried to move, but my body felt like stone.“The pack members are all in the temple. The guests are here. More are on their way.” she sobbed. “They keep asking for you.”A sharp ache pulsed behind my eyes.“The elders are asking questions. The Alphas from the north arrived an hour ago. I told them you were preparing. I said you were meditating. I said you were in a strategy meeting. I’ve run out of excuses, Bran!” Her grip tightened around my hand.“They’re starting to look suspicious.” There was a pause, then her voice dropped. “My family is also waiting to laugh at me.” A tear landed on my knuckles.“Please… Ryker… please help him wake up.” Her voice cracked harder. “It’s our wedding day. The guests are waiting. I can’t tell them the Alpha is unconscious. I can’t.”Wedding day?The words echoed strangely in my

    Serafine’s POVIf it wasn’t Grayson, then who would buy flowers and a bracelet for me?“Grayson, are you sure you didn’t…” I asked.“Yes, Serafine,” he looked me in the eye. “Did anyone say I sent them?”“The doctor,” I replied slowly. “He came in smiling… said you brought them as a wellbeing gift to me.”Grayson scoffed under his breath. “Wellbeing gift?”There was silence for a moment before Hope broke it.“Then who would send them, if not you?” Hope asked, folding her arms.Grayson glanced at me, forcing a light tone. “Maybe you have a secret admirer.”“And why did that doctor lie to you?” Hope pressed, her brows knitting together.“Come on, don’t stress yourself over it,” Grayson said gently, helping me ease back against the pillows. His hands were warm on my shoulders. “Just focus on recovering fully. I’ll find out who sent the gifts.”“You will?” I asked.He nodded. “Yes.”I breathed in slowly, trying to quiet the unease curling in my stomach.His fingers brushed my bandaged wri

    Unknown POV While driving, I saw Bran’s car reverse at once and raced back in the direction of the hospital.I slowed, staring after him. “Hooh! Where’s he going driving like that?”I was still watching his car disappear when I forced my eyes back to the road, and then I saw Saskia.She was walking hell fast. Fury radiating off her.I slowed immediately and rolled down the passenger window as I pulled up beside her.She turned at the sound of my engine, recognition flashing across her face.“What are you doing here?” she asked.I raised a brow. “What does someone do on the road if not driving or walking somewhere?”She glared at me.I let the car roll forward, then stopped. “Get in. I’m heading to the pack house.”She didn’t answer. And just kept walking like I had not just told her to get in.I exhaled slowly and started driving again, keeping pace with her.“Get in, Saskia. I’m going to the pack house too.”She ignored me for another few seconds before halting. Then she yanked the
