LOGINGrayson’s POVI watched Clara walk out through the front door and slamming the door shut behind her. The sound echoed through the house, followed by silence so thick it irritated me.I dropped on the cushion behind me, and for a moment I remained there, staring at nothing.“Damn it,” I muttered harshly as reality dawned on me. Clara had left. And not only did she leave, she left with all her belongings.The image of her terrified face earlier replayed vividly inside my head. The way her hands trembled. The tears in her eyes. The way she looked at me like she no longer knew who I was. That disturbed me a lot. Because my intention wasn't to make her scared of me.I dragged a hand down my face. I shouldn’t have brought those heads to her.Shit. What was I thinking then?I had been careful for years. But now one stupid moment of distraction had Clara terrified of me.And Bran…A bitter scoff escaped me.That man was doing everything to implicate me so he could use the opportunity to get
Alpha Bran's POV “Alpha—” the guard called, but the link snapped abruptly. And then there was silence.“Speak,” I ordered through the link and was met with silence again.I slowed inside the hallway, leading toward my office. And reached for the mindlink again, but I was blocked me.That meant only two things. Either the guard had blocked me himself or Grayson caught him and did something to him. I doubted the first option. He wouldn't block me.It must be that Grayson caught him. And now he was unconscious, lying somewhere in his house.A smirk tugged at my lips. Everything was happening just as I planned.Men like Grayson who are smart and well coordinated, are difficult to catch without patience. To get them, you have to sit back and watch as them get desperate. The more desperate they became, the easier they leave traces.And if he truly has my guard hidden in his house? Then he was making a huge mistake and would be paying for breaking my rules soon. I resumed walking through
Alpha Bran’s POV “Alpha, she came with her belongings. And she doesn’t look well. She started crying immediately she met Serafine.”My steps slowed.Crying?Clara had looked terrified back at Grayson’s house, but her crying?I sighed before responding coldly, “Let her be for now.”“Yes, Alpha.”The mindlink ended. Why would Clara suddenly leave Grayson’s house like that? And with her belongings too.Something must have happened after we left.Or perhaps something had already happened before we arrived there.“What is it?” Aric asked suddenly beside me.I glanced sideways at him. “Clara.”“What about her?” “She's at my house.”Shock flashed openly across his face before he quickly masked it. But I caught it already.“She came to see Serafine,” I added while watching him. “Apparently with her belongings.”Aric didn't seem happy with the news.I tilted my head. “You don’t look happy hearing that.”His eyes snapped toward me. “Why would I care?”A scoff almost escaped me. “You tell me.
Alpha Bran’s POVAric glanced at me after every few seconds as we moved through the path leading away from Grayson’s house. Noon was approaching. The heat from the sun had become hotter.The air was warm against my skin, carrying the scent of pine, damp earth, and blood that still lingered unpleasantly in my mind.Grayson was smart. He wouldn't have expected I knew the sack was hidden somewhere in his house while he brought out another to show us. He really underestimated me. Behind Aric and I, a few guards followed silently.Aric finally broke the silence. “Are we really just leaving?”I glanced sideways at him. His face was hard with frustration, his brows drawn tightly together.“What would you have done in my place?” I asked calmly.Aric scoffed. “Anything except walking away from a suspicious man carrying mysterious bags around his house.”I said nothing. The image replayed itself in my head again.Grayson descending the stairs, holding tight the sackcloth bag. The strong scen
Serafine’s POV“I think Grayson has gone crazy.”I stared at Clara, certain I had heard her wrong. Grayson? Crazy?Out of everyone I've known so far, Grayson was the last person I would describe that way. Strange sometimes? Yes. Secretive? Definitely. But crazy enough for Clara to look this terrified? I couldn’t picture it.My brows pulled together as I reached for her trembling hands. They were ice cold.“Clara, what happened?”She swallowed hard again. I could see the hesitation in her eyes like she was debating whether to tell me or not. After another second, she began to speak. The more she spoke, the more the horror inside me grew.At first, I thought she was exaggerating from panic. But as she explained waking up to the smell of blood inside her room, my stomach tightened. Then she told me about the severed heads. My face drained of color immediately.“What?” I whispered.Clara nodded weakly, tears gathering in her eyes again. “Three heads, Serafine. Sitting on the table besid
Serafine’s POVMorning sunlight filtered softly through the curtains, warming the room. I woke up feeling much better.Although my mind was still a complete mess after everything that happened yesterday. I blinked slowly against the sunlight while lying still under the blankets. Then I realised the sharp pain in my ankle yesterday was missing.My brows furrowed as I pushed myself upright against the pillows before pulling the sheets away from my legs.I was shocked to find that the swelling and soreness was gone. My eyes remained at my ankle in disbelief before grabbing it with both hands, checking for any soreness. There was none.I twisted my foot cautiously more than twice and didn't feel any pain.“What the hell…” I mumbled.Yesterday I could barely stand properly. But now my legs was perfectly fine.It was all thanks to Grayson. My mind flashed back to yesterday evening. Him crouching in front of me while his hands remained around my ankle. The strange warmth I felt spreading
Serafine's POVI looked up at Bran's sleeping face. He had just given me another mind-blowing orgasm. I laughed myself in my head for being reluctant and scared when he started, only to enjoy it later. Although I was scared that he would force me. He didn't. This was our second time of intimacy an
Alpha Bran’s POV No other wolf dared to come between the fight of two Alphas. They formed a circle around us as if waiting for one of us to die. It was good that I faced this situation. I would kill Jace today and then claim his territory as mine."What have you done to Saskia?" I hissed"I don't
Alpha Bran's POV I went and stood behind her, watching every drop of water flow down her body. She had the most enticing body one could think of. So this was what the Moon Goddess had in store for me? She was so short, yet had great curves.Her hips were rounded and so plump that I couldn't help
Alpha Bran’s POV“Alpha—” she gasped.I didn’t slow. I dragged her down the corridor, ignoring the startled looks from the guards and servants who wisely looked down or turned their faces away. The door to my room flew open, and I shoved her inside before slamming it shut behind us.The walls vibrat
