LOGINI’m screaming!!!! “That’s my girl!” I love seryn’s so much. She doesn’t need any one holding her back and am hoping no one actually heard them fr.
KAEL POVI returned to the manor more frustrated than when I’d left.The signal we’d traced from the communication device had led us nowhere. I’d spent hours trying to establish where it had gone and how to resolve the issue, but every trail ended the same way. Whoever had sent it knew how to cover their tracks.I headed straight for the Moonwater Room, hoping to find Seryn there. But she wasn’t.“Where is Seryn?” I asked the guard stationed outside.“She’s in the medical wing, Alpha. With her brother.”I stopped.I’d barely returned, and she had already found another reason to leave the room I’d ordered her to stay in.“I left you in charge of watching her, and you allowed her to leave?”The guard straightened. “Alpha, she hadn’t returned from the dining room since you left. I assumed you’d allowed her to stay with her brother.”“How stupid can you all be?”“I’m sorry, Alpha.”“Get out of my sight.”I turned towards the medical wing. I had spent hours trying to trace that damn signal
SERYN POV Caius's mouth fell open. “Are you insane? Seryn, you’re trapped on the fourth floor of an Alpha’s stronghold and you want to go looking for the book?” "What are you even saying? You are the reason we are both trapped all because of this same Registry and now you think am insane?" "Can you listen to yourself." His brow furrowed. "The book is lost, I..." “The book isn’t lost, Caius.” “Are you serious?” His expression dropped. “Yeah. Kael said his men took it from you.” Caius let out a breath. “Thank God. I thought I’d lost it completely.” “You thought you’d lost an ancient book that could expose our entire bloodline? You're just annoying." “Well... when you put it like that, it sounds irresponsible.” “It was irresponsible.” He gave me a tired look. I hissed, ignoring him.. "Well, now you know the book isn't missing. Are you in support?" He took a moment before answering. “We need to find out whether the deeper records are still accessible. If they
SERYN POV Kael word made me scared even more. "Something bigger? Kael, please what's that?" Kael still didn't respond to my question. Instead he reached for the communication device and entered a short command. The screen flickered before displaying another string of information. “What does it say?” I demanded. Seeing how persistent I was, he had no other option than to answer. “The energy leak from the Moonwater Room might have reached somewhere it shouldn’t.” His breathing quickened as he studied the screen. "Someone has traced it back to its source.” “The energy from you and me? The one Verek was talking about?” “Yes. But I don’t know exactly what the system recorded. I’m not even certain the signal came directly from the Moonwater Room. What I do know is that someone might know where you are." “Someone who?” “That’s what I’m trying to find." He studied the screen again before speaking. “It indicates that someone connected to the Higher Pack Council may be tracking us thro
SERYN POV Verek pressed a hand against his chest before quickly lowering it, as though he hoped I hadn’t noticed. By the time our eyes met, his usual irritated expression had returned.“Are you alright?” I asked. “Perfectly fine.”“Are you sure?” His eyebrow drew together. “You sound disappointed.”“I’d be disappointed if you weren’t. Who else would spend an entire meal making someone's life miserable?”He didn't answer. Instead, he stood up, cleared his throat one last time, and walked out of the dining room. I kept my eyes on the door for a few second, wondering what that cough actually meant.Everything kept getting stranger.My touch had brought Jace down, eased Kael’s pain, and somehow helped Caius recover. Yet when I'd grabbed Verek’s shirt, nothing had happened. And now he was coughing. “Do you think he is pretending to be fine?” I turned towards Kael.“I can’t tell yet. But I will pay closer attention to him.” His hand emerged from the pocket of his suit. He placed a small
SERYN POV“What did your family do to mine?”I didn’t know how the question had escaped my mouth before I could stop it.Kael stood in front of me, his expression giving away nothing. I hated how easily he could look at me without revealing what was going through his head. It made me feel as if I were the only one in the room with something to lose.I remembered vividly when he told me I wasn’t ordinary from the moment a registry that hadn’t been opened for fifty years suddenly opened. And now, after everything that had happened, he still expected me to believe he knew nothing?Hell no. Before he could pull himself out of whatever thoughts had occupied his mind, someone knocked at the door.Of course. Just whenever I was about to get an answer, someone had to interrupt.“Come in,” Kael called. Elena entered, her hands folded in front of her. “Alpha, lunch has been served in the executive dining room. I apologize for the delay.”She glanced at me politely. “Miss Seryn, I can have you
KAEL POVFor the first time in my life, the pain in my blood had affected someone beyond me.I wasn't sure if that was it. But there is a certainty it's - from her reaction and this was the exact way I do. My gaze shifted to the Moonwater basin. Its surface was rubbling, reflecting the pale light above us.The Moonwater could restore strength to exhausted wolves. I’d seen it ease pain that ordinary healers couldn’t touch. But there was something people outside this manor didn’t understand.The water didn’t respond to everyone in the same way. And I had no intention of discovering how it would respond to Seryn. “What should we do now?” she managed, her voice scraping out of her throat. “Maybe if we both…”“No!” I forced the word out as the water titled violently against the side of the basin. “That’s dangerous.”“But Elena… Arrgh.” She bent forward, her forehead nearly touching the tiles as another sharp wave of pressure struck her ribs. I reached toward her shoulder, driven by a sud
