Chapter 56 – “All of Me”

Seraphina’s POV

The fire had burned low, just embers now. A soft, steady crackle filled the silence between us. I sat cross-legged on the floor, my back against the cabin wall, my bowl of food long forgotten beside me. Kaelion was across from me, legs stretched out, hands resting loosely on his thighs.

He hadn’t pushed. Hadn’t asked a single question. But his eyes… they were patient. Waiting.

And something about that—about the quiet way he looked at me like he saw me, like he wanted to see everything I kept hidden—made the weight inside my chest shift.

I stared at the fire for a long time. I wasn’t sure why my mouth opened. I didn’t plan it. But once the words started coming, they didn’t stop.

“You remember last night… the dream I had?”

Kaelion nodded silently.

“It wasn’t just a nightmare. It happened. That’s how it all started.”

I took a deep breath. My fingers twisted the edge of the blanket around me.

“My first shift… I was young. S

    PrologueThe night air cut through my skin as I stumbled through the forest, blood and sweat soaking my torn clothes. Each breath felt like a blade, each step a reminder of my broken body. Behind me, laughter echoed, cruel and mocking, mixing with the distant howls of wolves.I had always been unwanted. From the moment I was born, I was a burden—a reminder of my mother’s failure to give my father a son. My existence had been a mistake. He had abandoned her, leaving her to wither while he took another mate who could give him what he truly desired—a child he could love.But I killed that child.Thirteen years old, and my wolf had manifested, burning through me with a feverish rage. I had gone to the lake, seeking relief from the fire inside, and she followed. I didn’t mean to shift. I didn’t mean to crack the ice. But I did, and the water swallowed her whole.I tried to save her. I had tried. But no one cared about that. I became a killer, the cursed child. My father couldn’t even look a

    Chapter 2Seraphina I pushed the door open, my hand trembling against the heavy wood. The scent of cigar smoke and aged whiskey clung to the air, mingling with the faint metallic tang of my own blood. My father sat behind his grand mahogany desk, his expression as cold and unreadable as ever. But it wasn’t him that froze me in place.A stranger stood near the window, his back partially turned, but his presence was impossible to ignore. He was massive—built like a wall of muscle wrapped in dark, expensive fabric. The room seemed to shrink around him, the air growing heavier with each breath I took.As the door creaked open, he turned.His eyes—icy blue, sharp, and piercing—locked onto me. They raked over my broken form, lingering on the torn fabric barely covering my bruised skin. His gaze wasn’t filled with curiosity or pity. No, it was disdain, raw and unfiltered, like I was something foul stuck to the bottom of his boot.“This is what you’re offering me?” His voice was low, gravell

    3KaelionI stood by the black SUV, arms crossed, as the packhouse door creaked open. She appeared—Seraphina. She was barely holding herself together, each step looking like it might be her last. Her skin was pale, sickly, and bruises bloomed across every visible inch of her body like she’d been dragged through hell.Pathetic.I watched her limp toward me, her gaze unfocused, her lips trembling as if she was mumbling something to herself. She didn’t even make it halfway before her knees buckled. She stumbled forward, collapsing right into me.For a second, I froze.Her body was like dead weight against mine, her head falling against my chest. I could feel the heat radiating off her skin—unnatural, burning hot. My wolf growled in the back of my mind, restless, agitated.“She’s burning up,” he muttered, his usual gruff tone laced with concern. “You’re neglecting your mate.”She’s faking it, I shot back, shoving the annoying voice aside.I grabbed her by the arm and yanked her away from

    4Seraphina’s POVI wasn’t sure how long I’d been unconscious, but when I finally woke, my body felt like it had been trampled by a stampede. Every muscle screamed, and the dull, persistent ache in my ribs told me they were either cracked or bruised—probably both. My head throbbed, and my mouth was dry, the taste of copper lingering on my tongue.The first thing I noticed was the sterile smell. Not of a hospital—but of something colder, harsher. The faint scent of leather, pine, and something distinctly him.Kaelion.I opened my eyes to unfamiliar surroundings—a spacious room with minimal furniture: a bed, a dresser, and a small chair tucked against the far wall. The walls were a muted gray, matching the coldness in the air.I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my side, forcing me to bite down on a gasp. That’s when I noticed the door.Locked.Every day, I checked it, hoping maybe—just maybe—someone had forgotten to lock it. But no. Kaelion wasn’t careless.However, the wi

    Chapter 5KaelionThe scent of fear clung to the walls of the council room like smoke after a fire. It was thick, heavy, and satisfying. I sat at the head of the long wooden table, fingers steepled under my chin, as my pack members fidgeted in their seats, their eyes darting nervously.None of them dared meet my gaze. Good. They were learning.“Explain,” I growled, my voice low but deadly enough to make even the most seasoned warriors flinch.My Gamma, Dax swallowed hard. “Alpha, during the… incident with Seraphina, there was an escape attempt from the prisoners we captured in the last raid.”I arched a brow. “And?”Jareth hesitated before clearing his throat. “They were desperate. The guards—”“Failed,” I finished for him, my voice dripping with disdain. I let the word settle, enjoying the way tension tightened the air. “Kill them all.”A ripple of unease passed through the room, but no one dared to question me. I leaned back in my chair, watching them, their fear a quiet symphony. “A

    Chapter 6 – Seraphina’s POVThe cold winter air cut through the fabric of my clothes as I ran, pushing my legs harder, harder. The pounding of my heart matched the rhythm of my footsteps. I had made it out—finally, finally free. The guards had relaxed, believing I was nothing more than a caged animal too broken to fight back. They’d let their guard down while I feigned weakness. The moment I sensed their carelessness, I slipped away.I hadn’t expected it to be this easy. The hospital had been my prison for days, but when they relaxed their vigilance, I was ready.Now, my destination was clear—across the river, into the rogue territory, where no one could touch me. Or so I thought.As I reached the edge of Kaelion’s land, the river before me seemed to grow wider, more menacing. The cold waters reminded me of my past, of my father’s pack, of the Luna’s cruelty. Memories flooded back—the mistreatment, the humiliation—and my calm shattered. My breath hitched, the image of the past flashing

    Chapter 7 Seraphina’s POVI gasped for breath, my chest heaved—not from what I just did or the effort of running, but from the aftershocks of the panic attack that gripped me. My body trembled violently, each shake a fight for control. I gasped for air, desperate, but my lungs betrayed me.His grip tightened, and I struggled against him, weak and helpless. “Let. Me. Go.”Around us, the guards remained motionless, not out of mere surprise, but fear. Fear of what Kaelion would do. Fear of the defiance I had dared to show. He was a leader who commanded absolute obedience, a man few had ever seen challenged—yet I had done so.Kaelion’s jaw tightened, a bruise already forming from my strike, but his smirk never faltered. If anything, it deepened. His golden eyes glowed with dark amusement, like a predator entertained by its prey’s feeble attempts to fight back.The stillness shattered as a figure stepped forward from the shadows—a woman in warrior’s garb, identical in style to Dax’s.

    Chapter 8Seraphina’s POVThe cold iron door slammed shut behind me with a deafening clang, the sound echoing through the dark, damp dungeon. My breath came out in short, shallow puffs, the chill in the air seeping into my bones. The faint torchlight barely illuminated the stone walls, casting shadows that danced with every flicker.I took a slow, steadying breath, but it did little to calm the simmering anger inside me. My wrists throbbed where Kaelion had gripped them, and my body ached from the struggle. The scent of damp stone and decay filled my nostrils, a grim reminder of what this place was—a tomb for those deemed unworthy.A sharp, mocking laugh broke through the silence.“Did you really think you were special?” Kiera sneered, stepping forward. Her red hair gleamed under the dim light, her eyes filled with cold amusement. She crossed her arms, towering over me as I sat slumped against the wall, my body exhausted but my mind still burning with defiance.“I don’t think anything

    28 Kaelion’s POV I didn’t trust this woman. Luna was too smooth, too sweet, her words like honey laced with poison. And the way she kept smiling at Seraphina, like she actually cared, made my skin crawl. I watched her closely as she raised her glass to her lips, sipping her wine slowly, her eyes flicking between me and Seraphina. She was playing a game, and I hated not knowing the rules. When the food arrived, I didn’t hesitate. I reached for Seraphina’s plate, pulling it toward me. She didn’t protest, just watched as I picked up her fork and cut into the meat. Slowly, I brought the piece to my mouth and chewed. Luna let out a soft chuckle, tilting her head. “My, how protective,” she mused, swirling the wine in her glass. I didn’t answer. I was too focused on the taste. Nothing seemed off. No bitterness. No strange aftertaste. But that didn’t mean anything. If Luna wanted to harm Seraphina, she wouldn’t be so obvious.
