Chapter 8

Seraphina’s POV

The 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.

    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. After a moment, I placed the plate back in fr

    88 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
