As soon as Serafine turned her back, she saw a very tall man built like a god with strong muscles and abs and to top it up, he was half-naked with only a towel wrapped loosely around his waist. Just as she looked at his face, she gasped. His facial features were unbelievable. He looked like he was specially created and favored by the moon when it comes to looks
“I..I…I” Serafine stammered as she looked at him. For a reason, she felt like she had just forgotten how to speak as she was still mesmerized by his looks and the same thing was happening to Alcide.
He was so stunned by the beauty standing before him as his eyes raked her from her toes up until her head as he lingered a little bit on her boobs.
Serafine got shy when she felt his gaze on her boobs and she tried to cover them a little with her hands.
Alcide snapped out of his gaze as he looked back at her and said “Have you lost your tongue? Or do you think I am joking here?”
“ I am Serafine” Serafine said while looking down at her shoes nervously
Alcide raised one of his eyebrows as he gave Serafine a look while he thought ‘How does she expect me to know her by just telling me her name, and what is a woman doing in my room’ He stepped back a little bit fully conscious of the fact that the person standing in front of him was a woman
Serafine rephrased her statement “ I am Serafine, the wolf sent by pack Brawl to be the wife of the Alpha of this pack”
‘Oh so, this is my supposed wife, not bad’ Alcide thought to himself as he scanned her body again after which he circled her while saying
“ And what are you doing in my room? What if the Alpha catches you with me here hmm, what would you do then”
Serafine finally became conscious of the fact that what the handsome man was saying was true. If she got caught, all her plans would be ruined before she could even start and her precious puppy would…
‘No’ she shouted in her mind
“ I wanted to use the bathroom, then I saw two doors and I opened one. It led me to this place. Please this was not intentional, can you take me back to where I came from, please” Serafine said this with honesty in her eyes as she continued staring at the young man who was still scanning her
Before Alcide could say anything, a knock echoed from the door
“Alpha, the conference is about to start and we all await your presence. Jenna is in the pack also and she asks of you” The voice behind the door said while Serafine’s eyes widened when she heard the person behind the door call her handsome prince Alpha
‘So, he is the Alpha’ Serafine thought to herself as she felt a waft of breeze on her back. She turned around to find out that her handsome prince had already left her back. Just as her eyes were about to search for him, she heard his cold and menacing voice
“ Leave this instant, but you can stay unless you want to see me get dressed,” Alcide said as he threw the clothes he was to wear on the bed. Just as he was about to take off his towel, Serafine ran towards the door she came from, and soon enough, she found herself back in her room
She held her chest as she felt her heart beating erratically
‘What just happened?’ she thought to herself as she pinched her wrist just to confirm that she was not dreaming
“Oww” she screamed from the pain and she realized that everything that just happened was real. She ran to the other door and when she confirmed that it was a bathroom, she shut it with a bang out of frustration.
———————————————————————————
After the conference, Alcide went to his lounge to meet Jenna. Jenna is his childhood friend as their parents were friends before his father and mother’s death. Ever since then, although she was restricted from touching him, he gave her all the power he could within his pack as a token of appreciation as she helped him a lot after his mother’s death.
“Alcide” Jenna shouted his name when she saw him out of excitement. She felt so happy seeing him again as they barely see each other due to his busy schedule
“Jenna, hope you’re good?” Alcide said with a small smile as he sat down beside her. He has always seen Jenna as a baby sister and that is why he does all he can to keep her happy.
“ Yes I’m fine, just that I miss you. Have you forgotten about me Alcide?” Jenna said with fake tears in her eyes as she looked up at him with puppy eyes.
“No, you certainly know that I can not forget about you right?” Alcide said while smiling at her.
“Then, what is it with these rumors that I've been hearing all around your house” Jenna said more to herself than Alcide
Alcide looked at her with curiosity “ What rumors?”
“ They say that you have a wife now, that the girl is from one of our rival packs, more so, they say she is cursed,” Jenna said, reducing the tone of her voice when she said the ‘cursed’.
‘Cursed?’ Alcide wondered within him before he said
“I don’t know about the cursed part, but yeah, I have a wife now. I guess you now have a sister in law” Alcide said with a small laugh as he got distracted a little bit
Suddenly, Jenna moved to hug him when she say he was not looking feeling her temper rising at the fact that Alcide has a wife now.
The smile on Alcide’s face quickly faded as his eyes turned blood red. He quickly stood up and held Jenna by her neck trying to suffocate her. His hold on her tightened as he lost control of himself.
Jenna laughed as she saw the picture she used an unknown number to send to Alcide. She took the sim away, broke it into pieces and threw it away.She was sure Alcide would hate Serafine by now. If not from the pictures, but from the message she used Serafine’s phone to send.‘Now, I would wait for a while before approaching Alcide. Then when it is time, I would comfort him and make him give in to me bit by bit’ Jenna thought within herself as she laughed to herself.She stepped into the room and walked closer to Serafine.By now, Serafune had already woken up but her body was bloodied and she could barely keep her eyes opened.“Oh, what a pity. Look at you now. If you would have left Alcide for me, you won’t be passing through all these” Jenna said, acting like she felt sorry for what Serafine was going through.Serafine could only gnash her teeth as she used her last strength reply Jenna.“You just wait until Alcide comes to get me out of here. He would rip you to pieces” Serafine re
Meanwhile, Alcide went into his room after he was done with his meeting and he was tired. All he wanted was to spend time with his wife.He stepped into the room with a smile and his smile left his lips when he saw that the room was empty.‘Did she step out?’ Alcide wondered to himself as he checked the dressing room and bathroom but it was empty.“Serafine?” Alcide called out to her but got no response.“Maybe she stepped out to relax for a while” Alcide added as he finally calmed down, convincing himself with that thought.He stepped into the bathroom, had his bath and changed into fresh clothes. He had some files to attend to and as such, he sat down to work on them.He dropped the papers out of frustration. No matter how hard he tried, he could not concentrate. His thoughts diverted to Serafine.He looked at his watch to check the time. The time was past 5 in the evening.“Why is she not back yet” Alcide said as he became worried.He tried to continue his work but when he saw that
Serafine was about to run away but then, a strong hand grabbed her and yanked her into the room. Serafine fell down from how strong the pull was and she immediately stood up to find Lucian glaring down at her. “Oh, what a nosy cat you are,” Lucian said with a sinister smile as he moved closer to Serafine while Sera backed away. “Please let me go. I’m sorry” Serafina said as her back hit the door and she almost screamed from how close Lucian was to her now. Just then, Jenna stepped out of the bathroom saying, “What was that sound” As soon as she said this, her eyes widened when she saw Serafine backed up against the door with Lucian in front of her. “We have a spy. Why don’t we hasten up our plan Jenna” Lucian said with a smirk as he crouched to Serafine’s level. “Please don’t do anything to me” Serafine begged as she felt tears pool down her eyes. “Do you have everything all planned out?” Jenna asked as she smirked seeing how Serafine cried out of fear. “Yes” Saying this, Luci
The next morning, Serafine and Alcide left the resort early to get back to their pack. All through the ride, Serafine kept mute, saying nothing and Alcide kept staring at her from time to time, wondering what he had done wrong. “Serafine?” Alcide called out to her, tired of the silent treatment “Hmm?” Serafine said, turning to look at him. “Are you alright?” Alcide asked, looking concerned “I’m ok,” Serafine said, smiling at him “Then why have you been quiet all this while? Did I do something wrong” Alcide asked and Serafine felt emotional seeing the look on his face. He looked confused and sad and she just wanted to pull him in for a hug and comfort him. Yes, she was down, but not because she was angry, but because she was confused and trying to sort out her emotions. She feels confused about her feelings to Alcide. She felt so drawn to him and whether she admits it or not, she has fallen deep for him and she does not want to expect much from him so as not to get disappointed.
The next day came and went fast as Serafine hanged out with the girls while Alcide was busy with a lot of meetings. A party was organized for all of them in that night, just to enjoy once more before they all head back to their various packs. Serafine was going for something simple yet elegant, so she opted for a pink chiffon dress that reached her knee. She let her hair down in waves and applied minimal makeup. Alcide on the other hand wore a black tuxedo with matching shoes and applied gel on his hair, swooshing it backwards. In all, they looked elegant and one would think they were a match made in heaven. Serafine felt sad because she was going to leave all the sweet souls she had just met and then go back to face her problems. She would miss them all, especially Daina. Serafine and Alcide stepped out of their room and into the hall holding each other’s hands. Just as they stepped in, Serafine noticed that the chairs were arranged in front of a large table, and once seated,
Daina and Serafine had fun after which Daina took Sera to meet the wives of some Alphas, with Serafine’s permission of course. When they got to the garden, the women were eagerly waiting for Serafine and Sera felt nervous a little bit nervous. ‘What if they don’t like me? What if I fumble? What if I act weird in front of them?” The what-ifs clouded Serafine’s mind as she hesitated a little and Daina quickly noticed this. “Don’t worry, Sera. The people you are about to meet are nice and I won’t take you to them if they weren’t. And if they choose to be a dickhead, I’m here, I’d spank their asses one by one” Daina said, trying to cheer Sera up and then Serafine nodded, moving forward. Immediately the ladies saw Serafine, they stood up gleefully, with a genuine smile on their faces. “Ladies, meet Serafine” Daina introduced Serafine to the ladies and they all smiles, some nodding, some looking at her like she were a superstar. “Sera, this is Bianca, Davina, Arianna, Cleopatra, Giann
