The predator himself, the attacker. He no longer has the patience to wait for his prey to be lured by his charms; his facade has finally shattered, and her survival instincts are now sky-high, prompting her to run far and away from him. He is coming with full force, prowling and growling, ready to pounce. "I have to run faster," Seraphina mused breathlessly. She cannot let him capture her—not today, not ever—not after how he had ended, annihilated, and buried her family. Her backbone. She used to be spontaneous and carefree, smiling and helping the needy, dreaming of a world where hunters could be free and welcoming to everyone. But that can never happen anymore. Peace was once a possibility, but now it’s an abomination. That was before he came, before he arrived and rocked her world, leaving in his wake the ashes of her home, with her all alone for him to hunt as he pleased. She heard bones cracking and knew he was transforming from his wolf form to his human form. She hid quickly, her breath labored, trying to hold it. It is hard holding her breath because her heart is beating so fast, and she had been running with all her might just seconds ago. “Seraphina, come on out,” he taunted. “You can run, but you cannot hide, Butterfly.” Butterfly. She used to love that name, but no. She is not and would never be a butterfly—a weak, spineless creature that can so easily be hurt, one that he could catch in a net or a fancy glass, showing her the world outside but not letting her reach it. She would never be his butterfly because that way she would always be reminded how easily crushable she is, how easily she could be blown away as dust. She would run for however long she could, and nothing he would say would bring her out. She had to be free of him. She didn’t want to end up like her family, and even if she didn’t have to, she doesn’t intend to forgive him. He didn’t only cross a line; he destroyed the opposing empire when they least expected and didn’t even attack. She hid better and held her breath. “Seraphina? You are my mate. You cannot hide from me. Come out with both your wings, or—” Anger coursed through Seraphina at that, and she rose to her full height from behind the rusty counters. “Or what? You’d burn them to ashes?” she dared furiously. Adolphus stood enthralled again by her beautiful self, her hopeful green eyes, before she raised her glare again. “Yes, I’d burn them and chain your body to mine, Seraphina, because you're mine,” he growled. She quickly attempted to flee again, but he easily grabbed her and pressed her to the wall. “Got you, Butterfly,” he whispered, his smirk freezing her. She hates him!“Do you want me to kiss you again?”This was the man who had taken her, stripped her from her life, forced her into his world. The man she was supposed to despise, to fear.But her gaze fell to his lips—full, slightly parted, begging to be claimed or to claim her.And then back to his eyes—smoldering, predatory, desperate.Hot.Wanting.Their breaths mingled, the distance between them growing thinner, vanishing like smoke in the wind.She blinked.And then he moved—fast, sudden, like a wolf striking its prey.His mouth crashed into hers, rough and unyielding, a clash of fire and ice, hatred and desire.His hand gripped the back of her neck, anchoring her to him as if he were afraid she’d slip away. Her fingers curled into his shirt, not to push him away—but to pull him closer.It was a kiss that tasted like war.And she hated how much she wanted to lose the battle.They parted.The moment hung between them—thick, electric, alive.Seraphina’s breath came shallow, her chest heaving agai
Seraphina met his gaze, fire burning in her veins.“Why do you really want me here, Adolphus?” she asked, her voice steady, but her heart thundered beneath the surface.He didn’t answer right away. His smirk faltered, a flicker of something raw passing through his eyes.“Another question,” he said smoothly, leaning back against the wall.“No,” she snapped. “Answer me.”His jaw tightened. For a moment, she thought he’d brush her off again, but then—“Because you’re mine.”Seraphina let out a harsh laugh, shaking her head. “That’s a stupid answer.”Adolphus’s lips parted—then he closed them again, exhaling softly through his nose. His head tilted back for a beat before his voice broke the silence.“Because without you, I’m nothing,” he said, his tone rough, like the words were clawing their way out. “I’ll be incomplete.”Seraphina’s breath hitched.“I need you to complete me,” he continued. “To be my other half.”Her heart slammed against her ribs, but she bit the inside of her cheek, r
The door swung open again.“In fact, come here,” Adolphus bellowed.Before Seraphina could react, he was already on her, swift and forceful. His strong arms wrapped around her, lifting her as if she weighed nothing. She gasped, struggling instinctively, her fists pounding against his chest.“Put me down!” she spat, writhing against his grip.Adolphus didn’t even flinch. If anything, her resistance seemed to amuse him.“You had your chance to jump,” he mused, carrying her effortlessly toward the massive bed in the center of the room. “Now, you’ll stay exactly where I want you.”She thrashed harder, but his hold was unyielding. “You can’t just—““Shut up,” he growled.Adolphus didn’t just toss her onto the bed—he carried her straight out of her room.“Put me down!” Seraphina shrieked, pounding at his chest, but he didn’t even slow his stride.The halls blurred past her in a rush of torchlight and shadows, the distant murmurs of wolves filling the silence. She twisted in his grip, trying
She didn’t want to speak to him. Didn’t want to acknowledge him.But her body had other ideas. Hunger gnawed at her insides, and despite the storm raging in her mind, she reached for the plate.Adolphus said nothing, either.He simply set the tray down and stepped back, watching as she picked at the food.It was simple—bread, stew, water—but it was warm. He had brought it for her.The realization unsettled her.She focused on eating, pretending he wasn’t there, pretending her hands weren’t trembling from exhaustion.But Adolphus wasn’t fooled.His gaze swept over her, taking in every detail—her paleness, the stiffness in her posture, the way she barely moved her injured leg.Without a word, he crouched beside her, his fingers reaching for her bandages.Seraphina flinched.“I’m just checking,” he murmured. His voice was calm, careful. Like he was dealing with a wounded animal.She hated it.Hated that he saw her like this. Weak. Helpless.But she said nothing.He peeled back the bandage
Seraphina sat in the dim, unfamiliar room, her breathing shallow, her fingers clutching the edges of the blanket wrapped around her shoulders.The fire in the hearth crackled softly, casting flickering shadows on the walls, but its warmth did little to chase away the cold lodged deep in her bones.She wouldn’t say it. She wouldn’t admit it.But she had been scared.Not just startled. Not just wary. Terrified.She could still feel the ghost of the boar’s tusk grazing her skin, the thunderous weight of its charge shaking the ground beneath her.She could still hear the monstrous snarl that tore through the silence of the woods—the sound of death coming for her.And for the first time in her life, she had thought—this is it.She hadn’t been ready.She had faced many things before—hunters, battles, the weight of her family’s expectations—but never had she felt so powerless.The memory gripped her like a vice.#####The air had been thick with silence.That eerie kind of stillness where eve
Adolphus stormed back into the room, the door slamming shut behind him.Seraphina flinched at the sound but quickly steeled herself, glaring at him as he loomed over her.“What do you want now?” she spat, her voice sharp despite the pain in her leg.Adolphus didn’t answer right away. His chest rose and fell with heavy breaths, his hands clenched at his sides.He looked at her like he was waging a war within himself, like he was barely holding something back.“You were going to leave,” he finally said, his voice low but filled with something dangerous.She scoffed. “Of course I was! You kidnapped me, Adolphus! You ripped me away from my home, my life—everything! And now you expect me to just sit here and accept it?” Her golden eyes blazed with fury. “I will never accept this. Never.”His jaw tightened, and he took a slow, deliberate step forward. “You don’t understand, Seraphina. I had no choice.”“No choice?” she laughed bitterly, though it came out shaky. “You always have a choice. Bu
