ログインThe morning sun was bright, but the air inside the Alpha’s private wing still felt cold and heavy. Seraphina woke up early, feeling completely trapped. The walls of the guest room seemed to press in on her, and the scent of pine wood and rain was so thick it made her head spin. She could not spend another minute staring at the dark gray furniture. She needed to breathe fresh air.She dressed in a plain, faded blue gown with long sleeves. She did not look like a princess at all. She looked like a common servant girl, which was exactly what she wanted.When she opened her bedroom door, Kael’s two massive black-armored guards were standing there like statues. They immediately stepped into place behind her."I am going to the garden," Seraphina said, keeping her voice flat. "The Alpha said I am allowed to go if you come with me."The guards did not say a word. They just followed her down the wide stone corridors, their heavy boots thudding loudly on the floor. Seraphina hated the sound,
Seraphina stood in front of the small mirror inside her new guest room, staring at her reflection. She wore a simple, plain gray dress made of cheap cotton. It had long sleeves that completely covered her arms, hiding the skin that had healed so miraculously the night before. Her dark hair was brushed straight down her back, and she wore no jewelry at all. She looked exactly like what Kael called her: a fragile, powerless human who was just a chore to the royal family.She took a deep, steady breath to calm the fluttering in her stomach. Play the part, she told herself silently. Let them believe you are weak. Let them think you are nothing.A sharp knock sounded on the bedroom door.Seraphina opened it to find Kael’s two personal guards standing in the hallway. They were massive werewolves dressed in heavy black armor. Their faces were expressionless, their eyes cold and unmoving. They did not bow to her. They did not greet her."The Alpha heir expects you in the dining hall," the gua
"Listen to me carefully, Seraphina," Kael whispered, his amber eyes darkening with dangerous intensity. "You are in my territory now. That means you follow my rules. Rule number one: you do not go near my private master bedroom at the end of the hall. That space is mine alone."Seraphina crossed her arms, refusing to look intimidated. "Don't worry. I have no desire to be anywhere near you.""Rule number two," Kael continued, ignoring her comment. "You eat your meals when I eat. You do not wander the palace corridors alone. If you need to go to the library or the training grounds, you take two of my personal guards with you. No exceptions.""You are suffocating me!" she snapped, her eyes flashing with anger. "I am a princess of this pack! Your father gave me that title. You cannot lock me in a cage!""I am keeping you alive!" Kael roared suddenly, his voice vibrating through her chest. He reached out and grabbed her upper arms, pulling her an inch closer. His grip was tight, hot, and c
Aurora stood in the center of Kael’s luxurious living room, her face twisted in pure anger. Her blue eyes flashed with hatred as she finally turned her head to look at Seraphina."Why is this human garbage staying in your quarters, Kael?" Aurora demanded, her voice high and sharp. "You are the future King! Your private wing is for your future Luna, not for an adopted orphan who doesn't even belong in our pack!"Seraphina kept her face blank, but her hands tightened into fists at her sides. She was used to Aurora’s insults, but hearing them here, in Kael’s space, made her blood boil.Kael did not flinch. He stood tall, his broad shoulders relaxed, but his amber eyes were completely cold as he looked down at Aurora. "You do not burst into my room demanding answers, Aurora. Remember your place."Aurora took a step closer to Kael, her angry expression quickly changing into a fake, sweet pout. She reached out her manicured hand and placed it firmly on Kael’s bare chest, sliding her fingers
"My sons are wild," the King continued, looking up at the ceiling. "Killian is too violent. Jaxon is too careless. Lucan thinks too much but hides his true intentions. And Kael..." He paused, sighing heavily. "Kael is strong, but he is stubborn and proud. He has the heart of a true leader, but his pride makes him blind."The King turned his eyes back to her. "They are fighting over the crown, but they are also fighting over you. I know Jaxon went to your room last night. I know Kael had to step in."Seraphina looked down, feeling a bit uncomfortable. "Jaxon broke my lock, Father. I did not invite him.""I know, my child. I know," Draven said gently. He patted her hand. "That is why I approved of Kael’s decision to move you to his wing. You are not safe on your own anymore. But I want to give you some advice, Seraphina. Soon, you will have to choose which of my sons you will marry. The pack needs a Luna, and the elders want a royal match to secure the throne."He leaned closer to her,
Seraphina sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the broken pieces of wood scattered across her floor. The palace servants had not yet come to clean up the mess Jaxon and Kael had made. Her room felt empty and cold. She had to pack her few belongings soon to move into Kael’s wing, but she could not bring herself to move.She looked down at her hands. She really had nothing in this world.When King Draven found her eight years ago, she was starving, dirty, and half-dead in the cold forest. She did not have a royal trunk. She did not have any expensive dresses, jewelry, or family heirlooms. She was just a poor, homeless human girl. The King had taken her in, clothed her, and given her the title of a princess, but deep down, she always knew she was different from everyone else in this castle.Thinking about her past made a deep pain twist in her chest.She closed her eyes, and the memories of her childhood came rushing back. She remembered her biological father. He was a kind, gentle hum
