Se connecterRiver POVSeraphina’s wolf stood before me tall, poised, and radiant.The fading sunlight filtered through the trees, catching against her snow-white fur, making it shimmer like something not entirely of this world. Each strand glowed faintly, as if the moon itself had already claimed her. My chest tightened not in pain, I was falling for her.Not just the fragile, stubborn human girl.But her wolf Shila who was not just Powerful but Alive.She moved for a while just sat down there watching me, Before I could brace myself, she lunged forward, her body colliding into mine with a force that sent me crashing to the ground. A startled laugh ripped from my chest as I hit the forest floor, leaves scattering beneath me.Her laughter echoed through the mind link light, teasing, and playful.Her tail wagged wildly behind her.“I am ready,” she chimed, her voice brushing against my mind like a soft breeze.I shook my head, still smiling as I pushed myself up on my elbo
Seraphina POV“Hey… you ready?”River’s voice cut through the quiet of the forest, steady and watchful.I stretched my leg forward, rolling my shoulders back as tension coiled through my muscles. My body felt different lighter, sharper… dangerous. Even the air brushing against my skin felt clearer, as if my senses had been stripped raw and rebuilt into something stronger.“Yeah,” I said, my lips curling slightly as I glanced at him. “I am.”River’s eyes flickered with approval,though his posture remained firm, authoritative the way a trainer watches a weapon he’s still refining.“Good. Now I want you to—”Before he could finish, I was gone.The ground barely made a sound beneath my feet. Wind rushed past my ears as my body moved on instinct, faster than thought, faster than hesitation. My fingers wrapped around the arrow, and in the next breath I was back and I dropped it into his hand.River blinked.Then he chuckled, low and impressed. “That was fast.”
Peter POV The line glowed.At first, it was just a flicker beneath my skin, like silver veins awakening after years of dormancy. But then it pulsed again, brighter this time, alive… responding.My lips slowly stretched into a wide, unrestrained smile. The kind that twisted more on one side than the other. My wolf stirred beneath my flesh, restless, excited its presence brushing against my consciousness like claws scraping stone.“The spirit has awakened…” I whispered, my voice low, edged with a growl that vibrated in my chest.I tilted my head upward, my sharp gaze locking onto the night sky. The moon hung full and arrogant, as if watching me judging me.A scoff slipped past my lips.“You did this yourself, Seraphina…” I muttered, my eyes darkening with intent. “Now all that’s left… is to find you.”The air around me shifted subtly my aura leaking out without restraint. It carried dominance, calculation… and something darker.I turned sharply and strode
Alpha Kelan POVI jolted upright from the bed like something had dragged me out of sleep by force.My chest heaved violently, each breath sharp and uneven, like claws raking through my ribs from the inside. My fingers clutched at the sheets, twisting the fabric as a wave of pain surged through me again hot, brutal, and merciless.“What are you doing to yourself, Seraphina…” I whispered hoarsely, my voice breaking under the strain.The bond….It was tearing through me.A sharp, stabbing pain exploded in my chest, and I doubled over with a groan, my teeth grinding together as my body trembled under the intensity. Sweat beaded across my forehead, trailing down the side of my face, Then it hit again Stronger.“Arrgh!” I roared, the sound ripping out of me uncontrollably.The door burst open.“Alpha! Are you okay?” One of my guards rushed in, his eyes wide with alarm as he took in my state my hunched form, my shaking body, the raw agony etched across my face.I
Seraphina POVConsciousness returned slowly like I was being dragged out of deep, cold water.My eyelids fluttered open, heavy and reluctant, and the first thing I saw was River.He was crouched beside me, far too close for comfort, his sharp eyes scanning my face with an intensity that made my chest tighten. His brows were slightly furrowed, his jaw clenched like he was holding something back.“Are you okay?” he asked, his voice lower than usual.I swallowed, my throat dry, and shook my head weakly. “Not really…”The words came out softer than I intended, almost fragile.As I shifted, a sharp sting shot through my hand. I hissed under my breath and lifted it, noticing a long scratch running across my skin. The dried blood had already darkened, but the pain was fresh. My brows knitted together.“What was that?” I asked, my voice gaining urgency as I pushed myself up. “What jumped out of the bush?”River chuckled.Not amused, more like… dismissive.
Seraphina POV“What exactly are we looking for?” I asked, my voice cutting softly through the quiet as we walked deeper into the forest.The trees loomed taller here, their branches tangling overhead like they were trying to shut out the sky completely. The air felt thicker, heavier… almost watchful.“Just keep coming,” Rivers replied without turning back. His tone was calm, but firm. “And don’t lose that bag.”I glanced down at the bag clutched in my hand, my fingers tightening slightly around the strap. A small frown tugged at my lips as unease settled in my chest. I nodded to myself, even though he couldn’t see me.Still… something didn’t feel right.“Rivers,” I called out.He stopped walking. Slowly, he turned to face me, his eyes scanning my face like he already knew what I was about to say.“Let me guess,” he said, one brow lifting slightly. “You’re having second thoughts.”A quiet sigh slipped past my lips. My shoulders dropped as I looked away,
