SERAPHINA

~<>~

I have been up all night, and as much as I would like to say that the thought of my daughter was the only thing that kept me up, I couldn’t.

After all, my heart beat and ached all night because of a particular silver-eyed man.

I just didn’t like how we left things last night, but I couldn’t get myself to go to him because I–

“Because of your pride, Sera.” Kia blurted just as I exited the bathroom where I had freshened up in preparation for the journey ahead.

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   128. His Jewel

    ALPHA REXTON~~“I can’t believe you would do this! To a child!” Nicola had yelled at me a few hours ago, yet I could still hear his voice echoing in the back of my mind. Hours ago, Celeste, the daughter I hadn’t seen for years until the night I went into the palace to reclaim her, woke up earlier than I calculated. That was a mistake on my part because somehow, I had forgotten that she had the Lycan gene within her. I had no choice but to dismantle my back seat again and pull out her body from underneath the foam and leather. Her scent was still concealed from the potion I got from Nicola… the same one that helped me sneak into the palace without getting caught. Of course, since I wasn’t invisible, it was still difficult, but years of war had taught me how to sneak around my enemies and get whatever I wanted. And this time, it was Celeste… my daughter. “You knocked out your own daughter with drugs, abducted her, and buried her in a suffocating—" “I made sure she can breathe

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   127. Erotic Flame

    SERAPHINA~~No…That one word hit me like a tsunami, crashing over the very high hope I had spent the last few minutes building. It chilled my blood, leaving me gasping for air in a hallway that suddenly felt too small to breathe in.I stared at him, my heart still clenching. I expected everything but this.I got that he was mad, but I didn’t think he was angry enough to say no to me and reject marking me. I-I didn’t even prepare myself for this. Hell! I barely prepared myself to ask that question. W-what… w-what was I supposed to say or do now? So I turn around and do a walk of shame back to my room? Do I tell him not to go to Crimson Moon Pack with me anymore? Do I cut ties with him and give us both the break it seemed like we needed?“No, Sera,” Kia grunted into my mind, her own heart pounding faster than mine. “You can’t just assume again and let him be. A-ask him why.” My Lycan stuttered as fear gripped us both. But I still asked, staring at Kieran’s face even though I wa

    SERAPHINA~~I have been up all night, and as much as I would like to say that the thought of my daughter was the only thing that kept me up, I couldn’t. After all, my heart beat and ached all night because of a particular silver-eyed man. I just didn’t like how we left things last night, but I couldn’t get myself to go to him because I–“Because of your pride, Sera.” Kia blurted just as I exited the bathroom where I had freshened up in preparation for the journey ahead. “This isn’t about pride, Kia.” I countered, using a towel to dry my hair. My Lycan scoffed even though she should know better. She was the one person who should understand how I felt. “And that’s exactly why I’m telling you that the only reason you have been stopping yourself from marching towards his room all night is that you are holding on to pride.” Kia repeated the same accusation, this time with more words, but the same message was passed. I was about to tell her that she was wrong. Again. I mean, Kier

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   125. The Tiny Being

    ALPHA REXTON~~If anyone ever asked me to define the term Rough with an incident, I wouldn’t think twice before I mentioned last night and throw in a few details from this morning. “It was rough but worth it,” Kane muttered within me as my eyes cut to the back seat of my car.Yes, I agreed, and if given the chance, I would do it again—“Alpha, are you alright?”Nicola’s voice hit my eardrums softly, forcing me to look at him briefly before I turned my eyes back on the road. He was sitting beside me, and I had been driving for almost twenty-four hours, hoping to get to my pack sooner because I didn’t know what force was coming behind me. While I had warned Seraphina against coming with anyone, I couldn’t be sure she would listen. I couldn’t be sure this won’t blow up in my face—“Are we being followed?” Nicola queried, cutting my thoughts short again. He had been quiet since we left the Lycan Realm, but now that we were getting closer to Crimson Moon Pack, he was becoming chatty

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   124. The End

    SERAPHINA~~Huh? What? D-did I hear him correctly? Or was my mind playing cheap, unfunny tricks on me? It had to be the latter. After all, this was Kieran, and he wouldn’t utter those words to me, not now. Not when we should be focused on finding my daughter and getting her home safely. The Kieran I knew and was ready to create a deeper bond with wasn’t selfish. He wasn’t Rexton, and he would never–“Ina?” Kieran’s voice sliced through my loud thoughts. My eyes fluttered slowly, locking with his as I smiled. “Sorry, I spaced out.” “Yeah, I figured.” Kieran mirrored the small smile on my face, and everything was fine again until he added, “But you haven’t answered my question.” Brows furrowed and heart skipping beats, I squeaked, “What question is that?” Internally, I hoped it wasn’t the same one I had convinced myself was created by my overwhelmed brain. Heck! I pleaded it wouldn’t be the same. But within a heartbeat, my hopes were smashed, and my pleas fell on deaf ears,

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   123. The Only Family

    KIERAN’S POV (12)~~The pain in Ina’s voice and the anguish in her eyes made me feel ten times worse than I already felt. I would be lying if I said Celeste’s abduction wasn’t partially my fault. I have been a distraction to Ina these past few days. If I hadn’t been, she would have been with Celeste, or Celeste would have been in her bedroom.But–“This isn’t the time to point fingers, Kieran. She needs us.” Alan was quick to call me back to my senses. My eyes cut to Ina again, and before Damon could point out every obvious reason that this could be a trap Rexton had put in place to not just have Celeste but also Ina, I let out without hesitating, “I am going with you.”“That’s crazy. You both are the ones acting rashly. Rexton is a mouse—" “A mouse who had managed to earn your trust within a few weeks despite what he did in the past, Damon!” Ina snapped, cutting her brother off angrily. Before now, she had only expressed pain. But in that moment, she let her anger out, but at

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   12. Wolf Pack Ball

    SERAPHINA~~“Break?”Rexton’s voice didn't just rise.It dropped into a heavy, territorial rumble that seemed to vibrate through the mattress and into my very bones. He seethed, his breath hot and smelling of whiskey against my skin, “You belong to this pack, Seraphina! Dammit, you belong to me

    SERAPHINA~~“There’s no way.”I couldn’t stop uttering those words under my breath. Not even when I sat at the long glass table to dine with the three people whose words and world have stunned me speechless. I stared at the lavish spread of food—delicacies I hadn’t seen all my life—but my stoma
