ANMELDENALPHA REXTON~~I thought handling Dahlia would be the hardest thing I would do upon my return. But I have been proven wrong. I was also sure that I would kill her on the spot, but that liar had more lies to tell, and I would stop at nothing to dismantle her lies and show the entire pack that she was undeserving. When that is done, her supporters will abandon her, and everyone will accept Seraphina, who should be here any minute now. “Doesn’t look like she is coming,” Kane uttered as I walked towards Nicola’s private laboratory, where I knew he would be… with my daughter. After giving him the entire night to tend to her, I hoped he was prepared to hand her over to me. Whereas I have another assignment for him.My eyes fell to the small vial containing the blood I had personally collected from Arlo’s veins last night after I separated him and Dahlia. Nicola would perform–“Did you hear me at all?” Kane seethed within me, nearly pulling my hamstrings so I would stop walking and
SERAPHINA~~The journey away from the realm that had shielded me for years, towards the one who ripped me apart countless times in the past, began. Kieran was driving, but he only had one hand on the wheel. The other one was on my lap, his fingers intertwined with mine. Just like our souls… A big smile stretched across my face, my mind doing a quick jump back to the moments Kieran and I spent in his room before we finally began the journey to save my daughter. “He is definitely a gentleman.” Kia snickered on the inside, failing to remain subtle as she gushed over every second. I could feel my face getting hotter as she teased me using the memories I couldn’t get over. I watched the trees blur past the window, the familiar scent of home beginning to fade as we drove into unclaimed territory that separated the Lycans and the werewolves. “If you don’t want him to perceive a slutty change in your scent, you had better keep those memories locked up.” Kia muttered, but I knew bet
DAHLIA~~I knew so many things would change between Rexton and me. I kinda expected the end of his forced love for me and the beginning of the one thing I thought I wouldn’t be ready for… His love for that bitch!However, within minutes of his arrival, the realization hit me harder than the hard physical impact my back would soon suffer. I realized I was unprepared for more than one shattering revelation.I stayed on the ground for a long time, the wet stone of the balcony pillar pressing against my spine. My fingers went to my throat, feeling the heat where his had clutched around my throat …Where his iron fist had nearly crushed my windpipe. “AND SHE IS NO BASTARD! SHE IS MINE!”Aside from the pain flaring in my throat each time I tried to breathe, Rexton’s words also reechoed over and over again. I closed my eyes, the dampness of the stone seeping through my clothes. I should have been crying, but the rage burning in my gut was too hot for tears.“I… I do not deserve this fr
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
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
SERAPHINA~~It’s happening tomorrow. The gala that I have dreaded for the past week will happen tomorrow, and while I genuinely looked forward to picking Dr. Nicola’s brain, I still wish I didn’t have to attend."But you have to." Kia's thoughts collided with mine. "You know how important this i
ALPHA REXTON~~The feel of her lush, juicy lips on mine caused my heart to quicken with excitement. I heard myself moan into the kiss, feeling a deep sense of relief because the long period of yearning was finally over. My arms snaked slowly around her waist, tracing the familiar curves as I pu
SERAPHINA~~“We are finally free.” Kia hummed happily in my mind the minute we crossed the invisible borderline. The air also changed, not just with the drop in the temperature, but also with the absence of the choking atmosphere of Crimson Moon Pack. The last time I felt this shift, I wanted
FIVE YEARS LATERSERAPHINA~~My chest rose and fell in rapid succession. My breath was harsh and deep as the heavy wind of the valley blew past me as I dashed through the cleared path. Or even more appropriately, the wind bowed to me.Kia tore through the high valley, her Lycan legs barely touc
