ログインALPHA REXTON~~I didn’t expect Seraphina to be back so soon, but when I perceived her calming scent, the bubbling lava-like anger I was about to unleash on Dahlia lost its heat, leaving me frozen like a torn man. I remained frozen until Dahlia spoke again, her words carrying the honesty I hadn’t heard from her in many years. “You have the chance now, Dahlia. Speak.” I said to her, her eyes shifting around the room like she was waiting for something… Something I couldn’t quite fathom. “Ask them to leave, Rexton…. I can’t speak the truth when these people are here—" “These people? You mean my Beta, the trusted Doctor who revealed your lies…” I cut her off, glaring at her as I added, “And the woman your lies almost sent to her grave?” “Rexton, please–” “Speak, Dahlia, or I will be forced to decide your punishment now.” I snarled, cutting her off so harshly she fell on her butt. She had been in the cell in the basement since the night I returned home. If Nicola hadn’t shown up
SERAPHINA~~Ethan and I grew up together, but not once had I seen him so shocked. Not even when I thought I could take him down and counterattack him when I was just six years old. His jaw literally hit the gravel floor of the compound, and for a minute, he froze, his Beta brain calculating how this could have been possible. “H-how do you know this? Even the warriors at the border haven’t reported anything.” He asked me, his breath coming out shallow. I hesitated for a few seconds before I muttered, “Rexton kidnapped my daughter to get me here, and even though I thought about coming alone, Kieran wouldn’t let me.” At the mention of Kieran, Ethan’s face lit up for some reason that I later realized was respect. After all, they were both Betas, and Kieran had a long list of achievements. “You can’t tell Rexton this, but Kieran is close to the borders. He sighted the rebels and passed the information.” I chose to trust Ethan in that moment and also added, “He would have to sneak
SERAPHINA~~“W-what?” I gasped through the bond, Kieran’s fear finally making sense to me. But I couldn’t help but still wonder if he was trying to pull my leg. Hell, I hoped he was just trying to pull my leg.Because… Celeste was here and vulnerable. Back at the Lycan Realm, the rebels couldn’t reach my daughter easily, but here in Crimson Moon Pack, all they had to do was cross the borders, and all hell would break loose. “I sighted them a few minutes ago. They have camped close to the borders but not close enough to be perceived.” Kieran’s voice came again; this time, he gave me more details. And I responded, my thoughts still shaky but better than they were a few seconds ago. “They must be planning a surprise attack.” “I figured, and that’s why I had to tell you to stay put—" “You think I should warn Rexton?” I asked not because I wouldn’t do that, but because I couldn’t believe Kieran was looking out for the one man he hated the most. Kieran’s response didn’t disappoint
SERAPHINA~~An apology… I have heard a million of those these past few weeks, but for the first time, my heart felt a wave of sincerity. One so strong I couldn’t overlook it or just walk away. I looked down at Elara Ashford, my hand tightening instinctively around Celeste’s waist. The cold gravel of the driveway must have been digging into Elara’s bare knees, but she didn’t seem to care. Her shoulders shook, her perfectly styled hair falling forward to hide a face that had only ever looked at me with cold disgust or conditional approval.Until this very moment. “Is this a trick?” Kia asked, though her voice lacked its usual venomous bite. Yes, even my Lycan was stunned into a hesitant silence by the sheer, unmasked grief radiating from the woman before us."Get up, Elara," I whispered, my voice no longer laced with malice but sounding drained by a sudden, heavy exhaustion. "Don't do this.""No," Elara choked out, her head slowly moving up, her tear-streaked face exposed to the
SERAPHINA~~“Everyone! Look who is finally here!” Remi announced the second the entrance door shut behind us. The echoes of Remi’s cheerful voice bounced off the high, familiar ceilings, but the warmth in her tone did nothing to stop the icy dread spreading through my veins.The room went completely still. At least it did for me. The soft clinking of teacups and the low murmur of conversation vanished, replaced by a suffocating silence. My eyes darted across the lavish living room, instinctively bypassing the expensive furniture and the familiar paintings that used to haunt my childhood dreams, instantly locking on the fireplace.There they were.Elara. Rolan. Ethan… every member of the Ashford family… And my daughter was there too, sitting between Elara and Rolan until she saw me. “Mama… Mama…” Celeste screamed, jumping off the couch. She ran straight to me, jumping into my arms without a single fear of falling on her face. I caught her against my chest, burying my face in h
SERAPHINA~~My legs carried me faster and farther than I thought. It was as if I were subconsciously trying to put enough distance between Rexton and me.Before I got here, I thought I had seen him at his worst and that he had gone as low as possible by kidnapping my daughter, but that man had once again proven me wrong. He is really unbelievable… He stole, schemed, and even tried to physically subdue me.Unfortunately for him, he had underestimated my physical strength and overestimated the power of the potion Nicola and I made… otherwise, I would have been truly stuck here… I would be helpless. “Does that mean we can leave now?” Kia asked me, her fur itching just as my own skin did. I nodded without a single doubt. “Yes, I just have to get Celeste back.” At that point, I was convinced I truly didn’t need Kieran to come here. I also didn’t see the need for the warriors Jesse was leading to the Crimson Moon Pack. I believed I could take my daughter and leave. And Kia supporte
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
SERAPHINA~~“Don’t answer his call.” Kia growled at the back of my mind as I stared at my phone’s screen.One second, I got a text from him, and the next, a call from him, like he had become an impatient puppy. Although I haven’t opened the text, I couldn’t just ignore his call. Not when he st
SERAPHINA~~The last thing I remember was the suffocating weight of the strong aura and the darkness pulling me under. But when my eyes fluttered open, the world was moving fast, yet steadily.I was lying on my back. On a plush leather seat, inside a spacious luxury car. The engine hummed silent
DAHLIA’S POV~~I stared at the woman standing before me, and for the first time in years, I felt the cold prickle of genuine terror.She wasn’t supposed to be back. She was never meant to return, yet there she was, staring at me like I was nothing but a helpless fly she could stomp on if she wa
