ログインSERAPHINA~~I was terrified. There was no doubting that. Just like there was no overlooking the way my heart clenched and unclenched as I zoomed through the forest, following the dark scent and the throbbing heart of Nicola, whom I believed was doing everything he could to throw Dahlia off. That would explain why I couldn’t perceive his scent. But nothing could explain the way I felt as I betrayed myself for what anyone would call the greater good. However, there would be no greater good if I lost my daughter… the word "good" would fade away forever in my life because Celeste was my good. My everything. “Then we should be glad for our secret weapon.” Kia tried to encourage me even though she was just as torn as I was. I didn’t understand what she meant. Hell! I couldn’t understand because my mind was wandering in one direction while my legs were heading in another. “I mean, our strength level. It’s high because we gave our essence to make the potion.” Kia explained, pumping
SERAPHINA~~I didn’t see it until it happened. Just like I didn’t see the truth until Dahlia was standing before me with a different aura and a confident smile. But unlike then, I couldn’t mask my shock or overcome the terror that slammed into me… and sadly, Dahlia could see it. It started when Nicola left the lab, and right before my eyes, Dahlia’s frame split. It was crazy, but she literally became two of herself in a twinkling of an eye, leaving me utterly stunned. Both versions of her wore that exact same, sickeningly pleased smirk. The dark, suffocating witch aura remained the same though, wrapping around my neck like a tightening noose.“There are two of you, Seraphina.” Both versions of Dahlia purred in perfect, dread-infusing unison. “So it’s only fair if there are two of me too, right?” I couldn’t even find my voice to answer. My mind was racing, trying to calculate the sheer volume of magic it took to pull off a replication spell this flawless.How could she even per
DAHLIA~~Oh, I was happy. No, I was ecstatic. Watching Seraphina freeze with her hand still glued to the doorknob, gazing at me with absolute, intriguing confusion, was pure perfectionI could just hear her calling out my name with a tone that carried the question in her head, even though her lips didn’t part. “Hi, Bitch. Let me reintroduce myself.”Those words flowed out of my lips easily because, unlike the woman in front of me, I came prepared, and I had been listening to her conversation long before I let my aura slip to lure her out. “What are you doing here, Dahlia?” To my surprise, the bitch dismissed me as if I wasn’t shutting down her airway with my witch aura that she had never perceived on me before now. The confusion I once saw in her eyes faded as if it had never been there… and that pissed me off more than I could admit. “Are you sure that’s the question you want to ask, Seraphina?” I let out, wearing a smirk even though she didn’t flinch. “And you shouldn’t dis
SERAPHINA~~Being alone with Nicola for the first time after his betrayal was pure torture. He was the one who revealed my daughter's identity to the lunatic who went ahead to kidnap her, bringing me back to a pack that couldn’t even protect her.Damn!Walking with him was hard, but working with him proved to be harder because the second we got to his lab, I felt my walls rising to keep me away from him. Yes, I was still mad at him. In fact, I was angrier now that I knew that the mutated rebels were about to attack Crimson Moon Pack. What if something goes wrong and the power-boosting potion doesn’t work this time? What if the rebels and the witches behind them have re-strategized and could easily win? What would happen to my daughter… my Moon. "Princess Seraphina," Nicola's voice broke the suffocating quiet of the lab, sounding hesitant and small. He didn't dare look me in the eye as he began setting out clean glass jars. "I know words won't fix what I did. But we need your
DAHLIA~~Before I could make it out of the mansion, I felt a wave of energy hit me, burning through my veins like its sole purpose was to intimidate me. And it definitely did, especially since my powers were as weak as they had ever been. It also told me that I was about to receive a guest… the same one who visited me in the dungeon. Lila. An illusion of her wearing a flowing black dress emerged before me, and for the first time since I reached out and reconnected to her, she didn’t look like she was about to kill me. Instead, she looked at me like I had finally done something right after falling off track for many years. “I believe you have told him the lie you cooked up, and he still didn’t choose you,” Lila mumbled as if she had been watching me. And yes, she could since I had revived the connection between the coven and myself, regardless of how fragile the link was at the moment. “Also, I believe I have given you enough chance to chase your selfish desires, Dahlia. It’s
DAHLIA~~Everything I said was true. The story was accurate, and I told it just as it happened. The only fact I omitted was that it didn’t happen to me. Or maybe it did. After all, I was one of the pretty girls whom the foolish human girl met and took back home. I might not be the main character in that story, but I was a prominent figure. After all, I benefited from it more than anyone else. Yet, I gave up all the benefits because after I met Rexton, I fell in love with him. I genuinely changed for him, turning my back on my people… the same people who had suffered great injustices at the hands of Lycans and werewolves. “I betrayed them for you, Rexton,” I whispered with angry tears rolling down my cheeks as I watched Rexton leave me in such a mess. But after everything, he still stabbed me in the back for that Lycan bitch. He still chose to humiliate me in her presence… But not anymore. I would no longer let this go on. My fingers clutched the tattered fabric of the dress
SERAPHINA~~These past five years, I have been training with warriors while studying medicine, yet I wasn’t prepared to hear a public declaration of war. War was normal to our people, but the mere thought of it made me sick to the stomach. “Might have something… everything to do with the fact
SERAPHINA~~Th-the world… M-my world had gone silent. The music, the clinking of glasses, and the hum of hundreds of voices had faded. It all vanished, replaced by a rhythmic, heavy thrumming in my ears that matched the frantic beating of my heart.It’s t-the m-mate bo-bond…It was screaming, b
SERAPHINA~~The air felt thin. Or maybe my lungs had gotten too greedy with the past closing in on me. I wanted to turn and walk away. To disappear into the library annex and find the safety of Dr. Nicola’s medical theories or run back to Kieran, but my legs felt rooted to the marble floor.“I
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
