SERAPHINA

~<>~

I almost missed it. 

I almost let my fears and need to appear strong cost me the one person who was keeping me sane.

W-what would I have done if I had gone for the dining instead? I thought to myself as I watched the steady rise and fall of my daughter’s chest.

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   199. Abyss of Hell

    KIERAN~~Ina’s words hit me so hard that every muscle in my body felt like jelly by the time she was done clarifying the actions I had interpreted wrongly. I could feel my Lycan performing a happy dance as every wall I had spent days building fell apart, dissolving into dust. I could feel myself coming back to life even though I had never been dead… at least not literally. My chest, which had been tight and aching for what felt like an eternity, expanded with a sudden, desperate gulp of air. It felt as if I were a sinking man who had finally broken through the surface of a frozen lake, my lungs burning but alive.“I told you so, you absolute idiot,” Alan cheered, his voice bouncing off the walls of my mind with an uncontained, smug satisfaction. “I told you she didn’t love him that way. I told you she needed us.”For the first time in days, I didn’t fire back a snarky retort. I couldn't. I was too busy staring at the woman sitting across from me, the sheer weight of her love pre

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   198. Kieran's Guilt

    SERAPHINA~~In the face of the pain that Kieran expressed, mine felt like nothing. Because while I had been hurt that he was avoiding me, he had been experiencing something far worse. He had had to endure watching me mourn another man like he was the love of my life. He had held on to his feelings for way too long, and I was almost convinced that his assumptions were the truth. Oh, how he almost convinced me. “I want you, Ina, and honestly, I’m tired of having to tell you just how much you mean to me.” Kieran continued, letting out thoughts I could have never imagined. “Because apparently, my feelings would never be good enough for you—"“That’s a lie, Kieran, and you know it!” I wanted to scream so badly, but I couldn’t. Not when Celeste and Arlo were in the dining room. Right before me, Kieran shook his head as if I had just told the biggest lie ever. “No, Seraphina, I do not know that, and if I have come to know anything—" He didn’t stop talking, but I stopped listening fo

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   197. Frozen Desert

    KIERAN~~“Now.” Ina added that word before I could utter the excuse that sat at the tip of my tongue. Damn! I should have found a way to get out before we were left alone in this building with two children who I desperately prayed would show up and help me escape what was sure to come. “You can’t avoid her forever, anyway. " Alan scoffed, still very mad that I wouldn’t change my mind even after three days of trying to convince me that I was making a grave mistake. If I were being honest, I knew what I was about to do was a mistake I would regret forever, but better that than staying only to see Ina grow to hate me.“Kieran,” Ina called out, her soft voice snapping me out of my thoughts. But it was no relief. Not when I had to face a reality that I knew was so much more dreadful than my thoughts. “Are you listening to me?” She asked me, stepping closer to me. However, I took double the steps she took backward, causing her eyes to widen even before I could come up with an excu

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   196. The Next Alpha

    SERAPHINA~~It has been three days since the Crimson Moon Pack and the werewolf Realm at large said goodbye to Rexton, burying him like the honorary Alpha he was. And within these three days, a lot has been happening within Crimson Moon Pack. The lack of an Alpha in command quickly caused more than a few instances of chaos that Ethan and Kieran had to take care of. I was certain the werewolf council was already trying to install another Alpha, but what I didn’t know was that they would decide within three days. “That’s impossible.” Ethan’s surprise was audible in his voice after he received the news that was delivered to the Mansion by Freya, Councilman Brandon’s daughter. The day started just like any other day. We all had breakfast together just like any other day, and after that, I tried to get Kieran alone so we could talk about the undeniable tension I had been feeling between us, but somehow, he was able to come up with an excuse. Anything to not get into a deep convers

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   195. Two Kids

    SERAPHINA~~Kieran and I didn’t get to talk even after the ritual was done. Even after I approached him, dying to eradicate the tension I had noticed when I looked at him in the mansion earlier. I still didn’t know that his tense aura wasn’t really about the funeral and the fact that he blamed himself for what happened to Rexton. But it was mostly because he had made a big decision that would break us both when I found out. I didn’t get to tell him that I was sorry for being distant and detached these past few days, because before I could, Ethan and Remi interrupted us. “Sera, can you look after him while I’m gone?” Ethan snatched my attention first, his voice forcing me to take my eyes off Kieran.I was about to blurt, "Who?" but when my eyes fell to the smaller hand in Remi’s, the question died in my throat. It was Arlo.The little boy looked like his entire world had been turned upside down within the blink of an eye. Sadly, that was true. The mother he knew wasn’t truly h

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   194. Last Respects

    KIERAN~~Four days under the same roof and I hadn’t seen her once. We were so close to each other, yet I had never felt so far away from her, not even when I was thousands of miles away from her in a pursuit to save the little one. Four days and I hadn’t seen my grief-stricken chosen mate, and I couldn’t bring myself to go up the stairs to see her or even cross the hallway and knock on her bedroom door. I just gave her space, acting as if my heart hadn’t been breaking over and over again. I resisted because I believed she needed that space from me after I killed the man she obviously loved… after I let him die and–“Finally, Sera!” Remi’s voice broke through the thick wall of my guilty thoughts. Her voice hit me even before I could let myself perceive my mate’s scent, and even after that, I still couldn’t bring myself to look at her. How could I? She probably hated me already, and because of my failure, she was about to attend the funeral of her daughter’s father. Damn! I cou
