SERAPHINA

~<>~

I spent the night in Celeste’s room, holding her all through the night.

To prepare for the meeting, I slipped out of her room before she woke up, returning to mine to freshen up and get dressed.

I chose to wear a simple gown, slipping on a pair of comfortable footwear before I went back to my daughter’s room. I made it back just in time to hear her asking Lily, “Where is my Mama?”

With a smile on my face, I pushed her bedroom door open and stepped in, breathing, “I’m right her

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   75. His Own Grave

    ALPHA REXTON~~It happened so fast… too fast for any of us to see or hear the action itself. But we did see and hear the consequences, and even though I had rushed to join the warriors in the search after Nicola and Seraphina were taken to the healing hall, we couldn’t find the bastard who did this. “This kind of incident has never happened before. It’s like the culprits vanished, leaving no trace at all.”That was what Jesse, the Royal Lycan Gamma, had to say. But I wasn’t having it. I was done pretending that I didn’t know who the suspects were and where they should be right now. “Come with me.” I barked orders at the Lycan warriors, including the gamma, without thinking about the strength they possessed. “All of you!” Fortunately, no one argued. They all followed me as I stormed towards the guesthouse. But on our way there, we barged into Lycan King Damon, who was even more livid than I was. King Damon didn't stop me. He didn't even slow down. He simply fell into step b

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   74. Not a Friend

    SERAPHINA~~Life, they say, is fragile. But no one truly understands how fragile it is until they are on the brink of losing it or watching someone they love or need lose it.I have come to understand just how fragile life is from many experiences… some recent and some so far down in my memory that I couldn’t even recall.However, this moment stood out significantly because the man whose life flashed before my eyes held the power and knowledge to save many others. “Nick!” I heard my own voice… Heck! I felt it tear through my throat as Nicola fell backwards, his eyes so wide I believed he had seen death face to face. The white coat he was wearing didn’t just have a hole in the breast pocket. It was also turning red as he bled out faster than my own injured legs could take me to him. From my peripheral vision, I saw Rexton dash towards Nicola before he could crash onto the floor. He caught him just as my left leg gave out, sending white-hot pain through every nerve in my body.

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   73. Silver Bullets

    SERAPHINA~~The ride to the hospital was a smooth one. I would have preferred to walk down here, but due to the traps we have set, I couldn’t. Damon had made preparations for my safety, but even as I walked into the hospital, something told me Kieran still wasn’t pleased. “Do you think something is wrong with Kieran?” I asked my Lycan as I walked past the waiting room, heading towards the lab, which had turned into his own private office since he got here. Kia queried, “What do you mean?”I hesitated but eventually voiced my thoughts to her. “Since I transferred my life force to kickstart his heart, he has been acting strange around me.” “He has always been strange around you, Sera.” “Huh, maybe more strange—” I added a bit more detail, hoping that she would understand what I meant. To my surprise, Kia cut me off and uttered, “For goddess’s sake, Sera. The man loves you, and he died, but you brought him back, screaming that he shouldn’t leave you. What do you expect from him

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   72. KIERAN’S POV (4)

    KIERAN’S POV~~“What the hell are you doing, Kieran?” Damon waited long enough for Ina to leave the palace, pinning me to a spot with his heated Royal Glare that I had come to know very well. He was furious but so was I. And I didn’t hesitate to respond, “I should be asking you that question, My King.” Using his title in that moment was intentional. I needed him to see just how mad I was and make him realize that he was doing the wrong thing. “Kieran!” Damon called, his tone vibrating with the warning he was trying to pass across to me. Before he could say more, I found myself giving in to the pain in my stomach… one that I have been hiding just to ensure that Ina doesn’t leave the palace walls. I winced. “If your majesty doesn’t mind, I would like to return to my room and perhaps sit my ass down.”Damon held my gaze for barely a second before he nodded and even opened the door to my bedroom for me. Just like I knew him like the back of my hand, he knew me like the back of h

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   71. Big-Girl Pants

    SERAPHINA~~“You shouldn’t go out today, Ina.” Kieran’s voice echoed through the corridor the second I stepped out of my chamber that morning. He was standing against the door to his bedroom, his eyes glued to my frame, and they were filled with worry that almost made me choke. “You know I have to, Kieran,” I whispered, my tone more friendly than formal because he called me Ina.Instead of Princess Seraphina. “What I know is that one of those idiots might be seeing a trap for you right now. You will be safer at home.” Kieran insisted, begging me without having to actually beg. I sighed, stepping closer to him until the scent of Lycan musk and the lingering medicinal smell of the cure filled my senses. "If I stay hidden, the mole wins, Kieran. They will know we’re onto them. We need them to believe that I have the recipe to the cure that healed you.”Kieran still didn’t seem convinced. Even though he was there last night when Damon told us the exact stories that Rexton was sup

  • The Rise of a Forsaken Luna   70. Three Suspects

    ALPHA REXTON~~Knowing that one of my own people stabbed me in the back made my blood boil hotter than it did when I saw Seraphina, but only to be ignored by her. It was even shocking that Lycan King Damon and his Queen chose to trust me with that information. I would have thought they would have instantly believed that I was the villain and Kieran, whom I hated for so many reasons, was almost killed; I could have easily been the suspect. “You see, honesty pays? They trust you now, Kieran.” Kane didn’t hesitate to use that chance to remind me of his beliefs. I scoffed, pushing the door to the guesthouse open and entering the place for the first time in almost two weeks. “Even if they do, it doesn’t change anything between Seraphina and me,” I said to my wolf. Kane didn’t get the chance to argue with me because as soon as I stepped into the living room, I came face-to-face with the three suspects… Freya, Simon, and Alpha Jason. One of these three leaked vital information to th
