로그인Seraphina’s POVThings were spinning completely out of control. The dangerous tension between Soren and Lucas was a ticking time bomb, and I was caught right in the absolute center of it. If I didn't act quickly, the entire web of lies and secrets I had built would collapse and destroy me before I could complete my revenge.I sat at my small desk late at night, the quiet palace feeling eerily still around me. My hands were steady, but my mind was racing as I began writing a detailed letter to Orion, the Rogue King. I explained everything that had happened since I returned—how Soren completely trusted me now, and how Lucas, the pack's sharp Beta, had discovered my true identity as his fated mate.*“The Alpha’s guard is completely down,”* I wrote, my quill scratching sharply against the paper. *“He believes I am his devoted wife. I am in the perfect position to assassinate Soren right now without raising any suspicion from his warriors. Give me your permission to strike, end his lif
Soren’s POVI stood completely frozen. The shock of her angry refusal cut through my heart like a dagger. "You are not ready?" I asked. I took a step toward her, looking deeply into her eyes, searching for any sign that she was joking. "Evelyn, we have been married for years. We are the Alpha and Luna of this pack. How can you say you are not ready to have my child?"Seraphina crossed her arms tightly over her chest, stepping back toward the window. Her eyes were cold, unyielding, and filled with fierce anger."I am not ready because I almost died out there!" she shouted, her voice shaking with emotion. "I spent three terrible years away from this palace! My body was broken, and I barely survived! I will not risk my life getting pregnant right now just to make your elders happy!"Something snapped inside my chest. The exhaustion, the pressure from the council, and the months of carrying guilt finally boiled over. I snapped at her, my hands balling into tight fists at my sides."Y
Seraphina’s POVI sat in the chair, completely frozen. I could barely believe my own ears. I stared at Lucas, hoping to find any sign that he was joking, but his face was as hard as stone."You want me to... what?" I whispered, my voice trembling with shock."You heard me," Lucas replied, his dark eyes locking onto mine without flinching. "That is my only condition. You give me your body, and I will keep my mouth shut. I will turn a blind eye to your secret, your mission, and your true identity.""Are you completely insane?" I stood up so fast my chair scraped loudly against the floor. "I am living in the royal wing! I am supposed to be the King's wife! If Soren finds out that I am sleeping with his Beta, he will butcher both of us alive!""Soren won't find out," Lucas said smoothly, crossing his large arms over his bare chest."And what about your scent?" I shot back, pointing a trembling finger at him. "You saw what happened last night! Soren almost caught us because your scent w
Seraphina’s POVThe warm morning sunlight spilled through the tall windows, hitting my face. My eyes flew open, and I jolted up from the mattress, my heart instantly racing with fear. I looked around the large, unfamiliar room. The wooden furniture, the smell of rain and mint—I was still in the Beta's private quarters.I forced myself to take a deep breath, trying to calm down. Then my stomach dropped as I realized what had happened.It was the first peaceful night's sleep I'd had in three long years.I had not experienced the usual, blood-soaked nightmares of the many people I had killed as an assassin. There were no ghosts haunting my dreams last night.I looked down at the soft sheets. *It must be him,* I realized. Fated mates possessed a powerful, ancient magic that could stabilize each other's restless souls. Just being near his presence had quieted the dark storm inside my mind.But I did not have time to sit and marvel at the bond. Reality came crashing back. I quickly slid
Lucas’s POVMy heart practically stopped beating for a second. Soren’s eyes were narrowed, sharp as daggers."I..." I swallowed hard, desperately clawing for explanation. "I bumped into the Queen earlier, Soren. In the corridor, right before dinner. We collided quite heavily. Maybe that is why her scent is on me."Soren’s brow furrowed even deeper. He took another step into my room, his eyes scanned my wet hair and the towel around my waist. "But you just said you were having a bath, Lucas. So you shouldn't smell like her so strongly right now."My mind went completely blank. I was totally dumbfounded. I was a warrior, a tracker, a Beta—but I was a terrible liar, especially to my Alpha. I braced myself, expecting him to push past me and throw open the bathroom door.Suddenly, the tension disappeared from Soren's face. He burst into laughter and shook his head. Then he reached out and gave my bare shoulder a friendly pat.The serious look in his eyes has been replaced by an amused sm
Seraphina’s POVI stood frozen in the middle of the room, completely flabbergasted by the sight before me. My breath trapped itself deep in my lungs. I couldn't tear my eyes away from Lucas. His skin was flawlessly clean, glistening with tiny drops of water, and his body was incredibly well-built. For a brief moment, a random thought crossed my mind.*Why were the men of the Obsidian Claw Pack all so unbelievably handsome?*As my gaze lingered, I noticed his cock grew visibly harder, pressing tightly against the white towel. Heat rushed to my face, and my heart skipped a beat.A strange warmth spread through my body, making me feel unsteady. In that moment, a truth I had been trying to ignore became impossible to deny.My wolf was deeply drawn to him. The fated mate bond wasn't just an old legend. It was real, and I could feel it growing stronger with every passing second.Lucas’s lips curved into a dark, mocking sneer. "Do you like what you see, Luna?"His deep voice pulled me out
Seraphina's POV The moment I tasted that well garnished lamb, I felt my nerves calm down. That was the sweetest thing I had eaten in my entire life. It was soft, savoury and perfect. I couldn't get enough of it so I threw away my shame and ate like never before.Raising my head after I finished eat
Soren’s POV"Your majesty.... Lady Evelyn is here," one of the guards said, his voice was firm, too firm.They said a ghost had returned. That a woman was found at the borders—filthy, broken, with silver hair and haunted eyes.I snapped my head up at him. Was he tired of living or something? How dar
Seraphina's POVThe next morning before the sun rose, I sneaked out of the Rogue kingdom, out of the place that had somehow become my home for years and began my journey to the Obsidian Claw Pack. The journey was long and quiet as I sat in the backseat of the SUV van arranged by Orion, my hood drawn
Seraphina's POV “I am Seraphina of the Umbra Claw Pack, the last daughter of the fallen and long forgotten pack,” I began, my voice steady with purpose and quiet rage. “I give my name, my face, my soul to the shadows. In return, let me wear hers.” My voice echoed around the clearing as I enchanted
