This Alpha Is Mine

SERAPHINE’S POV “Mum, I’m already twenty. I will soon be given a mate by the moon goddess. Why can’t you just wait till then? Why must I be given out in marriage to a man I barely know?” I cried angrily. They hate me. I knew they do. I know not everyone likes my family but they didn’t have to give out their only daughter like this. “What do you mean to a man you barely know? He is the Alpha. You don’t know the Alpha?” my dad scorned. “We have never asked you to do anything for us before…nothing,” mum added, staring at me like I had committed the greatest crime known to man. “No, I won’t do it,” I yelled, my voice cracking. “You can’t make me marry him!” The small table shook as I slammed my hand on it. My body shook with fury. My mother frowned and her eyes looked at me coldly. Father sat by the corner, not saying anything. I breathed harshly. My mother stepped in front of me, her voice stern. “We have sacrificed a lot for you. Do you think food and a place to sleep come

Frightening but Charming Seraphine’s POV“Don’t ever let him see you.”Those words sent a chill down my spine. The head maid’s voice? Sharp enough to shave your soul. She looked at me with those eyes that could cut glass, like she already saw my fear leaking out.“If the Alpha finds you in his chamber,” she leaned in real close, her breath all coffee and something sharper, “You won’t walk out alive. Got it?”I nodded, probably looking like I was about to hurl. “Yes, Head Maid.”She just sneered. “The last girl who thought she could handle this…” Her lips twisted into something ugly. “…she ended up in pieces in the square. Dogs ate her bones. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”My heart skipped a beat, and my palms got all sweaty and I almost dropped my broom. “So why me?”The other maids started giggling, pretending to fold sheets or whatever, but really, they were watching me crash and burn. Nobody wanted this job.The head maid straightened up, fixing her scar. “Why you? Because everyon

Seraphine’s POV “Why are you doing this to me?” my voice low and teeth shaking from the effect of the cold water rushing down my back. I was panicking but shivered from the cold. I was scared. I’d crept into the Alpha’s bathroom. Not exactly my finest moment, but desperate times, right? If the guy was going to kill me because, let’s face it, that seemed pretty much inevitable then I figured I deserved a real bath before I bit the dust. The weird thing was, the water actually felt…well. Too good. Not like home, where every shower smelled like a haunted pipe and left me shivering for hours. But this? It should’ve been comforting. Rather it was making me feel more pain. And then out of nowhere, the shower curtain got yanked aside. I frozed. No, I mean, I literally stopped breathing. Agora stood there, like some six-foot-tall nightmare. His stare cut right through me, fast and icy, before he jerked his gaze away so hard I swear I heard his neck crack. My heart? Oh, it was throwing

Seraphine's pov I got up from the bed, my legs shaking like jelly as I grabbed the blanket draped over my body. I turned on the heater and went back to bed. I picked up my garment and stared at the wetness dripping from my legs. I felt a tear clouding my vision and I sniffed. I felt like someone had made me a doormat and I was being stepped on without any mercy. I walked back into the bathroom and sat in the bathtub, letting the warm water soothe the sore in my vagina. I let the tears flow freely now. Was this how I am supposed to be living in the palace? Was this my fate? I didn't sign up for any of this. Just then, I heard a knock on the door and flinched. I stood up immediately and put on my garment as it clung to my wet body. I didn't feel a need to be ashamed as the Alpha felt disgusted with my body. I walked to the door as the second knock responded. "Who's there?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I got no response, but a note slipped into the crack under the do

Seraphine's pov. I turned my head toward the direction of the bedroom s Alpha Agora left me and dashed. I heard a little of what was said, but by the time I had put on my garment and walked into the room, there was no one there, aside from a tray of food scattered on the floor. I looked at Agora and had a feeling in the pit of my stomach. Just as I had guessed, he smirked and stared daggers at me. "Pick it up with your bare hands and dispose of it in the palace incinerator. I think I've let you become too comfortable," he said without any emotion in his voice.I obediently bent down to pick up the glasses, careful not to cut myself. "After that, go to the kitchen and eat with the other maids. We want them to know you're still alive," he said, as if teasing me or warning me. I didn't respond. What was I supposed to say? Thank you, Alpha, for allowing me to go outside and see the outside world, where I'll probably be bullied more than I am here. "And make sure to be back here bef
