Chapter 123SERAPHINAThe woman's words echoed in my mind. A saviour and a curse both at once.My hands pressed harder against my stomach. As if I could protect the child inside from whatever prophecy this woman was talking about."What do you mean? How can one child be both?"The priestess remained still. Her blue eyes fixed on me through the white veil. There was something unsettling about her. Something that made my skin crawl even as I desperately wanted answers."The prophecy has been spoken for generations. A child born of two bloodlines. Lycan and Werewolf. They will either unite the world or destroy it.""That does not make sense. How can we stop the curse? How do we make sure the child becomes a saviour and not something terrible?"The woman tilted her head slightly like she was considering my question or maybe pitying me for asking it."Light cannot exist if darkness did not show up first. And sometimes light can be seen in the dark. You cannot have one without the other."
Chapter 122SERAPHINA'S POVThe hate in those last words hit me like a physical blow."She is just a bloody werewolf."I had heard Leone say cruel things before. Had endured his insults. His dismissals and complete disregard for my feelings.But this felt different.He did not just dislike me. He hated what I was. Hated that I existed in his world. Hated that I was a werewolf as if it was my doing and not the moon goddess.My chest tightened. Tears threatening to spill. But I held them back and refused to let him see how much his words had hurt.Lucien's voice cut through the tension. "She is still a potential mother, Leone. The mother of your heir. You should not take that from her. She has every right to pray for a safe delivery."Leone said nothing. He just stood there glaring at me with those cold eyes.I turned away immediately not wanting to wait to see what would happen, started walking before the tears could fall. Before I could break down in front of them both.Bill was wait
Chapter 121LEONEThe seriousness of her tone made me paise for a while and stare at her. "Can't it wait for me to wash up?" I asked getting up from the bed and heading towards the washbasin. I washed my hands and grabbed a cloth to clean up my body."I cannot keep being in the shadows like this."I stopped drying my hands and turned to look at her. "What did you say?""I said I cannot keep hiding. I mean sneaking around and while you pretend I do not exist. I want more than this."Anger flared in my chest immediately."You should be grateful I am sleeping with you at all. You would be nothing without me. Absolutely nothing."She sat up whilst pulling the sheet around herself. "That is not fair—""Not fair? You are a werewolf. Do you understand what that means? Lycans do not even like werewolves. We see you as lesser.""But you like me enough to sleep with me.""I like you enough to fuck you. There is a difference. Do not confuse the two."Her face crumpled. Hurt flashing across her
Chapter 120LEONE'S POV"She is getting cocky."The words came out harsher than I intended. But they were true. Seraphina was changing. She was becoming bolder and more defiant.I did not like it.Reginald was still staring after her. His eyes following her retreating form down the corridor. That stupid smile still on his face."The confidence looks good on her though. It makes her more interesting.""Interesting is not what I need from her. Obedience is.""She obeyed eventually. She sat down and ate with us.""After arguing and challenging me in front of you. That is not acceptable."Reginald shrugged and turned back to face me. "It is probably just pregnancy hormones. It is making her emotional and Irrational. It will pass once the baby is born."I wanted to believe that. Wanted to think this was temporary. A phase that would end.But something told me it was more than that. She was learning fast, adapting and finding ways to push back without crossing lines that would get her punis
Chapter 119SERAPHINAMy heart was racing. The old woman's words echoing in my mind."Why? Why would my baby not be ordinary?"The woman's grip on my hand remained firm. Her eyes distant. Like she was seeing something I could not."I am a seer, child. I see things others cannot. When I touched you, when your blood touched my hands, I saw the child you carry. It is different. The baby's going to be special and powerful.""What does that mean? What did you see?""I cannot say more. Not here. Not now. But you need to go to the temple and pray to the moon goddess. She will give you answers."I pulled my hand away, sepped back. This woman was making me uncomfortable, talking about things that made no sense."I do not believe in seers. Or visions. Or moon goddesses.""You do not have to believe. But that does not change what is coming. Go to the temple tonight. You will understand.""I am not going anywhere. Especially not based on the ramblings of a stranger."I turned to leave. To get awa
Chapter 118SERAPHINAThe corridor erupted into chaos at Carter's words.Elders who had been watching silently suddenly had opinions. Loud ones. All of them talking at once."Carter is right. The girl has every right to speak.""She has no experience. No knowledge. She should stay silent.""Knowledge comes from listening. She clearly listened better than some of you.""This is ridiculous. We cannot let a werewolf dictate pack policy.""She is not dictating anything. She voiced an opinion and that is all. What is the fucking big deal about that?"The arguments grew louder and more heated. Elders took turn choosing sides; some were supporting Carter while the others were backing Voss and Eileen. The board was dividing right in front of me.Rowan leaned close. His voice barely a whisper. "Study the dynamics. See who aligns with whom. Use this to your advantage."Then he was gone slipping away before anyone noticed.I stood there watching, memorising faces, names, who shouted the loudest
