SERAPHINA

The sun hung high by the time the Academy’s training grounds were transformed into a combat arena. The trial was finally beginning.

A thick crowd of Alphas buzzing with nerves and adrenaline, formed uneven rows across the open grounds. The scent of sweat and tension clung to the air. Beyond the ring of Alphas, the hierarchy stood beneath a shaded pavilion, watching like royalty on a throne. I roamed my eyes to find Ronan standing there with Asher and in the completely opposite direction like usual was Dante.

Just standing there.

Not dressed to fight. Not even warming up.

Finn nudged my shoulder. “They’re not participating,” he told me.

"Of course, why would they? They already have those luxurious rooms,” I murmured, stretching my neck.

Finn nodded, “Yeah, they have nothing to fight for here. We are actually desperate for that room,” he chuckled.

I could not deny it and chuckled as well. But I realised there was no one more desperate than me. I was ready to do anything

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   274. DREAM

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW “Let’s go.” As she walked through the middle of the temple courtyard, everyone bowed in reverence, as they always did. They had watched her grow, yet every time they saw her, it was as if they were seeing her for the first time happy, smiling, radiating an energy that never ceased to amaze them.Silas followed her across the courtyard, holding open the large wooden door to the room.The moment Petal stepped inside, the couple in the room was stilled by the pureness and positivity that radiated from her. Both of them were blindfolded, so they could not see her, but they could feel the energy shift as soon as Petal entered.“Please follow the rules and keep the blindfolds on,” Silas said, his voice firm but respectful.No outsiders were allowed to see the Blood Petal. No one had ever seen her in the past twenty years.The curtains fluttered softly in the wind as Petal gently moved one aside and approached the woman lying on the bed. The woman was breathing e

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   273. THE BLOOD PETAL

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW NINE HUNDRED YEARS AGOWhen the Goddess cried from heartbreak, a single tear fell to the earth, and where it landed, a beautiful white flower bloomed. As the flower opened, a baby with striking red eyes and a petal mark between her brows lay among the petals. Since she was born from the petals, she was named Blood Petal.Years later, having grown into a woman in her twenties, she sat by a waterfall gazing at her reflection in the surface of the water, her fingers dancing lightly over the surface before she swiftly snatched a large fish from the stream. “I caught it!” she exclaimed, proudly holding the fish up as she beamed at the man standing beneath the cave’s overhang. “I won! And this time, five seconds earlier!”The man smirked, an amused glint in his sharp eyes. With a simple flick of his hand, he made all the fish leap out of the water and swim toward him. “I don’t think so,” he said quietly, watching her with a knowing smile.She stood up, fists cl

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   272. GONE

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIWEAsher’s breath hitched. “Nine hundred years ago?”Just as the question left his lips, Silas’ entire body began to slightly fade, his form shimmering as though he were dissolving into the air. “It was the same day, nine hundred years ago, when everything ended...it is the same day tonight that it all starts over again.” His voice grew more distant as he spoke, the words thick with sorrow. “The past is repeating. The first Alpha King of the realm, Ryker Wraithe, has broken free from his curse with her turning twenty-one. She will remember everything about her past, her life...and the mistake she made...falling in love with anyone. With the Dread Lord.”As he spoke, Silas’ form grew weaker, his voice fading with each word. “My people and I were cursed, not only to live immortally after we lost her, but also to keep silent about what we knew,” he raised his hand, and the Moonstone he had plucked from the Moonstone Chamber materialized in his grip. “Now, that I’v

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   271. THE CRUSE

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW“Silas, something is happening in the clearing of the Blackpine Forest!” Theo rushed into the ruins, panic clear in his voice. He had been watching the forest from a distance, but the moment he entered the ruins, he could no longer feel Silas’ presence anywhere. “He had been going crazy after meeting with Aran and studying the bloodline curtain like an obsessed beast. Now, where did he go?”Unbeknownst to Theo, Silas was already deep within the ruins of the once-proud Lupine Academy, now reduced to little more than debris. The bloodline curtain was tightly clutched in his fists, his grip nearly bruising the material as he strained to understand its secrets. No matter how hard he tried to peer through the bloodline, the dark energy curling around it was causing excruciating pain, injuring his inner powers. His body was failing him, his energy dangerously low, and yet he couldn’t stop. He had to find out.His steps were frantic, and he threw debris aside with

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   270. THE GATE

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEWGrace’s heart hammered in her chest as the shadows loomed closer. “They’re not living things…” she muttered in a panicked daze. “They’re…” Her voice faltered when she saw Jude opening the door and stepping out. “JUDE, WAIT, NO!” she screamed.“Stay in the car,” Jude firmly ordered, but there was no hesitation in his movements as he exited the vehicle.Grace’s panic exploded. “NO! I SAID THEY'RE NOT LIVING THINGS! DON’T GO. PLEASE!!” Her hands shook as she grabbed his arm, but Jude gently pried her fingers off.“Grace, it’s okay,” his voice softened, but there was an edge of finality. He guided her into the driver’s seat, leaning down to press a quick, reassuring kiss to her lips. “Drive into the territory. Don’t look back.”Her breath caught in her throat. Something was terribly wrong. Slowly, she turned her head to glance over her shoulder, and froze. Three more shadows had appeared behind the car, closing in with unnatural speed.Jude slammed the car door

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   269. THE FLASHES

    SERAPHINA“Sera…I found Ryker Wraithe.”My heart stopped. “Where is he?”The link was abruptly cut off, followed by Lily’s final scream, a blood-curdling cry that ended as abruptly as it had started. The bond shattered.No...no, no, no.Lily...she was gone. She…died.Her last words echoed in my mind: “He is…always around you—”I froze dead on my spot. Around me? Always?The next thing I knew something black slithered around me. It coiled around my legs, slithering up to wrap cold and unrelenting around my chest, like an invisible chain pulling me towards the unknown. The air grew thick with pressure, and the suffocating mist closed in.That’s when a voice, low and slithering, whispered in my ear from the black thing around me, sending a shiver down my spine.“Seraphina…” Ryker whispered.I turned
