SERAPHINA

Silence followed my words, a silence so taut it hummed in my ears.

Alpha Jude’s fingers paused mid-thought against his chin. Alpha Hugo leaned back in his chair, exhaling slowly through his nose, though his expression remained unreadable.

“No recordings?” I asked, tilting my head as my eyes flicked to Reed and Cassius before shifting back to the instructors. “No witnesses beyond those in this room? Then it’s all hearsay, isn’t it? And if that’s the game we’re playing, I’d prefer mine be heard in full.”

Reed shifted uneasily. Cassius refused to meet my gaze, chewing the inside of his cheek like it might erase the whimpering he’d done earlier.

“I asked a question,” I said again, calm but firm, directing it at the two Alphas. “Is there any proof I struck first?”

“Why does this hearing revolve around who struck first?” Dante lazily interjected from the corner, his tone almost bored. “You assaulted them. They’re injured. You’re not.”

Ronan’s voice cut through the air like a blade

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   280. ALWAYS

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW“What are you smiling at?” he asked, raising an eyebrow as he lifted her chin, his face dangerously close to hers. “Do you want a kiss, Petal?”She smirked. “Isn’t it you who wants a kiss?”He grinned, the hunger in his eyes turning more intense. “Did I get caught?” he said, leaning in to kiss her.“Of course,” she replied, pushing him away playfully before darting away from him.“Do you think you can run away from me?” he growled, a teasing light in his voice as he chased after her.Petal shrieked with laughter as she ran, but she could feel his speed gaining on her, the rush of air around her body making her heart race. Before she knew it, he had caught up, his strong arms wrapping around her and pulling her into a soft, yet playful tackle. They both collapsed onto the king-sized bed, and he began to tickle her mercilessly.Her laughter echoed through the castle, light and free, while his gaze never left her. He watched her, taking in every moment like it

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   279. MY OTHER HALF

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEWPetal stood in the center of the room, her red eyes drinking in the breathtaking beauty that surrounded her. She had missed the last time she was here. Now, in the soft glow of the chandelier's warm light, the golden accents on the walls gleamed, the intricate furnishings and rich carpets adding layers of opulence to the space. It felt different this time. There was no darkness, no tension, only a calm almost ethereal peace that seemed to settle around her.And, just like last time, the room was filled with his scent.She slowly lifted her gaze, meeting his eyes. He stood silently, leaning against the wall, watching her as if he had been waiting for this moment. She didn’t know him fully yet, but she could feel the pull toward him, like a thread that had slowly woven its way into her heart. Before she knew it, she had followed him inside the castle the moment he had taken her hand, guiding her into his bedchamber from which she had fled earlier.She knew ask

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   278. A MISTAKE

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW After a quick check of the grounds, Petal made her way to the grand hall, her stone throne waiting for her. She sat down calling, “Donna,”“My queen,” Donna stepped forward, her voice respectful but familiar.Donna was the first woman Petal had taken in at Elysium Haven, half human, half werewolf. After recovering from her trauma and being trained as a warrior, Donna had chosen to stay with Petal, becoming her shadow within the Elysium Haven. “Out of the seven women who arrived at Elysium Haven half a year ago, one wished to leave. She feels confident enough to find her lost child and survive in the outside world, while the others have chosen to stay and serve. They wish to guard the borders,” Donna reported, her tone proud.Petal smiled gently. “That’s good to know. Tell them that, although she leaves the Elysium Haven, she will always be remembered here.”Donna bowed. “I will.”The women leaving the Elysium Haven would leave as the best versions of them

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   277. ELYSIUM HAVEN

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW Using her powers, Petal managed to make her way back to her territory, though she had no idea how far she had run or how many hours had passed. Not once had she stopped to catch her breath. What she did know, more than anything, was that it wasn’t fear that had driven her to return with such urgency. No, it was something else...something deeper.It was the need to confirm what she had seen.“So, he really is real…” Her voice barely broke the silence as she stopped into the garden of flowers, her wide eyes fixated on the cliff before her. What should have been a waterfall and a cave was now just...nothing. The landscape was unchanged, but it was as if it had never existed at all.Slowly, she sank to the ground among the flowers, her gaze fixed on the place where the waterfall and cave should have been. Her mind felt foggy as reality slowly began to sink in. The man she had been seeing and talking to in her dreams since she turned eighteen...only he wasn’t ju

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   276. THE LYCAN

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEWHe didn’t look away. His violet eyes remained locked on her face, as if memorizing every little detail, committing her to memory with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine. His gaze held a mixture of longing and recognition, as if he’d been waiting for this moment for far longer than she could understand.Her breath hitched as she felt the heat of his chest against hers. Her breasts rose and fell with each shaky breath, brushing against his firm, bare skin. The sensation sent a wave of both panic and strange curiosity through her. Neither of them moved. Their eyes stayed locked, as if time itself had stopped around them, and in that moment, it felt like nothing else existed except the undeniable pull between them."Who are you?" he whispered, his hot breath brushing her lips.Petal blinked, her pulse racing feeling as if she had heard his voice before as she whispered back, "I can’t tell you."His gaze moved from her red eyes to her shivering lips.

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   275. THE BEAST

    THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW“No…” she gasped, her lungs burning as she fought the current, her limbs aching from the struggle. She could not control her body from being taken by the current and for a moment she thought that the river had almost claimed her, and that she would be drawn to death but with one final surge of strength, she pushed herself onto the bank. Her body trembled from exhaustion and she gasped harder with her heart beating like a wild horse. She collapsed onto the damp earth, blinking against the cold mist, trying to steady her breath. After a long time she slowly pushed herself up, and looked around her eyes widened in shock. The trees around her were unfamiliar—twisted, dark, and looming. The scent of the forest was strange, and the air felt too foreign. “Where am I?” Petal whispered, her voice shaking as she realized with horror that she had been swept far from her territory into an unknown place. In the past twenty years, she had never left the temple, and th
