SERAPHINA

“I love you,” he confessed, crushing his lips to mine but my world titled.

His lips pressed softly against mine, not demanding, not rough. Just…warm. Gentle. As if he was afraid I might shatter in his arms. My eyes widened but I could not move. All I could feel was his lips on mine, the heat of him, the way his fingers cradled the back of my neck, the tenderness of that single moment, it stole the breath from my lungs and left my heart pounding so loud I could barely hear anything else.

There was no force. No roughness. Just heat and an aching tenderness that wrapped around my bones like silk set on fire.

My heart slammed against my ribs, each beat louder than the last.

Every part of me stilled except my wolf, which moved without thought closer to his wolf, caught in his gentle command. His kiss wasn’t wild. It wasn’t demanding.

It was hot.

It was beautiful.

It was also my first kiss.

The moment that truth sank in, my breath hitched sharply.

I stumbled back, the cool air hi

    SERAPHINA After my mother died, my father replaced the toy sword in my hand with a dollhouse. My friends were swapped for the daughters of Alphas, my place in the training yard taken from me and replaced with the suffocating “Play Room,” where I was molded into the image of a perfect Luna.Act according to your mate’s wishes.Follow his orders without question.Speak only when spoken to.Fulfill your duties as a wife in bed, as a Luna to the pack, and—above all—produce a son.An heir.And then one day, I asked my father, Why a son for an heir? Why not a daughter?His reply was as cold as winter steel. “Women are weak.”Those words tore something inside me wide open. And from that wound was born the Seraphina my father hated to have brought into this world.And right now, as I listened to this arrogant Alpha spit the same poison, that buried monster inside me stretched and bared its teeth.“There are no rules,” Alpha Jude announced, stepping back. “You go home when the other stand.”

    SERAPHINAWhy did none of them question me? Where had I disappeared? What happened?The more I thought about it, the more a strange heaviness began to coil deep in my chest, tangled with the odd way they’d all been treating me the past few days.“Cat got your tongue, Seth Darven? Or can’t you come up with an excuse when you’re suddenly called out?” Cassius sneered, yanking me from my thoughts.“He just can’t admit in front of Grace that he’s nothing but a pussy,” Reed drawled.The clearing burst into laughter. I stared at the fool spewing nonsense, desperate to be a hero in front of the others.Before I could speak, a growl ripped through the air, deep and sharp enough to silence the clearing. Even I jolted.“Speaking ill can get you killed sometimes, you know,” Finn’s cold voice cut through the noise like a blade. His eyes locked on Reed, and for a brief moment, even Reed’s smirk faltered. “Seth Darven was with us, risking his life, going into the underground brothel as a dollboy jus

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   135. WHY?

    SERAPHINAAfter my conversation with Grace, my heart was restless. I began replaying every argument between Ronan and me, questioning whether I’d overreacted to his possessiveness. The unease was so heavy I couldn’t bring myself to wash the meat near him. I ended up taking another job. I needed space to untangle everything between us.“Can I have some meat too?” Asher’s deep, velvety voice came from my side, warm enough to curl against my skin.I glanced up to find him smiling, fresh from the hunt, broad shoulders still damp from sweat and the earthy scent of the forest clinging to him. Thanks to him, everyone was feasting on fresh pork tonight.“Of course,” I matched his smile and served him a generous portion.

    SERAPHINAWhat did she just say? My eyes snapped wide. “Love quarrel?”Did she find out I was a woman? Or worse, was it Ronan’s love interest that had me caught? “Don’t think I didn’t notice,” she smirked.My stomach dropped. Even Phina froze inside me, realizing Grace might have caught on. If that was the case, I was in serious trouble because she wasn’t just anyone. She was Alpha Gideon’s daughter and the soulmate of Alpha Jude. Two Alpha instructors who could expel me faster than I could blink.“Your face tells me that I’m right,” she said, her smirk turning downright wicked. My pulse thundered in my ears, my legs threatening to give out. She leaned in, her voice silky. “Don’t worry. Nowadays, it’s normal.”Normal?Every worst-case scenario flashing through my head came to a screeching halt. “Normal?” I echoed.A she-wolf sneaking into an all-boys Alpha academy in disguise was normal?“Since when?” I blurted.She gave me a baffled look. “What century are you living in? Of course i

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   133. GOOD FOR NOTHING

    SERAPHINA The leaderboard was updated three days after we returned from the Nightshade Alley. I didn’t dare risk my lunch for it, if I didn’t eat first those assholes would steal my share. So, only after I’d completely filled my stomach did I make my way to the Grand Hall.I was excited. Okay, really excited, to check the rankings, but the crowd of tall Alphas had completely blocked my view. I was trying to squeeze past them when a warm hand suddenly closed around mine.My breath hitched, heartbeat quickening. Slowly, I looked up only to find Asher, not Ronan.“Let’s go,” he said with a smile.I smiled back automatically, letting him guide me through the crowd. No one dared to block his path. Still, deep inside, my heart thudded even harder because I realized something ridiculous. I’d been expecting Ronan.It had been three days since I’d started avoiding him. So why was Asher suddenly holding my hand? The other day in the garden, his gaze had lingered on me differently…“Shit! It’s

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   132. CONFRONTATION

    RONANI knew I’d messed up but I hadn’t expected to fuck things up this badly. Seraphina didn’t just avoid me, she ghosted me like I never existed. She’d switch directions the second she spotted me coming, vacate any space I was already in, and if we happened to be stuck in the same place, like the training grounds where walking away wasn’t an option, she’d treat me like I was invisible. After what I saw between her and Finn, his fingers brushing her lips, the way he smiled at her with that cocky charm, I’d barely kept from tearing the whole place apart. The way he looked at her, talked to her; it was obvious, Finn was more than interested in Seraphina. And what was worse? She hadn’t pushed him away. She let him touch her. Comfortable. Familiar. Like I’d never existed at all. Calming down after seeing them like that? Was fucking impossible. But I swallowed it, locked it in a cage, because I didn’t want to blow it any further. Not after how I’d already snapped the night she came back
