SERAPHINA’S POVI can’t believe I let it get that far, succumbing to desires of the flesh. I blame it all on my lack of a dating history.Yeah, that’s probably why my body reacts that way just from his touch. I’m a horny 18-year-old virgin. Sue me.My own heart pounds faster, and the room feels too hot that I fan myself with my hand, just to feel a little bit of breeze.The next time I turn to Artemis, he’s holding a broom brush, pounding at the floor with a frown on his face.“Hey! Would you keep it down there? We’re trying to watch a movie.” He yells to whoever it is blasting the earsplitting music.My eyes fall to the said movie with the credits already rolling in, but I make no comments on that.“Who is it?” I ask now when my voice doesn’t feel shaky.“That bastard; Jasper. Ace is probably out fucking some chick somewhere else, leaving the entire room to him, so he can do shit like this.” He fumes, running his fingers through his hair in a frenzy.I guess that means that the night

SERAPHINA’S POVThe entire crowd mutters endlessly after the shocking news is dropped on every one of us.People's attention is fixed on the surprising revelation that they are mates, yet they fail to realize the most important issue at hand - the reason behind Artemis's earlier assault on Trevor.“What does he mean when he said that you should have confronted him head-on instead, Artemis?” I ask him now, already getting a sense as to where all of this is going - but I don’t want to believe it.He doesn’t look me in the eyes though, avoiding my gaze and the question all together, but Morgan does.He shifts his sinister gaze to me as though just noticing my presence, and a paralyzing fear grips my spine at the sheer madness in his eyes.“Oh…” He chuckles bitterly. “You didn’t tell your little pet what you did, did you?” He breaks into a manic laugh that echoes through the halls. Artemis takes a threatening stance closer to him now, warning him with those cutting blue eyes to shut the f

ARTEMIS’ POVSera walks away from me without turning to look back - not even once.I smash my fist into the wall just to let go of some of my anger, but it’s still not enough; just like how nothing I do is never enough.I break my back, and yet all I get are glares and constant complaints. Hell, I haven’t even done this much for Kamila, and she still thinks I’m selfish.I walk back to where I came from earlier- an empty classroom not presently in use.Entering, Ace looks up at me with a bored expression as always. On the other side is Jasper, leaning over a beaten up and bruised Morgan, tied up and tossed in a corner.I only managed to hold back temper by a thin leash while Sera was there, so I could maintain the image I’m trying to build up with her.The soft, gentle, kind Artemis.But the second the bastard grabbed her, I lost it and everything just went blank from there. I still don’t know why.“How’s it going?” I ask, resting against a bench.“He’s as stubborn as a brick wall, Art

SERAPHINA’S POVI have stayed up all through the night, reading my mysterious red book all about the Astria tribe, learning more about a bit of their culture - but it’s still not enough.The knowledge I am able to amass from this book is limited, scrapping just the surface. I can’t quite place my finger on it, but I know for a fact that there’s more to it.My heart pounds faster, and I just know it in my heart that there’s so much that I need to know, more to disprove the rumors about them being evil witches that ate hearts.None of that was in this book, proving the fact that it’s all just bullshit conspiracies made by wolves just to make the history of their Wolfdom sound more noble. But I can smell some serious bullshit going on.The only issue is that I’m just about done with it, and there’s no other info on it I can find. Everything else on the Astria tribe in the school library is the rewritten version of how they were the villains and the wolves were the victims for centuries.

SERAPHINA’S POVMy eyes are definitely playing tricks on me. Yeah, most definitely.I’m sure I was back at school selling cookies to get some funds for my campaign, right?Yet, somehow, I’ve been transported to what seems like older times, in the midst of huts on fire, and the strong stench of blood, smoke, and death around me.Then there’s the large, black wolf standing in front of me with blood-red eyes that seem to almost glare. Fear cripples me and freezes me in place, and I’m unable to let out a sound or run away.It slowly draws closer, a menacing aura that even I, a human, can feel. It oozes off the beast that I know for sure is a werewolf and a higher ranking one definitely.His presence is almost as powerful as Artemis’. Almost as superior as the Alpha King’s.He growls now, baring his blood-soaked teeth with chunks of raw flesh hooked between them at me. My heart drops instantly. Unable to scream or run, I brace myself, getting ready to be ripped apart by its jaws.“Sera!”
