SERAPHINA “Ryker Wraithe” Lily’s brows furrowed as she processed the name. “Wait, isn't he the strange guy that you told me that ripped his own face off and returned after a couple of days with a new face and new name, gave you the love token, said he was chasing your heart, but then accused you of betrayal because you slept with Alpha Ronan?” She recounted everything I had told her. “Yes.” “Sera, why do you want to find such a crazy Alpha?!” Lily was taken a back. “Because when I touched Luna Victoria earlier I got a vision of a strange shadow that I believe was Ryker.” Her eyes widened, “That’s…strange.” “I know. That’s why I want to solve this mystery. Find out where Ryker is.” She breathed hard and stated, “Alright,” she reached out and plucked a hair from my head, “Since I don’t have his face, aura or scent, just a name that could be fake, I will try to use you to find him.” “Thanks.” “I will have to leave this territory and go back to the witch den.” I nodded a

SERAPHINA The moment I stepped into the lake with Ronan, everything else faded away. The water surrounded us, cool and still, but Ronan’s touch was fire against my skin. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me closer as his lips brushed my neck, sending waves of heat through my body. We moved together beneath the surface, our bodies gliding, intimate and slow, the weight of the world forgotten. His kiss was hungry yet tender, claiming me in silence. Breathless, I melted into him, our hearts beating in unison. With a final, lingering kiss, we broke free from the depths, emerging together in the middle of the lake. Gasping for air, I blinked against my wet lashes as Ronan ran his hand threw his hair pushing it back but his eyes devoured my naked chest as our bodies were barely an inch away from each other. "Every time I look at you, you get even more irresistible," he whispered, his lips crashing against mine.I kissed him back, our breaths mingling as the heat between us intensified

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW“What the hell is this place?” Austin muttered under his breath, taking a shaky breath as he stood in front of the large metal door. Beyond it, all he could see was thick mist. He had followed Alpha King Charles here, but he never expected to end up in such an eerie place.His wolf could sense something ahead, something dangerous, something sinful. Every instinct screamed at him to turn back, but his mind only remembered his Alpha's command.Before he could second-guess himself, Austin found himself climbing over a large metal door and leaping into the mist. Shifting into his wolf form, he moved cautiously through the thick fog, following the faint trace of Charles' scent. With every step, hesitation clawed at him, and his own breathing seemed unnaturally loud in the unnatural silence. The mist seemed to swallow him whole, making it harder to see, harder to breathe.Then, without warning, Charles’ scent vanished.Austin froze, his body tensing as his eyes da

SERAPHINA I sat by the lake, waiting for Ronan, when a strange shift in the weather caught my attention.“The rain is falling in only part of the area,” Phina murmured, her gaze fixed toward the clearing.I frowned at the strangeness of the weather. Half the sky was pouring rain while the other half was bone‑dry. Quickly, I slipped back into my clothes, ready to investigate when footsteps thundered behind me. “Luna!”I turned as Mace jogged toward me, breathless and urgent.“The man I sent to capture Dante Blackwood’s father, he found something,” Mace said.I stepped closer, pulse quickening. “What did he find?”Mace’s expression was grim. “Your suspicion was correct. All the Alphas who married those women every twenty‑five years…they knew those she‑wolves would disappear after giving birth.”My brows snapped together. “Why?”Mace met my gaze, his voice dropping. “Because…they were not real women.”I stiffened. “What?”He handed me a thick, weathered record book detailing generatio

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
