All Chapters of Burned by My Ex, Reborn as His King's Mate : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kaelos's POVThat night, I sat in the back corner of a fancy bar with Mark, sipping a glass of aged whiskey while discussing the increasingly tense situation with the Crimson Moon Pack. The dim lighting and hushed whispers of the patrons created the perfect atmosphere for our sensitive conversation."No suspicious movements yet," Mark reported, his voice barely audible. "But our intelligence indicates they're planning something. The question is when and where they'll strike."I stirred the amber liquid in my glass, considering our options. "What about border patrols?""Doubled, as you requested. But Kaelos..." Mark leaned forward, his expression serious. "I still think sending Callista for training now might be too soon. She could be useful here.""She could also be a target," I replied bluntly. "My sister's safety is non-negotiable."Mark nodded, understanding the firmness in my voice. We both knew that family always came first. The Crimson Moon gang wouldn't hesitate to use her agai

Seraphina's POVI was relaxing on the sofa that afternoon when an Omega servant gently knocked on my door. When I opened it, he stood there holding the most beautiful bouquet of cornflowers I had ever seen—dozens of flowers in shades of golden yellow and cream, their delicate petals catching the afternoon sunlight streaming through the window."These are for you, Miss Seraphina," he said shyly. "They were just delivered."My heart raced as I took the flowers, inhaling their sweet, delicate scent. Cornflowers had always been my favorite—their simple beauty and cheerful colors always lifted my mood. But how could someone here know that?I searched the flowers for a card and found a small, elegant note between the stems: "May these flowers brighten your day. - K"Suddenly, my phone rang. Kaelos's name appeared on the screen, and I felt the familiar thud of my heart in my chest."Hello," I answered, trying to sound casual despite the smile that almost broke through."Did you receive the f

Seraphina's POVAs soon as I entered the luxurious VIP room, with its dim lighting and soft music, Callista approached me with a curious look."Seraphina! You finally came!" she exclaimed as she hugged me. But a second later, she stepped back and stared at my face with raised eyebrows. "Why are you so red? Do you have a fever?"I stammered, searching for a plausible excuse. "Ah, that... I bumped into the taxi door when I got out. So my face is a little red," I lied, touching my cheek, which still felt warm.Callista was still staring at me suspiciously. "Hmm, that's strange. You're not usually so clumsy." She pulled me to sit on the comfortable sofa. "By the way, who did you have dinner with? You look... different tonight. Are you secretly dating someone?"My heart was pounding. "No, it's just a friend. A friend from college," I replied as neutrally as possible.Callista's green eyes narrowed, staring at me with a look that made me feel like I was being interrogated. "Seraphina, I've

Kaelos's POVI didn't do this to give Darius a chance. Quite the opposite—I wanted him to understand the consequences of betraying Seraphina. And more importantly, I wanted to see how Seraphina would react to her former fiancé. Were there still feelings left? Had she truly moved on as she claimed?The wolf inside me growled impatiently. It wanted to show dominance, to let Darius know that Seraphina was now under our protection. But the rational part of me knew this wasn't about marking territory—it was about testing how strong Seraphina was now."Alright," Mark said hesitantly. "But if they start causing trouble, I'll have security escort them out."A few minutes later, the VIP room door opened and Darius entered with two others. The first was a man of average height with blond hair—probably the beta of his pack. The second... Vesper. Of course, she came along.Darius's face changed drastically the moment his eyes caught sight of Seraphina. He clearly hadn't expected to find her here,

Seraphina's POVThe next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed, though my head was still a little dizzy from the wine the night before. The aroma of coffee and pancakes wafted from the kitchen, and I knew Kaelos had already woken up."Good morning," he greeted me as I entered the kitchen with my hair still messy. He was already dressed in a navy blue business shirt and formal pants, looking like a true CEO."Morning," I replied, rubbing my eyes. "You always wake up this early?""Habit," he answered, pouring me some coffee. "By the way, what about the job offer from yesterday? Have you thought about it?"I almost choked on my coffee. "Kaelos, I already told you—""Seraphina," Callista suddenly appeared from her room, her hair even messier than mine. "You have to accept that offer.""Callista—""Listen," she sat down next to me seriously. "You can't keep relying on your savings. And now you're officially part of the Nightveil Pack, right? That means you need a decent job here."Kaelos no
