Seraphina's POVA week had passed since the incident under Kaelos's desk, and we had managed to keep a safe distance from Callista. At least, that's what we thought.The Starbucks café on the corner of Washington Avenue was always crowded at lunchtime, with the strong aroma of coffee mingling with the voices of young Seattle executives.The three of us were sitting at a corner table near the large window facing the street, with Callista sitting across from Kaelos and me."So Director Harrison really approved the female soldier training program," Callista said, cutting into her club sandwich. "He said it could be a pilot project for other divisions.""That's amazing, Callista," I smiled, stirring my salad. "You're really passionate about gender equality in the workplace."Kaelos nodded, chewing his burger. "I'm proud of you, little sister."The conversation flowed naturally, and for a moment I felt relieved that we could return to our normal dynamic. Callista talked about resistance fr

Seraphina's POVA week. It had been a whole week since Callista had ignored us, and the house felt like a silent war zone.I sat at the kitchen table, picking at the soggy cereal in my bowl while staring at the empty chair where Callista usually sat.The sound of her footsteps upstairs told me she was getting ready for work, but I knew she would wait until Kaelos and I left before coming down to the kitchen."Morning," Kaelos muttered as he entered the kitchen, looking as tired as I felt. The dark circles under his eyes showed that he hadn't slept well either."Morning," I replied softly.We both heard the bathroom door close upstairs—Callista was taking a shower. Kaelos and I exchanged glances, both thinking the same thing: at least thirty minutes before she would come down, which meant we had time for breakfast in this sad peace."This can't go on," Kaelos said as he poured his coffee. His hand was shaking slightly—either from the caffeine or the stress."I know." I pushed my cereal

KAELOS'S POVI had just closed the front door after a long afternoon jog, still sweaty and breathing heavily, when I heard footsteps on the stairs. Two pairs of footsteps, walking side by side.I stopped in the middle of the living room, staring up at the stairs in confusion. For the past week, Callista had always made sure she wasn't in the same room as us. And now..."Kaelos?"Seraphina's voice. But there was something different about her tone—lighter, happier?"Yeah, I'm here," I replied, still staring at the stairs.And then I saw them. Seraphina and Callista, walking down the stairs side by side, their hands intertwined, with smiles on their faces. Genuine smiles. Smiles I hadn't seen in a long time.My heart stopped for a moment."Oh my Goddess," I whispered, almost unable to believe what I was seeing. "Did you two...?""We talked," Seraphina said, her voice trembling slightly with emotion. "We actually talked."Callista stepped forward, and for the first time in weeks, she look

Seraphina's POVI stood in front of the bathroom mirror, adjusting the collar of the navy blazer I had chosen for today's meeting. The color was formal but not too intimidating—or at least that was what I hoped. My hands trembled slightly as I combed my hair for the third time."You look perfect," Kaelos said from the doorway, already wearing his white shirt and black suit. He looked every inch the Alpha—confident, authoritative, handsome. Although still young to lead the Pack, he had proven himself since taking over the leadership after his parents died."I don't feel perfect," I replied honestly. "I feel like I'm about to walk into a lion's den."He came closer and put his hand on my shoulder. "Remember what we discussed. Be honest, be respectful, but don't let them intimidate you. You have every right to be here."I nodded, taking a deep breath. "Okay. Let's do this."The trip to the Pack House felt longer than usual, even though it was only a fifteen-minute drive. Kaelos held my h

SERAPHINAThe sun had just risen as I stood at the edge of the Nightveil Pack's training field, wearing the simple black workout clothes Callista had prepared for me. The morning mist still hung between the trees, creating a mystical atmosphere that strangely felt fitting for what was about to happen.Three days had passed since the meeting with the Elders. Three days I had spent in suspense, wondering what kind of test they had planned to prove my worthiness as the future Luna.“Are you ready?” asked Elder Beatrice, approaching with a gentle smile that somehow did nothing to ease my anxiety. She was wearing a traditional ceremonial robe, and behind her walked the other Elders, each carrying an object I couldn't quite make out from this distance.“As ready as I can be,” I replied, though honestly, I had no idea what was about to happen. Kaelos had given me vague information about what would be tested, explaining that he wasn't allowed to tell me in advance.Elder Thorne stepped forwar
