All Chapters of Fragments of a Vow: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Caelum Blackwood strode forward with his son, Liam Blackwood, in his arms. His Alpha aura forces the surrounding werewolves to part and make way for him automatically. A messenger from a neighboring pack hurried after them.He asked, "Alpha Caelum, I heard you wrapped up the border negotiations in Freca yesterday and rushed back overnight. Why the hurry? Did something urgent concerning the pack require your immediate return?"Among the werewolf packs, Caelum was well-known for having an icy disposition. But upon being asked those questions, he unexpectedly showed an incredibly gentle smile to the transmission crystal in the messenger's hand."It's my Luna's birthday today. So, of course, my pup and I have to return to spend time with her."His voice was low and powerful, and it spread through all his territories via the transmission crystal. He added, "To me, anything that has to do with my Luna is of the highest priority."The tiny Liam raised the leather pouch in his hands a

In the past five years, Caelum had given Seraphina many pieces of jewelry. She could tell at a glance that the bracelet and the moonstone necklace from the night before had been carved from the same rare moonstone. It was originally meant to be a matching set.Seraphina's lips curved into a mocking smile. "Ms. Klein, it seems your family loves you very much."Caelum and Liam had split a complete set of jewelry into two pieces—one for her and one for Rayna. It was just like their love, which was apparently also divisible.Rayna smiled so brightly that her eyes were all scrunched up. "Yes, they always say they love me the most. They also spoil me silly."Caelum and Liam seemed to be afraid that Seraphina might notice something, so they fussed over her throughout the entire journey.When she gave a light cough, Caelum immediately removed his coat and draped it over her shoulders. Then, he poured warm water from the thermos and brought it to her lips with gentle concern.Liam also to

By the time Seraphina regained consciousness, a whole week had passed.When the healer saw her stirring, he hurriedly alerted Caelum in delight."Luna Seraphina, you finally woke up! Alpha Caelum and Liam brought in almost every healer from all the territories. To pray for your safety, Alpha Caelum even offered a rare white deer to the Moon Goddess and wished for all the blessings to go to you so that you would wake soon. "They'll be overjoyed to hear that you're awake."Before he had even finished speaking, Caelum and Liam hurried into the room.Upon seeing that she was awake, they immediately pulled her into a tight embrace.Their voices were trembling with fear and relief. "Sera, you finally woke up. Do you know how worried I was this whole week?"Liam's eyes were red as he said in a choked voice, "Mom, I was so scared you wouldn't wake up."Caelum seldom cried. Yet, Seraphina felt a hot tear fall onto the back of her hand. Tears welled up in Liam's eyes too.Still, their

Caelum and Liam answered in unison, "We're not tired at all!"Liam held her hand. His eyes were sparkling. "It's something I'm doing for you. I could never be tired, Mom."Caelum gently pinched her cheek with affection. "Sera, no matter how busy or exhausting pack affairs are, the moment I see you, all my fatigue disappears. Besides, today is our anniversary. We celebrate it every year. No matter how busy I am, I'll still come back."Seraphina simply smiled and said nothing more.Caelum set down the cake and immediately went to the kitchen. He had given all the maids the day off and planned to personally cook several of her favorite dishes for their anniversary.Liam refused to be outdone. He pulled over a small stool. Then, he began to cut some fruit to make juice.They busied themselves the whole morning. By the time all the dishes were finally placed on the table, it was already afternoon.Caelum lit the candle shaped like a seven. He held her hand with eyes filled to the bri

On the other side of the city, Caelum jolted awake from a nightmare early the next morning. He sat upright, panting heavily. Instinctively, he lay back down and pulled the person beside him into his arms. "I had a terrible dream last night. I dreamed you were leaving me. I kept chasing after you, but you never looked back. Thank the Goddess it was only a dream. I'm so glad that when I opened my eyes, you were right here, my sweet Sera."Rayna, who had been feeling happy and content in his arms, froze for a heartbeat when she heard the name he uttered.Then, she wrapped her arms around his neck and said with a pout, "Caelum, I'm the one who stayed with you last night."Caelum's tender expression stiffened. He sat up again, pressing his palm hard against his temples."What are you doing here? I remember saying last night that Liam and I were going home," he said with a frown.Rayna slid forward and hugged his waist. Her bare body was pressed against his back. "Have you forgotten,
