11. Worthless Wolf

SERAPHINA~~“Don’t answer his call.” Kia growled at the back of my mind as I stared at my phone’s screen.One second, I got a text from him, and the next, a call from him, like he had become an impatient puppy. Although I haven’t opened the text, I couldn’t just ignore his call. Not when he still had Celeste. My finger trembled as I swiped 'Accept,’ but I didn't say a word. I couldn't.“Sera?” Rexton’s voice was serrated, stripped of the authority he used to crush my pipes hours ago.He sounded frantic. “Where are you, Sera? Y-you really think you can hide? That you can run away with those monsters?”"Give me my daughter, Rexton." I gripped the silk sheets until my knuckles turned white, ignoring all he had to say. "If you have a shard of soul left, let her go."A cold, empty laughter came through the speaker. “You should have thought of her before you joined hands with those monsters. It’s you who doesn’t have a soul. Abandoning your child?”“I didn’t a-abandon her, Rexton!” I

12. Wolf Pack Ball

SERAPHINA~~“Break?”Rexton’s voice didn't just rise.It dropped into a heavy, territorial rumble that seemed to vibrate through the mattress and into my very bones. He seethed, his breath hot and smelling of whiskey against my skin, “You belong to this pack, Seraphina! Dammit, you belong to me, and we’re never-ending!”His fingers were like iron shackles around my ankle, his thumb pressing into the bone with a bruising force that made me gasp.“You’re hurting me!” I hissed, trying to jerk my leg back.But he only hauled me closer until I was forced to sit at the edge of the bed, eye-to-eye with the enraged beast he had become. “You can’t end us, Sera.” He whispered, his eyes dark with a manic sort of possessiveness. “You have nowhere else to go. I am the walls that keep you safe. Without me, you are nothing!”I looked at him, and for the first time, I didn't feel fear. Instead, I felt a cold, hard pity because he truly believed his own lies.H-he thought I w-was some rag he cou

13. Dual Lunas

SERAPHINA~~The urge to apologize was stuck in my throat. It was thick and suffocating.I wanted to tell him I was sorry for running away, for sneaking out like a thief in the night, and for being so weak that I crawled back to the same man he helped save me from.But Kieran didn't let me speak. As if he could see through me, he stepped closer, his presence acting as a shield against the hundreds of mocking eyes in the room."Everything is alright, Princess," He murmured, his voice softening just for me. "As long as you are okay, nothing else matters.""The King... the Queen..." I started, my voice trembling. "They must be furious."Kieran shook his head, a gentle, reassuring light in his silver eyes. "They aren't mad at you. In fact, they understand perfectly. They know you only did this to keep your daughter safe. The King told me to tell you that if staying here is what you truly want, they would be more than okay with settling the disputes between the werewolves and the Lycan

14. The Healing Potion

SERAPHINA~~T-that sound…It wasn’t just a cry. Not for me. It was a blade that sliced through the chambers of my heart.The bond between us twisted, filling me with the agony of my child as she wailed.“Please!” I cried, struggling to break free from the warriors’ hold. “J-just let her go. I will d-do anything—”Regardless of my plea… of my desperation, the dark Healer squeezed Celeste’s punctured finger, letting her blood fall into the ritual bowl. Instead of stopping the dark Healer, Rexton urged her to get more than enough blood, turning a deaf ear to my plea and Celeste’s cries. In fact, I could see the faces in the hall lighting up despite my child’s pain. “Dahlia, please.” I thought to change my approach since she was a mother too. “Please save my child, Dahlia. You know she did nothing to deserve this treatment.”“But you did try to kill my son.” Dahlia hissed, her lies vibrating through my marrow. “It’s time she pays for your sins, bitch.”With all hope lost, I watched

15. Intentional Bully

SERAPHINA ~~ Freedom was meant to feel good and taste divine, but mine tasted like anxiety, sweat, and the freezing night air that scorched my lungs as I ran alongside Kieran. Every stride away from the packhouse felt like a heavy weight was being dragged through my chest. I used to think this pack and its people were all I had. I thought that I was nothing outside this pack. But I have come to realize that I was never something to this pack. Every sweet memory I had tried to cultivate over the last twenty years had been scorched away, replaced by the horrific reality of what they had just done. The image of the silver needle piercing Celeste’s skin and the sound of the pack members cheering for her blood had erased any happiness I’d ever found here. “This place isn't home,” Kia grunted through the bond we shared. “It never was, Seraphina.” “Yes, it’s a prison I have mistaken for a sanctuary since Rexton chose me.” I thought back to my wolf. “Don’t slow down, Princess.” K

16. A Real Brother

SERAPHINA ~~ Despite staring at him with deep confusion, Ethan continued speaking, taking a step closer while I took two steps away from him. Ethan’s voice lowered. “I just need you to hear this.” He moved even closer as he begged for time that wasn’t even mine to give. “Let’s get out of here,” Kieran tried to communicate the direness of the moment to me. But before I could act, Ethan voiced, speaking so fast I almost missed some words, “You know what? I hated you for taking up space you never asked for… and I hated myself more for needing you to stay small.” “Why? I was the lowlife in your home.” I just couldn’t believe my ears. “You were the girl in the prophecy, or at least my parents believed that, and they wouldn’t stop talking about you. You got all the attention, and I was left to do things on my own. I hated it, Sera.” Ethan explained, his emotions running wild. He whispered inaudibly, as if to hide his shame, “I was intimidated. I believed I wasn’t enough

17. ETHAN’S POV (1)

ETHAN’S POV~~I stood in the center of the path, shadows stretching out all around me as the moonlight kissed the trees like a passionate lover.Fortunately, the sound of Seraphian’s footsteps and those of the stranger who had saved her twice more than me faded completely before the flickering orange glow of torches got to me. The warrior leading the search, Bash, burst into the clearing, followed by more warriors. Their chests were heaving and their eyes glistened with the thrill of the hunt. “Where is she?” Bash barked, his hand tightly balled around his sword hilt. “Her scent still lingers around you, Beta, which means she was here a few minutes ago.”I didn’t blink.I forced my expression into one of frustrated urgency and wore the same mask I’d had on for years while pretending to enjoy Seraphina’s suffering.“I perceived her scent, too. It’s why I rushed over here, but she doubled back.” I mixed a little bit of truth with my lies as I pointed towards the west border. “She mu

18. The Legitimate Heir

SERAPHINA~~“We are finally free.” Kia hummed happily in my mind the minute we crossed the invisible borderline. The air also changed, not just with the drop in the temperature, but also with the absence of the choking atmosphere of Crimson Moon Pack. The last time I felt this shift, I wanted to return to Crimson Moon Pack for my baby, but this time, I had no reason to go back ever again. But as the adrenaline finally ebbed, my body revolted. My feet, bare after I kicked off my shoes so I could run faster, have been shredded by the flint-edged stones and thorns of the neutral zone and soon gave way. I hissed in pain, stumbling toward the frost-covered grass.Kieran was at my side before I could hit the ground. He looked down at the dark stains my feet were leaving on the earth, his jaw tightening.“I’m fine,” I managed, though my voice was thin. “We just have to... keep going.”“You’ve done enough, Princess,” Kieran said, his voice a low, commanding rumble.Without a word of p

19. Big, Bad Beta

FIVE YEARS LATERSERAPHINA~~My chest rose and fell in rapid succession. My breath was harsh and deep as the heavy wind of the valley blew past me as I dashed through the cleared path. Or even more appropriately, the wind bowed to me.Kia tore through the high valley, her Lycan legs barely touching the earth. Her heavy footsteps echoed like thunder, adrenaline gushing through me even though I was behind the scenes, watching the beautiful scenery through Kia’s eyes. Beside me was a massive Lycan with fur as dark as shadows or even the midnight itself. He was one of the biggest Lycans around, even though he wasn’t Royal like Kia, and he moved with a familiar grace that made me smile. Kieran. He has been one of the constants in my life. One that I’m grateful for— “Don’t get carried away, Sera,” Kia grunted a warning through our bond. “I might be in charge here, but I still need you to focus so we can beat him this time.” Racing with Kieran has been a relaxing activity since I

20. Ruthless Alpha

SERAPHINA~~“Mommy!” Celeste’s shriek snapped me back to reality, and I once again buried the thought of my past like I have been doing for five years. I just couldn’t face the past, even though I have been told that doing so would hasten the healing of my soul.“You have to help me, Mommy! Please.” Celeste exclaimed amidst laughter as Kieran threw her higher. As soon as Kieran caught her, I stepped in to stop him from repeating the process. “You don’t want her to throw up all over you, do you?” Kieran chuckled deeply, holding on to Celeste’s body. “It wouldn’t be the first time.”Truly, it wouldn’t. Together with me, he has experienced the good and bad days of parenting Celeste. While my brother and Serena were Celeste’s favorite people, Kieran had stepped into the role of a dad. An excellent and available one, in fact.I watched them for a moment, my heart squeezing with a bittersweet warmth as memories flooded my mind. “We both know he wouldn’t mind becoming her dad full-t
