21. A Broken Record

ALPHA REXTON~~The feel of her lush, juicy lips on mine caused my heart to quicken with excitement. I heard myself moan into the kiss, feeling a deep sense of relief because the long period of yearning was finally over. My arms snaked slowly around her waist, tracing the familiar curves as I pulled her closer… pulled her flush like... Like, I couldn’t get enough of her. “Wait for me, Sera.” Another pleasurable groan ripped past my throat, control slipping away with these words that sealed the deal for me: “I’ll come back and marry you, Sera. You just wait.” The words echoed through my being. They were more than just a vow I intended to keep. They were a lifeline I just knew I had to hold on to as I leaned in to claim those sweet lips again.But the moment fractured like a broken record. Suddenly, the happiness in those blue eyes faded, and Sera… my Sera was standing a few yards away, instead of being secured in my arms. And in her arms was a child. A baby girl. I tried to c

22. Princess Tanya

SERAPHINA~~It’s happening tomorrow. The gala that I have dreaded for the past week will happen tomorrow, and while I genuinely looked forward to picking Dr. Nicola’s brain, I still wish I didn’t have to attend."But you have to." Kia's thoughts collided with mine. "You know how important this is." Yes, I did. Over the years, Celeste has shown some unique abilities that I couldn't link to our people but I stumbled on some witch-related cases while trying to understand my daughter's symptoms, and from my study, I discovered that Dr. Nikola has conducted extensive research in that field.My stomach has been in knots, a constant tug-of-war between my desire for medical knowledge and the instinct to stay hidden in these silver mountains forever.“Don’t tell me you are overthinking again, Sera.” Those softly spoken words didn’t loosen the knots tightening in my stomach. Even though Serana wore a big smile as she stepped into my dressing room, her brows were raised as if daring me toa

23. My Past Trauma

SERAPHINA~~“We are here, Princess…” For the first time since we started the journey to the neutral ground where the gala was happening, Kieran’s voice hit my eardrums, yanking me out of my thoughts. I closed my eyes briefly, trying to calm myself and make my racing heart believe that nothing could go wrong. I mean, Seraphina wasn’t here. She couldn’t be seen even if that monster attended—“Are you okay?” Kieran’s voice resonated through the car once again. My eyes fluttered open as I nodded, “Yes. I’m okay. Everything is okay.”“Sounds like you are trying to convince yourself and not me, Sera.” Kieran’s voice sounded like the soft jelly I could always rely on. But rather than take the comfort he was offering, I glared at him and said, “You can’t call me Sera for the rest of the day, Kieran.” I immediately felt bad for yelling at him, but I was terrified he would make the same mistake when we stepped out of the car. “You really need to relax, Sera. This is Kieran, and he wou

24. Disgraced Luna

SERAPHINA~~The air felt thin. Or maybe my lungs had gotten too greedy with the past closing in on me. I wanted to turn and walk away. To disappear into the library annex and find the safety of Dr. Nicola’s medical theories or run back to Kieran, but my legs felt rooted to the marble floor.“I believe you’re mistaken,” I said, my voice steady despite the earthquake happening in my chest. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have matters to attend to.”I tried to step around them, but Camille shifted, blocking my path with a sneer. “Not so fast, doll face. You nearly ruined my dress. You owe me an apology.”I felt a spark of Kia’s bottled temper, but I inhaled deeply, calming the fire in my Lycan blood. I rolled my eyes, a gesture that suited the image I was trying to present. “I already apologized, even though you are the one who is in my way.”My nostrils flared as I took it a step further, hoping that the duo would realize I wasn’t someone to mess with. “If you can’t handle your champ

25. Cosmic Joke

ALPHA REXTON~~“This is awesome.” Dahlia whisper-yelled to me as we stepped into the party, her excitement rolling off her. Her face brightened up with every step we took deeper into the sea of desperate Alphas and Lunas. It’s our first outing together in years, so I understand her happiness. To her, this is a debut. Her one chance to show the world she is the woman beside the most feared Alpha in the territories. But to me, it is just another room full of people who would stab me in the back if I gave them a reason to think I was weak.“It should be,” I answered, feigning interest just to keep her happy. The effect of my entrance was instant.The music didn’t stop, but the laughter died down to a nervous hum. I saw Alphas pull their mates closer, their eyes darting to the floor as I passed. I had spent five years subduing packs and crushing rebellions; therefore, I had created fear in all their minds. “Alpha Rexton!” A portly Alpha from a minor pack scurried toward us, his

26. Bright and Hot

SERAPHINA~~Th-the world… M-my world had gone silent. The music, the clinking of glasses, and the hum of hundreds of voices had faded. It all vanished, replaced by a rhythmic, heavy thrumming in my ears that matched the frantic beating of my heart.It’s t-the m-mate bo-bond…It was screaming, but at the same time, it was a whisper, as if demanding and soothing simultaneously.It felt raw, slamming into my soul the second Rexton blocked my path. My wolf, who had been pacing just because Rexton was near, let out a confused yet clarity-induced, painful whine. “How?” I thought to my Lycan, my breath hitching as I stared into the eyes of the man who had cast me aside like trash. “How could he possibly be our mate?” “The moon goddess must have a sick sense of humor,” Kia grunted, holding on to her rage even though we could both feel the bond trying relentlessly to make me melt before this man. This is the same man who tried to kill me. H-how could I possibly be his mate? And why no

27. Mate Bond?

SERAPHINA~~Rexton’s questions resonated through the room, and for a second, I paused.The handle was cold against my palm, but I held on to it, keeping my back to him and praying he wouldn’t see the way my body trembled under the pressure of the so-called bond.“What mate bond?” I asked, my voice flat and empty. I turned slowly, tilting my head as if he were speaking a language I didn't understand. Yes, I denied the bond… and I would do it again. And again. Rexton growled, a low sound of pure frustration, and took a heavy step toward me. I mirrored him instantly, taking a sharp step back until I was pressed against the wood of the door.“Don’t pretend you can’t feel it, Sera,” Rexton rasped, his eyes searching mine with a desperate, burning intensity. “You know it’s there. It’s screaming. I bet your wolf is pushing against your skin, wanting to get to me.”“Actually, I don’t want that.” Kia retorted, seething into my mind. “And I’m no wolf. I’m a Lycan.” Rather than share Kia’s

28. Shackles of Death

SERAPHINA~~“Is that him?” A young teenage werewolf pulled the older woman's skirt to grab her attention. “Is that really Dr. Nicola?” The older woman, whom I presumed was her mother, nodded, mirroring the girl’s excitement. “Yes, Nora. It’s the best healer our realm has ever had.”I heard them whisper about Dr. Nicola’s achievements, and I realized that I wasn’t the only fan who would do anything to speak to him. Both old and young seek his knowledge, so I didn’t waste any more time. I turned to Kieran, barely containing my excitement. “I’m going to talk to him!”I could have sworn I saw Kieran’s reflection of the sparks in mine as he nodded in approval. “Hurry up before he gets swarmed.”Smoothing my dress, I stepped forward, pushing past my nerves as I subconsciously looked around for Rexton. I felt like a trapped mouse, even though I could feel Kieran’s protective gaze burning into my back. “Hello, Dr. Nicola.” I breathed politely as soon as I was within his earshot. A pai

29. Dark, Looming Storm

SERAPHINA~~Ethan’s eyes lingered on me for a second longer than his words echoed. Unspoken words glinted in his familiar eyes, but he blinked before I could decide if I wanted to hear them. Then he gasped, “Forgive my manners. “ He gestured to the curvy, dark-haired woman standing a foot behind him. Her eyes were sharp and observant as she stepped closer to Ethan, whose arms snaked around her waist. “Seraphina, I want you to meet my mate, Remi.” Ethan breathed, a small but bright smile on his face. I was stunned to know that Ethan found his mate, but I soon reminded myself that it’s been five years since he let me escape. A lot was bound to have happened.“Remi, this is my sister. Sera.” He concluded the introduction fondly. At first, I convinced myself that he sounded like that because his beloved mate was there with us, but when Remi spoke, I realized I was wrong. “The legendary Seraphina. I have heard so many great things about you.” Remi exclaimed, her eyes sparkling wit

30. Lycan Royal Beta

SERAPHINA~~These past five years, I have been training with warriors while studying medicine, yet I wasn’t prepared to hear a public declaration of war. War was normal to our people, but the mere thought of it made me sick to the stomach. “Might have something… everything to do with the fact that we lost the man who loved and adored us in a war.”Kia chimed in within me, and I completely agreed with her. Although Rexton didn’t die in that war six years ago, my Rexton died and never returned home to me. That war was the beginning of suffering and—and Dahlia.“It seems we need to tighten our security and prepare for war as well,” Kieran said to me, his voice low.I nodded, his words falling like a leaden weight between us as my mind drifted back to when injuries similar to the ones the council described were admitted in the Lycan hospital. “This is beyond the werewolves. It’s affecting our people too.” I whispered back to Kieran, my heart racing even faster than my unsettled th
