81. Nicola's Notes

Chapter 81SERAPHINA~~“Ina…” I didn’t have to look up to know Kieran had just walked in. Also, I didn’t have to take my eyes off the papers I had just found about an hour ago with the help of Rexton, who was now sitting beside me on the floor of the lab, to understand the shock in Kieran’s voice. To Kieran, this, my action, probably looked like a betrayal…. Like I was dining with the enemy.But to me, it was just survival.“Kieran,” I uttered, finally letting my stinging, weary eyes meet his frozen gaze. “You shouldn’t be here.” At that point in our lives, I didn’t understand that those words were a slap in his face.Kieran didn't move. He didn't even blink. He just stood in the doorway, his hand gripping the handle so hard I heard the metal groan. He looked like a man who had walked through hell to find me, only to find me like this… in a compromising position with the same man he had spent the past few years protecting me from. “Lycan Beta. Fancy seeing you here.” Rexton,

82. Celeste's Blood

ALPHA REXTON~~I was at the hospital to check on Nicola that afternoon, but then I saw Seraphina leaving his room in a daze while some Healers rushed in, barking orders at each other. I could instantly tell that Nicola wasn’t in good shape. And even though I came here to see him, I found myself following Seraphina, walking slowly and cautiously behind her. Normally, she would have heard my steps or perceived me. However, none of that happened that afternoon, and I went with her to the lab, where she searched around for a while before I offered to help. “If only that Beta hadn’t shown up.”Kane seethed, snapping me out of my thoughts and causing me to finally move after what seemed like forever. I had been standing on the same spot Seraphina had left me, heart racing and lungs closing in as I wondered why the sweet moment we were having had to be cut short by that bastard. “We have to get rid of him,” I replied to my wolf, letting my legs move towards Nicola’s room so I could

82. My Enemy

SERAPHINA~~I spent the next week after Nicola’s crash in my bedroom, reading his notes and ignoring the rest of the world… All but my daughter, who had been spending the days by my side, even though I wasn’t able to play with her or focus on her for longer than five minutes. By the end of the week, I had succeeded in avoiding everyone, including Rexton and Kieran, whom I hadn’t spoken to since he had uttered my daughter’s name before Rexton. I had also gotten to understand what Nicola had drafted. Therefore, I woke up that morning and quickly prepared to go to the pack hospital for the first time in seven days. “Goddess, I’m drained,” Kia complained, yawning within my mind. “You didn’t stay up with me, Kia. Quit complaining.” I muttered as I pulled the door open.My cat grumbled, “But I didn’t sleep either.” I chuckled, rolling my exhausted eyes as I stepped into the hallway. However, before I could respond to my Lycan, a shadow shifted to my left.I didn't need to turn my h

84. Hybrids

SERAPHINA~~“You do know Nicola is alive, right?” It wasn’t until the next day that I heard those words, flowing out of my brother’s mouth as he looked at me like I had lost my mind while reading the journal and notes.My breath hitched… scratch that! I stopped breathing, and the leather-bound journal, the one I had been gripping like a lifeline for seven days, slipped from my fingers and hit the rug with a dull thud."What?" I whispered, my voice sounding like it belonged to a stranger.Damon leaned against the doorframe, his brow furrowed as he watched the color drain from my face. "Nicola. He survived the crash last week, Sera. I thought you knew, but clearly… You don’t.” I had woken up that morning and quickly got ready to go to the hospital. But I had to check on Kieran before I could leave the palace. Although I didn’t spend a lot of time with him, we finally spoke about what happened, and I assured him that I wasn’t mad at him. After bidding goodbye to Kieran, I rushed

85. Hot, Thick Earth

ALPHA REXTON~~Hybrids… Seraphina’s voice hit me, but what had me almost blowing my cover was that word.Before today, Nicola and I had been discussing ways to prove whether Celeste was mine or a bastard, and we finally decided to carry out a DNA test, even though we still weren’t sure about how we would get Celeste’s sample. “If the goddess is willing, we will get the sample before we leave the Lycan realm, but if not, we will have to wait until we return home to perform the test between you and Prince Arlo.”Nicola had said to me just before we heard the stampede of footsteps approaching the lab area. Kane perceived Seraphina instantly, and we didn’t miss her anger. I knew for a fact that she had just found out that Nicola was alive, and her rage was meant for me. “She can’t see or sense my presence!” I whispered to Nicola, panicking as Seraphina drew nearer. Nicola sprayed some clear liquid on my body and around the lab, telling me to hide in the inner room where ingredient

86. Into the Darkness

SERAPHINA~~No… Th-this can’t b-be… S-she can’t die. I whispered to myself, yet Nicola’s words and warnings reechoed in my mind despite the distance I had put between us. I couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t forced myself to initiate the conversations about hybrids today. What if I had listened to my gut and waited until Nicola wasn’t tired or busy? “My Moon would have kept suffering. Every day…” I whimpered to myself, my body shaking visibly as I held back the hot tears threatening to spill out of me. I didn’t even know when I made it back to the palace or how I got there without breaking down or screaming my guts out.But even the palace walls couldn’t numb the ache in my chest. In fact, they seemed to press in on me, the carvings and ancient portraits blurring into a distorted tunnel. My legs moved on autopilot, but my mind was stuck in the lab, replaying Nicola’s words like a death sentence.Who was I kidding? Those words were a death sentence

87. Along With Hers

KIERAN’S POV (7)~~Bliss. That was the one word that I could think of while holding Ina in my arms… lying on my bed with her. My intention towards her has always been pure, and even now, it still is, not because I wasn’t burning for her like any healthy man would when in this position with a beauty goddess like her. But because what I felt for her was much more overwhelming than lust. I just wanted her to be safe, happy, and… damn! What I would give to spend the rest of my life like this, holding her and watching her sleep. “Even if forever isn’t promised, the next few hours are. Enjoy it.” Alan muttered within me, euphoria zapping through him. I held on to my Lycan’s words even though it triggered an ache in my chest. I held on to the peace of the next few hours, and before I knew it, I fell asleep too.But just like I knew and expected, that moment didn’t last. In fact, it didn’t last as long as I would have wanted. “Lycan Beta…” That was the sound I woke up to. The sound

88. A Good Man

SERAPHINA~~The lightness I got to experience after I told Kieran everything wasn’t surprising. Talking to him about my problems always came with a relief… one that I couldn’t explain. It was just… just Kieran. “I couldn’t believe we almost lost this because of one silly mistake,” Kia grunted into my mind while Kieran sighed beside me as if the heaviness I left the hospital with had become his to bear. Kieran, who had sat on the floor with me, leaned his back against the bedframe and took my hands in his. “I know this is difficult, but she will survive it, and since there is a solution, you can save her.” “I hope so,” I muttered, still unable to believe that my hesitation to trust Nicola almost cost me my daughter’s life. “I know you can, Ina.” Kieran smiled, his eyes scanning mine. “Thank you. For always, K.” I breathed, using a nickname I rarely used these days. Kieran’s eyes glinted with shock, a small smile curving his lips.We sat in silence for a moment, the only sound

89. Dirty Thoughts

SERAPHINA~~“Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?” Kieran asked me after we had breakfast the next morning. Celeste had glared at both of us before she left the dining hall with Serena. Of course, my daughter had taken it upon herself to report yesterday's event to her uncle and aunt, even before we had dinner. Yet, she told them again this morning before breakfast. “We are mad at them,” Damon muttered, pointing at Kieran and me as he followed Serena and Celeste out of the dining hall a few minutes ago. So yes, Celeste has her supporters, and Kieran was offering to be mine because he knew the full story, unlike Serena and Damon. He knew how taxing the day was about to be for me. However, I had to reject his offer. “No, Kieran. You still need to rest. I don’t want you falling sick again because of me.”He rolled his eyes as we both walked towards the main door. “I am fully recovered, Ina. Come on.” "No, you aren't," I countered, opening up our S-rank link so I cou

90. A Legacy

ALPHA REXTON~~I was waiting. In fact, I had been waiting for so many things to happen to me and for me these past few days. With Lycan King Damon, whom I was desperately hoping to please, I was waiting for Freya or Jason to make a move that would confirm that either of them was the traitor. However, nothing had happened yet. “They know we are watching. So their next move will be surprising. We had better prepare.” Kane muttered through our link, speaking my own mind back to me as I lay on the bed that had been mine for weeks. I had shared this same thought with Lycan King Damien and Nicola as well, so that the warriors and the enhancing potions would be ready for what I believed would be a very brutal attack. Nicola… I was waiting for him to reach out and tell me. I have been waiting since yesterday, and the confirmation I was seeking seemed to be the only thing on my mind. Hell! Even when I tried to sleep, I couldn’t get that child out of my mind… the only thought that ca
