Cursed by Fate, Bound by Mates のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

SERAPHINAThe sound of Severin’s chuckles both sounded equally amusing and annoying to my ears. I’ve never had someone sound so amused with my sarcasm and attitude; mostly, they’re not pleased with it. I don’t really care, but this guy... It’s like it’s his first time laughing in his life, so much so that it’s almost too innocent, too child-like, and pure.“I’m not your personal clown. Stop laughing.” I ordered after a moment. He’s enjoying it way too much.He halted on laughing, but his smile didn’t falter. This time, it looked more genuine. “Apologies. I haven’t laughed like that in a while. You’re really interesting, Sera. Very fascinating.”“Well, I didn’t do that for your entertainment. I hate it when people look down on me for what I am. They have no right to do that.” I already have myself to hate. I don’t need more people to do that.The appetizers eventually arrived. The waitress gave us a small smile as she served the food and eventually left without much delay.“Of course,

SERAPHINAI slid the glass towards the she-wolf, who looked like she was in a bad mood. She lifted her head, and with a straight face, she asked, “Do you have wolfsbane here?”“Depends, do you intend on using it for yourself or someone else?” I asked with a small grin.Of course, we don’t have it here, and even if we do, I won’t give some to her. I know those vengeful eyes. It’s almost the full moon, and it affects our mood, and it’s bad to act on instincts during this time.Besides, I would have used it myself if we had some here… I should probably take that advice myself, but oh well.Her eyes changed to her wolf’s, “I’ll pay no matter how much it costs. I just need to get back to my cheating ex. That bastard! I’ll never trust men again. Never again.”“We don’t have wolfbane here,” I said after letting her pour her heart out. She glared at me, “Then why did you ask in the first place? C’mon, sell me some. I won’t tell on you. I’m not an idiot either. Of course, I won’t let myself g

SERAPHINA“Sera, do you need help?” Eros asked, glaring at River. It wasn’t really a question at this point, but if I ever said yes, I’m sure it would be chaos.Eros is the head of security at the Velvet Fang. He’s also a hybrid werewolf-bloodhound demon. He doesn’t acknowledge his demon heritage, and his werewolf blood is more dominant. We all consider him Aida’s honorary beta. He’s very serious with his job, and that’s mostly the reason why I remained unbothered about rude customers aside from the wards surrounding the building. I genuinely thought everyone was cool with River, but I guess that’s not the case. That look was complete mistrust and annoyance.Meanwhile, Rem was glaring at Severin. I don’t know why he’s so pissed off at him, but I’m starting to share the sentiment. More people came out, and I just wanted this damn parking lot to open up and eat me alive. I really should have walked away and acted like I didn’t hear Severin earlier. Then maybe, I’m already close to home

SERAPHINARiver looked at me with slight amusement in his eyes. “You’re still annoyed, aren’t you?”My lingering thoughts halted because of his remark. I perfectly understand where he was coming from. I suddenly don’t know whether to be thankful that he changed the topic first or annoyed because I was being teased again for my problems with control.I smiled sarcastically.“Annoyed is an understatement. I almost feel betrayed by my own wolf. It’s not fun. I’m already struggling as it is.” I uttered, feeling like a fool. “I’m not a kid, for goodness’ sake. I shouldn’t be struggling with my control. My wolf even refuses to talk to me after what happened. It’s not fair, damn it!”“Hey, your wolf only reacted to your emotions. Besides, even adult werewolves lose control once in a while, too. It’s not just the teenagers or younger kids. Most are just too embarrassed to tell about it.” River said casually.I turned to him, a little suspicious. “Are you just telling me that so I won’t feel e

SERAPHINA“Seraphi-” I glared at Severin after he tried calling me by my full name again,He bit his lip, “Sera, I mean Sera. Please let’s talk.” Severin leaned closer to the bar, urging me to fold and talk to him.I smiled sarcastically, “If you don’t stop that, I swear, I’ll fetch Eros to ban you here. Good luck with your work.”My threat is pretty much useless for sure. Even if the security banned him, I’m sure his bosses would find a way to pressure the owner into letting him in here again. I have no idea how much reputation Lucien has in their faction for this place to be built in the first place, but I doubt he would have the last word on this matter if the elders of the faction were to talk to him.His shoulders dropped, and he eventually backed away, staying seated and pursing his lips. I glanced at him again and grimaced at his expression. “You look like a duck. Stop that.” I said while busy cleaning the wine glasses.Severin puckered his lips even more. I glared at him, stop
