SeraI stagger two quick steps backwards, my pulse rising sharply beneath my skin as I stare at him in complete disbelief."You've gone freaking mad," I say, my voice louder now. "You are insane Kellan!"Kellan suddenly laughs softly beneath his breath, then he lifts a finger to his lips."Shhh," he murmurs. "Keep your damn voice down. There's no need to make a scene now, is there?"I continue staring at him, and his eyes remain fixed on me with an intensity that immediately unsettles my wolf."Kellan," I say carefully, "you need to leave now."But he shakes his head slowly. "No. I–I can't."I notice how fast he suddenly begins to breathe. "And I know you love me too. I see it every time you look at me."My lips part immediately. "Stop this. That was a long time ago–""You still do," he insists, taking another steps closer. "I know you may try to bury it under duty or loyalty, but I still see it in your eyes.""No, you don't," I snap.He barely seems to hear me, as his voice lowers ev

HelenaFor several seconds, I can only stare at the phone while it continues vibrating against the surface of the table.Graven? That bastard has the audacity to call now?My fingers close around the phone at once, and the moment I answer, the anger spills out before he can even say a word."You freaking son of a bitch!" I snap immediately. "Where in the seven hells have you been?"I begin pacing almost at once, fury rising hotter every second."Do you have any idea what sort of position you left me in? You break our arrangements and disappear without a trace after promising me results. And somehow I'm expected to simply pick you damn calls?"My voice grows sharper. "You nearly ruined everything! I should have known better than to rely on a man like–""Mother?"The word cuts through me so suddenly that I stop moving for a second. My grip on the phone tightens instantly, and for one disoriented second, I genuinely think I imagined the voice. But the voice sounds familiar.It is older

SeraI stand in front of the large mirror inside Aeron's chamber, fastening the necklace carefully around my neck while soft golden light spills across the room from the chandeliers above.The fabric of my gown settles smoothly against my skin, its silver and deep midnight blue woven together in elegant layers that trail softly behind me whenever I move. My hair falls neatly over my shoulders in loose waves, carefully arranged earlier by my attendants.For a moment after securing the necklace, I stand there staring at my reflection.The woman I see in the mirror still feels strange to me sometimes. Not because I do not recognize myself, but because I recall the journey too clearly.I inhale slowly as the image of the times the mere sight of me made pack members whisper beneath my breath. I see the stares, disgust, and cruel avoidance. I even remember being treated like something lesser because of the scent tied to my existence.And now here I am–dressing up inside the Alpha's chamber

HelenaThe servants and workers in the kitchen continue to move swiftly beneath the weight of the demands of the feast.Heat rolls through enormous space in waves while servants and chefs hurry from one station to another carrying trays, silver platters, bowls of sauces, basket of fruit, and more than enough roasted meat to feed half the entire pack.I stand still near the central preparation table, calm amidst the chaos. My eyes carefully follow every movement around me.Beyond the kitchen walls, the not so distant sound of applause and music drift faintly from the ceremonial garden outside. Even from here, the energy of the celebration is impossible to miss.Then the Master of Ceremonies echoes loudly that it is time for the great wine.Everyone in the kitchen heads it and erupts into faster movement immediately."Move quickly!""Hey! Careful with the trays!""We'd move more glasses to the tables of the Redmoon invitees."The chief butler steps forward at once and begins directing
