SeraI felt my bones freeze up at his words and searched his gaze in the mirror before us.A faint smile played at the edge of his lips as his fingers worked quickly and with expert precision to undo my corset.“What do you mean consummate, Alaric? I'm not ready for that.!” I shrieked and tried moving from him again.His other hand held my wheelchair still while he pulled the last string of the corset.A pleasurable groan nearly left my lips.“If I leave it up till whenever you're ready, you might as well die a virgin.I don't have that patience and you have a duty to fulfil as Luna.”“The duty of being your legal breeder?” I challenged myself.He raised his hands in a defeated pose, his eyes on mine in the mirror.“Hey, you said it, not me.” I pursued my lips and pinched the tips of my fingers repeatedly, a habit that was meant to calm me down but was doing the opposite right now.Alaric's gaze washed over me through the mirror, landing on my fingers before moving to my hair.He pul

SeraMorning came with only one thought in mind: Find something to keep myself busy with.Preferably something to keep out of Alaric’s sight and soothe my chest from the burning anger that still remained from the previous night.By the time a maid stepped into my room to help with my morning activities, I was already cleaned up and changed into workout pants, a tabletop with a tight fitted jacket around it.“Do I bring your breakfast here?” She asked as I stepped out of the bathroom wrapping my thick curly hair in a messy bun.“Don't bother. I'll let you know when I need it.Where is the workout room?” I inquired as I pulled a pair of sneakers from the shoe cabinet and proceeded to throw them on.“ At the end of the hallway, my Luna. I can take you there if you wish.”“There won't be any need for that.” I replied.Once my shoes were fitted on, I wheeled my chair out of the room and headed for the end of the hallway.All the workers of the palace seemed to be awake and going about thei

Sera“How many years has this structure been in place?”We were now making our way back into the house after Sorrel had taken me for a quick tour through the gardens, the stables that raised a number of purebred horses, and a green house which he said belonged to Alaric's mom.Now my eyes were fastened to the gargoyles placed at the centre of the compound, spitting sparkling water from its mouth.“It dates back to the early hundreds. After years of being prosecuted by the rest of the world, the ancestors discovered this land, paid a healthy sum for it and named it shadow lair.”“Then werewolf refugees started arriving, gradually filling up the town below and the name was changed to Wolf Noir pack.” Sorrel explained.I leaned back into my chair, nodding slowly as I was wheeled up the ramp and to the patio.“Do you care to explore inside?” He asked.“Yes.” The guard pulled the door open and we weaved through.He started the tour from the numerous visitor rooms that lined the entry corr

Sera“Calm down Sera.” I admonished myself, taking in short gasps of air.I hit my chest softly with a curled fist for it to relax but it only thumped harder and more angry.I branched off the corridor leading to my bedroom and headed towards the glass patio doors.They were unlocked so I slipped through immediately grateful for the cold night air that whipped my face.Those damn elders! I gazed into the pool which was lit by the million stars overhead, Ajax annoying voice replaying in my head.‘My duty was to bring forth heirs’I wheeled my chair closer to the pool, a ball of heat rising in my tummy and wondered if I could go for a swim in my condition.I shouldn't try it.Ajax could inform the maids or guards not to save me and inform the Alpha and people of the tragic death of their Luna by morning.I bit my lips, staring quietly into the still pool and pondered on the idea of consummation.Mother used to tell me that she and father disliked each other during the early months of t
