AUTHOR'S POV Dennis opened his mouth to say something else, undoubtedly another teasing remark, but he snapped it shut when he caught the darkening shadow approaching behind Serafina. Alpha King Daxton. His steps were smooth, measured, but the tension in his shoulders was visible to anyone who cared enough to look. His gaze was locked not on Dennis, but briefly on Serafina, assessing, unreadable, before shifting to his brother. Dennis straightened like a guilty schoolboy but wore a crooked smile to mask it. "Brother," he greeted lightly. Alpha King Daxton didn’t answer. instead, he turned to Serafina. His cold gray eyes locked with hers for a moment that stretched too long, too heavy. Serafina refused to drop her gaze. If he expected her to shrink away just because he was Alpha, he would be sorely disappointed. Already, she was mad at him; at least he shouldn’t try to provoke her any further. After what felt like an eternity, Alpha King Daxton spoke, his voice cutting clean

AUTHOR'S POV "And let you brag about it for months to come?" Alpha King Daxton asked, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. "No, brother. I couldn’t afford it." He dismounted with a single, fluid motion, his boots hitting the earth with a quiet thud. Another warrior rushed to take his horse. Alpha King Daxton handed over the reins wordlessly, his gaze already sweeping the small gathering. And then, it landed on Serafina. She sat under the umbrella, her posture elegant and still, framed by the sunlight. Her eyes were unreadable, cool as a winter sea. But even from this distance, he could feel the wall between them. For a heartbeat, Alpha King Daxton considered walking straight to her. But he didn’t. He turned instead, retrieving a bottle of water from a small cooler one of the servants held out, and drank deeply. Dennis, however, had no such hesitation. He strode toward Serafina with the easy arrogance of someone who had never been afraid of making a fool of himself. Hi

AUTHOR'S POV "Who unleashed the horse?" Alpha King Daxton asked, voice low and dangerous as his gaze travelled from one person to the other. No one spoke. The warriors looked stunned, their heads bowing in confusion and shame. They shouldn’t have neglected their duties even for a second. The Alpha King wasn’t going to forgive this. Lord Cassian, having just caught up, barked orders at a few of them to secure the remaining horses. Wanda panicked, seeing Layla standing at the side looking all guilty. It was only a minute before Alpha King Daxton found her and connected the dots, and she didn’t want that to happen. She doesn’t want Alpha King Daxton ever to know who unleashed Tempest and caused such a ruckus. It wouldn’t benefit her. After all, Layla had been in her care. She would have to take the blame. To distract Alpha King Daxton, Wanda stepped forward, her smile tight and her voice overly sweet. "It must have been an accident, Alpha. Perhaps one of the servants forgot

Alpha King Daxton's POV. I walked briskly toward the house, fury clinging to every muscle in my body like a second skin. My boots crunched across the gravel path, but I barely heard them. All I could see, over and over again, was the black stallion barreling toward Serafina, her figure frozen in its path. If I hadn’t moved when I did... I didn’t want to finish that thought, but sure enough, my wolf had other plans. "She could have died." Great! Perfect timing! He just knew how to upset me. Rhovan’s voice stirred in my head. "You are worried about our mate. Good." "Shut up, Rhovan." My jaw clenched. I didn’t need his commentary, not now. "Why are you still denying it?" I wanted to punch something. No, someone. Preferably him. If he were physical, I would have thrown him through a wall without batting an eye. "Who said I’m worried? I’m furious because the servants were careless," I snapped under my breath. "And because a mistake that big could have cost someone their life. Th

Serafina's POV. My body felt like it had been dragged down a rocky hill and tossed into a pit. Every joint ached, every inch of my waist throbbed where Alpha King Daxton had grabbed me. The force of it had left something more profound than just bruises. The kind of pain that lingered, coiled around bone and muscle like a silent threat. I knew I was weak. But I didn’t realize it was this bad. I sat on the edge of the bed, legs submerged in a basin of warm water as Arya massaged my sore feet. A steaming cup of herbal tea nestled in my palms, the scent bitter and earthy. Relief didn’t come quickly, but I welcomed the slow heat crawling through my veins. I took another sip. The moment the cup left my lips, Cora appeared like magic to take it from me. Then a groan escaped before I could stop it. Mira entered, arms full, a basin of hot water and a white towel. "Would you like some pain medication, my lady?" she asked putting the basin down. I shook my head. She sighed, unsu

Serafina's POV. I didn’t flinch as I held Alpha King Daxton’s gaze. The air between us crackled with tension, his towering frame casting a long, silent challenge I refused to acknowledge. His broad shoulders, now tightly drawn beneath his coat and his hair tied back in a bun, only made his expression more intolerable. Mira must have sensed the brewing storm because her voice came softly from beside me. "My lady." I blinked, finally pulling my gaze from his steel eyes and lowering it to Layla. The poor girl looked utterly confused by my words. She didn’t understand the little verbal jab I had just delivered, good, because no child needed to. I offered her a warm, calm smile. "See you," I said in a light tone. But the words were pointed, and they weren’t only meant for her. Just then, a sharp knock echoed through the door. Kira moved to answer it. A quiet exchange followed, and then the door opened wider to reveal Lord Cassian. His steps slowed upon seeing Alpha King Daxton
