Semua Bab The Billionaire Lycan King's Rejected Heiress : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Seraphina’s POVSilver light exploded outward from my hands, bright and blinding, rolling across the grounds like a living tide. It hit the first wave of attackers and they stumbled back, shields and weapons clattering, snarling in confusion and pain. The power did not burn or kill — not yet. It pushed. It held. It made every wolf and warrior who stood against me feel exactly what I had carried for years: the weight of something far greater than themselves.I stood firm, feet planted deep into the stone steps, breath steady even as my whole body hummed with energy I had never dared to fully unleash. Every pulse, every heartbeat, every memory — loss, rejection, fear, love, rage — fed the glow. It was not magic I had learned. It was not power I had stolen. It was me. Every part of me I had hidden, suppressed, locked away to survive. Now it was free.Close beside me, Alexander fought with a ferocity that shook the very ground. He moved like fire and steel combined — fast, precise, deadly

Seraphina’s POVThe heavy iron door clicked shut and silence swallowed the chamber whole. Only the faint flicker of torches broke the dark, casting long, twisting shadows across stone walls carved with symbols older than any history I had ever been taught. I turned slowly, running my eyes over every line, every mark, every shape etched deep into rock — and suddenly I knew why this place felt so familiar, so much like home, yet so terrifying.This was the birthplace of my bloodline. Here was where the first Source was born. Here was where the power was guarded, studied, passed down — and here was where it was always meant to be protected, never stolen.I walked slowly along the walls, fingers brushing cold stone, reading the story carved into it line by line. I saw figures — women with glowing silver light, men standing guard, wolves bowing low. I saw scenes of peace, of healing, of binding packs together. And then I saw the darker parts — warnings. Curses. Stories of those who tried to

Seraphina’s POVSunlight poured down the wide stone steps as we stepped out of the tunnel entrance, bright and warm and clear, washing away every trace of dark dust and old fear. The air smelled of fresh grass and blooming flowers and the clean, sweet scent of morning. For the first time in as long as I could remember, there was no smell of blood, no taste of panic, no heavy weight of danger pressing down on my shoulders.But the quiet did not feel empty. It felt full.Everywhere I looked, people stood waiting — guards, servants, warriors, wolves in human form and wolves in their true shape — all turned toward us, heads bowed, expressions soft with relief and reverence. They had seen the power. They had seen the battle. They had seen what I was, and what Alexander had become, and what we were together.And they did not look at me with fear anymore. They looked at me with hope.I felt Alexander’s hand tighten gently around mine, his fingers laced firm and steady through mine, warm and s

Seraphina’s POVThree days passed, and every hour brought new reports. Messengers traveled back and forth between our estate and every corner of the lands, carrying news and requests and warnings. Marcus led teams to old archives and hidden vaults, searching for every scrap of writing that might speak of the First Enemy. Corin stayed close to me, going through records found here at home, piecing together history that had been buried for centuries.I spent my mornings with Luca, teaching him and learning from him in equal measure. He understood more about his own gifts than I did about mine, and he spoke of the wolves and the land as if they were old friends. I taught him caution and kindness and the truth that power was only good if it served something greater than itself. He listened seriously, his small face thoughtful, and I knew he would grow up brave and true, no matter what came for us.Afternoons I spent in meetings, sitting beside Alexander as we spoke with pack leaders and eld

Seraphina’s POVMorning came but the light did not. The gray mist hung thick and heavy, turning sunrise into dull pale glow, wrapping every wall and tree and field in soft endless shadow. I stood at the window long after dawn, watching it drift slow and silent, feeling how it pressed against the outer edges of my power, testing, probing, searching for any crack or doubt or fear to slip inside.Last night had been only the first strike. It had gone straight for the deepest wound we carried — the hurt between us, the years of lies and separation, the guilt Alexander still held close to his heart. It had used his own voice, his own memories, his own regrets to tear at him. And it would come again. Next time it would try me. It would dig into every time I felt worthless, every moment I believed I was nothing, every tear I cried alone when I thought he had cast me aside forever.I felt him step up behind me, his arms wrapping gentle and firm around my waist, his chin resting lightly on my s
