All Chapters of Mated To The Alpha King : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Seraphina's POVThe journey back to Valoria felt shorter than I expected.Perhaps it was because Kael was sitting beside me, holding my hand as though he didn't want to let go. Or perhaps it was because my mind was still occupied with everything that had happened at Shadowfang.Meeting his mother, spending time with Ismira, discovering the pack, and sharing those sweet moments with Kael had made the visit unforgettable.I had gone there as a nervous princess, wondering whether his family would accept me.I was returning with a heart full of happiness and a new sister I couldn't wait to see again.Unfortunately, all good things had to come to an end, at least for the moment.When we finally arrived at the palace gates, I noticed the familiar guards standing at their posts. The sight reminded me that I was back in Valoria, where I had responsibilities of my own.Kael stepped out first and offered me his hand.I accepted it, and he helped me out of the car."Welcome home, princess," he s

SERAPHINA'S POVThe birthday celebration continued, and the ballroom grew livelier with every passing minute. Music filled the air, guests laughed and danced, and the servants moved around with trays of drinks and delicious food.I had never imagined that a birthday could make me feel this loved.For years, I had spent my birthdays quietly, pretending that the loneliness inside me did not matter. But today was different. My father was happy, Ismira was practically glowing with excitement, and Kael was standing beside me, holding my hand as though he never wanted to let go.The music eventually faded, and one of the guests stepped forward with a glass in his hand."It is time for a toast!"Everyone began gathering their glasses."To Seraphina!" he announced. "May her life be filled with happiness, prosperity, good health, and countless beautiful memories. May the years ahead bring her everything her heart desires!""Cheers!" everyone chorused.I lifted my glass, smiling as the sound of

SERAPHINA'S POVI watched Kael's back as he walked out of the bedroom, and a small smile spread across my face.Last night was one I would never forget.I had celebrated my birthday surrounded by people who cared about me, received beautiful gifts, and become engaged to the man I loved. But the most precious part of the night had been the quiet moments I shared with Kael after the celebration.I had given him something deeply personal, and I didn't regret my decision. With Kael, I had felt loved, respected, and safe. He had never made me feel as though I had to prove my love to him.Thinking about our night together made my cheeks grow warm."Oh, Seraphina," I whispered to myself, covering my face with my hands.Why was I suddenly so shy?I shook my head, smiling, and glanced down at my left hand.The ring!My smile widened as I lifted my hand and admired the beautiful ring on my finger. The light from the window reflected off its surface, making it sparkle.Kael had proposed to me.A

Seraphina's POVThe following week began like any other, but by the time the sun rose, my world would be turned upside down.I had barely finished getting ready for the day when I heard a strange noise outside my bedroom door. At first, I ignored it, thinking one of the servants was passing through the corridor. I reached for the door handle, intending to step outside, but something made me pause.There was an unusual silence in the hallway.I opened the door.And froze.A body lay on the floor directly in front of my room.For a moment, my mind refused to understand what I was seeing. I stared at the motionless figure, my hand gripping the doorframe as my heart began to pound.Then I noticed the note beside the body.With trembling fingers, I picked it up.THE NEXT WILL BE YOU. THEN YOUR FATHER.A scream tore from my throat.I stumbled backward, dropping the note as tears immediately filled my eyes. I couldn't move. I couldn't think. All I could do was stare at the horrifying scene o

Seraphina's POVTwo weeks had passed since Kael and Ismira returned to Valoria Palace, and for the first time in days, I was beginning to feel like myself again.The nightmares had become less frequent. I no longer jumped at every sound outside my bedroom, and I had slowly started enjoying the little things again. I could sit in the garden with Sandra, laugh at Ismira's endless jokes, and spend time with my father without constantly looking over my shoulder.Most importantly, there had been no new threats.No strange notes.No suspicious discoveries.Nothing.But the silence didn't mean the danger had disappeared.I knew that.Kael knew it, too.He had never stopped investigating what happened at the palace. Although he tried not to worry me, I often noticed the seriousness in his expression whenever he received a phone call or spoke privately with the guards.Something was troubling him.And I had a feeling it was more than the palace attacks.That morning, I found him standing near
