Rune POVI ordered my men to take Seraphina inside my house immediately after we got home while I remained outside scanning the vicinity for my next plan.If my agendas for abducting Seraphina are not strategically mapped out then, I may lose my chances forever.“ By tomorrow morning, I should be leaving this pack forever with Seraphina. No one would ever find us out, not even my brother would” I said to myself while pacing around in the cold of the night. My eyes narrowed as I heard my door slam. My men who had helped me with the mission were walking towards me.“Boss, she is still sleeping and has not moved her body since we laid her down “One of them whispered into my ears.The environment was not that safe for this mission so I did not neglect caution. “ The effect of the chemical substance is ever active and has a way of breaking down even the toughest” I grinned wickedly at my plans before tucking my hands into my pocket for some cash.I gave the men a good amount of money
Alpha Lucius POVWe arrived at Rune's house via the address Helena gave to us that day.“ Search every corner of the house for him and bring me the antidote to the poison” I ordered my men and they jumped down gallantly, raiding and encamping Rune’s house like troops of armies at war.I made sure that I went with a troop of men for the battle since I was not too fit because of the prison in my system which according to the healer, has escalated all over my body and now in my brain. Unless a strong antidote to the poison is given to me, I may lose my life in the end.Phelps did not go with the men inside Rune’s house; he had to stay watching out for me while I was still struggling with the last ounce of my strength to survive.“ My Lord, I think you should stay back home. It's not safe coming to fight Rune in this condition “ Phelps shot me eyes of concern, pitying my condition. My hands were clenched to my abdomen most of the time as the pain continued to increase inside of me like
Alpha Lucius POVWe entered our car and sped to the pack. It has been a long day filled with confusion and countless battles. I could not still believe that Seraphia came to the pack to supply fruits and I did not see her.It's been months since I saw Seraphina last. After all that Helena did to her, I guess this made her stop coming to pack. As I held my hands firmly around my stomach, I began to feel worse inside. It almost felt like this was going to be my end on earth here. “ Hold on my lord. We will get to the pack soon” I heard Phelps Spur in the face of death.“ I will hold on, Phelps. I will hold still until the end. I will not spare the life of Rune ” I replied, enduring all the pain I was feeling inside of me. Not so soon, we got to my pack and I ordered my men to search everywhere in the pack for Seraphina and bring her to me.“ I have to take you inside the pack and call the healer to come and take care of you,” Phelps said to me while we came down from the car.“ Br
Alpha Lucius POVThat afternoon, Helena had gone with us to find Rune together. In the car, I could feel my wolf trying to shift because of the outburst of anger.We drove speedily at some point after Helena told us that Rune could be on the Riverside. I was wondering what Rune was doing on the Riverside perhaps, he was trying to escape. “ My Lord, do you think Rune and Seraphina would be together in the Riverside? What would she be doing there?” Phelps said to me, breaking the unusual silence that settled in the car. I was very optimistic I’d find Rune. Once he was caught, then finding Seraphina wouldn't be an issue.“ Phleps, I know Rune is in the custody of everything I'm searching for and I know he knows where Seraphina is hiding” My breath hooked up in my chest, causing me to puff out uncharacteristically.Helena was seated in the front seat where I could keep an eye on her. Even though she was going with us on a search, I still had the urge to chop her head off her body.If
Rune POV Me and Seraphina have been on the Riverside waiting for our turn to cross. We were unable to make it yesterday due to the fault the boat developed so we had looked for a place to lodge around til this morning. The Riverside that day was pretty busy and Seraphina and I managed to secure a space in the boat before others came in.Seraphina was still weak even while in the boat with me. I intentionally wanted it that way so she didn't have to cause a ruckus since I was a popular person in that area.Not too long after I had struggled with Seraphina in the boat, I heard someone call my name from the shore. I wondered who it was because I was quite popular in the area. Narrowing my eyes around, I saw Helena standing by the shores waving at me.“ Helena,” I called, shocked to have seen her again. I had to excuse myself from the boat since it was yet to move due to a prolonged issue some of the sailors were having among themselves. I can't believe Helena was standing b
Alpha Lucius POVMy men carried Rune’s body while I carried Seraphina in my hand to the car. Seraphina was very weak. I realized so but I was able to save her from dying even though I was dying too. We got into the car and we all drove to the pack together with Rune’s dead body. Upon arriving at the pack, my men quickly carried Rune’s body out waiting for further instructions on what to do with his dead body.“ Bury him immediately,” I said to them while holding Seraphina in my hands.My men obeyed and were just about to take Rune away but he suddenly regained strength even in his pool of blood and sprang up.“ You think you can outsmart me? I have many tactics and will always be superior to you” He laughed, murderous but in pain at me so I turned to Plephs who was standing, ready to deal with Rune for the last time, and said to him,“ Take Seraphina inside and ensure she is safe. Let me handle this villain myself” I handed Seraphina to Phleps but suddenly heard the voice of her
Alpha Lucius POVAfter the drama outside, I appealed to Alpha and Luna to please go inside while I spoke with Seraphina.It was quite hard especially as Seraphina insisted she and her parents leave my pack but Alpha Nightshade and Luna Evlyn were kind to me.They had begged Seraphina on my behalf until she finally agreed to talk to me.Shortly as Alpha and Luna would leave, a sudden flush of serenity accompanied by guilt engulfed me as I stood a mile away from Seraphina with that unresolved pain tearing us apart.This is the toughest I have ever experienced before; standing by the woman you love yet avoiding her very eyes because of the guilt ravaging you from the inside. However, I can't keep letting the past tear us down and build an impenetrable wall of barrier between us again. In other words, I must do what is right to have the woman I love back to me.With that, I spurred myself and walked gently but with grace to Seraphina, the mate I had rejected, to proceed with my long jer
Seraphina POV“This would look good on you, my lady” One of the maids doing my make-up showed me a silver necklace that matched with the elegant silver nude dress I wore.I glared carefully at the necklace. “ This would be perfect. I love it ” I replied with a bright smile on my face and my maid put the necklace on my beautiful exposed fair neck.Glancing at myself from the mirror, I just realized how beautiful I looked.“ Wow! This looks beautiful” In exasperation I squealed, checking myself out in the mirror. Today is the best of my life. This was supposed to have taken place since the beginning but was hijacked by our common foes, Helena and Rune who are now in prison awaiting death.Today, Alpha would be officially announcing me as his mate and crown me as the Luna of Backthrone Manor. Two weeks ago, I had given birth prematurely to my cute son at Seven months due to the challenges and stress I had undergone a few months back.This had been a tougher dark season for me but
Suddenly and with what looked like a flush of the wind, I saw the car tailing us from the back suddenly overtaking us, and to my surprise, I heard the cab driver squealed. “ Woah, let the competition begin” “ Competition? Aren't you scared we might get into trouble” I taunted him and he even inc
Seraphina POVWhen evening came the next day, I decided to check my bank to know how much I still had left in me.Since my little quarrel with Helena, my business has pretty much collapsed. Not that I was scared of her but I just had to watch my back for now and if not for anything but because of
I snatched my phone back and dialed Adrian’s number. He picked up on the first ring as if he had been waiting for me.“How dare you?” I snarled. “Sera has nothing to do with this.”Adrian laughed into the phone. “Hello, brother. What do you want from me this fine evening? You do know that it is the
Alpha Nightshade POVHas something bad happened to her? Did she have an accident? Was she kidnapped? Was she dead? Was she so mad at me that she ran away from home?My breath hitched. That could be it. She was so mad when she learned that I lied to her about Lucius, painting him as the bad guy.Coul
“I'm sorry Seraphina but I didn't know to realize this on time especially because Rune here hid his identity and changed his name from Fenrir to Rune” I apologized to her and then turned to my men “ Guard! Take him away and lock him up” I ordered and Rune suddenly gave a wicked laugh. “Not so qui

Shera stayed quiet on the other end of the phone for a while.“But do you know them? Did you recognize who they were?”“No. I can’t even think of why anyone would want me dead.”“Me too,” Shera said, the cry now forgotten. I liked how quickly Shera moved on. Only if I could move on from Lucius that
Seraphina POVLucius is a very wicked man.He waited until I dialed my father’s number, waited while it rang, and waited until my father picked up the call before he tugged off the blanket from my body and started trailing kisses down my neck.“Have you found her?” my father asked.Lucius chose that
