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
Seraphina POVBang! The loud sound startled me. It would have been conventional if not for the fact that the time on the clock revealed it was two am in the morning and stills dark out. Perhaps it was nothing. I would have went back down to aleppong had another one not followed. I would thivj I wa
Alpha Lucius POV“There's someone Here to see you Alpha,” the guard at the door announced. “Who is it?” As far as I could tell, I had instructed everyone to put all hands on deck to find the man responsible for putting me on this bed. Also it couldn't be Helena because since yesterday night, I ha
Helena POV“No!” I yelled in the hollow of my cell. It was just me down here in this pitch dark, stench covered dungeon. How did I not see this coming? It was all working out well. The shopping trip was supposed to be a decoy, to pull out any fingers that might be pointing to me. Where were you wh
Helena POV“Guards, I want you to tear down this room until you find that potion.” Ten was the number of men he had put in the job. If it wasn't enough, he looked like he would add more. All hands were on deck; some on the bed, the shelves, cupboards, and corners. No corner of the room was spared.
Helena POVHow was my night? Well, I'm going to tell you. It was no pleasurable experience. My eyes were wide open in deep thought half the time and my thoughts roamed in constant wonder of the possibility that those men had done what I had instructed them to do. Apart from that, I sulked and was o
I had tiptoed to the Alpha’s door more times than I was willing to admit. But of course, his room was soundproof, so I did not hear anything. I settled for hiding in a corner that joined the living room and the dining room to wait. I waited, dozed off, woke up, and waited some more until I finally r
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
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
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
