SERAPHINA’S POVMy consciousness slowly seeps back into my body, but with my memory still foggy. When I finally my pry my eyes open, its suddenly met with the bright lights from the fluorescent hanging above my head.The sounds of arguing from wherever aids in the pain of my already throbbing head, making me realize that it’s the noise that woke me up - but I have no memory of ever falling asleep.Speaking of no memory, my surroundings are equally foreign.“How can you not let me see my roommate!” That sounds like Olivia yelling out to whoever she’s speaking to, furious for some reason.“This place has strict access to only a certain group of wolves.” Another voice that closely resembles Artemis responds more calmly.“But she’s my roommate, not one of yours - you’re the reason she’s like that in the first place.”“Get lost, omega.” He bites back, reluctant to give her what she wants.I wonder what’s going on again - why Olivia and Artemis are arguing over me, why I am in here, and wh
SERAPHINA’S POVFew minutes later, I’m standing outside the door with the tube of ointment in my hand, doubting everything I have just heard inside the room.All that talk about owning me for a month and owing him a debt. There’s no way he was serious, right? No way there’s a rule like that.Yet he left me with the rule book to go over it myself. I look down at the thick-rimmed book, knowing he acted way too cocky for it to just be a lie or a tease.I have a bad feeling about this.“Sera!”Olivia leans off the wall she’s been on while waiting for me for the past few minutes, hugging me tightly again. All the sore points on my body throbs all at once.Jasper that seems to have been with her all this while draws closer as well, putting enough distance between us while we have this very warm reunion.“I’m fine, we just had a little chat and nothing happened.” I assure her when she pulls away, but the look in her eyes lets me know it’s not enough for her.“How could you, Sera?” She begins
SERAPHINA’S POVAlmost everyone I walk pass in the school hallway throws me a smile and waves enthusiastically at me, so much so that it feels way too unreal and every time, I don’t know how to react - so I smile awkwardly.It feels as if it was just yesterday that I was scorned and made a target for the whole school to vent on. Today, I’m an accepted member of the society.Not fully accepted though. Even if the omega population in school exceeded other rankings, they only made up roughly 35% of the school population.I can work with that.Another person stops mid-walk to wave at me again and ends up being rudely brushed by someone else walking by, causing them to trip.I wince, knowing that definitely must have hurt, but he suddenly sits up with a wide smile again.“I’m okay!” He says without me asking.I chuckle at his bustling energy as I continue to make my way to class before the bell rings. I will admit that so much has changed in only a few days. My little win ended up giving
DISCLAIMER: THIS CHAPTER WOULD PISS YOU OFF, LOL.SERAPHINA’S POV“You have got to be kidding me.” I fold both arms below my chest, raising a brow at him while he spits utter nonsense.Clearly, all of this is just a joke to him.“You can’t be serious.”“Do I look like I’m not? I went this far to let you know the severity of it. The best thing you can do is honor this simple request from your new master.” He smirks wider.I scoff at him angrily - the word master irks my soul beyond understanding.“You’re not my master.” I correct him.“Less talking, more kissing. We don’t have all day, do we?”I stare down at his shoes, dark brown leather moccasins that look way too expensive and perfectly polished.My pride serves as a barrier, and a bitter surge of hatred runs through my veins. Do I have a choice? Can I still fight this? Fighting his cruel whims has only ever put me in bigger shit. Right now, stepping on his toes would do me no good – especially not with the backing of the rule book
ARTEMIS’ POVHer eyes give away her thoughts more than she realizes. She might not even know how easy it is to read her just from the faces she makes.Her eyes run over every square inch of my bare chest, like a thirsty pup, and there’s a very obvious gulp that happens before she tries to run away from me.I grab at her arm, dragging her into my room before she can cause a scene outside my door. A bit of pride fills my chest, knowing I’m probably the first guy she’s seen in a towel by her reactions.The second we’re in, she shrugs my arm off, putting so much distance between us and blocking her eyes whilst taking occasional peeks and rushing back to conceal them.“W-What are you wearing!” She stutters uncontrollably, not knowing where to keep her eyes.“Nothing actually. If you want to confirm, I can—”“Don’t you dare!” She screams, shutting her eyes tightly and I can’t help but chuckle from her reaction.That right there is proof that she’s seen no action in her entire existence, pro
ARTEMIS’ POVEven hours after she’s gone, her intoxicating scent till lingers in my room. For a strange reason, it invades my mind, my dreams, bringing with it subtle flashes of her face, her defiant green eyes, and those soft seductive curves. She dances around in my memory with a little mischievous smile, slowly going down on her knees and staring right into my soul with those electrifying emerald eyes. Fuck. Maybe I do want to fuck her. No, just her lips. I’d generously enjoy every ounce of pleasure that comes with filling that smart-mouth of hers with my length, pumping and pumping, thrusting till she’s gagging, desperate to have my cum drip down her throat as a worthy reward. These thoughts make me restless. I flip and turn around in my large king-sized bed, drifting in and out of dreams that carry whispers of her name and the dirty little things I’d love to do to her. I’m curious to know if a girl like her would really beg for more, or would she still be as stubborn, eyes
ARTEMIS’ POVFor once, the boys’ dorm is dead quiet, and the only sounds that fill the night are from my footsteps echoing across the empty hallways and the relentless pounding of my heart. It’s been minutes since I’d left Kamila in my room, and although I’d convinced myself that a breath of fresh air was what I needed, I’ve soon realized that the choked-up atmosphere follows me wherever I go, eating up my sanity.Being in that room with Kam or standing out here makes no difference, because the one thing I need to get away from is myself. The storm lies within me, so does the darkness and the rage. For once, I wonder if the goddess is the ironic villain in our story – maybe she’s having the time of her life just watching us fight and hurt each other. I bet she had her popcorn out just few minutes ago. That’s the most logical concept as to why we’re mates. Many times, I’d doubted if the bond actually existed but trust me, I’d felt it. It came to be from the first time I’d met Kamila
SERAPHINA POVArtemis should know better than to keep his enemy close – close enough to see all his weaknesses, his blind spots, and knowing exactly where to strike. 31 days is more than enough to give that jerk what he deserves.I just need to let him ‘own’ me, or better yet, make him think he does.Just before I head to school this morning, I branch to the boy’s dormitory, standing just outside the door that leads in, waiting for Artemis.It’s the last thing I want to do, and I never imagined I would be in this situation, waiting for my bully and the bane of my existence like this.Sadly, it’s all possible due to the stupid rules in school – but this time, it just might work in my favor.Even the fact that I have to wear this dog chain in the form of a pretty necklace with his initials makes it worse, reminding me every moment that I’m bound to him for a month.It’s just for one month, Sera – one month that I could make the most of.Minutes pass and a few other guys walk by, headed
