*Seraphina*I couldn’t stop my eyes from traveling the length of his body. I remembered that he was well-built from the time I helped him back at Archeron, but this was the first time I’d seen him without any clothes except the towel around his waist. He was still wet from his shower, his hair dripping and emphasizing the gorgeous features of his face. There was a look of concern in his eyes, a softness in such contrast with the hard lines and planes of his body. My throat went dry as an intense wave of desire pounded through me. “Are you okay?” he asked, taking a step towards me. I couldn’t even remember what I’d come to find him for. My mind was a blank wasteland of nothing but the image of Alfred standing there half-naked. I felt my face heat up and turned around, immediately running to my neighboring bedroom. He called after me, but I shut the door behind me, my heart pounding like a drum. The scariest thing about this whole thing wasn’t that I was afraid

*Seraphina*I stood under the curtain of water, hoping to wash away the humiliation I felt when Alfred ran out of my room. It felt like there was a hollow pit in my stomach where shame and embarrassment curdled in an ungodly cocktail. I’d put myself out there, allowed myself to lose control for a split second, and the only thing that recklessness rewarded me with was a painful rejection. I felt like such a fool, just as I did when I’d forced that kiss on him back at the bar. Accidental or not, I couldn’t deny my reaction after. And now, I felt like I’d well and truly blown it.I sighed, increasing the pressure. I let the hot water slip down my body and soothe the muscles that had begun to ache. Slowly, I could feel myself start to relax as the spool of my mind began to unwind in the steam of the shower. That’s when the electricity suddenly cut out, and everything was plunged into darkness. Startled, I tried getting out to reach for a towel, but because my eyes

*Seraphina*I didn’t even respond at first because I was so taken aback. I remembered what had happened the last time I’d gone shopping and how harsh his reaction had been to all the clothes I had bought. I knew that he took me for some kind of superficial, materialistic person, and it was a thought I didn’t enjoy. There wasn’t any point in trying to explain my reasoning behind why I did what I did, and I didn’t want to feel belittled or judged again for doing the same thing now. ‘Um… is there a special occasion coming up or something? What’s the reason?” I asked, suspicious. Alfred heaved a sigh, as though he didn’t feel like answering the question. “Does there have to be one? If you’d rather skip the offer and spend the rest of the day doing something on your own…”“No,” I said quickly, then blushed at the speed of my answer. “I mean, no, that’s fine. I’d be happy to go shopping with you.”He pressed his lips together before nodding, and the two of us split u

Seraphina’s POVShe was stunning, an ethereal beauty that seemed almost too perfect to be real. Her long, blonde hair cascaded in waves down her back, and her eyes sparkled with an almost otherworldly light. She wore a dress that hugged her curves perfectly, and every movement she made was graceful and elegant. I recognized her immediately—Madeline, the famous pop star whose face graced billboards and magazines everywhere. I had seen her records in Alfred's room once and had thought he was just another fan. How naive I had been."Alfie, you're back!" Madeline's voice was as melodic as her singing, and she moved towards him with a grace that spoke of years in the spotlight.Alfred's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly composed himself. "Madeline, what are you doing here?" he asked, his voice a mix of shock and curiosity."Alfie, you're hurting my feelings, "She put her hand over her cheek to feign heartbreak. "After all these years, is that all you have to say to me?"
Become Alpha King's Faked Cousin Chapter 37: A night to forget
Seraphina’s POVI never imagined I'd be in this situation, but here I was, facing my worst fear. Alfred’s ex-girlfriend, Madeline, was back, trying to win him over again. My heart was being squeezed every time I thought about them together.We continued our discussion over dinner. I didn't know if it could still be called that, considering it was well past midnight. As we ate, my mind was racing. I could barely taste the food. I needed to know where his heart truly lay. I took a deep breath and tried to sound casual, even though my heart was pounding.“If you’d like to get back together with Madeline, I would beg Garfield to allow her to continue pursuing her career,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. But it felt like I was betraying myself by even suggesting it.Alfred's face darkened. He put down his fork and leaned back in his chair, staring at me with a mix of frustration and hurt. "Why would you even say that, Seraphina? Do you think I’m that fickle?"My eye

Seraphina’s PovI felt a pang of disappointment, a weight in my chest that grew heavier with each passing second. Alfred was with Madeline, and it seemed he had no time to care about anyone else, least of all me. I glanced at Elliot, grateful for his help. The alcohol had hit me harder than I anticipated, and I could barely stand. Elliot noticed and, without a word, lifted me up and carried me out to his car. The night had started out innocently enough. I had been trying to enjoy myself, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Alfred and Madeline. The more I thought about them, the more I needed to drown my sorrows. Drink after drink, I tried to numb the ache in my heart. Each sip seemed to dull the pain, but only temporarily. It wasn't long before the room started spinning, and I could feel my legs becoming unsteady beneath me. I needed to talk to someone, to pour out the confusion and pain swirling inside me. As Elliot drove, I turned to him and asked, "What kind of person i
Become Alpha King's Faked Cousin Chapter 39: A Family's Embrace
Seraphina’s Pov I didn't expect the call from Madeline. The number on the screen was unfamiliar, but the voice was unmistakable. I had no idea what this pop star would want to talk to me about. Given my current situation as Alfred’s “cousin,” I posed no threat to her. It seemed unnecessary for Madeline to meet with me. Despite my reservations, I agreed to have lunch with her. Curiosity got the better of me—I wanted to understand the girl who once held Alfred’s heart. The restaurant Madeline chose was elegant, with soft lighting and an air of sophistication. I arrived a few minutes early, my nerves getting the better of me. As I sat at the table, I couldn't help but wonder what she wanted to discuss. When Madeline walked in, she was radiant, her smile genuine and welcoming. She approached me with an enthusiasm that was both surprising and disarming. "Seraphina! Thank you so much for coming," Madeline said, her eyes sparkling. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting.""Not at all," I

Seraphina’s PovI stood by my bedroom window, staring out at the sprawling gardens of the Vanderwood estate. My decision weighed heavily on my heart, twisting it into knots of uncertainty and regret. I had agreed to help Madeline, to give her a chance with Alfred, the man she loved. It was a selfless act, one I knew was right, but it didn’t make the pain any less bearable.I had to be strong. If I was to stay Garfield's niece, Alfred and I could never be together. It was better this way. Madeline was more suitable for him, and she could make him happy. I had to believe that.My plan was simple. I would invite Alfred to lunch, using my name to ensure he would come. But I wouldn’t be waiting for him at the restaurant; it would be Madeline. This way, they'd have a chance to talk and reconnect, to speak honestly, and perhaps rekindle what they once had.The day arrived, and my nerves were beyond calm. I paced my room, wringing my hands as I went over every detail of my plan.
