Serafine's POV“I love you, Mate,” I heard Silas whisper in a husky deep tone into my ears as he held my arms and pinned me to the bed.I opened my eyes, the room was dim-lit, and the only source of light came from the moon shining down on us through the open window.I kept my eyes on Silas.The hungry look in his eyes as he glanced down at my naked body made me want to rip myself free from his grip and go for him.“I love you too, Mate…” I whispered back to him, he pressed his lips on mine, I held my breath, as he stabbed his tongue into my mouth, searching for my tongue.I threw my head back and grabbed the sheets as our tongues met, he twirled his tongue around mine and cupped one of my molds, he fondled it and pinched my tits a bit and my toes curled.“Ahh… baby,” I moaned as his other hand found my folds. I kicked my legs and spread them apart as he teased me and twirled his hand around my folds.He pulled back from the kiss and went for my neck, he kissed the spot softly and suc
Serafine's POV“What the fuck…” I heard Pearl growl within me, she was enraged at how Silas, our mate, had betrayed us.I balled my fist as fury surged through my bones, I turned around and was about to leave when I heard a firm “NO!” inside me.Pearl continued, “No, Serafine, we can't let this go… you have to go confront him.”I nodded my head, Pearl was right, I wiped my tears and stormed up to them.Silas was shocked to see me, the other pack members started to murmur to each other as I walked up to Silas.“Here… you forgot your phone,” I said, handing his phone to him with a calm smile on my face.Silas gulped and took the phone from my hand, his eyes searching mine, I knew he was wondering how much I had heard.“I heard it all… Silas,” I growled at him.He bit his bottom lip and shut his eyes as I said those words.I balled my fist, “Hello everyone, I present to you, Silas's mate,” I said, spreading out my arms as I turned around for them all to see me.Their jaws dropped, and th
Serafine's POVI shot my eyes open and I saw Silas in front of me, his chest was bare and he had just pants on.“Sil…” I tried to say and he looked up at me, he grinned as a dark light flashed through his eyes.“Stop!” I yelled at him as I tried to push him off me.“Serafine, stop resisting… you are mine, your body belongs to me,” he growled at me as he started to unzip his pants.“Silas… I'll scream, don't do this,” I said, trying to be brave.I tried to crawl away from him, he held my leg and pulled me back to him, as he hovered over me."Let me go," I growled as I bumped my balled fist against his chest.“You're mine, Serafine… Mine!” He smirked.“Just allow me to have your sweetness and I promise to let you go… just be my sex thing, Sera.”“No!” I mustered the strength to yell, “I hate you, cheat.”He forced his lips on mine and started kissing me before I managed to free my face.“Fine then, I'll lock you in here and have you anytime I want… every time I want… until I am satisfie
Daniel's POV“What do you mean she is your mate?” I asked David, the youngest among us triplets, with a placid expression on my face.He had gone with Damien, the eldest among us on a mission in the Fiery Fang pack the night before.David came back early and he had this blonde green eyed beauty with him, and now my wolf has chosen her for me as a mate.“I found her, and my wolf chose her for me as a mate… what's so hard to understand there?” David asked me and it only infuriated me the more.“Well then, let her choose between us,” I said and shoved him aside.My jaw dropped when my gaze fell on the empty car, “Where is she?” David bent down and looked in the car and he balled his fist in anger the moment he realized she wasn't there.The door on the other side of the car was open and she had run away from there.David gritted his teeth and pushed me.“You see what you've caused!” He growled at me.I worriedly looked around but there was no sign of her.“You share my face, you share a
Damien's POVI shuffled my feet as I sat in the car heading back to my pack.I was deep in thought.A war is coming.I had gone to the Fiery Fang pack for a political meeting, but everything went south when the Alpha insulted my late father.My late father was a man of virtue, he never agreed to be fraudulent like most of the other Alpha.That was why he was loved by many, he was also hated by many because of his honesty and transparency.The other Alpha's saw it as him being weak, and also distanced themselves from him.I couldn't sit and watch the Alpha call my late father weak and I pounced on him, almost choking him to death, save for the invention of five of the guards that managed to pull me off him.The fight was bloody and even though I won and I had the upper hand, I knew a war was brewing.I turned around and saw my Beta, Henry sitting by my side, his expression was brim as he stared out of the window.“Was I wrong?” I found myself asking him.He turned to me and smiled soft
Daniel’s POVI heard my room door open and I looked up to see her standing in front of me.The light from outside couldn't make me see her face.I got up to my feet and approached her quickly, “You are here?” I said smiling.“Yes, my love,” she replied.I recognize that voice, “Isabella?” I asked.She nodded and stepped into the light and my heart sank.I bit my bottom lip in disappointment as Isabella stared up at me with her big brown eyes.“Of course, it's me… who else would it be, you asked me to come remember?” She asked and rolled her eyes before she batted her full lash at me.Fuck, I thought it was my mate.Why would I be so stupid to think it was her, she ran away from here so why would she come back here again?Isabella turned and walked towards my bed with her perfect curvy figure, she turned sat on the bed, and crossed one of her legs over the other as she placed her hand on the bed and rolled her head back.“I missed you, baby,” she said in a slow moan.I couldn't help bu
Serafine's POVI blinked open my eyes as the chirping of birds woke me up from my sleep.This scent, smells heavenly, where am I?I looked around the black-themed master's room with furrowed.I sat down on the king-sized when I felt a bang pain on my head, I grimaced and touched my temple to feel a plaster on my head.I felt it further and jumped down from the bed to a large mirror on the wall to see if it was a plaster around my head.I looked at the mirror and the first thing that caught my eye was the oversized pajamas I wore.I raised the collar and sniffed it.“Oh… it smells so nice,” I found myself saying with a smile.“Who could have brought me here?” I asked out loud and I stared at my wounds, “He even helped me dress my wounds.”I walked around the room as I shrugged, “Must be a nice person… he smells nice too,” I giggled to myself.The creaking sound of the door opening made me turn back to see who was coming in.My jaw dropped immediately when I saw a lady wearing a maid's
Daniel's POVI gritted my teeth as I stared at Isabella.“I thought I asked you to stare in the room, Bella?” I said as I approached her.She pursed her lips and balled her fist, “Daniel, I need an answer, who is she?” She yelled.I turned and saw her staring at us with large eyes.I faced Isabella, “Sshh,” I tried to make her calm down.“Why should I keep quiet?” She yelled out again.“You'll scare her, keep your voice down Bella,” I said through gritted teeth as I grabbed her arm.Isabella looked down at her hand where I held her tightly, “You're the one scaring me Daniel,” she looked back at me with wet eyes.I gulped. I had never handled her this way before. I was sure she was feeling so bad right now.“Isabella, why can't you just stay calm, I'll talk to you about this later, okay?” I said to her softly.“No Daniel, right now,” she said.I closed my eyes as I breathed out slowly, “Fine, let's go out from here first.”Isabella nodded and was about to move out, and I closed my eyes
"Let's get this over with."The words are still on my lips when the dungeon door swings open, and the man steps out, pulling me along with him. But before we can take more than a few steps, the sound of heavy boots echoes down the corridor. I froze, my heart pounding as Lucian's familiar silhouette emerged from the shadows, his cold eyes narrowing at us.What are you doing here?" Lucian demands, his eyes flicking with suspicion from the man to me and back again.The man's hand tightens on my arm for a moment before he releases me, his face smoothing into casual indifference. "Just checking the prisoners," he returned smoothly, his tone didn't betray him."I wanted to make sure everything was in order.A mocking smile curls around Lucian's lips. "You're not normally this watchful" he says, stepping closer to him. "What's the real reason you're here?Nothing in the man's face alters, but I catch a flicker in his eyes that says he works something out. "The ritual draws near," he says
"We are left alone again, imprisoned by this impossible choice and its weight presses upon me now more than ever."Days run together in a haze of dark depression. The chill, wet air rises up from the dungeon, filling our bones, and constantly reminds us that we are imprisoned. Every moment seems like a fight to cling on to that little hope. But despite all, I find myself awaiting Abigail's visits with a mind set to expect little or no warmth, yet still hoping something may penetrate that wall she has thrown up around herself.The next time she comes, she lingers by the door longer than she usually does, hesitates a second before stepping into the dim light. I see it in her eyes now, something flickering inside that wasn't there before. Is it a doubt? Or regret? I cannot tell, but enough to make my heart beat just a little bit faster.She sets the tray down in front of me, her eyes not even flicking in my direction before she turns to leave, but I just can't let her go. "Abigail,
"As much as I try to keep hope alive, I couldn't help this nagging feeling that Lucian's grip on Abigail was increasing. and the time for all of us was running out."The air was thick in this dungeon like the walls were closing in on us. Days will pass in tense silence, our minds focused on nothing else but the ritual that closes in with each passing heartbeat. We know we can't wait any longer. The more time we spend here, the more powerful Lucian will become over Abigail, over our combined destinies. And the more his power grows, the smaller our window becomes.We sit in the darkness, tired, and on our shoulders weighs the heavy mantle of our tiredness. No one needs to say it, but it's there, hanging in the air amongst us, like a ghost not invited.Susan breaks the silence. Her voice is soft but firm as she turns to each one of us. "We have to accept that man's offer," she states. "There's nothing else we can do.And then the words came like a kick to the stomach, and a moment pa
"I don't know. I really don't know."The words just seem to hang in the air, heavy with weight, almost choking. It is as if the dark dungeon walls are closing in on me as my mind finalizes the weight of our situation. The others are staring at me, their eyes drilling into me for some sort of answer, a decision that would somehow change everything. Only I don't have one. The very thought of agreeing to the terms of that man makes my skin crawl, and yet… the desperation in our situation is simply not to be denied."No," I whisper, shaking my head. "We can't… I can't do this.The triplets exchange a glance, their faces filled with a mixture of pain and uncertainty. Damien steps forward, frustration and sorrow etched on his face. "Serafine, we gotta think this through," he says in a low, urgent tone. "I hate the thought of it as much as you do, but what choice do we have?I glare at him, narrowing my eyes. "There must be some other way," I answer, though my voice carries no convictio
"Am I really on the right side?" The sound of Abigail's question echoes through her head The creaky door to the dungeon drags me back into the reality before me.I look up, expecting to see Abigail or another of Lucian's followers come inside to mock us some more. Instead, it is him, the man who has been to see us before the one that proposed such a crazy deal. He steps inside, into the poor light and as I have come to expect, a dark silhouette greets me with a curled smile that truly chills.Well, well," he says, his voice dripping with mockery. "It would appear that you still have not made a decision. I gotta say, for one so hesitant, it's quite disappointing." He moved closer, his eyes glowing with amusement and annoyance. "I am a busy man, and I don't like waiting around."We got nothing to say to you," Damien growls from the corner, his voice weak but defiant. "Go back to wherever you came from."The man chuckles, shaking his head. "You're in no position to make demands, w
This dungeon is cold,the walls heavy with the weight of despair. Every day is no different: I pace down the narrow corridor, carrying trays of food to my family,if they still are, that is. Chains rattle around me, their metallic clicking no louder than the guilt whispering in my ear. I force myself to remain calm, my expression cold, detached. I have nothing else for them to see. If I do, it all will fall apart.I set a tray down in front of my mother, and she reaches out, catching my wrist. Her touch is soft in every movement. "Abigail," she murmurs, her voice hoarse. "Please, you don't have to do this. You are stronger than what Lucian's influence has done. Come back to us.I pull my hand away, the gesture sharp, deliberate. "It's too late" I say, keeping my tone as flat as possible. "I've made my choice.But even as I say it, an ache burns hollow in my gut. I glance around at Serafine, the triplets, Amara, Susan,all of them shackled, weakened. They have been reduced to mere
"The last thing I see before they shove us into the darkness of the dungeon is Abigail's silhouette, bathed in the pale light of the moon."It was ironic that it would be a heavy iron door slamming shut behind us, right in the heart of cold, damp walls of a dungeon that seemed to swallow every echo of such shutting. Darkness seemed to choke, weighing in from every side, the weight of our failure pressing down on us literally. The air was thick with mold and damp earth, while faint tricklings of water somewhere only made it hang in the air even more heavily.I tug at the chains spellbound onto my wrists; with a tingling of magic, the metal seems to have sucked the strength out of me. I try and try but I cannot raise even a spark, much less the smallest manifestation of power. It would appear that my magic has been snuffed out, and the hollowness that does feel to leave me so-never before-has rendered me vulnerable.We need to get out," Daniel says in a hoarse voice from the fight.
"The battlefield erupts once more, but this time the threat comes from within. Abigail's power surges forth, and everything I thought I knew about this war shifts in an instant."I stand in shock as Abigail steps forward, her magic alight like an inferno. I can feel it-a raw, dangerous energy that I have never felt before. It's the kind of power that makes you feel the weight of air, makes it hard to breathe, one that rattles you down to your bones. And it's coming from my granddaughter.Abigail !" Serafine's voice breaks as she screams her name, trying to reach the little girl lost behind this veil of darkness and fury. "Please, listen to me! This isn't who you are!But Abigail doesn't heed my warnings. Her face is distant, her eyes aglow with that unnatural brilliance and the air between us grows thick with every passing second. Lucian is standing just behind her, the satisfaction twisted within his face, as if he revels in the view of his masterpiece unfolding.Damien then appe
The moment Abigail stepped forward, a dark storm of magic swirling around her, my heart sank. She was different, no more the little girl that I had seen growing up. Now she was strong and terrifying, an aura cloaked in shadows. The density of her energy was everywhere on the battlefield, and it was hard to breathe."Abigail!" I screamed, my desperation clawing at my throat. "You don't have to do this! Remember who you are!"But my words fell on deaf ears. Lucian stood behind her, an irritating smirk stretched across his face; he was enjoying some sort of grand performance. "You see how easy it is to manipulate a child?" he said, his voice slick as oil. "Abigail is the key to my plans, and nothing can stop us with her by our side!The pack was in disarray. Fear and confusion spread like wildfire, and I could see Serafine and David trying to break through to her, pleading that she remember love for her family. But Abigail's face remained cold, really implacable, her power crackli
