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 sucked it hard.
Oh fuck, I swear that would leave a mark.
I rolled my eyes back as the pleasure wave struck me, I arched my back even more and pushed myself towards him, begging him to give me his lengths.
As if he understood my body language, he lifted his head and with his eyes locked in mine, he thrust into me slowly.
“Mmm…” I moaned as I dug my fingernails into his back, “Yes… baby.”
He parted his lips as he placed his hands by my head and went harder, “Ahh,” he groaned and gritted his teeth.
My legs shook violently as I was near climax, “Baby… yes.”
He closed his eyes as he held on. I could tell he was near too. I moved under him, meeting up with him, and the sound of our bare bodies smacking filled the room.
“Oh… yes,” I let out slowly as I poured, and he placed his lips on mine and I could feel him pour out as well.
He pulled out of me slowly and rolled over, his chest heaving up and down as he stared at me, I turned to him and I could see the love in his eyes for me.
Silas took my hand and kissed it, he pulled me to him and I pressed my head into his chest as he circled his arms around me.
“Thanks, baby.”
He was silent, I could tell from his steady breathing and his light snoring that he had fallen asleep.
I snuggled up tightly to him and closed my eyes.
I had so many reasons to be thankful to him, all my life I had faced ridicule and mockery from everyone in the pack.
I had lost faith in humanity, until a few months back, I found my mate, Silas, he is so kind and considerate.

It was morning, and the ray of the morning sun shone down on my face, I pressed my eyes shut before I opened them slowly.
I could feel Silas's arms around my waist holding me to himself, and I smiled to myself, I turned around to face him, and he blinked his eyes open.
“Good morning, Mate,” he said in a deep rumble.
I pressed my lips together as I tried to stop myself from smiling sheepishly, “Good morning, Mate.”
I remembered something and my expression switched into a frown as I lowered my gaze. He noticed it and furrowed his brow as he asked, “What is the matter?”
I bit my bottom lip and lifted my gaze back to meet him, “When are we going to go public about our mate bond?”
Silas fell silent for a while, he brushed his hand over my hair and replied, “Serafine, I suggest we wait until I succeed my father as the pack's beta… after that, we can announce our love and mate's bond to the entire world.”
I smiled, I knew he was right, he had to be stable in his position before he would tell everyone about us.
“Okay… that's fine… I'll wait for you, my love,” I told him, I raised my head and planted a kiss on his lips.
He rolled on me and started placing kisses all over my face, as he slowly got down from bed, “Let me freshen up.”
“No…” I winced as I stretched my arms out for him like a child, he pinched my cheek and stroked it softly.
“I'll be back, baby.”
I kicked my legs on the bed when he entered the bathroom, I giggled to myself as he blew me a kiss before shutting the bathroom door.

I walked out of the kitchen with a tray carrying the dinner I just prepared. Silas sat at the head of the table, his head down as he pressed his mobile phone.
I reached him and placed his dinner before him. He looked up at me with the sweetest of smiles and mouthed, “Thank you,” I bent and placed a kiss on his lips, before sitting on the chair beside him.
We ate our dinner in silence and once we were done I packed the plates to the kitchen and got back to see Silas getting up to his feet “Are you going out?” I asked him, raising a brow.
“Yes, babe… I want to meet up with my friends and I'll be back a bit late.”
I nodded at him and he gave me a peck on my cheek before heading for the door.
“Do not stay out too late!” I yelled out to him as he crossed the door.
“Yes, my love!” He yelled back to me and I smiled.
I took a towel and began to wipe the stains off the table when my eyes fell on his phone.
“Oh… no, Silas has forgotten his phone,” I dropped the towel and picked up the phone, “Let me go give it to him.”
I reached outside and noticed Silas was standing with some of our pack members outside the building.
“Thank God he hasn't left,” I said, wearing a smile as I approached them.
“Silas, what's your relationship with Serafine?” I overheard one of them ask Silas.
I raised my eyebrows as I slowed down my pace, I was curious about his reply, and I wondered if he would disclose our mate's bond to them.
Silas laughed hysterically, “We share no relationship.”
The other pack members burst out in laughter, “I thought as much… that girl is too lowly for you, man.”
I cupped my opened mouth in shock, and I staggered back but managed to hold myself from falling.
“Exactly my point… my mate would be someone of at least beta rank or higher, not some frail, little girl,” Silas replied.
“My eyes are on the Alpha's daughter, Riele… once she accepts me I'll be the happiest werewolf in the world.”
I froze, my eyes bulged out, and tears formed in them. I felt a pang in my chest, Silas's words felt like a dagger driving through my heart.
“Riele?” I thought, “Riele, who had been a thorn in my flesh since the beginning of time… she had used every opportunity to bully and treat me like trash.”
My hand moved to my chest and I grabbed my dress as pain waves shot through my heart.
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
Serafine's POVI reached the study and saw Isabella race out of the study in tears. She glared at me in anger as she passed me.I looked up and saw Daniel staring into space with his fist balled up.I was about to leave and maybe come another time, but I was frozen to a spot.He was boiling in anger, he turned and was about to kick the table when he yelled at me.“I thought I told you to get out!” He yelled and I flinched.I turned and was about to leave when I heard him call my name softly.“Serafine?” He called.I turned to him slowly, and he walked up to me.“I am so sorry, I never knew you were the one standing there.”I nodded at him, and he held my hand and led me inside the study.He pulled out a chair for me and made me sit on it.“Thanks,” I said as I tried to avoid his gaze.He took his seat and closed his laptop as he pushed the table aside and faced me.I looked up at him and noticed that his anger was gone, and he had a calm look on his face.I looked away again. I couldn
"You are free to choose your path, Abigail. You are stronger than his lies."The voice of Serafine sounded in my head-a small beacon of light tearing through the darkness that had consumed my mind for far too long. I felt the magic of Lucian clutching at my throat, seeking to snuff out the light, but something buried deep within me had started to stir-a truth hidden even from myself.The visions that had wracked my mind finally dissipated, and I saw Lucian's face, twisted in anticipation. He thought he had me, that he'd won, but he had no idea yet.I drew a deep breath and let the tumult of what was happening around us fade to a silent hush. Now or never. "You're right, Lucian," I said, willing my tone to stay even. "I do know what I must do."His face twisted in a triumphing leer. "Then fulfill your destiny," he hissed, reptilian.I met his stare, eyes slitting. "I already have."Before Lucian could even react, I harnessed a surge of magic deep within me and let it explode, shatteri
As we entered deep into the tunnel , the walls seemed to close in on us. Every step that we took resounded against the blackness.With every minute, the air grew heavier as we re-approached the stronghold of Lucian, taut with tension, as every step weighed upon me. I wasn't sure if I was ready to face him; there was just no more time left for doubts. The course of events that would ensue would seal my family's fate. and maybe even my own.As we emerged from the final tunnel, the entrance to Lucian's lair loomed ahead: a dark fortress built into the side of the cavern wall. Shadows seemed to gather around it, twisting and curling like smoke. A shiver crawled down my spine as we approached, but I forced myself to stay calm. We had a plan, even if it was full of risks.We burst through the main entrance, our magic flaring to life as we fought our way inside. The clash of spells and clash of swords was heavy in the air as Lucian's forces swarmed us. I fought beside Damien, my heart r
"We have to go after them!"Still, the last words of Damien were echoing in my ears when I finally found a moment to slip from the crowd. I pounded inside my chest, not just from the fight, but from the turmoil inside me-from Owen's betrayal-but something clanged furiously in my head. The storm at my center tore me asunder.Down a catwalk, I came to a small alcove where the darkness just about ate up any light. The cool stone walls bit into my back as I leaned against them trying to calm my breathing and the thoughts that raced through my mind. Just as I closed my eyes, a voice whispered from behind me in the dark."You look troubled, Abigail."My eyes flew open, and in that instant, my pulse shot up as finally the man stepped out of the shadows. The air seemed to have grown cold with his presence, his eyes shining with both mirth and something darker."What do you want?" I asked, trying not to let my voice show the shaking inside me.He leaned his head, lips curling into a thin s
"Make your choice."The lieutenant's voice continued to ring in my mind, even as I ran wildly through the tunnels, my breathing rough. My heart pounded in my chest, and for one wild moment, the dark temptation of his offer pressed upon me. Betray Serafine and the pack… save myself. It was a coward's choice, a traitor's path. But a small part of me, the part of me that had doubted whether I was strong enough to protect them-whispered that maybe it could be our chance. No, I told myself sharply. I couldn't let my mind go there. I pushed it away and refocused on finding the others. I would never betray my family no matter how bad things got.Rounding a corner, I nearly collided with Damien. Relief danced across his face to see me, yet was speckled with urgency. "Daniel, thank the Moon you're here. We need to regroup—Lucian's forces are closing in fast."I nodded and fell into step beside him as we sprinted down the tunnel. The sounds of far-off fighting got louder with every step.
The earth around me opened with so much fierceness, a low rumbling that seemed to tear the very earth asunder.Before I could even turn, the ground had split, and I was tumbling into chaos. I landed on hard earth, the impact knocking the air from my lungs. It was all chaos, dust, falling rocks, the sound of distant shouting echoing off cavern walls. As I struggled to my feet, the dust began to settle and my eyes adjusted to the dim light filtering down from above.I froze, the image around me blurring as my mind tried to wrap itself around what was happening. We fell into some sort of large underground chamber, ancient and hauntingly beautiful. Strange symbols carved into the stone walls glowed with a silvery tint of light, unlike anything I had ever seen before. It was a relic left behind by some lost, magical civilization, long forgotten by the world above.But it was what was at the center of the room that took my breath away, there was some sort of pedestal, and on top of th
"Mom!"My own voice is returned in the darkness and the storm pounds until I feel the edge of exhaustion. The darkness courses through my body, shaking me to the core, threatening to swallow me whole in its depths. I pulled myself together, trying until I was suddenly aware that the air had shifted. The temperature drops, a coldness running down my spine. I sense him before I see him-Lucian.Lucian emerges from whirling shadows, stepping forward. Something authoritative in his figure, something coldly calm about the manner in which he advances through the chaos erupting in the air around us, draws my gaze irresistibly his way. Gleaming dark eyes fasten on me, a cold dread rising up in my chest. He raises a hand, and in but a gesture, the whirling storm around me begins to settle, as if even magic I struggle to grasp bends to his will."Enough of this, Abigail," he says smoothly, tone laced with a command. "Stop struggling with the man. You waste your breath on one not even worth
"This is my fight now."I can feel the weight of those words as I unleash the magic inside me, channeling everything I have into this strange man who surprisingly was as strong or perhaps stronger than I am. The air crackles and hums, vibrating with energy that seems to move with time to my heartbeat. I watch as his expression changes, his eyes widening in surprise. Then I feel something else, a shift deep inside, a change that isn't altogether my own.I feel some strength gathering within me, and in an instant, it runs hard through my veins. The energy suddenly surges and explodes inside me like a continuing storm ready to tear me apart. With each surge, it becomes so much stronger than the one before and I am fighting hard to keep it inside me. My hands are shaking terribly, and my breathing is reduced. With a sense of anticipation, I realize that I could be losing this battle not to this man in front of me but to myself.Stay back!" I scream, but it sounds more like I'm plea
"Do you feel that? What is this?"The words echo in my mind as I step into the clearing,the chaotic power, like a hurricane, surrounds me. I followed my mother for quite a long time when the air changed, it tugged at me begging me to follow her to this place before it was too late.Now, from behind the scenes, I finally see before me the scene of Serafine standing in front of the mysterious man who had set into action so much pain and manipulation, The air is really crackling with tension, and the dark magic wraps them like a cover."Let her go!" I scream, my voice carrying across the clearing. The weight of my power surges forward inside me, tightening against the reins of my control. I don't think, I act.They both turn to me then, surprised across the man's face. "You!" he exclaims, his composure cracking for a moment. "What are you doing here?"I move forward, my veins coursing with determination and fear. "I felt your presence," I say, locking eyes with him. "I knew you we
"We have to keep running until there's no other choice but to fight."With every step, it beats in my chest, fighting my way through the thick underbrush of the forest, placing distance between myself and chaos at the stronghold. The darkness wraps around me. My mind races with thoughts of all that has brought me to this moment in life. The weight of the world is held on my shoulders and with it, the balance of my family's fate.Before me, I see the bush he told me to meet him at, with every step my pulse quickens. The thought of his wicked grin seems to flash before my mind a chilling reminder of my bargain struck. A deep breath is taken and in it, I steady myself for what is about to be. Strong, though frightened, I must be.Finally reaching the place, it is bathed in moonlight, the tall grass gently swaying with the wind of the night. There he was, waiting to see me with that annoying smirk, arms folded at his chest, as if the world belongs to him. "Serafine," he calls, with
