Natalie’s POV

I couldn’t sleep that night. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about that phone call. Who was that person? Why did they want to see me? And why now, when everything in my life was already falling apart? I kept hearing that voice over and over again: “See me.”

It made my skin crawl.

Sebastian stayed by my side the whole night. He didn’t say much, but I could feel how tense he was. I wasn’t the only one scared. It was like we were both waiting for something bad to happen.

The next morning, I couldn’t take it anymore. I sat up in bed, looking over at Sebastian, who was awake too. He had dark circles under his eyes, and I knew he hadn’t slept either.

“I have to go,” I said quietly.

Sebastian looked at me, frowning. “Go where?”

“I have to see this person. The one who called me. I need to know who it is.”

Sebastian shook his head. “That’s too dangerous, Natalie. We don’t know who this person is or what they want.”

“I know,” I said, biting my lip. “But I can’t just

    Sebastian’s POVNatalie hadn’t said a word since we left the park. Her eyes were glued to the window, but I knew she wasn’t seeing anything. She was thinking about him. Alfred. The guy who wrecked her and still had the nerve to show up and mess with her head.I hated seeing her like this, trapped in her thoughts. But I didn’t want to push her. Natalie was the type who needed time to process things, to figure out how she felt. But waiting for her to sort through this on her own was killing me.I pulled up in front of her apartment and turned off the engine, letting the silence stretch for a bit. I knew I had to say something before she spiraled deeper into whatever she was thinking, but I wasn’t sure how to start. I gripped the steering wheel, feeling the tension building inside me.Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. “Are you really thinking about what he said?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm, even though I was frustrated.She turned to look at me, her face a mix of confusion

  • Fated to my sister's husband.   Prologue

    “Oh there you are, Sera!,” My mother beamed as I walked into the sitting room dragging my wet umbrella behind me.“Hi mum.” I made to hug her but stopped when I saw that my whole family were gathered in the sitting room - including my boyfriend, Kael.My brow raised in surprise. He never told me he was coming over. Fuck I've been texting him all day but he never responded.Was everything okay?But judging from the grin on my parent's face, everything was perfectly fine.But what's going on?“Come on in dear. Come in. We have got great news.”“Exciting one!” Dad quipped in and I raised my brow as I took off my coat and followed my mother into the sitting room.“What's going on?”Kael was seated beside my sister and he was the only one not smiling.No - instead he's trying as much as possible to avoid my gaze.Which just raised my suspicions because seriously - what was going on?“Okay, so hit me! What's the good news?”“Your sister Thalia here and Kael are engaged! They are to wed next

    I shivered for like the millionth time, as I walked down the streets hurriedly.The shivers had nothing to do with cold - oh no. The sun was shining very brightly.It was something else - something that I couldn't quite place my hand on no matter how hard I tried.But even though I couldn't identify what the problem was, it was still dark enough for me to feel fear, scared.Because something was definitely up.Something bad.I've been having these feelings for the past couple of weeks.At first, I waved it off as my wolf's instincts were running haywire but this is something more than bare instincts.I took the turn that led directly to my house, and a sudden headache stopped me in my tracks.Suddenly, it seems like I have been transported to a whole different realm. The beautiful houses around me slowly disappeared, replaced by nothing but ruins, chaos and dead bodies littered all over the land.And those screams…Dear goddess, those heart wrenching screams that sounded like they wer

    This has better be a joke.I dropped my hand immediately from his arm and turned to take the tray - needing to get away from him, but Kael grabbed my hand, stopping me.“Sera wait - we need to talk about this.”“There's nothing to talk about, Kael.” I murmured calmly, even though I was feeling anything but, “excuse me. I need to get these to the sitting room.”“You can't be serious Sera. Something big just happened and you cannot just walk away like it's nothing.”Oh the nerve of him.“You are the one who is definitely not serious. You rejected me, remember? There's no way the goddess has decided to pair us together again. Besides, even if that's the case,” I grabbed the tray, “it means nothing. We shouldn't even be having this conversation. My sister, your wife died only less than twenty four hours ago. Whatever this is - I suggest you trash it.”I bumped into his shoulder as I walked past him out of the kitchen.Although my whole body was shaking, I still managed to push whatever ju

    “So what are you waiting for?” It wasn't a question. It was meant to be out as a dare but instead it was a whimper of hunger and desire and I knew it.With an animalistic growl, Kael wrapped his fingers around my neck flipping me against the wall in a swift motion before he slammed his lips on mine, in a mind numbing kiss.I was shaking. My hands, legs - entire body were shaking as Kael devoured my lips like a starving beast. His tongue slipped into my lips meeting mine in the most erotic and wet dance.My fingers dug into his head and my hips ached, desperately seeking him closer, yearning and craving for him to get closer.Goddess, I was dying, and mad with need. The need to be fucked, devoured by this man was worse than I had ever needed.Kael bit my lip and I moaned, clinging to him tighter.Dear goddess, this can't be me. I panted as he broke the kiss, and started pressing kisses into my neck as his hands wrapped around my plump Breasts, squeezing and moulding them over my pyjam

    /Fine/I stared at Kael's response which had come in barely ten seconds later, for the millionth time in the past one hour.'fine.’Just one word. No long stories, no questions.Just a quick response of one word.Somehow I felt a little disappointed at how fast he had agreed - and I hated myself for that. Hated myself for daring to care.This is good, this is what's right. I should not be sad that Kael is agreeing to it.Because there's no way I'm gonna allow myself to be entangled with him ever again - not even with the mother goddess' obvious intentions to play games with my life.I exhaled loudly and was about to send another text when a knock came at my door.I rushed to open the door, and nothing prepared me for the warmth and relief that slammed so hard into me at the sight of Kael standing at the door with a lazy smile, looking so hot. So deliciously hot.I shivered.Fucking mate bond!Sure, let's go ahead and blame everything on the innocent mate bond, why don't we?“Hi,” He

    “Sera?” Kael's voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I gasped, turning to see him staring at me, his forehead wrinkled.“Huh?”“Are you still here with me? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?”My eyes darted down to the mark on the book again and I closed it hurriedly clearing my throat and masking whatever was on my face with a neutral expression.“I…I'm fine. The mark just seems strange that's all. I will go through the book later tonight but right now I have something to do.”Kael pursed his lips, “are you kicking me out?”“Is there anything else you'd love to share? If not then yes, we will discuss later about whatever I find out in that book.” I dropped the book on the table as if it was burning my skin and gave him a cold smile, “If you don't mind…”Thankfully Kael didn't argue, but only shrugged before turning and leaving my room.When the door closed behind me, I let out a breath of relief but it didn't calm or soothe my racing heart.I glanced at the old book laying on

    I didn't touch the book nor did I allow myself to think of anything related to it.Not about Thalia, not about my biological parents and certainly not about the visions I've had some times now.I couldn't bring myself to anyways even if I wanted to.No, my mind was occupied with other things. Things that were more important to me at the moment.Like the fact that, tonight's the full moon and another night of horror for me.Once it was 6pm I packed my things and sneaked out of the house to the only place I knew I would be safe for the night - to the only place I knew I could be.༺༺♡♡༻༻The old zoo was locked as usual and thoroughly empty when I got there.The place, as beautiful as it was, has been abandoned for decades now which makes it a perfect place for me every full moon."Hey there stranger." I turned at Madison's voice and smiled when I saw her approaching me with a smile that didn't quite meet her eyes."Hi Maddy," I greeted the old woman, allowing her to wrap me up in a hug

She called me a gold digger. She said I wasn’t good enough for him. It hurt so much. “Natalie, wait!” I heard Sebastian calling behind me. He was running after me, but I didn’t want to stop. I didn’t want to see him. I didn’t want to talk to him. His mom’s words kept ringing in my head, and I just couldn’t take it anymore. I reached the door, but before I could open it, Sebastian caught up. He gently grabbed my arm and pulled me back. “Natalie, stop,” he said, breathing hard. “We need to talk.” I turned to face him and wiped my face. “I can’t do this anymore, Sebastian,” I said, my voice shaking. “Your mom hates me.

    I was shaking in anger as I stormed into my room. My parents had been in the sitting room talking about something but I didn't care to pause or stop to greet them - I was too angry to pay heed to anyone. Once I got to my room, I flung myself to the bed, and shut my eyes tightly as if they would, in any way, take away the anger or the whole reality of the mess surrounding me. It didn't. The anger only built because closing my eyes made me remember the princess slash monster and her words. /You cannot stop them./ So what then is the point of all these? What exactl;y were we doing here? If we cannot stop them, if really nothing can be done, that means I was just wasting my precious time. Might as well just sit, live my life and allow the monsters to kill and kill until they get to me.

    “Seraphina…”The beautiful and delicious way my name rolled off Kael's tongue - the shivers it gave me made me applaud myself for being able to say no in the first place.That had taken all my self will, all the strength I had. It had taken everything to break free from the hold of his eyes, the fire burning through me, wanting to be quenched. The fire that still burned from my heart to the sensitive spot between my legs.“Seraphina….”“No!” I snapped - which was how I intended the word to come out but it just came out as a whimper. I cleared my throat, “No, Kael. We can't…I can't have you do this to me. No! This is not going to happen.”“You can't keep running from this forever Sera,” he said carefully and took a step closer to me, “you can't.”“Well you refused to reject me so running from it forever is what I fully intend to do.” “Mmmhmmm.” He took another step, his eyes boring into mine, “how long do you think you can be able to hide from your own desires, Seraphina?

How are you doing?”I returned her smile, cringing slightly when she gave me an embrace, “I'm fine, thank you. I'm here to see Sera…if she's around.”Her smile dropped slightly, and she exchanged a glance with her husband before turning to me with an odd expression.“I noticed you have been visiting Seraphina a lot these days and…well we are just concerned. Your wife recently died and we know…we know the relationship you had with Sera

    Anyone who ever said there's no place like home surely has never felt what it was like to be in my shoes. Oh sure, there was a time when my cozy home aas my solace but now, it's the place I dread the most. And the fact that I knew what was behind those doors waiting for me didn't help me in anyway. I paused at my door, taking a moment to offer a quick prayer to the goddess, before pushing the door open and walking in. Just as I predicted, Rebecca was sitting in the living room, her legs crossed and eyes flashing when I walked in. On seeing me, she stood up from the chair and walked towards me, her posture tense and off. “Where were you?” I raised a brow, “Excuse me?” “You were gone, for hours. I came to see you and you just left us here alone without any sort of explanation so where were you?” I pinched the bridge of my nose tightly, before turning to Rebecca. “Listen to me carefully, Rebecca let me make something clear to you.” I started, and took two steps closer to her, “
