[Seraphine’s POV]"So... What should I do?" I finally reached that question. Here I sat on the damp ground, finding solace. My legs were screaming in pain, my stomach had been aching for a while. Ever since I found that worship altar, there had been no movement inside me. It felt like my baby had stopped moving. But I didn't even have time to check if my baby was okay. With Cassian's and the world's fate hanging in the balance, I still couldn't decide on anything.[Seraphine, calm down]My strength, which I had always used as a tool, had gradually become my companion. It consistently encouraged me through its words in my mind. To some extent, those words made me stronger.[You just need to remember why Dorian hated Cassian so much][You know he's dead, and you know he wasn't a time magic user. So, you can defeat him][Once you know the reason Dorian killed Cassian, you can go back in time and erase that event][When the incident that made Dorian hate Cassian is gone, his reason to be
[Seraphine’s POV]Sacrificing the magic I possessed, I managed to target the memories that had been my long-standing goal. Without the support of my power, I wouldn't have come this far. My head began to feel heavy, and my vision blurred as my magic depleted from this memory search.Being a wielder of time magic didn't mean having unrestricted control over everything. We, too, faced numerous consequences for using this power. If I wasn't careful, I could die. Just like now, my magic was almost entirely depleted after finding the fragment of Dorian's memory containing Cassian.[Can you endure more than this?]My strength started to worry me. Of course, everything would be in vain if I couldn't maintain my consciousness now. Once I passed out, everything would change.'I'm okay. More than that, help me identify the new memory I just obtained,' I pleaded with my power. To save the remaining magic I had, I used an alternative method to expedite this long journey.I could use my power to f
[Seraphine’s POV]"Am I really Dorian's fated mate?" My voice trembled as I uttered words I never thought I would have to comprehend. If there had been a mirror in front of me, my face would have been as pale as death.I had never considered that such a word would echo in my mind. I, the fated mate of Dorian Phoenix? The ruthless Alpha who had killed so many people? Me? Dorian? Were we destined mates? Could it be that traversing too many lines of space and time had driven me to this madness automatically?It seemed easier to accept the reality that I was losing my mind than to believe in my newfound power that declared me Dorian Phoenix's true mate.‘What makes you so sure that I am Dorian's fated mate?’ I decided to ask, once the confusion and anxiety inside me had subsided.With patience, my power explained that in Dorian's memories I had seen, Cassian clearly mentioned that in the future, I would be married to him. And when we got married, Dorian, who had long disappeared, suddenly
[Seraphine’s POV]A while ago, this vast land had become a field for thousands of explosions that consumed hundreds of innocent alpha warriors. I wasn't the only witness. But I was the only one standing tall while others had fallen.The pungent smell of blood followed the swift wind that slapped my face. The coldness of the sky, almost turning into night, awakened nocturnal birds from their daytime slumber. With only the serene presence of the baby in my womb, I faced alone the vast and silent battlefield.Cassian's body, attracting carnivorous crows, surrendered to the earth after losing his life. I refused to look at him.Besides, I had a premonition that I would witness Cassian's death repeatedly from now on. I grasped the wind, my only source of strength. Armed with the remaining trace of magic, I decided to take a bold step.The journey through time that I was about to undertake would no longer be as narrow as the moment when Cassian had nearly breathed his last. Instead, I chose
[Seraphine’s POV]I allowed Jesse some time to adjust to the situation. Initially, I thought we would arrive early enough, perhaps even before the war had started on this battlefield. But upon our arrival, my predictions were proven wrong.Jesse witnessed a large-scale battle between the Maximilian kingdom's alpha forces and mysterious alpha warriors from another kingdom. I didn't need to explain it further; the world had unfolded before my eyes.This time, Jesse stood beside me, mouth agape, clearly taken aback. In his mind, he must never have anticipated a sudden war of this magnitude, especially seeing Cassian fighting for his life against ten alphas simultaneously.I simply waited for his reaction. "Is this what you were talking about, Miss?" Jesse finally spoke after what felt like an eternity."Is this the war you mentioned earlier? About Dorian Phoenix wanting to kill Prince Cassian and you, by inciting this senseless war?" he asked again.His voice sounded rigid, yet filled wi
[Seraphine’s POV]"You know, pregnancy has diverted much of my magic to my baby. Since then, I've struggled to use my magic because of this child. So..." I intentionally trailed off, waiting to see Jesse's reaction.Knowledge of omegas weakening due to pregnancy was not uncommon. Jesse, who could even discern that I wasn't Cassian's fated mate, surely understood this.Of course, I lied about the magic. My baby did absorb my magic while inside me, but not to the extent of completely depleting it. I said all this so that Jesse would trust me more and give me his magic."Very well," the deep alpha voice beside me finally spoke up.Unlike Cassian, who questioned me extensively before giving his magic, Jesse openly extended his hand to me, ready.I was the one most surprised here. How could I not be? He didn't even ask how much magic I needed.Jesse's loyalty to the Maximilian kingdom and Cassian amazed and terrified me."I might take a bit more magic than usual," I said softly. I glanced
[Seraphine’s POV]"So, your element is Ice, Jesse? I just realized. No wonder you were so helpful when we fought against Riana. Why didn't you tell me earlier that your magic element is ice?" I asked him.Instead of a straightforward answer, I received a hesitant expression. He averted his gaze, wearing a guilty look as if he felt sorry for not disclosing this information earlier. It dawned on me then.Apparently, Alphas couldn't casually reveal the type of magic or element they possessed to others. It could be a vulnerability for them. I quickly retracted my words to prevent any misunderstanding."It's okay, forget it. You don't need to worry about me, Jesse. I'm fine," I said, waving my hand dismissively in front of him.When I realized that the chilling sensation spreading through my body was the effect of Jesse's magic, I hypnotized my own mind to control this cold sensation. What made me happy was the abundance of magic I gained from Jesse. Even a small amount of his magic made m
[Seraphine’s POV]‘My strength, can you hear me?’With the voice of my heart, I called out to my power.Unnoticed, an hour had passed since I left a vast land that bore silent witness to the epic battle between Cassian and an unknown alpha. During that time, I continued to tread the dry, rocky path with my weary feet. The most notable difference was that evening had descended upon me.The area I traversed was far from the kingdom's settlements, essentially deserted. There was no accompanying light except for the moon's reflection high above.Luckily, the path I followed had few obstacles—just a wide road devoid of trees, which eased my solo journey.[Seraphine][You want to find the witch you saw in your vision, don't you?][In that case, you should head towards the old residence of the original Phoenix family][Unfortunately, it's quite far][Without utilizing your power, you'd have to walk for a whole month]The first words my power gave me weren't good news; they seemed intent on c
