[Seraphine's POV]"Who ... What is your name?" I finally asked the figure of Alpha, who stood silently in front of me.As the light illuminated the room, we could finally look into each other's eyes. I was certain now, the Alpha standing before me was the one who spread the deadly virus in Silverbrook Haven village.However, his face was so damaged. With the bright lighting, I could see how he had lost the skin on his face. It looked as if he had undergone surgery that peeled off his entire face.‘But why am I so sure that he is the Alpha who has been appearing in my visions? Is it because we share the same power?’ I wondered to myself."So, you're the Alpha who has been targeting me?" I said to him. "Have you been luring me to this village so you could kidnap me?"He remained silent. With his eyes as dark as the night, he looked at me with a piercing gaze. His face was as cold as his dark, cold hair."Let me tell you one thing, dear Alpha. Don't involve Cassian in this. This is betwe
[Seraphine's POV]"Alright." I decided to comply with his words after thinking for a long time. If I could guess correctly, this mysterious Alpha was not the type to keep a cool head.He was not like Cassian; he would not hesitate to hurt me if my words crossed his patience. I had to be careful from now on."So, what kind of opponent are you talking about?" I asked. I lowered my position slightly to make him loosen his guard. All for the sake of making sure he knew I wasn't in a rebellious mode here."You have fighting power, don't you? Use it to fight against me. Right here, right now. But remember one thing, I won't forgive your actions if you dare to look into my mind."This was the second time he warned me about not using mind-reading abilities. It seemed like he intentionally stressed me out by tapping his foot on the floor, creating a loud noise.And the sound of that tapping made me even more aware that this room was silent, with only the two of us remaining. I was helpless bec
[Seraphine's POV]*Boom! Boom! Boom!*I no longer cared about my condition or the baby. I unleashed a series of attacks, causing the ground and the surrounding trees to be destroyed by my power.That Alpha, surprisingly, was able to fly in the sky. He wasn't a user of space and time manipulation like me, who could control the dimensions of the world. I also noticed that he was a user of lightning elements.He shouldn't be able to fly in the sky so effortlessly. Because of that, none of my attacks ever hit their mark.I was just wasting my energy here."What's the matter, Seraphine? Tired already? Where did your fighting spirit go?" He descended and floated right in front of me. Seeing me visibly exhausted, I witnessed how he grinned smugly with an infuriating laugh."You ... Where did you get all that power? No matter how powerful an Alpha is, they shouldn't be able to use multiple elements simultaneously," I said to him as he continued to gaze at my condition."Hm. Are you curious?"
[Seraphine's POV]I continued listening to him explain a negotiation that I didn't understand. Wasn't he the one who initially wanted both of us to fight until one of us fell as the winner?‘Why is he now being unstable and offering negotiations?’ I wondered with confusion. I still felt uncomfortable with the flap of his wings, which could easily bring down trees in the forest."What else do you want to negotiate?" I asked, feeling partly tired. I rubbed my eyes, which had felt heavy and sleepy for who knows how long."Come with me and leave Cassian," he said.My hands, which were busy giving my sleepy eyes a chance to open, suddenly stopped. I lifted my face to face him, soaring in the air like a bird set free.And I threw back at him with furrowed brows. "What did you say? Go with you? Do you think I'm crazy?""No," he answered with a serious expression. "I mean what I say. Just because you live with Cassian doesn't mean you'll be happy. You know that. So why don't you come with me?
[Seraphine's POV]"She's not alone."I immediately turned my head at the unexpected arrival of a voice.Both of my iridescent blue eyes sparkled, welcoming the presence of a figure I never expected to see. Cassian. Somehow, he was already standing next to me."Seraphine, maybe I can't fight you alone. But she's not alone now. I will help her until we can tear your body apart," he said.Not just me, even the mysterious Alpha was shocked by Cassian's arrival. His face turned deep red, and he growled with clenched teeth in anger. From a distance, I could see his eyes glaring sharply like fire in the darkness."You. How did you break through my defense barrier?" That Alpha asked. His voice became hoarse, and the wind around us suddenly roared in response to his anger.Cassian kept his gaze fixed on That Alpha, who flew above us. I was standing beside him, enjoying the breeze from the giant wings that brushed against Cassian's golden hair.It was gentle and so beautiful. The cold red gaze
[Seraphine's POV][But, my power has its limitations.]‘What is it?’ Cassian continued to try to answer and listen to me, even though his entire body was focused on the attacks and defenses in the fight up there.[This method will drain a lot of my energy][I might faint][But I will leave a little of my strength so I can still hypnotize him when we succeed][So, I can only stop time for a short while, Cassian][The rest is up to you]I explained the worst-case scenario to Cassian. All of this was the result of my long thinking, analyzing our remaining strength, time, and how long the Alpha could withstand our attacks.My only hope ... I wanted this attack to succeed. I didn't want to faint and endanger my baby again.As long as he was in my womb, I had brought him to the brink of death multiple times.‘Alright. Leave everything to me, Seraphine. I will ensure that he faints from my attacks.’After Cassian answered, we returned to our respective positions.*Clang! Clang!**Boom! Boom!
[Seraphine's POV]Initially, I didn't understand why Cassian insisted on bringing me all the way here. Considering the distance between the battle location and where I was, it was kilometers away.With such a long distance, I had doubts about the success of our plan. I had never before attempted to control my powers from such a far distance.And then, I realized why Cassian had chosen such a distant place for me because...*BOOM!!!!!!**BOOM!!!!!!**BOOM!!!!!!*The explosion he generated from his power was incredibly massive.*gulp*Even from this distance, I could still see how towering the explosion was, almost reaching the sky.*BOOM!*The explosion Cassian created was so enormous that it destroyed several mountains nearby. I didn't know what was happening there, but with that kind of power, even the protective barrier of the mysterious Alpha would not be able to withstand it.‘Is Cassian alright? Should I try telepathy again? But what if I faint? I don't want our efforts to go to
[Seraphine's POV]Cassian started to try to wake me up by continuing to speak and shaking my body.As for myself ... I wasn't oblivious to what Cassian was doing beside me. However, I couldn't give up so easily.We had just risked our lives to defeat this mysterious Alpha. Would all our efforts go to waste because of a trap?‘No, I can endure this heat for longer. If it's just a manipulation of someone's power, I shouldn't have any physical injuries.’ I tried to strengthen myself in this difficult situation."I ... I saw a letter." My mouth started to babble on its own as I managed to uncover at least a bit of the mysterious Alpha's memories."Cassian ... Does any member of your family have black hair?""What?" Cassian replied with surprise. "Of course, there are. For example, one of Dominnick's children—""No," I immediately interrupted him. "I mean, the main family. From the main bloodline that is also one of the candidates for the future king.""The future king ..." I could feel Ca
