Seraphina's POV
The next morning Alister had already left. It wasn't rare that I woke up to an empty bed. But every single time I expected it to be different. I showered and got ready for the day ahead of me. After meeting with my father, discussing the potential threats with the neighboring pack. I decided to take a walk in the gardens. Strangely enough, Lyla was there sitting under a tree drinking what looked like a lemonade as she had several males sitting next to her and laughing at whatever she had said.
I'm not sure why but I envied her. Maybe it was because my husband looked at her with lust in his eyes. I turned around and walked away. Calm down Seraphina, maybe I saw wrong. Maybe she's just beautiful and my husband just looked at her. Either way, I wanted to escape her. I went upstairs to the study. Alister had fallen asleep on the table, soft snores came from him as he slept soundly. I cracked a small smile as I watched him. It's rare seeing him like this. He usually slept after me and was gone before I woke up. "Hey sleepy head," I greeted as I stroked his hair. He made a sound in his sleep and leaned into my touch. I froze as he did this. A blush creeping up onto my face. "You have to wake up now," I whispered. Alister looked up to me and for a brief second I swore his eyes softened before he quickly cleared his throat and stood up. He looked at his watch briefly. "I have a meeting with your father. Excuse me." He brushed past me and out of the study before I could say a word. I stood there with a loss for words.“Thanks Seraphina for waking me up.” I spoke to myself mimicking Alister’s voice. “Oh don’t mention it darling.” I responded to myself in a higher pitched tone mocking a conversation between us. Alister forgot his phone on the desk and as I was about to return it, three hearts popped up on the screen. The number was not saved so I couldn't tell who it was from. Who would be sending him hearts? I knew all his family members and friends numbers were saved in his phone. Could it be Lyla? Something in the way he looked at her made me think that it could be a possibility, especially after the way he dismissed our conversation about her yesterday. No! I didn't want to think like that. Alister wouldn't do that. He was married to me. I placed his phone down and left the room.I spent the rent of the day fighting with myself about whether or not I should ask Alister about the text message I had seen. I hadn't been able to find Alister all day and when I finally caught up to him in the evening he seemed annoyed.“How was your meeting with my father?” I asked him as I fiddled with a few strands of my black hair.“Fine,” Alister grunted.I pursed my lips as I attempted not to berate him with questions. “Were you able to come up with a battle plan in case we are attacked?” I questioned. Alister paused buttoning his dress shirt.“What’s up with the twenty questions, Seraphina? Do you need something?” His tone was cold and unwelcoming. I sat on the edge of the bed and gulped. “I just wanted to hear about your day,” I said in a small voice.He took a step closer to me. “Battle plans aren’t your concern. We have everything under control.”He buttoned the top button of his shirt before rolling up his sleeves. The veins on his forearms bulged, making me drool internally. I wanted those strong arms wrapped around my body.I stood up and looked up into Alister’s eyes. He pressed a kiss to my cheek before walking to the door. “I’ll see you later tonight.” He was halfway out the door and gave me a rare smile. “You have girl’s night with Chrissy tonight, right?”I smiled at him remembering my plans. “Yes I do.”“I’ll see you tonight then. Have fun.” After Alister left the room, I decided this was my chance to win him over. I was ready. I felt a passion burning inside of me, one that I couldn't contain. I wanted him. I put several outfit options, some makeup, and my curling wand in a bag before texting Chrissy to let her know I needed her help getting ready.When I got to Chrissy’s cabin, I was pleasantly surprised to see that she had made brownies and poured some wine for us.After spending a couple of hours curling my straight, stubborn hair, and a smokey-eye look, Chrissy looked at me with a broad smile. “And I give you…” a pregnant pause passed. “A princess!” I looked at myself in the mirror, I was satisfied with what I saw. This should make Alister want me, right?“Girl, you look smoking hot!” Chrissy praised me while squeezing my shoulders.I looked at myself in the mirror in awe. My black hair cascaded down into soft curls that went past my shoulders. I wore a violet silk floor-length dress that hugged my curves perfectly. The dramatic eye makeup made my indigo eyes look brighter. Underneath the gown was a matching black lace bra and underwear set. For the first time in a long time, I felt beautiful.I gathered all of my belongings together and, with a pep in my step, walked back to the packhouse. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach as I approached the large sandstone building. Thankfully we had an entire wing of the home to ourselves to give us the much-needed privacy a married couple needed or was supposed to need.As I approached my door, a thumping sound accompanied by the soft moans of a female was emanating from my bedroom! I felt my wolf Alya instantly tense and raise her hackles. I felt my eyes dilate to that of my wolf so if there were a threat she could respond accurately.My hand shook as I grabbed the vintage gold knob. Slowly I opened the door and gasped at the sight before me. It took a few moments for me to register what was going on. An overwhelming wave of bitter betrayal hit me in the face.“What the actual fuck is going on here?” I yelled.Seraphina's POVOn my bed, Alister’s head lay nestled between Lyla’s naked thighs as Lyla clung to the top of the headboard to hold herself in one place. Her breasts bounced from the ferocity that Alister was licking her pussy. They were on our bed. Alister was with another woman on our FUCKING BED! "A-Alister!" I yelled as I bit back the tears that began forming. Alister jolted off Lyla in Supernatural speed towards me as Lyla shrieked and attempted to cover her naked breasts with a pillow. As Alister whipped around, his face was as pale as he had seen a ghost. He placed his hands out as if he were attempting to tame a wild animal. A low growl escaped me as he invaded my personal space. His erection was clear in the tight black slacks he was wearing. "Seraphina, you’re home early," Alister’s face was filled with conflicting emotions. "You tell me! Is this what your business is? Is this why you had to leave? Is this the errand you had to run?" I yelled as tears streamed down my f
Allister’s POVI let out a growl of frustration as Seraphina slammed the door to our ensuite bathroom. I threw the blankets onto the bed and ran a hand through my tousled blonde hair. I couldn’t understand why she was so mad at me. Was fooling around with Lyla in Seraphina and my bed a good idea? no , not at all. I had made a neanderthal move with Lyla. I never anticipated that I would get caught. It had just been so long since I was inside warm heat. By the non existent intimacy that Seraphina and I shared, she couldn’t expect me not to look elsewhere. I was only a red blooded male. I had needs. I let out a scoff as stripped the bed and id what Seraphina had asked. I knew I messed up, but a divorce seemed extreme. I hadn’t even fucked Lyla, I was interupted before that could have even happened. ‘Do you want her?’ My wolf Kyson asked. ‘Well of course I do. She’s the Alpha’s daughter and when we did have sex she was a good lay. She’s the key to my success.’My wolf huffed. “But do y
Seraphina POVAlarms blared throughout the office and the surrounding buildings. I shifted into my black as the night-colored wolf and let Alya take control. ‘Where are you?!” My father’s booming voice came into my head. ‘Leaving Julien’s office now, need to get women and children into the chambers.’ The chambers were a cluster of underground tunnels that led to panic rooms in the event of an attack. Something terrible had to have happened if we hadn’t gotten a warning before we were already under attack. ‘Make sure you stay with them!’ My father ordered. ‘You know I won’t do that Dad.’I blocked out his response as a mangy wolf started to run toward a mother and her two young children. I jumped and shifted into my black wolf form. The tearing of fabric echoed in my ears as all my limbs shifted into fur-covered legs. I wrapped my mouth around the opposing wolf's neck to reach it before it could reach its target. The crack of bone was the telltale sign that I had successfully elimi
Seraphina's POVA tall broad-shouldered man with shoulder-length brown hair and piercing blue eyes. I would recognize those cerulean blue eyes anywhere. Alpha Callan Forte of the Night Walker Pack stood over a pile of dead rogues, and next to him was Alpha Constantine of the Nordic Pack. Alpha Constantine’s signature short curly hair and fair skin covered in freckles would make him recognizable anywhere. Both men were ungodly ripped with muscles and chiseled abdominal muscles. The rogues that had been about to attack me retreated into the wooded canopy behide the Alphas.“Well, look what we have here,” Constantine teased. Are you lost, little wolf?” He continued. I hated being called that. I knew my wolf was a little smaller than theirs, but due to my alpha genes, I was still larger than the other wolves in the pack. They seemed buddy-buddy for two people who should be enemies. Alpha Callan was known for her dictatorial and authoritarian leadership style. Over the years he had taken
Allister's POVI heard angered voices outside the hospital room where Alpha Samuel lay on the sterile white sheets of a hospital bed. He looked at me with a concerned expression. Samuel had seen much better days in his sixty-three years. His usual warm, tan complexion was ashen and gray. The doctors were still waiting on some tests to come back to hopefully have more of an understanding as to why he wasn’t healing. “You can’t go back there!” I heard one of the warriors say. “I have something that your Alpha will want.” The sound of a familiar voice said in return. The statement piqued my interest. The sounds of small grunts echoed in the hospital hallway. When I walked out of the room, I saw Seraphina with a thin hospital gown on and held in each arm by two burly men. I gulped when I saw the angered expression on Alpha Constantine’s face. He was not someone you wanted to piss off and for some reason he was. Seraphina let out a cry when one of the men restraining her jerked her arm
Callan's POVBEFORE THE ATTACK ON THE SHADOW PACKWhen I met with Alpha Constantine, one of my allies, I was not expecting to see a weasel speaking to him. I didn’t need to know what the man was saying to be able to tell he was scum. “I have someone inside the operation. Someone no one would expect.” The weasel said. I cleared my throat to announce my arrival. Alpha Constantine reminded me of a werewolf lumberjack with his broad frame, red beard, and short strawberry-blonde hair. A big smile crossed his face when he saw me enter the room before engulfing me in a brotherly hug. “Callan! You are early,” Constantine remarked as he slapped my back. He moved me to arm's length. “But just in time,” I looked at him with a curious expression. I had a feeling whatever he was going to say would have to do with the weasel in the room. “Please, gentlemen, let us have a seat. Allister, this is Alpha Callan. Callan, this is Allister, the Beta of the Shadow Pack.” I begrudgingly shook the man’s cl
Seraphina's POV-Present The slap echoed in the room. Allister looked at me with rage prominent in his eyes. “How dare you slap me, you dumb bitch!” Allister’s face began to morph into one of his wolf. His eyes began to glow a deep red while his canines elongated. My anger immediately turns to fear as I see Allister’s claw-sharpened hand rear back. Awaiting the blow, I squeezed my eyes closed. A grunt and the sound of a scuffle sounded in the quiet room. When the blow didn’t hit, I opened my eyes to find Alpha Callan pinning Allister to the floor while Lyla cowered in the corner of the room. Callan shoved Allister away. “You do NOT lay one fucking finger on her!” He bellowed, making goosebumps appear on my skin. Why was he still here? Yes, the Alphas were meeting tomorrow after my father had some rest, but why was he HERE in the packhouse?I backed away from the men until my backside met the hutch that stood on the far wall. Callan looked at me, his eyes still wild and of his wolf.
Callan's POVI knocked on the door twice before waiting for permission to enter. I felt Archer stir beneath my skin to remind me he would be ready for anything that may threaten us. It was quite ballsy of me to come here without any back up. Even Constantine wasn’t aware of my visit. After receiving permission, I slowly opened the door and was surprised to find Seraphina with her father. ‘Of course she’s here, you dumb ass. Her father was severly injured,’ Archer reminded me. I internally rolled my eyes at my wolf. ‘Thanks for the obvious.’ “Alpha Callan, to what do I owe for this surprising visit?” Seraphina stood next to her father’s bed, looking at me with fear. I didn’t blame her. I was with Constantine yesterday when he attacked. His usual tan skin was ashen. Deep claw marks bled through the bandage on his arm. Why wasn’t he healing? This was very unsual for an Alpha. We tended to heal faster than the average werewolf. Why did I have a feeling that the weasel had something t
