POV Seraphina The next morning I could hear the other staff members mutter and whisper about what had transpired last night. The whispers only grew louder as every staff member was called in for a meeting with their Alpha. I quietly stood next to Maeve and Drake as we waited for Callan to arrive at the meeting. Everyone in the pack looked up at me with curious and contemplative stares. All of a sudden the room went eerily quiet to the point that only the sound of Callan’s footsteps was all that could be heard. As Callan approached, my heart pounded in my chest as I stood before pack members who were not familiar. And to think this was only a small portion of them. I had yet to see the full magnitude of Callan’s reign. As he walked, Callan was the epitome of cool, calm, and collected with his hands in his black trousers and head held high.Upon entrance of their Alpha, everyone bent to one knee and bowed. The level of respect that these members had or the fear they had of their A
Callan POV Did I need to kiss her? No. Did I use the situation to my advantage? You bet your ass! I needed to satisfy the need to be close to her, so I could shut up my wolf. And boy, was that a mistake! As soon as our lips crashed to one anothers, electricity like i’d never known sparked between us. At first Sera’s body was as stiff as a board, however after just a couple of seconds, she was melting into my arms and molding her body to mine. Just as I allowed myself to sink into the kiss, Sera pushed away. I couldn’t help but love the way her cheeks were tinged pink and how her pouty lips were a bit more swollen than before. ‘Mine.’ Archer roared in my head. I looked back at my staff and pressed out my aura for emphasis. “Does anyone have any questions in regards to the etiquette that is expected with Ms. Steele?” Sera moved back to where Maeve and Drake were standing with an undecipherable expression “No questions, Alpha.” and “No, sir.” echoed in the room before I dismissed e
POV Seraphina “Alpha Allister sent me after we received word where your mother and sister are,” the male guest said. I stood still, holding the tray of tea for the men. Blood whooshed in my ears as I tried to unpack what the man said and what it could mean. And to use the word “Alpha” for Allister made my blood boil. My father was the alpha. HE was the fill-in. I avoided eye contact with Callan so he wouldn’t suspect my inner rage that was scratching my insides to get out. I quickly dismissed myself from the room and stood outside the closed office door to see if I could hear anything further. Before I could hear anything, a forced cough came from behind me. When I turned around, Angelica stood with her arms crossed and her eyes bloodshot from crying. Her eyes turned to those of her wolf before returning to her human eyes. I never knew a werewolf whose eyes turned a cloudy gray color, and for whatever reason, they gave me an uneasy feeling.“Are you happy with yourself?” She bit ou
Callan POV I shifted into my wolf form, allowing Archer to take the lead in finding my any scents that didn’t belong to our pack. I needed his sharp senses if we were going to be successful in our mission. We were walking the border between the Shadow Pack and Night Walker Pack. Behind me, Drake and Rodney had shifted into their wolves and readied themselves for whatever may come our way. I trusted these men with my life and knew they would be perfect for this mission. They were the only two that knew about my true intentions with this mission. Successfully find the missing pack members that were on our borders and be rewarded with a lead for my mom and sister whereabouts. My mind went to the other day after Seraphina had left the room, Elner explained that in order to get the location of my mother and sister, I needed to check out the last whereabouts for wolves that had gone missing. Typical Allister. Making everything about him and his needs. Fucking weasel. We had been away fro
Seraphina POV I spent the first day watching the first season of Wednesday on Netflix. I couldn’t help but laugh at the parallels between Maeve and Enid and Wednesday and I. As a joke I couldn’t help myself but call Maeve, Enid after Maeve came into the room wearing a pink sweater, jeans, and fuzzy pink slippers. Me on the other hand, in stark contrast to my friend, was wearing black leggings, with a evergreen long sleeve shirt that I had borrowed, and my hair in two braids. For some reason when I woke today, a feeling of unease began to crawl through me. I tried to shake it off but a little sliver remained. Surprisingly enough, life at the packhouse seemed to be eerily quiet with their Alpha gone. It had been nice the first day not having to do any stupid tasks or errands for Callan; however today I felt restless and itching to do something. The quiet was finally getting to me. As I was pacing in front of the Callan’s bed, Maeve burst into the room with her arms full and threw do
Callan POV ‘Cal where are you?!’ Drake called through the mind-link. ‘Room…..near fron—t…girl…alive..’ I choked out before my vision when black. The sounds of a woman’s high pitched screams with the snarls of wolves seemed to echo in my ears as a searing hot pain radiated throughout my entire abdomen before it began to work its way to my limbs. I felt Archer try to fight whatever was attacking us, but falling short. I heard the sound of a woman cry out and the sound of breaking bone before a silence took over the room. I growled as I felt the searing pain move up my chest and to my neck. Before I could mind link Drake again, I fell back into oblivion.I wasn’t sure how much time past when I opened my eyes for the first time. But when they did I was laying on the ground with tall pine trees surrounding me. Not even the dawn’s light could penetrate through the canopy made of pine needles. Out of the corner of my eye I saw rodney ripping some fabric into a strip. “We need to stop the
Seraphina POV I woke up looking through the eyes of my wolf with the outside edges cloudy with a murky gray color. It took me a moment to remember why I was laying in my wolf form. Then the memory of the past 24 hours came rushing back. 24 HOURS PRIOR:“Move out of the way!” I heard down the hallway accompanied by the sounds of thunderous footsteps. The sounds of panicked voices in the hall grew louder and closer as I tried to figure out what was going on from Maeve. “There’s been an accident,” She said in a daze before looking into my eyes. “Cal…Callan was hurt—” Before she could finish a dirt-covered and blood-splattered Drake walked into the room cradling an unconscious Callan in his arms. A gasp left my lips as I stood off to the side and watched as Drake placed Callan on the bed before five medical staff ran into the room with medical equipment. I felt like I was in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy as the medical staff worked quickly to attach tubes and wires to the Alpha. I now
SERAPHINA POVMine.’ One word changed everything. I wrapped my arms around myself.“What did you just say?” I croaked out. I felt Alya stir beneath my skin.His eyes turned to that of his wolf. “You are mine.” Callan’s tone sounded more profound and filled with emotion. I knew that it was his wolf talking to me.Nervous, I took a step back towards the bathroom, unsure how his wolf would react to anything when Callan was hurt badly.“I…uh... I am not yours,” I stammered. Staring into Callan’s wolf’s eyes was like looking into a black hole. You could get lost in the abyss with no way out.I could tell that my defiance was making his wolf riled up; however, due to the severity of Callan’s injuries, there was only so much movement that he could do.Callan’s head tilted as if he were trying to analyze something about me. He attempted to move, but only was successful in ripping his IV out of his arm. He let out a curse and winced from the pain before passing out. I ran to the hallway and ca
