The mansion was eerily quiet after the healer had finished tending to Luca’s wound. His side throbbed beneath the bandages, a constant reminder of his lost battle, of the fight that had only ended in failure. Even now, as the pain ebbed and flowed, his mind raced—replayed every moment of the fight with Theo, every glance exchanged between Seraphina and his brother, and the crushing finality in Seraphina’s indifference to him.He sat on the edge of his bed, the cool air of the room surrounding him like an invisible wall. His heart was still heavy, the weight of the evening’s events sinking deeper with each passing second.He could hear Nova’s soft footsteps approaching. She always moved with a quiet grace, but tonight, there was something in her presence that made Luca uneasy—something both comforting and unsettling. She had always been there, a shadow in his life, loyal and dependable—until now.Luca didn’t turn when she entered. Instead, he kept his gaze focused on the moonlight that
Seraphina entered Theo's quarters and she saw him changing his clothes, she saw the clothes which were on the floor filled with blood. “How did this happen?” She said silently but Theo didnt listen, as she gently picked up the dress with a tip of her finger, she smelled it and she noticed that it wasn't just ordinary blood, it was the blood of a wolf. The scent of the blood hung in the air, sharp and metallic. Seraphina’s eyes narrowed as she stepped closer, dropping the cloth she had been using to clean up the remnants of Theo’s injury. His wound was still fresh, though the bleeding had stopped, and her mind raced with too many questions. How did Theo, a seasoned fighter, get injured by a wolf? It didn’t make sense.Her heart pounded as she met his gaze, trying to unravel the layers of lies she knew he was wrapping around himself.“How did you get injured by a wolf?” Seraphina’s voice was steady, but beneath the calm, there was a simmering anger.Theo, lying through his teeth, glanc
The tension in the room was suffocating. The door closed behind him with a quiet click, and Seraphina didn’t need to look to know it was Theo standing there. His presence filled the space like a storm, electric and overwhelming. Her body was taut with anger, muscles coiled tight under the surface, and her thoughts churned like a maelstrom. She had been locked in this room for too long, the walls closing in on her, her instincts screaming for release.Her eyes flicked toward him, and the moment their gazes met, she felt the shift. It was subtle at first — a tightening in her chest, a sharp pull at her throat. She could feel the hunger rising within her.The thirst.Her blood was boiling, her senses heightened to an unbearable degree. She could feel every shift in the air, the rapid beat of Theo’s heart, the slight increase in his breath as he moved toward her. And then, without warning, his hand shot out, grabbing her by the wrist, yanking her toward him with surprising force.The mome
The thick scent of pine and earth filled the air as Seraphina entered the grand hall, flanked by Theo. She could feel the eyes on her the moment she stepped inside — cold, assessing, and full of anticipation. The hall was dimly lit, candles casting shadows that stretched across the stone walls. The meeting was about to begin, a pivotal moment for the entire pack. This was no ordinary gathering.Today, they would decide who would rule the pack. The tension in the air was palpable, and Seraphina could sense the brewing storm of conflict.Theo, walking beside her, exuded the confidence of someone who thought the crown was his for the taking. His posture was tall, his expression regal. He didn’t bother to hide the smirk playing at the corner of his lips. She knew him well enough by now to recognize the flicker of arrogance in his eyes. His supporters, scattered throughout the room, waited for the inevitable: Theo would be crowned the new Alpha.But Seraphina didn’t feel that certainty wit
The murmur of voices filled the hall like the sound of a distant storm. The pack was divided, but the decision had been made. Luca was the new Alpha. The room was thick with uncertainty, with shifting allegiances, and with the silent weight of the future.Seraphina stood in the midst of it all, her heart still racing. She could feel the eyes of the pack on her, the weight of their expectations pressing against her chest like a vice. Luca had chosen no one. And that decision sent ripples of confusion through the room, some with relief, some with fear. It was a strange, daring move—one that seemed to both defy tradition and challenge everything they had known.The words hung in the air like a sword, sharp and unforgiving. I choose no one.Luca had spoken those words with such quiet authority that they had resonated through the stone walls. The hall had gone still, the tension palpable. No one dared to break the silence that followed, save for the murmurs of the wolves trying to process
After the assembly, everyone left, except Luca, Nova and Seraphina. She stood there confused and began to wonder why Luca was staring at her like that.“What is wrong with me?” She asked herself It felt like a thunderous strike on her head, she held her head very tight like she wanted to remember someone but then Theo held her.“Let's leave” Theo said Seraphina gazed at Theo for a while and then glared back at Luca who was still standing there with Nova.She nodded “Ofcourse” she said and turned her back against Luca. stood at the edge of the room, watching everything unfold. Her eyes flickered from Theo to Seraphina to Luca, silently taking in the turmoil that was quickly boiling over. She tapped Luca’s shoulder lightly, snapping him out of his trance.“Let’s leave,” she said softly, her voice tinged with concern. “They’ve all gone.”Luca’s eyes lingered on Seraphina, on her retreating figure, as she and Theo made their way to their quarters. His heart tugged, a dull ache growing i
Seraphina stood motionless by the window, her breath barely audible as she watched Luca in the distance, the soft, melancholic notes of the flute filling the night air. The sight of him, sitting there in the clearing with the instrument pressed to his lips, stirred something within her, a vague sensation of something long buried, something deeply familiar, but lost just beyond her grasp. Her heart ached, a sharp pang of longing that she couldn’t explain.The moonlight bathed him in a soft, ethereal glow, casting long shadows over the grass as he played. The sound of the flute drifted in gentle waves, the melody both haunting and beautiful. It seemed to carry with it an essence of sorrow, as if the music itself were mourning something—a lost love, a forgotten past, or perhaps an unspoken truth that neither of them had the courage to face.Seraphina’s fingers tightened on the windowsill as she leaned closer, her breath fogging up the glass. There was something about the way Luca played
Nova nodded, the satisfaction in her smile unmistakable. “Of course. It’s none of your business, so you better behave in this pack, I don't want you after Luca anymore, I love your new self, this isnt bring you down if you keep to it” she said, her voice almost too sweet. She turned on her heel and made her way to the door, the click of her heels against the floor echoing softly as she left.“I will remember your threats and act wisely Nova” I said with a warm smile.Nova nodded with a sly smile “Luca would be mine now and you belong to Theron, he would make me his mate and I will make sure to banish you out of this pack once I become the queen”Seraphina remained still, her eyes trained on the now-empty space where Nova had stood. She waited a beat before walking slowly toward the window once more. She didn’t have to look outside to know Luca was still there, his figure framed by the forest, the melody of his flute still haunting the air.She moved to the window and placed her hand g
The whispers began to die down as Luca stepped forward, his voice booming through the hall.“I choose Nova…” he said, the words hanging in the air.The crowd’s murmurs grew louder, their voices swelling with approval. The pack had been waiting for this moment. It was what they expected. Nova had been loyal, strong, and supportive. She had stood by Luca through thick and thin, and the choice seemed like a foregone conclusion.“I said it,” one of the pack members muttered under his breath, voice barely louder than a whisper. “Nova will be Luna.”But Luca wasn’t finished.The room fell completely silent as he raised his hand, signaling for the crowd to listen closely.“I choose Nova as my Beta,” Luca continued, his voice steady, but his gaze now flicking toward Seraphina. “But, I choose Seraphina as my Luna.”A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The sudden shift in his words sent shockwaves through the room. The tension that had been building for weeks reached its peak, and for a
Luca didn’t answer immediately. He didn’t need to. His silence was the answer, and Seraphina could see the truth of it in his eyes.She set the contract down on the table before her, folding her arms across her chest. There was something more she needed to say. Something he needed to know.“I accept,” she said, her words cutting through the tense silence between them.Luca blinked in surprise. “You… you accept? You accept to be the Luna of this pack”“Yes,” Seraphina said firmly. “But on one condition.”Luca’s brow furrowed, and he took a step forward. “What condition?”“I want to take revenge,” she said, her voice low, almost menacing. “Someone killed my sister back at my former pack. I’ve been hunting for the ones responsible ever since, and I need your help to get it done,I want to take revenge on the killer and I also want to take revenge on Kael too for the pain he had caused me and for how he humiliated me.”Luca regarded her for a long moment, his face unreadable. Then, without
The day when Luca would choose his mate had arrived, he had offered Seraphina a contract and she accepted, and the reason she accepted wasn't because she loved Luca, it was because she wanted to take revenge on those who killed her sister, turned out that Cora wasn't her real sister but they loved each other since they were both orphans.The grand hall nuzzled with anticipation. The scent of fresh meat roasting on the fire, the sound of laughter and chatter filling the air, it was the kind of celebration the pack needed after weeks of tense silence from Luca. The air was thick with excitement as the members of the osck gathered, dressed in their finest attire, ready to toast to whatever Luca was about to announce.There were whispers, ofcourse. Whispers about the throne, whispers about Seraphina. For months, speculation had run rampant about who Luca would choose as his mate, the Luna who would rule by his side. Some believed it would be Nova, Luca's right hand, the beta who had stood
The weight of the conversation with Seraphina lingered in the air, thick and suffocating. Luca stood alone in the center of his room, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, his heart racing with a mixture of fear and uncertainty. Every moment felt like it was leading him toward something he couldn't control anymore, a precise of where the future of everything he cared about is going to an edge if he makes any little mistake.But there was no time to dwell on that. The war for the throne has already begun, and Luca knew it, his brother, Leo, had been biding his time, waiting for the right moment to strike. The moment he did, Luca's world, everything he had fought for would shatter.The sound of a knock at the door snapped Luca's from his own thoughts. He straightened, wiping a hand across his face in frustration. He didn't need this. He didn't need to face anyone else, not now, not when his mind was clouded. But he knew, deep down, that he couldn't run from the Truth. Not anymore.
The door creaked softly behind Luca as he stepped away from the tense scene in the room. His mind was a whirlpool of confusion, swirling with Martha’s warning and Seraphina’s chilling words. His thoughts clashed against each other like storms. A child born from destruction, and yet somehow, the world’s only hope? How could he reconcile the two? How could he accept that the woman he had come to love, the one who had given him hope and joy, was destined to tear everything apart?The weight of it all felt suffocating, like an iron shackle clamping down on his chest. He needed air. He needed space. He needed to think.As he walked briskly down the hall, each step felt heavier than the last, his heartbeat thudding in his ears. He passed through the silent corridors, the quiet of the mansion almost mocking him. Every corner he turned, every shadow he passed, seemed to whisper the same question: What now?His quarters loomed ahead, a refuge he had once found peace in, now tainted with the sh
As they saw Seraphina they stopped talking. Seraphina walked there and Martha held her and she checked her pause, Martha could see if any danger was coming in the nearest future.She saw it and she stepped back, Luca asked her what was wrong she lied that she wasn’t feeling well that Luca should escort her to the room. And she also gave orders that Theo mustn’t know she is now back.When they entered the room Martha grabbed Luca’a hand and warned him that Seraphina would cause disaster to the whole world, she would be fueled by rage and destroy the whole world. The room fell into an unnatural silence, the weight of Martha’s words sinking into the air like an unbearable fog. Luca stood frozen, his hand still in Martha’s grip, his mind reeling. The tension was thick, pressing against his chest with the force of a hundred storms.Seraphina, the one who had haunted his thoughts for so long, had just stepped into the room, and Martha’s warning echoed in his ears. The quiet, unsettling powe
Just as Luca was done and Seraphina became only even though she didn't remember a thing that happened at that spot. She was just silent.“And who are you?” Luca asked Why does she smell like some kind of spell?“I am just a member of the pack who seems to care nothing else, I need to leave” Martha said Luca paused and he touched her then he knew it was a spell, Martha's real face appeared immediately.The air was still in the room, thick with the weight of revelation as Martha tried to pull away from Luca’s touch. His fingers burned with recognition, and when his eyes widened, she knew he’d seen through the illusion. His voice cracked the silence.“My sister!” Luca’s breath hitched in disbelief.Martha’s real face, once concealed by the magic of a spell, was now fully revealed. Her features were sharper than Luca remembered, her eyes colder, like distant stars in the night sky.She didn’t respond to his outburst, only turned her gaze toward the window as if searching for something b
The moonlight bathed the garden in a silver glow, casting eerie shadows over the silent figures standing in a tense standoff. The air was thick with hostility, crackling with unspoken challenges, as Nova’s dark eyes locked onto the mysterious woman who had emerged from the shadows. She was no ordinary wolf, Luca could sense that—her power rippled through the air like an electric current, and her presence was as commanding as any alpha's. She was not someone to be underestimated.“Who are you?” Nova’s voice was silky, but the sharp edge beneath her words was unmistakable. Her gaze slid over the woman, sizing her up with predatory precision. “You seem to think you can stop me.”The woman stood unmoving, her posture regal and unwavering, as though she were the very earth beneath their feet, unshakable. Her eyes, too, were like molten silver, glowing faintly in the moonlight, an unnatural intensity hidden within them.“I don’t think,” the woman replied calmly, her voice low but strong. “I
–“What is wrong with Seraphina?” Luca murmured to himself as he watched as Seraphina struggled alone at the garden, he was up at his window glaring at everywhere until he laid eyes on Seraphina and he noticed Seraphina was strange.He walked downstairs and tapped her “Hey….” He whispered to her ears and Seraphina paused, she then collapsed.“Hey, Seraphina, you are burning up” Luca said, while Nova watched from afar, she didn't know Luca would be the one to see her, she clenched her fist on the wall and the smell she drank fell, she didn't notice, she was too angry to make sure to clean her mess properly to avoid been caught.Unbeknownst to Nova, someone from the pack was watching, she was a female wolf, powerful wolf and not known in the pack, she is known for her ruthless acts and she only goes to war for the pack and doesn't interfere, she loves standing on top of the tree just as much as Luca loves doing that too. Just when Nova left the scene where she committed such a thing, th
