last update Last Updated: 2025-01-31 23:17:08

The biting wind whistled through the trees, swirling around Seraphina’s body as she stood in the middle of the training grounds, her eyes closed, her breath shallow but steady. The early morning light stretched across the horizon, painting everything in soft oranges and purples, but the peace of the dawn couldn’t quite reach the storm brewing within her. It was all she could do to keep her breathing under control, to force her mind to focus despite the dissonance—the poison, the lingering weakness, the fear of what she had lost.

Luca’s voice, calm and patient, cut through the chaos in her mind. "Focus, Seraphina. Let go of everything that holds you back. Trust your body, trust yourself."

She wanted to, more than anything. But the anger, the doubt, the frustration—they gripped her, tightening like a vice around her chest. She could feel the pulse of power somewhere deep within her, a faint echo of what once had been. But it was buried, hidden beneath layers of poison and fear.

    THE TRUTHSeraphina stood frozen in place, her heart hammering against her ribs. She could feel the weight of Martha’s words press down on her like an invisible force, suffocating her. The tension in the air crackled, palpable and heavy. Luca’s silence only made it worse, each second stretching like an eternity.“Tell me, then,” Seraphina demanded, her voice tight but steady. “What’s the truth? What are you both hiding?, I need to know”Luca’s eyes flickered to her, a flash of guilt—something raw and unguarded—crossing his features before he quickly masked it. He took a step toward her, his expression hardening as he spoke, his voice low and commanding. “You’re not ready to hear this, Seraphina. You’re already struggling. This will only make things worse and it's going to distract you so much.”But Seraphina was past the point of being shielded. She wasn’t a child anymore. She couldn’t keep running from the truth.“I still need to know,” she said, each word biting with urgency.Martha

    Seraphina moved through the mansion with a sense of purpose, the oppressive weight of the truth that Martha had revealed to her still lingering, a cold shadow that clung to her every step. She hadn’t fully processed everything, not yet—how could she? The prophecy, her bloodline’s curse, the terrifying power that lay dormant within her—it was too much, too fast. The air felt thick with uncertainty, and she could barely hold onto the threads of her own sanity as she walked, her mind racing in a thousand directions at once.She needed space. A moment of silence.

    The full moon hung high in the ink-black sky, casting an eerie glow over the gathering crowd. The air in Crescent Falls was electric, buzzing with anticipation. Tonight was the Alpha’s annual gathering a celebration of pack unity, power, and tradition. But for Seraphina Gray, tonight was more than that. It was the night everything was supposed to change.Her heart pounded as she stood in the centre of the Silver Moon Pack’s grand courtyard, her breath visible in the crisp air. She adjusted her dress a flowing silver gown that hugged her curves and tried to steady her nerves. The murmurs of the pack surrounded her like a tide, threatening to pull her under. They all knew why she was here, why she was glowing with nervous energy.She was turning eighteen. Tonight, the mate bond would activate, and fate would reveal her other half.She scanned the crowd, searching for him. Alpha Kael Ashford.He stood near the grand bonfire, his commanding presence drawing every eye in the crowd. The fir

    The clearing felt charged with an electric tension, the air thick enough to choke on. Seraphina froze, her glowing hands trembling at her sides as Kael stepped closer. His eyes were locked on hers, sharp and unrelenting, the Alpha in him radiating authority.“What have you done?” Kael repeated, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade.“I didn’t—” she stammered, backing away from the pedestal. The glow on her hands flickered and faded as panic set in. “I didn’t do anything.”“Don’t lie to me.” His growl was low and menacing, sending a shiver down her spine. “That light, those runes—what did you touch?”Seraphina’s back hit a tree, and she stopped, her chest heaving. Her mind raced, searching for an explanation she didn’t have. The voice, the pedestal, the surge of power—it was as much a mystery to her as it was to him.“Nothing,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Kael didn’t believe her. She could see it in his eyes, the way they burned with suspicion. “You’re lyin

    The scent of blood lingered in the air,mingling with the ramp earth as Seraphina stumbled back toward her pack's territory. Every step was a struggle, her body still trembling from the encounter with the shadow creature. Her mind raced, replaying the night's events over and over, the rejection, the pedestal, the fight and Kael's final words.“I won't hesitate to end you myself”.Her wolf whispered in her mind, weak and confused. She had no answers, no explanations for what had just happened. All she had was the suffocating weight of Kael's blame and the terrifying verification that something inside her had awakened- a power she couldn't control,let alone understand.The woods grew darker as she neared the pack's border. The faint glow of crescent falls’ lights flickered through the trees, a reminder of the life she thought she had known. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed to her knees,her breath hitching as exhaustion overtook her.“Seraphina”The voice was familiar, soft and conce

    Seraphina awoke to the sharp sting of her shoulder wound, the metallic scent of blood heavy in the air. Blinking against the harsh light, she tried to sit up, but her body protested every movement. A low groan escaped her lips.“You’re awake.”Kael’s voice was low, flat, and far from comforting. He stood by the window of what appeared to be a small, dimly lit cabin. The stormy gray of his eyes didn’t soften as he turned to face her.“What… where am I?” Seraphina rasped, her throat dry.Kael crossed the room in two swift strides, towering over her as he scrutinized her condition. “You passed out after your brilliant idea to take on a rogue with no plan. I had to carry you back to the outpost.”“Carry me? You mean you carried me in here? Why? How?” she repeated, her voice laced with disbelief and embarrassment.“Just thank me and stop questioning me, you fainted in the middle of everything, you are too weak” he said sarcastically, crossing his arms.She pushed herself up on the cot, her

    Seraphina’s heart raced as she made her way through the forest, her mind a whirlwind of confusion and anger. The cool night air was sharp against her skin, but the chill had nothing on the turmoil brewing inside her. She couldn’t stop thinking about the rogue wolf that had attacked her, the coldness in Rhea’s voice, and the strange tension that hung between her and Kael. It all felt like a web, and she was tangled right in the middle of it.“Why are they after me?” she muttered aloud, her voice breaking the silence of the night. Her eyes scanned the shadows, half-expecting another rogue to appear, though she was certain the forest was empty. The wind rustled through the trees, whispering secrets she couldn’t understand. “What have I done wrong?”She thought back to the events of the past few days—the attack on the rogue pack, Kael’s sharp words, and Rhea’s cutting comments. It all pointed to something bigger than she could comprehend. The rogues weren’t just random, they were after her

    The huge, scary forest was still alive with shadows when Cora arrived, stepping lightly through the underbrush as if the earth itself whispered her name. Her steps were measured and deliberate, a silent grace that had always been a part of her. Though Cora was known for her quiet demeanor, there was a sharpness to her eyes, an unspoken understanding that made her presence impossible to ignore. She had always been the quiet one, the sister with the power to see what others could not,a gift, or perhaps a curse, depending on how one looked at it. Her ability to peer into the unseen, to glimpse futures and truths others couldn’t, made her both revered and feared. It was a gift she carried heavily, but one she’d never shared lightly.As she neared the cabin, she caught sight of her sister standing by the door, her body stiff with tension. Seraphina had always been strong,too strong for her own good at times—but Cora could see the cracks in her exterior, the battle raging inside her. It was

    The heavy silence in the hall had yet to dissipate. The murmurs and whispers of the pack members buzzed through the air, but the attention was all on Luca and Seraphina. Standing side by side, they were the picture of power—one confident, the other determined to hold her ground. But beneath the surface, a storm was brewing.Luca didn’t look at her as she stepped closer, his expression unreadable. Seraphina tried to ignore the slight twinge of doubt that had crept into her chest. His gaze was distant, like he was already somewhere else—somewhere far beyond the walls of this hall, beyond everything they had just done.Seraphina's throat tightened. What’s going on?She had claimed her place as Luna, yes. But there was something about the way Luca stood there, his posture rigid, his eyes cold, that unsettled her. He had made his choice—she was his Luna, the future of the pack. And yet… his demeanor spoke volumes.“Luca,” she said, her voice quiet but firm.He blinked, as though he’d just

    The room remained unnervingly silent, a tension so thick it seemed to stifle the air itself.Nova's hands trembled, the weight of disbelief pressing against her chest. She could feel the eyes of the entire pack on her, waiting for her reaction, for any sign of weakness. But inside, she was boiling. Her heart pounded in her chest like a drumbeat, its rhythm matching the anger surging through her veins.Her gaze flicked to Seraphina, who stood beside Luca, a silent, smug satisfaction in her eyes. The woman she had always considered a distant threat was now standing where she had believed she would—at Luca’s side, as his Luna. Her position, everything she had worked for, had just been yanked out from under her feet. And worse, Luca had chosen Seraphina over her, not just as his Luna, but as his partner in every sense of the word.How could he? How could he choose her? After everything she had done for him.Without warning, Nova’s fist tightened around the crystal glass in her hand, the d

    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.
