|| SETH's POV ||As I stood before Sansa's grave, the weight of grief pressed down on me like a heavy stone. It had been months since she passed away, but the pain still felt fresh, raw, as though it had just happened yesterday."Seth." The voice cut through the silence, jolting me out of my reverie. I turned to see Caden, Sansa's father, standing a few feet away, his expression stern."Caden," I replied, my voice hoarse with emotion. "I didn't expect to see you here."Caden's eyes bore into mine, and I could see the anger simmering beneath the surface. "I come here every day, Seth," he said, his voice tinged with bitterness. "To visit my daughter's grave. To remember her. And do you know who I never see here? You."His words hit me like a slap in the face, and I felt a surge of guilt wash over me. He was right – I hadn't been here as often as I should have. I had let my grief consume me, allowing it to drive a wedge between me and those who cared about me."I'm sorry, Caden," I said,
|| SILVIA'S POV ||As I stood in Sansa's room, my heart pounding in my chest, I was suddenly overcome with a sense of dread. How had I ended up here? And why did everything feel so wrong?Before I could fully process my surroundings, the door swung open with a force that made me jump. Seth stood in the doorway, his expression twisted with anger. "Silvia, what the hell are you doing here?" he spat, his voice dripping with fury.I took a step back, my hands trembling at my sides. "I... I was just..." I stuttered, searching for an explanation that would satisfy his rage. But before I could find the words, he cut me off."You had no right to come in here," he continued, his voice rising with each word. "This room is off-limits to everyone except those who knew Sansa. And you, Silvia, are not one of them."I felt a surge of guilt wash over me, knowing that he was right. I had no business being in this room, no right to intrude upon the memories of someone I barely knew. But before I could
|| SILVIA's POV || I stopped visiting the pack house since the day Alpha Seth showed me my place. For a second, I thought of myself as a part of this pack. I was wrong since I would never be accepted by them as a human. A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I finished my fruit juice. The sound of the door opening snapped my attention back. A small part of my heart hoped to see Alpha Seth. It was shattered when I saw an unfamiliar face. With short black hair with baggy jeans, a girl around my age entered my room. Her eyes lit up as she spotted me, " You..are..the baby's mama, right?" I didn't know how to react since I still couldn't believe the fact that I was pregnant. Sometimes it scared the shit out of me. I replied awkwardly, getting up slowly, " Yeah....I mean.." She cut me off with a shrill cry, almost jumped on me as she kept asking, " I knew it! You are so damn beautiful. Your baby will be beautiful too. How far are you? Is the baby moving yet?" I almost choked on my saliva a
His question made Everett's blood all freeze in her body. She recalled how Ryan was punished for giving her a hand. She didn't want Arietta to go through the same suffering. Everett lied, her heart pounding wildly against her ribcages, " Me.. medicine... Treatment..." Fredrick narrowed his gaze on her answer. He was no fool to know that simple ointment did work on her quickly especially since she was a human. To her surprise, he ran his hands over her scarred back. Everett's body stiffened in unknown fear until she heard his rough and angry voice, " A wolf helped you! Who is he?" Everett's eyes turned big wide in shock. She didn't think that Fredrick would catch her so easily. As a new person among Lycans, she didn't know that the Lycans had possessed some great powers. One of them was to detect another wolf or Lycan by their power smelling sense. Everett stumbled on her words, trying to sound convincing, " No one... really... It's just an ointment..I...I..aah.." All of a sudden,
" YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING, DIEGO!!"It was my wolf who made the piercing comment, not addressing Diego as her Alpha anymore. I could only whimper inside to see my wolf, rising in defense. I wasn't an object to sell off. It was my life and I had the final choice to make one.Diego shot me a death glare, his canines popping out in rage. His wolf hated the fact that I called him by his name. His male ego was hurt but it didn't get hurt when he was talking about offering myself to the cruel, heartless, dragon king.Diego snarled, his deathly eyes laying on me," SHUT THE FUCK UP!! I made the choice! I am your Alpha and your mate. You will do what I tell you."I felt thousands of daggers, cutting my heart into pieces. Diego never cared about me but never in my imagination, I thought that someday he would make me bait to save the whole pack.King Gideon's eyes finally locked with mine. Even though he didn't say anything, I could feel a dark gleam, lurking behind his eyes. His gaze was too u
|| SILVIA's POV ||" He has started a war...for you ...."Alessio whispered into my ear, snapping me out of my thoughts. I stared at the mess in the room. Seth had butchered a few of the werewolves, roaring like a lion. He seemed like he had lost his consciousness.I swallowed the fear in my heart. I didn't know why Alessio believed that I could calm the mad Alpha. I observed Seth for a while. His eyes were glowing like the sunlight, a burning anger riding through his veins. My heart flew out of my chest in fear. I turned to Alessio, already giving up on the decision," I can't... Perhaps I will die but I can't do this shit."I tried to walk away from there but Alessio gripped me back in my position. He looked deep into my eyes, pleading and begging so brokenly," Please...He won't hurt you. You are carrying his child. Your child can calm him down. He has already done enough harm. Don't let him do it again."I couldn't ignore the plea in his voice. Letting out a sigh, I looked back int
|| SETH'S POV ||" You called for me?"Silvia spoke, peering her head through the door. She still didn't understand the fact that she had all the damn rights to walk through my office. I liked how she didn't feel desired for the position of Luna.I hummed softly, closing down the trading sheet that Alessio gave me," Yes, come inside."Silvia walked in, my eyes subconsciously falling on her belly. She had started to show her baby bump. Although all was forced on her, it made me so damn proud that my hair was growing inside her belly. She took the seat in front of me, her eyes resting on me curiously," Anything important?"I expelled a long sigh, preparing myself for the worst. I broke the news slowly, waiting for her reaction," You are coming with me to a ball tonight as my female companion."Surprise flickered in her eyes. She gulped before asking with a tight jaw," Means? As your mistress or girlfriend or what, Alpha?"My jaw clenched tight at her question. It annoyed me since my
|| SILVIA's POV ||I waited for his answer anxiously. Even though the reality was in front of me, I held onto that one percent hope. The media was crazy about taking pictures.His delay in response was bringing more intensity to the situation. Seth was silent for a good while until he wrapped his hand tight around my waist. He muttered weakly, shocking the reporters," She is my official Luna. No more questions!"He started dragging me forward carefully. I kept hearing the questions, thrown by the reporters," Is she your mate, Alpha? You haven't cleared the question. ALPHA!! ALPHA!!"Seth didn't answer any more of their questions. Although he didn't make it clear, I felt happy that he didn't call me 'his mistress'. All eyes were on me as soon as we appeared at the banquet. A woman in a Barbie gown came over to us with a big smile," Oh, Alpha Seth! What a pleasure! I thought that you would be missing the Alpha's birthday."Seth greeted her politely, bending his head down slightly," P
