~Jamal~ “Alpha Jamal I wasn’t expecting to see you this late...” The Alpha King ushered me into his office, Finn was standing beside the door of the office and everything seem to be scrambled together. It looked messy as if it hasn’t been cleaned for days and no one has come in here except him and some of his men. “I should have been here earlier...” I took in the office before I stepped in. “...we have wasted enough time.” “I know.” He coughed and a hand held onto his chest.I grab a bottle of water from his desk. “Here.” “Thank you, Alpha.” I know how Seraphim was always worried about her father, he probably occupied most of her thoughts. “Don’t worry about me.” He waved his hand and sat on his desk. I nodded curtly and scanned through his desk with my eyes but there wasn’t anything that got my attention on his desk. I took my gaze away. “Any progress?” “We haven’t gotten anything yet.” He drank from the water and dropped the bottle on the table. I turned and stared at Fi
~Samara~ I didn’t bother to struggle with Logan when he threw the door open and entered the room. He jumped on the bed and gave me a firm look. My eyes were tired and heavy, and my breathing was faint. My eyes were spinning in front of me and I could barely make a face of Logan. “How does it feel?” He chuckled evilly with his hand on the chain around my neck. “Given up already?” He held my arm and held out a syringe, I don’t know what was in it and I couldn’t think of what would be in there. It was sad, that I wasn’t able to do anything. I smacked my lips together and stared at my with my eyes partly opened. “With you gone, it would be easy to take everyone out.” He grinned. “Fuck.” He groaned and dropped the syringe after he felt my pulse which was quite weak. “What should I do to you, Sera? Huh? I was thinking of sending your body to your father or should I send them to Jamal?” “Bastard.” I mouthed and Logan hit me over the head. “I was being nice.” He hissed and draw me
~Samara~When I opened my eyes darkness met me, I blinked a few times and take in where I was. Then I remembered I was in the woods with Jamal and he was taking me home. I jerked up immediately. It was too dark in here and squinted my eyes but still couldn’t see much. “Jamal!” I shouted.What happened when I blacked out? I know I was searching for Jamal before I passed out, I touched the side of my head, there was a bandage on it. I remembered the fall and how I had hit my head pretty badly. What happened to Jamal, did they keep fighting after I blacked out? I didn’t know what hit us but I know someone attacked us. How long have I been here?“Are you awake?” I heard the voice speak and turned on the switch in the room and the light flooded me. I exhaled in relief as he came closer to the bed. “Sera?” The voice turned worried as he marched down to the bed, I stared at him with my tear-filled eyes. He climbed on the bed when he saw the tears in my eyes and wrapped his hand gently a
~Seraphim~The door opened and Jamal came into the room looking all angry. My hand let go of the doorknob and I stared at Jamal intently as he prowled around the room. “What was that?” I asked calmly. Jamal stalked towards me and placed a hand on my shoulders. He tried to calm his breathing.“I was going to break your breakfast in bed, you are awake already, I will send them to bring the food so you can seat.” He spoke in a soft tone and the angry look in his eyes seem to fade out. “What was going on outside, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to overhear the discussion.” “It was nothing serious.” It didn’t seem like it was nothing to me, Jamal was hiding something from me that he wasn’t willing to share. What was the talk about his mate?Why did I think that I would be able to stay by Jamal’s side when he has a true mate and that’s somewhere close? Why did I allow him to mark me when he wasn’t my second chance mate but only an agreement between us?It would be an offen
~Jamal~“The old farts are here Alpha...” Sebastian’s voices come through the door. “The request to see you and the Luna at the pack house.” He announced and retreated from the door. He knows I have heard him, and doesn’t need to get a reply from me. I was watching Sera sleep with my finger twirling a piece of her hair. I glanced over at her stomach and my hand was itching to be placed there. She was having our pup, I never thought I would ever feel this so much happiness in my life. Even when I had contracted her as a safeguard to the pack, I never knew I would ever feel this way towards her. I don’t care about anything else. It’s been three days Seraphim has been in my arms, I want nothing more than to take care of her and keep her safe, and now that she was pregnant, I would do the unspeakable to protect them. Even if it will cost me, my soul. I would do anything to keep them safe. Seraphim and my pup.I was driving down to the pack house, Sera has been quiet with her gaze o
~Jamal~ “Alpha, they have been attacked!” “Wolves in the east have been attacked!” A warrior cried. I slammed my hand on the table and pushed the chair backward. I was sending out orders that we were at war and need as many warriors as we can get. “Alpha.” Sebastian pants into the room heavily. He must have been running. “They were attacked.” He held onto the wall gasping for breath. “You were right, your prediction was right Alpha. The Crystal Fall Pack is in chaos at the moment.” He breathed out.“I warned him.” “You did your best Alpha, it was his fault that he refused to listen. It’s not your fault it happened. They lost a lot of the warriors about twenty of them.”I sat back on the chair with my hand clasped on my head. “Don’t you think Sera should know about this, it’s her father after all. She hasn’t stepped out of the house ever since.”“I don’t want her to get worried because of it. If she gets worried it won’t be good for her and our pup.” “Pup?” He murmured.“Yes,
~Seraphim~“I have to go, Sera.” Jamal’s hand was on my shoulders and my eyes were up at his worried face. “Stay with your father, you are home now. I will be back before sunset.” His hands went to my stomach and he placed a faint kiss on my baby bump. “Don’t stay out too late. Make sure all the doors in the palace are locked and see the pack doctor. I won’t be able to take you there, you’ve to visit him okay?” “I will, Jamal.” He pressed a kiss on my forehead and hugged me briefly. He went back to the car and drove off. I stared after him with the small box in my hand. “Seraphim.” My father’s voice made me take my eyes off Jamal’s car. I smiled and stretched out my arms for a hug. He returned the smile and hug me. “Let’s go inside. Alpha Jamal informed me of your coming. Let me take your box.”“No, Father. I’m stronger than you right now have you been taking your medications?”“Of course.” He answered with a grin. He pushed the door opened and we walked in. I know he must hav
~Jamal~ ‘I have something to tell you Alpha. Which you have to know.’ He was mind-linking me. I did not tell Seraphim where I was going because I do not want to get worried because of it. ‘Talk to me, you spoke about a code what was it?’ I know the code he was talking about was probably a secret message which he wanted to tell me. Something wasn’t right with him, I suspected. ‘Tell me where you at?’‘You don’t have to come, Alpha. I don’t want you to be here.’ ‘Tell now!’ I demanded. ‘Or I will have you traced.’ ‘I’m close to the borders that are separating our pack from the Crystal Fall Pack. I’m deep in the woods, you know where the spot is Alpha. It’s called the graveyard.’ I nodded as I kept driving the car and stopped when it couldn’t go further, I opened the car door and came out. ‘And the code?’‘Alpha it is 2018117’ I repeated the numbers after he said that, and let the words play on my lips a couple of times. My feet were starting to hurt from the walking and I ha
