Kaelion
I had spent the last few days digging through every scrap of information I could find about Seraphina’s past. Every lead I followed only seemed to pull me deeper into the shadows, and it was becoming harder to tell what was real and what was a carefully constructed lie.
She was a mystery wrapped in chaos, and damn it, I needed answers.
Dax found the rogue first. My Gamma never wasted time, especially on those who crossed us. He shoved the man into the clearing. The rogue was disheveled, eyes wide with fear. “He’s got a message for you, Alpha Kaelion,” Dax said. “From Seraphina’s father.”
I stepped forward, narrowing my eyes. “That’s a hell of a claim.”
The rogue swallowed hard. “I-I was with her pack before she left. She—”
I didn’t have time for stammering. My fist slammed into his throat, cutting off the words. “Yo

11SeraphinaI woke to the sterile scent of antiseptic and the soft beeping of machines. My head pounded, my body heavy, like I had been dragged through hell and back. I blinked against the harsh white light, my throat dry as sandpaper.Then I saw him.Kaelion.He was sitting beside me, his broad frame taking up too much space, his arms crossed over his chest. His golden eyes flicked to mine, sharp and unreadable, but something flickered beneath the surface—something I didn’t dare try to understand.“You’re awake,” he said. His voice was low, steady, but it carried a weight I wasn’t ready to face.I swallowed, shifting slightly. A dull ache spread through my limbs, reminding me of what I had done. What I had lost control of.Panic coiled tight in my stomach.No. No, no, no.I had spent years—years—keeping her buried. Taming her. Suppressing every instinct, every whisper of power that threatened to rise. And yet…I had failed.My breath hitched as the memories slammed into me. Kiera. T

12KaelionHer body sagged against the pillows, her breaths coming in shallow, uneven bursts. A second passed. Then another.And then her eyes met mine.Disbelief.Horror.And something else. Something that cut deeper than either of us had words for.“What…” Her voice was hoarse, barely more than a whisper. “What did you do?”I released her, straightening. “I severed your connection.”She blinked, her hands trembling as they reached for her own skin, as if she could somehow claw the sensation back. “No.” She shook her head, eyes darting wildly around the room. “No, no, you didn’t—you—”“I did.”She sucked in a sharp, uneven breath.The silence was suffocating. For so long, she had resented the voice in her head, the presence that made her feel like a prisoner in her own body. But now, stripped of it, she was utterly alone. The wolf had always been there—growling when she was afraid, snarling when she was weak, whispering when she was uncertain. Even in hate, they had been bound.Now,

13SeraphinaThe silence was suffocating.I woke up with my heart hammering against my ribs, my breath uneven, my body already moving before my mind caught up. The room was dimly lit, unfamiliar. The scent of stone and something faintly metallic clung to the air. My pulse pounded in my ears as I reached for something—someone—only to be met with nothing.No presence. No warmth. No whisper of my wolf in the back of my mind.I gasped, shoving down the rising panic. My fingers dug into the sheets before I forced myself to move. The floor was cold beneath my bare feet as I pushed off the bed and made my way to the door. It didn’t budge. I rattled the handle harder, frustration building in my chest.Locked.I looked toward the window, my eyes scanning for an escape, but the glass was sealed tight. My fingers ran along the edges, trying to find a way to lift or unlock it. It wouldn’t budge. The window was as trapped as I was.The weight of the confinement settled over me, I swallowed hard, p

14KaelionShe was locked in the room next to mine. It wasn’t trust that made me keep her so close—it was necessity. I needed to watch her. Study her. Understand what exactly had led her here.Every night, I brought medicine. It was the only thing I could do for her, not that she appreciated it. Her wounds wouldn’t heal properly with her wolf suppressed, so I applied the salve myself. She fought me at first, of course. She always did. But I had the patience of a predator. I had all the time in the world to wait her out.Tonight was no different.When I entered the room, she was asleep. The dim light cast soft shadows across her face, highlighting sharp cheekbones and the slight furrow between her brows. Even in rest, she seemed ready for war.Beautiful.I froze.Had I just thought that?My jaw tightened. I shook off the thought, stepping closer, my movements careful. She shifted slightly, but didn’t wake. Her breathing was steady, her chest rising and falling in a calm rhythm. It was

15SeraphinaThe door clicked shut. I heard the lock turn. Again.I swallowed the frustration burning in my throat and let my head fall back against the pillow. My pulse was still uneven, my body still tense from his presence. From the way he looked at me.Kaelion.Even his name felt like a snare tightening around my throat.I turned onto my side, curling my fingers against the sheets. The room was quiet, but his scent lingered—cool, crisp, edged with something wild. He always smelled like the first bite of winter. Like the moment before a storm.I hated it.I hated how familiar it was becoming.I clenched my jaw.He thought he had me figured out. Thought he could read me like he read everyone else. But he was wrong.I wasn’t some puzzle for him to solve.And I sure as hell wasn’t going to let him win.My arm ached where he’d applied the salve, but the pain was dull now. Manageable. I pressed my palm over the bandage, exhaling slowly. My wolf should have healed this already. If she we

16SeraphinaFor a moment, neither of us moved.Dan followed his gaze, and his expression darkened slightly when he saw me standing there. He didn’t smirk this time. His mouth pressed into a thin line, and a flicker of irritation passed over his features before he masked it.“Well,” he said, voice flat. “Look who finally left her cage.”Something about his tone made it clear—he didn’t like me. But he didn’t step forward. Didn’t challenge me. Because Kaelion was right there.I ignored Dan and kept my gaze locked on Kaelion. He didn’t look surprised to see me. If anything, something unreadable flickered in his expression.“You’re supposed to be resting,” he said, voice calm but laced with quiet authority.I lifted my chin. “And you’re supposed to be keeping me locked up. Seems we’re both ignoring orders.”Dan exhaled sharply, almost like a scoff, but he didn’t add to the conversation. His fingers flexed at his sides, like he wanted to say something but knew better.Kaelion noticed.His

17I could feel the blood pounding in my ears as I moved down the hall, the sound of chaos intensifying with every step. What the hell was going on?My mind was still reeling from the moment I had just left behind. Her. Seraphina. Her defiance had set something off inside me, something dangerous, something I couldn’t quite control. She had stood there, unflinching, eyes locked on mine, as if daring me to act. I’d wanted to break her, bend her will to mine, to remind her who held the power here. But damn it, that moment… the way she held her ground. It had shaken me more than I cared to admit.The crash had interrupted us, and I couldn’t help but feel a sick sense of relief. It was the only thing that had pulled me away from her. From the almost kiss. The heat between us had been unbearable, and yet, I’d stepped back, obeying the instinct to address the immediate threat. A threat, I suspected, much more pressing than whatever was happening between Seraphina and me.I turned the corn

18SeraphinaDays passed and passed and one evening, he didn’t bring the salve. Instead, he stood at the doorway, arms crossed, watching me.I glared at him from where I sat on the bed. “Forget something?”“No.” He tilted his head slightly, as if studying me in a way I couldn’t quite decipher. “You need air.”I frowned. “What?”“You’re suffocating in here.” His gaze flickered to the window. “I’m taking you outside.”A sharp laugh left my lips before I could stop it. “Right. And if I try to run?”Kaelion’s expression didn’t change. “Then I’ll catch you.”Something in the way he said it sent a shiver down my spine. It wasn’t a threat. It was just a fact.I clenched my fists, heart pounding, but I didn’t argue. Maybe it was the exhaustion of being caged for so long, or maybe it was the simple, aching need to feel the wind against my skin again.So I stood.The first step outside was like breaking through the surface of a frozen lake.The air hit me hard—cool, fresh, carrying the crisp sc

28 Kaelion’s POV I didn’t trust this woman. Luna was too smooth, too sweet, her words like honey laced with poison. And the way she kept smiling at Seraphina, like she actually cared, made my skin crawl. I watched her closely as she raised her glass to her lips, sipping her wine slowly, her eyes flicking between me and Seraphina. She was playing a game, and I hated not knowing the rules. When the food arrived, I didn’t hesitate. I reached for Seraphina’s plate, pulling it toward me. She didn’t protest, just watched as I picked up her fork and cut into the meat. Slowly, I brought the piece to my mouth and chewed. Luna let out a soft chuckle, tilting her head. “My, how protective,” she mused, swirling the wine in her glass. I didn’t answer. I was too focused on the taste. Nothing seemed off. No bitterness. No strange aftertaste. But that didn’t mean anything. If Luna wanted to harm Seraphina, she wouldn’t be so obvious. After a moment, I placed the plate back in front of her.

Chapter 31 Seraphina’s POV “You’re joining me in training.” I stared at Kaelion like he’d just grown another head. “Training?” My voice came out higher than I expected. “But… I—I’m not ready.” He didn’t flinch. His tone was matter-of-fact, as if this was just another morning. “You need control. You want answers. Training is where we start.” “But I don’t even know how to throw a punch,” I mumbled. “You’ll learn.” His eyes softened slightly. “I’ll teach you myself.” The words shouldn’t have meant so much, but they did. My heart gave a traitorous little thump. Kaelion—Alpha heir, warrior—was offering to help me. Not because he had to. But because he wanted to. “Okay,” I said, barely above a whisper. “I’ll come.” He gave a short nod, the corner of his lips twitching just slightly. “Good. Sunrise. Don’t be late.” I showed up the next morning barely awake, still stiff from yesterday’s chaos, but determined. My new clothes were simple and functional: dark leggings, a fitt

Chapter 33Kaelion’s POVEver since that night in the woods, when Seraphina’s shift shook the forest and sent ripples through the pack’s bond, things had changed.Especially for my wolf.Speedy had always been possessive when it came to her—but now? He was feral with want. Restless. Needy.It was like her wolf had awakened something ancient inside mine. Something wild and obsessed.Every time she came close, her scent wrapped around me like a noose. Her heartbeat became a drum I couldn’t ignore. Her energy teased mine—then slipped away like smoke.And the worst part? She was avoiding me.Actively.Painfully.I saw her in the corridors and she’d turn the other way. Training? She’d come early, leave early. Dinner? She sat with the Delta females now, ignoring the seat next to me like it was cursed.Speedy paced endlessly in my mind. She’s ours.

Chapter 32 Seraphina’s POV My blade clashed against Kaelion’s with a sharp crack, the shock of impact rippling up my arms. “You’re improving,” he said, stepping back. “You still telegraph your swings, though.” I exhaled, adjusting my grip. “Maybe because I’m swinging at someone who looks like he could break a tree in half.” A smirk played on his lips. “Flattery won’t stop me from knocking you on your ass.” “Noted,” I muttered, and lunged again. We trained until the sun was high, sweat dripping into my eyes, my muscles burning. But it was the kind of burn that meant progress. Kaelion didn’t hold back, but he never let me fall too hard. When I tripped, he caught me. When I stumbled, he steadied me. And when I got back up, he always nodded like that was what mattered most. The days following the incident had turned cold, even under the sun. Whispers followed me through the corridors. Side-eyes. Paused conversations. And Kaelion. Always near. Always watching.
