Alexander

"We haven’t really won until I have his body in a casket, you know?" I tilted my head back, gasping for breath. Each inhale was a struggle, the pain a relentless reminder of how much more I still had to endure. "I couldn’t do it in front of his kid. I just couldn’t bring myself to."

"You’re more skilled than I am," Jeremiah said, his voice heavy with concern. "Hey, boss, it looks like we can’t reach Greece anymore. Everything is completely wrecked. I couldn’t help but think about Seraphina and how she might be feeling. I promised her I’d go back. 'Hey, boss, I gotta grab Jordan, alright?' I struggled to focus on him, my thoughts drifting back to her. I imagined her vividly, looking absolutely stunning, bathed in moonlight like a celestial vision. It felt like a dream—so clear, yet so impossibly distant.

"Hey there—" Seraphina knelt beside me, her cool touch brushing against my cheek. Her presence was a comforting warmth in the midst of my pain, and I let out a groan, strugg

    Alexander "She's not here," I murmured, utterly drained. His reaction was far from pleasant, as though I’d shattered a crucial part of his plan."Come on, you wouldn’t just send her away like that." Xandriel yanked my shirt and slammed me against the barn wall with brutal force. His eyes bore into mine, searching for answers, but all I could manage was a defiant smile. His response was a punishing punch to my face. "Where on earth is she?" he demanded, landing another blow. Despite the pain, I couldn’t help but chuckle. "Alright, wise guy, let’s see how much you find this amusing."He delivered a gut-wrenching punch that made my legs buckle. We both tumbled to the ground, and I struggled to get back on my feet. "Nah, I’m not finished yet. Just wanted to say," he continued with a sickeningly casual tone, "it would be great if you could listen. I had a lot of fun with her, spending time together every day. She was special to me; we had a great connection. She did everything I asked, an

    Seraphina “I’ll be leaving in about an hour. Just need to grab a few things.”We exchanged a brief glance before he stood up and vanished in no time. I slumped down in my seat, feeling the weight of everything pressing down on me. Resting my head in my hands, I tried to keep it together. No point in crying—he wouldn’t want that. I took a deep breath, giving myself a moment to sort through my jumbled thoughts. Wandering into the parlor, I found myself lost in the sea of antiques and framed pictures scattered across the mantels and side tables. Claudius and Alexander seemed to have a thing for these old artifacts. It felt like they had been collecting them for centuries. The place had this timeless vibe, like it had been around forever. As I strolled down the hallway, a slightly open door caught my eye.Inside, a single picture frame rested on the nightstand, casting a shadow that seemed to whisper sorrow. The room, with its navy walls and gold accents, felt strangely empty. I picked

    Seraphina “Hey, Strega, if he doesn’t come back before the full moon, I’ll make sure you’re mine, no doubt about it.” His expression was tight, eyes narrowed and trembling with a dark intensity. He held my chin firmly, making me worry he might snap it. “You won’t have any other option.” Some guys really see you as a prize to be won.“I’ll give it a shot,” I said, casually spitting at him in a last-ditch attempt to assert myself. His eyes closed as he took the hit, a wicked grin spreading across his face. He sidestepped, wiping my saliva off with a casual air. “Keep your distance.” I walked out of the room, my fists clenched, struggling to keep my anger in check. It felt like I was being tossed around like a toy, and it was gross.Alexander had to come back. I couldn’t let myself be stuck with another Xandriel. My fate felt like it was hanging by a thread, and it was crucial that Alexander returned.I hurried down the hallway, glancing over my shoulder to make sure Luca hadn’t followe

    AlexanderHe added, “We haven’t been able to get in touch with them for days. They might think we’re dead!”“Just for now!” I retorted, frustration boiling over. “Why wouldn’t Xandriel just come back, huh?” Our argument fizzled out as Percival entered the room, his face etched with distress.“The property line is secure, and most of the fires have been extinguished. We’ve taken a few prisoners, but we never found Xandriel’s body.” Percival slumped at the table, resting his head in his hands with a deep sigh. “Hey boss, we’ve lost quite a bit this time.” His words seemed to echo the hollow feeling in my chest.“Why isn’t this getting any better?” Jeremiah lifted the gauze, replacing it with a fresh one. Everything turned red instantly, and I winced at the pain. “You’re bleeding a lot. What did Jordan say?”“A wound caused by another alpha doesn’t heal easily,” I said, struggling to stay awake as the blood loss weighed heavily on me. “It’s going to need stitching. I assume you know what

    SeraphinaMy mind reeled, trying to process the gravity of her statement. Something felt deeply unsettling. I sensed it even before the full impact hit me.“Gone?” I repeated, the word feeling foreign and harsh on my tongue. It was like trying to hold onto a fading dream.“I’m so sorry,” Alaya said, her voice breaking. “The doctor did everything they could. Stress and its impact on your body played a part. There was nothing you could have done.” The room felt oppressively quiet, the only sound the steady beeping of the medical machines. The weight of the news pressed down on me, the sorrow and disbelief mixing into an overwhelming numbness. As I lay in the hospital bed, the loss felt like a crushing burden, making it hard to breathe, hard to think.“I did this,” I said, my heart racing and my chest feeling numb as if I were stuck on a roller coaster drop. The guilt pressed down on me like an unbearable weight. “Yeah, he mentioned that the baby was doing alright.”“You had surgery. Kee

    AlexanderThe BMW’s engine quieted with a press of a button, and I leaned back in the passenger seat, feeling the persistent sting of my wound. Every single stitch seemed to pulse with each movement. “We’ll start civilly and escalate if necessary,” I said. “If he’s done something, I’ll start by cutting off his fingers and then his hands.” The car doors opened, and the crunch of boots on pea gravel filled the air. “I’ve been through this with Margo before, and I don’t believe in giving second chances.”“Man, her scent is everywhere,” Jeremiah remarked, looking around. “Why would they have a motive right after a war? They know our guys got hurt. I thought we were on the same team?”“They probably knew that,” I replied, lighting up a cigarette and letting it dangle from the corner of my mouth. I shoved the pack back into my pocket. “They’re always trying to get the upper hand. Even though we’re allies, they still enjoy asserting dominance.”“You seem pretty chill about what we’re about t

    Alexander"You're well aware that my intentions were simply to get closer to Xandriel." Oops, my bad. I observed the responses to the mention of Kida's name, feeling a mix of guilt and defiance. "Actually, you encouraged me to do it, and I went ahead because, as you mentioned, I didn't really care about anyone or anything beyond my own circle. I still don't.""Yeah, the mistake you made," Darius said, glancing between me and Jamie. I felt a bit nervous and looked down at the floor, my stomach twisting in knots. "Well, it didn't stop you from doing the deed, so now you have a little one on your hands. Don't worry, Seraphina and the child will be well taken care of.""So, what exactly do you mean by 'taken care of'?" I whispered, feeling a chill run down my spine."Oh, obviously I meant a husband. What else could I have possibly meant?" He sounded amused. "Death?" There was a hint of laughter in his voice. "So, Claudius thinks he can just up and move to Greece and escape my control, huh

    Seraphina I wouldn’t be surprised if Alexander was quite brutal in battle, especially considering I saw him raiding Xandriel’s pack. And I wouldn’t put it past Xandriel to be just as ruthless. When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, you can bet it's going to make a huge impact. Two bitter foes, each determined to bring about the other's demise, are bound to clash violently. I could almost feel the tension in the air, thick with the weight of their impending clash.I just noticed that Alexander's ring is missing from my finger. It hit me like a punch to the gut. Looks like they took it while I was in surgery. It was the last remaining item he had given me, a tangible reminder of him that was now gone."Hey there, I hope you're doing alright," Sabelle said, extending her hand towards me with a neutral expression. Her tone was polite but distant, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. "Claudius wants to see you." I had no idea what Claudius wanted to discu

    As Frederick closed in on Zion, his eyes burned with a fierce desire for revenge. The effects of the sickness still lingered, fueling his rage. “I’ll get you, you traitor!” Frederick roared, his voice echoing with anger.Zion, though fully aware of the gravity of the situation, fought not just for his own survival but for the peace they all desperately sought. “Anastasia only needs you, Frederick!” he pleaded. “Don’t let your anger destroy everything we’ve worked for!”Just as Frederick was about to strike, a voice cut through the chaos. “Hey, hold up!”Anastasia stepped between them, her eyes a mixture of sadness and resolve. “Frederick, come on!” she called out, her voice trembling with a blend of fear and determination. “We need to find another way.”But Frederick, driven by rage, didn’t even glance her way. His focus remained fixed on Zion, and he ignored her plea.Desperate to reach Frederick, Anastasia called out again. “Frederick, it’s me! It’s Anastasia!” Her voice was laced w

    “She’s with Zion,” I said casually, watching his face change as fear and anger flashed across his features.“Who is Zion?” His confusion was clear, and I could see that talking about my sister was only making things worse. My hesitation to be completely honest had led us here, but I had to face the consequences.“Xandriel’s kid,” I explained. The fear in Frederick’s eyes was unmistakable. The gravity of the situation was sinking in.Frederick’s frustration flared again. “Are you serious?” he demanded, his voice rising. “Where are they?”“Hey, Frederick, let’s just hang tight,” I said, trying to calm him. “We’ve got a plan, and I’m confident it’s going to work. You’ve got to trust me on this one.” To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I believed myself, but Victor was our last hope. If this plan failed, it would be the end of the line.“I’m here to lend a hand and sort this out,” Frederick pleaded as I removed the final sensors from him, triggering the beeping monitors once more. Despite his

    “You’re not feeling well,” I said nonchalantly, not even bothering to look at him. It was like fate had led us to this moment. It was wild to think we’d end up here, but it felt like it was meant to be.Frederick let out an exasperated sigh, clearly uncomfortable. “I’ve never been sick,” he said, sounding both frustrated and bewildered. The bed creaked as he shifted, and the sheets rustled around him.“Hey, there’s a first time for everything. Just chill,” I advised, watching as he struggled to sit up. To my surprise, he actually listened, though it was clear the pain was taking its toll. “You’re not the strongest, but that’s totally fine.”“I can’t be weak,” he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper, as he noticed the IV tubes snaking into his arms. The sight of him, once a formidable Warrior, now so vulnerable, was unsettling.I was still angry as he said, “You would either be this way or dead.” The room fell into a heavy silence as he stared at me, his expression one of confusi

    When Darius mentioned dinner plans, Zion grabbed my arm and pulled me away, his urgency almost making me forget we were pretending. As we walked down the hallway, Darius called out, “This party is going to be one for the books!” I clung to Zion, gripping his wrists for support. My mind raced, trying to take in my surroundings in case things went wrong. Zion guided me into a bedroom and closed the door behind us, marking the end of what felt like an interminable journey.“Hugo,” I breathed, my anxiety spiking as I turned to face Zion. Hugo seemed like a real threat to our plans. “Nah, Zion, I just can’t—I really can’t.”Darius’s voice was reassuring as he said, “I won’t let him lay a finger on you, Anastasia. You just have to trust me.” He mentioned a dinner with friends to celebrate Victor, just as Zion had said. “Just gotta get through dinner, and our armies will be here.”I shook my head slightly, grabbing Zion by the shirt. “Can’t stop him. He’s a force to be reckoned with.” Hugo

    “Oh, it’s for Frederick,” I said casually. His name stumbled awkwardly off my tongue. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. I wished we could just be together as we should be—he was the only one I truly loved. We started this journey together. When Frederick wakes up, I’ll be gone, and I have no clue how he’ll handle that.Zion’s curiosity piqued, “How do you do this? Despite everything that’s happened, you still think it’ll get better?” He seemed to have his own scars, a hint of betrayal in his voice.“One day, there’s gotta be a light in the dark,” I replied, trying to stay hopeful. “I didn’t come all this way just to stop now.”Zion placed his hand over mine on the middle console, a casual gesture but one that held a lot of weight. “You good to go? Can you trust me?”“Yeah, I don’t,” I admitted. Looking back, trusting him seemed like my only option. Tomorrow could be a game-changer for Frederick. It’s funny—never thought I’d be the one to take down Winona. Many had tried before me an

    “I’ve got a couple of things to mention,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “My aunt Margo gets away with it. Frederick keeps his distance. I don’t want him anywhere near them.” I gave a nod to indicate that was settled.“Yeah, I agree,” Zion said, casually crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair. “He won’t be waking up for a few days. Diego has enough power to keep him out for a while. Can we wrap this up?” His casual demeanor masked the gravity of the situation as I paced back and forth in front of Nereus, discussing our sneaky plan.“I can work as quickly as you need me to, sweetheart,” Zion assured, though the term of endearment stung. I felt a pang of guilt for going behind Frederick’s back while he lay unconscious, the weight of my actions heavy on my conscience. “This is our only chance. If we mess this up, we’re all going to end up six feet under on that Winona farm. This is our one shot, so we’d better not blow it.”“So, what’s the game plan?” I asked, trying to f

    Curiosity nudged me as I trailed behind Diego and the others. “Do you think he’ll remember anything he did while the wolf was in control?” I asked casually, my voice barely above a whisper.“No way,” Jamie replied. That was the answer I’d hoped for. The thought that he wouldn’t remember my lies or the sting of the needle brought a small, bitter relief. Still, the guilt gnawed at me for causing him pain. Cassius stayed close, a quiet presence as we watched Frederick being carried down the hallway.“You did the right thing,” Cassius said softly, as if sensing my turmoil. But something felt off. The pain of betrayal cut deep, a raw ache I had never experienced before. The treachery felt like a knife twisting inside me.“I wish it didn’t hurt so much,” I whispered, trying to shove the painful memory aside. Suddenly, Nereus burst back up the stairs, blocking our path.“Hey, Anastasia, you might want to come downstairs,” Nereus said, his voice tinged with unease. I shot a look at Cassius, w

    Eventually, footsteps roused me from my restless sleep, guiding me to the other side of the bedroom door. When Frederick walked in, I let out a sigh of relief. The deep concern I felt for him was overwhelming, and I could barely stand it."I swung by Diego's office first, but you weren’t there," Frederick said casually, loosening his tie. I closed my eyes, trying to ignore the nagging thought of that ring sitting untouched in the desk drawer."I'm feeling much better," I said, forcing a smile. If he’d been paying attention, he’d have seen through the lie."I noticed that," he remarked, unbuttoning his shirt with a relaxed air. I shifted restlessly on the bed, trying to play it cool and hoping he wouldn’t catch on."Where have you been?" Frederick chuckled as if it was the most ridiculous question. "I got a bit concerned when you weren’t around when I woke up.""I left Rollo to take care of you," I said, watching as he turned away. He placed his rings on the desk and reached for two ne

    I tread carefully, trying to avoid rushing and risk encountering more trouble at the cellar stairs. The silence around me was eerie, and I kept my eyes sharp, scanning for any sign of danger. My mind flitted to the idea of calling my dad, but I hesitated. I didn’t want him dragged into this mess, fearing he might try to drag me back home. Maybe it was pride, or maybe it was the fear of his interference.Then there was Estelle. I thought about her growing up, reaching her prime, and hoped she’d never have to rely on her body like I had. It was comforting, though, to see her following in her father’s footsteps in her own way, even if it wasn’t ideal."Anastasia?" I heard Nereus’s faint voice. I picked up the pace, jogging towards the sound. As I rounded the corner, I saw the boys restrained in separate corners, but Nereus was the only one awake."Nereus?" I knelt beside him and quickly worked on untying the ropes burning his wrists. They smelled strongly of wolfsbane. "What did those pe
