What game is this now? she wondered bitterly, her contempt bubbling back to the surface. Of course, this entire situation was by his design.

The overbearing bastard had likely ensured they shared the same space to keep her under his thumb.

She imagined the smug conversations he must have had, ordering everyone to keep her in his proximity.

She drew in a deep breath, inhaling slowly as she fought to calm herself.

They think keeping me near the strongest will stop me from running? They think I won’t find a way out?

Her jaw tightened, and she steeled herself. I’ll show them just how wrong they are.

With her composure somewhat regained, she sauntered toward the bathroom, forcing herself to move with deliberate confidence.

Her chin lifted, her steps measured, her expression schooled into one of icy indifference.

Adolphus was nowhere to be seen as she reached the bathroom door.

She didn’t know whether to feel relief or irritation that he hadn’t thrown some arrogant

  • The Alpha's Damnation   Dining With Her Captor

    Seraphina left Adolphus’s room with her towel draped over her arm, her bare feet padding softly on the wooden floor. The oversized shorts she wore were a nuisance, slipping low on her hips with every step, forcing her to adjust them constantly. Each movement irritated her further. The faint clinking of cutlery reached her ears as she stepped into the main hall, which doubled as a living and dining space. Adolphus was seated at a modest table near the kitchen, his broad frame slouched slightly as he laid out a simple meal. His movements were deliberate yet unhurried, as though he had all the time in the world to enjoy his existence. “Come eat,” he said casually, his voice carrying a soft authority, almost as though he expected her compliance. She halted, her eyes narrowing. “I don’t like bread,” she deadpanned, each word laced with deliberate indifference. Adolphus didn’t look up right away, calmly continuing his task as though her sharp tone didn’t faze him. “We

  • The Alpha's Damnation   The Hate From The Pack

    The house was oppressively silent, the kind of quiet that felt intentional, as if the world itself wanted her to sit with her thoughts and stew. Seraphina leaned against the windowsill, staring out at the scenery beyond. The weather was unexpectedly pleasant, a soft, balmy breeze carrying the faint scent of pine and damp earth. She had imagined werewolves living in bustling packs, constantly surrounded by noise and activity. But here? There was only the quiet hum of nature, a stillness she didn’t trust. Where is everyone? she thought, her brow furrowing. But she wouldn’t ask. She didn’t want to know. She had planned to do nothing today. No exploring, no stepping outside the house—just sitting in solitude and waiting for this nightmare to end. But as the minutes dragged on, she realized there was nothing in the house to hold her interest. No books to read, no distractions to cling to. Or maybe she simply didn’t want to be interested in anything Adolphus or his wor

    “Nothing to do with it?” the younger woman cut in, laughing bitterly. “Your family hunted us. Killed our alpha. And now we’re supposed to just accept you? Never.” The others muttered in agreement, their gazes like daggers slicing into her. Seraphina’s heart pounded, but she forced herself to stand tall. “Your people retaliated,” she shot back, her voice sharper now. “You killed my family. Doesn’t that make you just as guilty?” The older woman’s jaw tightened, but her glare didn’t waver. “You’re lucky we haven’t done worse,” she said coldly. “You don’t belong here, Hunter’s daughter.” Seraphina felt the words like a blow to her chest, but she refused to let them see her pain. She lifted her chin, her eyes blazing. “I didn’t choose to be here,” she said. “And if you think I want anything to do with any of you, you’re wrong. I was abducted and kept here against my will” “We still wonder why,” the snided. She turned sharply, her sandals crunching against the gravel as she

  • The Alpha's Damnation   Adolphus Showing Off

    Adolphus watched from below, his smirk softening into something almost…admiring. But when she glanced down at him, he quickly looked away, back to his feet, as if she were the one who’d been caught staring. She sighed and before she’d look up again he was perched up and smiling down to her, her eyes widened and she looked down, he landed square before her eyes making her roll her eyes. “Show-off,” she muttered, shaking her head as she continued upward. Séraphina knew more of foreign animals than Adolphus because her parent, her family were supernatural hunters and they caught and brought all sort of creatures. A monkey was one of them one day and Seraphina was happy she won this argument. Finally, she reached the wide, flat branch she’d been aiming for. She perched on it carefully, her legs dangling over the edge. The view from up there was breathtaking—endless trees stretching out in every direction, the sky an endless expanse of blue above her. For the first time

    “I’ll find it. I’m a Hunter,” she snapped, throwing the words over her shoulder without breaking stride. Adolphus winced theatrically, one hand lifting to his temple as though her words had physically pained him. “You might want to keep that down,” he warned, his voice quieter but no less firm. That stopped her. She turned to face him, her golden eyes blazing as she leveled him with a glare that could have melted steel. For a moment, they stood there in silence, her anger crackling in the air between them like an electrical storm. Adolphus just smiled, a slow, crooked grin that didn’t bother hiding his amusement. “Careful,” he said softly. “Your glare might actually work if you keep practicing.” Her jaw clenched, and without another word, she turned sharply on her heel and resumed her march toward the settlement, her strides longer and quicker than before. Adolphus shook his head with a small laugh, falling into step behind her. He didn’t say anything more, but the s

  • The Alpha's Damnation   The Nap And Celebration

    After finishing her meal, Seraphina pushed back her chair, her movements stiff and reluctant. She glanced at Adolphus’s mother, who stood by the sink washing dishes, her kindness palpable in every gesture. Seraphina swallowed her pride and mumbled, “Thank you for the food.” His mother turned, her smile gentle and understanding. “You’re welcome, dear. You can always come back if you need anything.” Seraphina gave a faint nod, clutching the bundle of clothes to her chest as she left. The moment she stepped out of the house, she heard footsteps behind her. Adolphus was following, his strides long and casual, but his presence was anything but subtle. She glanced over her shoulder. “Why are you following me?” she snapped, her voice laced with irritation. “I want to make sure you don’t get lost,” he said smoothly, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Wouldn’t want you wandering into the woods and getting eaten.” “I can handle myself,” she retorted, quickening her pace t

    “I'm curious about how you all can dance and laugh after destroying my family,” she said, her voice low but cutting. Her words hung in the air between them, and for a moment, the music and laughter seemed distant. Adolphus’s smirk faded. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees as he looked at her. “We grieve in our own ways, Seraphina,” he said softly, his voice barely audible above the music. “You don’t have to understand it.” Her jaw tightened, but she didn’t reply. Instead, she stared at the dancers, her chest tightening with a mix of anger and sadness. She refused to show weakness, especially here, but the weight of everything was suffocating. “Stay for a while,” Adolphus said, breaking the silence. His voice had softened, almost gentle. “You might learn something.” She shot him a glare. “I don’t want to learn anything from you.” But she didn’t leave. Something kept her rooted to the spot, and despite herself, she found her gaze wandering back to th

  • The Alpha's Damnation   His Presence In Her Room

    Adolphus stood by the edge of Seraphina’s bed, his eyes softening as he watched her sleep. The moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over her face, illuminating the delicate features he had come to cherish more than he could admit. Her long lashes fluttered slightly, and her lips parted in a quiet sigh, drawing him closer with an invisible force. He missed her, missed the way she used to look at him before everything fell apart. Before the betrayal, before the bloodshed. But he knew she needed space, a chance to process the devastation he had brought into her life. It was the least he could offer her now. So he stayed at a distance, even when all he wanted was to hold her close and beg for a forgiveness he knew he didn’t deserve. Adolphus couldn’t resist any longer. He reached out, his large hand gently brushing against her cheek, the warmth of her skin a stark contrast to the coldness that had settled in his chest since the night of the m

    Seraphina curled up on the couch, pulling the thick knitted blanket over her legs as the movie played.The cabin was dim, the flickering light from the screen casting soft shadows on the wooden walls.She had no idea how much time had passed, but she was completely absorbed.The film transported her somewhere else—somewhere far from this town, far from the pack, far from her own complicated reality.The characters laughed, cried, fought, and loved, and for the first time in a long while, she let herself be pulled into a world that wasn’t her own.Her heart clenched at an emotional scene—a woman standing in the rain, waiting for a man who might never come back.Seraphina felt that. The uncertainty, the silent heartbreak. She hugged the blanket tighter.Just as the music swelled, a sharp knock resounded against her door.She startled, sitting up so fast the blanket slipped off her shoulders. The knock came again, firm but not urgent.She didn’t even think—she just moved.She practically

    Margarethe wiped her hands on her apron, eyeing the pot of simmering water.The dough was ready, resting in the wooden bowl, waiting to be pressed through the Spätzle maker.The kitchen smelled warm—like eggs, flour, and the faintest hint of salt.Margarethe turned to Seraphina with a smile. “Come, let’s take it outside.”Seraphina blinked. “Outside?”Margarethe nodded, already reaching for a tray. “We’ll serve the pack.”Seraphina stiffened. The pack. The same people who whispered behind her back, who saw her as an outsider, maybe even a threat.Would they even eat something she made?Margarethe must have sensed her hesitation because she placed a warm hand on Seraphina’s arm. “Food brings people together, child. You helped make this. They’ll eat it.”Seraphina wasn’t so sure. She chewed the inside of her cheek but nodded anyway.She wasn’t about to back down. Not in front of his mother.Together, they carried the steaming bowl of freshly made Spätzle outside.The crisp evening air g

    Seraphina folded her arms, eyeing the old wooden kitchen skeptically.The room smelled faintly of herbs—dried rosemary and thyme hung from twine above the worn countertops, and the lingering scent of yesterday’s stew clung to the air.A single oil lamp flickered on the wooden shelf, casting shadows over the rustic stove.The window was open just a crack, letting in the cool evening breeze.She had no idea why she had agreed to this. Boredom, probably.Or maybe because Adolphus’s mother had this way of making her feel… safe, despite everything.“Are you going to help or just stand there looking miserable?” the woman teased, rolling up her sleeves.Seraphina exhaled and took a hesitant step forward. “I still don’t know what we’re making.”The older woman chuckled as she reached for a large ceramic bowl. “Spätzle,” she said, her accent thick with warmth.Seraphina frowned. “That sounds… like a disease.”That earned her a hearty laugh. “It’s not. It’s a simple dish—an egg noodle, soft and

    Adolphus stepped out of the black car, his sharp gaze sweeping across the town square.The scent of humans, mingled with the crisp bite of autumn air, filled his lungs, but he remained unfazed.His heightened senses filtered through the cacophony of smells—freshly baked bread from the bakery down the street, the oil and metal tang from a nearby blacksmith, the faintest traces of blood from a butcher’s shop.He was here for business.Despite the werewolves’ hidden existence, Adolphus had managed to carve out a name for himself in the human world, disguising his wealth and influence under the facade of an enigmatic entrepreneur.He was a man who struck fear into his enemies and commanded unwavering loyalty from his allies.But unlike humans, he didn’t need tricks or false bravado to command respect. He simply was.As he strode into the grand meeting hall, the murmurs quieted.The town’s most powerful figures—merchants, landowners, and even the mayor himself—were already seated, waiting

    Hours later, Adolphus finally stepped inside, his presence filling the room like a storm waiting to break.The air was thick with her scent—warm, intoxicating, unmistakably hers.His wolf stirred beneath his skin, satisfaction curling through him like smoke. He could get drunk on it.He wanted this. Her. Here. Always.His sharp gaze swept over the space, noting the small details—the way the sheets were slightly rumpled from where she had curled up, the way the air still carried the faintest whisper of her emotions.His eyes flicked to the table, where the empty plate sat drying from its wash.She ate.A smirk tugged at his lips. Good girl.Even though she had washed the plate, he still picked it up, turning it in his hands as if it held some deeper meaning.Silly little hunter.She had no idea, did she?No idea that with every bite, she fell a little deeper into the world she claimed to resist.Satisfied, he placed the plate down and exhaled slowly.Then, with precise movements, he sh

    When morning came, Seraphina woke up with a heavy weight on her chest and a bitter taste in her mouth.The blissful haze of the kiss had vanished, replaced by the cold clarity of daylight.Her brows furrowed as anger surged through her veins, a mix of regret and frustration gnawing at her.What had she been thinking? Kissing him back? Allowing herself to feel… anything?She groaned and turned over, pulling the blanket over her head as if it could shield her from the memories that flooded her mind.Her heart felt like a traitor, betraying her with every rapid beat.She didn’t want to see him. She didn’t even want to think about him.The hours dragged on as she lay there, motionless and stewing in her own emotions.Anger, regret, sadness—they all swirled within her, creating a storm that refused to settle.A knock came at the door, firm but not overbearing. She didn’t move.“Seraphina,” Adolphus’s voice called out, smooth but with a hint of annoyance beneath it. “I know you’re awake. Op

    Seraphina entered her room, her steps unsteady, her mind completely blank except for the lingering warmth on her lips.She closed the door behind her and leaned against it, her chest rising and falling as her heart raced wildly in her chest.What just happened?Her hand trembled as she touched her lips, her fingertips brushing over them as though she could still feel the press of his mouth against hers.Her knees felt weak, and she stumbled toward the bed, collapsing onto it silently.She stared at the ceiling, wide-eyed, as the realization of what had just transpired slowly dawned on her.“Oh my God…” she whispered, her voice barely audible in the quiet room.Her lips parted, and a shaky exhale escaped as her thoughts spiraled.That was… so good. The memory of his lips—soft but insistent, demanding yet gentle—sent a shiver down her spine.Her second kiss. And it was him. Again.Adolphus had been her first kiss, too.She still remembered that moment as vividly as if it had happened ye

    “You’ve been moody today,” he said, leaning closer, his body looming like a shadow over her. As if she hasn't been moody since she came here.“Care to tell me why? Or shall I guess?”Seraphina’s breath hitched.His presence was overwhelming, the air around him practically humming with restrained energy.Her thoughts were wild and incoherent as she glared up at him. “Just… move, Adolphus. I don’t want to talk to you right now.”His smirk faded. In its place came something darker, something sharper.He tilted his head, his piercing gaze narrowing as if trying to peer straight into her soul.“Why?” he murmured, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. He moved closer, his body brushing against hers as he leaned in.“Because—” Her words caught in her throat as his face dipped toward her neck.The warm puff of his breath against her skin made her stomach twist, a mix of fear and something she didn’t want to acknowledge.He inhaled deeply, his nose brushing the curve of her neck.His entir

    “Who am I even becoming?” she whispered aloud, her voice soft but laced with self-reproach.But as she said the words, something inside her clicked.Her gaze sharpened, and she straightened her shoulders, her fingers loosening their grip on the towel. I’m Seraphina Hunters.I come from a family of hunters, and I’m not some timid little girl who hides in bathrooms.She took a deep breath, her lips pressing into a firm line.She could feel her heart still hammering in her chest, but she forced herself to ignore it. She was brave. She had to be.With that thought, she reached for the door handle, hesitating only for a second before pulling it open.The cool air from the bedroom greeted her, raising goosebumps on her damp skin as she stepped out.The towel felt smaller now, more precarious, but she held her chin high, refusing to let herself shrink under the weight of her own nerves.She rushed out of the room and into the passage.The living room was quiet, but she knew he was there.
