Seraphine's Point of View "Alright there, Sera?" I offered Leilani a small smile. "A bit." She offered the other half of her triangle sandwich as she claimed the empty space beside me. I raised an eyebrow at her even as I took it. "I noticed you still haven't eaten, and break time's gonna end soon. I'm full already, so you can have it," she explained. "Thanks," I replied. "So. You and Maximus aren't on good terms?" Of course, someone else would notice. It was obvious that we're not fine, seeing that there's no Maximus clinging to me like an overexcited puppy. The said puppy is currently drawing on the sand using a stick he picked up. He's at the same place where I befriended him. He has been ignoring me for three days. Not even a glance at my way. He didn't attend the nighttime play out with the other kids, he didn't walk beside me as we went home after classes. The guilt I've been feeling since I realised how harsh I have been to him continued to grow, yet I couldn'
Cassius' Point of View "Try smiling, you know? You won't lose anything if you smile." I looked up, arching an eyebrow at her. "I know. I just don't feel like smiling. Besides, as much as you look hot when angry, I'd rather avoid making you jealous. You're as scary as you're hot when mad with jealousy." She scoffed and lightly smacked my arms. "As if I'd get jealous over a swooning girl just seeing you smile when I'd already seen you naked and moaning?" I spluttered inelegantly at her blunt remark. She laughed at my expression. "Hey! Where did my demure — go? She would never speak plebeian remarks like that!" "Oh come off it, you blubbering idiot of an Alpha. I was never demure; we both know that. Besides, I'm just countering your point earlier. You haven't properly retaliated, so I'll ask you again: why would I be jealous of girls when they see you smile and start giggling like teenagers, when I have been your bedmate for more than two years already?" My heart skipped a b
Seraphine's Point of View "Seraphine Wildfrost, why aren't you up yet? Your guest is waiting downstairs!" My eyes went wide, just remembering that Forester would come to our house today. I immediately stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my face and then changed my clothes. I lazily tied my hair into a bun and ran downstairs, where I saw Forester sitting comfortably at the couch, talking amicably with my father. "Forester, I apologise for my tardiness," I greeted him once I approached them. He raised an eyebrow and appraised me for a moment before nodding his head. "It's alright. Your father entertained me while I was waiting." "Have you eaten?" I asked. "I just drank some milk. My parents were not around so no one cooked breakfast." "Then we should eat first. Mom prepared some. Come on, we shouldn't study with an empty stomach." Forester looked like he would decline, but decided against it when my father led him to the dining area. My parents asked him questions,
Seraphine's Point of View “Hello, Sera!” I glanced up from where I was rinsing my clothes to look at Leilani. “Hi.” “So still not in your best mood, I see.” I raised an eyebrow. “What?” She took a seat on the large rock just in front of where I am crouching. “Sera. Everybody knows you’ve been feeling off ever since the announcement. No one bothered you because Maximus’ stopped us from approaching you.” “I’m fine.” “Look, Sera. I know we’re not as close as you are with Maximus— but I’m still a friend. Alright? If you need someone to talk to, I’m here. I’m pretty sure there are some things you can’t tell a boy best friend. My ears are all free to listen to your worries.” I completely disregarded my clothes as I turned my full attention to Leilani. She’s right. Even in my first life, I wasn’t very close with her, nor anyone else in fact. But now... I could use another friend that is not Maximus. And I do need a new set of ears in the future. There are things I really
Seraphine’s Point of View I crouched on the forest ground, breathing heavily. It took me a few minutes to catch my breath before I took a sip on my wooden flask. Sip turned into a full-blown drinking until not even a drop was left. “You need more exercise. I didn’t know you had such low stamina.” I shot Maximus a glare. “Low stamina?! We just walked three kilometres! Not to mention the river and steeped hills we had to go through! I am fairly certain my stamina is quite high if I endured that long before drinking.” Maximus chortled at my indignant expression. “You’re so easy to wound up! I’m just joking. I refilled my flask twice already, so you have better stamina than I do.” “I got to help you exercise more once we’re relocated then,” I stated. “You will need it.” I suppressed a grin at the hesitant look in his eyes, as if he’s already listing out all the procedures I’ll have him do. He’s not exactly wrong, because I do have pretty hard procedures when exercising. “Did
Seraphine’s Point of View “Welcome to Silvercrest Town,” the Alpha’s deep voice welcomed us, his tone soft and there was a smile on his otherwise stony features. Alfred took a step forward. “I, Alfred Warrington, spokesperson for our village, express our gratitude for the offer of Adoption. Words cannot fully capture how thankful we are.” “Our Scouts have seen qualities in you that are worthy,” the Luna replied. “If they are firm in their observations, we will not refuse potential additions to the pack.” “And for that, we are eternally grateful, Luna.” “For now, we know all of you are exhausted from the trip. Your residence had been finished earlier than the time my Scouts had told you, so I do apologise for your abrupt escorting,” Alpha Eros said and inclined his head as a small gesture of apology. “You can find the names of your families in front of the house, and you have tonight and the whole day tomorrow to rest before we proceed with the ceremony. Come, I will lead you
Seraphine’s Point of View “W-what?” I asked in a breathless tone. “I think I know you,” Cassius repeated. “I think I saw you already...” “You might have mistaken her over someone else. You just met her today, or you might have caught a glimpse of her last night when we arrived,” Maximus interjected, pulling me towards him. But Cassius still hasn’t let go of my wrist. So I was stuck in an awkward position between them. “No. I’m pretty sure I didn’t notice her last night,” Cassius said, shaking his head. Well, damn. “But she really, really looked familiar. Are you sure we haven’t met?” I swallowed the lump on my throat, refraining myself from yelling: 'Yes, we met already! In fact, we’re mates and married’, but that just sounds delusional, and I don’t want that to be their impression on me. “No, we haven’t,” I firmly answered, lying through my teeth. His shoulder sag in dismay, yet the narrowing of his eyes indicated that this will not be the last time I’m hearing about th
Cassius’ Point of View I looked at the slowly increasing crowd of people nervously waiting at the Assembly Hall. My eyes wander around, looking for a certain hot-headed blonde. Much to my dismay, there’s still no sign of her. “Looking for the girl you pissed off?” “You go and piss off, Luster.” Luster barked out a laugh as he settled himself beside me. “Right, you pissed off a lot of girls on a daily basis.” “Not my fault they can’t accept a simple ‘no’,” I said, shrugging. Luster shakes his head, completely used to my attitude. “How is a ‘I have no interest in associating myself to people who just want to leech off my name and status’ a simple ‘no’?” Luster rolled her eyes. “That was a mean way of rejecting people, just so you know.” “That’s how I simply reject them, man. You would not want to hear the mean way.” He dissolved into laughter at that as he playfully shoved me. “You are such a big jerk.” “I know,” I said, sticking up my chin. “There she is,” Luster s
