Sera hesitated for a moment. Could she confide in Grace about the truth she had uncovered?Was Grace more loyal to her than to the king?Or Could the secret she found get them both killed?In the end, she decided to keep it to herself, it was not worth it to burden her friend with such a weighty information."Oh, Grace I just had a a little panic attack when I realized that I still have a lot to learn about Mador," Sera hoped her lie sounded believable as she, forced on a smile to mask the pain in her eyes. "I mean, becoming queen and ruling over the kingdom... What if the people don't accept me?" She added.It thankfully seemed to work because Grace smiled before placing a reassuring hand on Sera's shoulder. "Oh, my silly insecure Sera... don't you worry about that. You are smart, strong, and compassionate. The people will see that and embrace you as their queen. Besides, you have Alistair by your side, and he is one of the most respected and beloved rulers this kingdom has ever h
As the weeks passed and a severely depressed Sera spent countless hours in the library, pouring over tons and tons of historical records and old documents.She was determined to uncover every little lie, secret and cover up about her father's death. ‘Was is it true? Did her father really murder an innocent man in cold blood? Or was she just looking for an excuse to marry Alistair without guilt? She needed to know.A few hours ago, Grace approached her with a worried frown. “Sera.. my goodness! Are you okay? You’ve been locked up in the library for countless hours now... What in the goddess’s name are you looking for?”Sera gave a dry chuckle that sounded fake to even her own ears.“I’m sorry if I worried you Grace. That wasn’t my intention, I’m just trying to learn as much as possible about Mador. It has such a beautiful history that I find myself getting lost in it.” She lied easily.... She had been doing that a lot lately... Lying. She didn’t even feel bad about it, after all she
That night a nervous Sera took a deep breath, to brace herself for the scary but necessary conversation she knew she needed to have with Alistair soon. She had fucked up big time and it was time to bea big girl and own up to her mistakes.It didn’t take long for her to find him in his private library, diligently looking over some official documents. She knocked softly on the half open door and entered when he looked up, a nervous frown forming on his lips as he saw her. She couldn’t blame him. The last time she had approached him, she had attacked him with her accusations about killing her parents and ruining her life. .. After all that he had done for her, She had called him a monster. Gods she was an ungrateful brat!She cringed internally at the memory. That was most definitely not one of her best moments. "Hey," he greeted, promptly setting the papers aside and turning all his attention on her like she was the most important thing in the world. Somehow that made her feel a mill
## The early morning sunlight gently filtered through the light curtains, illuminating the room as Sera slowly stirred awake from her sweet dreams. She stretched her arms languidly and enjoyed the warm and safe feeling in Alistair's thick arms around her waist. She allowed a small smile to grace her lips as she snuggled closer to his warmth, intentionally pushing her butt into his groin.Alistair groaned and pulled her body closer against his and grinded his hips against hers. "Mmm, morning," she smiled sleepily, her eyes still half-closed. Alistair pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. "Good morning, my love," he replied. “Did you sleep well?” She huffed a laugh. “Did you even allow me to sleep?” She teases. “That’s not my fault at all. When you press your soft body against me like this, I can hardly be blamed for what I do to you.” She giggled giddily. “Let’s stay like this all day, it feels too good to get up from bed.” "Oh baby, you know hate to leave you, but I have some w
Sera stumbled back to her room, as it suddenly felt like her knees had become too weak to carry her.She tried to stop the tears that were welling up behind her eyes while also trying in vain to comfort herself.... if Alistair ever found out that she was carrying another man’s child. Her life would be ruined... that was even assuming she wasn’t murdered first. She had fucked big time!Suddenly there was a knock on the door that made her jump in fear. Had they found out and sent someone to kill her already?“No... that’s not possible. Compose yourself Sera, no one else knows yet..” She assured herself before opening the door to find a middle aged, attractive looking woman standing there. Her eyes which were still puffy from crying all morning quickly scanned her appearance and realizes with horror that this woman was a doctor.She never requested for a doctor, so what was she doing here?."Good afternoon, Your Highness," the kind- looking doctor greeted politely. "My name is doctor E
Sera quickly set out to find Alistair. She went into his study where he normally worked from during the afternoons but he wasn't there. She checked his office where she was sure he would be but he still wasn't there. She frowned in surprise. Alistair was usually pretty predictable.. If he was not in His office, then he was usually in his study. So after searching all of these places and not finding him, Sera was most definitely left confused. Where could he be? Letting out a frustrated sigh, she decided to turn around and head back to the room. But at that moment, she accidentally bumped into Grace. “Oh sorry excuse me Sera I wasn’t looking properly.” “It’s fine Grace. It was my fault, I didn’t look where I was going.” Grace nodded with a coldly formal expression ... like Sera was just a stranger or boss and started to walk away. Sera didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her that Grace was super angry with her. Grace had tried to reach out, from the goodness of her heart and Sera
Sera stumbled backwards from the window. Her knees felt weak and her body trembled with horror. She could not believe her ears. How could Alistair say those words so easily? How could he talk about her like that? What about all the promises, all the kisses, all the vows he had made to protect and cherish her? Where they all just lies? Or was this some form of miscommunication?No.... there was no miscommunication here, Sera had clearly overheard the evil things and plans Alistair had in store for her and any future children she had. He wants to hurt my child! He wants to hurt me! she realized as panic surged through her veins like a wild fire. Alistair— the man she once thought she would love for eternity now seemed like a complete stranger. How could he even be capable of such unimaginable cruelty? How had she not noticed it earlier?!He truly was a monster!“No…. I can’t stay here for one second longer.” She gasped as she stumbled away from the dark room. No one in their rig
King Alistair sat at the head of the table…his expression carefully neutral as the elders barraged him with insults about Sera, his mate. ….His fists were clenched under the table, and his inner wolf, Kane, kept growling in anger. Kane urged him to punish the elder for his disrespect and throw him out of the kingdom for daring to talk about Sera like that. How dare they?!"Calm down….Kane," Alistair whispered internally, trying to keep his composure. "We have a plan, remember? We need to gather enough information on these stupid —motherfuckers before we can make our move and take them down in one more month.”Kane grumbled in response… he was still very unhappy with the way the elders were trash talking Sera. But Alistair knew they couldn't act rashly. They needed to be patient …strategic. "As much as I want to break their fucking necks right now, we have to pretend to agree with them," Alistair reminded Kane . "They want me to hate her, if they think I do, then they will leave her
Sera looked up and saw Cedric running out the door with her sons and a pained scream tore out of her throat.She grabbed a dagger and immediately began to chase after him but Alistair grabbed her arm and yanked her back.“Let me go! He took them!” She screamed, trying to break free from Alistair’s protective grip."Stop! who took what?" He growled feeling too anxious to let her out of his sight in the middle of this dangerously bloody battle.“Cedric! He took my babies!” she cried and Alistair froze as his blood ran cold, then his eyes suddenly flashed bright deadly gold. He was hungry for blood now.“Stay here! I’ll get them back!”“No! I’m coming with you!” she yelled, following behind as he headed toward the door.“Sera! Don’t be stubborn, I said stay!”“And you would be crazy if you think that I will let you go alone!” She screamed back.Alistair glared at her and she glared right back.“Fine we don’t have time to waste, stay behind me, I’ll protect you.”Sera snorted in annoyance.
“How is your arm?” “I said don’t fucking talk to me!” I screamed Alistair remained silent for a moment but his eyes were full of pain and something that looked like guilt. “Sera please your arm is broken, I just want to help.” he said in a mournful tone. “You want to help? Sera glared at him with a heated expression. “If you want to help, you can start by telling me the fucking truth! Tell me why you cheated and lied to me? Tell me why you hurt me again and again! You can start by telling me why you dragged me into this whole mess of a fucked up relationship we have!... If you can’t even do that, then don’t say another fucking word to me!” Another tense silence followed as Alistair hung his head in shame. Sera felt her frustration grow as she watched her arm heal. She should be out there fighting that traitor, not sitting helplessly in a cell with this coward that couldn’t even answer her question. “I was 13.” Alistair mumbled. “What?” Sera snapped irritatedly. “I said I was 1
Sera awoke to a loud banging sound that was so painful that She had to cover her ears.“Wakey wakey, my loved ones. Your favorite Uncle is here to say hello or rather good bye!”Sera looked up to see Cedric grinning down at them. Alistair was still unconscious so she could guess that he was hit with a much higher dosage of wolfsbane than she was.“You son of a bitch!” She cried while trying to stumble up to her feet and lunge at him.“Ah ah ah! Not too fast angry mama bear, between two of us are highly charged electric bars that are painful enough to shock the foolishness out of your mind if you even dare to touch it.”It was then that Sera looked around to see that they had been locked in a cell underground. Thankfully, they were not tied up, but there was still nothing that they could do with their free hands because of the electric bars between them.She looked up at Cedric’s mocking face and she felt the painful stab of betrayal in her chest. This was a man she had considered to be
Cedric’s men immediately Called him when they saw Alistair and Sera Walk in to the archives. And Ben called him immediately Alistair started storming his way to see his Uncle. At first, Cedric freaked out because this was not how things were supposed to go. Everything was rushing too fast. According to his plan, Alistair wasn’t supposed to confront him until after Sera and her children were dead, and then CEDRIC would kill him and give the crown to his son Michael. The one pure blooded Lycan that wasn’t trying to contaminate his bloodline with werewolves, even though that witch named Sera tried to deceive and seduce him a couple of times. Luckily his son was saved each time. He quickly rushed up rushed up to his office and positioned himself to look like he’d been working, he didn’t know what Alistair had discovered and was coming to ask him, but it probably wasn’t that bad or else he would have his army behind him. Cedric quickly took out a few religious texts and pretended to be
“Alistair.” She gasped, then she remembered that she was naked and rushed to cover herself. Alistair’s already dark eyes became even darker as his eyes roved her body. She felt her skin tingle at any point that his eyes touched, it was like he was touching her with just his eyes. “Alistair, what are you doing?!” She exclaimed while trying hard to hide her shame. “It’s my bath house, I like to come here sometimes.” He stated matter of factly. Suddenly Sera remembered once, long ago when she first arrived, Grace had told her that he came here sometimes. “But I’ve never seen you here before! Are you following me?” Alistair just shot her a lazy smirk. “I always come here when everyone leaves so it looks like you’re the one following me.” Well Sera couldn’t really argue with that statement so she just stood there, frozen and unsure of what to do. Finally Alistair sighed and looked at her again. “Are you just going to stand there all night or are you gonna get in the water?” Sera he
“Eve, wait don’t do it!” Sera scolded, but Eve was already getting up on her feet, with her gave completely set on Silas.“Silas step back! This is the kings fiancée!” Sera screeched again but Silas seemed to be deaf as his nose flared to breathe in the scent of the woman standing in front of him.“Mate!” He growled as he took a step forward towards Eve and Sera immediately jumped between them.“Eve! We were just talking about this! No cheating on your partner remember?!”“Sera,” Eve warned with clenched teeth. “Step away from my mate.” Sera saw Eve’s eyes glow dangerously and she immediately moved out of the way. There was no way on earth, that she was going to fight off a Lycan who had just seen her mate. That would be a death sentence because mates could literally fight you to the death for their mate.Silas immediately pulled Eve into his arms and Eve gasped in pleasure as her body touched his. Their mating biology was obviously already urging them to mate and complete their bond
“I FUCKING KNEW THAT YOU COULDN’T KEEP YOUR SLUTTY HANDS AWAY FROM MY MAN!” Eve screeched and Alistair winced.“Eve calm down.” He said but Eve just brushed past him to stand in front of Sera."I knew that you were a lowlife werewolf Sera, but I never thought you would stoop so low as to seduce another woman’s husband. Your shameless desperation truly knows no bounds."Alistair's jaw tightened as he felt a surge of protective anger on Sera's behalf. He stepped forward and held Eve back while Sera recovered from the shock.“I said stop it Eve!” He growled but Eve was past listening to anything."You’re right, Eve, I don’t want anything to do with a man engaged to another. But don’t you think it’s more shameful that you keep on fighting for a man that doesn’t ever fight for you? Or are you so unlovable that no one can even try to want you?."Eve freezes and her shoulders slump in defeat, but her eyes suddenly turn colder and she sneers at her."Watch yourself, Sera. Even the king can no
“Alistair? You asked to see me?” Sera finally said as she walked in.Alistair slowly raised his head and froze. Dear goddess she was beautiful! Had she always been this beautiful? “Ahem, Alistair?” she said in an amused tone, finally snapping him out of his trance.He quickly shook his head to disperse the thoughts of how curvy her hips looked in her jumpsuit.“Ahh yes. Please come in and have a seat.” He muttered while trying to avoid her eyes.Sera smiled to herself, She knew what she was doing, she had intentionally worn that outfit Because she knew how good it looked on her, what she had actually not realized how much of an effect it will have on him.Sarah should have felt Ashamed to admit it, but watching him sweat because of her, since delicious tingles racing down her spine. “Alistair, you mentioned that you had something important to discuss with me?.” she prompted when he didn't meet her eyes for a few moments."Yes, of course, Sera. I've been giving this a lot of thought.
In a dimly lit room hidden deep underground the castle, an ominous man clad in dark robes paced furiously. His fists were so tightened that his nails began to puncture his skin but he couldn't feel the pain because of the hot anger that was burning inside him.Everywhere he turned, his huge warriors shrunk from him as no one was dumb enough to be in his line of sight. But they didn’t need to bother hiding because he was so angry that he would literally chase them down and skin them alive if he wanted to.... yea, he was in that kind of mood. On the left side of him were a group of fierce looking warriors standing in a straight line. They all towered over him and were probably double his weight size too..... but all their heads were bowed in submission, and their bodies were shaking with fear. "You stupid. Godforsaken. Sons of bitches!” The man finally roared. “You have dared to fail me once again! I gave you one job! One small job and you fucked up!" the man bellowed and his voice ec
