Later that evening Sera stepped out of her room and saw her friend Cedric making his way towards her. At first Sera frowned at him then she paused and frowned at him.... he looked off... stiff and different.There was a smile on his face but it looked.... fake like he was forcing himself to smile at her. Before she had time to calculate her thoughts.... he was infront of her."Sera, my dear Luna," Cedric greeted and immediately pulled her into a warm hug that caught her by suprise. "Congratulations to you and Alistair. May your bond be strong and your happiness last forever." Sera tried hard to shake her suspicious thoughts away... maybe she was imagining things but even his words felt forced like he was reading out rehearsed lines that someone forced him to say.But she still smiled at him. "Thank you, Cedric," she replied,“You once said that I’m like a daughter to you, well now we’ll actually be truly family! Yayy! I’m so excited!” She squealed in honest excitement.Cedric still h
“Do I have to go again today?” Sera groaned before burying her head in the pillow.Alistair chuckled at her. “Yes you do, as the mate of the king, you’re supposed to learn everything there is to learn about my kingdoms history. Now get up, Cedric and Grace are already waiting to teach you your next class.”Sera groaned again but didn’t get up from the bed. “Sera...” Alistair growled in warning.She was lying face down on the bed and the delicious curve of her butt was beckoning him to just forget his plans for the day and jump back in bed with her.Sera heard the growl in Alistair’s throat and stiffened. She whirled around to look at him with narrowed eyes.“No Alistair, we aren’t doing that again.”Alistair pretended to look innocent. “Doing what?”Sera blushed because she knew that Alistair would continue to play dumb until she was forced to say the words.“We aren’t going to-to have sex again. We did it 3 times already last night!” She admitted out loud with a mountain of embarrassm
Later that night, Sera made her way to the shower but not before noticing that Alistair had reached for another bottle of wine.Was everything ok? She had never seen him drink like that before.“Alistair?” She called out.“Hmmm?” He didn’t look at her last he filled his glass to the brim.“Are you okay? I’ve never seen you drink so much.”Alistair looked up and shot her a grin. “I’m perfectly fine baby girl. Just had a long day.”“Oh? Do you want to talk about it?” She asked with a worried frown but hue just shook his head dismissively.“It’s nothing, just feeling a little tired from dealing with boring old men with their paranoia... but that’s all in the past. How was your day?”Sera smiled back in relief. Her mate was fine. “It was good, I’m having more than I expected while learning your history. I still can’t believe you were able to design create a poison so toxic that it causes famine! That’s pretty dangerous... and freaking genius!” Alistairs eyes lit up at the pride in her vo
Sera entered her room with the hope of finding a quiet place to think but she unfortunately found Grace folding bedsheets there.She quickly tried to school her features and pretend that everything was fine but Grace who was always attentive to the emotions of her friend immediately noticed that something was off.Concern etched across Grace's face as she approached Sera."Dear goddess Sera what happened?.... is something bothering you? Is the king ok? Are YOU Okay? What's the matter?" Grace asked, her voice filled with genuine worry.Sera tried to brush off her friends concerns with a forced fake smile. "Oh.... don’t mind me, it's nothing Grace. Just a lot on my mind, that's all."Grace's eyes narrowed at Sera, her expression showing that she didn’t believe her friends lie one bit. "Come on, Sera. You should know by now that can't fool me. What's troubling you? You know you can talk to me."Sera hesitated for a moment, struggling with her confusing and contradicting thoughts. On one
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 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
