[Seraphine's POV]"The ritual that sacrificed me, I want to know if it has managed to save you."In my uncomfortable sitting position beside him, on this cold bed, my mouth remained tightly shut.Cassian sat beside me, but my eyes kept wanting to roll to the left, as if avoiding his gaze. The presence of Doctor Tiffany in front of us didn't provide any help.The omega doctor's duty was done. What remained was for me to fulfill my promise to Cassian. To reveal all the secrets I had hidden. Including the secrets of the Maximilian family that I had known all along."You saved me, Cassian," I reluctantly uttered what I didn't want to say."Thank you. If it weren't for you, perhaps both me and this baby would have died," I continued.Then I heard Cassian exhale deeply, as if he had been relieved of his fatigue."I'm grateful. I'm so relieved to hear that," he said. Then he turned his attention to Tiffany, who was in front of us."Tiffany, you haven't explained the condition of the baby in

[Seraphine's POV]"To prevent something like this from happening again, as a doctor, I advise you to start managing your stress from now on. Because if not, the pain that might occur later could be worse than this."Her words squeezed something within me. I bit my lip as a form of deep surprise and shock. Slowly, I began to hear the sound of the room's door being opened from the outside.Cassian, he seemed to realize that our examination had reached its conclusion. Tiffany stepped forward to face him. They conversed, while I still lay on this bed.I really wanted to escape from this place and not talk to Cassian again. I was sure that after he asked Tiffany many questions, it would be my turn to be scolded thoroughly by him."Seraphine."My pronunciation was correct, right? Tiffany was still around us, and she immediately called my name. As if I were a royal prisoner awaiting execution."How's your condition?"I heard her asking. Her cold body temperature felt like it was sticking to

[Seraphine's POV]"Cassian. Let me emphasize one thing to you. This baby has no connection whatsoever to you or our agreement. Once my task is complete, you must fulfill your promise to let me meet my parents. After that, the baby and I will leave.""What?" Cassian sounded so surprised by what I had just said.I decided to close my eyes and ears, ignoring anything Cassian was throwing at me.I chose to tell him as early as possible, to avoid conflicts later on. I wanted him to understand my reluctance to share with this baby.'This is my baby. And I got it by accident. Cassian and his family certainly have no right to claim it,' I thought to myself.I moved closer to him so that he could reflect on my fiery irises. There, I made sure Cassian could feel the seriousness of my words right now through my gaze. He would be foolish not to understand what I meant by this.I lowered my voice in front of him, making sure Cassian paid even more attention to me than before."Indeed, Cassian. Thi

[Seraphine's POV]"I had a feeling. You're not an ordinary Omega, Miss."Jesse's statement once again didn't fit the list of suspicions I had anticipated.He remained calm, no traces of doubt or disappointment in his eyes as he silently gazed at my face. Unlike me, I seemed uncomfortable with our standing position being so close.Not to mention, I had already been caught in the act here. But wait. It's not impossible that Jesse had known my secret all along but chose to remain silent. True, isn't it?It's plausible that Jesse possesses some sort of power that can detect magical energy around him. If that's the case, he shouldn't have been overly anxious when he saw me fighting against Riana that time.Because I am the last Omega who is a descendant of Luna."Miss Seraphine, come. I'll escort you to wherever you want to go.""What?" I looked up in surprise after receiving his second response."Go? Where? Wait, Jesse. So, this is what you meant by wanting to talk face-to-face with me ea

[Seraphine's POV]Not answering and not rejecting either.Not nodding in agreement either.After my statement was uttered, all I got was this horse-drawn carriage starting to move along the road. The golden horse propelled both of us, creating a pull from the wheels that defied gravity.Inside the carriage, I sat alone in silence. Observing something that felt familiar, like the first time Jesse had just met me.‘Is it just my feeling, or does Jesse seem to be reverting to his original self?’ I thought, suddenly feeling anxious.‘Oh, it can't be. He couldn't possibly find it strange when I asked to return to Silverbrook Haven village, right? It's a village so close to the Cassian Kingdom. It shouldn't be an issue for him.’Although I thought so, discomfort about Jesse's response, which seemed so odd to me, lingered in my mind.Throughout our journey, all I could do was dwell on negative thoughts. Unfortunately, I realized something too late.That the reason behind Jesse's cold demeano
