"Just drop me here to the plaza," I said meekly when we were in the town where my flat was located."I'd love to escort you to where you are living, seraphim."I froze and glared at him as I could feel my heart pounding so fast. Blood rushed to my face, frightened at his words."No, thank you, Lord Verlice," I said calmly, not wanting him to know that what he said was making me nervous. "I'd rather go there alone," I said coldly.Desmond stretched out a smirk. If I was still living with him and didn't reject our mate bond, I could have sworn that I would get to be swooned by that kind of smile he was having right now."Now, now. Do not be so cold to me, Seraphina." He leaned forward and took my hand. I felt shivers down my spine when he brought my hand to his lips. "It is not as if we did not share the same bed earlier. Hmm?" he said, teasing."Because you forced me to!" I said through gritted teeth and took back my hand."Oh?" He had an amusement smile smeared on his lips. He took my

I didn't know how long we were traveling but I only realized we had arrived at the destination if it only weren't for the carriage stopping at an establishment.Desmond was the one who got out before he turned at me and opened his palm. Glaring at his hand, I was hesitant to accept it.My attention was not on him when I looked up to see the establishment in front of me. I blinked and managed to misstep on the stairs. I almost shrieked from tripping but then Desmond was quick enough to catch me in his arms."Careful." I held onto his shoulders, almost panicking. I could even feel my heart pounding so fast because I was not quick enough to analyze the situation.Instead, I was inside my ex-husband's arms. Our bodies were pressed against each other as we looked into each other's eyes. Our lips were a few inches from touching each other.At that moment, something awakened inside me that made my blood run cold. The whisper had me petrified...'Mate.'Desmond and I gasped in unison as our e

I slept through the whole afternoon, tired from today's event. Desmond decided to go to any establishment. He even went to speak with a party decorator and even asked for my opinion.I was thinking by that time if he was preparing for Declan's birthday or his nephew, Daniel's birthday but I remembered that was impossible since the birthdays of those two were near the end of the year.I only woke up when I was already in the arms of Desmond and smelled his scent as my... mate again.I didn't know why the Moon Goddess reconnected our mate bond again but I was not happy to learn about this fact."Put me down this instant!" I said, half-embarrassed as he was going upstairs. "People are watching!" I immediately hid my face and buried it in the crook of his neck because I saw people looking on our way.That way, I came to smell the combination of orange, citrus, and cedarwood. With his scent, I could easily distinguish that he was really my mate.Desmond chuckled. "Who cares?" I shivered wh

"Thank you for allowing me to ride on your back." I curtsied before him. "And also, for treating me for a meal," I added.He transformed to his human form and looked behind which was the town plaza. "Are you certain you can go on your own?" he asked."Yes. I can handle it." I just wanted to stay away from you after making my wolf squirm and purr. I wanted to say that but I halted myself."Alright." He tucked his hands in his pockets. "Go now before I decide to follow you and know where you live." His lips curled up into a smirk.I inhaled sharply and turned my back. I stiffened when a pair of arms wrapped me from behind and smelled Desmond's distinguished scent."You are my mate again. The Moon Goddess is really fating us to be together, seraphim," he whispered darkly. "You are still mine no matter if you rejected me."I clenched my hands as I didn't say anything but I tried to remove his hold from me. "Let me go," I demanded."You are mine, Seraphina. Remember that," he said. His pos

"Lord Verlice is satisfied with your work so here is your bonus for that," Madam Ibanez said as she scoffed bitterly, bestowing me with the small brown envelope.My face brightened up as I nodded. "Thank you, madam!" I said, feeling delighted. I even bowed my head before her. Then I returned to my workstation."Someone is smiling brightly today." I smiled sheepishly when Niscia teased."Someone also received a bonus today," I teased back.I got to know that she finished the dress Desmond asked her to do. Somehow it made me feel bitter because it meant that Desmond was supposed to give it to someone. That woman was so lucky..."Shall we go out then? Take Sander with you." She nudged me as we took a five-minute break."I have plans for today. Unfortunately. We can go out on this day off if you like." It was fortunate that we had the same day of having a day off on this recent schedule.Our day offs shuffled every two weeks. I was so glad that finally, Niscia and I had the same day that
