A fate worse than death

Chapter 21A fate worse than death(Seraphine’s POV)Jess tore through her own skin with her nails, then snatched my hand. I jerked my arm away, but she was fast. The beads of red blood on her new wound were smeared across my finger tips. She messed up her hair, pulled out strands and shoved them into my other palm. “Jess! What the hell are you doing?!” I shouted, eyes wide in disbelief. She kept screaming until her voice faded into gasping whimpers. There were actual tears on her cheeks! I didn’t understand what was happening but I tried to fight off fear. I tried to reason with myself. I had called Jess out and asked her what she really was. Now Jess was trying to trap me. Renrik and Kenton returned as quickly as they’d promised. Both of them as their wolves. Jess ran to Renrik, sobbing hysterically. “Ren! Sera- she- she hurt me!” Jess thrust her arm right under his nose and Renrik bared his fangs. “I know she is supposed to be your mate, but I found out the truth.”“The truth?

Weighted Decision

Chapter 22Weighted Decision(Seraphine’s POV) We walked in silence. In the end, I decided to let Jezebel go free. My time as a Hellhound only saw me threaten and terrify people. I didn’t kill them. When Valefar wanted someone dead, he took a different wolf with him. In a weird, messed up way, I think he was shielding me from performing real violence. Or maybe that was all part of his strategic game of manipulation. If he had made me kill in the past, maybe I would have responded to Jess’ - Jezebel’s - betrayal differently. Perhaps I would have taken joy in personally ending her life, seeing the light snuff out of those pretty pink eyes…Ugh.I couldn’t stomach imagining it. I didn’t want Renrik to rip her throat out. Kenton and Renrik saw a lowly demon preying on mortals. I saw a person who didn’t ask to exist. I had grown up with imps and demonic creatures as my friends and acquaintances for the majority of my life. It might sound strange to anyone from the Surface, but demons ar

Ch. 23 On Watch

Chapter 23On Watch(Seraphine’s POV)I noticed he was in his human form. Not the most efficient for sentry duty, but I wasn’t going to pick a fight. Renrik must have had his reasons for it. “Can I sit with you?” I asked.His head turned to me. Starlight illuminated his face. “Yeah-” but his voice was swallowed up by mine when I let out a large gasp. “Your eye!” Renrik had taken off his bandage. I dropped down next to him, grinning like an idiot. “It’s healed!”“Mm,” he hummed, voice gruff. “My sight is still a bit blurry.” And he turned away, apparently shy about his uncovered injury.“But it looks a whole lot better. You’ll probably be able to see out of it properly when you’ve completely healed.” I beamed. “Yeah, probably. At least you don’t have to worry about falling in love with a blind guy.” Renrik muttered and my mood suddenly plummeted. “Being blind wouldn’t stop me from loving someone - but crappy outlooks like that will.”Something in Renrik’s expression cracked. The al

Ch. 24 Death of Celesta - Part 1

Chapter 24Death of Celesta - Part 1(Tornik Duskborne’s POV)15 Years Ago.Genocide. That was what awaited our neighbours, the Celesta pack. Their Alpha had already sent word with a scrawny cub that a Duke of Hell was attacking packs nearby. They wanted help defending themselves. I couldn’t fathom why a filthy Hell-spawn would want to pick fights with our kind, but I investigated their claim regardless. My eldest son, Renrik, wanted to be the scout for the mission, but I shut him down. He was still too young and far too eager for bloodshed if you ask me. A boy should be a boy, not a warrior. If I ever came out and said that to the other wolves, I would be attacked for being too soft, but I stand by my view.I sent my second in command, Himmel, to gather intel. He returned with a scorched paw and confirmation that a demon really did walk the mortal plane, snatching wolves to enslave them. Murdering Alphas and wiping out entire bloodlines if they dared to confront him. Veilrend was

Ch. 25 Death of Celesta - Part 2

Chapter 25Death of Celesta - Part 2(Zavian’s POV)“Yes, my little Seraphine?” I picked up my little girl, lifting her high before dropping her into a warm cuddle against my chest. Her cute giggle lightened my heart for a moment. A good Alpha would never sacrifice his entire pack to save his own daughter, but Goddess forgive me, I’d choose Seraphine every time! “Food, please?” “Hm? Has Granny not fed you yet?” I felt Tornik watching us. Time was of the essence, but I’d use Seraphine to buy me a little more space to think. “Actually, where is that old bag? She should be watching you.” “Daddy! Granny not an old bag. She’s your Mommy!” She puffed out her chubby cheeks defiantly. I gave a sheepish grin in response, pretending I was sorry for such disrespectful words!“You’re right, you’re right. I should be kind to the old ba- GRANNY.” I won another giggle from my moonbeam and gently placed her back on the ground. “I’ll get you breakfast after I finish talking to Alpha Duskborne.” I g

Ch. 26 Truth

Chapter 26Truth(Seraphine’s POV)Present Day“So, your father was trying to help my pack?” I pinched the bridge of my nose, not knowing what to believe. Diana’s story had been the complete opposite, but how would she know the truth anyway? Valefar was the kind of devil to spin a web of lies, especially if it painted wolves in a weak or bad light.“Yeah,” Renrik swallowed. He must have missed his father dearly, whereas I couldn’t even remember my parents. Anything from the surface had long faded into obscurity. “After the night of merriment with my dad and my brother, he kept his word and left at dawn. I never saw him alive after that.“I thought the ritual had been successful. My dad told me he was going off to die and he never came back. Why would I think he failed?”“I’m so, so sorry for your loss.”“He died a noble death.” We had a moment of silence for the dead. I had built up such a horrid image of his father in my mind and I felt ashamed at myself for letting rumours sculpt m

Ch. 27 Welcome to Veilrend

Chapter 27Welcome to Veilrend(Seraphine POV) Finally… FINALLY I got to see a real pack. I expected Veilrend to have a white, veil-like dome draped over it, but it didn’t. The place looked like an old village with an ancient stone wall framing its borders. I admit, I was a little disappointed to find out the protective barrier was invisible. “Ah, home sweet home,” Kenton beamed. “After you, Seraphine.” Renrik gestured to the main entrance into town. “A real pack. A real community with just wolves.” My voice trembled and my legs were frozen. I didn’t know what to expect and I never dreamed I’d set foot in another pack. Especially one neighbouring the graveyard of my own origins. I nervously glanced at Renrik. “I… I don’t know what to do. What’s the etiquette?” “I’ll introduce you,” he assured me, as he bowed his head in greeting to the man and woman approaching us. “My brother and his fiancée are coming, so let’s go.” With one deep breath, I stepped into Veilrend. Again, I was

Ch. 28 The Alpha?

Chapter 28The Alpha?(Renrik’s POV)I didn’t want to let Seraphine out of my sight, but I was too tired to battle Yvonne for custody of her. Besides, I didn’t want to be seen as one of those controlling men whose Luna daren’t breathe without his permission. It was important for Seraphine to get a medical checkup. Goddess knows if she’d ever been seen by a real fucking physician before. And having another female around her, one we could actually trust, who wasn’t some wretched succubus, would probably give Seraphine space to express and explore her emotions. I had tried hard to be open and lend her a listening ear, but I know I’m shit at it. Finding the scarce right words to say to a woman, when there’s millions of wrong ones; it’s an impossible task. Even the Alpha of all Alphas would struggle to answer a woman correctly. Thoughts of Seraphine reluctantly faded into the back of my mind as I marched through the village towards the Duskborne home.Whenever I left the pack on busines

Ch. 29 Family

Chapter 29Family(Seraphine’s POV)I picked a pair of black pants and a neat, cream blouse. They both fit me quite well and I thought I looked rather pretty in the combination, but Yvonne pouted when I stepped out of the bathroom wearing them.“I’m too fat for that outfit now,” she huffed, gathering and folding the unpicked clothes.After words like that, my eyes were immediately drawn to her body. She didn’t look much bigger than me, but there was definitely one clear difference. “You’ve just got bigger boobs,” I pointed out.She glanced down at her chest and readjusted how her girls sat in her bar. “And a bigger ass, but that’s because I eat too much cheese.” I giggled.For a second, it felt like I was back with Amber and Diana (back before Diana became a dedicated disciple of Valefar). On top of that, despite knowing Yvonne for only an hour, I had this inexplicable urge to call her my sister. There was a strong tug on my heart, guiding me towards her. It was nothing like the co

Ch. 30 Washed Up

Chapter 30Washed Up(Renrik’s POV)I was supposed to be preparing my big speech to rally the troops, but I had put my shower off for far too long. Cleansing the stench of Hell from my skin seemed like a far better use of my time than locking myself in my bedroom and scribbling nonsense on post-it notes. No-one would have described me as the charismatic type, and my brother definitely wouldn’t have called me a planner. As much as I wanted to write some inspiring speech, it wasn’t who I was and I would just end up throwing any predetermined script out of the window anyway. I didn’t bother telling any of the domestic staff I was showering, because I was capable of grabbing my own fucking towels and soap. I didn’t enjoy having maids, but it was supposed to be an honour to serve the Alpha and his bloodline. To strip them of that honour was worse than firing or not hiring them at all. In the end, I let Roderick deal with the comings and goings of the staff.Steam swiftly filled the bath
