SERAPHINAThe cold night air bit gently into my skin, but it couldn’t stop the strange tightness rising inside me listening to Grace. Now the sadness in her eyes when I had pulled her away from Ryker made sense. She was not frustrated because she could not flirt with him, instead she was sad because the man she loved did not react to her hugging Ryker. Now I could clearly feel her anger, the disappointment and helplessness. She was in pain. The pain from being ignored. The pain of love. At this point even my heart hurts to see the real Grace.“Can a man really be worth putting your reputation on the line?” I asked before I could stop myself and unknown to me four men had been listening to me without making it obvious. Grace pursed her lips without meeting my gaze as she replied softly, “Yes, I have chased after him in my entire youth. “I’ve put ten years of my life into desiring him. I have even saved my virginity just for him. No matter what, I will wait for him until I grow old an

SERAPHINA“What’s wrong?” Ronan rushed back to me. I shook my head and quickly stood up to find the clearing pulsed with shock and disbelief as a rogue dove over the waterfall's edge with Grace in his arms. He vanished into the night-mist below. “No…” I clenched my fists. I could only stare, numb, disbelieving. Everything in me screamed as I failed to act in time. More than that, Alpha Jude and Alpha Gideon’s state was alarming. “GRACE!!!” Alpha Gideon’s roar tore through the air.Chaos shattered the stillness.“WHAT THE HELL?!”“HOW DID A ROGUE GET IN HERE?!”“DID HE CLIMB UP THE WATERFALL?!”Alphas exploded into motion, some running to the edge, others shifting in place, wolves snarling in panic. However, no one, not a single soul, was more explosive than Alpha Jude.“GRACE!!!” her name was torn from his throat, ragged and filled with agony.He launched himself toward the edge of the waterfall but the moment he neared it, his body slammed against something invisible. Something p

SERAPHINAOne hundred meters.That was the distance between me and the infamous Nightshade Alley, the underground werewolf brothel where rogues ruled. The air was thick with smoke and something far more sinister. I stood beneath the cover of gnarled trees, as I stared at the sickening glow spilling from the alley like blood from a fresh wound.Luckily, I wasn’t alone.Ronan stood to my right, arms crossed, with no emotions in his eyes. Ryker on my left with a cold look in his eyes like usual. Finn adjusted the collar of his shirt, eyes flickering from shadow to shadow, and Asher stood slightly apart, focused, calculating. The four most dangerous Alphas in the Academy and they were here with me.I glanced at them again, still trying to understand how this happened.Getting here hadn’t been simple. Nightshade Alley was far beyond the Lupine Academy’s territory, and this mission that had become a trial wasn’t exactly written into any rulebook. This time there were no rules, no timeline.

RONANIt worked. Our twisted little drama, Ryker’s rage, my possessive jealousy, Finn’s whimpering heartbreak, Asher’s Provocateur, it all served its purpose. The brothel owner took the bait. He chose Seraphina, now veiled and trembling, thinking he’d found the perfect dollboy. So just like that, the spotlight shifted. While all eyes remained on her, we vanished into the shadows. Cut from their view. Out of their reach. Finally inside the Sinspire Brothel. Now Finn, Asher, and I could move, truly move, through this hellhole unseen. The real game began the moment Seraphina was taken. Every second counted, what we were chasing wasn’t just Grace anymore, it was time. That meant we were already losing it. Leaving that room behind, we strode in the hallway of the brothel. “We are splitting up,” I stated. Asher nodded, already turning to the right side of the hallway. “Three floors each. Nine floors total. If she’s here, we’ll find her.” Finn turned to the left saying, “Let’s meet right

SERAPHINA “Grace doesn’t seem to be here,” he murmured, his voice growing quieter, serious.I followed his gaze toward the she-wolves being auctioned off one by one, trembling in the arms of the highest bidders. Yet most of their eyes were still fixed on me.My skin crawled under the sheer veil.Still I didn’t look away from that velvet curtain.We hadn’t come this far for nothing.Tonight’s auction was nearing its end, and Grace had not appeared.My fists clenched tightly in my lap. “How come she’s not here?” I whispered, just as static flickered in my earpiece, “That means she has to be on the floors that Ronan, Asher and Finn are checking.” Asher’s voice filtered in first, “Nothing. We checked every room. She's not here.”Then Finn, “Same. No sign of her on my floors.”I stiffened. How was this possible? Was Grace really not here?Ryker and I exchanged a look.Before either of us could speak, the brothel owner approached again, a smug curl on his lips. “So, shall we make that dea
