Seraphina and Kieran: The Werewolf Mate Novel

She stared at me for one long second before she laughed, dry and sharp. “Cinnamon raspberry is Celeste’s favorite, Ethan.” I blinked. “No, that can’t be right-“ “That the only person whose tastes mattered to Mom was Celeste?” She shrugged. “Sounds about right to me.” She scoffed. “I can’t fucking believe her.” I exhaled. “It…

I eyed the cup of coffee wistfully. “Thanks, but I can’t. I’m going to the Moon Hall.” “Ah,” Maya nodded in understanding, withdrawing her hand. “Caffeine and yoga do not go together.” “So,” she started, her tone dancing with something… teasing. “OTS has been buzzing with some gossip since your birthday party.” I raised an…

She was here. Somewhere just beyond the veil. Within reach. place I couldn’t yet reach. The air between us was heavy, thick like fog. I felt that vibration again, a movement. Each step she took sent a ripple through me. She wasn’t charging toward me. She didn’t leap with joy or relief. She hesitated. Wary.…

He knew her. But I didn’t. My brain scrambled. I’d never felt anything like this. Never heard that frequency, that tone. Never smelled that exact scent-warm vanilla and sandalwood, the edge of something wild, yet fragile. But Ashar… He knew. His voice was pure certainty. “Mine.” I stopped in front of a closed door I…

Kieran’s already made his choice. I’m his Luna.” “Congrats,” Maya said coolly. “What a world-altering achievement. You must be so proud. Would…

I smirked and turned to leave. There was no way in hell I could focus on car shopping when he was in the vicinity, within reach. “See you in a week, stud. Let’s see what you’re made of.” *** CELESTE’S POV Emma wouldn’t stop checking the mirror in her compact. I didn’t blame her. I’d…

I blinked, surprised. There was no smugness in his voice, no challenge. Just…an offer. I don’t know why I said yes. Maybe I wanted to feel like I still had some kind of control. Maybe I wanted to size him up. Or maybe I just didn’t want to go home-back to my thoughts. We ended…
