Seraphina’s Hidden Crown

Violet. Cold. Unforgiving. Ronan. My heart plummeted. The last person, the absolute last person I wanted to see me…saw me. The real me. Seraphina. SERAPHINA Perhaps the Goddess had taken my words too seriously during the challenge, when I’d wondered how much worse things could get. Now, I was being chased by four disgusting werewolves,…

A rogue lunged on him. But at the same time another finally noticed me. Ronan still watched. He hadn’t moved as I slowly began backing away from the snarling wolf now advancing on me. I hadn’t expected to see rogues here-hadn’t even dreamed I’d cross their path again. But tonight, they’d become my weapons. And…

I didn’t stop. With a sharp motion, I hurled the tiger to the ground. It landed with a dull, final thud-its lifeless eyes staring up at the stars, already fading with the approach of dawn. Done. I straightened, exhaling slowly, and let my gaze sweep across the clearing. It was filling now. One by one,…

Seth, covered in dirt and ash, raced from the forest with terrifying speed. But he wasn’t alone. Behind him… A stampede. A hundred wild bison thundered through the trees in his wake. “What kind of lunatic is he?!” an Alpha cried in horror. “He was supposed to bring one, not a damn army!” Technically, the…

Some stared with open surprise. Others whispered behind tankards, their glances sharp and speculative. A few…those who hated what they couldn’t predict, glared with something darker. Because I had returned. And I had won. “No one expected you to storm in just before sunrise,” Finn said, grinning. “Not with a hundred bison thundering behind you,…

SERAPHINA Alpha Asher’s jaw clenched the moment his eyes found me. The same cheek I had slapped yesterday was still faintly pink, and his glare burned like wildfire. Shit. He stepped back, his expression twisted in fury, as if he were staring at his sworn enemy. “You blind, you little bastard?” he snarled, voice low…

By the time I turned my head in confusion, it was too late. The juice had landed on my bed, soaking it and the sheets. I sat there, stunned. The Alphas gasped in mock sympathy. “Damn, that bed’s completely ruined,” one of them said. “Finn, you gotta watch your step, man! Now Seth has to…

I turned a corner and nearly ran into the dormitory assistant as he exited a room. He was quiet, always kept to himself. A plan clicked into place. Slowing my steps and steadying my breath, I approached him withcalm urgency. “Alpha Seth Darven?” I said, stopping in front of him. He blinked. “You shouldn’t be…

When I next opened them, my heart lurched. Footsteps. We passed out! Phina yelled, panicked. Morning light was already slipping into the room, and someone was approaching. I scrambled upright, my body still weak, and darted for my clothes. The pain had subsided completely, my heat was over. Phina’s voice confirmed it. She was back.…

He leaned down towards my face even more, our breath mixing andour lips dangerously close as if they might touch any second, “Yes, my room,” he whispered. SERAPHINA Yesterday, the dorm assistant had pointed out that I was in a prohibited area and I had not seen other Alphas here. That meant I was in…
