Introduction

"Is my Seraphina afraid of me? "

She pressed her shivering naked body more against the wall to prevent getting touched by the bare skin of the owner of that raspily husky voice .

"So you don't want me to touch you? But you had no problem getting touched by him, Seraphina? "

Her eyes filled with tears hearing his words because her mind immediately recalled the face of her friend and how brutally he had killed him.

"Then why are you afraid of getting touched by me, Princess?"

She unlatched her lashes and immediately tried to free herself from him but her body turned into ice when he pinned her wrists against the wall and pressed his drenched body against her.

"Hadn't I fucking warned you to stay away from him? But no, my little princess wanted to defy me? And look, her defiance made me to take another life, "
A soul quivering smirk crept on his lips by watching the terror emerging into her alluring azure eyes .

"So ,I guess now we have to make her obey me and for that, I have a very precious way to teach her, " His hand roamed over her naked skin.

"A forbidden way which will hurt my princess a lot, " He squeezed her soft bosoms, making her whimper.

"But the more pain she will feel, the more pleasure she is going to get through that way, " He chuckled when he found her struggling, like a little afraid kitten.

"The more you will fight it, the more it's going to hurt, Princess," His hand went down to her lower abdomen

And her blood drenched from her body when he gently grazed his knuckles against her pelvic line .

"You're mine," His hand went down more to taint her purity.

"You belong to Arzal Darius Grayson, Sera."

Chapter 1

"Let me see him for once. I really need to talk to him, " 

"Sir is not here ,so please leave, Ms. ." 

"No, I know he's here. Let me meet him. " 

The argument at the door continued which gained the attention of a certain pair of emerald green eyes. 

"What's happening there? " Those eyes remained glued at the door where the woman and the guards were still quarrelling . 

"She's Lia Campbell and wants to meet Mr Grayson, " 

Those green eyes filled with curiosity at the answer and then they trailed towards the owner of that voice where they fell on the lowered head of that person. 

"And why does she want to meet him? " 

That person didn't dare to take his eyes upward and looked into those green eyes. 

"She had met Mr. Grayson last month at one of his business events and now she's claiming that she's pregnant with his child , " That man answered , still looking down. 

The amusement left from those emerald eyes and got replaced with venom after hearing his reply. 

"Does he know about her pregnancy? "

"No. Mr Grayson knows nothing about this and I think he doesn't even remember her name because he had met her only once at that night and this woman might be lying about being pregnant with his child , " 

His words made a wave of satisfaction emerge into those green eyes which turned towards the door again and started gazing at that woman who was still arguing with the guards at the door. 

"So she was his one night stand but now she wants to get attached with his name permanently, " 

That man wordlessly heard those words escaping from that mouth which stretched into a vicious grin while staring at that woman at the door. 

"Kill her, " 

That man finally snapped his head upward and looked at those emerald eyes shocked after hearing those words. 

"But she can be pregnant with his child. We're not sure… "

"That's why it's necessary for her to die, Albert, " Albert's words got halted

"Because we don't know whether she's lying or not and if she is telling the truth , she has to die because… " Those emerald eyes again travelled towards that woman

"He will never abandon his own child , no matter what, "

Albert silently heard those words and just witnessed that venomous cruelty playing in that emerald gaze. 

Those eyes trailed at Albert again 

"And child means family. Family means love and there should be no place for love in his life, " 

Albert became startled processing the brutal intention behind those words but it didn't surprise him because he wasn't witnessing it for the first time. 

"So she has to die and you will kill her before she reaches him, Albert. " Those emerald eyes filled with amusement when Albert hung his head low and just nodded his head in approval. 

A nefarious smirk crept on the face of the owner of those emerald orbs which again fell on that woman at the door and peered at her with a deadly amount of viciousness

"Because Arzal is not made to love ,anything or anyone, "


"And my Sephi is made to love everyone , right? " 

Those beautiful azure blue eyes gleamed up hearing those words and started shining ,like the rays of sun had fallen on the waves of the ocean . 

An alluring smile crept on those tiny plumpy soft petals like lips which made her slightly chubby cheeks turn more fluffy . Her dimples added more to her endearing innocuousness . 

But her beautiful smile got replaced by a tiny pout when she saw him extending the spoon of soup to her mouth. Her tiny button nose, which looked more enchanting because of her little silver nose pin, crunched up in distaste. 

"No, my tummy gets full , Nate, " She shrugged her head in denial and lightly pushed the spoon away. 

"Sephi, finish this. Your doctor has strictly instructed you to drink this soup. You still have fever, so finish it and then I'll give you your medicines, " 

"No, Nate. Please, my tummy is full. I'll puke if a single drop of soup gets inside my tummy anymore, " Her soft voice denied him which made him give her an angry glare which she knew was fake. 

"Sephi, " 

"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee, " She gave him her adorably cute puppy eyes while singing her please , making him chuckled. 

He dropped the spoon on the bowl of soup and then placed the tray on the cabinet beside the bed . He gently squeezed her soft pale cheeks which had a natural blush, turning it more pink and then he kissed her forehead amiably. 

"Now how can I say no to my angel, " 

Her heart warmed up at his beautiful words and gestures. 

"Okay, now here. Take your medicine, " He uttered, extending the medicine and glass of water to her. 

She took them from him and then took her medicine. 

"Thank you, " 

He smiled hearing her and then took back the glass from her. 

"Nate, now go and prepare for your interview. I am completely fine, " She said, earning a heavy sigh from him. 

"Interview can wait but not your health, Sephi, " He replied while taking out the thermometer from the drawer and then putting it inside her mouth. 

After waiting for the necessary time , he took out the thermometer from her mouth and then checked it. His gaze tensed up by reading her body temperature rate. 

"You still have high fever, Seraphina , " 

She knew it , he always called her by her full name whenever he became very worried and tensed about her. 

"How much? " She asked 

"99.2 degrees Fahrenheit, " 

She was stunned hearing his answer but not surprised because she knew her brother really very well and how his behaviour towards her. 

"Mr Nathan Aaron Miller, this body temperature is quite normal. I have a very very light fever , " She got up on her knees on the bed and cupped her tiny waist with both her hands and showed him her cute angry eyes. 

He immediately covered her with the duvet and then carefully laid her back on the bed. 

"The point is you have fever which you should not have and from now on you're getting no ice cream till your 19th birthday, Seraphina Aries Miller, " 

Her eyes widened hearing his threat. She pushed the duvet and spoke

"You cannot do this injustice to me, Naty, " 

"Oh.. Then watch me doing it, Sephi, " He said, tugging the duvet again on her body. 

She sent him a tiny glare and flare her nostrils . 

"There's still 2 months left for my 19th birthday . How am I supposed to survive without ice cream? "

"The answer is very simple, Miss Sephi. Through oxygen and eating healthy, nutritious, homemade food, " He answered her by giving her his innocent smile while tying her silky soft long brown hairs in a loose bun. 

"So be a good girl and enjoy the ban on ice cream , " 

She pouted at his words , making him smile and then pecked her temple lightly. 

"Fine , we will try to add some liberty to my restriction on ice cream but not before you become completely fine and healthy again, so now deal? " He spoke, extending his palm to her. 

She giggled by watching him and then clutched his hand. 

"Deal done, Mr Miller. "

He beamed and caressed her head. 

"Okay now sleep for a while because I have informed your teacher that you're still not well and won't be able to come to school today also , " 

She heard him saying while he was massaging her head softly, earning a sweet smile from her in return. 

"Now close your eyes and sleep. I'll make something tasty and healthy for your lunch , " 

Hearing his words, she opened her eyes because something struck her mind . 

"Nate, but what about your interview? "

His lips stretched into a thin smile hearing her and by watching the worry in her beautiful baby blue eyes. 

"You don't have to worry about it all, Sephi. My job is good and my promotion can wait but I can't compromise with your health, angel, " 

She held his hand which was massaging her head. She got up and sat on the bed and cupped his palm. 

"I am fine, Nate. Completely fine. So please go and give your interview , " She spoke with her melodiously tender voice while looking into his light hazel eyes pleadingly because she knew how much excited he was for his promotion. He had gotten this opportunity after working hard, day and night, for more than 5 years. 

But after she fell ill, he completely dropped his attention from his interview and gave his full attention to her and her health because she knew she was his priority. Her safety, her happiness, every single thing related to her was more relevant to him than his own life because they both were each other's everything, each other's only loved ones, each other's best friend and each other's only family after they lost their parents. 

"Naty, please. Please my angel, go for your interview, please, please, please, " She requested and he laughed when he heard her calling him angel. 

"But Sephi, "

"No, you're going for your interview today and that's it, " She finalised it and crossed her arms against her chest. 

He sighed firmly and cupped her cheeks. 

"Seraphina , you know you're my everything, my angel and I love you more than anything and anyone, so this job's promotion is my least concern. I can't leave you alone like this when you're ill , " 

Her heart fluttered at his beautiful words and by watching the enormous amount of love and care in her brother's eyes for her. Her overly sensitive nature made her blue eyes fill with shimmering tears. 

She hugged him tightly and buried her face in his chest and got that ethereal calmness a child needs from her parents because he was her mother, he was her father, he was her guardian. He was her entire world. 

He caged her back and started sliding his palm over her head in a comforting manner because he was completely familiar with her highly sensitive and tender nature. 

"And now what makes my beautiful Sephi cry ? " 

She didn't reply but just continued to hug him which made him take out her face from his chest and his heart ached by watching her cheeks and nose which had turned red and her shiny tears were silently rolling down from her cheeks. 

He wiped her tears delicately. 

"Ssh… now stop crying or else your head will start to ache and I will make another big bowl of that soup and you have to eat it, " 

Hearing him, she whined and again embraced him. 

"Naty, go for your interview, please. Like my happiness means everything to you, your happiness also means everything to me and I know how happy you were for this promotion, " She spoke and then withdrew her head from his chest. 

She gazed into his eyes and again held both of his palms. 

"You have always ignored your wishes and happiness for me and my happiness from the day when ma..mamma and p…papa… " Her voice started breaking because it was painful for her to even speak. 

His eyes also glistened by watching the extreme amount of pain in her gaze because he was at least aged enough to understand things when they both lost their parents but she was just a mere kid and that thing had terribly affected her ,both her heart and mind . 

He himself was 28 but his care , responsibility and love towards his little sister had made him mature at the mere age of 18 when she was just 8 years old. 

"Naty, please give this interview. If not for you then for me, please because if you get promoted which I know my Naty will because his hard work deserves it , then I will distribute chocolates in my class and will give some chocolates to our neighbour aunty Emma and then we will party and I'll get to eat my ice cream, " 

He chuckled with tears in his eyes hearing her and that how she was, who was capable of making a crying person smile with her innocuous and virtuous talks, smile and behaviour and he was grateful and blessed to call that beautiful little human who had an even beautiful heart as his sister and his entire support system and his only reason to live his life happily. 

He wiped her tears stained cheeks and kissed her forehead. 

"Fine, I am going, " 

Her eyes lightened up in happiness  

"But I have a condition for that, Sephi. You will take care of yourself till I don't come back from my interview and you will immediately call me even if you feel a slight headache, okay? " 

She immediately nodded her head in agreement with a smile, making him beamed too. 

"So first I'll make your lunch and then … "

"No, no, " She immediately got up from the bed and stood on the ground. 

"Let's go, I'll help you in gettin

g ready for your interview. You are beautiful but you need to look more beautiful, Naty. "

He laughed at her words and before he could say anything, she held his hand and started dragging him out of her room.

I woke up three years into a marriage I barely remembered—pregnant with twins that weren't my husband's.

Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.

Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

The Rejected Luna’s Rise

The Rejected Luna’s Rise

They were already married for three years when Alpha Damian Zeus’s long-lost first love, Lily, returned bringing along a five-year-old pup.

Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."

He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"

So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.

The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."

Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.

Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."

Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.

When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."

But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."
