"All these planets and stars make me hold my breath, but a glimpse of you always takes it away" ~ ~ ~ All Seraphina wanted was to successfully die at the hands of the world's most feared and powerful Lycan King, Ares Maximilian Dacre. However, she had not planned to be totally smitten by him at first glance and faint in the said person's arms. When she turns out to be his mate, the entire pack seems more than happy to welcome her, she becomes the owner of a strange stone, and the burden to save the world from destruction falls on her shoulders, she might have gained more than what she bargained for. Can Ares' love heal her broken heart and shattered soul and make her believe in love once again? ~ ~ ~ "It's not how I feel about you, but rather how I have never felt for anyone else. " ~ ~ ~ "I, Rowen, Alpha of the Hunter's Pack, reject Seraphina as my mate... " There was a pin drop silence in the hall as he proudly announced his rejection with a wide smile on his face. Pfft, this fool. Loud gasps filled the tensed air, as the most powerful person in this entire banquet came up behind me, wrapped his strong arms around my waist, and nestled his face in my neck. Shivers ran down my spine as I softly caressed his face. His authoritative stance and murderous eyes made everyone gulp in fear and shake in anticipation. "And I, Ares Maximilian Dacre, the Lycan King, claim Seraphina as my mate and promise to cherish and protect her, if anyone if so dares to look at her wrongly." His intense glare then fell on Rowen, who trembled pathetically. Oh how the tables turn!
I looked at her unconscious figure laying limp in my arms for a second, as her long silver hair unraveled from her bun and sprawled all over my hands. She was breathing so slowly, I almost thought she had died. Therefore, I broke out into a sweat of panic, hoping Max would just come as soon as possible.
"Wake up, Sera, hey, please don't die."
I gave her a light jostle and almost screamed as her head fell off my chest, thinking it had snapped off.
Ah, what is going on? What sins did I do in my past life to be punished like this?
The golden and purple energies that previously illuminated the dark cave now resided in Sera's chest, turning the whole cave pitch dark.
What was even more weird was the fact I could not use my ability, no matter how hard I tried.
I attempted to stop her when she was nearing the stone, but a powerful force pushed me back. I should be thankful that I was at least able to inform Max of the total fiasco.
