Seraphina:
I couldn’t sleep.
No matter how hard I tried to get my eyes closed, I couldn’t sleep.
And when morning came…
When Alexander wasn’t back…
Realization hit me harder than I wanted it to be… the emptiness that I felt on the bed beside me… not that he had slept there lately, but because I expected movement by now. Orders. Footsteps. The Alpha returning to restore order. I expected him to be around me, I expected him to be by my side through it all…
But nothing…
No summons.
No command.
No sign of him anywhere in the pack.
My fingers curled into the sheets.
He should have been back by dawn.
He shouldn’t have stayed out the night, but I knew that he wasn’t…
The pack needed him. The sickness was spreading. Tension was thick enough to choke on. And yet… he had taken her. Rath
