SERAPHINA
I had made sure I did not leave anything behind when I ran away so it was a mystery to me how Ronan found who I was.
“It was simple. I dig into Seth Darven’s background,” he titled his head slightly, “His background was clear, matching the records at the Academy but he had no sister. Then I looked into his relatives and found he had an aunt, a twin sister of his mother. And the aunt had a daughter. The daughter of Alpha Darious Nightbane.”
My breath hitched. So he found my identity through Seth. He did my background check.
“No,” he cut my thought as if he read my mind, “I did not have to do the background check,” saying that he inched closer to me and leaned down towards my face with a smile, “The rumors of the Alpha Darious rebellious yet moon beauty daughter was enough to let me know, it was you…” he touched my cheek and whispered, “Seraphina.”
My heart skipped a beat. I never thought he would have found me, not with my face but rumors.
His soft touch heated my cheeks and his words made my heart flattered.
I licked my lips and slowly pulled my face away from his touch, “You! Are you a stalker or something? Why would you go to such lengths?” growling, I turned around to change my bed sheets.
He chuckled behind me but I paid him no attention. I was just angry at myself. Why was I not angry at his stalker–like act? I should probably punch him a time or two for doing something like this. But all I could do was growl at him.
Just as I changed the bedsheet, the sky outside rumbled, deep and loud like a growl rolling across the heavens.
1 spun around, startled.
“It’s going to rain,” Ronan said quietly, looking outside.
I glanced at him by the window, broad shoulders blocking the entire view. Curious, I padded over.
I leaned to the side to peek through the narrow gap his body left, only for him to step aside with a teasing look. His arm brushed mine as I moved forward, taking his place.
Cool air rushed against my skin, and the first drops of rain splattered against the windowpane. I leaned out slightly, letting the chill kiss my cheeks.
“It’s raining…in early winter?” I murmured, stretching my hand through the window. A droplet landed on my palm, cool, sharp, pure. “Strange.”
“Come to think…” Ronan’s voice came low, just behind me, “Why are you wearing perfume when we’re alone in the room?”
I froze for half a second, pulling my hand back. “I just like being this way,” I lied smoothly.
But Ronan leaned in closer, his breath ghosting over my ear. “Is it really your preference? Or your defense mechanism…to keep me at arms length?”
Like someone had stepped on my tail, I turned sharply to glare at him. His gaze didn’t falter, it lingered, unreadable but intense.
Deep down, I’d told myself that I could keep him at arm’s length due to my disguise. He would be disgusted since he was straight.
However, that look…that dark, heated look said otherwise.
Dev ene sheep And The Wall
He leaned in again, as if reading every unspoken thought in my head. “If you think your disguise can save you from me…then you’re wrong, Seraphina,” he whispered.
My breath hitched.
“Your face alone is a big turn–on for me.”
Before I could process that, I felt it, his hardened length pressing softly, boldly against my belly.
Heat exploded in my face.
“You–you shameless, perverted man!” I cried, shoving him away.
He laughed lowly as I stormed back to my bed, grabbing my blanket and wrapping it around myself like
armor.
I narrowed my eyes at him in a death glare. “Try to do anything or even get close to my bed tonight, and I swear I will kill you.”
Still amused, he held up both hands in mock surrender but didn’t deny the obvious smirk tugging at his lips.
I turned my back to him, burying my face in the pillow. My heart pounded like crazy, my skin still tingling where he touched me.
What the hell was I going to do with this man?
How was I supposed to live alone in this room with him? He was a wolf and I had suddenly become the sheep that he wanted to devour.
Even worse…with my stupid, fluttering heart?
Wait! I Have Something to Say!
