Kael's POV
"What the Fuck Kael!" Seraphina yelled barging into my room like she was coming to rip someone's head and it's definitely not mine.
I pushed down the whore on my side, cleaning my lips and trying to catch my breath like I enjoyed whatever she had been doing.
"What the hell is the cheap wolf doing on our bed with her body half naked?" Seraphina grunted pulling her by the hair.
"And you? Don't you have any shame, you like kings huh? You walk in here, trying to sleep with my mate, are you crazy?" She yells tossing her to the floor.
I stood up adjusting my shirt trying to ignore what ever drama she was trying to create.
"Now get out!" Seraphina yelled as the other wolf quickly packs her clothes and leave.
"And you! Kael, how could you!" She lowered her voice in a broken tone as I turned to face the mirror while she stood behind me.
I looked at the mirror for what felt like hours but it was just 60 seconds, I couldn't answer her not because I didn't want to but because I had nothing to tell her.
What's the point? This isn't the first time it's happening.
The room became still and quieter than ever. Before I could think of anything else, seraphina's voice cut through the air like a sword.
"What do you want that I don't give to you? Is it intimacy?" She yelled pulling me by the shirt.
"Seraphina calm down" I said calmly taking her hands off me.
I straightened my face looking down to hers which was twisted in rage and anger bur I couldn't care less. Not even right now when the only thing I can think of is getting Aria.
"No I won't!, is it intimacy you want? I'll give you that! You don't need other wolves to give you that! I'm your Luna and only I should have access to you!" She yelled striping all her clothes off, she pulls me by my shirt, kissing me aggressively biting hers.
I panted pushing her away "Seraphina stop this! You all taste the same"
She paused looking at me in the eyes "I can't be compared to other wolves, know this and know peace" she said kissing my abs.
I wouldn't lie, I could feel something different but not up to 10% of what I feel for Aria.
I tried to take advantage of the moment and grabbed her thighs and she gave in more.
"I want to feel you in me, I miss you that much Kael " she said. She lifted herself up with her hands around my neck and kissed me again.
Then she reached down for me and stroked the head of my little buddy into her. "You like that?," she asked with a smirk on her face.
I moaned then, tilting my head back, my hands clamped on her waist, then moved the other to cup my chest.
I watched her face as best I could. Her lips parting, stretching, her mouth opening in a slight manner.
Suddenly I began to feel a strange heat, more like a burning sensation, the one I get whenever I try to sleep with a wolf.
The more I looked at her, the more heat I felt, I growled pushing her off me panting heavily, one hand placed on my chest.
"What is it Kael? Don't you feel the bond? Don't you feel what I feel?" Seraphina starred at me puzzled as she sat on the bed.
"There's no bond Seraphina. This isn't about you. This is about me….And Aria."
Seraphina's eyes flared up, I knew I had hit a nerve but I couldn't stop either, not now, i can't keep pretending I don't feel what I feel.
"You're pathetic." She sneers, her voice sounding low. "She's nothing, Kael. Nothing compared to me. I am your Luna, your mate, your destiny."
A bitter laugh escapes my lips. The word "destiny" has never sat well with me. Not with Seraphina, anyway.
"Destiny?" I shake my head, frustration slowly filling my voice. "You think this is destiny? That you're what I need? This? All of this? It's not... it's never been enough. It's never been what I felt for her."
My own words surprise me. I know I've said them before, but it all sounded different now.
With every moment passing, I could feel it in my chest, that pull toward Aria, and it's only getting worse.
Seraphina stares at me, her eyes full of doubt and disbelief. I don't think she understands yet. She can't.
"You're pathetic, Kael," she spits out again. "You can't even see what I've done for you. What I've sacrificed just to please you. And you're throwing it all away for her, a lowlife?"
I stood up slowly, trying to push the pain aside, trying to push away the anger growing inside me. The need for Aria kept on burning hot but I couldn't let Seraphina see that. Not when she's this close to losing it.
"I didn't ask for this," I replied. "I didn't ask for any of it. But this... This heat... this bond..." I swallow hard. "I can't fight it anymore."
Seraphina's eyes narrow, "You think this bond with her is real?" she sneers. "You think it's worth throwing everything away?"
I turned away from her "It's not that simple, Seraphina. It's not about what you want. It's about what I feel. And I can't ignore it."
She looks at me like she's going to strike me with a rod or something any moment from now but then she just laughs bitterly.
"You really think she's worth this? You think she can give you anything close to what I've given you?" She steps closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You don't need them. You have me, Kael. I'm your Luna. I am everything you need." She says walking closer to me.
I flinch as she steps closer to me, brushing her fingers along my jaw. The touch burns in a way I can't quite explain. But it's not Aria.
I shove her hand away before I can stop myself, my breath coming faster than usual.
I looked at her, my eyes glitching from gold to black and just then, the word escapes my lips.
"Aria."
I could barely recognize my own voice.
She's watches me in confusion, "What? What did you say?" She said with her voice sharp now,
I can't stop it. I can't stop the way my body trembles, the way my breath hitches. Aria. My wolf. She's the one who's always been there, who's always been the center of everything I've ever felt.
I groan, the words spilling out before I can stop them.
"I can't feel what I felt for you, Seraphina. Not like I do for her. It's not the same. It never will be."
Seraphina stood there frozen.
The pack helpers burst into the room, but they don't matter right now. They rush to me, but I can barely focus on them, or on anything.
The Chief follows them in, his expression harden as he looks at me.
"He needs help," he says, his voice filled with concern. "This isn't just a bond. He's cursed."
I don't even look at Seraphina, but I hear the confusion in her voice as she asks, "What curse?"
The Chief doesn't answer her. He turns, gesturing for the helpers to begin their work. His voice is low when he speaks to me. "We'll get to the bottom of this. But first, we need to break the curse."
"Curse" I never thought I'd hear that word again.
The helpers try to get me on my feet.
I look at Seraphina, the anger in her eyes, the disbelief. She's just as lost as I am. I couldn't be bothered about her right now, all I needed was Aria.
"Find her for me," I growl, my voice filled with desperation. I can't fight this anymore. I can't pretend.
Seraphina doesn't move. She just stares at me with something only me could see in her eyes, Something dangerous.
