Seraphina’s POV 1
The shock of ice-cold water hitting my face joltedinto consciousness like a lightning bolt. | gasped, choking
and sputtering as the liquid invaded my nose and mouth, my body jerking against restraints |
couldn't yet comprehend.
“Sister dear.”
The voice was sickeningly familiar, dripping with malicious satisfaction that made my blood run cold even
before my vision cleared enough to identify the speaker.
*Valerie.*
As my eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, the reality of my situation crashed overin waves. | was tied to a
chair in what looked like an abandoned storage room-concrete walls stained with mold and God knows what
else, rusted metal shelving, and the overwhelming stench of decay and human waste. My wrists were bound
behind the chair with rough rope that bit into my skin, and my ankles were secured to the chair legs.
| tried to speak, to demand answers, but only a hoarse croak emerged from my throat. My mouth felt like
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsandpaper, my tongue thick and unresponsive.
“Having trouble finding your voice?” Valerie stepped into the weak circle of light cast by a single bare bulb
hanging overhead. She looked different.
“Don’t worry,” she continued, circling my chair. “That's just the aftereffects of the drugs. They'll wear off soon
enough. We need you awake.”
“Where...” | managed to rasp out, my voice barely audible.
“Where are we?” Valerie laughed, the sound echoing off the concrete walls with genuine delight. “Oh, Sera,
you always were slow on the uptake. We're in my new kingdom, courtesy of svery accommodating new
friends.”
She gestured grandly at the squalid surroundings as if she were showing off a palace. “I have to say, I've found
the rogue lifestyle quite liberating. No more pretending to be the perfect little pack member. No more bowing
and scraping to alphas who think they're better than everyone else.”

“The new Luna,” | whispered, the pieces finally clicking into place.
She leaned down until her face was inches from mine, her breath hot and rancid against my cheek. “Don’t
care about me, dear sister. You should be much more concerned about yourself right now.”
Before | could respond, she drew back her hand and slappedacross the face with enough force to make
my ears ring. The sharp crack echoed through the room, and | tasted blood where my teeth cut into my inner
cheek.
“That's for stealing my life,” she snarled, all pretense of playful banter vanishing. “For taking what should have
been mine. For makinglook like a fool in front of the entire pack.”
Another slap, harder this time, snapping my head to the other side. “That's for seducing Damien with your
pathetic omega act. Did you really think someone like him could love someone like you?”
| spat blood, meeting her wild gaze with as much defiance as | could muster. “He does love me. And you know
That's what's eating you alive, isn't it?”
Her face contorted with rage, and for a moment | thought she might hitagain. Instead, she laughed.
She straightened up, smoothing down her filthy clothes with mock dignity. “I have something much more...
creative in mind to treat people like you.”
The sound of heavy footsteps in the corridor outside made my stomach drop. Multiple sets of boots, moving
with purpose.
“Ah, perfect timing,” Valerie said, clapping her hands together with childlike excitement. “I've been telling my
new friends all about you, Sera.”
The door creaked open, and three massive figures filled the doorway. Even in the dim light, | could smell
them-the rank odor of unwashed bodies.
“Boys, Valerie said sweetly, “meet my darling stepsister, Seraphina.”
“She's prettier than you said,” one of them rumbled, his voice thick with lust and cruelty. “This is gonna be
fun.”
“Now, now,” Valerie chided, though her tone held no real reproof. “Remember what we discussed. | want her
broken, not dead. At least not yet.”

She gestured toward the rogues, who began moving into the room with the coordinated movements of
predators who had done this before.
“Have fun, boys,” she said, heading toward the door. “Try to leave her conscious. | want her to remember
every second of this.”
