"Marry you again?" I parroted, feeling my blood boil. I couldn't help standing up from this madness Desmond had thought again.He arched his eyebrow. "You said that you are prepared for the consequences. Then, this is it. You are going to marry me again." There was a condescending smile written on his lips.It was as if he already knew that I was going to initiate sex from him. He was well aware of my pregnancy hormones..."No," I said in a determined tone before I started picking up my clothes and dressed up."Seraphina, whether you like it or not, you are going to marry me again!" He roughly yanked my arm, meeting his darkened face.I scoffed. How dare... "In our agreement of divorcing our marriage, you promised that you are not going to scheme on me again, Desmond!" I clenched my hands. "What is this that you are forcing me to marry you again?" I yanked my arm back before I slapped his face. "You never change!""Seraphina, this is the only way that we can reconcile—"Before he coul

Desmond"My apologies, Alpha Desmond, but Lady Seraphina does not want to see you."My heart dropped upon hearing that from Anderson. "S-She doesn't want to see m-me?" I even pointed at myself.Anderson released a sigh. "Alpha, she is well aware that you are the triggering factor for her almost miscarriage. Please allow her to rest." I could tell that Seraphina had asked him a favor.'She... really hates me, right?' I asked him through mind-linked. Anderson hesitantly nodded.'I am sorry, Alpha. Also, it is really best for her not to see you know that you are the cause of why she is bleeding in the first place.' He smiled sadly at me. 'She said that you have never been good to her in the first place.'I could have sworn my heart fell out from my chest to hit the floor. Seraphina's words were truly heartbreaking. It was equally painful when she rejected our mate bond before she absconded.I was forced to smile. "I see... I shall try again to see her next time." My wolf was already howl

Desmond"I want to move to Elian."Seraphina didn't waste any time when she told me that she wished to speak with me in my renovated study room after a few days of recuperating in the infirmary.Also, I changed the location of my study room and made my previous room a storage room.Seraphina had been feeling uncomfortable going to my previous study room, so I decided to renovate it and make it a storage room. I knew that it reminded her of my infidelity years ago.Sander was right. Seraphina was going to tell me that she wanted to go to Elian... to the vacation house I built for her.My heart was constricted right now with what Seraphina said. And the way she was looking at me with pure coldness was enough to hurt my wolf right now."Is this... for certain?" I felt a huge lump in my throat right now, asking for that. How much more if I decided to agree with it?And I had to follow Sander's unilateral agreement. If I love my mate, I must let her go now. That was what Sander had been te

DesmondJust as we talked about, I was staying in Verlice's vacation house to be my son's mentor while still doing my Alpha duties. Right now, I was sparring with Sander with the wooden sword."Is that the best you can do, Sander?" I mocked my son when he was attacking me by calculating my movements. "You are boasting that you can defeat me but I do not see a good result."Sander frowned, annoyed at my remarks. But he did not let himself be distracted by how I was ridiculing him. In fact, he was focusing more on how to counterattack me.Sander was excellent at dwelling on the wooden sword. It would be a matter of time before he would be holding a real sword soon.To finish this sparring, I made a dirty tactic by tripping him with my foot. Sander fell to the ground and glared at me. "That is so unfair, Papa!" He looked frustrated and was near to bursting tears.I chuckled and winced his hair. "This is not always about how well you can hold your sword, son. You must think on the battlef

Desmond"Papa, Papa, look!"I snapped back to reality when Hezekiah tugged my hand and showed me that he earned a high score from studying. I winced at his hair. "That is good to know, Hezekiah. Wonderful..."Hezekiah beamed. "Thank you, Papa." With that, he went outside of my study room, jumping with joy.Before the door was closed, Hazel came in with a tray of snacks in her hands. "I have brought you something, Alpha."I grimaced. "Did I even tell you to come here, Hazel?" My voice boomed all over the manor as I slammed my desk.Hazel looked surprised and frightened before she chuckled nervously. "Come on... Just some snacks, no?" She even dared to place the tray on my desk. Then she went behind me and massaged my shoulders. "No one's going to take care of you, Alpha. I am here. I can handle the wife's chores."I secretly gritted my teeth when she whispered at me with a sensual tone. "Get your hands off me before I shall break them," I threatened her with a growl.Hazel scoffed, ste
