[Seraphine's POV]"The person who spread the virus is a resident of this village. We were just late to realize it. And it was already too late when everyone had already been infected by the deadly virus," Reges explained, his face almost in tears.While I'm here, bearing the heavy burden I have to go through afterward. They don't know what kind of virus is attacking them, so they can still be relaxed like this.Unlike me and Cassian, who understands very well how dangerous the virus is if it's not resolved immediately. And it doesn't mean that I, being here, can help them."Reges, tell me where the house of the person who spread the virus in this village is," I requested.Instead of answering, the couple exchanged glances. They seemed to be searching for signals on how to answer my question.I knew it, something is not right here."The person who spread the virus is already dead, Seraphine," Marilyn said fearfully. "He was the first to be infected and the first to die from the virus."

[Seraphine's POV]Unbeknownst to me, at some point, my body was filled with cold sweat as I forced myself to search for useful memories in this place. My breath was ragged, and my head throbbed. And despite all that, I still hadn't found anything."It's pointless. There are no important memories here." Finally, I surrendered and ended my vision.With a staggering body, I remained standing here, pondering where else I could search. This was the only place where I could extract information, considering the few clues we had."Wait. I think I saw the first person infected with the virus being buried here. Is that true?" Just before I turned around and left, my memory shifted to a voice from my vision that mentioned something in this place.Hastily, I immediately searched for the mentioned grave. It was difficult since this place was almost leveled with the ground. I rummaged through the debris of burnt houses for quite some time to find traces of a grave.‘I could use my powers to find th

[Seraphine's POV]"Alright." I decided to comply with his words after thinking for a long time. If I could guess correctly, this mysterious Alpha was not the type to keep a cool head.He was not like Cassian; he would not hesitate to hurt me if my words crossed his patience. I had to be careful from now on."So, what kind of opponent are you talking about?" I asked. I lowered my position slightly to make him loosen his guard. All for the sake of making sure he knew I wasn't in a rebellious mode here."You have fighting power, don't you? Use it to fight against me. Right here, right now. But remember one thing, I won't forgive your actions if you dare to look into my mind."This was the second time he warned me about not using mind-reading abilities. It seemed like he intentionally stressed me out by tapping his foot on the floor, creating a loud noise.And the sound of that tapping made me even more aware that this room was silent, with only the two of us remaining. I was helpless bec

[Seraphine's POV]I continued listening to him explain a negotiation that I didn't understand. Wasn't he the one who initially wanted both of us to fight until one of us fell as the winner?‘Why is he now being unstable and offering negotiations?’ I wondered with confusion. I still felt uncomfortable with the flap of his wings, which could easily bring down trees in the forest."What else do you want to negotiate?" I asked, feeling partly tired. I rubbed my eyes, which had felt heavy and sleepy for who knows how long."Come with me and leave Cassian," he said.My hands, which were busy giving my sleepy eyes a chance to open, suddenly stopped. I lifted my face to face him, soaring in the air like a bird set free.And I threw back at him with furrowed brows. "What did you say? Go with you? Do you think I'm crazy?""No," he answered with a serious expression. "I mean what I say. Just because you live with Cassian doesn't mean you'll be happy. You know that. So why don't you come with me?

[Seraphine's POV][But, my power has its limitations.]‘What is it?’ Cassian continued to try to answer and listen to me, even though his entire body was focused on the attacks and defenses in the fight up there.[This method will drain a lot of my energy][I might faint][But I will leave a little of my strength so I can still hypnotize him when we succeed][So, I can only stop time for a short while, Cassian][The rest is up to you]I explained the worst-case scenario to Cassian. All of this was the result of my long thinking, analyzing our remaining strength, time, and how long the Alpha could withstand our attacks.My only hope ... I wanted this attack to succeed. I didn't want to faint and endanger my baby again.As long as he was in my womb, I had brought him to the brink of death multiple times.‘Alright. Leave everything to me, Seraphine. I will ensure that he faints from my attacks.’After Cassian answered, we returned to our respective positions.*Clang! Clang!**Boom! Boom!
