Seraphina’s POV 1

My hands curled into fists at my sides as rage built in my chest like molten lava. “Where is my son, Valerie?”

“Oh, Adrian?” She examined her perfectly manicured nails with theatrical indifference. “I’m sure he’s around somewhere. Children are so

adventurous at that age, aren’t they? Always wandering off, getting into places they shouldn’t.”

The casual cruelty in her voice made something snap inside me. I lunged forward, my hands reaching for her throat, but Valerie was

ready for me. Her fist connected with my cheek with enough force to send me stumbling backward into the wall, stars exploding across

my vision.

“Now, now,” she said conversationally, shaking out her hand as if hitting me had been nothing more than swatting a fly. “Let’s not make

this harder than it needs to be. You know what Mother wants. Just come home, marry Harold like a good little omega, and I’ll tell you

exactly where to find your precious bastard.”

“Never,” I spat, tasting blood on my lip.

Valerie’s laugh was like breaking glass. “Oh, but you will. Because the alternative is so much worse.” She moved closer, her voice dropping

to a whisper that somehow made it ten times more terrifying. “Do you know what happens to little boys lost in the forest, Sera? The

border territories are crawling with rogues these days. Hungry, desperate wolves who wouldn’t hesitate to tear apart anything weak and

helpless they happened to find.”

She grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked my head back with vicious force, making my scalp burn with pain. “Your little boy is

somewhere in rogue territory right now, Sera. Probably scared, probably crying for his mommy. And every minute you waste here

arguing with me is another minute he’s alone out there with the monsters.” 1

“Let go of me!” I tried to wrench free, but her grip was like iron.

“Here’s what’s going to happen,” she hissed in my ear, her breath hot against my skin. “You’re going to come with me right now. You’re

on your knees, and beg Harold’s forgiveness for your
