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

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
