Mated to My Fiancé’s Alpha King Brother

Seraphina’s POV 1

The darkness pressed against me like a living thing.

I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I was sure they could hear it through the walls.

*Thump. Thump. Thump.*

Each beat screamed his name. *Damien. Damien. Damien.*

He was here. In this house. Looking for me.

I pressed my hands over my mouth to muffle the sound of my breathing. My whole body shook. Every muscle locked tight with terror

and longing and guilt that threatened to tear me apart.

“SERA!”

His voice boomed through the house, raw and desperate and so achingly familiar it physically hurt. “SERA, I KNOW YOU’RE HERE!”

Oh God. Oh God, oh God, oh God.

My knees buckled. I slid down the wall of the tiny hiding space, my back scraping against rough wood. The darkness spun around me.

*I should go to him. I should run out there and-*

No. No, I couldn’t. That’s why I left. That’s why I ran.

But hearing his voice after three weeks…

Footsteps pounded across the floor above me. Heavy. Frantic. The whole house seemed to shake with his fury.

“Your wife?” Margaret’s voice filtered through. High–pitched. Alarmed. “Young man, there’s no one here but family.”

*I’m sorry,* I wanted to scream. *I’m so sorry I’m putting you through this.*

More footsteps. Damien was moving through the house like a storm. I could track his path by the sound–kitchen, living room, now the

stairs.

*He’s going upstairs.*

My breath came in short, sharp gasps. The small space suddenly felt impossibly smaller. The walls closing in.

*What if he finds me? What if he doesn’t?*

I didn’t know which possibility terrified me more,
