The Truth Revealed

“Please enjoy, Miss, if you need anything you can just press the button on top of the drawer, and I will come right away,” said a middle-aged woman in her maid uniform with a friendly smile.

Getting such friendly treatment made Seraphina look awkward. She had never received such kind treatment while at Pack Aurora Guardians.

“No need to call me lady, I'm not a lady here. Just call me Seraphina or Sera. And you, what's your name?”

“I'm Ana, Miss, and I'm sorry I'll continue to call you Miss. This is an order,” Ana replied.

“Well, if you don't want to call me by my name at least don't be that formal with me, I'm a little uncomfortable.” Ana just smiled in response to me.

“You should eat this porridge while it's still warm. Then, if you'll excuse me, Miss.” I sighed deeply at Ana's disobedience.

After a few servants began to leave, Seraphina left the large room. Now, there was only a bowl of porridge with an appetizing aroma.

Aurora Guardians Pack.

“How's my mommy?” Evander stood in front of the large door of Luna Freya's room.

“Luna still hasn't touched her food, Alpha.” An omega spoke while bowing his body and leaving immediately.

Ever since the events after the party that night, specifically since the rogue attack and Seraphina's death, Luna Freya had not wanted to see Evander, her son, at all.

Evander could only sigh seeing his mother like that. Even Louis was the same, Evander couldn't contact him at all.

Louis was furious and chose to hide deep in Evan's mind. For him, rejecting Seraphina was the best decision. And he hoped his mom and Louis could understand that.

'Knock knock knock' Evan tried to open the door which turned out to be unlocked.

“Mom...Luna Freya stood facing the window without turning to look at Evander.

“Please, Mom. Don't be like this. Say something, I'd rather hear mom scold me than keep me quiet like this.” Evander tried to approach Luna Freya. Luna turned around and looked at Evan with her remaining tears starting to dry.

'PLAAKK!!!'

'PLAAKK!!!'

'PLAAKK!!!'

“Mom...” Evan was very surprised to get three slaps at once from his mother.

“I never raised you to be such an asshole! I'm so disappointed in you, Evan, even your father.” Luna Freya burst into tears again at the sight of her son who had made such a stupid decision.

“My father?” Evan smiled wryly at the thought of his father's fate.

“Mom realize, my father is gone because of that girl. SERAPHINA! The girl you've always loved is the girl who made my father go away. When will Mom understand?”

Luna Freya looked at Evander with disappointment. How else to make her son realize. She had given up, what else was there to fight for? Seraphina had left her son, it was all over.

Suddenly Beta Martin ran in with a look on his face that was hard to interpret.

“Alpha, Luna...”

“What's wrong? Did something happen?” Evander tried to confirm.

“Alpha Niamh...She's back!”

Evander and Luna Freya were shocked. However, Evander quickly ran to the place where his father was said to have returned. He wanted to see if what Martin said was true.

“Dad...”

Evan was transfixed. He was still wondering if what was in front of him was really his father? Or was this just another dream? However, Alpha Niamh turned around and looked at her son.

“I see you are now an Alpha? Hmmm?” The father walked over to Evan and hugged his son tightly.

Evander seemed to return his father's embrace. He hugged Alpha Niamh tightly. He didn't want the hug to end. If it was indeed a dream, then he would kill whoever had woken him up.

“How are you, Son?”

Evan felt tongue-tied. His father had always taught him that a man should never cry. But today he seemed to have broken that taboo.

“Nimh...are you back?” Alpha Niamh released her embrace on her son when Luna Freya arrived. The Alpha saw his wife teary-eyed. It was obvious that the two loved each other.

Luna Freya seemed to cry tears of joy and Alpha Niamh hugged her tightly. Evander looked at the two with a happy smile. Perhaps, that's what he really hoped for, his family intact again.

“I missed you so much, Freya.” Alpha Niamh nuzzled his head into his wife's neck.

“Niamh, what happened exactly? Why have you been missing all this time?”

Alpha Niamh released her embrace from Luna Freya. The middle-aged man looked at his son and wife as if regretting.

“I'm sorry for leaving you guys. I was caught off guard. Evan, when I saw you about to be attacked by the rogue, you were already unconscious, but when I was about to kill the rogue I was shot by the wolfsbane first. But luckily there was Seraphina who protected you. I still remember that little girl throwing a big rock at their heads. And Beta Tristan came to your rescue. That damn rogue also managed to immobilize Beta Tristan and take us away. But luckily we managed to escape and someone helped us. He was a doctor, whether it was a miracle we were helped by a doctor. Our condition was really critical at that time. We had absorbed too much wolfsbane. I'm sorry I didn't come back to see you sooner. It takes a long time to heal from wolfsbane.”

Evander froze in silence. Suddenly he felt his whole body go limp, it felt like it was becoming limp like jelly.

“What is this? Is this the truth?” Pain struck Evander suddenly. “Seraphina! So she was innocent all along? She even tried to protect me?” Evander's body staggered slightly. His legs felt like they couldn't support themselves. He felt really stupid!!!

“Are you okay Son?” Alpha Niamh and Luna Freya looked at their son with worry.

“I'm an asshole!” All the guilt began to eat away at him.

All the times he'd hurt Seraphina were replaying in his head. Evan held his head tightly as it hurt.

Seraphina. In his heart, Evander repeatedly apologized to the girl. He couldn't even imagine how much Sera hated him now. Even Evan felt he couldn't forgive himself.

“AAKKHHH” Evan shouted loudly hoping to reduce this tightness.

“Evan, what's wrong? Are you okay?” Alpha Niamh stared at her son, looking increasingly worried.

“I rejected Seraphina, Dad” Evander's eyes were hot as he said that. “I should have trusted her. How stupid of me to let my girl get hurt.”

He even regretted making her see him and Elara making love. Even after all that Evander felt he didn't deserve to call her my girl.

“What?! But how?” Alpha Niamh stared in disbelief.

“I thought Dad left because he was trying to protect Seraphina. I was so angry and all I did was hate him. Every day I tried to make her hurt. I even rejected him at my coronation.”

Evander's tears could no longer be controlled. He didn't care if his father would think of him as weak.

There was only one thing on Evan's mind right now. Where was Seraphina's body after being stuck with an arrow? Where was the dead body? Evan ran away from them to Seraphina's room, he had to see her right now.

Evan wanted to ask for her forgiveness. Anything! Anything he would do to get her back! Even if Seraphina asked for her life it would be given.

Evander immediately opened the door to the room and looked around. It was empty! There was no one here.

“SERAPHINA!!!”

“SERAPHINA!”

“Where are you, hmm?”

“Seraphina please don't go. You can't leave Sera. Punish me Sera I'll do anything for you, anything you want I'll give you. Please show up!”

Crushed. Evander was a complete mess now. He couldn't think of anything except his crime against Seraphina.

The pain he felt now was driving him crazy. Evander flung himself down next to Seraphina's bed.

The young alpha looked around with his eyes already puffy. His heart was breaking again. How could he let her sleep in a room like this? Evan sensed he was really a jerk mate.
