Chapter 9 Seraphina's Hesitation

Aurora Guardians Pack.

Those eyes stared intently at the large mirror before her, her gaze unable to hide her red and puffy eyes. She saw her reflection in the mirror.

Her face was utterly messed up. There were so many emotions in her sharp gaze. Anger, sadness, devastation, disgust, and regret were so great that it was slowly destroying her soul.

He was angry, sad, and devastated. He deeply regretted hurting Seraphina too profoundly, which disgusted him with himself.

The door to the room opened, and Viktor approached Evan. Viktor could only let out a harsh sigh as he saw his Alpha and best friend on the edge of destruction.

Viktor's original intention was to scold Evan. Lately, Evan had never done his job as Alpha, which had left Viktor confused because his duties had multiplied.

All Evan did was lock himself up and stay in Seraphina's room. Seeing Evan like this, Viktor's intentions fizzled out instantly.

Viktor only saw Evan's silence; the object he was looking at was now indifferent, as if he didn't exist.

Viktor honestly felt sorry for Evan's current condition. But how else could Evan himself create such destruction for himself?

Viktor sat on the small bed beside Evan. He followed Evan's gaze. "Are you trying to see how broken you are right now, Huh?"

Viktor looked at Evan through the reflection of the large mirror before him. There was no answer or glance from Evan.

Viktor let out another resigned sigh. "Come on Evan, you're acting like the world is ending! Don't keep locking yourself in Seraphina's room."

This time, Viktor looked Evan directly in the eye with annoyance. "Get out Viktor! You'll contaminate Seraphina's scent!"

Evan spoke without looking at Viktor. This time, Viktor reached into his jacket pocket for something and held something out to Evan.

"I think this is for you. I picked it up at the party. He dropped this when you rejected him." A small black box with a pretty red ribbon. Seraphina's gift to Evan.

"Seraphina?" Evan accepted the box. Viktor patted Evan on the shoulder and walked away. He stopped at the doorway.

"I think you should know this Evan. The warriors couldn't find Seraphina. The girl's scent was lost in the ravine, this is just a guess. You must be prepared if Seraphina..." Before Viktor could finish his sentence, Evan cut in.

"OUT!" Evan couldn't bear to hear what Viktor would say.

He didn't want to be punished like this. Evan could accept any punishment as long as Seraphina lived.

Viktor closed the door and left. Evan looked sadly at the gift in his hand. Once again, he couldn't hold back his tears.

This seemed to be a record high in terms of crying in Evan's life. In fact, he had never cried before, even though when his father left, he could still hold it all in.

Evan opened the gift and smiled bitterly at its contents-a very cute handkerchief made by Seraphina. Evan took the handkerchief and inhaled deeply, trying to fill his senses with Seraphina's scent.

He looked at the gift again and found a folded paper inside. The man tried to open the envelope, which turned out to be a letter. Evan wiped his face roughly as he read the contents of the letter.

"Hi Evan, Happy birthday!.... I hope this letter reaches you. I have so much to say, but I can't do it in person. That's why I'm trying to write this letter. But strangely when I try to start writing, I don't know what to say. Take it easy, I won't ask you to accept me. I just want you to know that I love you very much. Maybe to you this is just a useless love letter, but I'm writing this with the sincerity of the feelings I have for you. You know Evan, it seems like my feelings can't be helped anymore. You're always giving me wounds but stupidly I can't stop my feelings, it feels like my feelings are getting deeper every day. I don't want you to have regrets later. Because I know it will hurt you a lot. If only we could share our wounds and heal each other, then your heart would definitely be more peaceful. I'm not good at composing beautiful poems, all I can write are simple words. All I want is one thing Evan, your happiness. I love you Evan, very much. I hope you're not disgusted by this letter I've written because this letter is my prayer for you. If hurting me will lessen your pain, then that's fine with me. Because you are the only purpose of my life. Once again I say with all my flaws, I love you Evan, my Mat..." - Seraphina.

Evan sobbed as he read the letter. Absolute devastation was coming to him. The man rubbed his face roughly. Every word Seraphina wrote managed to become a spear that pierced Evan.

"AARRGH"

A cry of anguish rang out loudly in the room. Evan held his chest tightly, hoping to ease the pain. But it was useless; the pain only increased.

He had never felt this broken in his entire life. If he could choose, he would fight hundreds of werewolves instead of feeling the pain of Seraphina leaving him.

The door to the room opened again, and we saw Luna Freya and Alpha Nimph looking at Evan with worried looks.

Seeing their son like this was heartbreaking. It was true that Luna Freya and Alpha Nimph were still angry with Evan's decision, but now that anger melted into sadness at seeing their son destroyed.

Luna Freya approached and immediately embraced Evan. Seeing her son's state, Luna Freya held back her tears. Alpha Nimph also approached.

"If you really regret it and really love him then get up! You won't get anything if you just sit there brooding over your regrets, Evan! Find her at all costs. Bring her home with your own hands. Seraphina will not return if you continue like this."

Alpha Nimph tried to get Evan to wake up. Alpha Nimph hoped this would be a slap in the face to her son for wasting such a precious girl.

Seraphina POV

I closed my eyes, letting the night breeze gently slap my face. I was standing on my room's balcony because I couldn't sleep. Kael's words kept ringing in my head.

"In six days you will get your shift. Right when the entire solar system is on one straight line. That day is the day of the Queen's death and resurrection. If until that day the Intermediary Stone is not retrieved by its owner, then my entire pack will be destroyed and we will all die."

I'm not that willing to let Kael's pack be destroyed. But if I'm not the one to pull out the Intermediary Stone, who will? If I let the Black Witch have it, I would destroy the immortal world.

But if I pull out the Intermediary Stone, it means I have to accept my destiny as Queen, which requires me to return to Evan.

How can I return if Evan hates me so much? I don't want my heart to be in constant pain.

I can't deny that deep in my little heart, there is still a feeling for him, but unfortunately, my hatred is just as great.

Loving someone you hate isn't so easy. It was complete! Sean hates me, and I hate him.

Our relationship is going to fail. I sighed tiredly, thinking about all this. 'What do you think, Lys?' I scanned Lysa to see what she thought.

'I don't know Sera. Honestly, I feel a little relieved that Evan didn't legitimately reject us that time and that I can still survive until now. We can't be selfish and only think about our feelings. The entire immortal world is in our hands.'

Lysa was right. If fate leads me to return to Evan, then what can I do? But can I stay with Evan? Can I survive? I'm still deciding whether to be accepted by Evan and think of staying by his side.

When Evan sees me again, he will surely kick me out of sight and continue his pending rejection. Gosh, all this is almost driving me crazy! What should I do now?
