Seraphine's Pov
"Good afternoon dad," I greeted the moment I entered my father's office. My father lifted up his head to look at me. His blue eyes which I inherited from him stared at me in scrutiny.
I walked to the other side of his office to avoid his gaze.
"There's a bruise near your chin, who did that?" My father asked as he stroked his stubble. I gulped, whenever my dad did that, he was ready to throw hands.
I sighed, there was no way he could fight with the alpha or would he do that?
"Is it Orion?" My father asked.
I turned to face him, "You shouldn't say his name without his title Dad."
He raised an eyebrow, "I knew that kid since he was in diapers, he wouldn't punish the only pack's doctor would he?"
I sighed as I dropped my bag, "he said he would kill my mate if I don't do what he wants, The awakening ceremony is two days from now."
I watched as my father's jaws clenched, "I'll talk to him sera, he will do nothing to you, I will make sure if it."
"Father, it's not worth it, only the moon goddess knows what he would do when you confront him… Orion is an insane man."
"What do you mean it's not worth it? You are worth everything to me Sera…everything, never forget that."
"Yes father," I said as I stood in front of the mirror, "what's the commotion about anyway, I saw people decorating the pack house, do we have any guests from outside?"
"Oh, that…the Lycan king is visiting," my father said with a deep sigh.
I turned to face him, "Like he sent his second in command here."
"No Seraphine, he is coming here himself," My father replied, he didn't sound enthusiastic at all. My eyes widened in surprise, the Lycan king was coming here himself? The great Lucian was coming here?
"Don't come out of here till the night of the awakened do you understand?" My father ordered as he massaged his temples.
"Yes sir," I said almost immediately. I understood his concern, Lycans were not to be messed with at all. They believed they were superior to werewolves, one wrong move around them and they would tear your throat out.
Lycans were dangerous, the king of Lycans was worse. According to rumors, King Lucian once tore his fellow Lycan apart for trying to seduce him.
A shiver ran through my spine as I thought about how dangerous he was, I needed to avoid the Lycans at all costs.
Even though the king of lycans was in charge of keeping the werewolf packs in this country in check, he never for once visited the packs personally so why was he visiting now
"You shouldn't think too much about it Sera, I prepared your lunch already, you should eat," my father said as he stood up, "I need to go to the infirmary, if you need anything, come meet me."
"Okay father," I replied. My dad grabbed a book and then walked out. I sighed.
I needed to leave, but it had to be immediately after I awakened my wolf. I want to take my father with me but there was no way he would agree, he loved this pack and he was the only remaining doctor left.
Nobody was willing to learn medicine so my father was the only doctor left with only a few nurses.
I sighed, for my sake, I had to leave this place…I have had enough of all the bullshit that goes on.

Lucien's Pov
"Is this the rumored Ghost claw pack," I asked my second one command as I glanced around the pack environment, It was smaller than I expected,
"Yes my lord, werewolf packs are generally smaller sire," Lucas responded as he glanced around.
I sighed, if not for my mother who begged me day and night to take a bride instead of searching for my non-existent mate, I wouldn't be here.
"Someone is approaching," Lucas warned as he stood into stance, the rest of my bodyguards also stood into stance.
I almost raised an eyebrow, the person approaching in question was a werewolf alpha. A werewolf alpha could kill an ordinary Lycan but my beta? I doubt he would leave a scratch.
"It's just the alpha, y'all just calm down," my gamma, Marcus said. Lucas grunted the moment he noticed he was right.
"Stand straight, we don't want them thinking we came to attack do we?" I spoke in a low tone. With a grunt, Lucas loosened his stance.
The alpha approached us with two people by his side, one should be his beta while the other could be his luna since she was a woman.
The alpha used his hands to adjust his red hair then brought out his hand for a shake.
"My name is Alpha Orion Frost, it's is my pleasure to welcome you to the Ghost claw pack."
I stared at his outstretched hands with a hint of disgust.
"You are supposed to bow, that's King Lucian, not a regular Lycan," Lucas spoke in anger.
I watched as he feigned ignorance then hurriedly bowed, the other two people behind him followed his gestures.
"King Lucian, I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize you, welcome to the pack," Orion said in an apologetic tone but I knew he was anything than apologietic. It was as if he were mocking me.
"You know Orion…I have met many alpha's who were cocky, most bowed their head to me in fear, and the ones who thought they could talk to me with their egos…I killed them." I said raising an eyebrow, i saw him shiver.
"It would take nothing for me to rip out your heart Orion, don't make me do that," I continued in a nonchalant tone. I could see his two other subordinates trembling.
"Yes, King Lucian," Orion replied with a fake but fearful smile. My lips curved into a satisfying smile.
"You may rise," I ordered as I dusted my hands on my black pants. He did as I said.
"You should follow me lycan king," he said then he began to walk towards the pack house.
"I don't like him," Marcus said through the telepathy link.
"Me neither," Lucas added, "he reminds me of your mother."
I rolled my eyes, "Don't do anything to him without my permission, but remember if any of them try to act nonsensical, do not hesitate to cut off their throats."
"Yes sir," they both replied. I sighed, it looks like staying here was going to be exciting.
