Chapter 211: Chapter 211 – Maybe... the Moon Goddess interfered
The girl’s fear hadn’t fully left her even after Seraphine spoke, her hands still trembling slightly as she clung to the hope that she would be believed and not punished, her voice coming out softer now as she asked, "Luna Sera... you’ll keep your promise, right?"
"She will," Damon answered imdiately before Seraphine could respond, his tone steady and assured, and that alone seed to calm the girl just enough for her shoulders to loosen as she nodded faintly.
"She did not know it was Alpha Ravyn’s room you were sent to. It was only after she had seen the video that she realized the mistake but it was too late to get the gigolo in," she continued after a shaky breath, forcing herself to rember clearly, "Then, I saw her go into another room with one of the n who cut my colleague’s tongue."
That single statent made everything fall into place for Seraphine, not as scattered fragnts anymore but as sothing painfully complete, because the timing, the arrangent, and the chaos of that night suddenly aligned in a way that left no room for coincidence.
That must have been the mont Daisy got pregnant.
And since Ravyn had also slept with her before, everything that followed made sense from his perspective, because he had accepted the pregnancy without ever questioning how carefully the entire situation had been orchestrated around him.
"I don’t know why she made
spike Alpha Ravyn’s drink," the girl added quickly, her brows furrowing as if she still couldn’t understand her own role in it, "but I don’t think she wanted the two of you to end up together. It feels like she had soone else arranged for him... and maybe sothing went wrong."
Her voice dropped slightly as she hesitated, then added in a whisper, "Maybe... the Moon Goddess interfered."
Seraphine didn’t respond to that, because her attention had already moved beyond speculation, beyond assumptions, focusing instead on what mattered most, which was that the only person who could confirm the missing pieces now was Daisy herself, and if she wanted the full truth, she would have to drag it out of her directly.
But to do that, she needed leverage, she needed evidence, and she needed this girl alive and willing to speak when the ti ca.
"What’s your na?" she asked after a brief pause, her tone calr now but still firm.
"Tallulah," the girl replied, then added quickly, "but everyone calls
Tallu."
"And your colleague?" Seraphine asked, her gaze steady. "The one whose tongue was cut."
"Bernard," Tallulah said quietly, her expression darkening as the mory settled over her.
Seraphine gave a slow nod, absorbing that before continuing, "I’ll stay at the pack for a few days, and when I’m ready to leave, I’ll co back for you. Just make sure you’re still here when I return."
Then, after a short pause, she asked more gently, "Where is he now?"
That question alone broke sothing in the girl’s expression as tears welled up again, slipping down her cheek before she could stop them, and her voice cracked as she answered, "He didn’t survive it... he couldn’t bear the pain after the infection set in, and he... he took his own life."
The silence that followed was heavy, stretching between them like sothing unspoken but deeply understood, and Seraphine didn’t interrupt it because there was nothing she could say that would soften what had already happened.
Her hands tightened slightly, not in anger alone but in sothing colder, sharper, more focused, because Daisy’s punishnt was already forming clearly in her mind, and yet part of her still hoped fate would bring Daisy directly in front of her again, just so she could make her understand everything she had done.
"I’m sorry about your friend," Seraphine said at last, her voice quieter but steady, "but I promise I’ll co back for you."
She turned slightly toward Damon. "Do you have any cash?"
Without hesitation, Damon opened his wallet and handed Tallulah a thick stack of bills, enough to keep her stable for a while, his tone calm as he said, "Use this until we co back."
Tallulah stared at it in shock before looking up. "Thank you... Luna Sera, you’re really kind." Then she looked at Damon, not knowing how to address him but Damon did not speak of it either.
Seraphine shook her head faintly, correcting her softly, "Just call
Sera. I’m not the Luna of Centenary pack anymore."
That statent surprised the girl, but before she could respond, Damon had already opened the door, and Tallulah stepped out carefully, holding the money close as if afraid it might disappear, her gaze lingering on Seraphine until the door closed and the night swallowed the mont.
The drive afterward was quieter, heavier, as though everything they had just uncovered was settling into place and refusing to be ignored, and even when Damon finally spoke, his voice carried a cautious edge.
"It’s late," he said, glancing at her briefly, "should I take you back to the pack?"
Seraphine leaned back against the seat, exhaustion finally catching up with her as she shook her head slightly. "No... just let
rest for now."
Her mind, however, refused to quiet down, because Ravyn had also been drugged that night, and that single detail refused to fit neatly into anything she had believed before, especially since she had always assud he had simply been too drunk to rember.
As Corvine drove them toward the hotel, the silence stretched until he finally broke it, his voice low and uncertain as he asked, "Does this an you’ve forgiven Ravyn?"
Seraphine turned sharply toward him, her expression tightening imdiately. "For what?" she snapped, her tone firm as she continued, "I was looking for a way to put him behind bars and make you Alpha, but now everything is tangled up in sothing far more complicated than I expected."
Damon, listening from the driver seat, hesitated before speaking as well, his tone careful. "Does this an I can leave the pack?"
Seraphine looked at him for a mont, weighing her answer before asking instead, "Do you want to leave?"
"Only if you want
to," he replied quietly.
She fell silent for a while, considering what she truly needed moving forward, because no matter how everything unfolded, she would need soone she could trust inside the pack.
"Then stay for now," she said finally.
"As you wish," Damon replied without hesitation.
By the ti they reached the hotel, the night had fully settled, and everything that had happened seed even heavier under the quiet surroundings, but Damon still made sure she was checked in properly before telling her softly, "My room is right next to yours if you need anything."
Seraphine only nodded before heading inside, too drained to say more.
??????
Morning ca too quickly, and in the confusion of everything that had happened, none of them rembered to switch their phones back on, leaving them completely cut off from the world outside until they finally reached the gate.
And there he was.
Ravyn.
When they arrived at the hospital, the air felt even heavier than before, and Ravyn didn’t waste a second as he stepped forward, his voice tight with frustration and urgency as he demanded, "Are you finally going to tell
what’s going on?"
