Chapter 16 – Seraphine Is Gone

Her name echoed inside Ravyn’s head like a struck bell. "Sera..."

The way the word left his mouth, hard, sharp, edged with rage that made Callum instantly regret ever opening his mouth about Daisy.

The Alpha’s presence filled the room, oppressive and cold, his eyes blazing with something far darker than anger.

"No, I haven’t even spoken to Luna—" Callum tried again, his voice strained, desperate to be heard.

"Enough!" Ravyn cut him off. His voice was steel, unyielding, carrying the unquestionable authority of an Alpha who had already passed judgment. "Isn’t it obvious? How dare you accuse Daisy? First you announce your resignation, then you try to pin this on her. Clever, very clever." His lips curled. "Fine, bring your resignation letter now."

A smug smile tugged at Daisy’s lips, small, fleeting, but unmistakable.

Callum saw it, and something inside him snapped.

"Alpha," he said bitterly, his fists clenched at his sides, "I hope you realize one day that this woman is the root of every problem you’re facing."

The slap came without warning. The force sent Callum crashing to the floor, his vision blurring as pain exploded across his cheek.

An Alpha’s strength was unmatched, and the blow was less a strike and more a declaration of dominance. The humiliation burned hotter than the pain.

Without another word, Callum pushed himself up, bowed stiffly out of obligation rather than respect, and left the room. Minutes later, he returned with the resignation letter in hand, his expression hollow.

Ravyn signed it without hesitation, and when the medical staff gathered, murmuring anxiously and pleading on Callum’s behalf, Ravyn’s voice rang out over them all.
