My Sister Stole My Mate And I Let Her (Seraphina) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Chapter 153 DEATH WISH

SERAPHINA’S POV

My pulse drummed so loud that I could barely hear Alina when she spoke.

‘Get close,’ she replied, calm where I was chaos. ‘Close enough for me to see what you can’t. Close enough to feel the rhythm of his wolf.’

My mouth went dry. Close. To Kieran’s wolf—a ferocious monster whose paw had nearly cracked my ribs minutes ago.

I wanted to trust her. Gods, I needed to trust her. But even with her certainty, she hadn’t promised victory.

She hadn’t said when or how. Only that there was a way.

But what choice did I have? We’d already learned the truth the hard way—the rest of us couldn’t win against Ashar. We’d be crushed again and again.

This was the only way forward.

I forced my breathing into something steadier and faced my teammates.

They had huddled closer, nursing their injuries, exhaustion and despair carved into their faces.

I squared my shoulders. “We try again.”

Roxy let out a sharp laugh, half-hysterical. “Try again? Did I miss something? What changed between now and the time we got our asses handed to us like toddlers in a training ring?”

Despite the blood still seeping down her chin, her defiance burned hot enough to melt the snow beneath us.

“This time will be different,” I said.

“Oh, sure. And how’s that? The only possible chance we have left is if we Shift, but a dozen Omega wolves can’t stand against an Alpha like Kieran.” Her eyes narrowed. “Or are you suddenly gonna sprout claws and fur of your own, Alpha-born?”

“Roxy,” Judy snapped, her tone edged with warning. But I lifted a hand to stop her.

“She’s right.” The words tasted bitter, but I forced them out. “I can’t Shift. Not like you. Not like him. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have something else.”

Roxy scoffed. “What, a death wish?”

“No. A plan.” I lifted my chin, trying to will strength into my battered body. “We’ve been fighting as if we need to bring him down. But we don’t—Finn was right. The talisman’s all that matters.”

Finn leaned forward, a hand kneading his ankle. “So what do you suggest?”

My stomach twisted. Here was the leap of faith. I couldn’t tell them about Alina. Couldn’t admit there was another consciousness in me whispering secrets.

“I need you to trust me,” I said. “I need to get close enough to grab the talisman. That’s our only shot.”

“Yeah, no shit, we need to get close,” Roxy said. “How do we do that?”

I shook my head. “Not ‘we’. Me.”

“Are you insane?” she exploded. “You couldn’t even take one hit without crumpling! He’ll rip you apart before you lay a hand on him!”

Her words stung, but I held her glare, refusing to flinch. “Then buy me the time I need. Cover me. Distract him. I’ll do the rest.”

Roxy’s laugh was jagged, desperate. “Oh, this is rich. You, the one without claws, without a wolf, going toe-to-toe with that?” She jabbed a finger toward the golden beast still waiting with lethal calm. “You’ll be mulch before you get within arm’s reach!”

“She’s not wrong,” Talia rasped, her voice faint from her still-shaky breaths. “But...what choice do we have?”

Judy’s eyes locked on mine. She was searching, weighing, as if trying to decide whether I’d finally cracked under the cold and fear.

But then she gave a single, firm nod. “If Sera says she can do it, then I believe her.”

Finn hesitated only a moment before adding, “Same here.”

Roxy whirled on them. “Have you two lost your damn minds?”

“Roxy,” Judy said, her tone firm. “We follow our leader.”

The word hung in the air, heavy as an oath. After all we’d been through...it wasn’t just formality—it was trust.

I swallowed hard against the lump in my throat. Deep down, I wasn’t completely sure I deserved that word. But gods, I was going to do everything in my power to be worthy of it.

Roxy looked between us, jaw clenched, fury and fear battling across her face. Finally, with a violent exhale, she spat into the snow, painting it red.
