It was already lunchtime when the Alpha pair visited the manor.
Since last night was the celebration of his parents' mating anniversary, there was still food in the kitchen. Passed-out bodies still littered the main grounds, but the hallway was relatively quiet. Rooka knew from the past anniversaries that his parents would still be in their chambers, so he was surprised to see his father in the office.
Khalid looked at his eldest son. Although he had accepted Wayne as his, this man standing at the open door of the office was his flesh and blood. The pain they have caused was not easy to forgive, but then again, if they did not do the decision, hundreds of alter babies would have been killed.
Father and son looked at each other. Weighing who should talk first, trying to form the words on how to explain the events that lead them up to this point.
“Alpha Rooka,” Lem s
Not having clothes to wear was starting to get Megan and Serena's nerves. While Serena had been wearing Rooka's clothes, Megan, on the other hand, had no problem wearing Nuru's. But Wayne… Let's just say he was not happy. His jackal was miffed. His jackal was jealous that she was wearing another person's clothes, but at the same time, happy that she was covered. The conflicting emotions of his beast cause the man to be grumpy. To think that they have only been in Egypt for twenty-four hours. Between their arrival, the fight, the party, and the… Serena stopped her thoughts from going further. She would blush every time she remembered what had happened the night before. There were more important things to think about other than that. She remembered their opponents and how Rooka did his “Earthbending”. A smile broke out on her lips, at the same time Rooka looked at her.  
"France," said Rooka. "There is a gala that we need to attend. This will be a good chance to introduce yourself to the Pantera Nation."After a quick nap and pizza snack, they were back in the Manor. His mother was not pissed at him, and it looked like his mate and her best friend were okay…for now.“Gala?” Serena asked, seated beside Megan, they were busy playing ‘XOX’. Childish? Yes, but looking at how serious they were at it he could not help but grin. Megan and Serena were two very different women, yet they complemented each other. “Are you talking about the Annual Pantera Gala?”“Yes, that one.”“Damn, I forgot about that.” She shook
"When did Megan learn how to fight?" Rooka asked, they were back in his house. After the sparring session with Megan, he hauled her back to his car and drove away. Both of them were in his tub. He was behind playing with the bubbles floating around them. Serena was not expecting Rooka to prepare a bubble bath, much less join her. The warm water helped relaxed her tired muscle from sparing and from the number of times they had sex. It was a bonus that he also knew how to massage. She leaned back and let him work his magic. "We were like eleven years old when dad taught us," Serena began. "My dad gave us boxing lessons. Megan would be at my house, and like clockwork, every six in the evening till seven, we would have a boxing match. By the time we were eighte
"We will be landing at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport in about eight hours."Ted said via the overhead speaker. They were in the air again, after a two-day stopover at Dahab, they were once again, on their way to the Werewolf Nation stronghold in Scotland. However, they need to attend the Annual Pantera Gala in Monaco. They were headed to Paris because Rowena’s friend was a prominent designer and will be having a runway show. It was, after all, Fashion Week. Serena was looking out the window, while Rooka was on the other side of the plane, doing whatever a CEO does. Wayne, Nuru, and Kaz were also busy reading business reports. Layla was in the cockpit with the bears, and Megan was sitting across Serena reading a book. The only Sparks with them was Lem, who was sitting on the other side of the window where Rena was. “Is there something wrong princess?” asked Lem.“Why do you call me ‘Princess?'"“Because you are.”“How?”Lem was qui
"Zahir, is that you?" Khalid asked. He and his mate just got back from the airport to say goodbye to their sons. They were not worried, but as a parent, they made sure to see them off, even if the trip would be a day or two. The young man in question, removed his shades and smiled at the older man. Silver-green eyes, met whiskey-colored ones, the same shade of eyes just like his son. "Uncle Khalid," Zahir greeted, he bowed and hugged him after. "It's good to see you again." Khalid, patted his back before touching their foreheads, for a quick prayer. Once that was done, Zahir looked at Seraphina and kissed her checks. "Your
Paris was one of those cities that Serena enjoyed visiting with her family. This was the first trip to her favorite place without them. And the first one as the Alpha of the Asian Region. With Megan beside her, they strolled inside the lobby of Europe Hotel Paris Eiffel. When they reached the front desk, they were greeted with a smile. “Welcome back, Sir Rooka,” the woman behind the desk said with a warm smile. “Here is the key to your suite, will there be anything else?”Serena and Megan could not help but look at Rooka, he smiled and pulled Serena. “Yes,” he told the woman, “is there name under Daire in your records?” he asked. An absent-minded kiss was dropped on her forehead. Then he whispered, “you okay?”Serena nodded. There was something about this particular apartment that made her feel nostalgic. She got her answer when the receptionist said, “Yes, there is. The room next to yours Sir Rooka is named for Serena Daire.” Serena closed her eyes. They
"Dragons?" That was all Megan could say. The idea that dragons were real was amazing, and … surreal. To think that dragons are real was something no one has ever thought possible. "Yes, bhe, dragons." Serena replied. There was a teasing tone in her voice. She and Megan had this fascination on dragon. It was a no brainer that she read books that are based on dragons. For Serena, they were mystical. Knowing that they do exists was something close to having her own fairy tale. "So, your seal is broken. The kids are awake, and then what?" Asked Wayne. There was a note of skepticism in his voice. "We let them be with them," Serena replied. She was looking down at the busy streets of Paris. But her mind was over the things that she learned. Fae, dragons, and children that can destroy the world. And she has a mate. Serena sighed. She may have Rooka, but she cannot help but feel something was missing. Like a puzzle piece that was there but cannot never have that right slot to fit into.
"Are you okay, Rena?" Nuru asked. The sudden questions made Serena smile. Nuru was the troublemaker in the group for him to notice something wrong was so, rare. "Trouble in paradise?" he added. Nuru, Layla, Megan, and Serena were still at the hotel. They were still trying to figure out what they were going to do for the day. Something was off with the alpha pair, it was suitable, but it was there. He had known Rooka for a long time, and even though they were the same age as the Rowena, Rooka had always been for there younger pack member. He may be the leader, but Nuru was their elder brother. So, the tension between them was affecting them too. "I'm okay, Nuru. Try not to worry too much about me. I just had too much new shit that has been happening. With our bond rebuilding, it kinda overpowers everything." Serena replied. Exhaustion could be heard in her voice, a clear sign that she was not resting that much. Bedside, Rooka was rather demanding. "Yeah, all the sex…" Megan said in
