The ringing wouldn’t stop, it rang on and on and it was disturbing. I could feel it in my head, and the distant voices that were calling me.
Was this another nightmare?I covered my ears with my hands as the sound persisted in my head.“Wake up! Sera.” The warm hand touched me and I flinched.“Sera. Wake up!”Immediately I flapped my eyes open and glared at the alarm that was ringing beside my head, I swept it off the bedside table with my hand.What happened to me?My hands went to my neck and felt it with my hands, how could I be alive?Was I dreaming?I pinched my side to be sure of the reality that I was alive, I sat up on the bed and stared at my body. There were no blood stains, and I was in a nightie.It was a dream and I had just woken up from it.“What’s wrong, Sera? You’re acting strange.” The voice which I was so familiar with spoke beside me with his hand stretched out to touch me, I moved back away from him.Why did he sound so worried about me?“What is wrong my love?”I scoffed and tied my hair behind my head.“I was trying to wake you up, today was the big day. We promised to visit your father after the mating ceremony. We have to go visit him today and you overslept so I had to wake up. Oh dear, I’m sorry if that had upset you. You know I won’t do anything to hurt you, my love.” Logan took my hands and clasped them over his.“I love you so much, I would never hurt or do anything for you, my love. You know I would protect you with my life.” He placed a kiss on my hand. I withdrew them back away from him and surreptitiously wipe them off behind me.“Sera, honey. I have prepared your bath, Do you want to have your breakfast in bed or do you want to eat with me in the dining?”“Logan?” I furrowed my brows at me.What was happening?That fact that Logan had killed me, was it all a dream?“Yes, it’s me, my love.” He smiled sweetly at me and moved his hips closer to the bed.“Wait, my father?!” I poke a hand on my chest.My father was dead, we promised to visit my father after the wedding.After the wedding?!That was the mating ceremony.I snapped my head to Logan, he had the blue charms that I had fallen in love with since we were kids. The sheepish expressions he held, his boyish face, and those brown hairs, Logan's hair was black.The night after the wedding, five years ago it was our first night together and I bled. Logan had changed the bedsheets when I stood up to get a shower.It was my first time having sex so I would never forget it.I stood up from the bed to be sure of what I was feeling and if this was all true.“Sera, honey the bedsheets are stained.”‘Don’t worry, I’ll have it changed immediately.’ That should be his next words after he smiled at me.“Don’t worry, honey I’ll have it changed immediately.”I stepped backward away from Logan, my eyes brimming with tears. My hands reached out to my neck and I touched them.What happened to me?Logan wrapped the bedsheets in his hands and dumped them into the basket that was in the corner, he opened the wardrobe and was taking out a new bedsheet. He walked over to the bed and spread them appropriately on the bed.“I prepared a warm bath for you. You don’t want the water to become much cold. Come on now, go have a bath. Do you want me to wash you up?” He smirked and was approaching me.I moved back away from him until my back hits the wall.“We could spend a long time in here, and we might forget we have to see your father.” He lift my chin and I slapped his hands off.Logan was taken aback by my behavior.He looked shrewdly at me and his lips curled into a faux smile.“You should tell me you don’t want that, I wasn’t planning to hurt you.” He tried to touch me again, and I withdrew from him.“I want to be alone Logan.”“Is it because of last night? I was in...” he trailed off with an apologetic face.“It’s not because of last night or the night after or the night before just leave me alone, Logan leave me alone! Just go!” My lips quivered and the surface of my eyes was welled up in tears.“Seraphim.” Logan was stunned but then he nodded, grabbed the basket at the side of the room, and walked out.My legs gave in and I placed a hand over my mouth as I muffled my cries.Over the wall, there was a mirror, I rose slowly and twirled around and saw the red stain on the white nightgown I wore.I remembered the clothes, it was my mom’s gift to me before she passed I had to wear them on the night of my wedding.I dragged my feet closer to the mirror and I touched my face.This wasn’t a dream, my skin was soft and beautiful and my red-brown curly hair, I had straightened them after Logan asked me to, and it made me look ugly.It was the foolish me in my twenties when I had given up on college to get married to Logan.“I’m alive...I lived.” I muttered in the mirror and tears spilled out of my eyes.I hit my hand on my chest, it hurts so much.I fell on my knees.I was grateful to the moon goddess for this second chance, I don’t know that I had gone back in years, back to when I was twenty and a day after my wedding with Logan and was already mated and marked by him.Logan, Blair, and my stepmother. I clenched my fist.I’ll make you pay for what you did to me!“I have been reborn.”I stared at the mirror as I got dressed, my eyes were a bit red because I had cried earlier. I strengthened the floral dress with my hands and let my hair fall on my shoulders. I was going to see the father. I don’t know how I was going to react when I see him knowing he would die soon and this was the last time I visited him after I got married to Logan. I was going to change that, if father had been alive, I would never have ended that way. Even though he hated me, he would never let Logan kill his daughter.“Are you ready honey?” Logan called out to me and I crinkle my nose. He stood behind me, staring at himself in the mirror. “Do you think this suit is okay? Should I change? Do you like them, honey? What do you think of it?” He grinned sheepishly at me. I stepped away from the mirror when he wanted to wrap his arms around my shoulders. “What’s wrong, Sera? You’ve been acting weird.” He spun around to face me. “Did I do something wrong?” He stated a bit confused, his eyes ro
I shrink back from them, I couldn’t feel my wolf even when I called out to her. There was nothing, I felt nothing at all. My chest was becoming heavy. Why can’t I feel my wolf?“Dad?” Blair shouted and ran towards him, she flings her hands around him and made him lean, and helped him to sit. What happened to my wolf Mia?I clutched my chest tightly, I tried to reach her but it was like there was a force separating me from my wolf. I was about to walk round to meet my father when I bumped into Vivian and stepped on her toe. The teacup in her hands fell. “You witch!” She flared up at me, I was taken aback by her outburst and stared at the content of the tea that had spilled on the ground, it was greenish liquid. It was like green tea but wasn’t.“I’m sorry, Vivian,” I muttered. Vivian stepped closer to me and whispered. “You’re sorry, you know that’s why your mother died even though she was a witch. Witches don’t belong here.” I felt the coldness in her voice and the shivers tha
~Jamal Fernandez~ “Alpha.”I turned, flipping through the magazine in my hands. “You have been invited to the Moonlight Gala, for this year and this is the third time.” My Beta Sebastian said with his hands stretched out to me, his head was down and he was staring at his feet. “Here is your invitation card.”I took the card from his hand and dropped them on the table without having a glance through it. “I told them I am not interested in any social gathering.” I frowned and take up another magazine from the table. “But...Alpha, all the alphas all over the country will be there. It’s important...” His voice trailed off when he lifted his head slowly and caught me staring at him. “I told you I am not interested!” I growled and Sebastian bowed and nodded curtly. “Get out.” I walked towards the empty easy chair and took a seat with my legs crossed and was flipping the magazine. I’m still after the killer of my parents, the wolf that I must find and he has been on the run for year
~Seraphim~“Alpha Jamal.” I attempted to wipe the stains off his suit but he didn’t want me to come close to him. I didn’t bump into Jamal at the party five years ago, Father had introduced him to me but I did now because of my clumsy feet. “What are you?” He frowned and bared his teeth at him. I rolled my eyes. He has been a jerk right from the first time I met him and even after five years he never changed but became harsher and cold, I guess it was because he never found his mate even after five years. I shrugged, that was Jamal’s problem to deal with and it wasn’t mine but what I found disturbing was his stares. When he looked at me and pulled me into his arms. It was disturbing. “...Alpha Jamal. Oh, I’m sorry for what happened...” My father’s voice came out from behind us and he hurried down to meet Jamal. We both looked away from each other at the same time. “Accept my apologies, this is my eldest daughter. Seraphim, come on now.” Father dabbed over the back. My head
~Seraphim~“You love me, don’t you? I mean who wouldn’t, ain’t I beautiful and sexy?” I swayed my hair sideways and planted my hands on my hips with his suit jacket over my shoulders. Jamal laughed and moved his head sideways in amusement. He came back to me and lowered his head and stared intently at me with a sly grin. “You,” His head came down to the side of my neck and I could feel his breath against the exposed skin of my neck. “...crazy.” I gasped and watched with a scowl on my face. Jamal muffled his laugh. He straightened his back.“I, Alpha Jamal of Reverest Pack would never fall for someone like you.” He huffed and turned toward the direction of his Beta.Someone like me?What was wrong with me?‘Crazy.’I heard him mutter. I scoffed and stared at his receding figure until he was gone, even after five years, he hated me. I guess he stood by his words. “Sera. Father has been looking for you, it’s about time to introduce you and Logan. Come on.” Blair was grinning while
~Seraphim~“What do you want to tell me Sera?” He asked sitting back on the bed, I couldn’t think for a while. I wanted to get out of the room and think. Why was Vivian poisoning my father? And what kind of poison was it?Was that the reason he became so weak and later died?My father reached out to the teacup and I studied him as he drank from it and kept them back on the table.“Do you trust me, Dad?”He stared at me strangely, because of my question. “Mom died and you were the only one I have left. I don’t want to lose you too.”My tongue rolled over my lower lip and I wanted to explain in a way he would understand.“You won’t lose me, Sera. I know you blame me for your mother’s died but there wasn’t anything I could do.”“You left us when they came, you no longer pay attention to us. When mom became so weak, you had your back turned against us. I tried to talk to you but you won’t give me listening ears you were so occupied with your new family.” I was holding back from breaking
~Alpha Jamal~I received a message that the Alpha King wanted to see me. It was a message I couldn’t ignore even if I wanted to, he was the King and he wasn’t someone I could make come to me. I had to go to him and perhaps find a way to know about the attack on my family years ago. He was the Alpha King and it was an advantage to get closer to him and then I could get what I wanted, information.That was how I made my journey to the palace of the Alpha King with Sebastian, there were a lot of guards as expected but when I got into the house, there was hardly any servant around. His wife had been the one who greeted us at the door and led us in with a smile. “You love me don’t you?” Don’t be ridiculous!I snorted, why was I thinking of her again?‘Because you’re here in her house’ Draco came into my thoughts. ‘She can’t be here,’ I shake my head and followed Luna's direction. She has found her mate and she’s happy though she doesn’t seem happy at all. I thought finding a mate bri
~Seraphim~I opened the front door and headed out into the hallway. I was home, the house I lived in, with Logan.I sighed and took off my shoes, holding them in my hands as I made my way past one of the bedrooms and when I get close to mine. I heard a couple of distinct moans and grunts in the passionate throes of lovemaking and I froze.“Fuck, Blair, you’re so tight.” Logan sounded hoarse. I nudge the door over with my hand since it was slightly opened.“I don’t care, Logan...fuuck me harder!” She begged with heavy moans. I sniggered and took in a few breaths and then I exhaled slowly. It’s fine, Sera. Calm down.“Sera would be home soon.” Blair was almost breathless. “We would be done before she comes, you don’t have to worry about her. We would get rid of her soon.” Logan said without a single guilt in his eyes. “She’s been acting strange, did you think she does? She questions me and the way she stared at me, I feel intimidated by those gazes. And my mom said she had been sno
