Chapter 38 – The Quest
Serena
It only took a short invitation for Adamar and Adaen to join us. They loved this kind of quest and in addition, they thankfully knew already who this fae hermit was. They said that he used to serve King Alduin before the realms were born and possessed a status of High Elder. He underwent an enlightenment journey too, but came out more than enlightened. He decided to live on his own thereafter. King Alduin gave him freedom, despite how indispensable the man was.
I was surprised they know that much detail about him while I didn’t. I grew up in Ehnrelil too, but I hadn’t heard this kind of story from my mother, the other elders, or my fellow trainees.
“You forget, our mother is a High Elder, Serena,” was what they explained.
But of course, Lady Hanhenna... She existed as old a

Chapter 39 – Meeting the HermitAeroCall me overprotective. I don’t care. This is what I am, especially when dealing with my wife and my children.This quest, I expected, would lead us to danger in one way or another. Honestly, I wanted Serena safe and sound inside our castle instead, but she fuels me. She gives me inspiration. She pushes me to move forward, find my mother, and be done with it. Selfish as it may, I needed her presence in this quest.Luckily, so far, we encountered no danger as we trekked the fields and hills of Elaga. I expected Geraden’s foolhardy supporters waiting to avenge him, or maybe Sattus’s baby-eating monsters to attack us, but neither of these groups appeared.Instead, I came face to face with an Amazonian-wannabe woman whose spiky and likely poisoned-tipped arrows directed our ch

Chapter 40 - His BloodAeroWe didn’t stay any longer inside Calahiem’s cave. We hopped realms to Earth, to Florida specifically under Serena’s lead. I was cool with it since she was with me; however, my attention wandered to the people who came with us: Elijah, who joined us when we were at Ehnrelil’s plaza where a portal to Earth was nearby, Adamar who looked consciously silent since he returned to our group, and that woman—his so-called true mate who disappointingly joined us.Whatever happened between them during the time they left us, I could only imagine. But it definitely changed Adamar’s mood. With his poker face on, I couldn’t tell what he was feeling, but I was sure of one thing: this ship was a mistake.I could say this because he kept on tossing the woman glances during our travel—longingly, might I add&mdas

Chapter 41- Awkward ReunionSerenaThe ease of which we found Aero’s real mother, I could deem lucky, but I never thought it would all lead us back to Earth. For a daughter of the Alpha and Luna of the Bastion Pack, why would she hide on Earth? Or was this where she was banished by King Gideon?High Elder Geraden never spoke of the reasons after he gave us her address. Said that it was hers to share. He wanted to let Aurora accompany us though, for safety reasons he said, but I had a feeling the reason was far deeper than this. He was too secretive, too vague. I sensed something odd that instant.This was verified when we finally saw Donna.I was ecstatic to meet her, but I didn’t expect this kind of twist. Aero had a half-sister, and this time, it wasn’t some made-up truth. By blood, they were truly related.

Chapter 42 – A Mother’s SacrificeSerenaAn audible gasp escaped from my mouth, and I raced to cover it with my hand. I heard Elijah and Adamar wince. I saw Donna stiffen. Aero himself was frozen, his eyes constricted with surprise.“How dare you speak to our mother like that!” Aurora shouted, shooting daggers through her eyes as she stood face to face with Aero.The latter growled and returned her glares with equal force. “You don’t have the right to talk to me like that or slap me! I am your alpha king! I hold power over you!”“You are my brother first!” she cried out, her eyes welling up with tears. “And I implore you to listen. Our mother, she’s in pain too! Our mother suffered too!”I held Aero’s right elbow to stabilize him. Make him feel that

Chapter 43 – Making WavesSerenaThe next day, Aero seemed to be back to his normal self—at least by my standards. We made love in the morning, he did his alpha king duties after lunch and we made love again in the afternoon. He didn’t open the subject about Donna and Aurora, and neither did I.We didn’t need to. I could sense his fragile heart slowly mending, accepting them. He just needed more time, more understanding, and more patience. Eventually, he would fully welcome them into his life and I was certain that would happen, maybe not now, but soon.Since our quest was over, I returned to my luna duties too, and this involved preparing for the annual harvest celebration of Phanteon to be held this evening. This would be my first time attending to such an event, so I felt excited about it. In addition, Aero and I planned to announce my preg

Chapter 44 – A Turn of EventsSerena“I am no son of a majestic, respectable alpha king,” Aero continued. “I am a son of a scheming, ruined alpha king. I have recently uncovered the truth about my father, King Gideon, and my so-called mother, Queen Olivia. She is not his true mate, and she is not my real mother.”A collective gasp was heard from the audience, and their faces contorted with confusion. Elijah, who sat near the stage, tipped his chin down and placed a hand on his chest. He was urging my husband to continue, despite the fact that this will eventually demote him to a non-royal. He was cool with it. He didn’t care.“Rhea is with me.” I remembered his words when we were still on our way to Donna’s house with the car he rented. “I’m complete with her. I don’t need a royal s

Chapter 45 – The Finding of the QueenAeroThe annual harvest celebration would have been the perfect way to reintroduce my real mother to my people, but I didn’t bother to invite her or my half-sister. I wasn’t ready to see them again. I needed time to process the truth; that instead of a half-brother, I now have a half-sister and instead of my mother all alone and exiled, she happily lived on Earth with a new partner.I felt happy for her. Really. She deserved this wonderful second chance at life. It was just me and my juvenile temper that needed to be appeased.Yesterday’s revelations were too much for me to bear. I was aware it clouded my mind and almost drove me berserk. Luckily, my salvation—Serena—remained by my side and kept me sane. She helped a great deal with my journey through healing. I wouldn’t be in control of

Chapter 46 – An Enemy of the KingdomSerenaDizziness and disorientation soared inside my head the moment I peeled my eyes open. I found myself in an unfamiliar bed inside a stuffy room, with no idea about the time or day, and with me, in an awkward position. My feet dangled at the edge of the bed and I lay on my side as if I was simply tossed in the mattress with no care for my delicate condition. My belly had grown three times its size in a matter of days. It was clear to see. Didn’t that matter for my captor?Slowly, I sat up and studied my prison. Yes, prison. I figured it as much after remembering how swift and sneaky I was kidnapped. I didn’t even notice the danger I was in while I was inside the backstage room. Aero didn’t even sense it because if he did, he would have alarmed me or curb the sinister plan himself. As to how my kidnapper did this feat, I cou
