Sera stepped in and cautiously began to explore the cave. It was large and warm, and it somehow looked lively which was not at all what she expected.There were hand planted flowers that were delicately grown in several parts like someone was decorating the cave.But what caught her attention the most was a couple of intricate drawings and— carvings that decorated the walls. She stepped closer and saw that they depicted werewolves engaged in various unfamiliar advanced looking training exercises, and the sight intrigued her.She slowly ventured deeper and she stumbled upon a collection of old books and notes, their slightly yellowed pages revealed that they had been studied religiously.She picked a few books up and almost screamed with disbelief when she read their titles.“Ascension of the Omega”.“Unlocking your full potential.”“Release of the inner wolf”“Power upgrade for dummies!”“Kira! Can this be real?” Sera exclaimed to her wolf. “Did the goddess just send me books that wou
Sera sat upright and cross-legged on the cool floor of the cave, her eyes were closed,… and her mind focused on her breathing. She had been practicing— her meditation diligently, and today was not going to be any different. “Breath in.. Breathe out.” As she inhaled and exhaled, she felt a calming presence bloom within her, guiding her through her breaths. "Good, keep going," Kira, her inner wolf, spoke softly in her mind. "Breathe deeply, let the energy flow through you and surround your womb." Sera followed Kira's guidance feeling a zing of powerful energy zap through her. As she continued to breath… she focused on her twins. she could hear their heartbeats, synchronized and steady, powerful and strong.Kira, used her unique abilities to scanned their well-being."You're doing great, Sera. You and your twins are strong," Kira assured her. Sera smiled softly as she realized that her connection with her inner wolf had grown a thousand times stronger than before."Thank you, Kira,"
As soon as the man hurled her into the cave, he stepped away from her with his hands up, like he was telling her he wouldn’t hurt her. But Sera was beyond pissed … and scared… This unknown man had just attacked her, tied her up and had apparently been spying on her! He had to die!She quickly sprang away from him and with Kiras help in her mind, she quickly slipped her hands out of the poorly tied ropes he had used to bind her arms. To be honest...With the way he tied the ropes, it didn’t seem like he was actually trying hard to incapacitate her—- it felt like he was just trying to restrain her a little. Once her hands where free, she picked up another sharp stick as a weapon and glared up at him with fury. "Wh-who are you? How long have you been following me?" Sera demanded, trying to keep her voice steady. The man took a hesitant stepped forward, his face half-hidden by the hood and shadows. Sera quickly took a frightened step backwards ..”Stay away from me!” She screeched. Th
On several occasions, Sera even found herself laughing at his jokes. When had he become so funny?When they weren’t gathering food, Lucas would often show her some tricks to help amplify her newly found werewolf abilities, like her super strength. And he was often shocked at how quickly she learnt and mastered each trick"Alright, watch this,.. Lucas said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He picked up a large rock, which was almost as tall as he was, then he effortlessly tossed it into the the air and kicked it into a tree.Sera's eyes widened in amazement as the rock soared high above them. "Woah—Wow, that's incredible!" she exclaimed. Lucas chuckled. "Well, you have the strength too. You just need to believe in yourself an let go of any doubts holding you back." Sera took a deep breath, focusing her energy. She picked up another another large rock, and flung it into the air before kicking it. It went even farther than Lucas's, but it completely broke the tree."I did it!" Sera
As the days continued to pass, Lucas continued to bring food for Sera, but he didn't try to get close to her. Instead, he would just leave the food at a distance, respecting the space she needed. But every now and then, he would glance in her direction and his blue eyes would fill up with a mix of hope that she would soon dash with her silence.One evening, as the sun began to set, Lucas approached the cave once again, carrying a basket of fruits and vegetables. He set it down and took a step back, watching her from a distance.... Like she was a vulnerable animal he didn't want to spook off."I hope you're doing well, Sera," he called out softly. "I'll be here whenever you're ready to talk or if you need anything." Sera felt her heart soften at his words, and she observed that despite how cold she had been to him lately, he was still here, patiently waiting for her. Maybe, just maybe, there was a chance for them to find ther way back to each other. "Thank you, Lucas," she called bac
"Alistair!" Grace's voice pleaded."No!" he grunted in response."Alistair please!""….I can't," Alistair replied as his voice cracked with thick emotion. "Please stop asking Grace… I can't marry another woman just so I can have an heir. I promised to move on... not just forget about her Grace. She's a part of me. I can't imagine replacing her in my life with some random stranger." "I understand that, Alistair… believe me I do," Grace said gently. "But you have to think about yourself too. You're the king and with the defeat of the elders you are the ONLY ruler, and so the kingdom needs you to secure the succession of the throne. You can't let your pain ruin what you already know is true. The kingdom needs an heir!." Alistair looked away… grimacing with discomfort, at the truth of her words.But his heart was torn between his love for Sera an his duty to the kingdom. "Don’t you think I’ve tried Grace? … I tried to think logically but I-I don't know how to do that," he admitted."Ever
The days in Lucas's cave had become surprisingly comfortable for Sera. Lucas had been taking very good care of her, making sure she was well-fed and constantly checking her health. He had brought her an abundance of delicious food, including fruits rich in vitamin C, which he agreed with Kira was essential for her an the babies. Sera couldn't help but be surprise by this caring almost maternal side of him. Had he always been like this?"Lucas… gosh! …you're spoiling me... Does anyone else know that you could be such a mum?," she teased one afternoon as he placed yet another plate of fresh berries in front of her. He grumbled a few curses under his breath at her description of him."No, i'm only like this with you and if you ever tell anyone about this I'll deny it! oh and make sure you finish that one, you're eating for 3."She chuckled and took a bite of a juicy berry. "I promise I'm eating enough," she said. "You don't have to worry so much. "Sorry." He sighed. "But I can't help i
Morning seemed to come very early the next day. It was the D-day. The day had come for Sera and Lucas to return to the gut-wrenching-tummy-churning Silver Moon Pack. The same pack that had humiliated and hurt her so many times before. The same pack that laughed when she was insulted and abused. The same pack that cheered when her mate cruelly left her for Amelia.Now she was going back to them.Sera almost puked at thought and Lucas was quick to notice.“Heyyy, it’ll be alright Sera. I promise. It’ll be different this time.” Lucas assured as he took her hand in his tightly and they began to make their way through the thick forest. “O-oh don't worry, i'm fine. It was just morning sickness. I’m feeling better already.” Sera lied. Lucas didn't look convinced so she tried to think happy thoughts that would ligthen her moon.But No matter how she tried, she really couldn't stop herself from feeling more than a little bit anxious—actually she felt like a train wreck—How would the silver
