I gazed into the pool which was lit by the million stars overhead, Ajax annoying voice replaying in my head.‘My duty was to bring forth heirs’I wheeled my chair closer to the pool, a ball of heat rising in my tummy and wondered if I could go for a swim in my condition.I shouldn't try it.Ajax could inform the maids or guards not to save me and inform the Alpha and people of the tragic death of their Luna by morning.I bit my lips, staring quietly into the still pool and pondered on the idea of consummation.Mother used to tell me that she and father disliked each other during the early months of t
Sera“I can't do this, Zuri. I can't even concentrate!” I whined, feeling a strain around my wrists as they hoovered around the cup of water.“Try again! This is the simplest and only way I know you can use to activate your powers.If you can't manage this, then you're entirely useless.” She retorted.I bit my lips, a dark glare coming over my eyes which I immediately blinked off.My lips parted as I took in a deep whiff of dry air and exhaled slowly before placing my hand over the cup.Her instructions played in my head: visualize the power flowing through your bloodstream, gently moving towards the tip of your fingers.Imagine lifting the water from the glass with the powers and moulding it into a ball.Sounds simple enough except I could hardly visualize anything with the image of Alaric's dead parents room flashing through my head.Focus Sera! I bit my lips till I tasted blood, closed my eyes slowly and began to visualise.What would I love my power to look like? The colour assoc
Sera“How many years has this structure been in place?”We were now making our way back into the house after Sorrel had taken me for a quick tour through the gardens, the stables that raised a number of purebred horses, and a green house which he said belonged to Alaric's mom.Now my eyes were fastened to the gargoyles placed at the centre of the compound, spitting sparkling water from its mouth.“It dates back to the early hundreds. After years of being prosecuted by the rest of the world, the ancestors discovered this land, paid a healthy sum for it and named it shadow lair.”“Then werewolf refugees started arriving, gradually filling up the town below and the name was changed to Wolf Noir pack.” Sorrel explained.I leaned back into my chair, nodding slowly as I was wheeled up the ramp and to the patio.“Do you care to explore inside?” He asked.“Yes.” The guard pulled the door open and we weaved through.He started the tour from the numerous visitor rooms that lined the entry corr
Sera The air felt sucked out of the room. I couldn't move but I felt my body recoil from him.Warning bells chimed in my head, my breath hitched and a loud thumping echoed from my chest.It wasn't a question. He was sure of it. Did Zuri reveal herself by mistake? “Zuri..” I gasped inside.“I didn't. I'm as shocked as you are.” She answered.“You don't need to grill her. Her concealment is iron clad, just not iron clad enough against me.” Alaric answered and took my food in his hands.With gentle and firm fingers, he began to massage them, moving upwards then coming down again.“I don't know what you're talking about.” I answered and tried to pull my foot away.He slapped my hands off and continued massaging them.I could almost imagine the feeling of his fingers on my legs, limbing higher with each minute before trialing back down.Maybe this would restore feelings in my legs faster.“You don't have to lie, Sera.” He replied.“I'm not. I really don't know what you’re talking abou
SeraMorning came with only one thought in mind: Find something to keep myself busy with.Preferably something to keep out of Alaric’s sight and soothe my chest from the burning anger that still remained from the previous night.By the time a maid stepped into my room to help with my morning activi
SeraI gritted my teeth and curled my fingers around the wheels to stop us from moving.“I don't need your help. Just like I didn't need it earlier.” I choked out.“I know you don't. I'm just feeling generous.” He answered.I could almost hear the smile in his words.“Oh. One would have thought you
SeraMy eyes parted and I found myself still surrounded by darkness.A panic bubbled up in my throat as I thought I had also lost my sight before I recalled where I was.Where I was thrown into.I lifted my head which felt like two men swinging sledge hammers inside and looked in the direction I as
SeraThe scraping of the door as it was shut echoed in my ears and I was plunged into a darkness far greater than anything I had ever experienced.I prodded my chair forward, but I barely had any sense of direction.A foul scent that seemed to be wafting from all angles assaulted my nose and made m
