Mag-log inSerenaThe forest was thick and treacherous and we didn't know it. We were going in blind and I think that was why it was easy to be targets of these barbarians.Also, Agatha and I couldn't smell anything seeing that there was a lot of undergrowth, different tree species than we were used to, several streams and several animals, birds and insects.All these smells were so confusing and before one could place one smell, another one would come up and …When I heard Agatha shout at me to watch out and push me, I automatically made a shield around us as I fell.The arrow wheezed past me and if I hadn't been pushed, it was aimed at my chest.Others came hurtling towards us but thank goodness that I had made the shield and we were safe… for now.“They are here and we are surrounded," one of the guides who came with us said and fear was written on his face."They are unforgiving and they love human meat more than they love any other type of meat," the other one added and I could see regret i
Darius The more I think about the human suffering in our world and my desire to offer a healing response, the more I realize how crucial it is not to allow myself to become paralyzed by feelings of helplessness and guilt. More important than ever is to be very faithful to my vocation, to do well the few things I am called to do and hold on to the joy and peace they bring me. I must resist the temptation to let the forces of darkness pull me into despair and make me one more of their many victims.Henri NouwenI am not a reader but this is one of the quotes I have been remembering and I read it somewhere in a psychology book when I was trying to work out what was happening with the forsaken.One thing about me is that I love being in the action. I love being among the doers. In my pack, I literally lead by example.That is why I have more degrees than I care to count and I have gotten all of them from human universities and others from our few universities scattered around the world.H
SerenaI woke up with a bitter taste lingering in my mouth, my eyes slowly fluttering open to find Poppy leaning over me, a concerned expression on her face."Thank goodness you're awake!" She exclaimed, her relief palpable. "After you didn't wake up for two days, we used our magic to look inside you. You had been poisoned. Who dared poison you? Don't they fear their Lycan King anymore?” She asked me as she touched my face as if she wasn't sure that it was me.I looked at Poppy as my mind tried to remember why she would be here and then it all came pouring in after a while: the dream I had of the five children (was that even real), me getting ready in a huff and locking Dr Magnus out and creating a portal to the Black mansion.But what did the children tell me?I couldn't remember but it seemed to be something important and that was why I ran away with Darius.I couldn't trust anyone with taking care of him.I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me and I heaved and he
Serena “What would she do without us?” I heard someone ask behind me and I wanted to turn but I couldn't.I was so tired and my belly was big. If I didn't know well, I would have thought that I was ten months pregnant with octuplets.I thus stood with difficulty and sighed. No, I heaved. You know, the way someone who has been carrying a huge load heaves after putting the load down? Yeah, that heaving.I then turned and my eyes were met by ten pairs of the most beautiful things you have ever seen.There were four boys and one girl. The princess was standing in the middle and wait… they were identical. I mean identical in every way including hair colour, eye colour and even their facial features.Why did they…?“Hello cuties? And who might you be?" I asked them with the most beautiful smile I could conjure.“You are so beautiful," one of the boys said to me with stars in his eyes.“Well, thank you. So are you. Oh, I mean, you are so cute. I could eat you," I said with pouting lips as i
Serena“Giraldo and Frutos grew together with their father's guidance and all was well until their father died. They had taken wives, don't ask me from where since that's another story, and had gotten children.Giraldo had nine sons and Frutos had four sons and four daughters and that's where the problem began.The land they had tamed and cultivated wasn't enough for all of them and Giraldo claimed that since he was the one with many sons, he deserved the larger share of their father's land but Frutos also claimed that they were both their father's sons and they deserved equal shares.This in fighting went on for years until one day, Frutos couldn't take it any more.He told Giraldo that they should fight and whoever wins will inherit the whole land and the other one must leave with his family and find somewhere else to settle.They fought.Legend has it that the fight lasted five days and nights but eventually, Frutos was badly injured and he lost.He thus had to keep his word and h
SerenaThis was the most treacherous trial I have ever been in and I hated it. And to make matters worse, my pregnancy decided that it was time it reminded me that I was pregnant.So, I was having these unexplained headaches, nausea, I was surprised that I hadn't vomited all my innards out and I was weak.In fact, we were supposed to be back home by today but we didn't and I had to go back home and stay for a while.But I had left Agatha to make sure that the village was okay and that no vamos remained.She was also to make sure that using our influence, a police post was to be built in the area or at least make sure that there were guards in the village at all times.I knew that human guards with Darius guns filled with bullets with bullet powder which was lethal to humans wouldn't do anything to the vampires or any supernatural creature that might decide that these people were very far away from civilization and they can make a home for themselves there the way those vamps had and s
SerenaI froze in my tracks, my heels rooted to the ground as my mind struggled to process what I had just heard.Me? An impersonator?How?I looked at them, and it felt like everything was moving in slow motion as they advanced toward me. My brain scrambled, trying to make sense of the scene unfol
SerenaThe forest behind Ironfang was the same as I remembered; wild, ancient, whispering with secrets only wolves could hear but under the moonlight, walking beside the Lycan King, it felt… different.Dangerous.I’d expected Darius Wolfe to be arrogant, cold, maybe even cruel, every rumor about hi
SerenaAfter leaving Kael behind, grunting in frustration, I headed back toward the ballroom smiling. I didn't know what was up with the Lycan King but I was sure glad that someone was putting Kael in his place.“Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you.”Valen appeared beside me, his sharp
SerenaI left that corridor and went to the veranda behind the alpha's house for I needed a breather but I guess someone has been watching and following me.“Serena?" Hearing his voice again, I felt something bitter rise and clog my throat. Slowly, I turned around, forcing a smile onto my lips. A
