LOGINDarius It was a family gathering and I was yet to wrap my fingers around the fact that my father, my mom, and my two brothers were back.They were here looking back at me waiting for me to say something. “How long has it been? 14 years? Wow! Who could have ever thought that this day would come?” My little brother said and I see that not even being a forsaken could take away his little energy.This seemed strange. I know I had worked towards this but it still seemed surreal to have them here staring at me. “How have you been son? Has life been kind to you? Have you been holding on well?” Dad asked but I did not have words to tell him. I was still excited, numbed and bummed by the fact that they were here! They were finally here!“Did you get married? Do we have grandchildren now? How many?” Mom asked, bringing tears to my eyes. “Bro it's unlike you to be so quiet. Are you okay? What happened? How are we here? Wasn't us being infected supposed to kill us? How come then we are here
Darius “So, tell me, how is the progress?" I asked Dr Magnus as we sat in the boardroom discussing the way forward after we had healed those he and the other doctors had been responsible for.“Maybe just continue with my research and just continue helping from the shadows.You know that I don't work well with others and it won't be good for me to join our main hospital or even the others in the human world.For example, why don't I continue with the research on cancer drugs for the children's hospital you started in Asia.That would really help, isn't it?” Dr Magnus said and I hummed a reply."Oh, before I forget, Serena has asked you for the multivitamins and folic acid you had been giving her. She said that she took me to the Vale Mansion because she had the help of the witches there and they were dealing with black magic and you know those witches don't feel safe among werewolves. So, she hasn't been able to take any meaningful drugs. Just the herbs the witches were concocting,” I
Darius “So, what you are trying to say is that you suspect two people? Either Dr Magnus or the old one?” I ask her finally after she has finished telling me everything and I didn't know that she had to go through so much just to get me better.And the fact that she had to face the enemy all alone while I was in bed helpless. That irks me and I wish I could kill the bitch that did that to me all over again."How about Jose? Do you suspect him?" I ask her and she shakes her head.“Not really. The reason why is because he has never given me anything to take or drink and spent most of the time with those two.Also, it was Dr Magnus who came up with the idea that I should be taking multivitamins and folic acid for the growth of the babies and so…” she added and it all made sense."What I don't understand is why he would do such a thing? What did he intend to gain?” She asks and I have a few theories."Before my parents got sick, they were like bffs with the Magnuson family," I say and she
Serena“Darius? You are back!" I said as I stood up and ran to his arms unable to hide my excitement.“How are you feeling?" I asked as I squeezed my small body into his and he hugged me back.Gosh! How I had missed his warmth and being in his big arms.“I… I think I am well. Can't feel anything wrong with me.Where are we?” He asked me and I broke the hug and looked at him."You don't know how happy I am to see you. Goodness! I missed you so much,” I said as I hugged him again."And I you. I missed you and I guess I can understand how you feel if you missed me even half of what I did," he says and I smile.My Darius was, is, back!“Oh, sorry. Say hi to the others. We are in the Vale mansion. They have helped me renovate it and we have been here for almost a week now," I say and he looked around.“Hey guys?" He greets and Heremuah walks towards us and hugs him.“Never scare me like that again," Heremuah says and Darius doesn't say anything but I can see the emotions in his eyes.“I am
SerenaIt took me a full two weeks to finally be done with the brewing of the medicine.Apparently, Mei couldn't take me through the time loops because my body couldn't take it and the ‘grace’ (that was what she called whatever it was that she put in me when she kissed me) wasn't mature enough to support my body.Apparently, there is a certain body type that couldn't go through the motions of time manipulation and she didn't want to take that risk with me and neither did I seeing that I was pregnant.So, I took my time making the concoction.I couldn't entrust anyone else with its making since this was a sensitive thing.Kang was helping in his way by eating any nightmares Darius might have and that would make his resting more peaceful.Mei stayed with us all through as she said that she was on a sabbatical and her folks and siblings back home and the others of her race would man things for a while.“They really don't need me and you do and so, I will stay a while with you if you don'
Serena“Serena, come out now," I heard someone calling me and I opened my eyes.I had even forgotten where I was and I had also fallen asleep before Darius and it was so comfortable.I opened my eyes and Mei was standing there smiling down at me.I was startled because I didn't expect anyone to be able to break the barrier I had put but it seemed as if I was forgetting who this woman was. She was a Djinn dragon and had been around for hundreds of years.“Mei, you are back?” I asked her as I stood up.Looking at Darius, he was sound asleep and I felt bad waking him up and so, I didn't. He had been through so much hell and the least I could do was to allow him to rest peacefully.“How's he?" She asked me and I shrugged.“I had to pull him out of a nightmare and he hadn't rested since he was hit. It seemed as if whoever did this was killing him slowly from the inside," I explained as I looked tenderly at his sleeping form.“This is ancient magic that had been locked for centuries and it
SerenaI was there in that cell for four days and nights if my mathematics weren't wrong.Since I was bored after I had expunged the poison out of me, I started counting the hours and minutes I was there.I knew I was off and there would be an error because I had been unconscious at the beginning a
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
