MasukSerenaI fell asleep in his hands after that and I didn't even notice when he cleaned me.I woke up to him wrapping me in a heavy down jacket and to my surprise, I wasn't in the hospital gown anymore but had been dressed in loose cotton pants and white socks.“Hey?" I called him and my voice came out croaked.“Did I wake you up? Sorry. Are you ready to go home?" He asked me and hell yeah! “Oh, we are going home? Finally!" I beamed and yawned.“Hold on. We will be home in less than an hour and then you can sleep some more," he said and I smiled.I couldn't wait to smell our own bed and the fresh green of the area we lived in.I didn't even know where this hospital was located and I didn't hate it but I just wanted to feel grounded.Home would make me feel that.He lifted me up in both his arms and then tucked me inside the big jacket he was wearing and used his hands to zip it up as I held onto his neck and back.After that, we walked outside and no one said anything and all they did w
Serena“Darius, baby, let's go home. This hospital is making me sicker.Let's just go home and you guys can take care of me there,” I said to the man who, two days later, had still been holding me.After that break down, I woke up feeling lighter and much better.I had made a decision, I wanted to get better and get my revenge. Darius wasn't telling me what had happened but I knew that it had something to do with Kael, Alina and Elijah. The three people who wanted me dead for reasons I did not know.Now, it was time I found it inside me to get better and get my much needed revenge.How much would they take from me before they stopped?I was done being their door mat.“Are you sure, isn't it better if you stayed here and let the doctors look after you?" Darius asked but I was done doing the pity party."No. Let us go home and I will get better from there. All they do here is change my bandages and that's all. We can do that at home, can't we?" I asked him but he didn't answer.It was
SerenaI looked at him… He looked at me……And for what felt like an actual eternity, time came to a screeching halt and suddenly stood still. I could only see Darius' eyes, those sad honey-glazed hellfire eyes that looked at me as if feeling everything tearing my insides apart, as if sharing that anguish and wanting to banish it.His throaty voice shushing me and soothing me echoed all around making me feel safe.How big bear hands made me more secure than I had felt in years.I didn't understand why he was still with me even after everything that had happened but I was glad that he was here.I reached out to those eyes, to that voice, to the one trying to soothe me.Fingers the color of snow touched those dark, scalding cheeks covered with coarse hair. He hasn't shaved in what looked like weeks.My face screwed up again involuntarily and I pushed myself up, wrapping my arms around his neck and burying my face against it, pressing my face against his pulse, my lips right over his ju
SerenaI have never cried as hard as I cried on that bathroom floor in any of my years long past. Even when Kael beat me for nothing and banished me, even when mama died, even when the Ironfang Pack tried to kill me, I have never felt such pain.It was ripping apart and I hated it and I couldn't help myself and I hated it even more.After Darius came, I could see that he was tired and hadn't slept well and so, I asked him to cuddle with me and he agreed.What he didn't know was that it was him I wasted to rest. And rest he did because a few minutes in my arms and he was a goner.Everyone else had left us and I knew that no one would come in unless he went out first or he called out for them and that was why when I woke up with the need to go to the toilet and change the pad I was wearing, I didn't wake him up and decided to walk to the bathroom by the help of the wall and help myself.I had decided to start exercising this early and maybe, one day, life would be kind to me and give m
SerenaThat was when it dawned on me that Darius was hiding from me because he was feeling guilty. If I read his emotions right, he must have been blaming himself for me getting hurt and for the reason why I wasn't healing.I decided not to think about it and not to mention it to him when he came and to just go with the flow.But what I promised myself was that I was going to do all it took to make sure that I would get well.Heck! I had to.What with all the plans I had?I needed to look for the Vale's book of medicine, heal his parents and all those who had been turned, kill Elija, start rebuilding the Vale clan and I hadn't even married him yet.I needed to marry him and give us both children to carry over our legacy.So, I needed to be strong for both of us.“Luna, let's go. Do you want me to carry you?" The woman who had gone for the slippers came back and put the slippers on the floor near my feet that had been newly bandaged."Isn't walking better so that I can start learning e
SerenaThe doctor spent a good while stretching me… yes, literally, in different ways.He kneaded my thighs and calves and even my butt and the base of my spine with his fingertips, looking for abnormalities in my bone structure and joints, but given that he said nothing other than the occasional "turn around" or "bend" I didn't think he found anything amiss.It was awkward, though.I mean, really, how could it not be when he had to touch me so much and he was a man whereas I was woman?It was only when he stepped back that I allowed myself to relax."All right," he said, straightening his coat. "Try taking a few steps forward."I swallowed hard, then took a deep breath and tried to do so to the best of my abilities. It came as a horrible surprise to discover that I couldn't stretch either of my legs as far as I used to because my ability to bend them at the knees was far more limited than I had been expecting.I would have fallen over and hurt myself had the girl with me not seen it
Serena I still didn't know what the Lycan King wanted from me but first thing first.“Darius, so, tell me, do you agree to take me as part of your pack? If you want, we could perform the ceremony any time," I asked him because he still hadn't answered me.“I may not have much to bring into your pa
Darius “Are you okay?" I asked her as I finally landed on the plantation.I had wanted to get her out of there as soon as I could and using vehicles would mean giving someone a chance to tail us.At least I knew I was the fastest werewolf on these sides of the continent and even all around the con
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
