52| Practical Problems
The more urgent and obvious problems surfaced once Serena had agreed to stay with Dorian. The first one was clothes. When the alpha showed her to her room, one opposite to his, she said, “Um...my clothes...I-” She was too embarrassed to say anything else.
Dorian cursed in his mind before mind linking Kyle. ‘Ask Viviane to call me.’ His beta acknowledged his order immediately. He looked at Serena and said, “I have some fresh clothes, you can use them for the time being. One of my pack members will be here soon, you can tell her what sort of clothes you want.”
Serena felt herself blush. She nodded jerkily while standing stock still near the doorway of what now would be her room. She watched Dorian walk into his room. She wanted to scream at her stupidity. Despite going through the ordeal and facing the most chaotic and

The Alpha's Golden-eyed Seer 53| the Mark's Unusualness
Serena frowned at the implication. Viviane’s face did not really convey anything good. The latter’s eyes flickered to her before they gravitated back to the mark. “Does it burn?” The former nodded slowly. “Yes, especially if...um...it’s touched.” She still felt awkward taking Dorian’s name and especially now. However, there was no teasing glint in the pack doctor’s eyes and neither did she tease her about it. Instead, she nodded somberly. “Listen, I want you to be attentive towards this. It’s...nothing serious, just strange. I want you to note when the mark burns and when it stays dormant, okay?” Serena nodded even though worry had started gnawing at the back of her mind. Viviane smiled, a forced stretch of lips. “Don’t worry Serena. It’s just I want to make sure that you are safe and that there's nothing to worry abo

“Run! Go away! We need to leave honey,” A voice told her as hands pushed her small frame out into the woods. Serena shook her head, trying to cling to her mother, but the woman pushed her, almost shoved her towards the foreboding darkness that lay in front of them. “And remember, don’t lose that book, okay, sweetheart?” Serena nodded, all the while crying, while her mother encouraged her to move forward. She could feel the book tightly sticking to her body, bound by a rope.“Mamma will be right behind you,” she added in a wobbly tone, but Serena could see the unshed tears gathered in the bottom of her eyes. But that smile that was a source of hope and happiness for her remained on her lips. For that moment she fooled herself, she believed her mother’s words.Ophelia leaned heavily on on

Having coffee was a bad idea, a very bad idea. Serena lay wide awake, her heart still drumming in her chest. She gazed at the ceiling or rather at the small nightlights that dotted each corner of the ceiling. But Dorian had offered so hopefully. She sighed and turned to her side, the light from the corridor spilt inside the room through the slight gap between the door. She kept staring at the light. She took solace from the fact that he was just a few steps away. Yet again, she gasped, when did she see him as her saviour? Maybe when he saved you from the faes, a voice at the back of her mind murmured. The truth was she was scared to fall asleep again. What if the nightmare came back? What if this time it was worse and she embarrassed herself again...like she did when she was at the Whites’. She bit her lower lip. The way she had attacked them when

Serena paced inside her room, waiting for Dorian’s return. Viviane had to leave after she got an urgent call, leaving Serena in a mesh of anxiety and apprehension. She forlornly raised her hand and looked at the mark. How could it have been infected? She never told anyone about it. Except for Barbara and Liam… Oh, she had completely forgotten about them. She picked up her phone from the nightstand and dialled Barbara’s number. She knew that the rush hour would be over. She answered the phone on the fifth ring. “Serena, are you okay? Is everything fine?” came the concerned flurry of questions. Serena felt her lips wobble, felt her eyes well up. However, she didn’t want to make her worry about the mark. Barbara’s anxious voice cut through her thoughts. “Hello? Are you there?” “Ah, yes. Yes, I am,” she replied steadily. “I...I calle

Serena knew that she wasn’t conscious. The fact she was back at the cliff, this time looking at the waning moon, told her that this was a vision. She looked down to see the tides, crashing viciously against the wall of the cliff as if it had been angered. “Serena…” that melodic voice reached her ears once again. She turned this time, unable to resist her curiosity and her lips parted as the word she had not said for as long as she could remember, slipped out. “Mom.” It was like a breathy exhale. She knew that her mother was dead, her silhouette shimmering and translucent, and yet she felt her eyes well up. Her mother smiled sadly. “Don’t cry, sweetheart.” Serena wiped her tears, but she wanted to hug her. Despite her repressed memory, her not inability to remember her own mother and taking a long time to figure out things, she felt her suppressed love and longing ooze out at the sight
The Alpha's Golden-eyed Seer 58| Coming Back
“You cannot go to that woman now!” Viviane had protested when Dorian had divulged the part about meeting his mother. “I know she did this,” he had growled. The pack doctor had sighed. “That’s an assumption. What if she denies it? With the constant attacks from faes, it won’t take long before others get to know the truth and you can’t let more members die. We don’t know how strong she is and we certainly can’t gamble now. Got it?” He had begrudgingly relented. Telling Barbara wasn’t in question. He didn’t want the elderly couple to suffer again no matter what he felt for them. Viviane opted to stay back while Kyle and Ronan volunteered to guard the place. Dorian merely acknowledged all of their requests and suggestions with a curt nod, not willing to leave Serena’s side for a moment. It has been two days
The Alpha's Golden-eyed Seer 59| An Alpha King's Plea
Serena’s reeling brain turned numb and blank. All she could feel was the softness of Dorian's lips moving against his. She felt a warm hand cup the nape of her neck and felt herself being pulled closer. Involuntarily, she placed her palm lightly on his chest as she lost herself in the exceeding and exhilarating feeling. She heard him growl and nip at his bottom lip. Heat pooled in her stomach, a noise left the back of her lips and then she felt herself being tilted backwards, and that...made her eyes open. Her back hit the mattress and while her brain was slowly catching up to what was happening, he pulled away, but not far enough. She stared at his dark, hooded eyes before her gaze drifted to his lips which had reddened slightly from the kiss. They were so...close and yet Serena did not feel repulsive, she didn’t have the urge to push him away. Instead she wanted him to be closer.&nb

Barbara had always managed to enthral Serena with her culinary skill. The simple chicken soup she made felt heavenly to her taste buds. The warmth curled and swirled inside her mouth, and she could feel her insides rejuvenating. She took a second helping as if she had been starved for days although Viviane had said she was given fluids through channels at regular intervals. She was still high from the kiss she shared with Dorian, even though it was more than that. She ducked her chin, feeling a blush creep up on her cheeks. All the while, Barbara fondly looked at the young girl, a girl who had been nothing but a stranger, a helpless one a few months ago. “Liam has been calling me non-stop, asking me about you,” she commented. Serena gulped a spoonful of soup before saying, “When will he come?” “Tomorrow, perhaps. I wi
