Se connecterSerena’s POVBy the time I was done showering, and had put on my nightwear, I wondered what Galatia would think. It was really late because I had stayed in the bathroom for a long while. I looked at the door of my room, pondering on whether or not I should just lock it and pretend I had gone to bed, or just honor my word and go meet him. Sighing, I shook my head and decided to just go and hear him out, whatever it was. I walked out of my room, and padded silently towards his. The hallway was quiet, too quiet that it crossed my mind that he might have gone to bed. Every step I took felt like my heart was going to shatter out of my chest. It was beating faster than normal, and I told myself it was just because of everything that had happened these past few days… not because I was walking toward his room.I stopped in front of his door, staring at it for a moment.That was funny anyway, the fact that he has asked me to his room when he had not wanted me there and warned me agai
Galatia’s POVAfter dinner, I knew Serena was going to try her best to avoid coming to my room, so I decided I would go to hers instead. I was determined to see and talk to her.Audrey’s meeting had ran more than she thought at the hospital so she had been unable to come back home, so I was kind of alone with her, aside from Dahlia who had had dinner with us on Serena’s request. She had also not wanted to be alone with me, but if I wanted her to understand what it took to be my mate, I needed to start getting close to her, whether or not she liked it. I lingered in the dining area a little longer than necessary after we finished eating, watching her from across the table as she spoke to Dahlia, already knowing she was planning her escape. The way she avoided my gaze, the way she stood up just a little too quickly when she was done… yeah, she wasn’t coming.I almost smiled to myself.She said nothing to me at all, and she just nodded her head to Dahlia, probably preparing to d
Serena’s POVBriefly, Dahlia had stepped out of the house to go for grocery shopping, and Audrey had left earlier this morning for a meeting. Galatia was in his office, busy, so I had the house to myself in a way, at least, for a little while, so I decided to make lunch. The last thing I wanted to do was sit around without doing anything. Back home, I would be at my bakery at this moment, or doing one thing or the other, but here, I didn’t really have much to do. Walking to the fridge to, I stood in front of it to scan the inside to see what was there. I was planning to make creamy pasta, so I wanted to see my options. After bringing out all I needed, I walked to the cabinet to pull out the pasta, but my hand wouldn’t reach it. Pushing up on tiptoes, I closed my eyes and started to reach for it, pushing more and more and stretching so I could reach. My fingers had barely grazed it when I felt a heat behind my back, and a hand swiftly wrapped around my waist. Galatia! He st
Serena’s POVShaking my head, I stared into nothing, thinking about everything after Galatia and the man left. If they were lying, I didn’t think they would be that convincing. Besides, the expression on their faces were genuine, it was either the truth or they were really good actors. Either way, I was thinking about it. Turning to look at Audrey, I asked. “So tell me, what do you think I need to do?” Audrey clapped her hands dramatically, giving me a small smile. “First, you need to accept that all of this is nothing but the truth, then you’re going to find a way to get your sister to take a break and come over here. We can then start to work on you both.” She said. For a moment, I stared at her as if I was trying to determine if she was being serious, then when I realized that she was, I threw my head back and laughed. “That’s crazy. You’re crazy, aren’t you?” I asked. Audrey gave me a look like she was confused. Well, she shouldn’t be, because just how was she thinking I
Galatia’s POVI watched her as she sat there with her hands wrapped around her, waiting for us to explain it to her. I glanced at my sister and she nodded her head, as if trying to tell me that it was fine, that she was settled enough to hear what all of these was about. If I was being honest, I knew I had dragged this on for a while, and I shouldn’t. I also understand that if I didn’t get the message home, Serena would never believe me, and she would leave because there was nothing I could do or say after that to keep her here, so I needed this to be done properly. Without any further delay, I cleared my throat, looked back at her, and then I started. “Centuries ago, our clan started, and we were in hiding for so many decades, hunted, treated as the enemy, so we got better at hiding among plain sight, and living in the human world.” I paused, trying to read the expression on her face. I wanted to be sure she was following as she should because I didn’t want her to miss any of t
Serena’s POVIt had been two days since Audrey told me I was like them, and that it was the reason I was having all those weird dreams, and if I didn’t believe her, I could leave, but the dreams were about to get worse.According to her, the fact that I had seen what was running after me in the dream, meant whatever it was was getting closer. Now, here I was, still in Galatia’s house, trying to “find myself” whatever that meant. I sat in my room, waiting for Audrey and Galatia, who miraculously disappeared and I hadn’t seen since that day… night he took me out on a date. A knock sounded on my door and Dahlia walked in before I could ask who it was. “Hello, Ms. Harp. I brought you some freshly squeezed juice.” She said with a small smile. I wanted to smile back but I couldn’t even muster that. I just stared at her She hesitated under my stare, her smile faltering just a little. “You should drink it,” she added gently, setting the tray down on the table by the window.“Where
Serena’s POVBy the time we finished eating, it was rather late, but I didn’t mind at this point because I was really having fun. I watched as Galatia walked to the grate to adjust the fire burning before coming back to sit with me on the laid out blanket. We had moved to the small and cozy sitti
Serena’s POVThe heat wasn’t helping me at all, so I couldn’t sleep. I stood up from the bed, and slipped my feet into the slippers by my bed when my stomach decided it was time to grumble. I had missed dinner because after the talk with Ronnie and Galatia, I had came straight into my room to pac
Serena’s POVI couldn’t ask Audrey for her phone yet because she was still on that call. I had gone to Galatia’s office after leaving his room, but as soon as I got to the door, I could hear Audrey’s voice, muffled through the door, telling someone to breath in and out, before telling her what setb
Galatia’s POV“So what’s going on with her?” I asked as soon as Audrey walked into the kitchen. I couldn’t go into my room after all that, so I just came in here to wait for her. She sighed, walking to the stove as she grabbed a kettle and filled it with water, the after placing it on the stove t
