The pack house was a flurry of activities. The day everyone had been waiting for was finally here. It was the coronation ceremony, to crown the Alpha's mate as the Luna of Blood Moon pack. Silver and purple decorations beautified the large pack house, the dining hall where the ceremony would take place had been filled with water that reached the ankles. It was part of the ceremony. While everyone was busy preparing for the night to come, Serena sat on Kendrick's bed, wrapped in one of his robes. She felt nervous, not because of the ceremony but because she was worried that the people wouldn't accept her. Even when Kendrick had reassured her that his people had no choice but to accept her, it didn't make her feel better. She wanted his people to accept her not because she was Kendrick's mate but because she was fit to rule over them. The door opened and an elderly woman entered with three other young girls. They were all shifters. The woman smiled at S
The hall where the ceremony took place was silent. The guest who had been invited were all barefooted, standing in the water that reached their ankles. They filled the room, leaving a narrow aisle where Serena would walk down. At the end, Kendrick stood there, dressed in a silver tuxedo. He was literally sparking from head to foot. His face was serious as he awaited his mate. Beside him, an old man in a white robe stood solemnly. He was one of the Elders of the pack, the ones who helped the supreme Alpha in decisions concerning the pack. The Elders were just like the Sisters Of The Night;they were immortal beings and they were rarely seen. On the other side of Kendrick, Lord Logan stood with his wife while Xavier stood behind them with Cassie. They all waited anxiously for Serena to make her presence known. A soft drumming sounded and all eyes turned to the hall entrance. The drumming was a sign that the Alpha's mate was present. Everyone strained their necks, wanting
"Let the celebration begin",the Elder said out loud. Music started playing and the hall was filled with laughter and merriment. Serena was amazed how everyone moved freely in the water. "It is the tradition of the shifters",Kendrick who had read her expression expertly explained to her. "The water is seen as a blessing from the moon goddess, because it is gotten from the river Apricity". "The river that never freezes", Serena said. "Yes my love. So everyone moves freely within it", Just then, Lord Logan and his wife approached them with Xavier and Cassie in tow. "There's my little cupcake", Logan said as he pulled his daughter in for a hug. Kendrick's nose wrinkled wryly at the pet name Logan called his mate. "Father please",Serena laughed. "Do not call me that in the presence of everyone". "Oh, that's our little secret right?",Logan said and smiled mischievously. "Just ours",Serena whispered like they were having a little conspiracy. "Leave my woman alone Logan. Go bother
It was obvious enough that the astral realm wasn't safe anymore. Andromeda would always find a way to abduct Serena and try to take her powers. They had to leave, and the only safe place was the human realm. With Serena in the human realm heavily protected by Kendrick and his lycan warriors, it would be impossible for Andromeda to attack because there were consequences if she caused havoc in the human realm. So with that decision made, it was time for Serena to travel back to the place she grew up. Kendrick and his warriors would go with them too, for protection. Xavier and Cassie would go with her but Logan had to stay back to rule his coven. It was a difficult decision for all of them but it was the only way. After the second battle with Andromeda, Serena knew she had to be strong because the real war was yet to come. With her powers still coursing through her, she healed Kendrick first, taking the black magic out of him and giving him her blood to rev
It was a feeling of deja vu the moment Serena opened her eyes. The bright sun penetrated through the curtains that floated with the early morning breeze. For a minute, she had no idea where she was. The house looked strange, high ceilings holding elegant chandeliers, white walls, large windows, it was simply magnificent. She raised her body from the bed. Even the bed looked strange, with thick fluffy duvets, blue in colour, and an army of pillows. Was this a dream?,she asked herself. Where was Kendrick? And Xavier and everyone else?Swinging her legs to the ground, she got off the bed. The house looked modern, unlike the houses in the realm. Walking towards the large windows, she gasped. They were back in the human realm. Gone was the endless forest, and the River Apricity, the large mountains and caves, the smell of the woods. Below her was the bustling busy road plied with cars and trucks. This wasn't Toronto, her home town. This was different.She turned as the door opened and Ken
"Hello",a woman called out to Serena. She was seated in Kendrick's large and spacy office, glancing through a magazine. Kendrick had gone out for a meeting and she didn't want to wander alone around the company, getting scrutinized by the workers because of her peculiar hair and eyes. And also, they were all curious to know who the girl was because Kendrick had never brought a girl with him to the office, moreso a young one. She looked up from the magazine and smiled at the woman politely. "Hello",she said. "Sorry to interrupt, but I was looking for Kendrick",the woman said. Serena took a moment to observe the woman. She had golden blonde hair and brown eyes, dressed in a fine two-piece suit that accentuated her slim body. And what got her surprised was the way she called Kendrick's name easily. "He's at a meeting with the board of directors",Serena said smoothly. "Ohh",the woman sounded surprised at how Serena knew so m
Xavier stood at the road side watching Tabitha with a weird expression. Her words echoed in his ears, 'i'm only here to protect Serena... I know the witch's plan and I'm going to help her in anyway I can'.He had argued with her that Serena already had Kendrick to protect her but she was adamant. Tabitha didn't care about anyone else. She just wanted to protect her best friend. She had been unable to save Anderson so she hoped she could save Serena with Jayden's help, that's if he got over his obsession of getting Serena back."What about Jayden? The other one who's obsessed with my sister?",he asked her."I couldn't bring him with me",Tabitha said. "My guess is that, the witch would take him back and try to use him to get Serena. She knows he's obsessed with her, so it would be easy to manipulate him into thinking he would get her back if he helped her".Xavier nodded in agreement. She had a point. He still didn't trust the vampire but he knew she wouldn't hurt his sister."Very well
Serena opened her eyes slowly and instantly knew something was different. First of all, she was lying on the hard ground. The sky was greenish in colour and she could see clouds literally floating before her eyes. The entire atmosphere of the place was pale green, like she was looking through a lemon haze. Picking herself up, she scanned her environment. It was like a dream world. Houses floated in the air, swirling around the clouds that touched even the ground. Trees floated upside down, their roots looking like flying birds huddled together. There were strange animals too. She couldn't even comprehend them. Bears with the faces of cats;winged dinosaurs; a dragon breathing out water instead of fire;it was all so bizarre. The surprising thing was, none of these strange creatures noticed her. They moved about slowly in the green haze, grabbing leaves from the floating trees in their mouths, drinking from the sea that actually floated in the air. As much as
