"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
Andromeda struggled into the dark gloomy forest located at the borders of Red City. Her breathing was laboured and she wheezed in short harsh pants. Today was the day. The only day she felt like hell. Literally. Because of the deal she made with Hades, she was subjected to this torture once every month, for the rest of her life. She bit back a scream as pain lashed through her body. Crawling into the woods, she huddled under a tree and curled into a ball. Soon she screamed out in agony. Her body quaked, bucked and spasmed with pain. Her skin wrinkled up and bits of hair started dropping from her scalp. Her body trembled violently and another scream tore out of her. She clenched her chest, feeling as if a knife had been stabbed into her. It would be a long day, and a long night. This torture she went through made Andromeda go mad with rage. It was all their faults. And she wouldn't rest till she got her revenge. "YOU WILL ALL PAY FOR THIS!", she sc
The members of the board of directors and share holders in Kendrick's company all sat stiff and angry, grumbling about his rude attitude. The fact that he was the owner of this company and numerous others, and also one of the wealthiest people in Red City didn't mean he had to disrespect those who worked with him. With the way he rushed out of the room a few hours ago, it showed that he didn't even have regard for them. But they could only complain behind his back. They wouldn't dare talk to him to his face. Since Kendrick wasn't around, they turned their aggression towards Leo, Kendrick's second in command. "Mister Lexington",one of the prominent share holders turned glaring eyes towards Leo. "What sort of insult is this? How long will we have to tolerate the inexcusable behavior of Kendrick Marshal?" "It is Count Marshal to you Sir Rodney",Leo said in a hard tone. "I won't tolerate such disrespect towards my boss". Leo disliked this particular
