Serena moaned softly as she slowly gained consciousness. Her body felt heavy and her head throbbed. She was lying on a makeshift bed and the room was dim. Her heavy eyelids opened a crack and peered round. The room was bare;no tables, no chairs. Just the bed on which she lay on. She struggled a little and sat up, wondering where she was. Where was everyone? Then it all came back in a flash. The fight with the dark creatures;the power surge she felt;her father;Jayden and Tabitha;she gasped suddenly. Jayden did something to her and she remembered passing out. Understanding dawned on her and she jumped off the bed, stopping momentarily as she felt a wave of dizziness. Whatever Jayden had splashed on her face, the aftereffects were not good. She fought the nausea bubbling up her stomach and staggered to the door at the far end of the room. She was halfway there when the door suddenly opened. "You're awake",Jayden said and rushed to hold her. "Yo

Leo breathed heavily as he lay on the ground. It had been a fierce battle with the black witches, trying to prevent them from destroying the pack house. If Kendrick had been with them, it would have been an easy battle. But with Kendrick's absence, it was up to him to lead the rest of the lycan and werewolf warriors to battle. Fortunately, the battle ended in their favour. Black blood and battered bodies were strewn all over the ground. But this wasn't the end. It was just the beginning. Jack emerged from the pack house after checking to make sure the women and children were safe. His wounds were healed up but the blood remained smeared on his skin. "They're safe",he said to Leo. The rest of the warriors gathered around Leo, waiting for his orders since he was the second in command as Kendrick was absent. "Brothers",he addressed them in a loud voice. "We have all seen that the war has begun. The war that was foretold years ago has

After Logan reunited with his wife and Isabel was reassured that her daughter was safe with the Alpha, they moved out to the haven Cassie had created. It was a warm cozy shelter, with little snow houses enclosed inside a dome. Logan occupied two houses for himself and his wife and Xavier took the other while the rest of his people occupied the rest. The new coven was a few hours away from Kendrick's pack, surrounded by the forest that circled the realm. Cassie made it that way so it would be easy for Serena to come visiting.Logan began to feel dispirited at how he got caught unawares by the witches. He, who was the strongest witch in the realm couldn't even protect his people. He became depressed and it took the encouragement of his wife and children to get over it. This time, he vowed to be prepared. He and Xavier trained new warriors in preparation for the next battle with the black witches. They made weapons and sent words to their allies about the war that had begun. They wouldn'

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

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
