As the days continued to pass, Lucas continued to bring food for Sera, but he didn't try to get close to her. Instead, he would just leave the food at a distance, respecting the space she needed. But every now and then, he would glance in her direction and his blue eyes would fill up with a mix of hope that she would soon dash with her silence.One evening, as the sun began to set, Lucas approached the cave once again, carrying a basket of fruits and vegetables. He set it down and took a step back, watching her from a distance.... Like she was a vulnerable animal he didn't want to spook off."I hope you're doing well, Sera," he called out softly. "I'll be here whenever you're ready to talk or if you need anything." Sera felt her heart soften at his words, and she observed that despite how cold she had been to him lately, he was still here, patiently waiting for her. Maybe, just maybe, there was a chance for them to find ther way back to each other. "Thank you, Lucas," she called bac

The days in Lucas's cave had become surprisingly comfortable for Sera. Lucas had been taking very good care of her, making sure she was well-fed and constantly checking her health. He had brought her an abundance of delicious food, including fruits rich in vitamin C, which he agreed with Kira was essential for her an the babies. Sera couldn't help but be surprise by this caring almost maternal side of him. Had he always been like this?"Lucas… gosh! …you're spoiling me... Does anyone else know that you could be such a mum?," she teased one afternoon as he placed yet another plate of fresh berries in front of her. He grumbled a few curses under his breath at her description of him."No, i'm only like this with you and if you ever tell anyone about this I'll deny it! oh and make sure you finish that one, you're eating for 3."She chuckled and took a bite of a juicy berry. "I promise I'm eating enough," she said. "You don't have to worry so much. "Sorry." He sighed. "But I can't help i

One day, as Sera was settling into her new role in the the pack, she looked up and to her utmost horror, she couldn't help but notice a familiar figure approaching. Amelia… That bitch!..... The the woman who had once been her enemy and the cause of sooo much pain in her life was now coming to stand in front of her, with a pitiful expression on her face.. "Welcome Amelia, Coke say hello," Lucas greeted, pushing her forward to Sera. "Sera, do You remember Amelia?” He asked stupidly. For the first time since their reconciliation, Sera felt an overwhelming urge to punch him in his stupid handsome looking face. Of course she remembered his wife…Ex-wife? .. the the bully that had made her life a living hell. Yes she had forgiven Lucas… but that didn’t mean she was completely over some of the the nasty memories. “You know I remember her Lucas! Now, What the the fuck do you want Amelia?” She snapped. “Calm down girl.” Kira chided in her mind. Lucas looked completely stunned at Sera's

After the splendid picnic, Sera and Lucas strolled back home hand in hand… grinning like high school sweet hearts. It felt nice…right. Infact, Sera could honestly say she had never felt so at peace in her life.They passed by a beautiful rose bush that was surrounded with thorns, and Sera couldn’t help but admire it. It reminded her Grace and her fondness with flowers.“Ohh look… those roses are soo pretty…. Half red, half pink.. pretty.” Lucas turned to look at her with a smirk, “you want one? I can get one for you.” He said. “Don’t be silly Lucas! They are surrounded by a serious hedge of thorn…. you’ll only injure yourself.” “You’re probably right, they’ll scratch and prick. And It’ll probably hurt like a bitch…. But it’ll all be worth the pain when I give you.” “Ooohhh you sound so smooth and cool, like a playboy trying to win a pretty girl.” She teased. “Well… that’s not exactly wrong is it? I am trying to win this pretty girl standing next to me after all.” He grins at her

“What?! Sera yelled again in shock. Did Amelia just say what she thought she heard?“OK… OK… don’t freak out, I'm just joking”, Amelia said raising her hands in surrender then she added.”But you Should have seen the look on your face, …..classic.” Amelia laughed hard until she had to wipe a tear from her eye. Sera frowned at her disapprovingly. “Your joke was way too expensive, Amelia.” She grumbled. “Well…I wasn't really joking though,” Amelia said, sobering up from her laughter. “Wait ... wait hear me out, I actually would love it if you gave me the opportunity to stay with you AND help you around the House. You are very heavily pregnant, and you look like you’re about to pop at any second sooo, you need all the help that you can get, whether you want to admit it or not.” Sera tilted her head in confusion. What did this have to do with anything? Amelia saw the puzzled look on Sera’s face and smiled reassuringly. “The best way for me to know that you fully trust me and are will
