CHAPTER 12 SERENA’S POVI woke up groggily to the metallic smell of dried blood. My throat felt raw and dry. I could kill to get a sip of water. I tried opening my eyes, but my eyelids felt too heavy. I could feel the dried blood on them. I moved slightly in discomfort, and a pained groan escaped my throat. I managed to open my eyes and shut them immediately when the blinding light pierced them. I woke up to a different smell this time. It was a mixture of burning sage and incense.I forced my eyes open again. I was greeted with the sight of high wooden ceilings. The room was filled with smoke rising like an offering to the sky. The ceilings were draped in a familiar silk fabric. This was the high priestess’s chamber. “You’re awake,” a deep voice rumbled. I turned my head in the direction the voice came from, ignoring my screaming muscles. Kai sat on an old wooden chair beside the bed. His shoulders hunched over in tiredness. The person I was seeing was a far cry from the usual

CHAPTER 14SERENA’S POVThe steam started to fade, as the cold air from the open door sneaked in, leaving the room transparent. I grazed my hands on my thighs, super aware of my naked state. My eyes never strayed from his. Kai didn't take another step. He stood close to the doorway, his chest heaving from his recent run. His beautiful face was riddled with shock.His scorching gaze burned my skin with intensity. It traveled up and down my body, tracing my curves, my shoulders, and my ample breasts. It settled on fading scars.My fingers itched to reach for a towel. I wanted to run or even hide. But I refuse to do so. I was done with running. I stood my ground, squaring my shoulders. My chest rose as I took a deep breath. "You tried to run from me," Kai said in a raspy voice. You could detect the worry in his voice but he remained calm. He slammed the door behind him, trapping us together inside. The room felt tighter. He walked slowly, bridging the gap between us. He held up my aba

CHAPTER 16 KAI’S POVThey made their way towards me, drifting an inch above the grass, their eyes glowing brightly and their cloak hanging loosely on their pseudo-frame. "The Blackwood curse has worsened," the middle one whispered.”My beast let out a low growl in warning. He wanted to rip them apart. "Careful now, King," the second witch warned, her pseudo-frame moving to circle me like a prey. "We didn't come for trouble. You have something we want.”My beast grew anxious at their words. He sensed their words as a threat. He trailed their movements to determine his next move. "Where is the white wolf, King?" the middle witch hissed, her form leaning too close for comfort. "Bring her to us now!”I bared my fangs, reaching out to grab her throat. My hands went through her pseudo form, unable to hold her. My beast snarled in her face in frustration. The witches let out an evil laugh at my reaction. “You underestimate us, King,” they said in unison. They moved to stand side by sid

CHAPTER 18SERENA’S POVWe stood in front of the Moon Pool in a little cave behind the high Priestess chambers. It was not entirely made of water. As I stood on the edge of the rocky ground surrounding the body of water, the liquid within rippled like lava, and thick fog covered the top blocking the view below."Step in, Serena," the High Priestess commanded. Her voice was low, echoing against the reflecting walls. "This is the Initiation. To be able to evolve, you must leave the old you behind."I looked at the wall beside me staring at my reflection. I stood bare underneath the moon, ready for my initiation. “Now, Serena,” the priestess urged, her vibrating voice reaching my ears. I took a breath and stepped into the pool.The pool went still as soon as it touched my skin. I shivered from the cold embracing me. Suddenly, the chaos started. The transition was violent. The "liquid" didn't just wet my skin; it leaked into my pores. My vision shifted. I wasn't in the cave anymore. I
