Emily And Sera Novels & Stories

“She... she helped me see...” “Who is ‘she’?” I demanded, leaning closer. “Give me her name, Ethan.” His breathing quickened, chest rising and falling in shallow pants. “S-Sera,” he whispered, the name seemingly torn from him against his will. “Her name is Sera.” I felt Lukas stiffen behind me, the first concrete name for the woman we’d gotten in our investigation. I didn’t dare break my concentration to look back at him. “Tell me about Sera,” I ordered, maintaining the pressure of my Command. “When did you meet her? What did she look like?”

“It's uncomfortable!’’ Ashford nodded. “I won't do it again.” “So, what is Sera?” Luna asked. “Sera is a wind; I'm bonded to her, and she can spy on someone without them realizing it.” “Can you see her?” “Yes.” “Can others see her?” “No.” “Was she born that way?” “No.” “Can I see her?” “I have no idea.” Luna thought about it for a while. “If you can see her, doesn't that mean that someone else might be able to see her? Someone like Emmett?”

" Sera nodded. In a different world, Camila and Sera could've been friends. Yes... In a different world, I would have loved to have someone like you as a friend. "Alright, how does $105 sound?" Camila said. Sera smiled, "It sounds amazing." Camila made a satisfied noise and again began typing away as Sera pulled out a card and slid it through the window slot.

Something I couldn’t name without feeling sick. “You know something,” I said finally, my voice sharper than I intended. “About Matthias.” For the first time, Emilia’s eyes flickered. A quick flash of recognition she tried and failed to hide. “You’ve heard his name.” “He isn’t just Damien’s enemy,” I pushed, my breath quickening. “He’s mine. And if you know something, if you’ve seen something” She cut me off with a small, almost sad laugh. “Careful, Serena. Curiosity in this house is like stepping barefoot on broken glass. The more you press, the deeper it cuts.”

Torn between trusting Jeremy and the lingering doubt Serah had planted, I took a step back, and explained, "Serah told me you are meeting someone, that it's something intimate." Jeremy's eyes widened in disbelief. "Serah? She's the one who's been spreading lies? Don't tell me you could believe whatever Serah and her mum, Aurora, say." "Alpha Jeremy!!!" Emily breathlessly called out as she approached, her eyes darting abruptly. Jeremy turned at her, his brow furrowing with curiosity, and asked, "What's going on, Emily? Why do you look so worried?"

Emily raises her hand, ready to slap Serena. Serena, holding Emily’s wrist. She wants to hit her again?

Emily lost it and harshly pushed her, Sera lost her balance and straight hit her head on the table. "Ahh!" she touches her head and saw blood. She was bleeding. "What do you think I am? I did everything for you... I raised you and loved yo-" Emily yelled. But suddenly Sera cut her off, "Love? Where is that love you are talking about? Why can't I see it?" Emily froze, a huge silence spread in the room.

“It isn’t.” A pause. “But…” Sera adjusted the veil one last time. “I’m glad I was wrong about you.” Elara’s expression softened. “Thank you.” Sera immediately pointed at her. “Don’t.” “Don’t what?” “Don’t make this emotional.” “You started it.” “I did not.” “You literally told me I make you cry.” Sera looked away. “That was different.” “How?” “Because I was being dramatic.” Elara laughed. “Of course.” ⸻

“What about Lily’s daycare?” Victor’s eyes sharpened. “I’ll handle that. Quietly.” Elias looked between them. “Who’s Lily?” Sera’s heart stopped. “She’s a family friend’s daughter,” Victor said smoothly. “Sera was helping out before the crash.” Elias narrowed his eyes. “You said you don’t have a family.” “I don’t,” Sera said quickly. “Lily’s not mine.” She felt the lie burn her tongue. Elias didn’t look convinced. “You’ve got this tight look around your mouth. Every time I ask something real, you go stiff.”
