Nyktos And Sera Novels & Stories

MAYA "You knew me, didn't you?" The words came out harshly as I stood over Marcus's bed in the healer's cottage, watching him struggle to breathe. Dr. Chen had stabilized him after his collapse, but his face was still pale, his breathing labored. His eyes met mine, and something broke in his expression. "Sera," he whispered, reaching for my hand, "you're alive." I pulled back, my heart racing. "My name is Maya." "No," he shook his head weakly, "you're Sera, I'd know you anywhere, I helped deliver you when you were born."

Across us sat Nyra and beside her was the woman who had shifted everything without even trying, Lena ( Sera’s mother ) Nyra didn’t need to introduce her again. “I assume we’re done pretending this is optional,” she said calmly, folding her hands on the table. I leaned back in my chair, studying her. “You reached out to us,” I reminded her. “That makes this your play.” A faint smile touched her lips. “No, it’s a shared oppourtunity”. She said Mila scoffed softly. “Call it what it is. You want Sera destroyed.” The woman didn’t flinch. “I want balance restored.” she said and Nyra shifted beside her.

“We break her spirit. And we start with Kaelion. If he betrays her, even for a moment, Jenna will crumble. I need a chance. You help me get close to him, and in return…” Serena’s eyes gleamed. “You help me become Luna.” A slow, venomous smile curled Coty’s lips. “Exactly.” They sealed the deal with a glass of wine. Both women raised their goblets not in friendship, but in mutual hate. ****** Later That Evening — Alpha Kaelion’s Office:

“We both know that won’t work. Viktor is just as good as I am in combat, and I am very good. While I know the weaknesses of his fighting techniques and posture, Serena doesn’t know them. She’s no match for him.” “Luckily, I have a plan. Nero, drive her to the location before the window of time closes. When you get a kilometre away, let her drop you off and go on her own. Enzo will launch a drone that will allow us to see inside.” Nico said. “What’s the plan?” I asked. Nico looked at Enzo and smiled. Enzo handed me a small device and asked us to leave immediately. He gave me instructions on what to do, and I hoped it would work. Otherwise, I was screwed.

Their mother Fate, the primordial goddess, was indeed too cruel. “How do we stop it? How do we destroy the god killer.” Seris asked no one in particular. “Well….” Nyx was cut of by Arkea who got angry and stormed to Seris. “Bring back my sister pup!” She barked at Seris who glared at her. “I am your sister Siren so sit the fuck down!” Seris screamed at her as Arkea immediately sat down. “That's some temper.” Thorlod whispered to himself no so quietly. “Nyx, please go on.” Seris said as Nyx took a deep breath and continued.

“Diego’s ability is the first of its kind. Other than his battle skills, it’s what made him extremely valuable back at the facility. The official term is cyberkinesis, but—” “But that’s a mouthful.” Diego interrupted with a grunt. “I prefer the term hacker.” The walls began to close in, squeezing the air from my lungs. I narrowed my eyes at Lyra and swallowed my building growl. “I thought you said you destroyed everything. Why would you have your Beta hack Phineas’ computers?” “Just hear her out, baby. Don’t think I wouldn’t tear her head off if she ever posed a threat to you.” Nox’s voice helped ease the tension tugging at my insides.
