“Jina,” I exclaimed when she showed up at my door.“Serena, she smiled.I quickly went to hug her.“I missed you and I missed everyone,” I said.“I know and we miss you too,” Jina looked worried.I can see what she feels inside. It’s not that she’s sad about my situation, she’s worried about the family's well-being. She’s worried about her husband and how their family and pack members would survive with the name that the Alpha Alexandro has defeated them. No wolf will be proud to live at the mercy of another wolf. I can understand why they are all so upset.“Marriage is in two days,” she reminded me.“Yes, I know,”“You’re compelled in this. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t help you,” she apologized sincerely.“That’s okay,” I said, looking down.“I know it’s too late to ask this question. Are you sure that you want to marry Alexandro?” Jina asks, “If you don’t want to marry him, you can tell me,”Like she said, it’s too late and an unwanted question. Perhaps she’s talking like this in th
Serena's POVSitting on the window sill, I watched the moon. The howling of a wolf is heard somewhere in the depths of the forest. The clouds were veiled over the jiffy stars. My small sleepy village is still awake to know about its beloved people. The war has changed everything. It's been a week since I had proper sleep, appetite, and peace. I am always worried for my father, and brother who was fighting against the blood moon pack along with the other warrior wolves in my village. So many bad thoughts haunt me every day and I have been waiting to hear the good or perhaps the bad news that might come any time. When I am blankly staring at the sky, the knock on the door got my attention. My sister-in-law, Jina, came in. From the look on her face, I can understand something is wrong. "What is it?" in my edgy voice, I questioned her."I have news, a bad one," Jina’s eyes welled in tears. "We have lost the battle," I know it's too difficult to win this battle, that's what my father sa
I opened the curtains of the palanquin and saw my father walking beside it, he didn't look at my face at all. I don't know whether he's angry or guilty but the look on his face saddens me. Edward shifted back to his human form when he noticed me. Jacob must be with Kate and Jina's carriage as she couldn't walk for long distances.Can't bear this silence, I ask, "Is that true, Papa? They came here because of me?" My father didn't utter a word and nodded his head. He must be distraught but he shouldn't keep me at bay."Serena, nothing is your fault," Edward said, which felt like he was talking for papa. "Why Papa isn't answering me? I ask, "What did I do?" "You didn't do anything, Serena. I am such a worst father who couldn't protect my daughter," "That's not true, father," Edward and I both disagreed. I reached out my hand to hold his hand, that's when they stopped the palanquin. Edward looked at the reason and said, "We are at the borders of Aiden," "Where were they taking us?" I
I am tired, heartbroken, and anxious as I walk into my new room. My family was taken to the guest house that's outside the palace, but Alexandro wanted me to stay in his palace. Since he announced that I am his mate, there's nothing my family nor I can talk back to him. I am the chosen one for him, and I can't stand against his decision. No one can.The problem with werewolf mating is if you don't like your other half you don't have a choice but to obey the norm.If I was like them, I would have easily accepted this fate. Being a human, my mind and my feelings work differently. I don't want to be taken like this. If he'd come to me and asked me genuinely, I would have said yes since we had met already once and he left a fascinating impression. But he chose the violent way, well he's a werewolf and there's no surprise he chose this way.But it has changed my heart completely. I am thinking about everything that's wrong with our union. I can't be with a man who I barely know. I couldn'
The next morning, I woke up snapping out of my nightmare when the cold air hit my feet. I was surprised how I fell asleep last night, I was awake most of the time and must have slept in tiredness. I saw the long windows were open and the other side of the bed was shuffled as someone had slept in there. I know I didn't touch the duvet that's hugging me right now. It must be him, he slept beside me and covered me in this duvet. What else he had done to me while I was sleeping like a sloth? I shrieked in fear and checked my dress to find them intact. Relief spread across my heart and I got down from the bed to see the drizzling sky outside. Aiden is so different compared to my village. It's cold as Mount Athes is nearby and I heard it would be often windy and rainy here. When I felt an urgent need to pee, I looked around to find the bathroom door.Knowing that it must be outside, I came out of the room, and thankfully a maid is walking by that way. I asked her to guide me to the bath

The first time I met Alexandro was a year ago. Still, I consider that the most beautiful yet terrific day of my life.I met him in the most unexpected circumstance. Even now when I think about that moment, my lips curl into a smile For a long time, I always wanted to see unicorns who live in the depths of the forest. Only a few lucky people have seen it. They say unicorns are just folklore and a non-extinct species but I believe it must be still there. I read an ancient scripture that my father saved in his collection of books. In that, it’s mentioned that in the east part of the Aerogon, they were still there. Even though the scriptures were written a hundred years back, I believed there could be a chance. I decided to go there when my father and brother traveled to a neighboring town to get the necessities for our pack. They won’t be in the house for two days and I was left in Jina’s care. Convincing sweet Jina is such an easy task. I persuaded her with my best effort and took o
