Chapter 0005:The Stranger In Her Dream.

“And i will always protect you, my love. But first, I need to find you.”

Seraphina snapped her eyes open to connect with familiar gray walls, she was at the packs infirmary. The young lady wiped the tears that cornered at the side of her eyes, it always happens whenever she has that dream.

It was reoccurring, yet, she couldn’t be able to see the face of the man that always haunt her drama, except from knowing his voice. She had gotten so used to his voice that even if she’s asleep, she would recognize that voice anywhere.

She had no idea who he was, or what exactly he wanted from her . Everything seemed to be normal when she woke up from dreaming about him. Irrespective of the fact that it’s all a dream, but when she’s asleep she wishes that she gets lost in her dream.

Seraphina had no idea if the man in her dream was her father, who knows? For the past few days, the thoughts about her parents weighed heavy on her mind, and what happened this morning that had her here in the infirmary added to it.

Maybe it was some sign that her father was trying to locate her?

Maybe, her parents aren’t dead afterall?

Just the thought of it, has the girl smile, but groans in pain while she palms the side of her cheek, where Chloe had hit on her. She sat up carefully from the bed, before she tried to stand up but it was really painful.

“The Alpha suggested that you take some days off to rest, so, i won’t do that if i were you, child.” Sera, the Pack’s doctor said from the door, as Seraphina’s eyes lightened up at the sound of her voice.

“Mrs.Sera…” She called, and watched the woman come closer to where she is to raise her shirt for her to see the red marks on her body, as a result of being flung against the wall by Chloe.

“It was Chloe again, isn’t it?” The woman asked, but got no response from Seraphina, for she will never tag Chloe to be a bad person in front of others. That’s to show the love and respect she had for the Alpha’s daughter, afterall the both had grown up together and they were more like sisters.

All Seraphina did was to sigh wheh her eyes connected at the wound at the side of her stomach, while looking at the mirror.

Chloe hits can be painful though.

But Seraphina was glad that she has Mrs. Sera, she’s like a second mother to her after the Luna, and she’s the only one who didn't treat her differently the way the others do, because she was a still born.

A stillborn was another title the pack had for werewolves like her, that couldn't transform. As if the insult wasn’t enough, that the Luna’s attitude towards her changed since she turned nine, but the look of disappointment on everyone’s face on her eighteenth birthday, when they had the ceremony to welcome the young werewolves like her.

She could still remember the looks on everyone’s face, it was as if it proved the Luna’s point that she might secretly be a vampire. But she had no scent on her to show that she was an enemy either. She had no idea of what she is, since she couldn’t transform into a werewolf to prove everyone wrong.

Her life is so pitiful, but she’s grateful to the pack for taking her in after she was dumped at the gate wrapped up in a blanket, twenty years ago.

Yet, that still coundnt explain the harsh treatment she was passing through. Even a normal human couldn't be treated the way she’s been treated, because it would only end up with the human being dead.

“These are the drugs, and you are expected to take them, Seraphina. You are a young girl, and a beautiful one at that. You might never know when your Mate might find you, and there’s bruises on your body.” Mrs. Sera cautioned her. She wanted the best for the young girl because Seraphina reminded her of her own child, who she lost in the war between the vampires and the Werewolves twenty years ago.

Since then, she has not been able to take it, it was heartbreaking for her, seeing as her husband couldn't cheat on her because of the mate bound, to get a child of his own. Neither was he willing to reject her as his mate.

Seraphina laughed hard at the talk of a mate, that was another aspect of her life which she has not sat down to think about. There’s no way, the moon goddess would give an innocent werewolf the task of being a mate to someone like her, that’s like ruining the life of the said mate.

Hence, she didn’t believe that there’s a certain someone set out who is going to love and cherish her, that's a lie. She would only continue to be happy for the others, who are lucky to find their mate unlike her.

“What? Please, don’t tell me that you still don’t believe that your mate would find you someday. Seraphina…” Mrs. Sera called, coming closer to take her hand into her own.

Tears littered Seraphina's eyes, “it’s not like i don’t believe…in it,Mrs. Sera, but it’s just that I’m too damaged for someone to love me. I don’t want to be another liability to anyone.” Seraphina cried.

“Oh! Dear.”

The woman hugged the young lady, consoling her. “It’s not that you are damaged, but you are forgetting the saying that good things takes time. Trust me, you will eventually get to feel your wolf, and be able to transform soon enough, trust me.”

Seraphina pulled away to look into her eyes. “I’m scared.” She said, rubbing at her hands nervously.

“About what exactly, child?” Mrs. Sera asked.

“What if I’m something else? What if I’m a vampire?” She said. Seraphina could swear she saw the slight change in her Mrs. Sera’s body movement, as a result of her taking about Vampires. She knew the woman’s trauma about the enemy.

But things had changed.

The world altogether has changed.

There is a system that unites both the Vampires, Werewolf’s and the humans to live peacefully, but the park didn’t sign up for the treaty. Which was why they were away from the general population and lived far away from the city.

Alpha Kane doesn’t believe in a world where there enemies turn out to be friends, it’s always going to be the three races fighting for survival.

“That’s not going to happen, Seraphina. You think too much.” Mrs. Sera says, standing up to give her the pills and water to take with it. “The least you can do is to rest your mind, only then would you be able to see things differently with a clear mind.”

“Thank you for everything.” The young lady said to the woman, feeling sleepy after taking the drugs, which was what the woman wanted.

For the injuries to heal faster, she needs to sleep to alone the drugs to kick in.

“I will be outside if you need me.” Mrs. Sera said to her, helping her to the bed as Seraphina nodded at her words.

She heard the door close behind her after she left, leaving her alone to her thoughts, but it wasn’t long before darkness overcloud her consciousness, but not without the troubles about her life flashing right through her mind briefly.

She only hoped that she could dream about him again.

The stranger in her dream.

He’s the only one that protects her and keeps her mind free from worry.

If only she can dream about him again.

If only…
