Author's POVValerina walked out and sat in front of Snow's little house. "Hey, you are back from the party"Snow came out and asked. "What happened there? Was it fun?""It wasn't"She sighed. "Augustus and his mother... They had an argument.""Expected!"Snow rolled his eyes. "I hate those people for hating my Augustus.""Snow, I need to know what's wrong... What happened between them and why she hates her own son like this?"Valerina pleaded. "I shouldn't be the one telling you this"Snow replied sadly. "Augustus won't like it""I am his mate, Snow... I need to know everything about him... I don't want to hate him like others do"She tried to convince him. "You won't tell him, Promise me!"He demanded. "I promise!'She quickly said. "Everyone hates Augustus because he is powerful and doesn't listen to anyone... Remember when I told you that he was so powerful than even Serenity couldn't control him and was bloodthirsty when she was about to birth Augustus..."He asked and s
Author's POVFlashback.... Serenity was resting on Nicolai's chest. He gently kissed her forehead. "You look so beautiful under moonlight, kitten..."She smiled while entangling her fingers with his. "All because you... Thank you so much for taking care of me after birth... I am so lucky to have mates like you..."Nicolai kissed her forehead. "Still you are looking bothered... What happened?"Serenity sighed. "Augustus... He is going on a wrong path, Nico. How do I stop him?"She was worried. "He is my son, my blood... I don't want anything to happen with him because of his behavior. I tried to be strict with him but it seems like it's making him rebel..."Nicolai wrapped his hands around her. "I don't want to loose him. He is my baby... You have no idea how I felt when I saw him drenched in human blood... This is not how I want him to be. He has divine powers and he can do so much good with it... I am afraid that he will become like Carlos or Albert... How do I stop him?...""
Author's POVValerina was crying by now, she realized everything. Why he hurt her? Why he never let her trust him? Why he suggest her not to trust him! She never thought that this could be the reason behind it. He is actually trying to protect her. "Why did he killed Nicolai?"She asked Snow. Snow wiped his tears with his little paw. "Serenity has a evil cousin, Carlos... He wanted to destroy Serenity and wanted her divine powers which were given to her instead of him... He tried everything, he caged her in stone for thousands of years until hybrids broke his curse and brought her back to the world... Serenity fought back with Carlos, she turned him into stone and hybrids broke that stone into pieces so no one could bring him back to life but they didn't know that he had a Son, Albert who revived him and no one knew about it... Serenity killed Albert too but now Carlos is back and he wants to destroy everything...""Is he responsible for Augustus killing Nicolai?"She asked. "Yes
Author's POVValerina woke up before Augustus and looked at him. He was sleeping peacefully. She had no idea that this man is carrying so much pain in his heart. She has starting to feel less scared in front of him since Snow has told her everything but still she can't be ignorant. He is still the man who wants to hurt her because of that curse. Till now she was thinking why is he hurting her but now she has answers to all her questions. She wants to know how much this man loves her, how much her pain affects him, does he really wants to protect her and at what extend he can hurt her to keep her away from the curse effect. "Why are you looking at me like this?"She flinched back when Augustus suddenly opened his eyes. "N_Nothing... I was just zoned out."She tried to get up but he pulled her back. "Are you sure?"He smirked and she gulped. "I n_need to use w_washroom"She mumbled and ran out of the bed when he loosened his grip. Augustus shook his head with chuckle. "Scared
Author's POV"Did you save some pastries for me?"Snow asked. Valerina was checking what kind of plants Angel has given her. "Yes, Snow"She replied. "But you need to tell me about these plants first""No! First pastries... I am hungry."Snow complained. "Did Augustus ate it?""No! He refused to eat. He didn't even show any interest... May be he actually doesn't like human food... He doesn't even care that I made it and you talk about mate bond."She sulked and got up. "I'll bring your pastries."Valerina walked towards the kitchen and her eyes widened when she saw the scene in front of her. Before she gasps, she clasped her mouth and hid behind the door. She carefully peaked inside the kitchen and looked at Augustus shocked. He was eating pastries which she has made. Table in front of him is covered with empty plates, he ate all of them! He was looking so cute while enjoying his pastries, Valerina's lips turned into huge smile. She couldn't believe that he is really eating
Author's POV"Val, you are all red..."Snow said. Valerina was digging hole to plant seeds. "If you are like this after digging just two holes then how will you do it for hundred seeds?""Don't worry, Snow... I'll do it."She was breathing heavily but still didn't stop. "And you don't even know if these are going to grow or not... You will fall sick."Snow tried to convince her. It was almost evening. Valerina dug the second hole and fell on the ground. Snow was right, it's not easy. That supernatural land is harder than normal land and they need to dig deep holes to plant magical seeds. "I'll do it, let's dug another one..."She said but in reality she couldn't even breath properly. "What's going on here?"They both looked at Augustus who was looking at them like he is living with two jokers. "We are digging holes to plant seeds..."Snow chirped. "But Valerina is too weak, she can't do it quickly like you."He said thinking he will help them. "Dug two holes extra"He said and
Author's POVSnow and Valerina thought that she can't enter the main gate because of Augustus' spell but she entered and it didn't even hurt her. Her long hair swayed back with the wind as she walked in angrily. She was mad. "How dare you..."Arthur hugged Augustus tightly when he saw Serenity and Augustus frowned at him. "She will punish me."Valerina frowned at Serenity."Stop!"She quickly stood between her and Augustus. Augustus looked at her confused while Serenity frowned. "Augustus didn't do anything..."Valerina said madly. "This kid came here by himself... He didn't hurt him so think before you do anything."Augustus' eyebrows raised in awe and he chuckled silently. Valerina is like a little rabbit in front of big wolf like Serenity and still she was shielding Augustus. He found it amusing. "Yes, she is right... He tried to jump on us."Snow yelled in his cute voice. "Augustus is innocent... He didn't hurt your child. You can't hurt him."She said and Serenity looked

"If s_she hurts you t_then no one will s_stop them from turning me..."She lied. "There will be no one to p_protect me."He raised his eyebrows at her. "Do you trust me that much?"She shook her head.

"I am h_having hard time b_believing you but I want to give it a try..."She said. "If you t_turn me and betrayed me then I'll k_kill myself and this time you w_won't be able to save me."He grabbed her throat when she said that. "Say that again, I dare you!"He threatened. "You have lost the right on your life the moment I laid my eyes on you."She could see the madness in his eyes. "Only I can hurt you, only I can make you cry and only I can kill you... Try hurting yourself and I'll make sure to
Author's POVIt's been a few months since they killed Carlos and Augustus has started training Valerina so she can use her powers to the full extent. She was doing well and he was proud of her.''Can we stop for the day?.. I am tired''She made puppy eyes. He chuckled. ''Okay, we'll do the rest in the evening.''He said and she whined knowing he won't stop.''Oh, I almost forgot that I have called your family to dinner tonight so no practice.''She grinned and he shook his head. ''Augustus''She called and he looked at her. ''I have invited your parents too''She gulped nervously. Augustus looked at her for a second and gave her a stiff nod making her smile.

He still doesn't get involved with them too much but he doesn't ignore their presence either. Old wounds have started healing slowly and she was feeling happy for him.Valerina understood t
Valerina's POVIt feels like a dream where I slept for a long time and came back. I am thankful to Serenity for whatever she did to break that curse. Mistakes happen and I believe that she deeply regrets her decisions. No hard feelings for anyone because everyone has suffered in it. I looked at our castle, it's in the same condition in which we left it.''You made it like before.''Because it was in bad condition when I broke his statue. ''Yeah, did some cleaning to welcome you.''He led us inside. Snow is now jumping here and there in the garden.''Yahoo! We are finally back..''We both laughed at him.I nudged Augustus when I saw another little Rabbit peaking inside from the bush. It was looking at Snow.''I think she is that Rabbit..''Augustus chuckled.''Snow will finally get some actions''We settled just like before, our room holds so many bittersweet memories.

Author's POVValerina woke up and found her in the embrace of her mother. Marina was beside her all night. She placed her head on her belly and hugged Marina. Valerina considers herself very lucky to have a mother like Marina. Now when she thinks, she realizes that Marina has never raised a hand on her even when she was a kid. She has never restricted her to do anything except those things which might hurt her badly. She has supported her in every decision. Her mother is too loving as compared to some of her fellow students. She didn't ignore the fact that some of the students have abusive mothers and some of them are struggling to live the life they want. Some of them are just trophies to their parents. Marina on the other hand does all in her power to give the life she deserves. She didn't give up when her ex husband came to take her away.

It's the truth, the truth of your and my life..."He stepped towards her and she shook her head. "I don't believe you."She grabbed her head in disbelief.
