"I can't do this, Kael. Working with you... being near you... it's too much." "Seraphia, I know I've hurt you. But we need to find out who killed your sister. We need to stop this darkness before it consumes us all." "You don't get it. It's not just about the investigation. It's about us. You broke my heart, Kael" He stepped closer, "And I regret it every day. But fate has brought us back together for a reason. We have to trust in that, no matter how hard it is." "Maybe fate is wrong," "Or maybe, fate is giving us a second chance." Their lips met in a kiss that was both desperate and tender. ****** Living in the shadow of her brilliant sister was something Lily had grown accustomed to, even if it left her feeling like the family outcast. Her sister, Thalia was the golden girl - beautiful, sexy, and the center of attention while Sera was the chubby and nerdy one. When her sister is mysteriously murdered, Sera's life is turned upside down, and she's forced to work alongside her sister's husband - her ex boyfriend, the man who shattered her heart. hings becomes more complicated when the goddess decides to fuck her over by making him her fated mate, only adding to her turmoil. One thing was for sure. They might be fated, but there's no way she would allow that to mean anything. There was no way she would have anything to do with her dead sister's husband. Especially not the same man who had broken her heart so badly - ever again. But what's to be her fate when, despite her will to fight destiny, she keeps finding herself drawn to him? And what's to be her fate when their investigation leads to dangerous and life threatening discoveries?

How the fuck did this happen?”“These aren't questions we are supposed to answer over the phone, Kael and you know that too well. That's why I'm calling you to invite you over to dinner on Friday night so we can talk about it.”I swallowed, trying to concentrate on Elias' words but my head was spinning, “What's there to discuss?”“The fact that the old man left seventy percent of his entire wealth to you - for whatever reasons.”I couldn't ignore the jealousy I heard dripping from his words and it honestly wasn't surprising. Not at all.Elias has always been jealous of me, always wanted everything I had despite being the older one. At first it was all cute until it became old and tiring feeling like I was forever in competition with my only brother.It had went on, until I walked in on him fucking my fiancé at the time. That was when I had decided that I'd had enough and left home. Although that wasn't all
༺ KAEL'S POV.Death…The whole place smelled like death and it made my stomach coil in disgust. I took a deep breath and walked into the room which I had dreaded entering for a week. The week I had once shared with her…Thalia.The moment I stepped in, the scent that hit my nostrils almost brought me to my knees - literally.Lavender.The room still smelled like Thalia, still felt like Thalia...like she had just been here a few seconds, like she wasn't dead.My heart clenched but I breathed through the pain I had been trying so hard to keep down for days, and stepped further into the room trying so hard to not glance around. I only came here for one thing - Thalia's journal.But coming here, into Thalia's room was more painful than I'd ever imagined it'd be.Because it brought back so many things, memories that I didn't want to recall, that I wasn't ready to face. Because facing them would mean me welcoming guilt to mince with the pain I already felt.Facing these memories would mean
I could not do anything when I got back home. Nothing at all.I had ignored my parents who were talking in the sitting room and went straight upstairs to my room, where I had thrown myself on the bed.My heart was still beating fast, my body quivering like a frightened cow.Anytime I tried to close my eyes, all I saw was the monster, the creature I had seen in the library. And no matter how much I try to push the fear away, to forget about the whole memory I couldn't.Because with flashes of the monster flashing through my mind, came dozens of questions that just contributed to my headache.What was that?What…? Goddess above!! What the fuck was that?Where did it come from? How long had it been in the abandoned library?And then there was the small question which kept coming up even though I brushed it off severally - why didn't it attack me when it had the chance to?I mean - it would have killed me right there and then but why didn't it?But it had been moving towards me - though
"We don't know what's happening and the whole city is now in fear over this." One of the women said and shuddered."This has to be some demon. It just has to be." Another chipped in between sobs.Demons...With a shudder of my own, I ran up the stairs and into my room.I need to think - I need to think.What was actually going on? Say there's a dark force or shit, doing this, what's their aim and what exactly do they want?I sat down slowly on the bed, staring at my reflection on the mirror which stood at the other end of the room.Death!A voice screeched in my head and I froze, my eyes still glued to the mirror for whatever reason.Suddenly, the reflection on the mirror slowly disappeared, leaving nothing but a blank dark wall.My heart jumped into my throat but I kept staring at it,ignoring the fear racing through my veins, ignoring the way my head was suddenly spinning and the voice in my mind yelling at me to RUN.Slowly, a hole formed on the mirror, like a magical portal, turnin
Hey Sera!It's been long, hasn't it?I'm glad you gave me something exciting to spend the day doing but unfortunately there's no trace of what you are looking for on the internet.It's almost like it was wiped off from every single place with a duster.But! The good news is - I am currently visiting my grandmother and she remembered a story her grandmother used to tell them, about the mark.According to her, it was a story used to scare and caution children in their times, but with time nobody heard of these stories again.Stories of scary creatures coming out from the pit of hell to torment mankind.Creatures who once rose from the darkness - seeking domination over the earth, wanting revenge on mankind.It was just in tiny pieces because she didn't recall the full story but she remembered the mark and the creatures who bore them.It was a magical mark - and the names of these creatures are Vorlak.In her words, 'where they went, death and darkness followed. Their main aim was to end
Kael's face was pale as fuck when I came out of the bathroom and considering how long I had spent in there, heaving over and over, throwing up every content of my stomach, I was willing to wager that my face was just as white as his - maybe worse.As my eyes bore into his, my insides fluttered accompanied by that godforsaken urge to just get close to him and …Ugh!!.. so pathetic.My stomach turned again, and it took all I had left to not run back into the toilet and haul my intestines off.Why?I lifted my gaze slightly to my ceiling with a wince.Why was this happening? How could this be happening...how could it be even possible?How was it possible to be mated to the same bastard over and over again.This has to be a universe playing some sort of twisted game with me."Sera I..." "There's nothing to say. Come on, reject me now." I interrupted.The goddess might want to play around with me but I fucking want no part in this game - whatever it was and I will definitely not idly part
I didn't touch the book nor did I allow myself to think of anything related to it.Not about Thalia, not about my biological parents and certainly not about the visions I've had some times now.I couldn't bring myself to anyways even if I wanted to.No, my mind was occupied with other things. Things that were more important to me at the moment.Like the fact that, tonight's the full moon and another night of horror for me.Once it was 6pm I packed my things and sneaked out of the house to the only place I knew I would be safe for the night - to the only place I knew I could be.༺༺♡♡༻༻The old zoo was locked as usual and thoroughly empty when I got there.The place, as beautiful as it was, has been abandoned for decades now which makes it a perfect place for me every full moon."Hey there stranger." I turned at Madison's voice and smiled when I saw her approaching me with a smile that didn't quite meet her eyes."Hi Maddy," I greeted the old woman, allowing her to wrap me up in a hug
“Sera?” Kael's voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I gasped, turning to see him staring at me, his forehead wrinkled.“Huh?”“Are you still here with me? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?”My eyes darted down to the mark on the book again and I closed it hurriedly clearing my throat and masking whatever was on my face with a neutral expression.“I…I'm fine. The mark just seems strange that's all. I will go through the book later tonight but right now I have something to do.”Kael pursed his lips, “are you kicking me out?”“Is there anything else you'd love to share? If not then yes, we will discuss later about whatever I find out in that book.” I dropped the book on the table as if it was burning my skin and gave him a cold smile, “If you don't mind…”Thankfully Kael didn't argue, but only shrugged before turning and leaving my room.When the door closed behind me, I let out a breath of relief but it didn't calm or soothe my racing heart.I glanced at the old book laying on
/Fine/I stared at Kael's response which had come in barely ten seconds later, for the millionth time in the past one hour.'fine.’Just one word. No long stories, no questions.Just a quick response of one word.Somehow I felt a little disappointed at how fast he had agreed - and I hated myself for that. Hated myself for daring to care.This is good, this is what's right. I should not be sad that Kael is agreeing to it.Because there's no way I'm gonna allow myself to be entangled with him ever again - not even with the mother goddess' obvious intentions to play games with my life.I exhaled loudly and was about to send another text when a knock came at my door.I rushed to open the door, and nothing prepared me for the warmth and relief that slammed so hard into me at the sight of Kael standing at the door with a lazy smile, looking so hot. So deliciously hot.I shivered.Fucking mate bond!Sure, let's go ahead and blame everything on the innocent mate bond, why don't we?“Hi,” He
