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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    ༺ 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

    ༺ Kael“You can't be serious,” I murmured, my chest suddenly tight, “How? When? 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

    ༺ Sera It's been one whole week since I last heard from Kael. One week of no calls, or texts.Although to be fair I had not tried to reach out to him either...and the truth was that, I've been avoiding him for a while now - well I was, until he suddenly disappeared.Four days ago I had pretended to pass by his house, and to my surprise everywhere was locked.At first it seemed normal, but now I was just worried because what if - just what if something bad had happened to him?Kael couldn't just stand up and disappear without a warning - or would he? How much do I even know about the man? Yet I made myself pass by his house again. It was a Sunday, so perhaps he would be home. If he wasn't, then I'd have to do something...and fast. I was starting to get very worried.And I didn't have the time to be worried about Kael. Not when I already had so much on my plate as it was.But one thing I could not bear right now is another loss.Not even if it's the loss of a man that I loathed.T

    “Excuse me?” Sera screeched. I took a deep breath, looking away from her burning gaze as my chest tightened further. I had no idea why I had come to see her, of all people. No idea at all. But with everything that had gone on so far, I just needed...needed someone I could comfortably talk to. What made me feel that Sera would be that someone - I had no idea, but before I knew it I saw myself heading directly here. "Thalia, your sister's death was my fault." I mentioned again and she swayed slightly, her finger pressing her knuckles as she closed her eyes for a few seconds. When she opened her eyes, they were blank...and didn't betray any iota of emotion, which made me confused, and scared. This was a knowledge I never wanted to share with anyone. What was wrong with me? What made me think that she wouldn't throw me out and never see me again. Or even make do on her threats to kill me herself. "You aren't making sense," she said and pointed toward the bed, "why don't you sit

    The first thing I noticed was the cold. It wrapped around me, heavy and unforgiving. The air smelled damp, thick with dust and something metallic. My body ached, my head pounding like a hammer was inside it. When I tried to move, my arms wouldn’t even budge. Panic crawled up my throat. I forced my eyes open. Darkness. A single dim light flickered above, its glow barely reaching the corners of the room. The walls were made of concrete, cracked and stained with things I didn’t want to think about. My breath came out in short, shallow gasps, fogging up the cold air. I tried to move again, but something tugged at my wrists. Tied. My arms were pulled behind me, thick ropes digging into my skin. My ankles were bound too, tight enough that I could feel the circulation slowing. I swallowed hard. My mouth was dry, my throat sore. The last thing I remembered was answering Sebastian’s call.

    The atmosphere in the banquet hall was electric, a stark contrast to the tense exchange I had just had with Roy and Shayla. As Jax led me through the opulent space, I couldn’t help but marvel at the elegant décor—crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceilings, casting a warm glow over the gathered guests. The scent of gourmet food wafted through the air, mingling with the soft hum of laughter and conversation. It was like stepping into a different world. “Do you see that table?” Jax pointed to a long table adorned with an impressive spread of delicacies and surrounded by the elite members of the pack. “That’s where the Alphas and their betas are seated. I want you to meet them.” My heart raced. Would they see me as an outsider? Just moments ago, I had been nothing more than a target for ridicule. Now, I was stepping into a world filled with power and prestige, all thanks to Jax. I swallowed hard, my stomach fluttering with nerves. “I’m not sure I’m ready for this,” I confessed,

    Sera "So you heard about the eclipse," Madison said as I approached her. I nodded, hugging the backpack containing my parents book to my chest. Since I'd picked it up at the alley, I'd been wary of losing it again. The mystery of how it had burned iny house but still somehow been delivered back to me still haunted me. Too many mysteries haunted me at this point. I couldn't think about them now though. Even though every part of me rebelled at the thought of wasting another day in a damned cafe while Rose was getting farther and farther away from me, I knew that I'd be no use to her tonight. "The answers you seek are on this ground," I muttered under my breath, staring around the zoo. I didn't even know the questions I was supposed to be asking anymore, not to talk of the answers. I shook my head, shutting down that line of reasoning. Madison and I made our way to the cage in relative silence. The two times I'd come to this zoo in search of answers, it had only ended with m

    "Wake up," a voice whispered urgently in my head. I came to with a gasp, jerking upright and gasping for air. I stared around, trying to determine where I was. It was barely dawn, the skies still a little bit dark, and the moon starting to sink below the horizon. I tried to climb to my feet, but ended up stumbling to the ground, feeling too weak and drained. What the hell was going on? My memories were foggy at best, but I could remember going to the zoo, and then_ Oh goddess. I jumped to my feet, sudden energized. I needed to figure out where I was and how I'd gotten here. I had a feeling I knew how I had gotten here though, the main question was how much damage had I done. "The beast went this way!" I heard someone cry, "I can see it's footprints." I held my breath as I heard the sound of boots crunching against dried leaves and twigs. And then I saw flash lights waving around. People were coming this way and apparently, they were in search of a beast. There was no nee
