༺ SeraIt'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.Thankf
“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 down, take

Anyone who ever said there's no place like home surely has never felt what it was like to be in my shoes.Oh sure, there was a time when my cozy home aas my solace but now, it's the place I dread the most.And the fact that I knew what was behind those doors waiting for me didn't help me in anyway.I paused at my door, taking a moment to offer a quick prayer to the goddess, before pushing the door open and walking in. Just as I predicted, Rebecca was sitting in the living room, her legs crossed and eyes flashing when I walked in.On seeing me, she stood up from the chair and walked towards me, her posture tense and off.“Where were you?” I raised a brow, “Excuse me?”“You were gone, for hours. I came to see you and you just left us here alone without any sort of explanation so where were you?”I pinched the bridge of my nose tightly, before turning to Rebecca.“Listen to me carefully, Rebecca let me make something clear to you.” I started, and took two steps closer to her, “I have no

“Oh there you are, Sera!,” My mother beamed as I walked into the sitting room dragging my wet umbrella behind me.“Hi mum.” I made to hug her but stopped when I saw that my whole family were gathered in the sitting room - including my boyfriend, Kael.My brow raised in surprise. He never told me he was coming over. Fuck I've been texting him all day but he never responded.Was everything okay?But judging from the grin on my parent's face, everything was perfectly fine.But what's going on?“Come on in dear. Come in. We have got great news.”“Exciting one!” Dad quipped in and I raised my brow as I took off my coat and followed my mother into the sitting room.“What's going on?”Kael was seated beside my sister and he was the only one not smiling.No - instead he's trying as much as possible to avoid my gaze.Which just raised my suspicions because seriously - what was going on?“Okay, so hit me! What's the good news?”“Your sister Thalia here and Kael are engaged! They are to wed next
I shivered for like the millionth time, as I walked down the streets hurriedly.The shivers had nothing to do with cold - oh no. The sun was shining very brightly.It was something else - something that I couldn't quite place my hand on no matter how hard I tried.But even though I couldn't identify what the problem was, it was still dark enough for me to feel fear, scared.Because something was definitely up.Something bad.I've been having these feelings for the past couple of weeks.At first, I waved it off as my wolf's instincts were running haywire but this is something more than bare instincts.I took the turn that led directly to my house, and a sudden headache stopped me in my tracks.Suddenly, it seems like I have been transported to a whole different realm. The beautiful houses around me slowly disappeared, replaced by nothing but ruins, chaos and dead bodies littered all over the land.And those screams…Dear goddess, those heart wrenching screams that sounded like they wer
This has better be a joke.I dropped my hand immediately from his arm and turned to take the tray - needing to get away from him, but Kael grabbed my hand, stopping me.“Sera wait - we need to talk about this.”“There's nothing to talk about, Kael.” I murmured calmly, even though I was feeling anything but, “excuse me. I need to get these to the sitting room.”“You can't be serious Sera. Something big just happened and you cannot just walk away like it's nothing.”Oh the nerve of him.“You are the one who is definitely not serious. You rejected me, remember? There's no way the goddess has decided to pair us together again. Besides, even if that's the case,” I grabbed the tray, “it means nothing. We shouldn't even be having this conversation. My sister, your wife died only less than twenty four hours ago. Whatever this is - I suggest you trash it.”I bumped into his shoulder as I walked past him out of the kitchen.Although my whole body was shaking, I still managed to push whatever ju
