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
“So what are you waiting for?” It wasn't a question. It was meant to be out as a dare but instead it was a whimper of hunger and desire and I knew it.With an animalistic growl, Kael wrapped his fingers around my neck flipping me against the wall in a swift motion before he slammed his lips on mine, in a mind numbing kiss.I was shaking. My hands, legs - entire body were shaking as Kael devoured my lips like a starving beast. His tongue slipped into my lips meeting mine in the most erotic and wet dance.My fingers dug into his head and my hips ached, desperately seeking him closer, yearning and craving for him to get closer.Goddess, I was dying, and mad with need. The need to be fucked, devoured by this man was worse than I had ever needed.Kael bit my lip and I moaned, clinging to him tighter.Dear goddess, this can't be me. I panted as he broke the kiss, and started pressing kisses into my neck as his hands wrapped around my plump Breasts, squeezing and moulding them over my pyjam
/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
“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
