Rooka knew that something was wrong.

The bond he has with Serena may be new, but she has always been part of his soul. Even when he felt her die, somehow, a small shard must have been left behind.

“Rooka, you okay?” asked Wayne. They were having coffee at Hotel Fairmont Monte-Carlo, where they would be staying until the time of the race. It would be a four-day event together with the Gala.

“Serena,” was all he said.

Wayne was silent while he looked at the Mediterranean Sea. The sun was hiding behind the clouds, giving them a good view.

“Something’s wrong?” all Wayne got for the other man was a nod. He waited. Knowing his brother’s way of thinking; he needed to organize his thoughts before speaking whatever was in his mind.

“Serena dreamt of Megan dying.”

The word dying made Wayne’s inside turn cold. He reached for his phone before remembering that he did not even have the woman’s number. He was about to grab Rooka’s phone but he stopped mid-way when he glanced at his brother.

    "Rena!" A voice pulled her from her mussing. When Serene~Rena for her friends~ Daria looked at who was calling her, it was her mom. Celeste Daria looked at her only daughter and smiled. As the only Alpha Female of the last line Were Dires, she never expected to have a female child who hates going out. At the age of 37, she was way past the stage where eligible males will notice her. And she like it the way it is. "Mom?" Rena removed her headset and looked at her mother. "Is something wrong?", she asked. Going further into the room, she looked around. Her walls were a mixture of black and grey. An odd combination for a girl, but it works. Two tall bookshelves were on the right side of the room. The bed was at the opposite of it. Her computer and table were near the open window facing the trees looking out the forest in their home. Beside the shelves, were a work table where she makes her kirigami projects. The table was devoid o

    The place was clean and its single occupant was busy doing one-hand push-ups. His shirt soaked in his sweat as he counted. "Hundred fifty-eight, hundred fifty-nine, hundred sixty." He clapped before using the other hand to do the rest of the counting.Rooka, wasn't sure why he felt restless but his usual routine was not helping. Ever since he felt the resonance two hours ago, he felt a need to go somewhere, and his wolf had been howling inside his head ever since.As the Alpha, and leader of the Middle East Were Nation, he knows the meaning behind the resonance. A shift of power, and death. From which place, that he do not know, but judging from its power, he guess it was just nearby.Footsteps can be heard approaching his location, after a few seconds, his beta's scent neared. Not long after he heard his voice, "Yo, Rook, father wants us to be in his office ASAP. And before you ask me, I don't know what it is about. Mother just texted me."

    It was an annoying buzz that broke the moment. His head snapped, body tense, his eyes scanning the area looking for any anomaly. A low growl reverberated from his chest. His wolf, suddenly aware that something was not right with their surrounding. In their mind link, Rooka broadcasted, "Fan out, there is something in the air that is making -" he stopped mid command, the woman in his arms was trying hard to hold back the chuckle inside. He looked at her, waiting for an explanation of her bizarre behavior. "Care to explain what is going on, my minx?" He felt her take a deep breath before lifting her head against his neck. Even when her eyes are puffy from crying, she looked beautiful. Her coffee-colored eyes shone with sorrow, a deep sense of loss, and intelligence. The sad smile she gave him broke his heart. Softly she said, "Lem, stop it." The buzzing stopped instantly. Rooka raised his eyebrow, for an explanation. She sighed, not looking

    Rooka was finally kissing her. The woman who calls the other half of his soul. The one he thought has died thirty years ago is finally in his arms. Without breaking eye contact, he slowly brushed his lips against hers, once, twice, making sure that she was not going to hit him. The third time, he swiped his tongue on her close lips, making her gasp. Without hesitation, he started to deepen it. There was minimal resistance, maybe because, in a way, she was attracted to him, either way, she started to melt against him, he warped his arm around her waist to keep her from falling. She was an explosion of flavor that he was not expecting. Maybe it was the food they had, or maybe he was just overthinking, but she was addicting, something he cannot live without. A soft moan escaped her lips, causing him to explore more of her mouth.

    "Who are the Hidden Ones?" Layla asked."The what one?" Questioned Nuru."The Hidden Ones," everyone said at the same time."Oh," he paused and asked, "who are they?"Layla just hit him on the back of his head, causing him to yell. Trust Nuru to make a joke out of everything. But it was a valid question.After Megan's biting question, they all laughed. Breaking the tension surrounding them. They went back to the inn to explain what had happened.They were once again in the kitchen. Rena was making at least two Filipino dishes, and Rooka was fixing some fruit shake for everyone. He used the groceries in the car to make the shakes. Onc

    "They wanted to give you a normal life," Lem said. It was past midnight, but sleep eluded Serena. She was at the nipa hut again. This time, Lem was with her. The three Sparks wanted to be with others."I got that, Lem, but why go through all of that? They never hid me, far from it, they love my paperwork exhibitions. I mean, you're always with mom, so you know what I mean.""They didn't do it to hide you from humans, but to hide you from your people." He looked at her, there were so many questions in her mind, but she knew that Lem didn't know everything. "Celeste saw how they were going to die each year, princess. And you were always the catalyst. The first time she dreamt of death was when you were just two months old. The cause? A fire you created.""I don't have -"

    "Coffee."It was the first thing Serena said when she stepped inside the kitchen past ten in the morning.Megan was fixing some meat sandwiches and greeted her. Rena just nodded and headed straight for the coffee pot. She grabbed a tall mug from the shelf and poured the life brew together with several spoonfuls of sugar and cream. After giving a quick stir, she took a long drink and sighed happily."Baby, if you will be like that every morning, I can give you something better than coffee," Rooka said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.Rena stopped drinking, and Megan stopped slicing tomatoes. Both looked at him and said,"Is it more creamy than c

    Looking at the four noisy people eating at the balcony of the café, no one would think one of them nearly died.The canapés, pastries, teas, juice, and carafe of coffee in front of them, made every patron wonder if they consumed everything. They DID eat everything, but it was a slow process.Megan was enjoying her raspberry cheesecake while having a cup of cold Americano. Serena was having the last slice of the Key Lime pie they had, with a tall glass, yes, a glass of affogato.The proprietor was horrified by the request, yet when he served the drink and saw the delight of the woman, he could not feel anything but joy.The twins were sharing a banana sundae with a cup of espresso.A normal human would hole up and cry. They would not even set foot outside for years. But Megan and Serena? They were the opposite.“Bhe, sasabihin mo ba kay Wayne?” asked Serena.[Bhe, should I tell Wayne what happened?]“Gago ka ba!

    Megan saw her life flash before her eyes.Flash. A woman’s voice was heard singing in the room. Megan remembered that sweet voice. It was her mother. She was the sun that lit up their household. No matter how difficult things had become, she was the beacon of light.Flash. The sadness she left when she died of a car accident. She was hit because of her. Her mom died because of her. Just for a stupid cola. Now, she will never hear her sweet voice, she will never feel her gentle touch, and the light will forever be gone from their house.Flash. Meeting Serena for the first time. She looked so brave punching the kid who had been bullying her ever since the first day at school.Flash. Her first kiss. The first time she gave her body, soul, and love to a man, only to be broken after two months.Wayne.“I’m sorry,” she whispered.Megan’s body never hit the ground though.Layla had somehow found a way to save her. The minute they touched the ground, Megan could not help but broke into tears.

    "Sino…ba…ang…nag…aya…dito?!" [Who..the..fuck…wanted…to…be here?!] Megan asked, as she struggled to catch her breath.Rena was too tired to answer her. All of them wanted to visit the tower. Each of them had been on the top of the deck before. But never like this.It was a slow day, and somehow, Nuru had pulled some strings so they could have the place for themselves. Serena and Megan were expecting they will be using the elevator to go up…not the fucking stairs. “How long till we get there?” asked Serena. She was breathless, but not as much as Megan. Both were sweating, and their muscles were sore. Nuru on the other hand looked like he was taking a stroll in the park. "Another fifteen minutes or so…" Nuru replied. Then he looked down, he was at least three levels higher than them. "With the rate the two of you are going, it will be nightfall before we get there!" Serena shook her head, and looked below. It was the worst decision she had ever made now. Nausea caused her to suddenly

    "Are you okay, Rena?" Nuru asked. The sudden questions made Serena smile. Nuru was the troublemaker in the group for him to notice something wrong was so, rare. "Trouble in paradise?" he added. Nuru, Layla, Megan, and Serena were still at the hotel. They were still trying to figure out what they were going to do for the day. Something was off with the alpha pair, it was suitable, but it was there. He had known Rooka for a long time, and even though they were the same age as the Rowena, Rooka had always been for there younger pack member. He may be the leader, but Nuru was their elder brother. So, the tension between them was affecting them too. "I'm okay, Nuru. Try not to worry too much about me. I just had too much new shit that has been happening. With our bond rebuilding, it kinda overpowers everything." Serena replied. Exhaustion could be heard in her voice, a clear sign that she was not resting that much. Bedside, Rooka was rather demanding. "Yeah, all the sex…" Megan said in

    "Dragons?" That was all Megan could say. The idea that dragons were real was amazing, and … surreal. To think that dragons are real was something no one has ever thought possible. "Yes, bhe, dragons." Serena replied. There was a teasing tone in her voice. She and Megan had this fascination on dragon. It was a no brainer that she read books that are based on dragons. For Serena, they were mystical. Knowing that they do exists was something close to having her own fairy tale. "So, your seal is broken. The kids are awake, and then what?" Asked Wayne. There was a note of skepticism in his voice. "We let them be with them," Serena replied. She was looking down at the busy streets of Paris. But her mind was over the things that she learned. Fae, dragons, and children that can destroy the world. And she has a mate. Serena sighed. She may have Rooka, but she cannot help but feel something was missing. Like a puzzle piece that was there but cannot never have that right slot to fit into.

    Paris was one of those cities that Serena enjoyed visiting with her family. This was the first trip to her favorite place without them. And the first one as the Alpha of the Asian Region. With Megan beside her, they strolled inside the lobby of Europe Hotel Paris Eiffel. When they reached the front desk, they were greeted with a smile. “Welcome back, Sir Rooka,” the woman behind the desk said with a warm smile. “Here is the key to your suite, will there be anything else?”Serena and Megan could not help but look at Rooka, he smiled and pulled Serena. “Yes,” he told the woman, “is there name under Daire in your records?” he asked. An absent-minded kiss was dropped on her forehead. Then he whispered, “you okay?”Serena nodded. There was something about this particular apartment that made her feel nostalgic. She got her answer when the receptionist said, “Yes, there is. The room next to yours Sir Rooka is named for Serena Daire.” Serena closed her eyes. They

    "Zahir, is that you?" Khalid asked. He and his mate just got back from the airport to say goodbye to their sons. They were not worried, but as a parent, they made sure to see them off, even if the trip would be a day or two. The young man in question, removed his shades and smiled at the older man. Silver-green eyes, met whiskey-colored ones, the same shade of eyes just like his son. "Uncle Khalid," Zahir greeted, he bowed and hugged him after. "It's good to see you again." Khalid, patted his back before touching their foreheads, for a quick prayer. Once that was done, Zahir looked at Seraphina and kissed her checks. "Your

    "We will be landing at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport in about eight hours."Ted said via the overhead speaker. They were in the air again, after a two-day stopover at Dahab, they were once again, on their way to the Werewolf Nation stronghold in Scotland. However, they need to attend the Annual Pantera Gala in Monaco. They were headed to Paris because Rowena’s friend was a prominent designer and will be having a runway show. It was, after all, Fashion Week. Serena was looking out the window, while Rooka was on the other side of the plane, doing whatever a CEO does. Wayne, Nuru, and Kaz were also busy reading business reports. Layla was in the cockpit with the bears, and Megan was sitting across Serena reading a book. The only Sparks with them was Lem, who was sitting on the other side of the window where Rena was. “Is there something wrong princess?” asked Lem.“Why do you call me ‘Princess?'"“Because you are.”“How?”Lem was qui
