Rooka wanted to run to Serena the moment she leaned against the doorframe. If not for Wayne holding on to his arm, he would have rushed to her side. 

"You cannot enter the house Alpha," they all looked at Lily. She was sitting on Nuru's shoulder. "No one can enter."

"Why?" He asked, even though he cannot see her, he was able to pinpoint where she was. 

"Her mother. You were able to set foot yesterday because it was her will. Now it's her turn to understand why this happened. If not the whole thing, at least part of it."

"This has been bothering me…" Nuru said, "you guys are so small, how can you have a loud voice."

"Magic."

Rooka shook his head and looked back at the house. Their connection was faint, but he can feel her pain. If he could only take some of it. "Kaz, Nuru, Layla, return to the main city and rent a chopper. A chopper that can accommodate all of us." 

"It is good that both Megan and Rena have no luggage, we will just buy what we need in the places that we will be going." Wayne continued. "We need to be back in Manila by nightfall and driving is not a good option."

"As you command, Alpha, Beta," the three said. They all went to the car they used and drove away. 

"Are you sure you want to stay?" Wayne asked Megan. 

"Yes." She quietly replied. 

The three of them looked at the house again, wondering if Rena was still okay.

    After leaving the office, she stood at the foot of the stairs. She looked up and began walking up. When she touched the handrail, another memory surfaced. Her mom was casting a spell over the entire house. A spell that will activate once they are gone. Celeste's heart was breaking, and there was nothing more they could do. They have avoided their death numerous times, and it is time to finally accept it. But it was so tempting to run again, to hide, to just forget everything. However, fate will always be one step ahead of them. "Lem, Beth, Lily, Mac," she called the Sparks. One by one they showed themselves. All looked the same, but their eyes and manner differ from one another.

    "I want some ice cream." Serena whispered against Rooka's neck. Eyes closed, with an occasional sniff, it took her more than an hour to cry her pain. He knew it wasn't over yet, and the bravery she was showing was good. He looked at the house. It was slowly burning down to ground zero. Even the concrete walls crumbled. It was a testament that Rena's flames were hot, it even melted the metal support of the house. "Strawberry ice cream?" He asked. He felt her nod in agreement. She was moving a bit making Rooka close his eyes, counting in Arabic. It was not time for his body to react to his mate's shifting motions. When he heard a clinking of glasses, he looked down and saw her holding five empty vials. He gently draws her face away from his neck, tilts her face so he can look at her. He raised his eyebrow in question.

    "She will be fine, princess," Lem said.Serena thought differently. Lily may be invincible, but it doesn't mean she cannot be detected. "Lem -"."You have to trust her," he said quietly. "My sister knows the danger we face. We have been dodging death for quite some time, so please, trust her.""Wait, Lily is your sister?""Yes, Beth and Mac are my cousins," Lem replied. He was looking at them while they interacted with Nuru and Layla. It was rare to find them with humans, other than the alpha pair and Rena, it was the first time they had any human int

    It took an hour and a half to reach the private airstrip where the jet was fueled and ready to go.Rena and Megan were accustomed to private flights. Megan's dad, Mido is a well-known geneticist and would travel with Megan when she was little. While Rena was a paper artist, there are times that her works were transported with her because some of the paper she used was infused with gold or other precious gems. Their fathers would always hire a private jet, but this jet was a thing of beauty.The outer hull was stunning. Black monochrome covered the body. An outline of a wolf on a dune can be seen on the tail of the jet, while the word Shifter Dunes was written in both Arabic and English can be read on either side of the main body. The cockpit also looked like the head of a black wolf as the white outline was artistically painted

    Supper was a success. The only leftover food that the two Alpha have prepared was coleslaw and garlic bread. The grilled meat and the rice were gone.Nuru and Kaz were on dishwashing duty. Surprisingly, the jet had no dishwasher. When asked, Rooka said to remind passengers they do not have servants to do things for them."Why do you have bears as your pilots?" Serena asked. She was beside Rooka, who was talking on the phone. She was seated near the window, while the man was on the aisle side. She looked at the amount of paperwork he was reading. She shuddered, he must have seen her reaction because he raised his eyebrow. She shook her head and looked at Wayne for an answer to her question."Ed and Ted? Yes, laugh, but it was their mom who gave the names. Father a

    The princess, her friend, and the Middle Eastern Pack left six and a half hours ago. There was a hum in the air that made Lily rouse from her sleep. She was resting on the birdhouse Celeste made for them when they moved to the Philippines.Clutching the small vial, she watched as a sound of a motorcycle approached the property. A man on a black-colored Streetfighter V4 wore the same shade of jacket and helmet. It was impossible to see who the rider was, but at the back of her mind, there is only one person who she can think of.He stopped at the entrance of the property, looking at the remains of a house that he longed to return. Not a single structure was left standing, all were burned to the ground. He turned the engine off, kicked the stand, and stood up. The man took off his helmet and placed it on the handlebar. His silver-green eyes never left the house."Prince," Lily began.His ga

    They did venture into the city where the statue of Lord Shiva was currently being presented to the public. While Nuru, Layla, and Megan were walking ahead, Wayne was behind the trio. Scanning the area as they walk.The place was beautiful; since it was almost dawn, there were few people on the ground. Some were barefoot, while others were giving tribute to Lord Shiva. There was an air of tranquility that would make you realize how precious life is.For Wayne, however, being in a sacred place was lost to him. What he did enjoy was the view of the Himalayas. The construction of the temple and the city at the foot of the mountains gave people an up-close look at it. With his eyes, he can see the jagged rocks and the slopes of the mountains.He remembered climb

    "Is there something wrong, princess?" Lem asked. Serena was behind Rooka when she felt an ominous presence in the air. It was just a hint, but she was aware that something was not right. When she saw Rooka pause and glanced at Kaz, her instincts were screaming at her. "Serena, why don't you drive the ATV?" He asked, there was a playful tone in his voice, but when she looked at his eyes, Death was showing itself. Serena smiled and said, "No, I'm fine. You drive. I don't know how to drive an ATV. Dad never had a chance to teach me." "Okay, but you will be riding in front of me-" "No." Serena looked at him, his body was tense like h

    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.He was s

    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! Fhota, paka hindi na ako maka labas ng jet pag sinabi ko ha,” Megan replie

    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
