"Mine." The word escaped from Kendrick's lips. He continued walking towards the girl with the intoxicating scent. He felt he could drown in her heavenly scent the more he inhaled it. As he got closer to Serena, Xavier stepped in front of her, shielding her from Kendrick's view.Kendrick's eyes snapped towards Xavier. His grey eyes turned black as night as his wolf threatened to emerge. Apparently, him and his wolf didn't like the person in front of their mate. "Move aside witch",he growled out. Xavier stood his ground without am ounce of fear in him as he stood in front of his sister, protecting her.[Alpha, please control yourself. The witch is just being protective towards his twin] Jack mind linked Kendrick in panic. Even as he did so, he was thrown out of the Alpha's head instantly. Finally, Logan spoke up. "Alpha Kendrick, would you do me the honour of being patient?"Kendrick stood without moving, his eyes still as dark as night. "You're in my
Serena heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was her brother, she frowned and turned away. She didn't want to talk to him right now. The knock sounded again and she yelled out, "Go away Xavier!". She felt the door knob turned and groaned inwardly. Xavier did not just know when to leave her alone. "Serena",a deep voice called. Serena stiffened on the bed. That wasn't Xavier's voice. It was the voice of the Alpha. Slowly, Serena turned round on the bed and her eyes met the Alpha's stormy grey eyes. What was he doing here? "Hello",she said. "Can I help you with anything?" Kendrick smiled at her softly. He shook his head and went to sit close to her on the bed. The room was so full of her smell and it was making him feel lightheaded. "I just had to come see you before I leave",he said. "May I?",he asked, indicating if he could hold her hand. Serena was reluctant but curiosity and intrigue got the better of her. She nodded and let him to
"I can see you actually like him",a voice said behind her. Instantly her smile was erased as she turned and confronted her brother. She didn't want him to ruin her happy mood so she chose to remain silent and was about to walk away when he held her back. "Rena I'm sorry",he pleaded. "I was an idiot to tell you things like that when I know nothing about the Alpha. A complete idiot",he said. Serena secretly agreed but she decided not to say anything. Xavier watched her remain quiet and he grew restless. "I was just worried that he will take you away from me, from us",he said and lowered his eyes. Serena's heart melted when she heard his words. She couldn't stay angry at him no matter how hard she tried. "I'm not going anywhere",she said to him. Xavier looked up at her confused. "But you're his mate",he said. Serena quickly explained to him the agreement Kendrick made with their parents. Xavier eyes widened in unders
Somewhere deep in the mountains, a certain hooded figure screamed out in rage as she vented out her anger by destroying her surroundings. The cave shook horribly as if it would collapse. She raised boulders with a wave of her hands and slammed them against each other. She was raging mad."How dare they disobey my order?!",she roared out in fury. Her orders to the night prowlers was simple! Bring the chosen one alive. They only needed to do as she said but it seemed they chose to do what they wanted. She felt it within her, the death of her messengers which were two of the night prowlers.This only meant the chosen one's powers were getting stronger. And this was the reason why she needed the young royal white witch. So she could harness her powers for herself. Now it was all a waste. After her anger had reduced, she whirled around and faced her minions that had been cowering back in fear. No one wanted to aggravate the mistress in her dark mood."Keep a close watch on the coven of th
"GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER",Logan roared the minute he saw what Kendrick was trying to do. He waved his hand and Kendrick flew back and crashed into the closet. Serena shrieked and jumped off the bed trying to get to Kendrick. In the blink of an eye, Kendrick had shifted into his massive silver beast and now he roared at white witch. No one would dare treat the Alpha like that and go unpunished. Logan just stared at him unfazed. The beast charged forward and Logan prepared to lash out a spell to take the Alpha out when suddenly Serena stood in front of her father. The beast halted instantly as he gazed at his mate. No matter the fury and rage of the lycan, he would never dream of hurting his mate. He snarled at her, wanting her to step aside so he could tear apart the smug witch. "KENDRICK ENOUGH!",the sound of her voice pushed out tidal waves and slammed into the beast and Logan. They both flew back and crashed in one corner of the room. Serena held h
Serena walked towards her brother's room. She just finished explaining everything that happened to her parents and The Sisters Of The Night. She told them about the creatures that attacked her, about their plans and about the silver dagger. But she couldn't remember anything after that. It was blurry in her head. The Sisters, six figures in red hooded robes were interesting to see. She wished she had seen their faces, but they never once removed their hoods. She hoped to see their faces on the night of her party. Now she left them in the throne room and moved up to her brother's room. Her party was two days from now and she was feeling nervous and excited at the same time. She would meet new people and she wouldn't know who to trust. Talking to her brother would calm her down, so she skipped to his room. The door was locked when she tried to open it. Strange, Serena thought. Xavier never locked his door. Even at night, he never locked it because she would often
The pack house was a bee hive of preparations. Everyone was busy as they prepared the numerous gifts to take with them to the welcome party of the chosen one. The gifts were for the Alpha's mate, the royal white witch that the prophecy foretold and their soon-to-be Luna. Some were excited that their Alpha had finally found his mate while some kept wondering how their new Luna will be. Kendrick stood on the balcony of his chambers, gazing out as Leo, his beta barked out orders through the mind link. His gamma, Jack was preparing his suit that he would put on to the party. Kendrick didn't register all these things as his mind was somewhere else. He couldn't stop thinking about his mate. After the short discussion with Logan two days back, he left immediately without saying goodbye to her. The reason was that, his beast was still trying to emerge and he wouldn't have been able to control himself in her presence a second time. The mate bond kept getting stron
"I thank you all for honouring my invitation", Logan's voice boomed out. He was dressed in a silver suit similar to Xavier's own and his wife was dressed in an elegant silver ball gown, looking like a beauty goddess beside her husband. One could see where Serena got her great beauty from. The Michaelsons' family were the only ones dressed in the silver colour as it represented the royalty of the white witches. The colors were silver and purple. "Years ago, I had to give my daughter out to protect her from the black witches",Logan continued, one hand around Isabel's waist. "I thought I would never see her again. But today I am proud to inform you all that my daughter has returned. I present to you",Logan turned aside and looked up at his daughter that was waiting for his cue before coming out. "I present to you, my daughter. The chosen one in the prophecy, your princess, Serena". That was her cue. Serena gulped and straightened her back as she
Three years later... Serena sat in the garden behind the house and watched her children play around. Her first son Jack,named after Kendrick's gamma was a spitting image of his father. He had the dark coloured hair of Kendrick with a wide purple streak on the side and her silver eyes. Even in his young age, he was already showing signs of a great warrior. Right now, he was in a playful duel with Rohan, Xavier's son. The two fought with plastic swords and giggled as they ran around the garden, charging at each other, looking so happy and carefree. Jack would sometimes run towards her for safety from his cousin Rohan before running off again. Her eyes followed him around, filled with so much love and pride. She couldn't have asked for a better son. And his twin sister, Anastasia sat beside her in the shade of an apple tree. She chattered to herself as she played with her numerous dolls and mini tea cups and pots. A massive dollhouse was beside her, almost a
In the end, Serena finally understood why Anastasia told her Kendrick alone would be able to save her from the darkness. Anastasia knew if Kendrick's life was threatened by the darkness, she would do anything to save him. And saving him would in turn save her. She had no idea how the words escaped from her mouth and she told Anastasia so. After banishing the darkness, Anastasia had appeared to Serena to congratulate her for fulfilling the prophecy. "If I had known I only had to speak to the darkness for it to leave me, I would have done that a long time ago",Serena said to her. "And how would you have wielded the sword of death?",Anastasia asked. "Everything that happened was written before time. And it happened for a reason. The darkness needed to be in you so you could use the sword to defeat Andromeda". "Where is she now?",Serena asked. "Her soul has been sent back to the underworld",Anastasia said. "And she won't be barga
Thunder struck the earth as Serena spun in the air and slammed the sword into Andromeda's chest. Andromeda's eyes widened as she felt the sword sinking deep into her chest. She could feel that it was not an ordinary weapon. It was a weapon of mass darkness, stronger than the one within her. Realization dawned on her. The chosen one had deceived her again. Blood spluttered from her mouth and she stared in shock at Serena who stared back at her with a triumphant look. "How....?",she whispered hoarsely. "You thought you were always a step forward Andromeda",Serena said. "But you never knew when the plans changed behind your back. It's over. Surrender and return to the underworld". Andromeda bared her teeth and gripped Serena's throat. She wouldn't go down without a fight. "IF I'M GOING TO THE UNDERWORLD, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!",she screamed. A dagger appeared in her hand and she raised it to stab Sere
"Are you sure this would work?",Serena asked after Melody finished explaining her plan. "If Andromeda discovers it, it's over for us. We need to make it foolproof". "Trust me Serena",Melody said. "This will work. Just do according as I tell you to". "Alright",Serena said. She turned towards the door and felt it with her palm. "We just have to find a way to get out of this room". "You could bring it down with your powers",Melody suggested. Serena took a deep breath and focused her spells and energy on the door. Nothing happened. She tried again, this time harder but still nothing. Sweat appeared on her forehead with the amount of energy she was using to bring down the door and yet, nothing happened. "What's wrong?",Melody asked. "I don't know",Serena said breathlessly. She was panting hard with the effort she used on the door. "My spells aren't working". "Could it be because of
"KILL THEM ALL!",Andromeda screamed to her army. There was an uproar and the black wolves took off, eye gleaming with evil darkness, their fangs dripping with black blood. "ATTACK!",Kendrick yelled and shifted into his enormous beast. He looked different;his fur was mixed with gold and he was larger than his previous size. His eyes burned with silver fire and his claws elongated, ready to tear into his enemies. His fangs throbbed, wanting to bite down and just kill. [Protect the Luna],Leo yelled to the warriors through the mind link. It was a suicide move as Andromeda said. They knew they were greatly outnumbered but still, they chose to fight. Protecting the Luna was their priority and as they said, they would gladly give their lives to protect her. The battle began. The black wolves clashed against the lycans in hot combat. Xavier and Tabitha were not left out. Xavier was fueled with rage as he remembered how Cassie was brutal
"Jack",Kendrick called in a serious voice. "Take the remaining lycans and form a border around the perimeter. Make sure you all stay within the barrier protecting it. Hold Andromeda back for as long as you can". "Yes Alpha",Jack said. "Wait, what about Leo?", Tabitha asked in a shrill voice. "Where's Leo?". "The Beta stayed back to hold back the witch's dark creatures and give me enough time to escape",Crane said. "But they caught up with me. I was lucky to escape with my life". Tabitha turned instantly and made for the door. "Tabitha wait!",Xavier said and ran after her. He caught her arm and swung her around. "I'm going to find Leo",she said. "Let go off me". Suddenly there was a loud explosion. Men shouted outside and the snarls of a thousand creatures could be heard. "She's here",Serena whispered. "JACK!",Kendrick yelled above the sound of the explosion. "FIND LE
Leo divided the remaining twenty lycans into three groups. Seven stayed around the hide out in their wolf form, blending with the surroundings and keeping watch over the environment. Six stayed on the trees, also in their wolf form so they could merge with the trees and scout the area from a better height. They were to report immediately to the lycans on the ground if they saw anything strange. The lycans would then report to Jack who would relay the message to the Alpha. They were not to break the chain of communication. The remaining six lycans would follow Leo into the deserted city to observe and possibly figure out the plans of Andromeda. "Be alert warriors",Leo said to the lycans. "This is a very crucial time. The witch has been biding her time, waiting for an opportunity to strike. She wants only the Luna, and she would destroy anyone in her way to get her. Forget everything I said before. Protect the Luna with your lives". "Yes Beta Leo",they chorus
Kendrick placed Serena gently on his bed and drew the thick covers up to her chest. He walked back to the door and shut it, turning the key and locking it. He didn't need any disturbance. He made his way to another door that was adjacent to the bed and opened it. There was a mini bathroom and a closet within it. He took out a black shirt and black pants and put them on. Then he brought out a big white box from the closet and shut the door again. He walked back to the bedside and placed the box on the table beside the bed. He worked in complete silence. It was a first aid box and it was mainly used to treat the severe wounds of the prisoners he tortured. The reason why he treated their wounds was to keep them alive for further questioning. He brought out a white bottle and some wool. A white satchel followed and some kind of white powdery stuff. Moving closer to Serena, he first dabbed the wool with the liquid from the bottle. The harsh smell of the alcohol
Few hours earlier....Xavier arrived in the room with Serena in his arms. It was a simple room with two low beds and a single chair. The tiled floor was cold to the touch and the little windows had dark coloured curtains shielding the room from the harsh light. The lantern cast a dim glow in the room."Put her here",Tabitha said to Xavier. "There's not much in this hideout. Just enough to keep us safe and help us prepare"."It's better than nothing",Xavier said. He gently placed Serena on the bed and pulled the thin white covers over her. He sat beside her for a while, stroking her hair and staring at her face. They've been through so much in the past months and it brought them together and strengthened their bond. Years ago before Serena came to live with them, he had wondered how it would be like to have a twin;someone that would share everything with him. He couldn't have asked for a better twin sister."Xavier?",Melody touched him tentatively. He had been staring at Serena for so
