Chapter 3:Discovering the truth
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Serena woke up with a start. It was daylight. She sat up in bed, looking around frantically. This wasn't her room. Where was she? She threw the covers off her legs and stood up. Just then, the door opened and a doctor walked in holding a chart. Serena remembered him from yesterday. He was the one that gave her the sad news about her parents.
"Good thing you're awake miss. I'm Dr. Lampam. You passed out from shock yesterday",the doctor said. "My condolences miss Serena". " Thank you doctor. Am I free to go now?"Serena asked quietly. The doctor checked her pulse and temperature and scribbled something in the chart he was holding. " Yes you can. Your friends are outside, they've settled the bills",Dr. Lampam said. "Thank you doctor",Serena said again and walked out. She met her friends in the sitting area in the hallway. They all rushed to meet her. Anderson drew her into a big bear hug and patted her back. "We're all here for you Rena. I'm so sorry this happened",he said. Serena sobbed quietly in his arms. "Please take heart Serena. You have to be strong"Tabitha and Samantha said while the rest of them tried to cheer her up. Someone tapped Anderson and he turned to see Jayden. He nodded, understanding what Jayden wanted. He released Serena and Jayden drew her into his arms while placing kisses on her hair. "I'm here for you babe",he said. "We're all here for you. Everything will be fine", Jayden said softly to her. Serena wrapped her hands around Jayden, needing his comfort. Soon she was able to keep the tears at bay and they all left the hospital. "You want us to come stay with you?" Natasha asked. Anderson parked the car in front of Serena's house and they all waited to hear her out. "You guys don't have to. I'll be fine",Serena said. "I just need to be alone" "You can't be alone in this state Serena",Jordan said. "I'll stay with her",Jayden said. He looked at Serena, "If that's okay with you". Serena smiled and nodded. They all came down from the car and hugged her. "We will all text you when you feel better, ok?" Tabitha said. Serena nodded again bid them farewell. Then she turned and walked into the house, with Jayden behind her. "Who paid the hospital bills?" She asked. Jayden looked sheepish as he answered her. "I did. You don't have to worry about it". "Thanks Jay" she said softly. "I have to shower.",she added and walked to her room. "If you need anything, I'm here",Jayden said as she walked away. Serena nodded and shut the door. Back in her room, she fell on her bed and buried her head under her pillows. She could feel the tears brimming in her eyes and she blinked them away. She had to be strong. Crying wouldn't bring her parents back. Suddenly she sat up. Her presents! She walked to her closet and pulled out the two decorated boxes her parents had given her the previous morning. She couldn't hold the tears this time. They pooled below her eyelids and spilled out. "I miss you so much mom and dad",she cried softly. "Why did you have to leave me all alone?" She wiped her tears and tore through the gift wrappings. Her dad had bought a new pair of sneakers for her. She smiled through her tears. There was also a small note attached to the shoes. She picked it and unfolded it to read, "my sweet serena. if you're reading this, it means you're already 18 and it's time for you to know the truth about your real parents...." Serena stopped reading and frowned. Real parents? This was so confusing. What was her dad talking about? She wiped her tears and continued reading, "i'm so sorry serena. your mom and I are not your real parents. we planned to tell you on your 16th birthday, but we felt you were still too young. Your real parents will come for you as you turn 18. i'm sorry for the lies my serena. I hope you can forgive me". Dad. Serena was dumbfounded. The people she thought were her real parents were actually her foster parents? This couldn't be happening. She unwrapped her mom's gift and saw a pretty pink dress, the one she had always admired online. She started to feel emotional again, then she remembered they were not her real parents. There was another note attached to the pink dress. She opened it and read, "Sweet serena, I know you will be upset and angry once you realize what I'm going to tell you. but it's for the best. your dad and I are not your real parents. your real parents are alive, and they will come for you once you turn 18. they will explain everything to you. I only hope you can forgive us for keeping this secret from you. we will always love you". Mom. "OMG",Serena whispered. She couldn't believe her whole life had been a lie. Why would her real parents want her only when she turned eighteen? There was something missing, Serena thought. She heard a knock and she quickly shoved the notes into the box. "Serena, you okay babe?",Jayden asked. He sounded worried. "Yea I'm okay. Just give me a minute, I'll be with you",Serena answered as calmly as she could. She heard his retreating footsteps and breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't let anyone know about this secret yet. Her head was reeling with a thousand questions. Questions that she didn't know the answers to. She would just have to wait for her so-called real parents to show up. She hid the box in her closet and entered the bathroom and took a quick shower. She brushed her teeth and changed into black shorts and a red t-shirt. She brushed her hair and tied it in a ponytail. She went to the door and called, "Jayden, you can come up now".She heard approaching footsteps and Jayden appeared. Her breath caught as she saw him. He was so handsome. He had blond hair framing his strong face, the bluest eyes, a straight nose and plump lips. Who wouldn't fall for a guy like Jayden? "You okay?" he asked as he entered her room and took her into his arms. Serena nodded and rested her head on his shoulder. Then she pulled him to her bed where they cuddled together. "I just feel so empty",Serena said. Jayden's arm tightened around her, trying to comfort her. "I understand how you feel babe",he said. "I felt this way when I lost my dad. I thought I would never be the same" "I remember. You were so lost",Serena said and looked up to stare at him. She remembered when Jayden lost his dad a few years ago. He had been so heartbroken. "Yea" Jayden said with a smile. "But I had my mom, and you guys and I was able to find myself". He caressed her hair softly as he spoke. "We're here for you Rena, and we will all help you overcome this difficult time". He looked down at her and gave her a smile. "I'm so glad I have you guys. Especially you",Serena said softly and smiled back at him. Jayden used his thumb to trace her face, her rosy cheeks, her chin, her lips, "Did I ever tell you I get captivated each time I stare into your eyes?" Serena blushed deeply hearing what he said. No one had ever told her things like that. Her heart hammered in her chest as Jayden lowered his head to kiss her. He pressed his lips softly on hers and stopped. When she didn't stop him he kissed her again, lingering on each kiss. Her lips were so soft and sweet. So inviting. As he deepened the kiss, Serena pushed him back and sat up. "I'm so sorry babe, I got carried away",Jayden apologized. "No it's okay. I'm not just in a right state of mind",Serena said. "I shouldn't have done something like that. Not when you're going through a lot",Jayden said. He looked like he was about to curse himself. Serena turned to him and held his face,"Jayden it's okay. I liked it",she said shyly. "I just....",she paused not knowing how to continue. "It's alright",Jayden said. He pulled her close to him. "Are you hungry? We could go out to eat or I could prepare something for you",he said. Serena smiled sweetly at him. "I don't feel like going out",she said. "Let's prepare something together". "Alright", Jayden said. Serena led the way to the kitchen, still wondering about the letters she found about her foster parents and her real parents.Related chapters

"Will you be okay by yourself?" Jayden asked in a worried tone. "I could stay if you want, my mom would understand". It was evening time and he didn't want to leave her side. Serena drew him close and hugged him,"I'll be fine Jay. I just need to tidy up some things. Tell Anderson and the squad that I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the beach with them". "They'll understand",Jayden said. He squeezed her softly before releasing her. "I'll text you later",he said. Serena nodded and watched him leave. She shut the door and leaned on it. It was going to be difficult; arranging her parent's room. Her foster parents room. Serena didn't understand why the people she called her parents all these years would keep a secret like that from her. If only they were here to answer her numerous questions. Tears filled her eyes again as she realized she missed them so much. She was about to go into her parents room to begin her chores when she heard the door bell ding. Thinking it was Jayden who
The Alpha's Witch Mate Chapter 5:The dreams
It was late in the evening when Logan Michaelson alighted from the limo with a deep frown. He hated using the limo in travelling. He preferred the private jet but his wife had insisted on the limo, saying she didn't want them to draw attention to themselves. He helped his wife down and they walked down the pathway to their mansion. He wasn't in a good mood. He couldn't believe his daughter chose her friends over her family. He understood she was upset because she didn't know the entire truth. "What's wrong darling? Still thinking about our daughter?",Isabel asked as they entered the large hallway. The maids came quickly and took their coats off them. "I just can't imagine why she didn't come with us. We're her family",Logan said. "She's still hurt dad",Xavier said. "I would be if I were in her place",he added. Xavier understood why his sister chose to remain. She was hurt, and she was going through a lot. "Relax dear", Isabel said to her husband. "Let's give her
The Alpha's Witch Mate Chapter 6:It begins...
Xavier's eyelids twitched violently as he tried to jerk himself awake. It was happening again. If he didn't wake up soon, he wouldn't be able to control himself when his powers got unleashed. He knew he was having the dreams again and the outcome was never good. He wasn't in control of his body and he was sweating profusely. A blinding white light suddenly shot out of his body in a terrifying wave. It shattered the windows and mirrors in his room and glass pieces flew around the room. The curtains were torn to pieces and a massive crack appeared in the walls. The white light kept glowing brighter and brighter, consuming everything in the room when Xavier suddenly jerked awake. His eyes were totally white and in the blink of an eye, the white light disappeared and his eyes returned to their normal silvery colour. It was morning already. He took in the state of his room and sighed deeply. This always happened when he had the dreams. His inability to control his powe
The Alpha's Witch Mate Chapter 7:Power unleashed
Serena got off her bed and headed to the bathroom. She didn't feel too good. The terrible dreams she has been having left her feeling scared, worried and insecure. Her eyes fell on the black card Logan Michaelson left. He was her real father and he had all the answers to her questions. But the stubborn part in her didn't give in to the urge to call him. She didn't need his help. She was fine on her own. Tears pooled in her eyes as she remembered the funeral of her late foster parents. She would miss them forever. Although they never told her the truth about her real parents, she didn't hold any grudge against them. She took a long shower, feeling the warm water soothe her skin and wash away the tiredness. She felt her muscles relaxing and she let out a deep breath. She took out the pretty pink dress her foster mom had gifted her on her birthday and put it on. It clashed strongly with her purple hair but she didn't mind. Then she brushed out her long wavy hair and scooped it into
The Alpha's Witch Mate Chapter 8:The Chosen One lives
Somewhere deep down within the mountains in a secluded part of the forest, three figures in black robes stood around a temple made of hard earth. A sign was etched into the earth and other signs were carved around it. There was a large blue crystal in the middle of the temple and it pulsed with energy. One of the hooded figures retrieved a knife from its robe and slit its palm. Great gouts of black blood poured out and sizzled as it dropped on the earth. Almost instantly, the would healed up. The three figures started chanting a strange spell and blue smoke billowed out from the crystal.The smoke swirled and images could be seen on it. There was a girl with purple hair and silver eyes, and then it changed to another scene where a massive beast prowled around aggressively. It was a lycan. The scene changed again to another where a strong purple light emanated from the purple haired girl. Her eyes were glowing brightly. She seemed to be staring at the hooded figures. Suddenly the smok
The Alpha's Witch Mate Chapter 9:The Prophecy
18 years ago...... A woman cried out in pain as she was carried into a room. She was heavily pregnant and it was obvious that she was in labour. Her face was sweaty, her hair damp and she took in harsh breathes as the cramps reduced enough for her to breath. The man who carried her laid her gently on the bed and wiped her sweaty brows with a cool cloth. He turned to the maids standing behind him. "Hurry up and get the Sisters Of The Night. It's almost time",he said and they rushed out. He looked back at the woman as she shut her eyes and bit her lips as another cramp seized her. "Just a little longer my Isabel. The Sisters Of The Night are on their way. Soon we would have our baby" he said. Isabel looked up at him and reached out to touch his face. "Logan",she whispered. Logan took her hand in his and held on. "Incase I don't make it....." "No!" Logan refused. "Don't say such things. You're going to be fine. You and our baby will be perfectly fine.
The Alpha's Witch Mate Chapter 10:Back to the astral realm
Serena sat in deep silence after Logan finished his tale. She was shocked beyond words. She didn't believe that her dad had gone through so much just to keep her safe. She looked into his eyes and knew instantly that he was telling the truth. She thought of her mom;her real mom. She couldn't imagine how the poor woman felt when she woke up and found her daughter gone. "What happened when mom woke up?"she asked softly. Logan felt light-hearted when he heard Serena address Isabel as mom. It meant things were turning out well. "She was hysterical when she woke up. She didn't eat for a week. She only wanted you back in her arms. It took me a long time to persuade her that it was the only way to protect you from the black witches"Logan answered truthfully. "She finally relented and focused on taking care of your brother. She prayed to the moon goddess each day to keep you safe. I almost lost your mother after you were taken away". Serena closed her eyes as she f
The Alpha's Witch Mate Chapter 11:Alpha Kendrick
Kendrick shifted and ran through the deep forest enjoying the feel of the wind in his silver fur. There was a full moon and the lush forest freed his mind and helped him think. There was a lot going through his mind and this made him restless. The black witches had attacked his territory last night and though they had been captured and imprisoned for questioning, his wolf felt restless. The black witches were sworn enemies to the lycanthropes since the beginning and it was only with the help of the white witches and the Sisters Of The Night that they were able to win the first war between the black witches and the other supernatural creatures. He wondered why the moon goddess had refused to kill the first black witch and instead had banished her. He didn't understand the ways of the moon goddess most times. Especially her prophecy that a chosen one will arise with the power to end the coven of the black witches. He gradually reduced his pace as he got

The Alpha's Witch Mate Side Story
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
The Alpha's Witch Mate Chapter 103:The End
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
The Alpha's Witch Mate Chapter 101: MELODY! NOW!
"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
The Alpha's Witch Mate Chapter 97:Siren's tear drop
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
The Alpha's Witch Mate Chapter 96:The Alpha's Rage
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
