Seraphine’s Point of View

Talking casually with young Cassius was exhilarating.

Without the arrogant quips and sharp remarks, the conversation made me feel so alive. Hearing his slowly maturing voice, still tinged with a hint of childishness, coming from that arrogant looking face was something I never realised I had longed for until now.

I met him when he was slowly becoming a man, but I think I rather prefer meeting this younger version of him. I would love to meet every version of my Cassius, and to love each of them as well.

“Sera, your friends are waiting for you downstairs. They said you’re all walking to school together?” My mother asked from outside my room.

“Yes, mom. I’m coming!”

After checking one last time if I had all my necessary things in my satchel, I left my room and hurried down. I bid goodbye to my parents and then went off with Leilani and Maximus, who were glaring at each other and mouthing off words I couldn’t understand.

“Are you fighting?” I aske

    Seraphine’s Point of View Once we arrived at the school, Cassius and Luster offered to help us find our class. Since our registration was kind of rushed— our parents enrolled us at the last minute— we have to look at the bulletin board to find what class we belong to. “Here’s the first year’s classes,” Cassius said, pointing at the green board where papers are pinned on it. Maximus, Leilani and I started looking for our names, going for different papers to make it fast. As I know which class I belong to, I went straight for the paper where I’m sure I would see my name on it. But my eyes went wide in surprise when I did not only see my name, but also the other four I’m currently with. “Hey! We’re all in the same classes!” I exclaimed, pointing at the paper. They scrambled to look at where I pointed, and Leilani squealed in excitement as she held my arms and gently shook it. “We’re in the same class again!” “I’m in the same class as well,” Maximus glared at her, but turn

    Seraphine’s Point of View I closed my eyes, then I breathed deeply. I repeated it several times and only when I deemed myself calm enough, did I open my eyes. “Are you all done arguing about the same thing?” I asked in a bored tone, successfully gaining their attention. “Or you still haven’t finalised what to do tomorrow?” A week into the class showed us that leisure time wasn’t easy to have. We still haven’t gone to the Local Emporium that Luster had told us on the first day because we spent a lot of time in the library. It was nearly sunset when we left the school, no more time to visit the Emporium. But the next day, the teachers started shoving us loads of homework. So instead of visiting the shops, we stayed over in the library to finish our homework. It worked well because the five of us stayed productive— even amidst the endless bickering between Maximus, Cassius and Leilani. Luster occasionally joined when he wanted to convey his opinion, but most of the time, I was lef

    Cassius’ Point of ViewI woke up with a loud gasp, breathing heavily as I abruptly sat up on my bed.I reached for my throat with trembling hands, sighing in relief when I found no slit there. A shudder ran through me as the phantom pain of that deep cut lingered.I did not dream of the same girl I’ve been dreaming of for the past weeks, but I heard him scream my name when I fell limply on the ground. The heart-shattering scream made my heart hurt, as if I was hurting more for the girl than the slit on my throat.It was another bizarre dream I have, but one that made me shudder the most. I don’t know what to make of it, because I believe it’s not just a simple dream anymore.Is it some sort of prophetic dream? Does it show what will happen to my future? As far as I remember, I was taller and more muscular. I could practically feel my own strength. My voice was deep and silky—different from how it is now.Shaking my head as I knew it would be impossible to fall asleep once again, I sto

    Seraphine’s Point of ViewI let my hands trail across the stack of books piled neatly on the shelves. I briefly read out the titles, unsure which one to take. It was a heavenly feeling, returning to my younger self and experiencing this kind of happiness. Such an innocent struggle, to be troubled of which book should I first check out. If only all our problems are this shallow...“You know you can check out three books, right?”I felt my blood run cold when I heard Cassius speak behind me. My heart is pounding so loudly against my chest, and my mind spiraled out of control.I felt relieved when Maximus pulled me away from him, allowing me to finally breathe properly. The guilt and harrowing pain that struck me upon hearing his latest dream had shattered my composure—I almost broke down right there. Fortunately, Cassius interpreted it differently.But I can’t believe he dreamt of his brawl with Maximus! He dreamt of his brutal death... I had no idea why he was having dreams of his fi

    Seraphine’s Point of ViewThe boys charged forward, the splintered wood raised high in the air. Just as Cassius was about to swing it at the bloody hands, someone yelled in a panicked voice.“Wait! I am General Arthur! Do not hit my hand, children!”Almost immediately, Cassius and Luster lowered their hands and took a step back, as if they recognized the voice. But Maximus still seemed sceptical, gripping the wood tightly without swinging it at the General.Once the man climbed up the house, he dusted off his hands and turned to look at us with those dark eyes. He was carefully examining each of us, and once he deemed we were alright, he nodded his head.“Did you see anyone creeping around in this area?” He asked.When I noticed that none of my companions were willing to answer, I stepped forward to speak. “No, sir. As soon as we arrived, we were too occupied overlooking the town. And when the announcement was made, we huddled in the corner.”General Arthur arched an eyebrow, his eyes

    Seraphine’s Point of ViewI startled awake when I felt something hit my face. The sudden dizziness upon my abrupt wake made me halt from sitting up straight. Once it dissipated, I slowly opened my eyes, adjusting at the brightness of the surroundings.My brows furrowed when I saw it wasn’t my room, and then immediately remembered where I was. I looked beside me where I knew Leilani laid down and found no one. However, Cassius was still asleep on my other side.My heart stuttered upon seeing his sleeping form. A wave of nostalgia threatened to envelope me, but I quickly set it aside. It’s still so early in the morning to cry and reminisce about my memories in my first life.“The princess is finally awake!” Leilani’s voice resonated across the tree house. A ruffled leaves were on her lap. I immediately knew who threw something on my face. She was leaning near the window, while Maximus and Luster were talking silently beside her.“Good morning to you as well, Leil,” I said, voice still

    Seraphine’s Point of ViewA loud knock on the door made me jump from where I was lying on the floor, drawing random scenes on a piece of paper.“Sera?”My eyes went wide upon hearing Leilani’s voice. “Leil! Come in! The door is unlocked.”The door swung open, and Leilani’s head peeked in. We both smiled broadly as I got up to greet her.“What are you doing here? Did they lift up the lockdown?”She closed the door and skipped towards me, clinging to my arm and pulling me down on my bed. We both giggled over it.“Yeah. I decided to come here as soon as I heard it. Though my parents walked me here. They're downstairs, talking to your parents about what happened.”“I don’t even know why they had to implement a lockdown when they already captured the culprit,” I said, sitting up. “I was so bored here!”“Oh, you didn’t know?” I arched an eyebrow, prompting her to continue.“The culprit had an accomplice, as he admitted when he was finally caught sneaking toward the cave. There were three o

    Seraphine’s Point of View“I can’t understand why everyone looks so happy,” I grumbled as soon as I took my seat between Luster and Maximus.Luster whistled teasingly. “Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.”I gave him a withering look, which he just laughed off.“Everyone is just happy that the lockdown has been lifted,” Maximus said.I raised an eyebrow. “But it’s been two days since it was lifted. So why would it make them so happy this early in the morning?”“Just because your morning started miserably does not mean everyone feels the same,” Cassius said in a condescending voice.Maximus turned his head on the side to glare at Cassius. I gently patted his arms and smiled at him, then I turned to Cassius.“My day only got miserable when I heard the other girls giggling happily upon seeing you,” I said, smirking at him. “Seems like your fangirls have been missing you, Silverton. Why don’t you be so kind and send them a flying kiss? Might alleviate the pain of miss

    Seraphine’s Point of View“Do you play this kind of game?” I shook my head. “I played hide and seek and other chasing games with the kids back in our previous village, but not any ball games.”Josiah smiled charmingly at me. If I wasn’t so in love with Cassius, and if I didn’t know him from our previous life, I would probably fall for his charm.“Do you like playing tiring games?”Despite being cautious of these guys, I still tried my best to be polite and friendly with them. So to avoid being miserable the whole time I spend with them, I might as well try to enjoy it.Smiling, I nodded. “I prefer it to mind games.”Josiah laughed heartily, throwing his head back. “Who the fuck even likes mind games?”“That guy over there,” I responded at the same time someone behind me said. “Maximus, that swot.”I turned around to see who it was.Augustus Ferrell. The youngest son of the Ferrells, who were members of the Council and Circle. An old family too in this town, so they’re well known in t

    Seraphine’s Point of View“I can’t believe we’ll find out about our mates next year,” Leilani mumbled beside me as she sipped her grape juice. “We just met our wolf last year! How time flies so fast.”“It’s been just a few weeks since New Year, Leil,” I said.“Am I wrong? It’s still last year!”I shook my head, not bothering to counter her words.“I don’t want to be eighteen yet...”I turned to Leilani, eyes wide in surprise. “What? I thought you were looking forward to meeting your mate?”“That was before Luster confessed to me,” she flashed a wistful smile. “I wanted him as my mate. I’ve liked him for so long, Sera. I thought I liked Clove, but Luster’s just different.”“Are you afraid that Luster isn’t your mate?”She nodded. My heart clenched at the thought that they really weren’t mates. But... she could still reject her mate. I feel so bad thinking about it, but Leilani and Luster are my friends. I want them to be happy.“I don’t want to reject whoever my mate will be. I can’t d

    Seraphine’s Point of View“Are you an enemy... or an ally?”George blinked his eyes multiple times before he burst into laughter. “What are you talking about, Sera?” He asked after he recovered from his laughter.I raised an eyebrow as I crossed my arms on my chest. “Cut the act, George. My wolf is smart, and I know your wolf is aware of it too, that's why you didn’t attend my birthday celebration yesterday.”I just realised it right now as well. For the past few birthdays I had, George is always present. Aiah also told me that George wasn’t really sick. Wolves can smell that. So the only probable reason why he didn’t attend my celebration is because his wolf had told him about my wolf. It seemed his wolf had recognised my scent, I just didn’t know how they knew it was me.He was avoiding meeting me because he knew I’d found out about him being a time-traveler.George paled, but he quickly masked it by chuckling and shaking his head. Unfortunately for him, he’s obviously nervous. “I

    Cassius’ Point of ViewSomething changed in the air between my brother and Seraphine, but I couldn’t determine what it was. I just know something shifted the day Seraphine went to the Homestead with me, looking for George. She came to my room after talking with my brother, looking dazed and rather distracted. They became closer, for some reason. They don’t hang out as often as we do but Seraphine would visit him in his room before she visits me when she comes to the Homestead. She hasn’t done that before.It sparked the burning jealousy inside my chest. I don’t like feeling this way, but I couldn’t help it.Especially because my confession plan for Seraphine’s birthday was a massive failure.First, the banner I made was destroyed when I spilled my coffee on it the morning of her birthday. I wasn’t able to redo it again, so I decided not to do it anymore. So I focused on baking a cake for her— chocolate truffle cake. Daniel taught me how to do this when I visited their house. I didn’

    Seraphine’s Point of View ‘I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.’ I put the book I’m trying to read down on the table, groaning at my wolf’s incessant rant in our mind link. ‘Stop it, Aiah. You’re giving me a headache.’ ‘Because I hate it, Sera! He doesn’t remember you at all! That just means Azi doesn’t remember me either!’ I sighed, feeling bad for my wolf. ‘I’m sorry, Aiah.’ ‘It’s not your fault. It’s that stupid Maximus and Jax’s fault! They’re the reason why our mates don’t remember us anymore! Why we have to suffer these one-sided memories!’ ‘It will be alright in time, Aiah. There’s a lot of time for you to get closer with Azi. Don’t let the past ruin your chances of being with your mate again. Just do what I did, alright? I’ll help you, Aiah.’ My wolf seemed to calm down at that, though I could still hear her growling in displeasure and anger. At least she stopped her whining, because I couldn’t focus on what I was reading. Aiah got to meet Cassius yesterd

Twenty more minutes before I meet Aiah again.Just like in my first life, I wasn’t able to sleep properly as I waited for my birthday to come. It’s like the first time all over again. But can anyone blame me? Meeting one’s wolf is one of the most important events in our lives. The memories and feelings during that moment your wolf manifested are something no one can forget anytime soon.“Sweetie, will you sit down here and drink your tea before I tie you on the chair?”I pouted at my mother. But before I could respond, dad came to my rescue.“Let the child feel excited, Cecil. You’ve been in her place once. Surely, you’d remember the restless excitement everyone feels while waiting for their birthday.”I nodded in agreement while mom glared at the two of us. “Fine, but don’t do that in front of me. I’m getting dizzy from all your back and forth.”Saluting my mother, I he

    Seraphine’s Point of View“Welcome back!” I smiled while watching Cassius as he was greeted and welcomed warmly by our classmates. It only faded when I noticed most of the girls taking the opportunity to cling to him.My brows furrowed, lips pursing in displeasure. These opportunistic, two-faced girls! “What got you frowning so early in the morning?”I didn’t deign an answer to Luster’s question. I just slumped on my seat, closing my eyes. I could feel him and Leilani exchanging glances, and I knew for sure they were talking again using their eyes.Cassius wasn’t supposed to attend classes again until next week, but he told his parents he felt like he'd already lost so much time. And also because he’d be bored to death if he stayed alone at home for another week. I started attending classes again a week after Cassius woke up. I visited him two hours before I went to school— which means I woke early— and after class until before dinner.His mother cried when she heard the word ‘death

I only showed it to Leilani so she knew about its existence, but I didn’t want to hang out with them there. The lake is our preferable place to hang out.For me, I feel sentimental about this place because Maximus and I reconciled here years ago. We rarely come here, but when we do, it’s always memorable.“Let’s go up there,” I said, pointing at the humongous rock. Maximus nodded and he went there first, helping me as I climbed up. “Go there at the other rock,” I told him.His brows furrowed in confusion. “What? Why?”I sat down and pulled the painting materials out of the paper bag. “I’m going to paint you.”His jaw dropped, a look of utter surprise on his face as he looked at the materials I was holding. “I... I didn’t know you could paint.”I shrugged. “Because I never told you about it. I rarely do these, so you should feel hono

    Seraphine’s Point of ViewI don’t know how long I was staring at the moon from the balcony of my room. I just came here to clear my mind, but the moon above caught my attention and I couldn’t keep my eyes away from it anymore.Lady Selene... are you watching over me? Can you see what I’ve done to the timeline? I couldn’t recognise it anymore because of all the changes I brought. If you’re watching me right now, I hope you could at least give me a hint if I’m doing things right...But no, she’s not allowed to do that even if she wants to. I huffed softly. I miss Aiah. I’m so excited to meet her again. If she still remembers our first life, I hope she’s happy that Azi remained the same. Though she might get annoyed at the fact Cassius considered another name for his wolf.I can already imagine her non-stop admonishment. I used to get so annoyed at her whenever she did that before, but I just miss it so much right now.“Raph.”I turned around to face Maximus. When did he enter my room?
