chapter 32

~~~seraphina~~~


my body felt nearly limp and my eyelids heavy as I laid there in bed. I was so close to being asleep yet something kept bugging me...


I could feel a presence above me as I cracked opened my eyes to look and was met with Those mesmerizing golden irises. Damien was above me with his hands on either side of my head, and Slowly my mind started to register what was happening. I watched as he leaned down and his mouth latched onto the side of my neck.


I gasped at the Sensation as my entire body lit up. In an attempt to anchor myself, but my hands only came in contact with skin... Looking down, my entire face. Flushed as I found not only was he shirtless...he was completely undressed.


The feeling of his tongue traveling up the side of my neck made me tense up. He stopped for a moment before nibbling on my ear. What was happening?!


A small squeak left my lips as one of his hands cupped my cheek. He made me look up to him and I felt a tingling sensation in the pit of my stomach at the mere look he was giving me...he was like a starved wolf...


As he leaned closer my mind became foggy and I wanted nothing more than to embrace him...all of him...


His lips crashed into my own and I moaned in delight.




Jolting awake I gasped as my head throbbed in pain. Grabbing at my head I curled up on my side in pain, it felt like my head was going to split open! What's happening to me?!


A knock on the door sounded and I could hear amber on the other side calling my name. "Sera? Are you in there?"


I groaned in pain and slowly the splitting headache got worse, as I thought about the dream I was having.


"Sera me and Henry have been looking for you all morning! Are you okay?"

Something was telling me to run to get away from this place...but why?!


Getting out of bed I stumbled to go to the door and open it. I needed help... Once amber saw me she instantly became concerned. "Sera...are you okay?"


Closing my eyes I tried to let the pain pass and amber was silent as I waited for my headache to go away, as quickly as it had came, it was gone. "I'm...im okay..."


She hesitated looking at me to confirm that I would be fine, before nodding her head. I waited for a moment longer before standing up straight.


"Amber...i need a favor..." She perked up a little listening intently.


"Help me find Damien..." She bit her lip avoiding my gaze before looking at the door.


"Okay... I'll ask Henry to see if alpha Thomas will lend us some help or even information...he hasn't come back yet though...i don't know if anyone has seen him..."


I only nodded as my stomach sank did he run away? What if he got attacked?! What if he lost control again or got himself hurt?! What if I never see him... My chest ached at the thought of something bad happening to Damien but a part of me felt...relieved? I covered my mouth at the mere thought and could feel bile rising. "Don't worry im sure he isn't far we will find him! There's no way he would just leave you here..."


The headache seemed to come back as my mind waged war on itself and I fell to my knees.


"?! Sera!" Now I knew for sure...there was something very wrong with me... Amber quickly got me downstairs and out of nowhere Henry and miss Kathryn walked in seeming concerned.


"What happend you said sera was hurt?"


"I don't know, she doesn't look good!" The panic in ambers voice was real...and I couldn't believe she already cared about me with the little time we've spent together...


Kathryn came over to me and reached out to touch my forehead. On instinct, I flinched away not wanting her to touch me. She seemed surprised by the action looking me over skeptical. "Sera... What's wrong?"


"I don't know...i just keep getting these headaches and it feels like my head is going to break open at any second...but they disappear so quickly..."


"Hey it's okay I can go get you some medicine for the headache if you want..." Amber touched my arm and I swatted her hand away as if hot iron Was placed against my skin.


"Don't touch me!" At this small action against her, Henry couldn't suppress his growl, before pulling her closer to him. I looked at him in horror like he was some kind of monster...


Amber's shock from my outlash quickly went away as she squeezed his arm to make him gain control. He quickly shut up but I was still frightened.


Kathryn looked at me curiously before glancing at Henry who looked sorry for his growl and a bit concerned. She reached for me as well, and in turn, I moved away from her touch.


"You distrust us...?" I watched her and a part of me wanted to say no, to apologize for what I did, but the other part of me wanted to get away... As far away as I possibly could from these creatures...


My mouth stayed shut as a heavy presence filled the room from behind and I quickly turned to face the man responsible...Thomas.


He stopped once he noticed my startled form, backed up on the arm of the couch.


Kathryn seemed to realize something as she looked over me. "I think I know what's going on...She's having an internal fight with herself... A part of her is making her fight or flight instincts kick in... "


The hair on the back of my neck stood up as a few others started to peer into the room from the hallway. Once I noticed a familiar face in the crowd watching me I lost all sense of control... Jack only grinned intrigued as I jumped from my spot on the couch and running over to the fireplace grabbing a fire poker.

I knew fighting was hopeless in this situation but I wasn't going down without a fight.


Everyone seemed a bit surprised and Kathryn stepped closer with her hands up. "Sera I know this isn't you, your confused..."


She was right I was confused. These people were my friends...none of them would intentionally hurt me so why was I acting this way? It felt like something was hanging over me...just like the other night... When I yelled at Damien...


I dropped the iron rod and grabbed my head. I hated myself for hurting him, I never wanted to say those words I had avoided thinking about all the things we went through. While we were in the cabin but then suddenly everything turned bad...like my mind was being poisoned... The headache came back tenfold as I started to hyperventilate. I could hear voices...and that more than anything scared me...


My eyes moved to the front door and before anyone could grab me, I ran outside and went straight into the forest. Voices called out for me but I didnt care... I didn't want to hurt anyone...not again...


I ran as fast as I could trying to use fallen trees or low branches to escape the wolves who were now tailing me. I could see them running at my side just a few mere feet away. One of them jumped in front of me cutting off my path with a growl. I slid to a stop and looked over the white/brown wolf. Another darker brown wolf jumped in and gave the other a warning growl before looking at me and lowering its head with a whine.


Turning to run in another direction I was cut off by three more of the creatures and I could sense more behind me. They had me surrounded. I spun around in a panic seeing no way for me to escape. Grabbing my head the voice got louder and I couldn't help but scream. "Go away!"


"Sera!" Looking up I could see a distressed amber and Kathryn standing off to the side. Amber moved closer but everyone stopped and the wolves to my left looked behind them before quickly jumping out of the way as a monster of a wolf jumped out in front of me.


It growled at everyone in warning, and the massive beast was much larger than any of the wolves around us. All the others quickly backed off and Kathryn had to pull amber back.


As it looked at me its familiar golden eyes bore into my very soul. But for once... I didnt want to back away in fear or disgust, I just wanted to hug him... I cried before quickly wrapping my arms around his neck and crying into his fur.


His head nuzzled me keeping me as close as possible, and all at once the negative feeling, and the voices suddenly disappeared. And it felt like something snapped, freeing my mind from whatever took over me. "Damien...im so sorry..."

All the negative feelings and thoughts that had been tormenting me for the past few days were gone... All I could feel was how guilty I felt for hurting Damien and how much I missed and worried about him. "I never meant anything I said! I don't know what came over me!" Tears streamed down my face and a small whine escaped him.

My hands fisted into his fur as if I could lose him again at any moment...was this the mate bond? Was this how it felt for them to find their mate? To have a mate?... After a few moments, I pulled away to look at his face. He paused for a moment to look at me before facing everyone else and giving them a warning growl.

"Sera..." 

Amber seemed worried and so did the dark brown wolf who no doubt was Henry. While they stood by miss Kathryn and Thomas who brought the wolves to try and stop me, All the others around us started backing away and going back to the village...

"Perhaps we should all go back inside..." Thomas gestured towards the packhouse...Damien then started nudging me towards his back before laying down. I hesitantly climbed onto his back and held on and he stood up and walked past them, giving everyone a low growl. He walked back towards the village and everyone walked back with us. Me riding on top of him seemed to surprised everyone...i felt my face flush at how awkward it must have seemed.I held onto Damien tightly as the adrenalin in my veins wore off and we continued forward silently. I felt in control of myself now... I felt at peace."I never thought lycans were this big..." Amber looked at Damien in shock and I looked down at him as he continued forward.

"I didnt even know they existed up until a few weeks ago...actually I didnt know anything about any of this up until now..."

"Sera...are you sure your okay? You were freaking out until a few minutes ago...""I have an idea as to why..." Miss Kathryn spoke and even Damien seemed interested as his ear twitched and he stopped to look at her.

"Seraphina...you have a hunter's blood in your veins...for generations, our kind has conflicted with each of the hunter clans...im sure over the years they have even tampered with dark magic...and it has been passed on through each generation giving you heightened senses and more...considering you have a lycan mate... I wouldn't be surprised if your body and mind are struggling against your mate bond..."

"Is that even possible?!" Amber looked at her surprised while only concern plagued me."You think my bloodline is causing all these negative effects because of my bond with Damien?..." In turn, he growled at nothing in particular.

Kathryn was silent for a moment before closing her eyes. "I'm not sure this is just a theory...but I could also sense some kind of magic swirling around you...now it's gone but... it's been there for a while... It's also possible that being close to him helps ward off any of those feelings you were experiencing before..."

"Magic? Like...actual magic?" Was that really even possible? Although...why wouldn't it be...werewolves are real...why wouldn't magic be real?"Yes...but if my theory is true about your bloodline conflicting with your bond...it can mean only one thing..."

I stared at her confused as she looked at me firmly. "You will need to mate with Damien soon..."
