chapter 48

"I will come back..." I promised. Holding her tightly.

"I know you will..." She smiled in response before pulling away.

That's the last thing I said to you when I left...

I came back... But you were gone...

I was the one who promised to return...i thought I was the one at risk...believing That you might lose me this night...

What a fool I am... I was oblivious to the real threat... They didn't want me they wanted you...

Sera...

I'm coming...

Seraphina~

Out of breath, I'm running through the forest blood-soaked, and panicked. The howling of a wolf behind me only made me try to run faster, but it was as if I was running in place. The sounds of snarling grew closer until It rushed at me. I fell back into the water from the impact.

Everything was cold... I couldn't even breathe, as my body was pulled under the water. I struggled to grab at anything I could but the pain in my arm made it difficult to even move it. I feel as though im dying, im scared...

Opening my eyes I was suddenly on the banks of the water and beside me was a lycan body...

As if compelled to get a closer look I moved over to it. Dread seeped into me as the corpse looked less like the man it should be.

Grabbing its shoulder to turn it over I paled and nearly screamed at the sight of seeing it was Damien.

Jolting forward out of the bed I gasped, with sweat covering my body. My erratic heartbeat pounding in my ears. A dream... It was only a dream... Closing my eyes I tried to get those images out of my head, it was all so vivid... Taking some deep breaths I tried to calm myself and my heart.

Opening my eyes once more I realized this wasn't my bed, Nor was it my room... I was inside a tent, laying on a cot. The sword was leaning against the tent wall beside me as well as a lone chair. Looking at my hand I also found the curse markings were no longer there.

Moving my hand under my shirt I felt bandages wrapped around my torso... And there was an aching pain across my back.

What happend wasn't a dream...i was hunted down by thane and I killed him...i actually killed him... self-defense or not he was a person... The shock of it all started to creep in as I grabbed my head. My hands were shaking slightly.

I jumped at the sound of men working outside and I could see light coming through the cracks of the tent doorway. This wasn't the pack... I quickly tried to get out of the bed and cringed as my backside felt like it was on fire. But before I could stand the tent flap opened as someone stepped through, and a familiar voice spoke up.

"Sera?"

Looking up, I had no words, seeing gramps standing in the doorway looking at me. He looked tired...

I couldn't even muster any words. He rushed over and we hugged, being mindful of my backside. I felt tears starting to form as I hugged him back tightly.

"Thank the gods your alive...when that thing took you I..." His voice cracked and I could tell he was also on the verge of tears.

"It's okay grandpa....im okay..." I pulled back slightly to give him a smile and wipe my tears.

"When they brought you back and I saw how badly you were injured I...i didn't know what to do...god what happend to you?!"

"It's fine... I wasn't in a whole lot of danger, I found a place to stay and the people there took care of me..." I didn't wanna rush things and tell him everything at once no doubt the whole werewolf thing would shock him and now wasn't the time.
