"All these planets and stars make me hold my breath, but a glimpse of you always takes it away" ~ ~ ~ All Seraphina wanted was to successfully die at the hands of the world's most feared and powerful Lycan King, Ares Maximilian Dacre. However, she had not planned to be totally smitten by him at first glance and faint in the said person's arms. When she turns out to be his mate, the entire pack seems more than happy to welcome her, she becomes the owner of a strange stone, and the burden to save the world from destruction falls on her shoulders, she might have gained more than what she bargained for. Can Ares' love heal her broken heart and shattered soul and make her believe in love once again? ~ ~ ~ "It's not how I feel about you, but rather how I have never felt for anyone else. " ~ ~ ~ "I, Rowen, Alpha of the Hunter's Pack, reject Seraphina as my mate... " There was a pin drop silence in the hall as he proudly announced his rejection with a wide smile on his face. Pfft, this fool. Loud gasps filled the tensed air, as the most powerful person in this entire banquet came up behind me, wrapped his strong arms around my waist, and nestled his face in my neck. Shivers ran down my spine as I softly caressed his face. His authoritative stance and murderous eyes made everyone gulp in fear and shake in anticipation. "And I, Ares Maximilian Dacre, the Lycan King, claim Seraphina as my mate and promise to cherish and protect her, if anyone if so dares to look at her wrongly." His intense glare then fell on Rowen, who trembled pathetically. Oh how the tables turn!
The now one shimmering ball of energy surrounded both Ares and I before it split into two again.
But before it were different energies, now it was the same energy divided into two.
The balls of the energy emitted sparks and released a mystical mist that fell and dissolved on our figures as the ball circled around our feet and travelled to our heads. As it released the mist, the ball shrink in size until it remained to the size of a small marble. Then the marble lingered just a few inches away from our hearts before making its way to settle inside our chests.
I gasped at the tingling sensation of the marble entering inside my body.
Cold shivers ran down my spines as the stone settled inside my heart and all my nerves and veins became entangled with the power and energy of the stone.
"Ooh, it feels cold. Do you feel cold too?" I asked Ares curiously.
"No, because I already have an energy core."
"Energy core? Why don't I have it?"
