No one saw it coming, I mean it was totally out of the blue, but then again no one was in a real hurry to sort it out either. The guys were finding it a huge turn on while the girls were rejoicing at the fact that someone was finally doing what they hadn't dared to do. Now it looked like circumstances were different. What am I talking about my dear readers? Well, I'm talking about Serena straddling Mina on the floor…………………………………………………………………………………
……………… beating the shit out of her. That's right ladies and gentlemen, beating the shit out of her (so minds out of the gutters!) One second Serena had been staring blankly at Mina after her little comment and the next, BAMN, Serena's on top of Mina sending out a flurry of punches left, right and centre that'd make Ali look like an amateur. The two rolled around on the floor, each striving for dominance over the other. A clump of buttercup coloured hair floated past the stunned group as Serena continued her fury attack on Mina. Though Mina, while not giving as good as she got, was still able to land a couple of good punches herself.
It took a while for the on lookers to finally register that Serena wasn't going to stop anytime soon and Darien reluctantly grabbed Serena round the waist and hurled her off Mina's bruised body. Strangely, Serena instantly calmed down once off Mina and wriggled down Darien's body until she was on her own to feet (or 4 inch heels, but you know). She straightened out her clothing, ignoring the bloodstains and smoothed down her hair before she stepped over Mina's body and calmly proceeded towards the huge stainless steel fridge and pulled out a tub of vanilla ice cream and grabbed a huge serving spoon. The others could only watch in utter amazement as she calmly stepped back over Mina and sat in front of the TV, switched it on and began to watch a rerun of Grey's Anatomy while tunnelling her way through the ice cream.
They were knocked out of their trances when Mina's moans filtered into their ears. Turning around to look at her Amy immediately blanched before rushing over to check the full extent of her injuries. Raye exchanged glances with Lita before the two burst out laughing. As Raye made her way to join Serena on the sofa the words "That's my girl" floated back to the group, before Raye darted forward and wrapped her lips around the spoon that was destined for Serena's mouth. With a growl, Serena jerked the spoon back out and pulled the ice cream closer into her body, a childish pout on her face that only served in making Darien and the rest of the male wolves fight their lust clouded minds and not take Serena right there and then, Darien fighting the hardest because his mate was the one he was lusting over and not someone else in the room.
"Who is she?"
"That, Lita, would be Serena, Raye's best friend." When Darien didn't elaborate, Lita let out a warning growl which caused laughter to bubble up from within Darien. The others did a double take at the fact that their alpha was actually laughing. Sammy was the first to recover from the shock, "I think what Lita means is who is she in relation to you and why is she here?"
"Oh. If that's what you meant Lita, why didn't you just say so?" Another burst of laughter left Darien as Lita snarled at his comment.
"HUSH! Can't you see that we're watching something here?" With glowing looks both Raye and Serena turned back to watch the TV.
The trio sent startled looks at Raye and Serena before they burst out laughing at the sight of the two girls with their eyes fixated on the TV, the spoon poised in mid air with ice cream dripping down its sides. It wasn't until Raye let out a small scream as the cold ice cream landed in a soft 'plop' on her lap that the two girls became of the melting ice cream. A small pout formed on Serena's plump lips as she stared longingly at the last spoonful of ice cream now situated on Raye's black trousers. Tears began to form in her eyes as she watched the ice cream being hastily removed from Raye's trousers by a wet cloth and Darien felt his whole persona become sad and desolate as the first of Serena's tears fell. Especially when she turned back to the TV and realised that she'd missed the dramatic ending to Grey's Anatomy, her crystallised tears began to pick up pace.
Striding over to her, he pulled her up and onto his lap in a fluid movement as he sat down in her place and cradled her into his body, softly murmuring words to help lift her fallen spirits. After a few seconds Darien had Serena laughing joyfully, cheeks flushed prettily and eyes sparkling wondrously. The change in their alpha was truly astounding and the rest of the pack exchanged glances except for Raye, who already knew of Serena's significance to her brother's future happiness.
"You want to know who she is right?" Raye's soft tone carried to the rest of the pack without interrupting Darien and Serena's moment. Nods from all around encouraged Raye to continue, "She, as Darien said before, is Serena Rose, my best friend and Darien's mate."
All that could be heard was Mina's banshee like wails as Amy attended to her wounds. "She can't be his mate, I mean……… She's human. It's just not possible." Unknown to the group Darien and Serena had made their way over to them. "Ummmm, about that, you see……… well……… I'm not actually fully human." "Not fully human? How the hell can you not be fully human?" Raye was staring at Serena in utter disbelief. It was finally official, the girl had lost it. "Excuse me? How the hell can you be a werewolf!" Raye chocked before giving a nervous chuckle before she answered Serena.
"Werewolf? I never mentioned anything about werewolves." "Save it Raye. Darien told me, heck he more or less showed me he's a wolf. So I'm guessing it runs in the family and these guys are also werewolves. Am I right?" The smug look on Serena's face clearly showed she knew she was right.
"So what the hell are you?" "I'm actually a witch."……………… Silence is such a beautiful thing; its essence is tranquillity, elegance and damn right annoying when you've revealed something pretty important to a group of people. Especially when it's followed with bouts of laughter. All Serena could do in response was to form ice blue fire out of thin air and prepare to launch it a Mina who had recovered from her……… set back (set back? Yes, that'll do nicely for now) and had been sending Serena evils due to the fact that she (Serena) was wrapped within Darien's strong, muscular, toned, capable, warm (you get the picture) arms. Needless to say Darien quicker talked her out of the idea when he placed little butterfly kisses on the nape of her neck. Almost dropping the fire on herself was a good reason to put it back out, wouldn't you say?
9:00 pm
"You're such an arrogant jack-ass! I mean, what the hell were you thinking back there?!" His mouth opened but she didn't give him anytime to reply, "Oh wait, you weren't thinking and that's the problem. You Darien Shields are a real piece of work. Well? What do you have to say for yourself?" Again he opened his mouth but was cut off before he could speak, "Don't even talk 'coz nothing you say can justify your actions!" With that Serena stomped her way into his bedroom and would have slammed the door, if he had one, instead she settled for flinging his new alarm clock at his head, causing him to duck it and watch as it smashed into a million pieces on the floor. Shame really, it was at least 9 hours before it was usually flung into Darien's bedroom wall.
Turning back round he scratched the back of his head in confusion and said, "All I said was that 'if she had eaten less than maybe the waiters in the restaurant wouldn't have been staring at her, she was after all a petite girl and not everyone was used to her eating habits' heck even he wasn't!"
