Writer's POV
No
"Hold on. Wait!" Isaac said to Serena nervously as she opened her mouth to read off the result.
Serena chuckled, looking up at him.
"Why? It's a DNA test. Why are you so nervous?" Serena asked.
"It's just that...I..don't.."
"Come on, I'm sure the person you are testing him or her..."
"It's her." Isaac corrected and she shrugged, looking back at the piece of paper in hand.
"Okay, her DNA must be lucky to match yours and have you as a father or sister." Serena laughed and Isaac rolled his eyes.
"It's a sister." Isaac corrected once more.
"Okay a sis. Woah, that lady must be really lucky. Let me read it out." Serena said before taking her eyes back to the result.
"It's said...here...it's positive." She announced, lifting up her eyes to Isaac once more.
"Are you okay, Isaac?" Serena inquired worriedly seeing that he was not moving.
"Were you praying against it or something? I don't understand." She asked when she didn't get a response.
"You...you don't know how happy I am right now. After a long time, I've finally met my sister." Isaac responded, staring at Serena, his eyes filled with love and relief.
"Okay then, can we go to her now? Can I meet her? Do you know where she is?"
"No, you don't need to look for her. She's right here." Isaac said, she looked around the entrance of the hospital, in search of any female who looked like Isaac.
When she found no one she stared back at him, her brows furrowed in confusion.
"Where?"
But Isaac didn't respond as his gaze never left Serena's, his eyes filled with care and love that she could almost feel it.
Then it hit her.
"Wait, what?!" Serena shrieked in realization.
She started to point at herself doubtfully
"Me?" She shrieked again.
Isaac finally smiled before pulling her into a bone crushing hug. She pulled away after some seconds, confusion clouding her features.
"I don't understand, Isaac. What type of game are you playing?" She asked, her eyes starting to well with tears.
"You love. You are my sister, the sister I've been searching for. I've been searching for you for so long." Isaac explained but she shook her head in confusion.
"But..but how is that possible? How am I your sister, Isaac?" She asked.
"Let me take you somewhere. I'll explain there," Isaac pulled her along with him back to the Jeep.
They got in and drove to an Italian restaurant nearby. And unconsciously, she registered in her mind that Isaac was the first person taking her to one.
Taking a seat close to the window, Isaac ordered a food off the menu she couldn't read.
An awkward silence filled the air as the waitress brought the food, but she couldn't touch her meal. Thousands of thoughts flew through her mind.
"Isaac, please. Please say something. This meal won't be digested if you don't explain things to me." Serena pleaded, dropping her spoon.
Isaac smiled at her before dropping his as he was about to dig in.
"I scented you to be my sister the very moment you stepped foot into the king's castle. Your scent seemed so familiar, so much like my father's.
Your scent, sister, was the only thing aiding me in your search and once I perceived it, I had to get close to you. I had to become friends with you to really confirm my suspicions." Isaac explained.
"My scent. How..how so, so you are my biological father's son?" Serena asked, blinking hard and trying to understand.
"Yes love. I am and I've been searching for you since I learnt of your existence." Isaac said, a huge smile plastered on his face.
Serena sighed and fell back on her seat.
"It's all making sense now. I have a brother from my father's side. I never really thought about other siblings aside Kate. Then what about father then, where is he? I want to meet him."
"Um..sis, I'm sorry to break the news to you but he is no more. He died a long time ago. What of your mom?"
"She is also dead," Serena replied, tears gathering up at the back of her eyes, her heart clenching in pain.
"You know all my life. I've been wondering, thinking about my biological father. Why hasn't he come to get me yet? I thought maybe he doesn't know I exist or maybe he just doesn't want me like everybody else." Serena said in a whisper, blinking and letting the tears drop.
"Hey, don't cry." Isaac hushed then reached his hand toward hers, intertwining them and Serena gasped. Something passed between them.
"I never thought he'd be dead. So automatically I'm an orphan who doesn't know both her parents. How worse can my life get?" Serena sobbed.
Isaac squeezed her hands in his, making her look up at him longingly.
"Your life is only gonna get better from now on, sis. I promise you that. I'll make sure of that. You are the last blood of our line, I'll make sure to keep you safe." He said, reaching her cheeks with his other hand and wiping off her tears.
"I'm..happy. I'm happy it's you, I'm happy that you are my brother. At least I know I have a better sibling who is a wolf like me and who will understand and fight for me." She said, leaning towards Isaac, sniffing back her tears.
Isaac smiled at her words.
"Of course. I'm also glad it's you, Serena. You know I was thinking what I was gonna do if the results came out negative. I have come to love you as a sister, I was wondering what I was gonna do without you in my life." Isaac said and under the bright light she could see tears glittering in his eyes.
She chuckled, biting her lower lip.
I'm glad I stayed. The king pays a huge sum of money to his workers weekly, aside from the money and business my mom left me. I have a lot of money personally so you don't have to worry, S. Let me do this." Isaac explained calmly.
A feeling of satisfaction settled in her and she smiled, the gush of air hitting her face as she took her head out of the window.
She felt loved, and it all started with Isaac. Her brother.
******
On reaching the castle, Isaac stopped the car, taking out all Serena's things from the truck.
"Isaac." Serena called his attention to Kendrick who just stepped out of the house probably at the sound of the car. His dark eyes glaring at them.
Isaac peeped at him before turning back to the bags.
"Ignore him for now. I'll go talk to him later." He said pulling out the bags before heading inside, Serena trailing behind him, holding the smallest bag.
After settling Serena in her room and kissing her goodnight, he came outside to still find Kendrick sitting on a pavement, smoking.
After that he came out to see Kendrick still standing alone outside and he was smoking.
Kendrick was the first person he spoke to the moment he stepped his foot into the king's castle and he has been glad to have him as a friend though Kendrick tends to be protective and jealous of anyone who gets too close to him.
"You know you aren't allowed to smoke outside here, Ken. You never listen." Isaac said, coming to stand beside his best friend.
"Why do you care?" Kendrick scoffed at him, puffing out a trail of smoke and Isaac smiled.
"You are always jealous bro. I didn't expect you to be jealous of Serena, man." Isaac said, hitting his friend across his shoulders, not hard enough to cause him pain.
"Who says I'm jealous?" Kendrick scoffed again, rolling his eyes before taking a deep breath from his cigarette.
"You are and you know it. You don't need to pretend you aren't." Isaac teased.
"If you have got something to say Isa, just go straight to the point and stop annoying me." Kendrick huffed, trying to ignore his best friend who was smiling at him.
"You should stop calling me Isa, It sounds girlish but anyways. You remember the time I told you about my half sister?" Isaac asked.
Kendrick turned to his best friend, a frown upon his face.
"Yeah?"
"I found her and she's Serena." Isaac said, exposing a row of white teeth.
"Your sister. Really man?!" Kendrick exclaimed.
"Yeah. Since she arrived here, I've been busy trying to confirm my suspicions that she was the one. I ran a DNA test and it confirmed that she is truly my sister today." Isaac beamed.
"Oh fück. I've been so stupid, I was supposed to help you in all this but I let my stupid mood and jealousy get the best of me, man. I'm so sorry and congratulations." Kendrick said, and Isaac pulled him into a hug.
