Serenity was about to get down from the bed when Kieran grabbed on to her waist and pulled her into his arms. She broke out into laughter. He solemnly stated, “Are you taking my words as a joke?”“Or else? I admit that I am shallow and got attracted by your looks first. Do you think I would have pursued you if it weren’t for your character? Alpha, your gentleness touched me. Although on the surface you were being a jerk, behind the scenes you were a good man,” Serenity said.Kieran shifted his gaze away. “You are thinking too much.”Serenity nodded. “Okay, maybe I am crediting a little too much to your character. I chose you because you are my type visually, alright? So sexy and handsome, you are a woman’s fantasy.”Serenity watched as Kieran’s eyes widened and once again, she had the feeling of molesting an innocent young man.Then, Kieran reached out to grab her hand and voiced out, “Serenity, I am far from being a capable man who is worthy of you but-“Before the man was able to co
“Welcome in, Beta,” Serenity greeted with a bright smile on her face as she waved her hand at Richard.Richard stared at his younger sister who was laying down on the couch in Alpha’s office comfortably with a complex expression. There were snacks all over the table and the floor while her laptop, resting on the table, played a movie. Serenity did not bother turning down the volume out of consideration for the working Alpha. As for Kieran, he indulged this beahviour.“You sure made yourself feel at home,” Richard commented.Serenity responded, “The Alpha said that I am free to visit his office whenever I like, and I thought he would be missing me a little too much, so here I am.”Richard’s eyes fell on Kieran questioningly, wondering what happened to the stern man who abided by the rules.Kieran responded, “As long as she doesn’t get in trouble.”Richard then stared at the ban
Staring at the undesirable vegetables on her plate, Serenity picked them one by one with the fork and placed them on Kieran’s plate. The Alpha, by now, formed the habit of eating everything Serenity put on his plate, treating this as something normal. Being exposed so much unusual scenes these days, the pack members started to become numb as well.Then, her eyes lingered on the pudding beside Kieran’s plate greedily, and she stated, “Alpha, if you are not eating that pudding, can I have it?”Before Kieran could reply, she snatched the pudding and dug into it. Kieran stared at her helplessly and said, “You can ask the kitchen staff for more if you want to, but you shouldn’t indulge too much into it.”Serenity smiled. “Is that so? I thought food other than meal times wasn’t available in the pack? Isn’t it wrong for you to bend the rules due to me?”Richard didn’t know how the Alpha tole
Serenity hugged the pillow in her hand. Her eyes glared at the door, filled with grievances. Because the man invited her to sleep with him, she took extra steps to pretty herself up, but in the end, he betrayed her hopes by deciding to work late in his office. All her previous nervousness turned to anger.She decided to give herself five more minutes before she barged into her mate’s office to create a scene.As if her thoughts were conveyed to him telepathically, the door to the room opened, and Kieran walked in. Serenity scoffed. “Oh, you are here. I thought you were planning to spend the night tonight in your office.”The Alpha arched one of his eyebrows. “You were waiting?”“Don’t be ridiculous. I sleep very lightly. I am simply afraid of you ruining my sleep. Once my sleep is interrupted, it is hard for me to fall back to sleep again.” Serenity made up a convincing excuse.Kieran solemnly respond
Serenity stayed in the kitchen for a while, and with the help of the cooks there, she made a few snacks Ashley might enjoy during her pregnancy. After everyone got to learn about Ashley’s condition, they were all equally happy and willing to contribute. Once Serenity was done packaging the snacks, she planned to go over at Ashley’s house and check up on her on the way.She hummed a soft tone as she made her way over to the house when she came to face with a disturbing sight.Ashley’s mate grabbed her by her hair as he pulled her out of the door. While tears ran down the poor woman’s face, rage was written all over the man’s expression. He threw her violently on the floor.“You, whore! Get out of my house! I don’t know whose child you are pregnant with! You expect me to be the father of your bastard! You dirty bitch! Get lost with your dirty child before I kill you off.”Ashley begged. “No, dear, what are you talking about? This is our child. I didn’t chea
It could be seen that the Alpha’s words incurred dissatisfaction from many of the pack members. Although werewolves were murderous creatures, they were protective of their pack members. Even though Serenity was the Alpha’s mate, their bias against humans existed, and they couldn’t accept her meddlesome behavior.Voices of objections were raised.“Pardon me, Alpha. I believe that the Luna is at fault for interfering.”“Yes, family matters should be left to be dealt with themselves. She suggested the breakdown of something as holy as the mate bond. This is clearly blasphemy. It makes sense he would get a little aggressive.”“And Ashley’s behavior has always been strange. It is fine for her mate to be doubtful. The Luna doesn’t understand because she is a human, but the werewolves are naturally possessive of their mate.”If Kieran was not here, Serenity would have folded her sleeves and
“There was nothing wrong in what I said. Since the entire pack is resistant to this idea, it would be better for them to learn that there is an alternative route. Those like Ashley can step out to seek for help as well. If we keep on doing it in private, barely a difference will be made. And it is not as though this matter is something to be ashamed of. The abuser is the one who should be humiliated.” Serenity held her ground with resolution.“I can’t actually guess whether you are ridiculously dumb or actually smart,” Kieran uttered in frustration. “Usually, you can come out with sly plans, but when you need to act with caution, it seems that skull of yours is empty.”This fucking bastard.Serenity took in a deep breath. “I understand what you mean, but I am not wrong either. You see, I can’t stand the bastards who abuse the weak, and I think for something like this I need to make a strong point. And I wasn&
Kieran had been busy these couple days. Serenity also knew that she had to sit in her infirmary as well after taking break from her work for all these days. These dyas, she noticed the strange eyes she received, but that did not bother her. Those who were close to her weerre willing to talk to her although few of them did not agree with her point of view.According to Kieran, Ashley’s mate will be punished to match his crime, and although Serenity was curious as to what the consequences would be, one look from Kieran was enough for her to get that she was better off not knowing. Even though she had been exposed to Kieran taking lives in front of her eyes, she was still too delicate to bear the brutality of the werewolf society here.From what she had heard from her mate and everyone around, many expressed their dissatisfactions. Because of that, Kieran had issues to deal with.The infirmary was relatively calm today. Leaning against her chair, as the fresh breez
Serenity was inherently a lazy person to begin with. Because she was afraid of missing Kieran and being worried about everyone, she kept herself occupied with work for so long. Now that everything had come to a peace, the long hours of working as a doctor was a little too taxing for her soul.Serenity leaned against the couch and groaned. “Should I just quiet and go back with you to your pack? Anyways, you can afford to raise me,” Serenity suggested.Kieran, who was working on his laptop, did not look up and responded, “Were you not determined to stay here and develop your career like an independent woman? I support you. Don’t worry.”Serenity furrowed her brows. “I change my mind. Am I not allowed to do that? Working like these every day for long hours, I don’t even feel like living anymore. This is killing all my passion.”Amusement crossed through Kieran’s eyes as he turned his head to look at her after her dramatic words. “Is it that bad?”Serenity nodded her head.“I get you, Ser
Almost two weeks had passed since Kieran came here. Throughout this entire time, Serenity and Kieran had small fights with Serenity starting those most of the time and Kieran simply tolerating her temper. Other than that, they have been peaceful.Since Kieran was here now, fine and healthy, and everything was alright between them, Jane thought that she shouldn’t be overstaying her welcome. As she would only be getting in between the couple, she decided to return.Serenity felt guilty at that since her friend had come here for her sake, and she was not able to do anything. Jane only laughed at her emotions, calling her a fool and telling her that the best thing would be for her and Kieran to peacefully settle. The two of them had gone through a lot of things.That was what Serenity hoped for as well.As Serenity finished taking her shower at night, she smiled at Kieran who was busy in the kitchen. Never did she think that she would be able to domesticate such a mighty Alpha. A recent h
There was confusion in the Alpha’s eyes as he stared at his mate.“Serenity that… isn’t it too abrupt?”Serenity stared at him startled and scoffed. “What are you feeling shy for? You had no issue roaming topless in front of the entire pack before.”“Well, you are right.”As she watched him slowly take off his shirt, it felt as though she was harassing him, and spoke out, “Alpha, I only want to check up on your injuries. I heard from my brother that you are gravely hurt. That is it.”Hearing that, Kieran was about to put his shirt back. He said, “There is no need for you to do that? I am almost fine.”However, not giving him the chance to do that, she pulled away his shirt. Seeing how his upper body was covered with thick bandages, she could only imagine how bad his wounds might have been. There was a thick scar that ran across his shoulder that was yet to heal. Knowing how as the Alpha he had great healing powers, for these to take so much time, she could picture the life and death s
Serenity frowned when she noticed tha she received a call from an unknown number after midnight, but remembering how she told Kieran to have her brother call her, she received the call.“Serenity, you are still awake,” Richard softly said. His voice held a bit of guilt and fear in them.Serenity sneered. “Look who is alive. I hought you were dead by now given the silence from you.”“It is not that I have not been wanting to call you. It is just that I have been so busy every day that I keep putting it off. Look, now that the Alpha is no longer in the pack, all the responsibilities of the pack have fallen on my shoulder. I know you are my sensible little sister and understand my position, right?” Richard tried to get her to calm down.This only infuriated Serenity further. “Oh? Is that so? If you are crammed with so much important tasks, why did you have to call me now? Let me hang up. After all, I do not fall in those important categories, and therefore, I have no right to waste your
The lack of sleep caught up to Serenity, and she found herself dozing off during the work entire time today. Not even cups of bitter coffee could keep her awake and drive her headache away.When the day was over, Amelia, the nurse who proposed she went on a date yesterday with her nephew, caught up to Serenity and garbbed her arm. Although Serenity wanted nothing more than to go home and rest on her bed, she smiled and carrued on the conversation with Amelia.“By the way, are you hungry? Why don’t we go and grab a meal together?”Serenity replied, “I had little something to eat earlier. I am not hungry yet.”“I am sure you will feel hungry on the way there.”Serenity was about to turn her down when her eyes fell on Kieran who walked over to her. It seemed that he came to pick her up. He didn’t know when her shift today ends. Could it be that he was waiting for her the entire time?What a fool!He could have just asked her for the time.“And also my cousin will be there. You wouldn’t m
But Serenity was doomed to have a sleepless night. No matter how hard she tried, her thoughts were filled with Kieran, how he was standing outside, and what will happen in the future. Before she knew it, it was already time floor her to get to work. Instead of taking a day off, she decided to get to work, believing that would at least keep her thoughts occupied or else laying down on her bed, she will be consistently pestered by Kieran mentally.Last night, she resisted the urge to get to the balcony to check whether or not the man was standing outside multiple times, and after an arduous fights with her inner self, she managed to prevent herself from taking a glance.Looking at her state in front of the mirror, Serenity knew that she looked extra bad. One would think she went through a night of horror.Staring at the foundation in her hand, she commented, “This is what makeup is for.”There was no way she was letting anyone know how restless she was last night.After Serenity was don
Staring at the familiar an in front of her, Serenity felt baffled. Jane noticed the tension between both of them and decided to give them space by getting up to Serenity’s apartment.Serenity quickly brought her emotions in control and put on a mask of nonchalance to match the Alpha’s. She took a second to observe his features. He cleaned up his wild hair considerably, taking a neat appearance, but instead of that making him seem gentler, he somehow appeared to be equally oppressive.“What are you doing here, Alpha? What a surprise!” Serenity expressed. Sarcasm evident in her voice.“I am here for you, Serenity. Are you going to accept me?” Kieran stated. Instead of it being a pleading request, there was a domineering pressure behind his words.The corner of Serenity’s eyes curved up, and there was a twinkle in those hazel eyes. “I am afraid you are a little late. I already went on a date with someone today, and we hit it off rely well. I don’t think it would be right of me to accept
After being done with the day’s work, Serenity removed her doctor’s coat and packed her bag. Just as she was about to step out of her office, her phone suddenly rang up. She reached for her phone to find out that it was her best friend ‘Jane’ calling and a soft smile formed on her face.She received the call.“Where are you, Serenity? I have been looking for you at the airport for so long, and I can’t see any signs of you. Where are you?” Jane stated, her voice filled with dissatisfaction.Serenity looked at her watch and frowned. “You are already here? I thought that there was still an hour left.”“Serenity, are you kidding me!? Don’t tell me you forgot the time? What a friend you are!” There was obvious sarcasm in her voice.“I am sorry. There was too much things on my schedule today, and I forgot. Come on, forgive me. I will take you on a shopping spree, and all the money will be on me. I will be there in an half an hour. I promise. I will drive fast.” Serenity rushed out of her of
Serenity waved her hand at the little girl who walked out of her office with a bright grin, guided by her mother. Once the door was closed, Serenity stretched her arms out of exhaustion before extending her hand and taking a sip out of the coffee cup in front of her. The hot cappuccino inside it had become long cold.Serenity’s eyes then fell on the calendar in front of her, and a frown fell on her features as she leaned closer to the calendar. She took out a pen and circled today’s date.“It’s already one moth.” A sigh left her mouth. After that, she raised her voice, feeling the anger rise within her veins. “I knew that I should not have trusted that bastard! ‘Wait for me for a month’. Well, I have waited. Where are you now? What am I? Some kind of pushover? I am not going to wait for you anymore, you mean bastard!”It has been a month since she had received any kinds of news from the pack. She asked everyone around her for a piece of reliable update, but the information was all sca
