The thick and suffocating atmosphere in the room seemed to disperse momentarily when Richard's hand landed on the Alpha's shoulder.A flicker of amusement danced in Richard's eyes as he patted Kieran's right shoulder, trying to ease the palpable strain."Now, if you keep staring at it so intently, you are going to poke a hole through it," Richard quipped. Observing Kieran's stoic demeanor, he pressed on, "I am starving just like the rest of the pack. Where is the Alpha Kieran who values time? You are not going to mull over a woman's words, are you?"Kieran's intense glare focused on Richard as he forcibly slapped away Beta's hand, pushing off the jug in his grasp. The atmosphere crackled with unspoken tension as he declared, "You are just as obnoxious as her."The smile on Richard's face deepened, and he corrected, "I would call that having a personality. Wasn't she cute?"Unfazed by his Beta's banter, Kieran withdrew into himself, tucking his hands into his pant's pockets. He walked
Janice finally remembered what she was here for.The woman assumed a stern countenance and cleared her throat before vocalizing, "Look at you wasting my time. I am here for some modifications.""Modifications?" Serenity repeated, confused. "Are you going to fix up this infirmary?"Serenity stared at the woman from top to bottom. Well, the redhead appeared to be strong although not right in the brain.That fired Janice up, and she raised her voice. "What the fuck do you mean by that?! Do I look like a mere servant here? Are you a fool or what?!"She didn't look the part for sure.Serenity gave an apologetic smile. "It was my mistake. As a human, I was taught that all jobs are the same and shouldn't be looked down upon. Werewolves have a different system going around, it seems.""Obviously, I am superior to these mere servants. I am the vice-commander of the pack. It should be an honor of a measly human like you to meet me." Janice snorted arrogantly.Serenity didn't want to deal with h
His eyes took in each of her smallest moves and changes in expression.Her breathing shortened as she raised her hand to touch her neck lightly. She pulled her lip into a thin line before resuming her original smile."Well, humans need a variety of experiences in their life to make it colorful. And you saved me. It almost made my heart flutter," Serenity commented. She thought that she was becoming a professional at pleasing her boss."You are lucky that the pack needs a doctor or else I would have been the first one to get rid of you," Kieran threatened.Serenity nodded.One thing Serenity had been really good at from a young age was observing people and knowing their emotions. Although the Alpha was good at managing his emotions, she could still make a faint idea of how his character was.Earlier, he had gotten really mad at that woman for hurting her and let her hide behind him. Even his voice that sounded so cold and rough earlier softened slightly now.He must not be completely l
After running a few tests on the boy with all the equipment present, she gave him some fever reducers, and a couple other medicines. She knew that it was important to run a blood test to get a more accurate idea of his state, but the infirmary wasn't in a proper state for her to do so."Take these for a week. And keep a close eye on his condition. Bring him to me immediately if his state worsens. The infirmary needs to be set up before conducting other tests," Serenity explained.Kate nodded."Thank you, doctor," she expressed.Serenity extended her hand to pat the boy's head and commented, "Take care of yourself. And be sure to rest well and eat well."The boy obediently nodded his head.Following that, Kate left the infirmary with her son. Seeing how it was quite late, she didn't expect to get any more patient and was about to leave when she heard the knocks on the door.She turned her head to find Richard standing there. He stepped into the room and asked, "Are you done for the day
The next couple days passed by awfully peacefully and quietly for Serenity. She had all the pack members collectively avoid her whether it was out of disdain or wary about her being a human and an outsider. No one visited the third floor, and she was left to her own devices the entire time.Although Serenity had no issue being on her own, things were being a little too boring by her standard as well. The monotonous lifestyle was getting to her bad.Serenity took her sweet time in getting dressed for the day, knowing that no one will be visiting her once again. The only reason she bothered to go to her office was because of her sense of responsibility.Most importantly, that was where her meal would be delivered.Otherwise, with how cold it is out here, she wouldn't bother to get out of the bed.The days were slowly starting to get colder. Serenity made sure to be well-insulated and put on enough layers to allow her to function well before stepping out of her room.Although the pack w
Getting into the moment with the rest of the pack, Serenity started to cheer for the werewolves she supported. Since she didn't know either of them, her reason was as shallow as how pleasing they looked in her eyes.She whistled and hollered to her content, knowing that her voice would get drowned by the loud shouts below. The rush of adrenaline travelling through her veins only hyped her up further."The Alpha and Beta will go against each other now! That's the best part!" The kid stood on his toes as his eyes remained fixated on the field."That sounds fun." Serenity grinned.She was looking forward to the Beta putting that arrogant Alpha to his place although there was hardly any chance of that happening."Beta Richard, I am on your side!" she expressed. "Go and beat him up."Creases formed between both the brows of the child while he swiftly turned his head to look at Serenity. "Do you not like the Alpha?""Why would I not like him? I like him a lot." Serenity lied without any res
A yawn left her mouth as Serenity lifted her head from the table. She stretched her arms. Resting her head on them caused ache to permeate through them. Her head felt heavy while she checked her phone to read the time.It was around two at night.Serenity turned her head to find that the window was open. The darkness outside fell into her line of sight, and there was a huge, mysterious forest on the horizon. The wind blew in, causing the curtain to dance, along with carrying the cries of various night creatures.Chill travelled down Serenity's spine, finding this to be a little creepy.Knowing that her thoughts would lead to her heart failing, she immediately got on her feet and decided to get out of this room. Thinking about how she was the only one on this floor made her even more frightened.She gulped and grabbed her phone. Taking large strides out of the room, she didn't bother to look back, feeling that there was a monster chasing after her. Anxiety crawled up against her skin,
Curiosity got the best of her once again, prompting her to voice out, "Alpha, even the Beta wasn't able to inflict half of this damage on you. For someone to hurt you to this extent, they must be really formidable, right? It's not often that I hear of someone as strong as you."Her eyes fell on how Kieran's hand clenched into a tight fist.That made her be on guard.He wasn't going to punch her, right?He continued to stare straight as he loosened his hand and casually replied, "I destroyed an entire pack by myself. It is a little disappointing that I didn't manage to get out unscathed."Serenity's hand shook while she raised her head to stare at him shock. She searched for signs of how this was a joke on his face, but those dead serious eyes confirmed the matter for her.Serenity's throat went dry."Why would you do that?" she questioned in disbelief. Although the rumors spread all around on how Kieran was a bloodthirsty, heartless monster, she thought they were merely exaggerated w
After that, they went out to watch a movie. Serenity selected a horror and thriller movie because she was in the mood for something exciting. Throughout the movie, although she was spooked out and screamed through the occasional jump scares, she enjoyed it. Beside her was Kieran, who barely showed a change of expression throughout the entire time. At times, he showed subtle confusion. Other than that, his eyes read boredom.Serenity stared at the man questioningly once they were out of the theatre and asked, “Do you not enjoy movies?”“I don’t mind watching them, but they are not exactly my cup of tea,” Kieran stated. “I would rather stick with books.”“Let’s go on a library date next time then,” Serenity expressed.Only after those words had left her mouth did the awkwardness hit her, and feeling Kieran’s gaze on her, she did not dare to look at him, afraid of facing the emotions in his eyes.Before Kieran was able to say anything, Serenity offered, “I will get myself something to dr
Serenity was choosing clothes for herself when the men’s section fell into her eyes, and the corner of her eyes curved up. The hazel eyes glistened with playfulness as they stared at the Alpha. Seeing how Serenity was staring at him from head to toe, Kieran felt the feeling of being looked at by a predator, and he shook his head at the ridiculous idea.As Kieran raised one of his eyebrows questioningly, Serenity generously replied, “Alpha, I noticed that your closet is pretty monotonous. Why don’t I buy some clothes for you as appreciation?”Kieran was quick to reject the idea. “There is no need for that.”“Come on, Alpha. Your pack pays me a hefty salary, and I saved a lot during my time in the pack. I can spend a little on you.”Before Kieran was able to turn her down again, she grabbed his hand and pulled him along.Staring at the vibrant expression on his mate’s face, Kieran sighed and decid
Kieran did not immediately start the story. The two of them reached on the peak of one of the smaller mountains. The darkness in the sky started to fade away slightly, showing the signs of emerging dusk. Both of them found a stone to sit down upon. Serenity raised her head to stare at the sky, finding a sense of tranquility in it.“When my mother was out of the pack for business, she found her mate, my father. He was a human and did not know anything about the werewolves. He was happily in a relationship with his lover. My mother learns of this and was angered. She was a very possessive and proud wolf. She then told my father about everything, and her determination was only treated by him as absurdity.He declined no matter how many times she asked, and in the end, she forcefully kidnapped to the pack. And when he was unwilling to bow his head after that, she threatened him with the life of his lover. He got married to her, and I was born. She was very controllin
After leaving her in the room, Kieran turned his back on her, about to stride off when Serenity grabbed on to his wrist, stopping him. Raising one of his brows questioningly, he looked at her.“You are behaving quite oddly, Alpha. Is there anything going through your head?” Serenity voiced out her doubt.“It is a misunderstanding. Stay in this room until I get back. No matter how curious you get, don’t roam around. Also lock the doors and windows. Do not open it for anyone other than me,” Kieran instructed.Serenity released him and folded her arms over her chest. Then, bulging her cheeks, she stated, “You do not need to tell me all of that. I am not a child.”Thorn, furrowing her brows, she asked, “We will be sharing a room?”“In the eyes of the members of this pack, we are mates, and it would be better for you to show that we are a harmonious couple.”In their eyes?S
When the car stopped at the destination, Serenity woke up from the nap. A yawn left her mouth as she opened her eyes. She followed Kieran out of the car in a daze and found herself in front of another pack. The pack’s Alpha followed by few other members came out to greet the Alpha, and the Alpha exchanged a few words with them.Serenity had her head lowered, trying to fight off the sleepiness that was bugging her when she heard herself being addressed.“Is that the Luna? She is as beautiful as I heard,” expressed a friendly voice.Raising her head, Serenity saw that a younger male was smiling widely at her. Her questioning eyes made hum introduce him. “I am the Alpha’s son, Nathan. Nice to meet you, Luna.”Serenity nodded. “A pleasure indeed.”Kieran placed his hand around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him. Startled by his action, she raised one of her eyebrows at him. His low voice then fell
Enthusiasm was shown on the warrior wolves face after Serenity’s words. They have recently observed how distant and cold Serenity and Kieran had been. This in turn caused the Alpha to treat them worse. If bringing Serenity can ease the Alpha’s mood, they were willing to do anything for it.“That is great, Luna.”“Luna, you can take the car with the Alpha. We will follow along.”“Yeah, don’t worry. We will put in our best effort to protect you, Luna.”“We will not let a scratch come on you.”Confusion read on Serenity’s face.Were these the stoic members of Kieran’s face?What was up with those bright and hopeful eyes?Did they not think bringing her along would lower the efficiency of the task?Although Serenity was curious, she knew that it would not be appropriate for her to ask them now. Therefore, she nodded her head.Her eyes then f
Serenity’s eyes widened in alarm when Richard grabbed her hand and pulled her away in another direction. Unable to keep up with the pace, her feet dragged on the ground, leaving marks on the soil. There was visible pity in the eyes of those who saw her, and those who knew how she irritated the Beta the entire while shook their head.Serenity kept on incessantly interrupting the conversations Richard had with anyone whether with her small talks or obnoxious laughter’s.When Richard finally stopped and released her, Serenity raised her eyes to glare at her brother viciously. Her cheeks puffed up. “How can you drag me like that? No matter what, I am a delicate lady.”Richard sneered. “You are a delicate lady and a strong woman at your convenience. I can’t bear to take care of someone as great as you anymore. I rather pass off this task to someone who is more suitable.”“Pass me off to someone else?” Seren
Faced with the dressed up Serenity so early in the morning, Richard wondered she was up to. The bright smile on her face gave rise to bad feelings within him. He wanted to walk away from here, ignoring her, but her presence was too obvious for him to do so.“What do you want to do?” Richard asked with a frown.“Can you not look so grim? It bores me. Obviously, I am following you out,” Serenity expressed in a mtter of fact tone.Richard turned her down immediately. “Stay inside. Don’t cause trouble by going outside. I already have a lot of tasks to do.”“Obviously, I am not going to disturb you. I will follow you quietly, very quietly. You wouldn’t know that I am even here. And as a patient, staying all the time inside is not good for my health. Only by getting the fresh air outside can I recover better,” Serenity vocalized convincingly.“I think you will recover just fine by staying
Because of her wounded shoulder, Serenity could not lift her arms well and do much tasks. Richard was responsible for preparing the meals. Serenity sat on the table, swinging her kegs as she imoatiently waited for her brother to bring the food.“Hurry up, Richard! I am going tp starve to death at this rate!” Serenity shouted.Richard shot his younger sister a look of dissatisfaction. Ever since the day she learned that she was his younger sister, it seemed that she had lost all of her reservatiom and respect towards him. It was common for her to raise her voice towards him and order him around. She often made trouble for him as if taking revenge for hiding his identity.Then, the corner of his lips curled up to a smile. Richard expressed, “The pace of my cooking depends on my mood. If I end up feeling upset, it might take you a week to receive the meal.”Not about to lose to him, Serenity arched up her eyebrow. There was a mischevi
