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
Confusion crossed through Kieran’s worried expression when he noticed the mess in the room. What was more astonishing than that was Serenity packing her bag.Serenity’s silence as she continued to pack her back prompted him to ask again, “What’s the matter? Did you hear anything upsetting?”Seeing how she did not bother to spare him a glance made Kieran take a step forward and grab on to her arm, pulling her attention towards his direction. That’s when her reddened, sharp gaze fell into his eyes. Serenity was trying her best to hold back the tears.“What happened, Serenity? You are making me worried,” Kieran softly said.“You are a bastard. A lying bastard. A deceitful bastard. I don’t want to stay with you any longer. Was it fun to watch me make fool of myself? I hate you,” Serenity poured out her complaints.Kieran furrowed his brows. “Why will I do that?”&ldquo
Kieran’s gloomy eyes stared at his Beta, but Richard remained determined.“I will not let that happen,” Kieran uttered.As the air grew tense, Richard decided to change the topic. “However, since the Commander is not bothering to hide anymore and directly attacked Serenity, this shows that he is planning to take actions soon.”Kieran nodded.The werewolf council had gotten significantly strong over the years. Unlike how the werewolves acted lawlessly and ruthlessly previously, now even if they injured anyone, that needed to be reported, and a proper reason had to be provided for it. An Alpha was not allowed to indiscriminately hurt a member of his pack.Kieran’s pack was strong enough to resist the council, but this will leave a huge damage to the pack. And it will only incur more wraths from nearby packs. The pack has finally gained peace after so many years. He could not destroy it.Although Kieran was aware of the Commander’s sinister intentions, he had no proofs to back him up, an
The entire night, Serenity was unable to fall asleep out of all the pent up frustration within her. At around three in the night, Serenity believed that Kieran would be out of consciousness. Given how cautious the man was, she removed the cover from above her body and tiptoed over to the door.Just as she was about to unlock the door, she felt a presence behind her. The next instant, a hand slammed on the door, trapping her between the string body and the door. Serenity clenched her hand into a tight fist.“Where do you think you are going?” questioned the deep voice.“You very well know where I am going Alpha. I am planning to escape from here,” Serenity replied.“Go to bed, Serenity. We will discuss about this later,” the Alpha ordered.Serenity turned her head to fiercely glare at the Alpha. “Just what do you think you can achieve by locking me here, Kieran? One day, you will have to eventually release me. This can’t be anything permanent. You can’t be foolish to think that anything
By now, two days had passed since she had last seen Kieran. The Alpha decided to disappear from her world and keep her locked in this room. Mad, she blocked him on the phone along with his Beta who chose to be on his side.Staring down from the balcony at midnight, Serenity knew that it was her only route of escape now. She hated waiting for the unknown the most. Although fourth floor is quite high, she needed to put trust in her werewolf genes. That might prevent her from her death.Tying two bed sheets together tightly, Serenity hung it from the balcony. Observing the surroundings these days, she learned when the shifts changed and the security was the weakest. Knowing that she had less than two minutes on her hand, Serenity made sure that the knot was tight enough. Then, mustering up enough courage, she grabbed on to the clothing and had her legs on the other side of the balcony.Her phobia of height started to act up, and her hand trembled. Reminding herself not to look down, Sere
