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
When Kieran found out that Serenity had escaped from the room, a storm of agitation and trepidation churned within him. His heart pounded in his chest as he hurriedly ordered the entire pack to search for any signs of her. Gathering all those who were out on patrol, he questioned them urgently, his voice edged with desperation. But every single one of them shook their heads, their faces blank with ignorance. The negative responses only deepened the dark cloud over Kieran’s mood.There was no doubt that Serenity was merely a human no matter how smart she was, and these were the trained warrior wolves of his pack. He was sure that they helped her in escaping the pack.“This is bad, Alpha,” spoke the Beta. Panic could be seen on his expression. “Serenity’s previous pack had been attacked today.”Kieran's mind raced, connecting the dots. Her disappearance and the attack on her former pack couldn’t be a coincidence. Fury and frustration boiled within him as his golde
The aching body begged her to take rest. She breathed white smoke out of her nose due to cold. She could feel the frostbites forming on her fingertips as she rubbed both of her hands together in an attempt to ignite heat. Her cheeks were flushed red. Although the dense snow was making it difficult for her to breathe, at least it covered her steps and helped her hide.As she entered more into the desolate wilderness, Serenity could feel her breathe weakening. If she was not killed by those werewolves, it would be this deathly temperature that will take away her life. Serenity found a dark corner to hide at for the time being. Bending down, Serenity went inside the dark space.She hugged herself in an attempt to store the heat. Leaning her head against the snowy wall, she knew that she could not let her eyes close. They will find her in a matter of seconds. Serenity reached into her pocket and searched for all the weapons she brought along. She had no clue on how many we
Serenity rolled her eyes.“Don’t be ridiculous. I am not that interested in the Alpha. I was just playing with him,” Serenity vocalized against her will. Thinking about how coldly the Alpha acted with her caused her to feel a piercing ache in her chest.“It is fine if you think that way, Kid. You should not have gotten involved with the pack in the first place. It is my selfishness that brought you here and put you in danger repeatedly,” expressed Richard.“Why do you say that? I came here on my accord,” Serenity stated.Richard flicked on her forehead. “You give yourself too much credit. Do you think that it would be possible for you to step foot in this pack if it was not for me intervening?”A scoff escaped from her mouth. “After all that effort, you still hid your identity from me. Was it fun?”“I was merely testing you to see how smart you are. I was waiting for you to figure out on your own, but who would have thought that you would be so disappointing?” Richard expressed.“You
From what she had learned, Serenity knew that she had been out for almost a week. During that entire time, the Alpha turned the entire pack upside down. He was determined to root out all the potential traitors and punish them. While she learned nothing substantial from the Beta and the Alpha, Emma and Lila filled her in on everything that happened during this period of time.Everyone in the pack was currently afraid of the Alpha, and even the mention of his name made the pack members tremble. It had been a while since they had experienced the brutal and merciless side of the Alpha. Apparently, only when she turned completely healthy did they believ that the Alpha’s mental state would start to ease.Hearing about all the scenarios of the Alpha’s questioning and torture, Serenity gulped, feeling that she had a great time being unconscious.She was visited by other pack members as well. All of them came with the well wishes of her recovery, probably holding hopes of how that would make t
Serenity blinked her eyes, not understanding how to process that.“You could come to see me when I am awake. Why are you sneaking around like a thief? Don’t tell me that you are doing something inappropriate to my body.” Serenity gasped.The next instant she hugged her body. Her hazel eyes held accusations in them as she stared at the Alpha, moving back to increase the space between them.“It is nothing like that. I am merely here to check up on you. I couldn’t gather time earlier,” Kieran coldly responded. The gentleness that tainted his eyes previously was not there anymore.Serenity truly was about to throw a fit again about the attitude he showed when treating her.“Is that so? I get it. You are an Alpha. There is a lot of things you are busy with all the time. Obviously, it is not that important comparatively to come visit me. I understand well.” Serenity’s tone was spiteful.
After a long time of waiting and trying, Serenity was finally able to get in comtect with her friend, Jane. The entire time her phone was out of service, and this made Serenity feel concerned.“Serenity, how are you doing? I jheard that you got really badly hurt. I am sorry. I should have warned you about it before,” Jane’s loud voice came from other side of the phone, laced with pure concern and panic.Serenity chuckled. “I still have hard time moving my shoulder, but other than that, I am fine. You should have seen how coolly I handled those werewolves. They should not be labeling me as a weak human anymore.”“It’s not you if you don’t joke about it,” Jane commented.“Is there any use of being so serious about it? Although it hurts, what matters is that I survived. What has been going on with you for so long? Are you doing fine? What about the pack? Did you all get hurt?” Serenity inquire
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

The entire time her phone was out of service, and this made Serenity feel concerned.“Serenity, how are you doing? I jheard that you got really badly hurt. I am sorry.
