The next day when Serenity went back to her office, she was glad to see that the floor was all clean. Whoever was responsible for providing cleaning services, she silently thanked them for their efficient work.Serenity walked around her office, deep in thought about what to do in the future. That's when, the door of her office was pushed open. Serenity turned her head to find Kate standing there, looking frantic. Bullets of sweat travelled down her forehead."Doctor, my son, Tom, he fainted. I don't know what happened. He is not waking up. Please help me. Please save him," Kate begged desperately, going up to grab Serenity's hand.Serenity solemnly looked at the woman and comfortingly patted her hand."I will take a look at him. Calm down," Serenity expressed.One of the pack members supported the teenage boy and placed him down on the bed. Serenity examined him with her eyes once, noticing how he looked paler than usual and he was breathing heavily.Frown etched on her forehead, no
Relief crossed through Serenity's face when she found the Beta standing at the door. She raised both of her hands."Beta, here, help me get the Alpha off of me," she asked for help.Richard walked over and lifted Kieran off of her. As his weight shifted over to the Beta, Serenity could finally breathe properly. Standing up, she stretched her arms, while Richard placed the Alpha down on the other couch. Taking in the Alpha's weak condition and high temperature, Richard looked around, and his eyes fell on the syringe on the floor. Nervousness travelled through Serenity as she followed his line of sight."Will you believe me if I call it a misunderstanding? I had no intention to hurt the Alpha."Richard raised one of his eyebrows before looking at Kieran's almost unconscious state."Well, maybe, I wanted to hurt him a little, but this is nothing life-threatening. He will be back to shape in a matter of a few hours. And once he is up, I will give him some drugs to boost him up further,"
The knocks on the door made Kieran respond, "Come in."The door pushed open slowly, and Serenity peeked her head in. A wide smile adorned her face as she voiced out, "Alpha, may I enter?"Kieran tapped the pen on the table. "I thought I had forbidden you from this floor.""Well, since you're somewhat my patient, I thought it would be only right for me to take the chance and check up on you," Serenity stated, inviting herself into the room and closing the door behind her."Just because I haven't punished you yet doesn't mean you can cross the line over and over again," Kieran enunciated.Serenity sighed."Why do your words always have to be covered in thorns, Alpha? You know, when you try to talk sweetly, it gradually leads your mood to get better as well. Why do we have to make it bitter for everyone?" Serenity expressed."The dungeon is just beneath the pack house," Kieran pointed out.Serenity gulped and sheepishly giggled. "I talked way too much again, didn't I? But are you feeling
Serenity pushed the menu towards the Alpha."What would you like to eat, Alpha?" she questioned.As his eyes trained on the menu, she added, "I would recommend the pasta. It tastes absolutely lovely."Kieran raised his line of sight to look at her and asked, "Can you keep your mouth shut?"Serenity scrunched up her nose for a second before tightly pressing her lips into a thin line. Once Kieran was done letting the waiter know his order, Serenity mentioned her regular order.As the meal was being prepared, Kieran spent the time on his phone. As for Serenity, she folded her hands on the table and stared at the Alpha in an observant manner.His hair was pulled back into a ponytail. A few strands fell on his forehead. The screen light reflected on his mesmerizing grey blue eyes. The shirt he wore hugged his figure in a flattering manner, and Serenity vaguely noticed the women stealing looks at him.Serenity shook her head.'If only they knew how lovely his personality.'"Move your eyes a
Serenity grabbed the glass in front of her and dunked it down. The burning sensation that travelled down her throat invigorated her. Serenity wasn't the one to usually indulge in alcoholic drinks, but once in a while, she craved the thrill.From the corner of her eyes, she spotted the frown sitting on the Alpha's face. The environment of the bar— the loud music, flashing lights, and bodies crowding the area— did not settle well with him. Also, regret started to form within him for complying along with Serenity."Aren't you drinking?" Serenity asked."I would rather remain sober," Kieran vocalized. Although Kieran didn't totally abstain from drinking, however, he preferred to maintain a clear state of mind. Being intoxicated did not suit his preference as it would lead to mistakes being made.And the bar was an unfamiliar environment for him with everyone around being strangers. He remained on alert, observing his surroundings in case something went wrong.Also, his trust issues forb
The sharp pain permeating through her forehead woke Serenity up. She furrowed her eyebrows as she squinted her eyes open. However, a strong force prevented her from opening mouth. Finding her entire body restricted, her eyes turned wide in alertness."Ummm!" Serenity tried to speak through the tape that was plastered across her face.Looking around frantically, she noticed that she was in the back seat of the car. Panic started to settle within her as the ideas of the worst possible situations started to emerge in her head.What is it?Could it be that she was getting kidnapped?Wasn't she with Kieran yesterday? It wasn't possible for anyone to bypass him and take her away.However, what if it is him who sold her off to human traffickers? Could he be that vicious?Horror started to spread through her being as bullets of cold sweats gather
Serenity's tone made him almost believe that she probably had a side career as an actress.His furrowed brows displayed well the discomfort that spread over him, and he pulled his hand away from her immediately, taking a step away from her."Stop that," he warned."Now, don't be mad, darling. I know I was wrong, alright? I won't ask you buy the dress for me," Serenity voiced out.Afraid of her mouth babbling anymore nonsense, Kieran grabbed her hand and stated, "Let's get out of here."As she was being pulled along, she said, "What about the dress?"Feeling a headache forming, Kieran raised his voice. "Just get it!"Serenity chuckled and handed the dress over to the saleswoman. Once the packing of the dress was done, Serenity grabbed all the bags from the countertop and stepped out from the store with her head raised high.
"Right. If you are so confident about it, who am I to stop you. Even if you die, what has that got to do with me? In fact it will make me happy. And it's not like they are my enemies. They are after you. It's not right for me to leave," Serenity said before pressing on to the accelerator of the car.As Kieran said, he distracted the werewolves away from the car. He transformed into his beastly form, dealing with other fellow werewolves.The sight of it daunted Serenity, and her survival instincts made her want to run away as fast as possible.She was only a human.It's not like she would be able to get in between those monstrous figures.The brutality made her clutch tightly onto the steering wheel. She found herself in a daze. For a second, she truly felt as though she had been living in a sheltered world.She didn't think such vicious encounters exist
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
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
