Serena’s POV

“I…” My eyes widened at the sight of his eyes, and I nearly jumped in fright. But I quickly noticed something was wrong his eyes… weren't moving at all, they just stared into space.

Jeez, I thought he'd woken up for a moment there I thought, and I pressed a hand above my racing heart.

I slowly approached him, making all sorts of gestures to catch his attention but like stone, he didn’t move an inch. He remained motionless.

A lump formed in my throat as I stared at him, this was the man who I was supposed to get married to? The thought filled me with disbelief, my breaths became shaky and my body trembled with quiet sobs.

I couldn't bear to stay in the room any longer, the weight of the situation crashing down on me. I rushed out of the room, tears streaming down my face. I felt like a dagger had been stabbed in my chest, a few hours ago I'd been happily thinking about how I'd get married to Derek.

And now? Now I was to marry someone in a vegetable-like state, s

    Serena’s POV Derek's words made me stiffen in shock and chills ran down my spine. “You can’t do this, Derek,” a lump formed in my throat and I tried hard to keep my voice level. “Father would kill you, the Crimson pack would never let this go,” I added, hoping to pressure him enough to make him stop. “Rubbish!” Derek scoffed, ignoring my words.” "You belong to me now, Serena," he sneered, his eyes cold and calculating. "You're useful, but your value won't change after a brief spell of pleasure would it?” He burst into laughter. “You…” I blinked rapidly, holding back tears. "I will never belong to you, Derek. I am not a possession to be claimed,” I glared at him. “You're just a coward,” I hissed, glaring at him with as much hate as I could muster. Derek's eyes flashed with anger, I could see a tick in his jaw. "Watch your tongue, Serena,” he held my jaw with a grip so strong I winced in pain. “You either become my mistress or I'll make you wish you were dead.” My stomach twisted i

    Derek’s POV Rage filled my chest as I paced back and forth, my mind racing with thoughts on what to do next. I'd sent out spies immediately after Darius had left, to keep an eye on the situation. Within an hour they'd returned. It was all the fault of that bastard spy my eyes narrowed dangerously, he'd been my eye in the Crimson Pack and he'd assured me that their Alpha indeed was disabled. “Disabled my foot,” I raged, I kicked the chair Serena had sat in only hours ago. Boom! It bent out of shape after it crashed into the wall. I exhaled slowly, trying to keep calm. This was just a setback I reminded myself, things weren't out of control, yet. “Alpha,” a voice snapped me out of my thoughts, it was the spies I'd sent. They all stood in a neat file outside the door. “Come in,” I growled. “Tell me everything you found out,” I hissed, plopping into a seat to listen to them. “The Crimson Pack's been closed off, no one goes in or out…. He is Alpha Darius and not some twin or som

    Serena’s POV My heart beat erratically as Darius led me away, his soft but firm grip the only thing keeping me on my feet. My mind whirled with thoughts as I followed behind him, my mind still reeling from shock. “How…” I stuttered, my words clogging my throat. “How can you be walking?” My eyes narrowed as I tried to make sense of everything, Was it Darius I'd seen, lying motionless? Was I mistaken? I wondered, but even as the thought crossed my mind I shook my head. I couldn't have been mistaken. He was the one. He looked nothing like what I thought I'd seen, where he'd looked sick and weak, he looked Strong. What was going on? I wondered, my stomach tightened into knots as the layer of secrecy surrounding him felt thicker. A car was waiting, and a man I recognized as Jake, Darius's Beta and best friend was at the wheel. “You're safe,” he smiled frostily at me as we got in. “Thank…” I began but Jake jumped out of the car, disappearing into the dark. “I'll be taking you ho

    Darius (A few Weeks Ago) My eyes were narrowed as I stared at the metal that'd been wedged beneath the car. I could feel my palms become sweaty and I felt like a noose had been tightened around my neck. Who could have done this? My eyes were narrowed as thoughts filled my mind. “How did you spot this?” I glanced at Jake, his face was slick with sweat as he stared at the explosive rigged to my car. I could imagine that when the engine had become hot enough, it'd trip off and… A chill ran down my spine, whoever had done this wanted me dead. “I…” Jake looked awkward, he shook his head. “I can't say, this wasn't a rushed job.” The weight of betrayal settled heavily in my gut and I silently ran through the names and faces of people who could want me dead. It was quite a long list, as Alpha to the Crimson Pack, a lot of smiling faces hid daggers. As the shock faded, anger surged. This wasn’t just about my life; this was a strike against my family, a message that we were vulnerable.

    Serena’s POV The room was silent except for the tick of the ancient antique clock that was hung in the corner. Sleep felt like an impossible luxury and my mind just wouldn't stop swirling with thoughts. Jake had brought me back to the mansion, no one had asked any questions. A maid showed me my room and left after making sure I was settled in. But even then, the weight of Darius's revelations kept me awake. He wasn’t incapacitated as he'd led everyone to believe and I had a feeling that there was a bigger game at play. He just didn't tell me anything. My thoughts swirled in my head, memories and questions flooding into my head without an answer. I couldn’t imagine how fast things had changed, I'd been engaged to Derek only days ago, and now? I was engaged to Darius, a man I barely knew. I exhaled as I ran a hand through my hair, trying to calm myself down. There was something about Darius I thought, in my wildest imaginations I never could've thought he'd be the one to save

    Serena “I…” my tongue felt tied as I stared at him, I felt like all the air had been knocked clean out of me and I silently scolded myself for saying so much. I'd just complained to Luna's son about his mother, pouring my heart out and I didn't know. My cheeks reddened with embarrassment, he'd probably just sat there enjoying the show. “I don't know what to say,” I managed, my voice shaking. “I…” I raised my hands. “I didn't mean to disrespect the Luna like that, you see…” I trailed off, my head blank of words. “It's fine,” Alex smiled, showing off his white teeth. He didn't look the least bit offended. “I've heard worse,” he winked. “My mother isn't the easiest person to speak to,” his eyes softened as he gazed intently at me. “Who are you?” His eyes flickered with barely concealed interest as his eyes swept over me. “I…” I blushed, my breath hastening. Before I could gather my thoughts footsteps echoed from behind us. Jake appeared, his face set in a stern expression, his g

    Darius’s POV My fists clenched by my side as I watched her run away, bits and pieces of my emotion beginning to unravel. Waves of guilt ripped into me as I recalled her terrified expression. I did that. I wished I could follow behind her and tell her I hadn't meant to, but she wasn't going to listen to me. Why would she? I wondered, running a hand through my hair. I hadn't meant to scare her, but I'd kept this room off limits to everyone, seeing her in here… I sighed and my shoulders sagged. I’d spent so long burying my feelings that I was still finding it hard to accept the ones she'd stirred up in me. She was my mate? I wondered. I still couldn't find an explanation for the pull I'd felt ever since she'd stumbled into me at the party. It was the same pull that'd led me to mention it to Jake and the bastard had immediately pulled some strings, mother surprisingly hadn't been against the idea. I dialed Jake’s number as I headed towards the kitchen. “Hello,” he picked on the

    Serena’s POV The mansion was silent as I headed down the stairs, the sheer silk I was wearing shimmered over my skin. I'd been pleasantly surprised that the clothes Darius had gotten were my exact size, “How did he do that?” I wondered, still surprised. I'd woken up only an hour ago, exhaustion from the previous day taking its toll. I had no idea where Darius was at the moment, I knew better than to go check on him in his room. Especially after Yesterday. My eyes narrowed at the thought of how Darius had reacted to me being in that room, I couldn't help but wonder who that lady was. Was she his previous lover? What could have happened to make him react so strongly? The kitchen was quiet as I padded in quietly, I paused as surprise flashed through my eyes. Where were the dishes? I wondered, I'd intended on doing them this morning before Darius came down, but I didn't plan on taking a chance on his reaction. I was rummaging through the fridge to get something to eat when a voi

    The corridor was dark and dim as Derek’s men made their way down to Dylan’s holding cell. They didn't have pleased expressions however, if anything they were confused. Derek’s orders had been clear enough, they just couldn't understand why he wanted them to release Dylan who he'd kept hostage for weeks already. It made little sense. Releasing Dylan, the man they'd once called Alpha felt like a bitter soup being forced down their throat. In Derek’s study earlier, the command had been given with an authority that left no room for argument. His tone had been sharp, his gaze cold as ice.“Release him,” Derek said, his voice as cold as ice. A wave of murmurs spread through the group of men. One of the braver men had hesitated, his brows furrowed in confusion. “But—” he tried to speak up but Derek wasn't having any of it. His fist slammed onto the desk, the impact echoing through the room like a gunshot.“But what?” He snapped, his eyes narrowed dangerously. “Do you intend to question

I exhaled slowly, the tension leaving me as my tense shoulders relaxed and thoughts swirled inside my head. I'd not been as relaxed as I'd made myself look. Damn them! I snapped internally, my eyes narrowing. They hadn't cared that Alex had kidnapped Serena, hadn't cared at all. All they cared about were their interests. “Darius!” Agatha’s voice broke through the mess of thoughts in my mind. I hadn’t noticed when she'd walked out after me. I halted mid-stride, my jaw tightening as I turned to face her. “What is it, Mother?” I asked, my tone sharper than I intended. I forced a smile, “won't you join them in their discussion?” I waved my hand, gesturing back at the closed chamber. “No,” Agatha smiled a little. “They already know where I stand on this, there's no need for more formalities.” I felt a warm fuzzy feeling at her words and I smiled. “You need to be more

    DariusThe chamber felt colder than usual when I strode in, the sound of my steps echoing as my boots stepped on the freshly polished floors. My eyes were cold and icy as I glanced straight, scanning the group of people in front. Mother was seated at the far end of the room, she sat ramrod straight but I could see the weariness in her eyes. She had borne the weight of the pack for a while now but now, even she seemed rattled.The three elders were present, they sat quietly by the side but one would be unwise to ignore them. Not like I cared much for them I thought, stopping a few meters away. “Mother,” I began, bowing my head. I glanced at the elders for a moment, my eyes staying on that of Elder Mortis for a moment. He was the eldest and outspoken one, his eyes met mine with a piercing glare but he didn’t say a word. Elder Reed as always looked ready to criticize, his lips twisting into a scowl as he glanced at me. Elan, the quietest of the three, sat back with his hands clasp

He massaged his brows gently, “I'll take you to him,” he said, “But—” he held up a finger. “Only for a few minutes” he added, his expression serious. “If Darius finds out I let you see him…” He trailed off, shaking his head. “Let’s just say I’ll be lucky if I still have skin on my back.”“I understand,” I nodded quickly, my heart pounding. “Thank you,” I whispered, "I won’t take long, I promise.”Jake didn't answer and his jaw tightened, but he motioned for me to follow. “Leave,” he turned to glance at the guards who stood further off, then nodded and turned to leave without a word. He probably didn't want anyone knowing what we were going to do I thought, watching the guards leave. “Let's go,” Jake waited until they'd left before he motioned me to follow him. We walked into one of the adjourning buildings, and through some dimly lit halls in silence, the atmosph

    Serena’s POV I was deep in my thoughts when a knock at the door pierced the silence. I glanced up, surprised, as Susan stepped into the room. Her movements were slow and quiet as she drifted into the room, her gaze shifting nervously before settling on me.“Susan?” my eyes narrowed slightly. I was surprised to see her, and a moment later I frowned. There was something off about her I thought, wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me. Her usual air of superiority was gone, replaced by something I couldn’t quite place.“Serena,” she began, her tone softer than I’d ever heard it.I straightened, sitting up while adjusting a pillow behind me, despite myself I was still wary of her. “What is it?”Susan hesitated, her hands twisting together. “I came to see how you were doing,” she beamed a smile at me as she fidgeted on the spot, unsure of whether to come close or stay where she was. “See me?”My brows shot up as her words threw me off, that was the last thing I'd expect Susan to

Darius stood near the door, his arms crossed and I could feel his eyes on me, boring into me. “Th—thank you,” I stammered, my voice coming out in a whisper and I forced myself to look up at him. My chest tightened as his eyes flicked to mine, holding them for a moment too long before glancing away.He didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he shifted on his feet, looking oddly uncomfortable—almost hesitant, as if he wasn’t sure how to respond.“Are you…okay?” he asked finally, his voice gruff but softer than I expected.“I’m fine,” I said quickly, the words feeling hollow in my mouth. Darius nodded, though the tension in his posture didn’t ease. The silence stretched again, awkward and heavy, until I couldn’t take it anymore.“I mean it, Darius,” I stuttered, my voice a little firmer now. “Thank you for saving me. If it weren’t for you…”I trailed off, not finishing the statement. Alex had wanted to take me somewhere. So

    Serena’s POVThe sound of the car was the only sound that filled my ears as we drove in the dark. My heart was beating erratically, a by-product of the tense thoughts floating In my mind. Darius was at the wheel, and his hands were gripping the steering very tightly as he drove, his expression was like stone. He hadn't said a word since we'd left, his eyes occasionally meeting my gaze in the rearview mirror. Marcella sat quietly beside me in the back seat, her presence reassured me. This wasn’t fake. This wasn’t a lie, I'd been rescued. I winced slightly as I adjusted my position, my body screaming with pain. I couldn’t get the image of Alex out of my head. ‘Was he fine, had Darius injured him? What had happened?’ I sat there struggling with the thought as it plagued me. I needed to know if he was okay if he’d made it out alive, but I didn’t know how to ask. My throat felt tight, I didn't wish to test Darius’s reaction by asking, so I couldn’t bring myself to speak.“He’ll be fi

    Susan stood behind the door as she strained her ears to eavesdrop on a conversation with someone on the phone. She couldn't hear the voice on the other end, but the tone of Stephanie’s words made her feel very uneasy. Something was off. “…it’s handled, don’t worry about that,” Stephanie said quietly, pacing the room. She was dressed in a beautiful blue dress. “If you keep your side of the bargain, keep mine,” her words made Susan scrunch her face, suspicion filling her. “I’ll keep you updated,” Stephanie said. “Stick to the plan,” she ended the call. Plan? What plan? Susan’s brows furrowed and she pushed closer, trying to overhear more bits of the conversation but the conversation had ended already. Susan hesitated at the door, her face having all kinds of emotions. She took a deep breath before she pushed the door open and stepped inside. “Who's—” Stephanie exclaimed as she spun around, her words cutting off when she saw Susan and her expression hardened instantly.“Who were

Relief and shock flooded my system, the adrenaline that had been keeping me upright suddenly abandoning me. My knees buckled, and before I could hit the ground, Marcella appeared beside me, her arms steadying me.“It’s okay,” she whispered, her hands helping hold me upright. “You’re safe now.”“You lying piece of—” Darius spewed a flurry of insults but he didn’t make a move. His expression was one of unrestrained fury, his gaze locked on Alex like a predator about to strike. The tension in the room was suffocating.“Darius, please,” I managed to choke out, my voice trembling. “Don’t let this get out of hand.” The look in his eyes frightened me, I'd never seen that kind of look in his eyes. Darius didn’t even glance in my direction. His jaw was clenched tight, and his fists were curled at his sides, trembling with barely restrained rage.Before I could blink Dari
