Serenity's POVSilence ate at the room as I entered quietly, and the look on Alpha Gavin's face told me I had taken him by surprise. I should have paid more attention to who was in the room as I focused on going straight to Alpha Gavin."Serenity." He called my name as I approached him with my eyes fixed on only him.When I stopped in front of him, I wrapped my hands around the crape of his neck and said to him, "I feel much better, my sweet. So I came to let you know we will be eating dinner together.""I'm glad you are better." He lifted me to sit around his waist, and I let out a giggle - kissing him playfully on the lips and around it.If I was to keep Brady safe, I neede
Serenity's POVThe journey to the "surprise" place I anticipated was taking longer than expected. We had moved past a few towns. Though exciting, I was impatient as I pleaded for him to disclose wherever he took me.Despite my persistence, Alpha Gavin wouldn't bulge. An annoying smile remained placated on his face. "Just a little time, and we will be there."I felt excited as it should be—at least for someone who has never been out on a date because Brady never let me. He thought it was a waste of time, especially since neither of those guys would be my mate. I had to wonder if he knew all along that we were fated.Finally, the turn signal to the car lit up, and I looked to my left to see a shopping complex. I knew it couldn't be we were going shopping. Alpha Gavin drove within the parking lot, looking for a suitable parking space, and stopped the car in a comfy spot. I looked up to see we were in front of a fancy restaurant called Delta's Lighthouse.Deltas usually ran the welfare of
Serenity's POVOur meals came just in time—a welcome distraction. We both delved into the best Mexican dish I have ever had. I closed my eyes to relish its bite and delectable scent. I moaned unconsciously as I danced in my seat, enjoying the meal."You like it, huh?"Opening my eyes, slightly embarrassed at the sound, I say: "This food is the best thing that has happened to me today.""That’s the effect this place has on people. I love this place. My parents frequented here when I was a pup and now it’s become my favourite restaurant. I’m glad to share this moment with my favourite person in my favourite place. I will always bring you here whenever you care for." He tells me with a broad smile, and I'm glad his mood has been lifted. It must be because of the food."I don’t mind making this place our date night from now on." I take another huge bite of my meal."I see you look forward to us going out more often. That's a good sign." He said in good faith.Brady wasn't mentioned for th
Gavin's POVI had a fantastic time with Serenity on our date night. Everything panned out the way I planned. I had fallen for her more in one night than all these months.She trusted me to keep her safe. I know it was just skating, but that says a lot.I could tell she was fighting her emotions for me tonight, but it was too late; I had brought out that part of her.I hoped she was amateurish on the skateboard and didn't fail my expectations. I seized that opportunity to hold her hand the rest of the date. And she held my hand tightly the whole time, even when she got the ropes around skating as the seconds rolled by.I wished the night wouldn't end as we returned to Yellow Gem. But we could have some alone time at the packhouse, except I may be distracted with finding Bentley. If for anything, at least to ease Sereity's troubled state.Hopefully, she didn't have to think about Bentley and where he might be tonight. And I prayed it remained that way until I brought him home.Another i
Chapter 98Serenity's POVI rolled in bed anxiously, hoping Bentley would talk to me. Many questions ran through my mind. I was worried for Brady's safety. Finally, there was a knock on my door, and I quickly opened it. I couldn't wait for Gavin to come in so he could give me all the juicy details. If anything were to happen to Brady, his parents would feel it the most. He was the only child of his parents—the legitimate heir to the pack of Black Gem.I opened the door to see Bentley. I was beyond happy. I jumped into his arms. All the emotions I had suppressed earlier gave way to tears."I was so worried about you." I nudged my head against his chest. I had never been this close to my brother. "I'm glad you're home safe."He held me close to himself and pecked my forehead."Sis, leave me to do the worrying. I can handle myself." But we both know that statement to be false. Nothing was certain.Once the door was closed, I feigned asking about Brady and what would be the outcome."Ser
Brady's POVBentley must have done what was needed as Yellow Gem trackers left my vicinity. The rogues tailing me stopped, with the word of Alpha Gavin to Lucho that his Gamma had severely dealt with me.My father's plans were going on fine. I just needed to eliminate that Lucho bastard and his men so they wouldn't ever threaten what could be with Serenity.I am okay with it if she is set to marry another. I'd go to her and right my wrong because she belongs to me.My father thought likewise because Serenity was already like a daughter to him, and he had missed her ever since she left. Now that the rogues had lowered their guard, my father and I thought it wise to attack. We waited for the right moment to strike. An ambush was the best way to deal with those lunatic rogues.They were shameless enough to have attacked my pack and me years ago, destroying innocent lives and ruining families.All for nothing but hidden ambition and hideous convictions.I'm sure they were still pursuing
Brady's POV"I'm not interested!" I barked at him. But suddenly, I regretted it.Lucho got up from his seat and held my chin forcefully to look up at him."Of course you shall hear it whether you like it or not. Which will lead me to my second request!" He barked even louder."Are you aware your father, whom you love so much, killed an innocent woman because she was a special breed?""What do you mean?""That innocent woman was my mother. She was born with purple eyes and yellow hair. Despite several critics of how she looked, she was a strong woman. Many hurled insults at her, calling her a fr
Brady's P.O.V."Take it off. Let me see your delicious size." A blonde petite lady was staring at me lustfully."Huh?" I was yet to recover from Lucho's last statement.Was this what he meant when he said I should be taken to the feral beta blonde?The lady before me looked like she couldn't get enough, like she was high on something.She was sipping some merlot and sensually licking her lips."Strip naked, handsome." She kept throwing instructions at me."Hey, look here. I'm being held captive against my will. I have a wife at home. You are mistaken. I'm not here for that." I told her."I'm Lucho's experiment. And you are about to be mine." She squeezed her breasts, making some cleavage pour out.I blinked. "Look. I don't understand what you mean by experiment. What's your name, by the way?" I asked her, a bit curious."I just told you. I'm Lucho's experiment." She sipped more merlot."So you ain't got no name." I began to get frustrated."Where do I start from? Uhn okay. I'm Tamia.
Serenity’s P.O.V.Who would have thought that our last-minute enemy victim would be Bentley - my sweet and loving brother who could not hurt a fly except for justice?What Lucho's bastardity had caused him! What his craziness had cursed us!By now, he was walking towards me, glinting in his eye like he wouldn't hurt me.But soon, his eye colour changed to a deeper orange, and he lifted me above his shoulders - wanting to strike me against the floor."No!" Alpha Cruz aimed for his leg, which caused him to lose balance.I fell with a terrible pain to my ache.With no time to waste, Alpha Cruz landed on me.Bentley picked him up instead, and just when he was about to throw him against the wall, someone shot a poisoned dart at Bentley's carotid sheath on his neck. That meant instantaneous death.I quickly got up, recovering from the shock so Bentley wouldn't fall atop me.Just like that, the bottle-weary war had ended with a poisoned dart.But who had shot it?It never even occurred to m
Serenity's P.O.V.To my shock, Alpha Gavin and his parents had come - alongside Penn and Claudia.“Lucho bastard, you die today!” Alpha Atticus roared at him in his command Alpha tone.Lucho grinned. "I see the whole crew came." "We have heard enough of your tyranny. Enough is enough!" Luna Bella bellowed."Serenity, I'm sorry for ruining your wedding - which gave this bastard the guts to kidnap you…""This is not the time for an apology, Penn!" Claudia whispered, but I could hear her coughing. Claudia then continued, "This is just the right time to finish off this bastard scientist and his psychopath," she said, pointing at Vino.Like the psychopaths they were, Lucho and Vino roared in laughter, tears spilling from the corner of their eyes."But if this is of any comfort, Penn rejected Alpha Gavin." Claudia chipped.At this moment, I couldn't be angry with Penn and Gavin.I was more than glad they had come to the rescue. A greater comfort would be to revive my brother…Even at that,
Serenity's P.O.V.Lucho was still trying to put his words together when a soft knock could be heard on the door.Expecting it to be one of his men, Lucho flung back on his shirt and beckoned on his standing guard to open the door.I had just noticed a third party in that room.He had stood like a silent shadow at the far end of the library corridor - right in Lucho's room.Maybe if I had seen him earlier, I'd have known he wouldn't try making love to me in the presence of his men.Once the door opened, we both were surprised to see who was at the door."Who had let you in without my consent?" Lucho's voice became cold, and his stern gaze could almost command submission from any Alpha except Vino.Alpha Vino - a vile snake.Neither here nor there.He moved like the wind.One couldn't decipher whose side he was on.Rumour had it that he was the only Alpha that made Lucho on edge."I'm here to present you a gift." Alpha Vino said."And what could that be?" He asked, still maintaining a fr
Serenity's POVI woke up in a cosy bed full of sunlight.Immediately, I jerked up from sleep when I saw Lucho lying by my side. "What are you doing here?" I asked him, suddenly noticing I had a new change of clothes."I should be asking you." He retorted. "You sure sleep like a baby." He rather commented."Where is my brother?" "Relax. He is with my cousin right now." He replied, and I eased, but not completely."And what would your cousin do to him?" I became afraid. "Hope you're not going to hurt him." Rather than answer, he got up from the bed and walked over to me. "That depends on your behaviour tonight." He leaned close to my ears, and I tried to move, but he gripped my arms in a loving embrace. "And not just tonight. Always."I gulped while he studied my countenance. "Relax. I've not had a woman in this room for donkey years. Ever since your brother killed my beloved. You look so much like her. And now, I've taken an interest in you. For that, I won’t hurt you. But you mustn
Serenity's POVI had only heard that Lucho was a mad scientist, but I didn't know the extent to which his experiments had gone until I saw something that looked like a giant bird. It mimicked an aeroplane, but it wasn't one.I was too stunned to speak.I was hoping he'd at least shove me inside. Only to see his hands stretched gently to take mine."Come in. I promise I won't hurt you." His voice contrasted with the negative things I'd heard about him. At this moment, he didn't seem evil."I don't want to go with you." I put up a defiant tone. Not so defiant, though.I tried as much as possible to hide my shaky tone."That is not your choice to make. You must come with me if you want the people you love alive." His tone remained gentle, but a rising firmness rose beneath it.I had better not provoke him."What would you do with me? What do you want? Why are you attacking us?" I had a lot of questions for him.I didn't think he'd answer them, but then, I was desperate."Alpha Gavin bro
Serenity's P.O.V.How could he show up when his life was forfeit?What if Alpha Gavin saw him?Why did he have to stir up trouble again?I'm wedding today. He should be far from me if he wants my happiness indeed. Is he here to wreck my wedding? Because that will not work.I became a bit agitated, but I did not let it show. He walked up to me smiling, stretching out a hand. I let him. This would be the last time he would be too close for comfort."You look stunning and peaceful," he complimented me, and I didn't know how to reply, so I just looked at him."I have known you for ages, Serenity. First, as my adopted sister. And then my fated mate. We've been through a lot. You wanted to give us a chance, but I realised it was too late. It's my cross to carry for life, but I'm glad the goddess had favoured you and did not leave you as I did. Alpha Gavin is a great guy, and he loves you to boot. I want you to know that you have my blessing as someone who was once a brother, Serenity. We m
Serenity's P.O.V.Penn readjusted on her seat and continued. "Dick assassination is slang for feasting on his dick like a beastly whore. You feast on him so well that he feels like his soul is leaving his body.""Oh, I see. Make his soul leave his body each time he craves intimacy." I took a quick mental note."This is when you rock your man's dick shamelessly and constantly bring him on edge - not allowing him to release until you permit him. Let me tell you how to edge a man. There are different ways to do that. Including how to use your thumb and forefinger. Are you ready?" Penn asked, and I hurriedly nodded in response. "Get him close to cumming, then squeeze the area between his balls and anus while talking dirty. Then, allow him to rest for at least 1 minu
Serenity's P.O.V."And made me orgasm countless times. He takes his time in bed. But he knows how to discipline me when the occasion calls for it." I told her. I was getting aroused talking about it. But Penn was just getting started."I'm glad you got some good dick. That's a man right there! This night - it'd be your turn to ride him and fuck his brains out. Don't go easy on him…"She started to give advice, and I had to raise my hands to stop her. "Penn, thanks for the jewellery, but we must listen now. Two hours is up…"Instead, Penn cut in, forcing me to sit. "Before we head out, let me coach you a little. You know I'm an expert in this field. I could teach you a lot. Just because a man has fucked you
Serenity's P.O.V.We arrived there, and our attendants were waiting to take Luna Bella's order.Epsom salt, mirrors, and scented oils - all sorts of beauty treats. I knew it would take a while to get me washed up.An omega gave me a special herbal paste on my gum and tongue.After brushing, my teeth got cleaner and whiter than usual.It was beautiful, and I had to ask what was in the herbal paste.I was told it was a mixture of clove, pink salt, cardamom, cinnamon, parasite flusher, and turmeric powder, among other things.I promised myself that I would make it a habit to use thi
