Chapter 77 - Seren
Last Updated:
2025-03-17 17:48:09I knew my reaction had been uncecessary. I knew Marcus was simply doing his job as Alpha in ensuring my safety, but I could not hold back my frustration when he told me that he needed to look through the information. That meant waiting. I was not ready to wait. I needed to get away! I hoped after everything he would understand that.
I rushed through the long hallway of the packhouse, doing my best to avoid the gazes of the many pack members that littered the hallways as I moved. I was certain their eyes looked at me with curiosity. A questioning look that had not been there before…
They all knew. The gossip that had caused my friend to reach out to me had likely spread to them too. A heaviness filled my gut, as an unease settled over me. What must they be thinking of me? I felt sick at the very idea. I did not even know what was being said around pack, but I knew gossip only tended to get worse as it spread. And that thought made me feel uncomfortable, and only

I couldn’t take my eyes away from my hands, other than the occasional swift glance toward the battered boots upon my feet. Anything but meet the intense glare of my Alpha… my best friend sitting opposite me. He wanted answers. Answers that I knew I was expected to give. Or they would become answers I was forced to give. Answers I did not want to share.My insides tightened at the thought as I swallowed heavily. Tyr grumbled within my mind, which in truth, was the last thing that I needed right now. He had a tendency to pop up when I needed him the least. Saying things to rile me. ‘Maybe it is time to tell the truth.’ He said calmly.Well, I am glad one of us is calm, as right about now it felt like my heart wanted to beat right out of my chest and bounce on down the damn corridor. ‘No shit, smart ass. I don’t really have a choice do I?’ I snapped back, still avoiding the watchful eyes of Marcus. Damn was he m

The sound of Marcus’s chair scraping along the floor as he moved to stalk the office in fury is echoing in my head. I was beginning to think time had stood still until that noise had occured. The way he was looking at with me with such distate and displeasure told me all I needed to know. He knew. My best friend, my Alpha knew the secret I had been fighting so desperately to hide. He knew and he looked pissed off.I had thought I had done the right thing chosing to not reject Seren, following the ways Marcus wanted to continue within our pack. Tradition. Knowing that even if I had secretly rejected her, and gone about our life that there would always be the risk of it being discovered. The aftermath would have been catastrophic. And this way had offered an opportunity where we could go on and find chosen mates if the choice occured... an opportunity for happiness. Heirs. A future. I thought I had chosen the right option for us... for the pack... but looking at the cold

My head was still feeling like it was spinning, though I was unsure if that was from irritation or confusion. But what I was sure of was I did not want Marcus near me. His words angered me. More than I expected them to. I snatched my arm away from Marcus and stalked across to the window to look out of it, desperately needing to calm myself down.No matter how I tried to look at this, none of it made sense. I don’t need anything clearing up. I most certainly do not need to sit and discuss something I have spent the past years trying so desperately to block out. Something that had caused me too much pain. And something that I had seen slowly destroy my Mum. It was easier to block it out than sit and talk about it. Everytime even the slightest memory returns anger floods my body.Marcus had clearly chosen he had not said enough, and had chosen to follow me to the window. He was soon by my side, looking at me in that horrendous sympathetic way that I hate. One that told me he didn't really

Flashback – 8 years ago I had been out for my run, and was heading back down through the paths of pack, the sun was shining gloriously today, so sitting in the office focusing on the stack of papers greeting me had not been appealing in the slightest, so the run had most certainly been calling.As I crossed the road, I noticed a familiar small figure ahead, almost skipping along as she walked. This little mischief. Her little head bopping along as if to imaginary music as she walked. I made my way toward her, and she seemed totally oblivious of my presence.“Now, now, now…” I greeted Seren, making her eyes dart upward toward me. She swallowed heavily the moment she realized it was me, her eyes widened, and both filled with fear. I could not help but smile as I continued. “Where would you be sneaking off to little lady?”“Erm…” Seren began, her eyes darting around like she was searching for an answer. She was the sweetest little thing. So unlike the rowdy boys, but yet strangely able

Current Day. I sat next to Uncle Harry as he explained some of what my father had told him had occurred, my eyes narrowing as I glanced at him. “How do you know this?”He offered me a gentle smile. “He kept in touch that whole time. We all did, the three of us, Alpha, Beta and Gamma. But the earlier meeting with Seren, he mentioned when both me and Zane were in the office. He minlinked to let us know where the little mischief was. Told us of their conversation because he knew it would make us smile. We knew what she was like.”I frowned. “And? You think that shit changes anything? It proves Seren was exactly where I said she was. Where she was not meant to be. Where my father died. Yet you sit there smiling fondly about it. Saying her doing that shit made you all smile, when it was her stupidity that caused this fucking mess. My Dad had gone to save her. Therefore it was her fault he died. She killed him!&r

Flashback – 8 years ago Pack had descended into chaos and it concerned me. We had always been so well organized when it came to training for things like this. Perhaps because Rogue attacks were so rare now we were out of practice. But, I had the greatest of faith in all of my pack members, especially my warriors squads and guards.‘Baby, you and the kids are all safe and at home, aren’t you?’ I linked my mate, and Luna, Zoe. Yes, priority was to ensure my pack was safe, but orders were out there, the pack knew what to do. My other priority was also my family. My mate and my son and heir.‘I am, and Marcus is with me, he hadn’t gone to join the boys yet as he had homework to finish.’ Her voice, be it through the link or not was a welcomed sound. I have never been more glad that she was being stricter on Marcus of late to prepare him for the responsibilities of role of Alpha one day. &l

Current day The room was in a pained silence. A cold chill spread across my body, as I walked to the window. I needed a moment. Time to think. Yet, the words of my Uncle were echoing through my mind, and they were not going anywhere. This was not how I had remembered it. How had I not known of this?There were muffled voices sounding behind me, but my mind was so distracted I had no clue what was being said despite my enhanced hearing. My mind was upon the gardens outside the window, and on my Dad. The man that I had lost. He had always been my hero, and seemingly he had died the hero too. Tears stung painfully at my eyes. I hated that I did not know any of the things he had gone through in the short time before he died. He was being the Beta he had trained so hard to be.Footsteps sounded behind me. “So, perhaps if you want someone to blame, Lach, it is me.” Uncle Harry said somberly.“No, Dad. That i

I was rushing, there was no time to wait. I wanted to put this right. I had royally fucked up, and I needed to do all I could to correct that. Of course, I knew it was unlikely to be easy. After all, Seren had seemingly given up all hope of us. I had made her angry. Understandably so. Not only that, but there was still so much to process…‘Fucking process?’ My wolf roared angrily. ‘It is too late for fucking processing. Processing should have been done a long time ago. Did you not hear what your Uncle told you? Your mind was misleading you. Your very thoughts were going in the wrong direction. Your anger taking her away. You could have cost us our fated!’A sinking feeling sat within my belly. I hoped my wolf was wrong. I would need to process all the information I had learned. I knew that. Ignoring it was never going to help. All this had taught me that. But, first we needed to fix this. I could not lose Seren. Not now. Not after everyth

The drive to pack was awkward and near silent. The occasional uncomfortable glance from my brother made me wish I had found an excuse to stay on campus rather than return home this weekend. It was only as we neared the gates that he chose to speak up, and I knew in that moment what was laying heavy on his mind.“I think it is better you don’t mention anything about the situation with you and Lachlan while you are home. It hurt a lot of people that neither one of you spoke up about it. Secrets among family are not right, let alone going against pack beliefs…” Cole’s tone was tense, and irritation built within my body at his words, but I held back. I knew when I agreed to keep silent about the matebond that it would hurt those close to us. I knew the damage it could do, but I made the agreement with Lachlan all the same,and now we were fcing the consequences.Cole did not wait for a response as he continued brusquely. &ldq

My first week of classes had been hectic. Meeting all my new tutors and, of course, all my new class mates. I was learning the new schedule that would become my new normal for the coming months. All while I learned my way around campus. And, I had to say I loved it! The place was massive, like a maze if you did not know your way around, but it was so fun, and there was so much to do. I could not be happier to be here...In truth, I had surprised myself with how easily I had settled in, and how equally easily I had made friends. Within my first two days of class I had met Laila and Charlie, both girls were within my General medicine class, and we instantly hit it off. We had so much in common, and when put together to work alongside one another we bonded over our love of music. We chatted as we worked, laughing so much, to the point we got ourselves in trouble! But, I loved every moment of it. And, the girls had barely left my side since.Most evenings after classes had

I had no clue how long I had sat there, my Uncle by my side, and tears filling my eyes. My mind wandered with thoughts of the potential things my Mum may think of me… feel toward me… what if she resented me? That was a thought I had never considered before. But, I had never believed for a moment that my own mother could be scared of me until now. What if she remained scared of me over all these years? That was not something a mother should feel toward her son. The very thought sickened me. Our closeness had always been something that brought me comfort after my Dad died. She was all I had left. Now I could not help but question if that connection we shared had simply been an act? All through fear?It was only as Uncle Harry’s hand touched my back in an attempt to bring some form of reassurance that I snapped out of the pained filled daze I was in. “Crying may do you some good son.” He rubbed my back gently. “I cried like

I do not know how many days have passed since she went. All I know is Seren is no longer in pack. And any lingering presence of my wolf have drifted further into the ether of my mind. I think he has weakened further without her. Seemed my plan to simply manage without her may not have been the best one… I remained at the cabin. I was of no use to anyone at present, I knew that, and it appeared neither Marcus nor Cole were in any rush to come and find me. I believed by now they both knew where I was, so if either one wanted or needed me they were more than capable of coming to find me. But at the same time I knew they were both angry at me for my treatment of Seren. Cole, understandably so as her brother, but Marcus too, as not only her Alpha but in a big brother type way too, having grown up alongside her. I had managed to fuck things up in one foul-swoop. What frustrated me more than anything w

Having shared food with Marcus and my brother within my new home, I now found myself alone and oddly unsure of my new surroundings. The moment the two of them had left me to return to pack I had busied myself with unpacking the few things that needed unpacking, and rearranging things to how I would like them. But, because my Mum and my Aunts had done so much there was very little for me to do; and very soon I found my way to the sofa with a deflated sigh...I felt an unease settling over me as I sat down. No matter the way my family may have gone to the effort to decorate the new home to resemble my old home, I was in an unfamiliar place, and it was making me feel a little on edge. But, I was sure that was just the thought of the new things I had facing me in the coming days. Also, I knew my wolf was unsettled by this new beginning I had chosen for us, despite it not being a long term choice, it was one purely for my education, my wolf evidently did not agree with my decision. I did n

The campus was busy. Busier than I had expected when I had imagined it, I think. Though, we had arrived on a day that there was a sports match taking place, so from what I understood that did add to the capacity of people that passed through. Who knew? I sure did not… Maybe I had led a somewhat sheltered life having lived within the pack, so being brought to this chaotic new surrounding may take more than a little getting used to.I could see my older brother’s eyes darting around as we moved to the small area of campus in which my apartment sat, and he still had that same displeased expression upon his face. I did not think he was going to have anything but a disgruntled expression on that face of his the entire time we were here in all honesty, because he did not think this was the right decision for me. But, Marcus was trying harder to be postive.“The sun is shining, that tells you the moon goddess is blessing you with her prese

The car ride was going to be awkward. My whole body trembled the moment I lowered myself into the seat. My heart was beating so hard from standing up to Lachlan, and I could not lie, it also ached from the fact I had walked away from everything between us so easily… okay, maybe not so easly. It had taken a lot of thought over the previous days. Maia was whimpering at the back of mind as we drove away from him, and as I turned back to look at him through the window, he remained where we left him, simply stood with his hands by his sides, his eyes upon the car as it drove away. His eyes dark and blank. Very much looking like a broken man. How had things come to this?‘Don’t go.’ Maia whimpered. ‘Let him speak.’ She urged. I knew she was fighting every natural urge a wolf had when it came to their fated mate, but she had also spoken of her need to protect me. She had fought everything within her to help me heal, and she knew

It had tore me apart hearing that Seren was leaving pack. When I had been all but forced to agree to not seeing her, I was comforted by the fact that Seren was in pack. She was being cared for by our own doctors, and some of the best around at that. Plus, she had our families visiting her. I knew, despite not being able to see her, she was close, and she was well. Hearing she was well enough to be discharged from the pack hospital had been a rush of relief, of course it had, but that had soon been replaced by a flood of pain the moment Marcus told me that he had permitted for her to go and continue her studies in the city. He was allowing her to leave me. Leave our pack. And, I believed his reasoning for that was because of how I had treated her.Marcus was my friend, but he was also a friend to Seren. I believed, considering the way in which he acted around me of late that he found himself torn between the two friendships... perhaps rightly so. We had alway

Marcus and Cole had come to the hospital to collect me. I was finally able to leave. Relief was not a word to describe it. I did not know how to explain it, for it simply felt like time had been paused, yet I had been here for an eternity. The same four walls of a room begin to feel like a prison despite the fact you are not being forced to stay there. I think I knew every part of that room in far too much detail. But, the moment had come for me to be discharged with my body all but healed.There were still the occasional niggling pain, or ache depending upon how I moved, but it was nothing I could not cope with. The doctors had reassured me I was well on the way to a full recovery. I had been told I had been lucky. But, I did not feel lucky. Far from it. I had chosen not to consider all of that though. I had a future to focus upon, and thanks to Marcus, his mate and my planning, I was able to do that.“Still don’t agree with this.” Cole grumbled as h
