last update Last Updated: 2025-01-05 15:45:24

Serena’s POV

The next morning, I jogged along the perimeter of the camp. My thoughts were filled only with uncertainty. Every step felt like an attempt to outrun the guilt of Zone’s sacrifice and the prophecy Draven had shared.

My body ached, my Wolfmother instincts sharpened with every passing day, but I pushed myself harder. The pack needed me to be strong, even when I wasn’t sure I could be.

I slowed down near the eastern border, catching my breath as the first rays of sunlight appeared. That’s when I heard it—a low, labored groan from the forest. My heart stopped.

“Zone?” I whispered.

I ran towards the sound, my legs moved before my mind could fully process the possibility. And then I saw him.

Zone staggered out of the trees, his body covered in wounds and dried blood. His clothes were torn, and his usually sharp eyes were clouded with pain, but he was alive.

“Zone!” I ran towa

    Serena’s POVThe forest was around us as we made our way toward the witches’ stronghold. There was tension in the air and every sound was amplified by the gravity of what lay ahead. Rachel walked beside me, her face was pale yet she had determination written all over it.Behind us, Ardan and Zone exchanged quiet words with a lowered and serious tone.I clutched my stomach instinctively, the life growing inside me was a constant reminder of how much was at stake. My thoughts were only of doubt and fear. Could I lead them into battle knowing I might not return? And what if Gloria’s spirit was right—what if my child was destined to bring destruction instead of unity?“Serena,” Ardan’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. He had moved closer with piercing gaze locking onto mine. “We’ll get through this. Together.”I nodded, though I wasn’t completely certain. I wanted to believe him, but Gl

    Serena’s PoVThe dawn was breaking and the first light of the day fell on the camp in a bright golden colour. The air finally felt like there was no longer a huge weight on top of us, a burden that had been there for years. The witches had been defeated and plague had been eradicated, as if the world had reached a sigh of relief. However, it does not end with this triumph, but instead, the process of recovering begins here.I was near the edge of the camp when I saw members of different packs helping each other gather branches, stones and other materials to form a brand new shelter for the rogue pack as a form of thanks. They sang in melody as they did. My fingers touched my belly, as if to reassure me of the developing life within me.When I considered the fact that I would soon have a child, I felt an odd combination of something. These are the emotions, which I associate with fear, uncertainty, and an unshakable desire to shield those I love. The truth

    Serena’s PoVIt was still early morning and the weather was chilly as I came out; my hands went towards my enlarged belly. It had become a much quieter camp in the following weeks after the annihilation of Gloria’s magic as well as the removal of the plague. For the first time in a long time, wolves from Ardan’s pack, the rogues, and the refugees joined each other in constructing homes and clearing wreckage. However, I could not feel at ease; it was as if a storm was brewing in the background.“Serena,” Rachel’s voice called for me from behind. I turned to see her walking towards me with a basket of herbs in her hands. Her cheeks were red, and I could not even let myself not notice how she was looking at Zone, who was busy with strengthening the outer line of defence.“Rachel,” I said with a smile, pointing at Zone. “You should go talk to him.”She blushed, negating the statement with subtle head movements. “I am overwhelmed by the work load at the moment.”“Rachel,” I said in a stern

Serena and I walked side by side with her arm linked through mine. Her stomach had gotten big. It had been months of quiet, a stillness that was rare and cherished in our pack..“It actually feels kinda suspicious that it has been so quiet”, Serena spoke.“Don’t jinx it,” I joked, holding her hand gently.She laughed.”Have you given more consideration to the names?” she asked lifting her head slightly to look at me.“For the baby?” I pretended to think deeply. “If it’s a girl, I was thinking it would be good if we could name her Evelyn.”Serena came to a halt and looked at me with a warm smile manifesting on her lips. “Evelyn?”I nodded. “It feels... right. A name that conveys strength along with elegance.”“And if it’s a boy?” she asked further, raising her eyebrow with a teasing smirk on her lips.I grinned. “Ardan Jr., of course.”Se

    ARDAN’s PoVIt was a silent night. Evelyn started to wake up in my arms as I was swaying her back and forth. Her baby-like hands clutched the collar of my shirt. As small as she was, she had no idea the burden she had on her back.“You are safe,” I murmured, tracing the brim of her cheek with my thumb. “Oh, I’ll see to it that you remain like that.”She only breathed gently and deeply in the silence of the night. At that moment, our world was peaceful, as if the turbulences and tragic events which had occurred in the past several months were just a nightmare.That moment did not last long and it was ruined by the appearance of Draven in the tent. He looked rather serious and did not have the usual relaxed character that he usually possessed.“What is it, Draven?” I asked, although deep inside I didn’t know if I really wished to hear what they had to say.He paused for a moment, staring blindly before his gaze shifted to Evelyn. “It’s about your daughter.”Instantly, I stiffened and my

But these sounds weren’t coming from me.He groaned from satisfaction, but I wasn’t touching him either. No, his pleasure came from Cora, his prostitute wolf. And I was forced to watch them.I was bound to a chair in the corner, watching them mate. Every thrust, every pleasured gasp from Derek, ached me. It was a violation, a reminder of my inability to do nothing, except watch.I watched as Cora sucked him out, deep throating him until she turned red. I watched how roughly Derek handled her. Pulling and grabbing her hair like she was a still object.I was unable to bear the pain of watching my mate mate with Cora, so I squeezed my eyes shut. Suddenly, the sounds ceased, replaced by a satisfied grunt from Derek.My heart raced as I scented Derek slowly approach me. He forcefully took me by the jaw and demanded that I opened my eyes.“Look at me, Omega," he sneered.I forced my eyes open

But today, my movements were sloppy, sluggish and my focus was scattered.And because of that, it gave way for Thorne to land a blow on my arm, a feat that wouldn't have been possible on any other day.Thorne froze, his eyes widening in surprise. "My King, I—"I held up a hand, silencing him before he could launch into apologies. I was ashamed. "Leave me," I said.Thorne hesitated for a moment, his brow furrowed in concern. "Are you certain, Your Majesty? Perhaps you should—""Alone," I repeated, my voice firmer this time.With a silent bow, Thorne turned to leave, leaving me alone on the training grounds.I headed for the bathroom. When I got there, I stripped off my sweat-drenched training clothes. My reflection in the mirror showed a man sculpted for power - broad shoulders, a chiseled jaw, dark hair. Yet, beneath the facade of strength, anxiety had

I looked around the room before looking down at my body.I began to panic as I realized I was lying naked in a bed – a bed that wasn't mine. What the fuck….Glancing beside me, I found a muscular werewolf still asleep. Taking a deeper look I realized it was Joshua, a young member from Derek's pack who I had seen a few times before.My blood ran cold. If anyone came in I would a walking corpse. But I don’t remember how I ended up here. Had Derek… No, that couldn't be right."Joshua?" I croaked, my voice was hoarse.He bolted upright as if stung and his eyes widened with terror. "Serena!

    Serena’s PoVI stood at the edge of the camp Joachim had given us guests to stay. The plague had taken its toll on us, leaving everyone on edge. They were nervous and even unbelieving of better days. I rubbed my temple, worried that one day, their feelings might be correct.“Serena,” Zone called out, breaking me away from my rancid thoughts. “The patrol spotted movement in the forest.”“What kind of movement?” I asked.“Infected wolves,” he said grimly.It’s almost like we were now used to this life so it was not a surprise to me. “We’ll handle it,” I said grimly.“I just wonder when these crazy attacks would stop. I’m hella tired of them I swear to you.” Zone confessed.“I don’t know that answer to your question, Zone. I wish I knew.” I replied tiredly.When we arrived at the forest, the attack came faster than any

    Serena’s PoVI thought about what Zone had said about the curse and we all decided to fan out to look for the source. Every step seemed like a march towards the unknown. Zone led the way while Ardan stayed close to my side. I walked faster, cause I didn’t want him to sense I was pregnant.The only sound one could hear was coming from the crunch of leaves beneath our boots. The forest was so quiet.“We’re close,” Zone said in a low tone.“How can you tell?” I asked, keeping my voice hushed.Zone gestured to a cluster of withered plants nearby. “The further we go, the more the magic corrupts the area. Look at the trees—dead, but not decayed. It’s like the life was drained out of them.”A shiver ran down my spine. The remnants of Gloria’s magic were everywhere. It was like a dark stain on the land.Suddenly, we heard noises through the trees. A group of infected wolv

Then I placed my head down and tried to grab the grass around me to find balance. I breathed in shallow gasps.“Serena?” Rachel’s concerned voice called from behind me.I shifted my head to the side and ran my fingers through my lips. “I’m fine,” I managed to say but even I didn’t believe it.“You’re not fine,” Rachel said firmly, kneeling beside me. Then taking the back of her hand she touched my head and it was quite hot. “You look pale and your pulse is rapid. How long have you been like this?”I shrugged, replying with a shaky tone. “I don’t know. It just started. I just thought it was the stress… everything that’s been happening.”Rachel’s eyes nar
