Serena's POVArden had come to the training ground to inspect the progress of the training. The coordinator approached him and gave him a brief update on the how things has been.He seemed to be pleased with the development as he nodded his head satisfyingly.“Let's go say hi” Rachael urged me.“Nope!” I replied quickly.“Why are you so rigid?”“I have never had an open conversation with him in public, yet I was tagged as a slut trying to bed the King! So I am not going, thanks!”I was not willing to embarrass myself. I might even get to him and he would talk down on me. So it was better for me to respect myself and stay put.Rachael left me and headed to Arden. She was his cousin, she could talk to him anytime and anywhere, but I could not dare to compare myself to her. I was different.I watched them from afar as they exchange pleasantries. The coziness between them was admirable.Soon they strolled back to where Rachael and I were standing.“Welcome, Your Majesty” I greeted him cas
Serena's POVAfter Arden had changed things for the Omegas by his decree, things have been much better for me. For the first time ever, I can walk around freely without any judgment or bullying from others. Even the treatment from the palace staff is different.I passed several maids and guards and there were no rude and offensive comments. No one has snickered at me or called me a whore to my face and collectively beat me till I pass out.Needless to say, things are finally working in my favor and for the good of other Omegas. No one, whether a human or an Omega shouldn't have to suffer what I and other Omegas have suffered in the past. I am delighted Arden did that for us.Speaking of Arden, I cannot believe he's changed. He doesn't abuse me or treat me like a cheap whore. He talks to me with care and tenderness.My mind still yearns for nights like the one we had together at the hospital and it's an evidence as to how much our relationship has changed. I held out hope that he would
Serena's POVI didn't want anyone to know I was leaving the palace. Not Rachel nor Adren. I wanted to leave this place to preserve the little peace I have.At least, things for the Omegas have changed and by virtue of his engagement with Sylvia and me being in the academy, I'm free from him and how cruel he is towards me. I know I won't end up with my mate and I might probably not have a mate after being rejected by two of my mates but at least I will not be humiliated and belittled. Worst case scenario, I'll be a lone wolf.I admit it's sad and that's one of the worst things that could happen to any werewolf as everyone would love to have their mate and start their pack but it might not be so for me. As long as things have changed for the Omegas, I can live with that.I packed my bag and I was prepared to leave but my mind wondered if I should inform Rachel but I didn't. She would probably be furious with me for not telling her but I'd rather take that than to take being humiliated o
Serena's POVThey said life comes at us in different ways. Sometimes you lose, some other times you will win, it doesn't have a pattern, either of the two could come first. It depends on how fate wants our journey to be.Within a short period, my nightmares turned into sweet dreams, ones that I'd never want to wake up again. It became nights of bliss and days of sunshine.My early days in the palace were from one humiliation to another, and I was an object of bully. No one has spared me from their trap and insults.Upon my journey into the royal training, I have experienced warmth within this short period more than I can attest to throughout the journey of my existence up until this moment.I felt closer and closer to Arden, he was now soft and gentle with me, and I could now look into his eyes when I spoke to him. He was now looking out for me.I now have a friend who I could refer to as my sister. A warm companion who I could rest on her shoulder. Rachael was indeed lovely.With an
Serena's POVI woke up to the sun shining brightly and birds using their beautiful songs to usher in the new day. Activities of the day was already on full swing which prompted me to get ready for my own day. The day of my last task.I got myself prepared for the day thinking about how far I've come. I wasn't a helpless weak palace servant anymore. That's all behind me now.I got a message from Rachel wishing me good luck with the task today and I smiled. I know I might probably have to take on Rachel or Alpha Zone truly, they have been more than friends to me. I would have lasted another agonizing day without them.I wore my training clothing and I looked in the mirror satisfied with what I saw then I made my way to the palace.The palace was packed full with people who were going to watch today's last task. My heart raced with both anxiety and excitement but I couldn't tell which was more.I met up with Rachel and she looked ready as ever and completely calm."Today's the big day."
Serena's POVAfter the task, I went to the locker room and freshened up. I was given a guard uniform to wear and I never for a million lifetime would have thought I would be Adren's personal guard. It's like I was doomed to forever be bound to him. I got into the academy to be free from him. Now, I'm even closer to him than before.I am glad Alpha Zone helped me out but this was not the reward I had in mind. For all it's worth, I'm no longer a lowly slave but a higher authority that still objects to these orders and commands.I came out in my uniform and I admit I look very nice in it but I certainly didn't feel that way. Both Rachel and Alpha Zone were also given uniforms also and we were to report to the Adren."Hey, are you okay?" Rachel whispered as we walked."Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I be?" I let the lie flow like water but I know she can tell I'm not okay."Even deaf humans can tell you're lying." Alpha Zone said with his voice even and eyes front. It looks like he is as up
Serena's POVWe sat in silence and I kept looking outside the window to avoid any form eye contact with him. I tried my best to look as formal as possible but I couldn't help but think that he was sitting in front of me, with very little space between us and there's no much a girl can hold on to.I snapped out of those thoughts. Rachel and Alpha Zone said I should stay away from him or at least be as official as I can be with him."Why are you always looking out the window?" I asked."Pardon?" I asked like I wasn't listening to him. All a ploy to act like I'm uninterested in him."Why are you looking out the window?" He asked again."Looking out for rogues. We might never know when they'll plan to attack." I said firmly.He barked out a loud and long laugh. "It's so funny how you have been beaten more times than I can count and you are acting all big and tough." He said."I apologise for not seeing your safety as a funny game." I said with my tone as dry as possible."Touche" he said.
Serena's POVAs soon as we got down from the carriages, Sylvia excitedly walked up to Arden and planted a long kiss on his lips. It's either she did it to spite me or she is truly deeply in love with him. I believe it's the former.She eyed me carefully, probably wondering why I was here and, most importantly, why I was in a guard's uniform."Serena, Zone, I want to personally congratulate you on your successful course in the academy." She said she was a saint.Alpha Zone and I simply bowed in response like we already practised how we'd respond to her."Shall we?" Arden asked."Not yet, my darling." She said, then walked to me. She held my hands like we had a previous rapport, and she would like to rekindle our friendship."I know I haven't always been nice to you, I am truly happy for your progress and success." She said, but I could feel everything she said was a lie. This was all a facade.I forced a smile. "Thank you for your kind words." I said as nicely as possible."When do you
