Serena I'll Find You!

last update Last Updated: 2023-12-29 00:42:45

KANE'S POV

The first rays of dawn filtered through the window when I awoke from my restless slumber. My mind still reeled from the events of the previous night - the night I had cast Serena aside for the final time.

Rolling over with a groan, I expected to find a warm body next to me, as I often did. But instead, I found only cold, empty space. The previous night's dalliance had already slipped away unnoticed. 

As I rose from bed and slipped into a robe, an uneasy feeling nagged at the edges of my thoughts. Something felt amiss, but I chalked it up to the lingering effects of a night spent drinking away my frustrations. 

My suspicions were confirmed when I paid a visit to Serena's old cell, now deserted. Word soon reached me - she had vanished under the cover of darkness, disappearing without a trace. 

 I summoned my head guard Markus.

"Any word on the whereabouts of the slave Serena?" I asked.       

Markus frowned. "Not since the night she vanished, Alpha. It's like she evaporated into thin air."

I held back a growl, frustrated by this response. "Search the cell again. Leave no stone unturned."

Markus bowed and departed, leaving me to brood alone. I shrugged it off with little concern. 

"Good riddance", I thought, one less burden to carry. Yet, the emptiness she left behind lingered in unsettling ways.

 As Markus hurried to carry out my orders, a messenger arrived, breathless with news. "Alpha Kane, the Lycan King demands your presence. An urgent matter."

I shot him a quizzical look. "Are you sure? What could the Lycan King want with me?"

The messenger nodded vigorously. "No mistake, Alpha. His message was clear, and he seemed enraged. It concerns a matter of great importance."

An uneasy knot tightened in my stomach. "Lead the way, then. I'll meet with the Lycan King and address whatever matter he deems urgent."

I tightened the robe around me, and as I followed the messenger through the corridors a sense of foreboding settling in.  

Once at entrance of the audience chamber, I found the Lycan King awaiting, flanked by two imposing figures.

Entering the grand audience chamber, I bowed respectfully before the Lycan King, his presence commanding attention. "Your Majesty," I began, "to what do I owe the honor of this summons?"

The Lycan King's eyes bore into mine, a mix of authority and urgency. 

"It has come to my attention that one of my subjects resided within your pack - against her will," he rumbled, fixing me with a penetrating stare.

"And who might this subject be?" I asked, though dread gripped my heart.

"Serena," came his reply. "She is of Lycan blood, lost to us for so long. Yet her heritage has finally been revealed."

I straightened, a hint of concern in my voice. "Your Majesty, I assure you, I had no knowledge of Serena's true identity. She left my palace of her own accord, and we are doing everything to find her."

The Lycan King's voice reverberated through the chamber, a mixture of authority and restrained rage. "Serena is no mere subject; she is my long-lost daughter, lost to the world when she was but a child. Her powers as a Lycan were suppressed, her true identity concealed. And you, Alpha Kane, stand accused of doing her great harm."

I stood my ground, meeting the Lycan King's gaze with a mixture of defiance and trepidation. "Your Majesty, I had no knowledge of Serena's true lineage. She left my pack of her own accord. I never intended her harm."

A snarl curled the Lycan King's lips. "Ignorance is no excuse, Alpha Kane. Serena's destiny was to be realized under my guidance, not within the confines of your pack."

Rylan, his beta, the cloaked figure, stepped forward, eyes piercing. "Alpha Kane, the consequences of Serena's departure are severe. The Lycan King's wrath is not to be underestimated. You will assist us in bringing her back, or face the consequences."

Shock coursed through me as the truth surfaced. Serena, a Lycan princess of unrivaled power and I, like a fool, had cast her aside. 

The Lycan King's eyes blazed with fury as he towered over me, his voice thundering through the chamber. "You dare to claim ignorance? I have been informed of the harsh treatment Serena endured within your pack."

I swallowed hard, my voice trembling with remorse. "Your Majesty, I swear upon the moon, I had no knowledge of Serena's true identity or the mistreatment she suffered. If I had known, I would have protected her with my life."

Remorse sliced through me as I realized what I had so carelessly tossed away. A mate of immeasurable worth, and a connection to the mighty Lycan throne. All lost due to my arrogance and fickle nature. 

I dropped to my knee, lowering my head in submission. "Please, great King, grant me a chance to make amends," I begged the Lycan King. "I will hunt relentlessly and return your kin unharmed, with your blessing."

 A low growl emanated from his throat as he considered. Finally, "One chance to redeem yourself, Alpha. Now rise and begin the hunt before I remove you as an obstacle."  

With those ominous words hanging over me, I retreated to plan my pursuit. Serena, I will find you, I vowed. And when I do, you will not escape me again. This time, I would claim you as my own and never let go.

My search began immediately, scouring every inch of my territory for any sign. But she had vanished without a trace.

The early morning light made long shadows on the walls as I walked to the pack's meeting hall.

The ache in my body mirrored the pain in my heart, a constant reminder of the betrayal I had endured.As I pressed forward, the sound of distant footsteps reached my ears. Panic surged through me, and I veered off the path, seeking the shelter of the trees. The voices grew louder, and I strained to catch their words."Did you hear about that slave who escaped from Kane's pack?" one voice whispered, tinged with a mix of curiosity and pity."Yeah, the one who was treated like dirt. Can't blame her for running." replied another, the words sharp with judgment.I huddled behind the thick trunk of a tree, my breath catching at the mention of Kane's name. The villagers continued their conversation, oblivious to the fact that the escaped slave they spoke of was mere feet awa

    SerenaOne cold evening, with the fire casting long shadows on our faces, Thomas reached out to me. His voice was a raspy shadow of his usual hearty tone. "Serena, you've been our angel in these dark times. If... if we don't make it, promise me you'll continue on. Live a full life, for you and your child."I grasped his hand, the weight of his request anchoring me to a reality I wasn't ready to face. "Don't talk like that, Thomas. You're going to pull through this. We'll get through this together," I implored, my voice cracking with emotion.Thomas managed a weak smile. "You've already given us more than we could have hoped for, Serena. You've brought light into our lives when all seemed lost."As the night deepened, the air grew colder, and the crackling of the dying fire seemed to echo the fading hope in our hearts.Late that night, Eleanor's voice, barely a whisper, called out to me. "Serena, promise me you'll protect our child. Promise me you'll find happiness."Tears streamed dow

    9KaneThe atmosphere was tense as Nathalie, with a confident and almost predatory stride, entered my quarters. Her eyes, sharp and discerning, locked onto mine, and for a moment, it felt as if she were peering into my very soul."Alpha Kane," she began, her voice smooth as honey, yet with an underlying hiss of a snake ready to strike. "I trust you've been eagerly anticipating this meeting."I stood tall, my expression stern. "Speak, Nathalie. Your games are wearing thin. What do you know of Serena?"She took a step closer, her movements deliberate and seductive. Her attire was a calculated choice, a form-fitting dress that hugged her curves and left little to the imagination, its deep red hue a stark contrast against her pale skin. The neckline plunged daringly, and the slit along her leg suggested freedom and ease of movement that a predator like her might require. "Perhaps I do know something that could aid you," she purred, her eyes never leaving mine. "But knowledge, as you know

    10SerenaThree months later...Far away from Kane's Pack, in the isolated Silver Creek Pack, I had given birth. My labor had been long and agonizing, with no one by my side as the contractions wracked my body. When the first baby emerged, a little girl, I felt a glimmer of joy amid the pain. But the second baby did not come as easily. "Push! You must push!" I urged myself through clenched teeth. With one final scream, my son slipped free, but he did not cry. Panic seized me as i pulled him to my chest, patting his tiny back desperately. Then, a little mewl, and a breath of relief escaped my lips. My children were here, perfect and healthy despite the difficulty of the birth. I held them close, tears mingling with smiles as i gazed upon their tiny faces.

My escape had not gone unnoticed, as I had feared, and now the Lycan King's entire retinue was on my trail, intent on dragging me back to that dank cell. "Stop right there! Surrender, or you'll be nothing but wolf fodder!" bellowed a gruff voice as I sprinted through the shadowy forest."You think you can escape the Lycan King's grasp? You're a fool!" warned another guard, their shouts echoing through the trees.Ignoring their threats, I continued running, the moonlight casting eerie shadows on my fur. "You won't make it far, mutt! The King wants you back in that cell!" a guard sneered."If you don't stop running, you'll be a death meat, werewolf! The King's orders!" another shouted, the desperation in their voices matching the howls of pursuit.The trees ahead were getting fewer, and the moonlight peeked through, shining on my fur.

Is it really you?"My voice was barely above a whisper as I questioned her with furrowed brows,Staring at her, my heart and head were in a battle, on one hand, I wanted to rush to her and never let her go, on the other I wanted to berate and ask her when she had been, her absence had cost me a lot. Serena barely acknowledged me as she got on her knees before the king, clasping her hands she begged in a broken voice,"Please, Sir! Please don't kill him, please save his life for the sake of our children" Everyone present let out a loud gasp, with their eyes as wide as saucers. “What is she talking about?”“Children?

"She will not be deterred. But neither can we allow her to rush into danger alone.""Then go after her, and do not return without her," snapped Maximus. "Ensure no harm comes to my daughter. And you-" He turned to Kane. "If anything should happen to her, you will answer to me."Kane nodded solemnly. "You have my word, Alpha."I had just reached the stables when Luka caught up to me. "Princess, please wait."I whirled to face him, eyes blazing. "Have you come to drag me back in chains? I will not be coddled or controlled like a helpless cub."Luka held up his hands peacefully. "I mean you no harm. But nor can I stand idly by while you rush headlong into peril. Your father cares for you deeply, as do I." He took a step closer, voice softening.

    23At dawn the next day, I prepared myself and snuck out of my room to go meet up with Kane at the stable, I hadn't told anyone about my plan, not even my father or Luka,While I trudged down the road to the stables, the searing pain in my sides reminded me that I was not healed and yet I was planning another journey, and intending to ride on a horse to an unknown place, with the hope of rescuing my cubs. I could not dare to sit idly by while children were out there somewhere.‘Mama is coming, babies, I'll do whatever it takes to rescue you both and be reunited with you! I swear this by the moon goddess’ I soliloquized to myself, wincing against the pain at my side, My booted feet made crunching noises on the graveled ground with each step, I hurried my feet to move faster, despite the pain in my stomach and the nerves that coursed through me.I was not prepared for the sight that greeted me when I finally walked up to the stables, I stared unwittingly at the sight before me; my fath

    22SerenaLight pierced my eyes as I awoke in the healer's chambers some time later. My side ached fiercely but the wound had been stitched. King Maximus sat at my bedside, worry etched onto his face."You foolish girl," he rasped. "I told you war was no place for an untested ruler. Look what your arrogance has wrought!" I tried to speak but he silenced me. "Save your excuses. From now on you will obey my rule without question, do you understand?"Shame and disappointment weighed on me as I nodded weakly. The healers rushed to apply soothing salves, but no medicine could ease the failure in my heart. I had disobeyed my father and led our troops into peril without due care. Though the orcs had been routed, at what cost to myself and kingdom? I could only pray I had not compromised our security through rash action and inexperience.My body ached as I drifted in and out of consciousness. When finally I awoke again, the events of the battle came flooding back - our forces clashing with

Luka rode beside me, his calm presence soothing my nerves. "The border is near," he said. "Whatever awaits us, know that I have faith in your leadership." I nodded gratefully, though my doubts remained. Too soon, the frontier came into view - and with it, signs of war. Plumes of black smoke rose from burning farms in the distance. My heart clenched at the suffering of innocents caught in this conflict."The orcs have breached the border," Luka said grimly, breaking the silence. "We must engage them swiftly before they advance further."I nodded, steeling my resolve. "Form ranks and charge on my command." With a blast of horns, our Lycan cavalry surged across the plains. As we approached the battlefield, the vastness of the enemy force came into focus - a horde of orcs, pillaging all in their path. As we drew nearer, the vast orc army came int

    20SerenaMy heart raced as Luka's lips met mine tenderly. All thoughts of duty and rumors fled my mind, lost in the gentleness of his kiss. Too soon, he pulled away, gazing down at me with questions."Princess, I did not mean to overstep. Your duties and station..."I silenced him with a finger to his lips. "Please, say no more of duty right now. In this moment, I am but a woman seeking comfort in troubled times. And you have been the kindest of companions these past days."Luka gazed at me with such tenderness it made my breath catch. "There is no one I would rather stand beside as you weather life's storms, my princess. But I would never presume or compromise your position in any way."I smiled softly. "Then do not think of status or station for now.""Princess, we must be cautious. Your position demands it, and I would never endanger you." I knew he spoke wisdom, yet in that moment all I wanted was to lose myself in his embrace. "Please Luka, just a little while longer. No one

I welcome honest counsel, however gruffly delivered. Now Rigel, share your views - but choose words carefully."Rigel eyed me warily. "With respect, Princess, you've yet to face true hardship. War is no place for delicate sensibilities."I arched a brow at Rigel. "Pray tell, what do you know of my hardships?" I asked calmly. Rigel shifted, clearly unaccustomed to being questioned. "With respect Princess, I meant no offense. It's just that war ain't no place for a lady." "Is that so?" I replied evenly. "Then enlighten me, Rigel - what defines a lady, if not her character?"Rigel opened his mouth then closed it, at a loss. I pressed on. "You assume I am weak or delicate because of my title, my birth? Things over my control. But you should rather judge me for those within - my character, convictions

As the figure turned, a familiar face emerged from the shadows. "Kane!" I breathed in horror and rage. "What are you doing here? How did you get past the guards?"He took a step toward me, hands raised in a gesture of peace. "Serena, please. I just want to talk."I backed away, hand groping behind me for anything to use as a weapon. "You've said more than enough. Get out before I call for help!"Kane sighed in frustration. "Will you not listen to reason? I know what you must think of me, but the past is the past. We were happy once." Another step forward prompted a matching step back from me. "Happy?" I spat. "You made my life a living hell! Give me one good reason I shouldn't end you where you stand." His eyes flashed dangerously in the lamplight. "Because whether you like it or not, we are bound. I am your mate."My fingers closed aro

I whiled away my hours in fittings, selecting the finest silks and jewels from the royal treasury for my gown. As the week passed in a flurry of preparations, I found my thoughts often drifting back to Kane, no matter how I tried distracting myself. Alone in my chambers in the evenings, I would sit holding Thomas and Evelyn's delicate silver necklace, tracing its teardrop moonstone pendant with my fingertips. May their gentle souls rest peacefully. Memories of their kindness when they took me in after Kane cast me out would flood back, bringing a fresh wave of grief and loneliness. I recalled nights sitting by the fire as Evelyn tended to my wounds, her gentle hands and soothing voice like a mother's. Thomas teaching me to read by the afternoon light streaming through the windows. Their love and acceptance had been my saving grace in the darkness that foll

The royal gardens came into view, bursting with colorful blooms. I spun to face him, eyes ablaze. "Well? You have your five minutes. Speak before I change my mind and call the guards." Kane held up his hands placatingly. "Serena, I know you have every right to despise me. But please believe that I'm here only to help find our pups."A bitter laugh escaped me. "Our pups? You lost any claim to call them yours the day you told me that my unborn child was a bastard." My voice rose as pent up rage and hurt bubbled over. "Do you have any idea what I went through after your rejection?!" Tears pricked my eyes but I refused to let them fall. "I was heavy with your cubs and had nothing - no home, no family, no means to provide for them. I nearly died giving birth alone in the wilderness because of you!"Kane
