Serenity's POV
"This is fucking bullshit and you know it. I never attacked the Luna. After I was thrown in the dungeon last night after getting in trouble for going to the waterfall, one of you or the Luna herself inflicted those injuries because there is no way I could of done it with a dislocated shoulder, a fractured shoulder and having my head slammed into the cell wall. I was already injured before seeing you from beatings from the Savage Six earlier that day." I yelled.The pack gasps in surprise, outrage and a range of other emotions, because I have just disrespected their Alpha with the way I spoke to him."Watch your tone with me Serenity, I am your Alpha and you will NOT disrespect me. You will receive 25 lashes every 2 days now instead of 20 and on top of that you will be chained in silver cuffs while this happens so you won't heal as quick. One more outburst and I will kill you right now." my father replies to me angrily.Lowering my head I say "Yes Alpha".My brother Skylar walks towards me and I see he has a blindfold in his hand. Knowing better than to argue or fight I let him cover my eyes.Now that my sight is gone I will not know when the whipping will start."I want everyone to take a lesson from today that no matter who you are all actions have consequences. Even though this vile whore is unfortunately my daughter, she will not receive any special treatment for her crimes and lack of respect. We have been lenient when it comes to Serenity with alot of things. Today we show that we will not tolerate anything from anyone.Sutton has requested to be the one to deliver the punishment and I have granted his request. We added nightshade berry juice to the wolfsbane to make this punishment more painful.Take this as a warning. Guard remove the t-shirt Serenity is wearing." my father informs the pack and asks the guard standing near him.Reece the guard standing near my father walks forward and rips my shirt off leaving me in my sports bra and leggings.Fuck if Sutton is the one delivering my punishment if I survive today I will be surprised. I know full well he will make this hurt.Sutton is the most psychotic, sadistic and malicious person I know.My other brothers are sadistic but Sutton is on a completely different level to them. I always wondered if he turned out this way due to being the middle child and also because he lost his twin brother Stryker when they were 3.Stryker died of wolfsbane poisoning when an assassination attempt on my father went wrong. My father's water had been spiked with wolfsbane and it just so happened that Stryker drank father's drink and died instead of father.I can hear Sutton walking towards me quietly and the soft clink of the silver whip.Waiting for that first strike is absolutely torturous. After what feels like an hour I hear Sutton stop behind me, knowing that the pain will start anytimeAs I wait for the inevitable my nerves kick in, I just want this to be over with but I know Sutton is going to fuck with my head just for his entertainment.5 minutes have passed and all that's happened is Sutton has walked circles around me while dragging the whip to fuck with my head.While I'm thinking how much of an asshole he is the first lashing of the whip hits my lower back, I gasp out in surprise, then the pain kicks in aswell as the burning from the silver, nightshade and wolfsbane."Now you cunt of a thing! You are going to count every single hit you receive" Sutton growls at me."1"*WHIP*"2"*WHIP*"3"*WHIP*"4"*WHIP*"5"*WHIP*Each hit has so much force behind it that I'm barely able to stop from screaming in pain. The pain is excruciating and I can't talk to Artemis at the moment either because of the wolfsbane.If I survive this it will be by the moon goddesses grace that I do."35"*WHIP""36"*WHIP*"37"*WHIP*I am sweating profusely and can feel the blood dribbling down my back from the opens wounds.I am starting to have trouble holding myself up and tears are streaming down my face."Just remember you deserve this you stupid cunt. You show no respect to any of us and never seem to learn your place, no matter how much you get punished." Sutton yells."90"*WHIP**WHIP**WHIP**WHIP*"95"*WHIP**WHIP**WHIP**WHIP*"100"*WHIP*I am starting to get weaker and weaker as the wolfsbane and nightshade work it's way into my body. I'm starting to hallucinate and see some pretty messed up shit thanks to the nightshade. I am dizzy, I have thrown up everything I can now I'm just dry retching now. I don't know at this point how I haven't bled out. I'm just wishing this would end.I can't help but think that this will be the time that they finally kill me. Moon goddess let me die please."147" I whisper softly barely able to stay conscious.*WHIP*"148"*WHIP*"149"*WHIP*"150"*WHIP**WHIP**WHIP**WHIP**WHIP*"That's an extra 5 lashes for the way you spoke to father earlier bitch" Sutton sneers.He drops the whip on the ground, spits on my back, stomps my head facedown into the dirt then walks away.I stay were I am as I'm still bound and I have no energy to move and if I did have the energy I wouldn't be able to due to the pain I'm in."As you can all tell I will not take disrespect lightly no matter who you are. Serenity still has 2 months in the dungeon to go as part of her punishment. She will be moved there as soon as the pack doctor clears her to.I want her healed first so she can feel the pain and not die before she finishes her punishment." My father addresses the pack.I'm fighting so hard to stay conscious when I feel the the collar get taken of my neck followed by the handcuffs.Everything is becoming fuzzy and muffled so I know that i don't have much time till the darkness takes me.I see shadows move around me and voices that sound really far away.I'm gently lifted off the ground and placed onto something soft on my stomach.I can feel we are moving quickly. When we get inside I can hear alout of yelling and shouting going on. There is lots of movement around me.My eyes can't stay open any longer and as I let go to slip into the darkness I swear I hear someone say "Hold on Serenity, I will do everything I can to save you. I promised your gran to watch out for you and I have failed that."As I am taken by the darkness my last thought isDr Stone GreysonSERENITY'S POVI wake up and start looking around to get my bearings. At first there is only darkness around me, then everything starts moving like when you turn a kaleidoscope, when I'm suddenly sitting on the soft grass next to a beautiful lake with mist hanging over the water in a valley filled with trees and wildflowers and benches next to the lake. I feel a nudge to my right hand I look down to find my wolf laying next to me. I lift my hand up and she puts her head in my lap.I gently start stroking her head while I just sit there and listen to the peace and quite.I feel calm and at peace wherever I am. I feel no pain, fear or any other negative emotion I normally feel, all I feel is absolutely peace.I look down at my wolf's head in my lap "where are we Artemis? Why don't I feel any pain" I say to my wolf."She can't reply to you here, my child. She's not a part of you in this realm." says a soft and very familiar voice.I turn around so fast and there is my gran sitting on on
SKYLER'S POVIt's the middle of the night and I have snuck into the pack hospital again to see my sister Serenity. It's been nearly 2 months since her punishment. Watching Sutton deliver her punishment was truly disturbing. I have never seen something like that before and it will stay with me forever. You could tell he was enjoying it and was taking pleasure in the way he hurt her.Looking at her laying on the hospital bed with her back looking like someone attacked it with a meat cleaver makes me furious and distraught at the same time.I wanted to step in and stop Sutton but I knew if I did then I would have been punished aswell.I gently hold my sister's hand and just pray to the moon goddess she will be ok.Since I was old enough to understand, Stephan and I have been raised to hate Serenity. We were told that she was evil, that she tried to kill Statham when they were little, that she stole Statham's right to be the future Alpha and she also got our older brother Stryker killed d
UNKNOWN POVStanding in my office window, I watch my warriors train. Being the second strongest pack gives us a bigger target for rouges, other packs, and different supernaturals that try to take us out as they want to try to make a point. They never succeed as my warriors are well trained, and I like to make sure my warriors are ready for anything. "Alpha Brennon, Blake's mate Briella has had a vision and said she needs to see you immediately." My beta, Kane, mindlinks me."Bring them up to my office, and you join us too," I reply."Yes, Alpha," Kane replies.I keep watching my warriors till I hear my office door open and my Beta, Gamma, and his mate walk in.Gamma Blake's mate Briella is a witch, and she will get visions.When she gets them it's normally something very important.Turning around, I gesture for them all to take a seat. Once seated, I turn to Briella, "What was the vision you saw Bri, is the pack in danger?" I ask.Bri sits straighter and says to me "No Alpha Brennon,
SERENITY'S POV BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP....As my hearing slowly returns to me I can hear the beeping of the machines near me. I try to open my eyes but they feel so heavy.Just laying there listening to my surroundings I can hear what sounds like muffled sobs and someone holding my hand. I stay perfectly still and keep my heart rate steady and breathing even so that whoever is there doesn't realize I'm awake yet.I try to see if I can find out who it is by their scent without drawing attention to me.I gently breath in through my nose and get the scent of the person in the room with me.I get the scent of sandlewood and linen. Why is Skyler in my room? I keep laying there hoping he might say something so I can figure out why his here."Serenity, if you can hear me I just want to let you know that I am so sorry for the way everyone has treated you, myself included, I never wanted to treat you like this but I had no choice. I was told if I didn't I would be treated the same as you. I just
SERENITY'S POV3 MONTHS LATER........The last 3 months have been absolute hell. Sutton has not been lenient in any way, shape or form. Normally he adds extra to my punishment especially if he has had a bad day.I don't know what my backs like and I really don't want to know.The silver cuffs and collar were removed last night so I could start healing.The only reason they want me healed is because on the weekend Statham and Jayce are having a massive party because both of them will be 18. Statham and I turned 18 when I was in a coma. Jayce turns 18 on Friday so Saturday they decided to have a massive coming of age party. Both packs will be in attendance along with the Knightlock pack aswell.That way there is a better chance of them hopefully finding their mates.I honestly feel sorry for anyone mated to any of the Savage Six.I hadn't even thought of the fact I was 18 now since I woke up. I honestly hope my mate isn't in any of the 3 packs in this area as I know they will either rej
SERENITY'S POV After Jayce rejected me, everyone started laughing, but no one was laughing more than I was. When people start to realise that I am laughing aswell they all quiet down and start looking at me like I'm a freak or something.April was standing next to Jayce, looking smug as if she just won the lottery or something. She's about to find out that I honestly didn't want him as my mate. "Thankyou Jayce for finally pushing me over my fucking breaking point, everyone one of you fuckers will wish that you never pushed me this far.I have a few things to say before I accept your rejection.First: I am so fucking sick of the way this pack has treated me. I haven't done anything to deserve this treatment. All I'm guilty of is being born first and being born a female. I don't understand what I ever did to deserve this treatment. But I have fucking had enough.Second: I never wanted to have a mate in any of the 3 packs here tonight. I especially didn't want you as my mate, April your
SERENITY'S POVI turn away from the packs borders and head into neutral territory. I honestly have no clue where I'm going to go, so I will just let my instincts lead the way.I head towards the city that is about a 3 hour drive from my old pack.It'll take me about 6 hours walking or if I shift it will take me 2 hours roughly as Artemis is extremely fast.I decide to shift and head to the city and find somewhere to stay for a few days while I decide what I'm going to do next.I'm not sure what's best yet but I'm weary about staying close to my old pack. I wouldn't put it past them to come looking for me.When I'm just outside the city of Avondale I shift back and get dressed.Avondale is a supernatural town. It has mostly witches, vampires, other shifters that aren't wolves and the occasional rogue. I know I can hide here for a few days before moving on as no one from my pack every steps foot in the city. They try to avoid it all costs.As I'm walking through the city looking for a pl
SERENITY'S POV The bear shifters are quite for roughly 5 mintues, they had so many emotions playing across their faces anger, fury, concern, pity, sympathy and many more. Finally one of them speaks."I am disgusted in that pack for their treatment of you. I honestly did not expect you to say that's why you were running away from the pack. No cub or I should say pup in your case, should be treated that horribly. It makes me want to rip them apart. Your mate sounds like an asshole so I think you dodged a bullet there. We followed you because normally rogues cause alot of issues in town when they come here. That's why rogues aren't very welcome in Avondale, so we thought we would get you first before you caused unwarranted chaos. We are going to walk you the rest of the way so you can get there safely." Zack says."Thankyou, but you really don't have to do that, I will be fine. It's only 10 minutes to the station." I reply."We aren't taking no for an answer. You don't know if anyone is
Hello All. I am ending the book here and starting a second book to continue on with the story. How I want the story to go would make the book really long, and I would prefer to split the book into two books. I would like to apologize for the delay regarding uploading chapters. I have had to take a step back from writing and focus on my mental health and the new health issues that have arisen. My PTSD has been terrible lately, so I have been dealing with this and having more appointments with my psychologist. My job has also been trying to push me back to work, which hasn't been helping me either. I have appointments with a return to work specialist coming up even though my doctor has said I won't be returning to work anytime soon. They don't care about that. My goal is to have the next book up on here by October at the latest. I will write about 10 chapters before i upload the next book. I would sincerely like to apologize again for the delay and hope you understand that I needed
SERENITY'S POV "Hello, Serenity. Long time since I last saw you. I was wondering when you would finally make your way here from wherever it was you were hiding." He said with a mocking laugh. I'm trying hard to fight Artemis so she doesn't lose control and kills the asshole in front of me. My mates are growling at him for how he is talking to me, and they are becoming more protective now that a threat to me has been identified. "Artemis CALM DOWN! Now is not the time to kill him. We will have our chance when the time is right. For now, I need you to let me handle this." I told my wolf. Reluctantly, Artemis agrees to calm down, but that doesn't stop me from feeling her anger and hatred. My mates are getting angry as they don't know what is going on and how the head of the werewolf council knows me. If I had known this asshole was still alive, I would have hunted him down a long time ago. Ares is the first to snap. "What the hell is going on here?" Ares growls, holding me prote
SERENITY’S POV“I think it’s time we went to your council. We are going to need all the help we can get,” Sebastian says.“Council?” I asked. Having never been really taught much about packs, I didn’t even know that there was a council. I didn’t know there were many other packs outside the Deadly Nightshade, Knightlock, and Blackmist packs. Everyone looks at me with confusion on their faces. As I am about to explain to them why I don’t understand what they mean, Skyler answers for me.“Serenity doesn’t know who the Council are as Mom and Dad told the pack and our grandparents that she could not gain any knowledge of who they are and that no one could go to the council about the abuse. Dad was worried that if the council found out about the abuse, he would lose the pack. I also think he didn’t want them to know who Serenity was. If the council found out about the first female Nightshade being born in generations, they would work out what that meant.” Skyler explains.My mates growl wh
STRYKER'S POVWatching Serenity faint made me feel something I'd never felt before, and I was not quite sure what the emotion was. The two alphas standing next to her catch her before she hits the ground. One of them picks her up and carries her bridal style out of the office, and I assume they go to either her room or the pack hospital. The other twin follows his brother out, and I'm left with Alpha Brennon, Beta Kane, Gamma Blake, and his mate and my little brother Skyler."Sorry about all of that. Serenity has been through a lot of things, and she can get overwhelmed easily. She also just found her mates not that long ago. They only mated recently." Alpha Brennon says"It's OK, Alpha. If you don't mind me asking, does that happen a lot to her?" I asked."It's happened a bit since she has come here to Moonstone Sky. Do you know anything about the Nightshade line prophecy or your sister's life with your family?" Brennon asks."Unfortunately, I do. As I explained, I had gone to Deadly
SERENITY'S POV"Did you just say that Sebastian is coming here? And the rogue king? I know I spoke to Sebastian a few days ago, but I didn't think that he would be here so soon. Also, isn't the rogue king a sadistic asshole? Why would he want to come here?" I asked Brennon while we walked back to the packhouse."Yes Serenity, that's exactly what I said. Sebastian said he has been hoping to meet you. He doesn't want to side with your ex-pack, as when he went there, he didn't like them or how they spoke of you. He is also hoping you would be willing to let him train you as well? Which I honestly think would be a good idea. But I suggest talking it over with your mates, and seeing what you think. The choice will always be yours. Now to the rogue king. I am as surprised as you are. The old rogue king was definitely everything that you described. It wasn't him that called, it turns out that Bane died just over a year ago. His son is the one who took over after him. He is nothing like his f
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER WILL HAVE SEXUAL CONTENT. IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE READING THIS, PLEASE SKIP CHAPTER OR GO DOWN TO ARES POV AS THERE WILL BE NO SEXUAL SCENES IN HIS POV. SERENITY’S POV After asking Aryan and Ares if I could stay with them tonight, Aryan had picked me up and ran so fast to the packhouse that I couldn’t help but laugh. Once we are back in their room, Aryan puts me on the bed and steps back next to Ares. They both look at me like they are ready to devour me. Ares is first to move towards me, kneeling on the bed as he moves towards me. He grabs my chin and makes me kiss him. The kiss is hard and punishing, but also full of want, need, desire, and love. He pushes me back till I am lying on the bed, never breaking the kiss. I feel my back hit the mattress, I’m just as lost in the kiss as Ares is. I dig my nails into his shoulders as he starts slowly rubbing his still fully clothed cock up and down my pussy. The pressure of what he is doing and the pleasure it gives
UNKNOWN POV I’ve sent a group of my best scouts to watch the Moonstone Sky Pack. I want to see what their patrols and security are like. I’m not sure what was going on with me, but I kept feeling like I needed to search the area. Like something was pulling me there. Having grown up with rogues since I was 3 years old, I ended up hating packs with a passion. Remembering how my own father handed me over to the old Rogue King because he killed Bane's son in the attack against my father's pack. So, in return for his life being spared, my father decided to hand me over to Bane as a goodwill gesture. My father staged me getting poisoned so that he could give me to Bane and ensure that no one would look for me after I was gone. He told everyone that I was dead. I know that my father passed away not long ago, as I felt the familiar that was attached to him snap, signaling that he had passed away. I'm not sure what happened to him but all I can say is good fucking riddance to the good for noth
STATHAM’S POVWhat the fuck is going on? Since dad died a few weeks ago, everything has started to fall apart. Sutton has become more unhinged than normal. He killed Stacey, then he killed his mate MacKenna. He then agreed to join the witch and the kitsune in this fucked up situation. Sutton turned 18 a month ago and when he found MacKenna, I thought she might be able to help him calm down, but she seemed to make him worse. She seemed like a nice person, but she seemed to amplify his hatred.Last night, Sutton challenged me for the Alpha position. I ended up conceding about half an hour into the fight as he would have killed me otherwise. He has no remorse anymore, he hasn’t for a long time now. He takes pleasure in inflicting pain on others. As I was walking to the training field I came across Jayce. He looks extremely angry.“Hey Jayce, is everything OK?” I asked him.“No it's not. Serenity’s wolf is a fucking bitch. I decided I was going to go for a run and blow off some steam as I
ARES POVLooking at our beautiful mate, lying in the hospital, worrying about everyone else before herself. When she spiraled out of control with guilt for all the lives lost due to her, it broke my heart to think that someone who is only 18 has the weight of the world on her shoulders and that she has endured so much already. Watching her break because she blamed herself for her brother’s death even though she was never at fault, it had Loki wanting to go rip her family apart for what they have done.I’m currently hugging Serenity while she is telling us everything. When she mentions we need to start finding allies, I fully agree with her. But first I have to ring my father about our Gamma Josh. He took over when our Gamma Phoenix found his mate in another pack, as she was the alpha’s only child, he went and joined her pack and took over as Alpha. He has been an amazing Alpha for the Night shadow pack. I’m going to tell father to appoint our younger brother Samael as our gamma. I hav
