Serenity

I placed the ring in a petri dish in the center of the coffee table at home and sat back on the couch. Jordyn sat in the armchair with a red candle.

“Are you ready, hot stuff?” Tay turned my head to look at him. “I'll be right here, whether it is a good or bad memory. I will be right here.” He placed soft kisses on my lips.

I laid on his lap and gave Jordyn a thumbs-up. She lit the candle and then set the ring on fire. I shut my eyes and inhaled the smoke.

I stood outside Embermoon Coven, The sun was setting over the mountain tops, and hues of red, orange, and yellow cast shadows down the mountain range. The skyline was crystal clear. The sounds of the nighttime creatures graced the air.

A woman was sitting outside the coven entrance, admiring the sunset while nursing her baby. The woman was singing a song to the baby. The song had a catchy tone, one that I will not forget. It was about being powerful.

    Javonte As I traveled along the scenic route to Maryland, Serenity laid her head up against the window, admiring the view. I grasped her hand and pressed a kiss upon her knuckles. I could sense a whirlwind of emotions coursing through our bond: the burden of the prophecy, the lingering memory of her mother, and the anticipation of meeting her father after 21 long years. “Hot stuff; do you want to talk about it? You've been awfully quiet this entire car ride.” Still nothing from her; a simple nod of her head, and she was back, staring out of the window. “Just know I am here to share any burdens with you.” I rubbed her thigh. Just like that, the car was silent once again. I turned on jazz music and continued on our journey. I parked on the boardwalk, waking Serenity up. “Let's go have some fun to ease your mind.” She rubbed her eyes and saw the sandy beach ahead of her. Her eyes gleamed with joy. We s

    Serenity Leaving Atlantic City, I was skeptical about meeting my father. Me, showing up after 21 years and destroying his life with his new family. Then I wonder about what other secrets I will discover or if they will lead me closer to completing the prophecy. Watching the farmland pass by in a blur, Tay's emotions were laced with admiration and worry. If it weren't for him being by my side, I don't know if I would ever consider meeting my father with as much determination as I did. Drifting off during the car ride to New Moon, I reflected on the day's events. Tay surprised me with a spontaneous beach trip, which turned out to be incredibly therapeutic. We let out the toxins and self-doubt with our intense kissing and mind-blowing sex. The sunset we witnessed was even more breathtaking than the one from the mountaintop.Tay woke me when we arrived outside New Moon gated community. The armed warriors inspected the outside of the vehicle. Tay signed us in, and the warrior signaled th

    Serenity As my father walked away, the air thickened with remorse and sympathy, and the Alpha and Luna trailed him into the study. Sounds of yelling and items being tossed around in rage. "Hey, sis, don't worry about him. He regrets not knowing about you.” Beta Brandon hugged me. “How old are you?”“I'm 21. What about you? Do we have any siblings?”“Nope, just us. I'm 19. Let me go check on him. I'll see you around.” He disappeared into the room, leaving me and Tay standing in the living room.My gaze was fixated on the door; hush murmurs were heard, and then they died out. Tay rubbed on my shoulders, relieving the tension. “Hot stuff; let's get some rest; give him time to adjust. This is hard for him.”He guided me through the packhouse until we reached the room Charlie had set up for us. Did I do the right thing? I questioned myself. His final reaction was not what I was expecting. I didn't want my father to blame h

    Javonte The side of my neck was on fire. The last time this happened, Serenity was in danger. I tried mind-linking her, but there was no response, and then I saw Beta Jeremiah jogging out of the forest alone. “Where is she?” I yelled. “Seeking revenge,” he laughed, and I punched in his jaw. He spit blood and teeth on the ground, and his wolf came to the forefront, tackling me to the ground. We traded blows, getting the upper hand and letting Jasper join the fun. My punches were stronger, breaking his jaw like I promised; raining punches to his face, the crunch of his nose breaking, and knocking him out satisfied me. I retrieved my phone and said, “Are you guys home? A pissed-off Serenity is cutting through the forest near your cabin.”I hung up immediately, calling Alpha Trevor, “My fiery mate is going to breach your territory; I don't know what her motive is; please just use non-lethal force.” Alpha

    Serenity I messed up big time listening to my father, a man who hasn't been a part of my life for 21 years. How could I be so stupid?When those bullets hit me, I knew I would never see Tay again and apologize for my stupidity. Who was going to bridge the gap between the supernatural beings? I failed both missions assigned to me.I floated in the dark realms for what seemed like hours, with no lights, no voices, just total silence. After floating around for so long, a bright white light appeared, and this comforting sensation settled around me. I felt her presence before I saw Selene. Not letting a word of disappointment come from her, I crawled to her and held the hem of her silky-smooth dress in my hands, snot running out of my nose, blurry vision, and a hoarse voice.“Please send me back; I am begging you, Moon Goddess. Tay needs to know that I'm sorry. He didn't deserve this.” Selene kneeled down and cleaned my face with a handkerchief.“It's too late, Serenity. He's already he

    Serenity After weeks of physical therapy, I was released from the hospital. I had mobility back in my legs, and my wounds were healed. We arrived outside of Embermoon Steakhouse, and I was ecstatic. The restaurant was how I remembered it. The aroma of sizzling steaks and fresh herbs filled the air. Tay led me to the conference room, and at the table sat my closest friends, including Jordyn. I haven't seen or heard from Jordyn since I left for New Moon. A welcome home banner hung on the wall, and a gift basket was on the table.Jordyn and Camila rushed from their seats into my arms, forcing me to lose my balance. I stumbled over my feet, falling into Tay's chest. A low growl erupted, and Tay snapped, "Careful, you two. She's still recovering.” They retreated, giving me a second to find my bearings. “I'm fine, Tay. It was an accident.” “Smurf, I'm glad you are doing better. I missed the hell out of you.” Corey hugged and kissed me. Lukas just smiled and waved. He was the quiet on

    Javonte Jasper sensed danger in the crisp night air, and following his instincts, he bolted towards the mumbled screaming. The urgency in his stride mirrors the adrenaline coursing through my veins. We made it to the deepest part of the territory. The frightening screams, watching the chaos unfold right in front of me. I spotted a lone wolf; it wasn't a rogue, but a pack wolf. Another pack was brave enough to challenge my father's authority as Alpha. We circled each other, growling and snarling. Despite my warning, the lone wolf didn't retreat at my threatened tone or dominance. The wolf lunged forward, sidestepping his attack, and with a swift motion, I sliced down its chest. A whimper of pain left his mouth. Ripping him backward by his hind legs as he tries to escape. He reverted to his human form, his hands raised and surrendering. “WHAT PACK ARE YOU FROM?” I demanded, my voice laced with authority. Through the coughs of blood, he managed to utter, “Slasher Pack.” With

    Javonte But what I wasn't expecting was to hear another voice, "Your family member was in an accident. Come with a doctor and no one else." The female voice on the other end seemed caring. However, I was a little skeptical about why she wanted me to come alone. I quickly jotted down notes and requested a pack doctor to journey with me to this unknown address. We arrived outside a rustic cottage deep in the forest; nestled among tall, whispering pines. The scene was almost surreal, like stepping into a different era. An older woman was sitting on the porch swing, seemingly anticipating our arrival. She stood up and, without a word, opened the door and ushered us in. The atmosphere inside the cottage was warm but carried an air of mystery. "Doctor, the young lady is in the last room on the left." The doctor glanced at me briefly before walking away. "Thank you, Ma'am, for taking care of my fiancée. Here's some money for the trouble we caused." I produced a check for ten thousand d

    Javonte The bracelet felt heavier in my pocket than it should have, its strange energy prickling against my skin even through the fabric. The obsidian-eyed wolf figurine was tucked in the same pocket, its edges smooth and cold. I didn’t understand why, but both objects unsettled me in a way I couldn’t shake. After breakfast, I made my way to River Valley Pack to visit Elder Tony. He was wise beyond his years, a repository of wolf history. If anyone could decipher the meaning behind these objects, it was him. The morning air was crisp, and the packhouse buzzed with activity as wolves went about their daily routines. The drive there was uneventful, just a blur of trees. I had the music on jazz to keep my mind focused on the road ahead. But as I reached River Valley, the unease in my chest grew stronger. Something wasn’t right, and I couldn’t ignore it. When I arrived, I knocked once before entering. Elder Tony looked up from a leather-bound book at his office desk, his sharp gray e

    Serenity I let exhaustion claim me, and I drift off to sleep, basking in the electrifying tingles of Tay's proctection. I feel this a soft, warm presence in my mind. A tiny, childlike voice whispers, “I’ll protect you, Mama. But they’re coming for us.”I jolts awake, realizing my unborn daughter was warning me. The next morning, we hosted a memorial celebration. The air was thick with the bittersweet scent of incense and wildflowers, a mixture that carried a weight of remembrance and hope. I stood beside Tay in the graveyard, my hand resting protectively over my growing bump while we faced the pack. Meadowood was finally whole again. A sanctuary rebuilt from ashes, with stronger borders and an unyielding sense of unity. Today's memorial celebration wasn’t just for those we lost; it was a declaration that we had survived and would honor their sacrifices.The statue, carved from shimmering white stone, stood tall in the center of the graveyard. It depicted a wolf howling at the moon,

    Serenity I opened my eyes, meeting his gaze while we stood in the ultrasound room. Tay was watching me, his eyes full of love and something else. Something I couldn’t put a name to. I wasn’t sure what had changed in him these past few weeks, but I knew he was waiting for me to open up, to let him in. And in this moment, I finally felt ready to do that. “I’ve been a terrible partner,” I began softly, my voice barely a whisper, as if the words might break me if I said them too loudly. “I’ve been shutting you out when all you’ve ever done is try to help me.” My breath hitched, and I looked down at the ultrasound printout in my hands, clutching it like a lifeline. The tears that had been threatening to spill finally broke free, spilling down my cheeks. I hadn’t realized how much I had been holding back until now.The sound of the heartbeat echoed in my mind long after we left the clinic. It was like a lifeline tethering me back to reality, pulling me from the dark place I’d been trap

    Javonte The night we returned to Meadowood felt heavy, the air thick with unspoken grief and unanswered questions. Serenity had barely said a word since we’d left the grove, and when we arrived, she bolted towards our tent without looking back. Through our bond, I felt the raw edge of her heartbreak, her longing to feel our daughter’s warmth again. Her emotions surged through me like a tidal wave—her pain, her exhaustion, and the weight of the destiny she had never asked for. It was unbearable, and all I wanted to do was take it away from her. But I knew better than to chase after her right now. Serenity needed space to process everything. She always had. So, instead of following, I stayed behind to handle the responsibilities she couldn’t bear at the moment. The pack had gathered near the bonfire to continue the celebration—or what was left of it. The mood had shifted dramatically since our abrupt disappearance earlier that evening. I forced a smile, my mind racing for the ri

    Serenity The hum of power in the air was overwhelming, pressing against my skin as if the grove itself were alive. I stood frozen, barely able to process what had just happened. One moment, I was celebrating my birthday in the arms of my mate, surrounded by our pack. The next, we were here—in this sacred, otherworldly place—face to face with legends. The Moon Goddess Selene stood before us, radiating an aura of calm authority. Her silver hair flowed like a river down her back, and her luminous eyes seemed to see straight into my soul. The Graeae Sisters flanked her, their forms shimmering like water caught in moonlight. Despite their ethereal presence, their expressions were warm, almost amused. And then there was Sam. My breath hitched at the sight of her. She wasn’t the Sam I knew—my loyal, albeit overprotective, wolf companion. Her silver coat glistened as if she had spun from starlight, and her dark gray eyes held an ancient wisdom that made my chest tighten. There was a reg

    Javonte The moment Serenity walked out of the tent with her bag slung over her shoulder, I knew she needed this trip. She needed a break, a chance to breathe away from the constant demands of Meadowood. But damn if it didn’t sting to watch her go without me.She threw one last playful glance over her shoulder before climbing into Corey’s truck. I leaned against the frame of the packhouse, arms crossed, watching the truck pulled away and disappeared into the trees. I exhaled slowly, a faint smile tugging at the corner of my lips. If anyone could lift her spirits, it was Camila, Corey, and Lukas. They were her anchors, just as she was mine.The sounds of the truck faded, and an idea began to take root in my mind. Her birthday was the day after tomorrow, but something told me waiting wouldn’t do. This year had already thrown so much at her—the prophecy, rebuilding Meadowood, managing alliances, and the relentless pressure of leadership. She deserved one day that was about her. No stress

    Serenity I woke to the soft warmth of sunlight filtering through the tent. The familiar sounds of Meadowood stirring outside reached my ears—builders hammering, the distant laughter of children, and the soothing cadence of the river flowing nearby. For a moment, I let myself enjoy the peace, curled beneath the thin sheets that still faintly smelled of Tay. But the serenity didn’t last. A sudden wave of nausea hit me like a tidal wave, and I bolted upright, my hand instinctively clutching my stomach. My mouth watered in that awful, familiar way that always came before I was sick. Stumbling out of bed, I barely made it outside the tent before doubling over, retching into the grass. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, leaning on my knees to catch my breath. The nausea subsided as quickly as it had come, leaving me shaky but otherwise fine. “Stress,” I muttered under my breath. “It’s just stress.” It made sense. The last few weeks had been a whirlwind of planning, rebuild

    Javonte The night air was cool. I stood at the edge of Meadowood’s new heart, the fire pit casting warm shadows across the freshly laid foundations. I couldn’t help but let my gaze fall on Serenity. She was standing near a group of witches, her hands moving expressively while she discussed the next day’s plans. Her voice was steady, commanding, but kind—always kind. She had a way of making everyone feel heard, valued, and united. I couldn’t look away. Watching her bridge the gap between packs, covens, and humans with such grace left me in awe. She was the perfect Luna; not just for me but for everyone who followed her. She carried the weight of leadership effortlessly, even when it pressed on her shoulders. She laughed softly at something one of the witches said. I found myself pulled into a memory of the first time I saw her years ago. It was a humid summer day on the college campus—the kind of day where the sun clung stubbornly to your skin. I was heading to the library

    Serenity  The morning light filtered through the curtains. I woke with a smile, my body humming with energy I hadn’t felt in days. The ache in my limbs was gone, the nausea a distant memory. For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt whole. I sat up in bed, blinking and inhaling the crisp morning air. Tay was still asleep beside me, one arm draped protectively across my waist. I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of him—my rock, my peace, my partner.  Slipping out from under his arm, carefully not to disturb him. He needed just as much rest as possible. I stretched, rotated my bones, and marveled at how light my body felt. The events of the past few days had been a whirlwind, but now, for the first time, I could focus on what came next. Meadowood. The name alone brought a surge of bittersweet memories. It had been our home, our sanctuary, and it had been torn apart. But it
