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

    I woke up with electrifying tingles covering my body and Tay's mouth-watering spearmint scent surrounding me. Rolling over and facing him, placing tiny kisses on his lips. A hum of satisfaction left his mouth. Untangling from his embrace, the sun shines brightly in my bedroom.Wait, when did I get home?My body was extremely sore, and my head was pounding. I felt around and felt gauze wrapped around my head. I must've banged my head harder than I realized. “You have a concussion and staples in your head, hot stuff.” Tay stopped me from removing the bandages. Leaning down and kissing him, our lips meet in desperation and a need for reassurance. Our tongues clash with each other, seeking dominance. We broke apart, panting and breathless, the intensity of the moment lingering between us."What happened?" I asked, my head still pounding away like a beating drum. Tay's demeanor changed. He steadied his breathing, searching for the right words to say, "Slasher Pack attacked my pack, and y

    I sat at the table, twiddling my thumbs, watching the clock tick away. After five minutes went by and Luna Ashley still hadn't returned, I gathered our belongings and headed towards the restroom.On the way there, I spotted Luna Ashley chatting with an old woman and Headmistress Toya. The way they were speaking suggested they had known each other for a long time. The sight of them together piqued my curiosity.I arrived just in time to overhear the old woman saying, “They already know about Serenity and Javonte. The coven will seek Javonte out when he needs them the most. Serenity is special. Take good care of your daughter-in-law. She is fragile but a great leader.”I cleared my throat, linking my arm with Luna Ashley and greeting the ladies at the table. Was this the same woman who saved me, and is she a hybrid? How does she know Luna Ashley?Before I finished analyzing my thoughts, Luna Ashley formally introduced us: “This is Kyle's mother, Gemma, also the former headmistress of th

    Javonte We strolled inside the steakhouse. I had reserved the conference room for the meeting. Checking the audio and video surveillance setup in the room, I ensured everything was ready before ordering a variety of appetizers. The room was dimly lit, with a large oak table at its center and plush chairs surrounding it. The smell of grilled steak and fresh bread wafted through the air, mingling with the scent of anticipation. The food arrived, followed shortly by Alpha Debbie and her security team. The moment she stepped across the threshold, the atmosphere turned intense, charged with a distinctive electricity. Alpha Debbie’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when she saw Serenity sitting next to me, her presence a deliberate provocation. “Welcome, Alpha Debbie.” I stood up from my seat with my hand held out, maintaining a facade of politeness. She shook my hand and smiled back. “My pleasure, Alpha Javonte. I didn’t expect you to bring your plaything to the meeting with

    Amethyst The forest was alive tonight. Shadows danced between the ancient trees, their branches twisting like skeletal fingers against the silver light of the full moon. I stood in the center of the clearing, the air thick with a strange, electric hum that made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. I was fourteen now, no longer the toddling child who clung to my mother’s skirts or hid behind my father’s broad shoulders. Meadowood had been my playground, my sanctuary. But tonight, it felt foreign, as if the land itself was holding its breath. The bracelet on my wrist pulsed faintly, its soft golden glow. A comforting presence. It had been with me for as long as I could remember, a constant companion, a silent protector. My parents had told me stories about it, about the danger it once represented, but it was hard to believe something so beautiful could be tied to darkness. I had always known this day would come. From the moment I could understand the hushed whispers b

    Serenity The golden hues of the setting sun bathed Meadowood in warmth, casting long, dappled shadows over the rolling hills. I leaned back against the tree trunk, cradling Amethyst while she rested her head on my shoulder, her soft curl tickling my chin. Her tiny hand played absently with the bracelet on her wrist, the soft light emanating from it reflecting in her curious eyes. Peace. I let out a slow breath, savoring the rare moment. Peace was a luxury I hadn’t thought we’d ever know again. Months had passed since the dark magic had been lifted, since the figurine had been destroyed, and since Jordyn and Headmistress Toya’s unrelenting efforts had freed our daughter from whatever sinister force had marked her. It felt surreal to exist without the ever-present weight of danger looming over us. I glanced over at Tay, who was sitting cross-legged on the blanket nearby, carefully stacking wooden blocks with Amethyst. He had resisted the peace at first, his wolf constantly on edge

    JavonteI leaned back against the oak tree at the edge of Meadowood territory, the sun dipping low in the sky and painting the landscape in hues of orange and gold. It had been a year since the last shadow lingered near our home, and months since the chaos surrounding Amethyst began to fade into distant memory. For the first time in what felt like forever, peace had settled over Meadowood, soft and unassuming, like a gentle spring rain after a brutal storm.I closed my eyes, inhaling the crisp air, the scent of pine and earth grounding me. It felt strange and this peace. For so long, I had been caught in a whirlwind of anger, fear, and frustration, driven by the need to protect my family from forces I barely understood. Yet here I was, standing in the calm after the storm, unsure of what to do with myself now that there was nothing to fight.The sound of laughter reached my ears, pulling me from my thoughts. Serenity’s voice floated through the air, light and melodic while she chased

    Javonte I leaned against the doorframe of the nursery, my arms crossed while I watched Serenity rock Amethyst in her arms. The soft glow of the enchanted bracelet on Amethyst’s tiny wrist cast faint shadows across the room. Serenity looked so peaceful, but I could see the tension in her shoulders, the weight of every unspoken fear etched into her face. The sight of my daughter—so small, so perfect—brought an ache to my chest. She was everything I never knew I needed, a piece of me and Serenity wrapped up in one tiny, miraculous soul. But that damn bracelet glimmered on her wrist like a taunt, a constant reminder that something was coming for her. I clenched my fists. Something or someone. “Serenity,” I said, my voice low but firm. She glanced up at me, her eyes filled with that unwavering love she always had when looking at Amethyst. But I wasn’t in the mood for soft moments. “We need to talk.” Her brows furrowed slightly, but she nodded, carefully setting Amethyst down in her c

    Serenity The hospital room was quiet except for the soft hum of the monitor and the faint cries of newborns down the hall. The sterile scent of antiseptic mixed with the faint sweetness of tulips, a gift from Jordyn, who had enchanted the bouquet to ward off negative energy. Amethyst Aurora Lemon lay swaddled in my arms, her tiny features peaceful as she slept. She had a shock of dark hair and the most delicate fingers, already clutching onto my heart with a grip stronger than I ever imagined possible. Tay stood by my side, his eyes never leaving her face. He looked exhausted but awestruck, as though he couldn’t believe this tiny miracle was ours. “She’s perfect,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion. I smiled, feeling a rare moment of peace despite the shadows that had been haunting us. For now, everything felt right. But peace never lasted long. A cold breeze swept through the room, extinguishing the soft glow of the enchanted tulips. Tay stiffened immediately, his

    Serenity The tension in the house felt like a living thing—coiled, suffocating. Tay had been restless since I returned from Embermoon, and I couldn’t blame him. The bracelet and figurine still sat in the vault, their presence like a thorn under my skin, but it was the lingering unease in my chest that haunted me the most. And now, Tay was pulling away. He tried to hide it, but I could feel the shift. His wolf, Jasper, prowled closer to the surface, radiating protectiveness and fear. I knew he wanted to tear the world apart just to keep me and our daughter safe. But this wasn’t something he could fight with claws and fangs, and that terrified him. I sat on the couch, my hands cradling my swollen belly, trying

    Unknown Person The lavish hotel suite was draped in silk and velvet, its dim lighting casting shadows across the ornate furnishings. The faint crackle of the fireplace filled the room as the man leaned back in his leather chair, cradling the newborn in his arms. The baby stirred slightly but didn’t cry, his tiny hands curling into fists as if already prepared to fight the battles that awaited him. The man’s sharp, angular features softened as he gazed down at his son. “He will be strong,” he murmured, brushing a finger along the baby’s smooth cheek. The woman, poised and regal, watched from the chaise lounge with a calculating expression. Her emerald eyes gleamed as she sipped from a glass of crimson wine. “He will be more than strong,” she said, her voice smooth as silk. “He will be unstoppable.” A knock at the door interrupted them.

    Javonte The desk was a mess; papers scattered, the lamp shattered on the floor, but I couldn’t care less. My chest was still heaving, my pulse thundering in my ears while I gripped the phone, staring at the blank screen like it might suddenly come to life. Voicemail. Again. I squeezed the phone so hard my fingers ached, Jasper growling just beneath my skin, restless and ready to fight whatever threat had put Serenity in this state. Her fear had slammed into me so suddenly, so violently, that it had ripped through every wall I’d built to keep my wolf in check. I’d felt her rage first, sharp, and burning. And then the fear had swallowed it whole. A helpless kind of fear. The kind that made my stomach drop and my vision bleed red. I pressed my palm against my chest, where the bond between us pulled tight, throbbing like an open woun

    Serenity Of course, we weren’t ready. How could we be? I was nearly due to give birth, my body heavy and slow with the life growing inside me. Magic was out of the question—my reserves drained, my focus scattered. And fighting? That wasn’t even an option. The dirt from the last battle was barely settling, and here we were again, staring down the barrel of yet another unknown threat. Tay’s doubts about the witches stung more than I wanted to admit. How could he even entertain the idea that they were a danger to us? They had been nothing but loyal, their magic instrumental in rebuilding Meadowood and protecting our borders. And beyond their contributions, their presence had brought us closer as a pack. Wolves who once distrusted magic now found their mates among the witches. We were stronger together, weren’t we? The tension between Tay and me lingered in my chest like a weight I couldn’t shake. I needed clarity and answers that would hopefully put his fears to rest. If Elder Ton
