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

    Serenity The first snow of the winter, a thin layer blanketing the ground, I sat on the couch wrapped in a blanket, drinking hot cocoa, and flipping through catalogs. Tay had gone home to prepare for our winter wonderland inauguration, slash wedding. After a six-month standstill with no new leads or thoughts on what to do about the prophecy, Alpha Louis thought it was best to make Tay and myself the official leaders of Meadowood. The pressure of leadership loomed over me, but today, the excitement of the upcoming wedding was all I could dwell on. As I sipped my cocoa, a knock on the door stopped me in the midst of searching for the perfect gown. My friends, Jordyn and Camila, burst in, their cheeks pink from the cold and their eyes sparkling with excitement. "We're here to help you find the perfect dress!" Camila announced, holding up a stack of bridal magazines. Jordyn grinned and handed me a steaming cup of tea. "We’ve got appointments at a few boutiques in town. It's going

    Serenity The cold winter air nipped at my cheeks as I stepped out of the cab, pulling my coat tighter around me. Snowflakes danced under the streetlights, settling softly on my hair. I glanced up at the neon sign of the Dark World nightclub, where our combined bachelorette and bachelor party were being held. The idea was unconventional, but Tay and I had always done things our way. I pushed through the doors into the warm, thrilling atmosphere of the nightclub. The thumping bass synchronized through my chest as I navigated the crowded room, scanning for familiar faces. Just ahead, I spotted a cluster of our friends, already in full swing. Camila waved excitedly, her sparkly dress shimmering under the lights. I weaved through the crowd to the VIP section, shedding my coat and letting the warmth of the room envelop me. Camila threw her arms around me, her infectious energy pulling me into the party spirit. "Where's Tay?" I asked, glancing around. "He's at the bar with the guys," sh

    JavonteIn a quiet corner of the venue, out of earshot of wolf-hearing, "Before you be prejudiced, Alpha Debbie is up to no good. I have an audio recording of her threat against my mate; she is also the one who launched the attack on my pack." I handed over the evidence to Elder Tony.Elder Tony scanned over the document, and his once arrogant attitude disappeared. "I see it might be useful to question Alpha Debbie’s intentions."I had doubts that she was the mastermind behind exposing Serenity. Could this be a trap to expose Serenity to the hunters?Elder Tony stood in front of Alpha Debbie and delivered two sharp backhands. In disbelief, the room fell silent. "How dare you ruin their joyous occasion for your enjoyment? Give me the true reason for your objection." His authoritative command washed over her.Alpha Debbie stood still, gripping the sides of her dress, sweating profusely, and fighting off Elder Tony's command. The l

    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

    Serenity The fire began to burn lower, and packs and covens mingled in ways they never had before. Hybrids sat side by side with witches, sharing stories and laughter. Werewolves demonstrated their strength and agility, impressing young witches who countered with displays of magic. Humans, no longer on the fringes, found their place in the circle, welcomed as allies. Elder Tony, who had stayed quiet after his earlier toast, rose from his seat once more. The crowd hushed almost instantly, turning their attention to the elder, whose wisdom they had long respected. “I have seen countless eras,” he began, his voice steady and filled with emotion. “I have seen alliances crumble and trust shattered by fear and hatred. Tonight, I have seen something I never thought possible: true unity. You have all proven that we are stronger together than apart. This isn’t just a new beginning—it’s a new way of life.”He gestured toward Tay and me. “Leaders like these are rare. They didn’t just lead

    Javonte The battlefield was eerily quiet now, the echoes of battle cries and snarls replaced by the groans of the wounded and the sounds of movement as survivors picked through the wreckage of war. The low murmurs of survivors tending to each other. The acrid stench of blood and smoke still hung heavy in the air, but it felt different—less oppressive. The ground was littered with remnants of a battle that felt like it had lasted an eternity. The war was over. It felt like the weight of centuries was lifting. My fur was matted with blood—some mine, most not. Shifting back to my human form, I grimaced when the dull ache in my ribs reminded me of the toll this war had taken. I leaned against a half-broken tree, taking in the sight around me. The hybrids worked tirelessly, their heightened strength allowing them to move the heaviest bodies and debris with ease. Their human forms blend seamlessly with their wolf instincts. Jordyn directed a group of witches while they chanted healin

    Serenity "Fuck, it's too many of them." I sneered. Our warriors put up a good fight, but we were outnumbered. A dark chuckle left out of Jeremiah's mouth, blood falling down out of the corners of his mouth. "You may have defeated me; however, my sister is unhinged and wants your very essence to make her invincible." With one last glimpse of my father, blood surrounded his dark gray eyes, and his body temperature decreased. "Goodbye, Father." My claws ripped out his throat, squirting blood all over my face. Pushing his body off of mine and scanning the chaos for Tiffany. I spotted Tiffany closing in on Lillian and Sam from behind. In lightning speed, my palms radiated a massive fireball, launching it in her direction. Catching her off guard when the fireball hit her on impact. Tiffany pushed through the fray, her eyes locked on me, a wicked smile curling her lips. Shifting into her black and brown wolf mid-run, matted fur, and white foam around its mouth. It reminded me of

    Serenity We left Atlantic City in a rush, heading back to Fox Village to prepare for this war. In the past 24 hours, I had a lot to reflect on. My mind is going over every possible outcome, but one thing for certainty is that we could not lose. Lost in my thoughts, the two hour car ride went by in a blur. Inside of Fox Village territory, the Alpha Triplets were already positioned, their faces hardened, their eyes scanning the tree line for any sign of the rogues. Lillian had set up a makeshift medical station in the village’s center, where she was calmly giving orders to the medics and checking supplies, ready to tend to the wounded. Lee was coordinating with the scouts, ensuring every attack point was fortified, while Latrell kept a careful eye on the hidden paths where the women and children waited, protected by several of our strongest fighters. To my surprise, my pack members were helping out where they were needed. The unity of Fox Village and Meadowood members was amazi

    Javonte Serenity narrowed her eyes, catching the tension in my voice. "Javonte, I can sense when you're hiding something. What did that message say?" I sighed, realizing there was no way to keep it from her. "It was a warning, Serenity. Someone wants me to meet them at the ridge before dawn alone." Her eyes widened with worry. "This could be a trap. Whoever’s behind this knows too much about us already. I don't like you going alone." Dr. Rivers stepped forward, her face grave. "If this is truly connected to Jeremiah and Tiffany, we need to consider that whoever contacted you might be planning to lure you into an ambush. But if there’s any chance they have information, it’s worth investigating." I glanced at Serenity, her face set with determination. "I won’t be able to live with myself if you’re put in danger again because of me," I said softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "But we have to take this chance. If they know something, we might be able to finally get ahea

    Javonte          "I'm still not seeing. What does this have to do with Serenity if she is already  21?" I blurted out.         "Alpha, are you positive that she is 21?" Headmistress Toya spoke for the first time since Dr. Rivers started explaining the sacred wolf.          "I'm 100 percent positive. Serenity came back into my life on her 21st birthday. She was partying at the Dark World nightclub." I confirm. "That was the only reason why I went out that night."         "See, Alpha, that's where you are wrong. That was the date that the Moon's found Serenity, but it's not her correct birthday. Do you even know her birth name?"         "Of course, I know her name. It's Brianna Williams. The Moon's had her since Embermoon Coven was destroyed. I have heard the stories and assumed her birth

    Serenity I led him into the ensuite, and I gently guided Tay to sit at the vanity, catching his reflection in the mirror—a blend of exhaustion and relief. I rummaged through the drawers until I found a comb and brush, then set to work, carefully loosening his braids and running my fingers through his thick, tangled hair. With each gentle pull, I could feel him relax, the tension easing while I untangled the braids and massaged his scalp, combing away remnants of dirt and debris that clung from their journey. Neither of us spoke. The silence wrapped around us like a comforting blanket, offering a peaceful reprieve from everything that had happened. Despite all that weighed on our minds, this was a moment for just us, a quiet communion in the stillness of the room. A breath of relief flooded from his mouth while I washed his hair. The scent of lavender and spearmint engulfed the walk-in shower. Ta

    Serenity A sudden flash of light made me jump. I spun around, heart pounding, when two figures appeared on the lake’s edge, their silhouettes framed by a silvery-blue glow. When the light faded, I saw Jordyn and Latrell, looking a bit worse but alive. Relief flooded me. “Jordyn! Latrell!” I scrambled to my feet, unable to hide my surprise. “What—how did you find me?” Jordyn’s face softened, and she gave a small, reassuring smile. “It’s a long story, Serenity. But we don’t have much time. There’s something you need to know.” Her voice was steady but urgent, and I could see the strain in her eyes.
