Serenity

It's been a month since Tay and I became leaders of Meadowood. We had officially moved into the packhouse, and his mom and dad settled into our previous cozy cabin. Jordyn and Dan became a proper couple now that Elder Tony was accepting of mixing species, with stipulations, of course. It was still on a hush-hush basis, which was fine with us.

Luna Ashley was training me on the responsibilities of the pack. I'm not going to lie; this was the biggest challenge I ever had to face. From the way I dressed, remembering every pack member by name, holding monthly meetings with surrounding Lunas, and managing my image to avoid creating enemies—it was a lot to handle.

It was time for my first meeting with all the Lunas, and Luna Ashley's last meeting. It was more or less a farewell party. I had on a red cocktail dress; my braids were pulled back in a ponytail; Luna Ashley wore this royal blue off-the-shoulder dress; and her elegant figure highlighted the style.

    Javonte Today was my last official day as the Alpha's son. I had spent my entire life preparing for this role, and now it was my turn to reign over Meadowood.The five pack leaders were coming together at Lux Country Club to celebrate my father's accomplishments and to initiate my Beta, Gamma, and Zeta into the ranks if I chose to change them. I had been thinking long and hard about who to choose without hurting anyone's feelings. My options were limited.Inside one of the meeting rooms, I was sitting at the head of the oak conference table, conducting my first orders as Alpha.I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. My stomach churned all morning as I reviewed the meeting agenda. Now, with the time upon me, my mouth was dry, the room felt hot, and breathing became harder."Alpha Javonte Lemon, pull yourself together. You know the assignment. You’ve memorized those papers for two days. Take a deep breath and begin," my father mind-linked, giving me a stern, threatening stare.I

    Javonte I sat in our room, the events of the day replaying in my mind. I watched Serenity rest, knowing the peace we had was fleeting. I had to tell her what had just transpired in the basement.“Serenity,” I whispered, gently rubbing the loose braids from her face. Her eyes fluttered open, and she smiled softly before noticing the serious expression I wore.“Hot stuff, you’re awake." Relief flooded me, the effect of the drug wearing off her.“What’s wrong, Tay?” she asked as she tried to sit up, but her movements were still discombobulated.I took a deep breath, steadying myself. “There’s something important I need to tell you. After everything that happened tonight, something else came to light. Alpha Debbie… she’s gone. We’ve taken care of her. She won’t be causing any more trouble.”Serenity nodded, and then her eyes widened in shock. “Gone? What do you mean?”“She was interrogated by Camila,” I began, choosing my words carefully.“Thank you, Tay. I don’t know what I would do wit

    Serenity My head throbbed, and my limbs felt like lead. The last thing I remembered was being dragged from the car and a sharp pain in my neck. Now, I was lying on a cold, hard floor in an unfamiliar room, dimly lit by a single bulb hanging from the ceiling. Panic surged through me, bracing myself against the wall to sit. Nausea and dizziness washed over me as I sat straight up, whatever drug they had injected me with still flowing within me.I forced myself to take deep breaths and closed my eyes, trying to calm the racing of my heart. Tay… Where was Tay? I had to find a way out and get back to him. I scanned the room, looking for anything that might help me escape. The walls were bare, and the windows were boarded up. There was a single door, but it was locked from the outside.Footsteps approached, and I quickly lay back down, pretending to be unconscious. The door creaked open, and I heard muffled voices.“She’s still out,” a gruff voice said. “Good. Elder Jalen wants her alive,

    SerenityOne night, I was lying on the cold metal table, my body wracked with pain, when the door burst open. Through my bleary vision, I saw a group of figures storm into the room, led by Tay. His eyes blazed with fury as he took in the sight of me, strapped down and surrounded by instruments of torture. Blinking rapidly to realize it was just a dream. The men in lab coats began their work, prodding and injecting me with various substances. Pain radiated through my body, but I gritted my teeth, refusing to give them the satisfaction of hearing me scream.The men sat around, watching and jotting down notes on a clipboard. A wave of dizziness hit me, and the monitors started to go haywire one after another. The technician grabbed my wrist and noticed my wounds were not healing. "Get her some wolf blood and saline solution to rehydrate her. I don't need my lab rat dying before I get the information for Elder Jalen. He called her a hybrid, but she is only a witch. I need to find a way

    Javonte I paced the length of the study, the anger simmering just beneath my skin, causing the mark on my neck to throb and turn an angry red. Jasper, my wolf, had been silent and was slowly weakening with Serenity’s absence and the bond’s strain taking their toll. It had been a month since she had been taken, and despite my relentless search, I had found no sign of her. My pack was just as frustrated; my distress and mood swings were palpable through our link.The room was pitch black except for the moonlight filtering in through the window. I stopped at the desk, gripping its edge, trying to focus. Every day without Serenity felt like an eternity; the bond between us was a constant reminder of her suffering. I knew she was being tortured; the nightmares were proof of that, if nothing else.Earlier tonight, I was jolted awake by another one of those dreams. In it, I had stormed into a room, seeing Serenity strapped to a cold metal table, surrounded by men in lab coats. Her body was

    Javonte Pacing the perimeter of Meadowood, my senses were on high alert. Hiding in the shadow of the forest darkness, the moon hung low in the sky, providing perfect coverage. The emergency alarms quieted down, and the warriors filled in the perimeter. The sounds of rustling leaves and the noise of nighttime animals pierced the air. Blocking my racing thoughts of Serenity, I concentrated on the threat of rabid wolves approaching Meadowood territory. A cool breeze blew in my direction. Halting in my tracks, I caught a faint scent of Serenity's sweet hazelnut scent. Twisting and turning with my nose in the air, I tried to find which direction the wind came from. Another burst of wind hit, and my heart skipped a beat. It was truly Serenity's scent. The scent was faint but unmistakable, cutting through the myriad of forest smells. I inhaled deeply, trying to pinpoint its source. It seemed to be coming from the direction of the border, where the rabid wolves had been spotted. My muscle

    Serenity As the days dragged on, my strength began to wane. The experiments took their toll, and I felt myself slipping. But every time I closed my eyes, I saw Tay’s face and heard his voice. It gave me the strength to endure. “Tay will be here soon,” Elder Jalen said, almost casually. “I’ve made sure of it.” Leaning against the wall, he read the doctor's note. My heart ached with fear for Tay, but I forced myself to stay strong. “You won’t win,” I repeated, my voice hoarse but defiant. Elder Jalen smiled. “We’ll see.” The words filled me with a renewed sense of hope and urgency. Tay was close. I could feel it. I had to hold on just a little longer. My thoughts drifted to the nights we spent together, his arms wrapped around me, his voice a soothing balm to my soul. I wondered if I would ever feel the electrifying sensation again. The door to my cell creaked open, pulling me from my thoughts.

    Serenity The ground continued to tremble beneath our feet, dust and debris falling from the cracked walls. Jalen's dark energy filled the air, oppressive and suffocating. Tay's protective stance gave me a momentary sense of security, but I knew we were far from safe. "How is this possible?" I whispered, my voice barely audible over the rumbling. Jalen's laugh echoed through the corridor, cold and mocking. "You underestimated my power, Serenity. I am beyond your comprehension." Tay's eyes never left Jalen's; his muscles tensed and flexed. "We beat you once, Jalen. We can do it again." Jalen’s eyes, still swirling with that eerie black and gold, flicked toward me. "You may have burned my ph

    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.
