"What did you manage to find about the attacks?" I inquired the man without looking up from the file I was going through.

"And why should I share such crucial information with you?" The man scoffed as he made himself relax on one of the couches on the far end of the room.

"Because I hired you to dig up that crucial information." I rolled my eyes, still not giving the man much attention. He might think he was something of a big deal in the werewolf world, but to me he was just an ordinary shifter. And I had my reasons for believing that.

"Yes, you might have."

I could see him pushing his feet up on the glass table in the periphery of my eyes. Though I kept my temper in check. If it was anyone aside from him, they would have already been kicked out of not only my office, but the packhouse as well. He waited patiently to get a reaction out of me, but when he didn't get one, he continued.

"But the last time I checked, you were still to pay me. Since I haven't heard a single

    Seraphine***"Seraphine, is it?" A voice interrupted my thought process, bringing my attention to its owner. I tore my gaze away from the cases pages and turned around to face them. A girl stood in my line of vision, seemingly shy, as she played with the hem of her jacket. "Yes?" I spoke up on realizing that she was not going to continue. "You have got the right person." I added after a small pause as I continued to eye her up and down. It wasn't that I waa judging her, but rather wanted to see if I can put her somewhat in my mind. It was one of my newly adapted habits. Alaris taught me to always gauge the other because one's body language could give away a lot. 'Alaris…' The thought of him left a bittersweet feeling behind. I had been missing him quite a lot recently. Day one of our trip wasn't even over yet, and there I was, sulking like a lovesick fool. 'Did I hear someone use the word love?' Ugh! I groaned internally, feeling frustrated at my wolf and her timing. She had b

    Alaris***"Sera?"I called her out to get her attention since she looked a little lost. I was on my way back to my office when I heard her inquiring about some herbs which were meant for werewolves. I wasn't sure where she was getting at with her line of questioning but the last thing I wanted her was to get high on herbs meant for werewolves. I had had a first hand experience of those and knew how potent they could be. But the girl refused to spill the beans. I was about to turn my attention to Alex, hoping to extract some information out of him when I saw her moving. She was up on her feet and in the next two seconds, she was already standing before me. Her eyebrows were drawn together, frustration etched on her face. Her eyes searched mine as if looking for something in particular. Before I knew what was happening, she had her arms wrapped around my torso and her face pressed flat against my bare chest. My skin buzzed with a different kind of sensation under her soft touch.

    Seraphine***What in the world was wrong with this man? One minute he would be so caring, and the very next he would have this constant scowl resting on his face as if I had asked him for both of his kidneys. Could werewolves even survive without both? Or did they need at least one of them to be functioning properly like humans? 'Focus, Sera!' I shook the weird thoughts off as I continued to follow him. Given his height, I had to take two steps to cover one of his. Why didn't I accept Hannah's offer while it was still on the table? Sitting in my room back at the packhouse would have been so much better than following him to God knows where. The trail we were following seemed like a never ending dirt track, one which was barely ever used. At least that was all I could tell from the looks of it. I had already questioned him a million times over by now about where we are heading since we started this trail, but the man refused to give me a single clue. As if that was not enough, I ha

    Seraphine***"Alaris?" I stepped inside his office without worrying about the formalities since the door was already partially opened. It made me assume that he must have been not busy. "Sera?" He looked over his shoulder to meet me in the eye. "Umm… the one and only." My lips curled up in a small smile instinctively as I tried to make light of the situation. He looked like he needed it. But then again, it was Alaris in the question, he always looked like he needed someone to lighten him up. All of his screws were wound too tight. "What brings you here?" He turned around to face me, his hands folded behind his back as he stood tall like an unmoving rock. "It wasn't anything important. I just came here to thank you." I shook my head as I took a couple of steps towards the center of the room where he was standing. "For what exactly?" His frown deepened just as his face twisted into a displeased scowl. Sometimes I couldn't help but wonder about him getting wrinkles way before his

    Alaris***"Hello, Marcus…." I watched her through the eyes of my beast. The way her eyes flickered across mine might have someone believing that she was scared of my wolf. But that was far from the truth. The trust that swirled in those stormy gray orbs of hers for Marcus was too obvious even for me to ignore. She knew that no harm would come to her as long as he was present there. I hoped that she held the same thoughts when it came to me. As much as I might find her annoying, I would never let her get harmed in any way. She was our little one after all. As much as I found the idea frustrating, I had come to terms with it. Sera was someone Marcus was too fond of to let go. She might not be our moon blessed, but she was now a part of our lives; she was someone I wouldn't mind having around. "I wish I could understand you." I stared down at her and realized that she was referring to the low whines Marcus was creating. It was his attempt at conversing with her. He nudged the side

    Seraphine***I have been pacing across my room since I returned. I wanted to run away from all of it. My family. My new life. The pack and the wolves. And… Alaris.The last one was most likely the only one that had me going against my flight response. I wanted to stay and fight against whoever it was after me. It was one of the reasons why I wanted an escape from my life. Why would someone come after? What did they want from me? Why go to such lengths of sending a bunch of rogues into another pack's borders just to get me—someone who didn't even have her own wolf? There were too many questions and no answers to any of them. 'How are you holding up?' A voice pulled me out of my reverie, and had me replying to myself as I was too lost to figure out the source of it. "Thanks for asking, Mom. I am doing good." I turned halfway around to look over my shoulder to find the door to my room shut. There was no one standing in the doorway either, or on the other side. "What the heck?" I mu

    Seraphine***After roaming along rows after rows of tall wooden shelves, each of which was stacked with books of all kinds, I found myself yawning. Though I could easily pass for a nerd back in college, it wasn't as exciting to go through a big, thick history book as it was studying science. Even when it was about some mythical creatures, history had always bored me. "I guess this should be enough for today." I flipped to the next page and slid in a threaded bookmark in between the pages to keep a track on where I ended. I knew I needed to continue with my research if I were to do anything about my wolf. Yes, Alaris was of great help, but there were certain things which were out of his control. And unless I had a better understanding of them, all of our efforts would be for nothing. I pushed myself up from the wooden chair and groaned internally as I stretched my upper body. One thing was for sure, the pack could do with better—and more comfortable—chairs in the library.

    Seraphine***"Go on, have a look."As if it was only his words I was waiting for, I sprinted across the room's length, only bringing my steps to a halt once I was on the other side of the desk. "How can you keep something like this hidden?" I asked, more to myself, as I gazed through the tinted glass wall. "Curtains." His words rang beside my ear, making me jump in the spot as his warm breath brushed against my ear. When did he get so close to me?"Y-yes. Of course." I stammered through my response, instinctively taking a step to the side. Alaris came to stand next to me, hands behind his back, as he continued to stare straight ahead at the scenic view. It was close to dusk. The orange and red hues were painting the evening sky in a tale of their own woes. One could see the soft rustling of the leaves from the distance as they danced to the chilly evening breeze. "How can you keep it hidden?" I muttered under my breath as I held onto my elbows. "And, please, don't say curtains th

    Alaris *** "Alpha?" I was inside my office, too lost in my own thoughts, pacing across the room's length as I thought about yesterday's events. The same question had been bugging me since then. Why were the rogues after Sera? "Alpha?" I heard the same voice once again and I looked over my shoulder to see one of the omega females standing a few feet away from me. She bowed her head slightly to greet me. "What is it?" I inquired about the matter since she was quite nervous. I could smell it rolling off of her in waves. "I am the female Beta Alexander appointed to look after Miss Seraphine as per your orders." She spoke as wiped her hands clean off the sides of her skirt. "Yes, Emma. Alex informed me about the matter." I gave her a nod in affirmation. "Is that all you came here for?" I could see it in her eyes that there was more to the story. She didn't have to report to me herself unless she was asked to. "There's one more thing that I needed to report to you." Emma spo
