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. How could
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

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***"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
