The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.

[Serenity’s POV]Later, I sit with my parents in the infirmary as the man who attacked me lays in bed, sleeping. Although he clearly hasn’t had a proper wash or meal in years, he is still quite handsome, and I can’t stop myself from feeling drawn to him.“Ugh,” he groans, beginning to stir. “Where…”Eyes widening, I watch the man’s amber-colored eyes open and come to rest on me. For a moment, they stay locked there as some strange emotion flashes in them before awe and even appreciation take their place.“You!” He rasps, attempting to reach out and grab me, but is stopped by my father grabbing his wrist and squeezing until a hiss of pain escapes him. “Ouch!”“Who the fuck are you, and what makes you think you have the right to touch my daughter?” My father growls.“Rosco,” my mother murmurs, giving him a disapproving look.“What?” My father demands. “This bastard hurt Serenity!”Opening my mouth, I prepare to argue what he said but stop as I realize that I shouldn’t have any reason to

[Serenity’s POV]Tristan’s words echo around me, causing the fear that was already beginning to build to grow and then bubble over.My blood could change wolves into humans. My blood. How was something like this even possible, and what did that mean for my future?“It’s amazing, right?” Tristan asks, breaking the silence that is falling around us. “You’re like this supreme goddess who can make or break the wolf world!”Amazing. Ha! That was most certainly not a word that I would use in a situation like this. If anything, it was terrifying, not only because of what others could do if they found out, but also because of what my parents would do when they found out. With how overprotective my father already was, I was certain that he would insist on keeping me locked away, but that in itself would only draw more suspicion.“We should head back and inform your father of my findings.” Tristan murmurs. “I’m sure he will come looking for you soon.”“No!” I gasp, not wanting to tell him. “We

[Serenity’s POV]After that day, the man, who ended up taking on the name Maverick, worked to become a member of Emerald Moon despite his special circumstances. And even if he was considered a criminal because of his attacking me, this was a place and a pack that allowed those who sinned in the past to redeem themselves.Of course, it took a lot of showing his loyalty for my father to fully trust him, but eventually it did happen, and because of that, he could join the ranks of the Alpha and Lunas special forces, which was amazing given the fact he didn’t possess a wolf anymore.By the time I turned sixteen and was able to enter into The Academy, he became my bodyguard and followed me there. Although he drew a lot of attention given his handsome face and his toned body, which he spent many hours building back up after his ordeal, he brought me comfort and solace. Especially since all the students were immediately against me given who my parents were and my pack's history.Maybe it was

[Elise’s POV]I stare straight ahead, taking in the man in front of me as he gives me a blank stare.William.Why was William here at The Academy acting as Principle instead of commanding Crystal Fang as their Alpha, and why was the vibe he was giving off so different?He has changed. Standing in front of me was no longer the easy-going and flirtatious William that I knew in the past. Instead, this man was cold and emotionless, and his eyes were almost dead.Along with the change in personality, his look has changed too, although that is to be expected. After sixteen years, he has started to develop specks of white in his dark hair, and a few wrinkles have formed around his lips and eyes. However, aside from that, he is still as handsome as he was then.“William.” I whisper before I can stop myself. “It’s you.”Instantly, the cold gaze he is giving me shifts to one of confusion and then anger.“Who has given you permission to use my name?” He asks, narrowing his dark gaze on me. “You’

[Serenity’s POV]The next day, I stand outside of The Academy, staring up at the star-filled sky. After agreeing to join the disciplinary committee with Eleanor, I discovered that our first act would be patrolling the grounds after curfew to make sure all the students were in their dorms as expected. Even if it was a hassle to have to do something so irritating, I owed Eleanor since it was partly my fault she got in trouble.“Are you sure about this?” Maverick murmurs, draping his jacket around me. “You really don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.”“It’s fine.” I respond, pulling his offering around me so that his scent envelopes me.Sighing, I close my eyes and try to imagine that it is his arms that are wrapping gently around me instead of fabric, but I knew there was no way that would happen. Since Maverick was with me out of his sense of duty for what I did for him, there was no way he would see me as anything more than his charge, which was fine until recently.Opening my e
