His Hint

[Serenity’s POV]

I keep my gaze fixed on Maverick’s retreating form. Even from where I sit, I can feel his emotions slamming into me, and although I want to comfort him and tell him that whatever it is that he is thinking is wrong, I don’t move. Instead, I continue to watch until he heads out of the infirmary and slams the door behind him before turning my gaze to Eleanor, or rather, Aunt Elise.

“Wow,” she whistles, tearing her attention from where Maverick disappeared. “He’s pretty sensitive, huh?”

“About certain things,” I admit.

As long as I had known Maverick, the only times I really saw him show any type of emotion was when I attempted to hide something from him. There were also the rare moments when he would show his gentle side and even laugh or smile with me, but those didn’t happen often.

“Why didn’t you just let him stay and listen to our conversation?” She pushes, drawing me out of my head as my heart begins to hurt over my inadvertently hurting the one closest to me just t

    [Serenity’s POV]“Spell it out?”Frowning, I try to make sense of what it is that Maverick is getting at. Was he talking about his duty to protect me? I was more than aware of that, but for some reason, this seemed like something totally different.“Yes, little fool.” Maverick sighs, giving me a gentle smile. “Figure it out.”Stepping back, he watches me, waiting as I continue to try to figure out what exactly it is that he is saying, but when I come up empty, he just sighs and collapses.“You know,” he huffs, giving me a smirk. “You really are oblivious to so much if it isn’t related to pack matters or battle.”“Are you insulting me?” I growl, still feeling like I was missing something important.“Not at all,” he responds.Growing quiet, he just takes me in with that unreadable expression from before that makes my heart kick up speed and my stomach erupt with butterflies. I swear, it felt like he was almost seeing right through me, and I didn’t necessarily hate it, but I didn’t like

    [Elise’s POV]I watch as Serenity’s cheeks turn a bright pink while embarrassment flashes in her eyes. Oh, I could almost guess what, or rather, who this involved, and since I was pretty bored having to play student day to day, I could really use some entertainment.“Go on,” I announce, dropping down to the floor in front of her. “Tell Auntie Elise all about it.”Ugh. It sounded so weird to say that, but since Serenity knew my secret, there wasn’t really any reason for me to continue playing Eleanor in front of her.“What has the gentle giant done to you now?”“It isn’t him.” Serenity says slowly, clearly trying to compose her thoughts. “It’s me.”“Please don’t give me the whole it isn’t him; it is me thing. You didn’t see just how frazzled you looked when you ran into me. Clearly, he did something to cause that, right?”“He...” she begins, but stops as her blush grows deeper. “I think he tried to kiss me.”Eyes widening, I can’t help but give props to the gentle giant for being so bo

    [Elise’s POV]My heart drops as William’s words come to settle on me. An emergency. What kind of emergency could it possibly be? Did it have something to do with my new family or my pack?“What happened?” I ask, unable to stop my worry. “What’s going on?”“You’ll see when we reach my office.” He explains.Frowning, I consider stopping in place, but fear that will just make matters worse. It is clear from how sweaty William’s palm is and how serious his expression is that whatever this is is quite serious.When we finally reach his office, the familiar energy of my parents slams into me, and my biggest fear is realized. Rushing inside, I fix my eyes on the couple as they sit stiffly.“Mom?” I call, moving toward my mother first as she jumps up and grabs me. “What’s…”I don’t get to finish my words before she is pulling up my sleeve to see the bite mark that is on my arm. Flinching, I try to ignore just how much worse it looks.“So it’s true.” She murmurs as my father comes to join her.

    [Elise’s POV]I look around at the crowd until I spot the twins that were recently turned human. From what I could see, it was clear that they at least knew each other before whatever happened to turn them rogue.Frowning, I examine the man standing beside me as he stares on proudly. Who exactly was this man? Was he possibly the leader of this group? And if he was, did that mean this was a pack, or were they humans?Extending my senses, I test out the area to find that these people are in fact wolves, although I kind of already knew that. But why was I here, and who was this woman I was possessing? Was the goddess trying to show me something important because, if she was, I was missing it?Why? I whisper inwardly as the man beside me clears his throat, drawing attention to himself. Why am I here?Focusing on the man, I wait while he lifts his arms and all in front of him drop to a knee.“Today is a glorious day.” The man announces, beaming. “For I have found it.”Eyes widening, I begi

    [Serenity’s POV]My eyes widen as the reality of what is happening hits me. Eleanor was being taken back to her pack, but why?As this question appears in my mind, I turn my gaze to Uncle William's, who is watching on silently. It is clear in his gaze that he wants to say something, but he doesn’t.Please. I beg him, hoping he understands what I’m saying. Please don’t let them take Eleanor away!‘Dad!’ I gasp, praying that he can hear me. ‘I need your help!’For a moment, I don’t feel or hear anything, but when my dad’s presence appears in my mind, I feel a wave of relief. However, that is short-lived as his panic slams into me, and I realize that I’ve worried him.‘Serenity!’ He hisses. ‘What is it? What’s wrong? Are you hurt?’‘No,’ I respond. ‘It’s my friend. Her parents are trying to take her away from the academy.’Goddess, I knew that this sounded absolutely ridiculous. Why on earth would I be so worried about a simple person who wasn’t related to me?‘Please!’ I continue, playi

    [William’s POV]“I need you to be the temporary principal of The Academy until Serenity graduates.”When my cousin said this to me, I decided to do it. It would be a reprieve from the mundane and cold life that I was living as the alpha of Crystal Fang.That was why I agreed to it and came to this school during the same year that my niece was enrolling. From that day on, I kept a close eye on her, making sure that nothing happened to her while also not interfering.Even when I noticed that many of the students were isolating her, I didn’t interfere. It wasn’t my place to step in. As a future leader and as an adolescent finding her independence and place in the world, she needed to navigate that issue alone.Silently, I watched and protected, minding my own business until the day a small little sprite with a sassy mouth and a devil may care attitude came crashing into her world and even mine.At first, I thought maybe she was just overly nice and would do the same with the other studen

    [Elise’s POV]I don’t speak as Serenity drags me through the school and into her dorm, where she whirls on me with a look that screams panic.“What’s going on?” She demands, unable to hold back her worry. “Why were your parents, no, Eleanor’s parents, trying to take you away?”Smirking, I show her the bite mark on my arm. With each passing day, it was slowly expanding, covering more and more of my skin, and looking like absolute shit.“Someone blabbed.” I huff. “And word got to my parents.”“Who do you think it was?” Serenity asks, eyeing me. “And why would they…”“Isn’t it obvious?” I ask. “It was that bitch hanging around William.’“You mean Lydia?”“Who else.”Since meeting that bitch, I got the feeling that she wasn’t fond of me, which was pretty damn crazy given the fact that I was no one to be concerned about. Maybe if I was still in my original body, it would be different.Huffing in annoyance I try not to think about that smug bitch and how I missed the opportunity to beat the

    [Maverick’s POV]I stand at the edge of the hall, watching as William and the pipsqueak speak quietly. I didn’t mean to overhear anything, but shouldn’t they have picked a better place to speak? Anyone could overhear, and if what I just heard got into another's hands, well, I feared what would come.Deciding maybe it was best to end things before someone comes up, I clear my throat, drawing both William’s and the pipsqueaks gazes toward me. And when they realize I’m here, both of their expressions reflect shock and then panic.“Don’t worry,” I sigh, shoving my hands in my pockets and beginning to move. “I didn’t hear anything.”Ignoring their gazes, I head past them and then into the dorm, where Rosco sits with his eyes fixed on the door.“Why are you here?” He asks, frowning. “Didn’t we agree you would go to the men’s dorm?”“About that…” I begin, but stop as William’s hand clamps on my shoulder. “We couldn’t move him.” He announces, taking me by surprise. “So, he will need to stay

    [Serenity’s POV]Later, I sit in a meeting room with Uncle Jose, a few of his sergeants, and Maverick. The mood is grim, and even though I want to be outside fighting, I know that going forward we will have to be wary. For that reason alone, we decided on this retreat despite the danger that lurked just near the borders, unmoving.As I let my gaze travel around those who are with me, Maverick’s hand touches mine, and that gentle touch alone makes me feel like I’m going to crumble at any minute.I didn’t protect him. I didn’t protect my father. I didn’t protect the rest of the warriors who trusted in us. I failed. I was a failure, and now…‘It’s alright.’Maverick’s voice is soft and soothing, but it only causes my turmoil to grow greater.‘How can you say that?’ I ask, wanting to look him in the eye. ‘Because I didn’t arrive on time, you…’“Let’s begin this meeting.” Uncle Jose announces before I can go any further. “As it is clear that we were surprised with that boy's strange abilit

    [Serenity’s POV]I stare straight ahead, taking in Forrest, who sits on the ground laughing. His arm is bleeding, and even from where I stand, I can smell his blood, and to my surprise, it makes my mind hazy.What is that? I hiss, trying to make sense of what is happening. What the hell am I smelling? It smells delicious, and I want…No. I hiss inwardly, shaking off the desire that I’m feeling. There’s something off about that blood, something scary, and maybe it explained the way Maverick was acting.As this thought hits, I peek behind to find him lying motionless on the ground. He’s in his human form, and I’m almost certain that he won’t be able to shift again, not after biting me and ingesting my blood.Was it you? I silently growl, turning my gaze back to Forrest. It was, right?I’m certain he understands me given the smile that spreads across his face and the way he lifts his hands and claps.“You’re a smart one.” He huffs, slowly rising to his feet. “And it seems that you may be

    [Maverick’s POV]The world around me begins to turn red, and everything in me screams to kill as the scent of Forrest’s blood overwhelms me.Fuck. What was this? What was this feeling? What was happening to me?Hissing in shock, I stumble backward even though everything in me screams to continue to attack, and this move alone causes a laugh to escape Forrest.“Look at you,” he huffs, sitting up and wiping blood from his lip. “Just the slightest smell of my blood has you struggling so much.”“Shut up,” I growl, trying to shake off what I’m feeling. “Just shut the fuck up.”As I speak, I move to attack again but once again stagger as that need for blood hits me.“What is this?” I whisper, causing a bark of laughter to escape Forrest.“She isn’t the only one with special blood.” He says, getting up from the ground and beginning to move toward me. “I too have special blood, but mine doesn’t turn wolves into humans.”“What?” I hiss, fixing my gaze on the man in front of me so I can see him

    [Maverick’s POV]I watch in horror as the ground beneath Serenity opens up, and before I can move to help her, she is falling.“SERENITY!” I roar, rushing forward and watching as she hits the ground below and curls in on herself to protect her body from the debris that is falling.Stepping back, I prepare to jump but stop as I hear Serenity cough and then get up to move, heading straight for the front of the packhouse where I’m certain the enemy is waiting.“Dammit!” I growl, moving forward and then jumping so I’m left falling to the ground below.As I hit, I start to move, rushing forward and bursting through the door to find Serenity standing with Rosco, but I don’t have much time to feel relief as I take in all the blood that is covering Serenity’s body.Shit. I hiss inwardly, looking around until I find a flag, which I grab and then move forward so I can wrap it around Serenity, who lets out a shocked gasp while Rosco watches on.“At least someone has some sense of urgency.” He hu

    [Serenity’s POV]I keep my gaze locked on Maverick’s as I slowly begin to lower myself, allowing him to fill me bit by bit until he is swallowed whole. Remaining in place, I get used to having his fullness in me before I begin to move.“Maverick,” I whisper, pressing my hands against his chest so I can dig my nails into his skin. “Oh, fuck Maverick.”“That’s it,” he murmurs, running his hands to my ass so that he can begin to guide me. “That’s a good girl.”Good girl. Goddess, I loved the way he called me a good girl. I loved the way he called my name passionately. I loved how his body felt against mine and how his dick felt in me. I loved all of it, but most of all I loved him, and even now, with our bodies moving together, our hearts beating rapidly, and our breath hitching from what we are doing, I don’t feel like this is enough to show him my feelings.“I love you,” I whisper, quickening my thrusts. “I love you so damn much, Maverick.”At my words, his eyes grow wide, and before I

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   The Night Before Battle

    [Serenity’s POV]“Do you think Uncle William is okay?”I stare up into Maverick’s dark eyes while his arms tighten around me, pulling me closer to try to comfort the anxiety that I’m feeling.Two days had already passed since Uncle William went back to Crystal Fang, and even though there was no word on how he was, there was also no word that something happened, which in the end was a good sign, but I just couldn’t seem to calm down no matter how many times I told myself that everything was going to be okay.Was this feeling of foreboding only because of Uncle William, or did it also include the battle that we would be heading out for tomorrow?Of course, I have full faith in my pack, my family, and my family’s packs, but I was still nervous because the thought of losing even a single person was eating away at me, especially since I was the reason all of this was happening.“Hey,” Maverick murmurs, gently grabbing my chin and making me look at him. “Listen to me.”“Mmmmm.”Where he tou

    [William’s POV]I stare at Lydia, my gaze narrowing as I take in what it is that she is saying. I wasn’t sure if she thought that I was so easy to fool or if she really went crazy, but I wasn’t in the mood to deal with her shit.“You know there is no way that is impossible.” I say, ignoring my anger over her even suggesting such a ridiculous thing. “If you’re worried about not having anywhere to go once you leave here, you don’t have to worry about that. I will continue to support you as I promised, but you will no longer be able to stay beside me as you have until this point.”“You can’t be serious.” Lydia says, her eyes widening. “You’re going to send me away even though you know that I’m pregnant?”“You’re not pregnant.” I snap. “I took all precautions to ensure that didn’t happen.”“Nothing is a hundred percent.” She points out. “If you don’t believe me, then shall I have an examination?”“Have it,” I shrug. “Even if you are pregnant, I wasn’t the one who did it. Now, if you’re do

    [William’s POV]I give Serenity and Maverick a final look before turning and peeking at Elise, who is curled up in bed with the blanket wrapped so tightly around her you would think she considers it the only thing protecting her from what is happening around her.“Why does this feel like goodbye?” Serenity asks, drawing my attention back to her. “I don’t like it.”“Don’t worry,” I chuckle, ruffling her hair. “I promise that I’ll be back, after all…”After all, wherever Elise is is where I will be. There was no way that I was going to let her out of my sight now that she was here with me. Of course, I knew that our relationship could never be what it once was given our current standing, but I could still be her support as she navigated the trenches of whatever life she decided to lead.“Now,” I continue, gently shutting the bedroom door behind me. “You and Maverick should take advantage of the time you have left before we leave.”“Okay,” she says quietly, but from her gaze, I know that

    [Serenity’s POV]I sit with Maverick outside of Uncle William’s room, listening quietly to what is being said inside. Although I don’t necessarily think it is such a good idea to overwhelm Aunt Elise with her backstory, I can’t help but hope that maybe, somehow, it will bring her memories back to her. But even if those returned, what would come of Eleanor’s memories before Aunt Elise awoke? Would they somehow be there, or was the Eleanor of the past be gone forever?“What is it?” Maverick asks me, snapping me out of my head. “You’ve got a pretty big crease between your brows.”“I was just thinking,” I say quietly. “What it must feel like to be devoid of everything.”The words leave me before I even realize what I’m saying and to whom, and when I realize what I’m doing, my eyes widen, and I snap my gaze to Maverick, only to find that he is giving me a gentle look.“I’m sorry,” I hiss, feeling like I just shoved my foot into my mouth. “I didn’t…”“It’s fine,” he assures me, his large ha
