Unknown POVI stood at the edge of the forest, watching Serenity as Gabriel pulled her with him.To say I was furious was an understatement. I was raging mad. I wanted to shed blood. I wanted to teach Gabriel a bitter lesson, for placing his hands on what belonged to me. On what was mine.Serenity belonged to me alone and no one else. Especially not Gabriel.I waited for a while to make sure they had gone far before I ventured into the forest. As I moved further in, I could hear their voices. Serenity was having an argument with Gabriel and I moved closer wanting to hear their conversation."It seems you enjoy being rebellious," Gabriel was saying. My hands curled into fists, aching to punch something. The sound of Gabriel's voice alone infuriated me. I took deep breaths, tuning out their conversation and trying to quench the rage inside me. And when I heard Gabriel's next words, I totally lost it."I'm going to teach you a lesson. A lesson you will never forget"I shifted suddenly,
Alpha GabrielSerenity had fallen asleep in my arms by the time I arrived home. Her chest rose and fell in deep slumber and I watched her calm face as she slept. I knew I was the first man to ever pleasure her that way because I remembered how tight she was. Remembering it now threatened to give me a hardon and make Spirit come alive.Moving carefully not to awake her, I climbed the stairs slowly and made my way to one of the numerous guest rooms. I was so tempted to take her to my room, but for some reasons, I decided not to.Yes! I was crazy about Serenity and I wanted her to be my mate, but she wasn't yet. A part of me still dreaded discovering that my mate was another woman, especially now that Serenity and I were a thing. She didn't even stir when I placed her on the bed. She was totally exhausted, content from the pleasure I made her experience. A small smile lifted my lips and I softly touch a strand of her dark hair, my eyes locked on her face. "What have I gotten myself in
Alpha GabrielI raced through the forest in blinding speed, the trees blurring rapidly as my pace increased. My eyes remained bloodred, a sign of my beast unleashed. As I ran, the words written in the note played repeatedly in my mind.'this is just the beginning Gabriel. A taste of my war to come. Soon, I shall have what you desire so much. Serenity. Try to save her if you can'I let out another loud roar and struck down a massive tree that blocked my path. My claws snapped the thick bark in two, each parts falling apart as I raced through. I didn't know who this person was, but I knew he had something to do with Serenity. I knew it had something to do with the rogue attack, and the secret Lucian told me about Serenity.Which was why I felt so protective towards her. She was still innocent. She didn't know anything about her real identity, because Lucian had kept the secret from her ever since she was born. When Lucian told me his suspicions about Serenity's powers and how he suspe
"I told you we would meet again," the werewolf said, his face twisted into a wicked grin.I stared at him in fear, my breath frozen in my throat. I couldn't move a muscle and it terrified me. Why couldn't I move?The werewolf seemed to understand me and he chuckled. "Don't worry," he assured. "It's a mild tranquilizer, something to calm your spirited wolf while we have a little chitchat. Can't risk letting you bite my head off"He laughed at his own joke and all I could do was stare at him. My entire limbs felt like jelly. I tried to connect with Moon but she had retreated far into my mind, a place I couldn't reach her."I hope my little pets weren't too much for you," the werewolf continued, waving a hand towards the rogue werewolves. "They're so obedient when it comes to following my orders""You... control... the rogues?" I asked in shock, forcing the words through my lips that were so numb that it was difficult to speak."Of course, my sweet," the werewolf said, relaxing against a
SerenityI raised my hand again, ready to strike the rogues with lightning when suddenly, I felt weak and I collapsed to the ground.The lightning bolts disappeared and the dark sky brightened again, daylight taking over. The full moon disappeared behind the clouds, and the power I felt a moment ago disappeared, leaving me feeling extremely weak.The werewolf, seeing what had happened, walked towards me carefully. He held the side of his stomach, and I could see blood dripping from the wound. The blast from the lightning had wounded him."Your powers are fighting to emerge, even before you come of age," he whispered, keeping a safe distance away from me. I wanted to ask him what he meant, but I felt so weak and limbless. I could barely raise my hand."I shall keep an eye on you, Serenity," he said finally, retreating into the shadows. "We will meet again"I watched him disappear into the forest, his pack of rogues running after him. I tried to get up, but it seemed the strange power
SerenityMy eyes slowly opened and I pushed myself up. My body protested with my movements and I felt dizzy and weak. I didn't know why I felt so weak. I hadn't been attacked. I wasn't hurt, yet I felt like my entire body was on fire.I wanted to remain on the bed but after hearing everything Uncle Lucian told Alpha Gabriel about me, I couldn't. My mind was in disarray, my thoughts were scattered. I felt like my entire existence was a lie. I had lived with Uncle Lucian for years, right from a baby to an adult, and yet he still kept the truth about my identity hidden.One question resounded in my head.Why? Why would he do a thing like that? I had every right to know about my parents, and about what kind of strange powers I possessed. The fact that he thought he was protecting me by not telling me was what angered me.I stared at the two of them as they spoke by the window, and then Alpha Gabriel turned his head and stared at me."You're awake," he rushed to the bed and gently lowered
Feeling my anger mount, I crushed the note in my hand and threw it away in annoyance. I was dealing with a lot of things at that moment. Whoever wrote that note clearly wanted to mess with my sanity and I was not going to allow them.If it was the strange werewolf, then he better up his game because I would not allow him mess with me again.With an annoyed grunt, I got to my feet and trudged home. I didn't have the energy to shift, besides, Moon was totally silent, reflecting on our discovery of today. The sky was dark, the moon hidden beneath thick dark clouds. Thunder rumbled in the distance and before I knew it, it began to rain.I didn't bother to find shelter. I let the rain drench me totally as different thoughts racked through my mind. I was like a moving train wreck.By the time I got home, it was almost midnight. I couldn't believe the distance I had covered when I ran off. Uncle Lucian was waiting at the top of the stairs when I arrived home, drenched and dripping.He didn'
I was in a state of fury. I couldn't even think straight. All I wanted was to feel my hands squeezing the life out of my uncle. The thought was scary, but that was what I needed at that point.Uncle Lucian didn't try to defend himself. He lay against the wall, holding his side and staring at me with an expression filled with guilt, regret and remorse."Why?" I sobbed, tears spilling down my eyes. "Why didn't you help them? Why?"Uncle Lucian cried with me as he tried to get up from the ground. "Words can't express how regretful I am Serenity," he cried. "Everyday, I blame myself for looking and doing nothing. I will never forgive myself for what I did"I fell to the ground and cried my eyes out. Uncle Lucian crawled over to me and took me in his arms, crying with me. My heart felt so heavy. I let him hold me as we cried for the loss of our loved ones."I regret it, Serenity. I really do. By the time I came back to my senses, it was already too late. I watched him lower you beneath a t
SerenityI could feel my strength slowly seeping out as I closed the mind link. I felt a little sense of relief knowing that Alpha Gabriel would find me. I didn't know how he would, but I hoped. I could only hope. The feeling of dizziness took over me again, making me feel limbless and threatening to pull me under. Whatever these human shot into me was slowly pulling me into unconsciousness and I struggled to remain awake. I was still trapped in my wolf form because the fear of shifting into my human form was too great. I couldn't risk being discovered by the humans. I weakly raised my head and examined where I was. I could tell I was in a moving vehicle because once in a while, the cage where I lay shook with the vehicle's movements. Thick chains were wrapped around my fore and hind limbs, preventing me from moving a muscle. There was a tight nuzzle around my mouth, making it impossible for me to make a sound. When did all these happen? The last thing I remember was trying to es
Alpha GabrielI arrived home hours later. After Serenity stormed off in anger, I needed time to think so I went on a run, giving Spirit the opportunity to run wild. I used that opportunity to go round my territory, round the forest surrounding Blackwood, my home. Even with the run, I couldn't think straight. I felt so terrible. The fact that Serenity was hurt because of me made me feel like the worst person on earth. How could I have spoken to her in that manner? A girl I was really crazy about? How could I hurt her that way? Honestly, in a way, I didn't regret what I said. If I wasn't mated to Serenity, I wouldn't want her to reject her mate for me because it would be a terrible thing to do. I didn't own her. "Yet it seems you've used her," Spirit growled at me. I sighed."I didn't mean to treat her that way," I tried to defend myself but Spirit growled at me again. "I tried to warn you to stay away from her. You had no business being with a woman who isn't mated to you yet""I
"Why don't you come in and show me?" I asked in a breathless voice. I couldn't resist him. Staring at his hard toned body alone made my knees weak, and all the resolve I had mustered oozed away like breeze. I watched him step into the water, not bothering to take off his pants. His eyes never left mine as he lowered himself into the flowing water and slowly made his way over to me. I didn't say a word as he stopped before me and lifted a hand to my cheek. "You look angry," Alpha Gabriel observed, staring straight into my eyes. I frowned a bit. How could he tell I was pissed? Was I so easy to read? "Tell me, Serenity. What's bothering you?" I watched him silently as he played with a wet strand of my hair. This was my chance to talk about how I felt and how I wanted him to treat me. But standing before him now, staring into his intense dark eyes, all thoughts disappeared from my head. All I could think of were his hands touching me. "I want you to touch me, Alpha Gabriel," I said
The next few days went past with no incident. Alpha Gabriel kept a close watch on me, and even with all my complaints, he didn't relent. He never let me step out on my own. Two of his warriors always stayed with me wherever I went because I hadn't moved into the mansion yet. That morning, I woke up in a sour mood. My dreams had been filled with memories of the night I was kidnapped. The strange werewolf had appeared to me again, claiming me as his and vowing that we would meet again. It turned my mood sour as I got out of bed. Fortunately, there were no warriors stationed outside my room. It was strange and I wondered what Alpha Gabriel might be up to. I groaned and trudged out of my room. My uncle was in the kitchen preparing breakfast when I entered. "Morning, Uncle Lucian," I mumbled and sat atop the high stool. I rested my elbows on the large table and plopped my chin on my palms. "Morning, honey," Uncle Lucian smiled up at me, then he frowned. "What's got you in a bad mood
The next morning, I trudged towards Alpha Gabriel's mansion. I had shown my uncle the picture and the note before I left and he wanted me to tell the Alpha about it. After what happened the previous night, Uncle Lucian and I agreed on an unspoken decision. We would never keep things from each other. So when I showed him the picture and the note before leaving, I also told him about the note I found when I woke up in the forest."Tell this to Alpha Gabriel," he said, handing the notes back to me. "It is better if he is aware""Do you think it's the same werewolf that kidnapped me?" I asked."I hope it is," Uncle Lucian replied worriedly. "Because if it isn't, this can only mean we have another enemy, one that knows who you are"With a gloomy expression, I left home and headed towards the mansion. I was halfway there when Alec and Medea caught up with me."Serenity," Medea was the first to speak and she stopped in front of me.I looked up at her, waiting for her to continue. I was sti
