Chapter FourteenFirst Person's Perspective_Serena_My eyes fluttered open and immediately began to scan the room. I recognized this place. Without thinking twice, I jumped off the bed and turned to the door. He stood there, leaning by the door, legs crossed and hands folded around his chest. He had a serious expression on his face. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry I brought you back to this place despite knowing that it is where I... Where I...." He was finding it hard to complete his words"Where you took advantage of me" I helped him out and he lowered his gaze in what I presumed to be guilt and embarrassment. A small smile appeared on the corner of my lips. It all made sense now. He was helping me out because he felt guilty for his actions and was trying to make up for it. It still didn't justify his actions, but at least, he was sorry about itI walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder "It's okay" I whispered. He raised his head, surprise evident in his eyes. "Really?" He asked

"What the hell!" I exclaimed and made to retaliate, but I felt a hard object collide with my skull and I fell to the ground, unconscious The next time I opened my eyes, I found myself in an abandoned warehouse. A guy stood in front of me, his hands folded across his chest. He wore a mask that covered his entire face except for his eyes "Who are you?" I asked, standing up and taking cautious steps towards him. There was silence for a few minutes and then he sighed and took off the mask, making me stop abruptly. "Craig?" H
Chapter SixteenFirst Person's PerspectiveSerenaI made the decision to go back to my apartment, as I didn't want to be the cause of anyone's misfortune. Reed or Jeremy, I didn't know which was his real name, has been nothing but nice to me, I can't afford to put him in danger. But I must say, I kind of regretted that decision. The minute I stepped foot into my apartment, a familiar scent hit my nostrils, and I needed no genius to tell me that he was here, Jake was here. What the hell did he want from me? To finish me off completely? My eyes began to scan the entire place searching for himHe couldn't possibly harm me though right?, I was now under the protection of Alpha Robert."I see you're back" I heard his smooth voice call from behind, startling me a bit. I spun around, my eyes locking onto his chiseled features “I've been waiting for you" he said, a careless smile dancing at the corners of his lips. "What are you doing here?" I asked and he chuckled, his eyes crinkling at th

CHAPTER FIVESERENA'S POVIt had been a week since the incident, and Luna Emily had been of tremendous support to me. Some of the pack members were starting to accept me as one of their own, but to be honest, that one week felt like an eternity. Adjusting to the pack's way of life was challenging. I mean, going from being a Luna to an ordinary wolf in the pack was not easy, but it was my reality now and I had to live with it, without complaints"Hey, Best" Valerie, my coworker and newfound best friend said as she walked into the bar counterYes, I managed to get a job at a bar, the very first place I visited upon arriving at this pack. The particular bar where that perverted asswipe Picked and took advantage of me when I was drunkYou might be wondering why I chose to work there. Well, the reason is because I want to ensure that he faces the consequences of his actions.

Chapter ThirteenSerena's POVIt finally got to the day of our execution. I wasn't in the least bothered about it. What was my purpose of living anyway? I know one would ask. 'What about your baby? Don't you want to live for him?' but the truth is, he would be better off not alive. I didn't want to bring my child to a world where he wouldn't know peace. A child that would grow up without a father, that would be a cruel thing to do as a mother "Alright, on your feet. It's time" A guard said as he undid the locks and dragged us out of the cell. Never in my life had I thought that one day I would be treated like this, like a criminal. I look at myself and I shake my head inwardly in self pity. We were dragged to the center of the crowd, our wrists bound by heavy chains, as we were made to kneel before the Alpha and Luna He stared at me and then Jeremy,a glint of disappointment flashed through his eyes. There was so much silence in the crowd that if a pin dropped, the sound would be he
Chapter TwelveThird Person's POVHe held her by the arm and they tip toed to another angle of the cave. A secret passage. Yeah, he knew what he was in the pack for, better to have secret passages for emergency reasons. Sameer had been caught, there was no time for him to raise an alarm to his boss or anything. “Where do you think you're going?“ The croaky voice echoed at a corner. They came to an abrupt stop. “Oh Jeremy you poor thing” the voice said again. They turned their heads to the direction simultaneously and a smile appeared on the man's face. “How happy I am to have finally caught you” He stared at him. “Lin” the guy had always hated his guts right from the very first day he saw him. Reed knew that there was no way he could talk his way out of this“Oh that's right. I had always known that you were a traitor. I told the Alpha about it but he never listened. You know, all those powerful men. They never want to listen to ordinary people.“ Lin kissed his teeth as he took few st
Chapter ElevenThird Person's POV*Silver Pack*Alpha Lucas walked into the waiting room, there Lorenzo sat. As soon as his eyes met the figure of the Alpha, he jumped to his feet and gave a slight bow. “Greetings Alpha Lucas,” he said. The man nodded, took a seat and gestured for him to do the same.“So…What's so important you have to tell me that couldn't wait until tomorrow?“ He questioned. Lorenzo cleared his throat and sat up right. He had come with news. Bad news “It's about Sub Alpha Reed” At the mention of that name, Alpha Lucas's attention became fully drawn to him. “What about him?“ He became alarmed. Had he been caught? Oh that slow bastard he called a son. If he blew this mission away or anything bad had happened to him, it better be as severe as him being killed else, he would make sure to make him regret his existence on earth.“It seems to me that he has abandoned his mission Alpha.“ Lorenzo continued. Lucas hit the side table with his fist. That bastard! “He was asked
CHAPTER TENREED'S POVI moved behind the Pillar immediately to seek shelter, there was a guard on patrol and I could not risk getting caught. Right now, I was still wanted and I hadn't thought of an excuse to bail myself out, yet.I could see the garden gate, I just needed this guard out of the way. I kept looking at my wrist watch from time to time. He was late again argh! I can't with this guy “Hey man! Didn't you hear? The Alpha has called on all guards to assemble in his meeting room for an address" Julius said to the guard and he raised a brow“Why would the Alpha want to assemble us?“ That was a good question, I really hoped he was prepared for that one “Uh..— “Oh shit!“ I muttered and face palmed —Are you questioning the Alpha's order?“ The guard began to stutter“Um..no..no, I just. Well…”“Of course I don't know why he has called on all our attention, but I think it has something to do with that traitor, Jeremy who helped the witch escape” The guard nodded, his face saying “T
CHAPTER NINEREED'S POVI began to avoid eye contact, there's no way I would have told her my real mission. Though she was my mate, i still could not trust her with such vital information that could either make or break meShe stared keenly at me awaiting response, while I racked my brain in search for an alibi. No idea seemed to be coming in“Um... *SMACK*” I hit her head with a force that was enough to make her unconscious“Sameer!“ I called in a tone of urgency“Yes Reed” He answered immediately“Jeremy! Sameer, it's Jeremy! “ I corrected and he nodded“Noted. How can I be of service to you?““I need Amanda's presence right away” I informed, and his gaze moved to the unconscious lady lying on the bed. He stared at her for a considerably long time“What are you doing standing here and staring? Call Amanda now, before Serena wakes up” My voice seemed to have pulled him out of his trance“She's... She's.. Look” He struggled to form wordsI turned sharply towards her, and my mouth f
Chapter EightReed's POVSo having said all that, here I am. It's very surprising how much of a dumb ass idiot Robert is, considering all the hype he got from my brother, it was kind of a disappointment. I mean,despite all my flaws and mistakes, he never suspected a thing. Oh well! That's a story for another day, right now I need to take a criminal to the execution hall“Jeremy!“ My colleague called out“Oh! Hey man!“ I greeted and he nodded in acknowledgement. He looked like he wanted to say something. I sensed it might be something pleasant“Is anything the matter?“ I asked in anticipation“Don't you think you should be dragging the criminal at cell 56 out to the execution ground instead of asking questions that do not concern you? . The Alpha and the people are waiting” Simon said as he passed by. It came off rude, which was not of Simon's character. Something was off, I could Sense it. But could it possibly be?Anyway,“Got to go, see you later man!“ I said and headed towards the
