SerenityThe sun was just beginning to rise over Fox Village, casting a soft golden light over the treetops. I stood at the edge of the small stream that ran through the territory, watching the water sparkle in the dawn light. The serene beauty of this place felt almost alien compared to the chaos and destruction we had fled. But no matter how peaceful it seemed, my mind was never far from our lost home and the pack members we had left behind.Adjusting to Fox Village was a journey in itself. The area was tucked away in a valley surrounded by dense forests, and the air was always filled with the scent of pine and earth. The pack members had a rhythm to their lives that was soothing to watch. They rose with the sun, worked hard throughout the day, and gathered in the evenings to share meals and stories.I spent most of my mornings walking through the territory, familiarizing myself with its layout and the people. The pack was huge and always busy with activity. Children played in the o

Javonte Leaving Fox Village, the moonlight shone brightly, casting a silver glow over the forest. The night creatures stirred, their soft sounds blending with the cool breeze that swept through the trees. The rich, earthy scent of pine, sap, and wild ginger filled the car; the aroma was soothing but not as calming as Serenity’s hazelnut scent. That familiar scent always managed to keep me grounded, even when my thoughts were at war with each other. As we headed toward Atlantic City, I prayed to the Moon Goddess, asking her to keep Serenity safe, far from harm’s reach. I couldn’t lose her again, not a third time. The thought of it was unbearable. I wasn’t the man nor the Alpha she needed in her life. I had failed her. I had failed our pack. Every decision I made seemed to lead to disaster. How could I call myself a leader when I couldn’t protect the ones I loved? I couldn’t count the number of times I’d sat in meetings with the high-ranking members—both the former and current one

Javonte We continued forward, Zace's voice cut through the silence, breaking me out of my reverie. "Once we reach the facility, what's our plan? If Dr. Rivers is involved. She'll likely have defenses." "Let's hope that's not the case." I had high hopes in Dr. Rivers, especially after she helped me find Serenity and no telling what else she had done for Serenity. After several hours of careful tracking, we reached the edge of a fenced-off area deep within the forest. Beyond it, hidden among the trees and heavy shadows, was a derelict building—no doubt the facility we were looking for. It was guarded but quiet, with only a few patrolling figures casting shadows along the perimeter. "Rogues!!! We need to get closer without alerting them,” I whispered, signaling for the others to fan out.

Serenity I led him into the ensuite, and I gently guided Tay to sit at the vanity, catching his reflection in the mirror—a blend of exhaustion and relief. I rummaged through the drawers until I found a comb and brush, then set to work, carefully loosening his braids and running my fingers through his thick, tangled hair. With each gentle pull, I could feel him relax, the tension easing while I untangled the braids and massaged his scalp, combing away remnants of dirt and debris that clung from their journey. Neither of us spoke. The silence wrapped around us like a comforting blanket, offering a peaceful reprieve from everything that had happened. Despite all that weighed on our minds, this was a moment for just us, a quiet communion in the stillness of the room. A breath of relief flooded from his mouth while I washed his hair. The scent of lavender and spearmint engulfed the walk-in shower. Ta

Javonte Serenity narrowed her eyes, catching the tension in my voice. "Javonte, I can sense when you're hiding something. What did that message say?" I sighed, realizing there was no way to keep it from her. "It was a warning, Serenity. Someone wants me to meet them at the ridge before dawn alone." Her eyes widened with worry. "This could be a trap. Whoever’s behind this knows too much about us already. I don't like you going alone." Dr. Rivers stepped forward, her face grave. "If this is truly connected to Jeremiah and Tiffany, we need to consider that whoever contacted you might be planning to lure you into an ambush. But if there’s any chance they have information, it’s worth investigating." I glanced at Serenity, her face set with determination. "I won’t be able to live with myself if you’re put in danger again because of me," I said softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "But we have to take this chance. If they know something, we might be able to finally get ahea
