Serena’s PovThe village was unusually silent as the sun began its descent, casting long shadows over the thatched roofs and cobblestone paths. The tranquility was deceptive, masking the storm brewing by the riverbank. Alexia's screams were punctuated by desperate splashes as she tried to swim to shore. Her movements were frantic, her strength waning. One of the younger villagers, a young man, took a hesitant step forward, his face filled with concern.“Maybe we should help her,” he said, glancing nervously at Cervine. “She might drown.”Cervine's hand shot out, stopping Thom in his tracks. “No,” she said firmly.“She brought this on herself. She needs to understand the consequences of her actions.”After a light chuckle, she added, "Besides the water isn't that deep.”Some of the villagers laughed at that. I didn't. I just wanted all this to be over soon before things got out of hand.“But Cervine, what if—” the young man's voice was worried.“No buts,” Cer

Serena POV He didn’t answer, instead he looked down at his feet. After a long silence, I decided to ask him something else. I made a mental note to circle back to the question later."I need to know, Baird," I began, my voice trembling slightly but gaining strength as I continued. "What will you do if Alpha Grayson finds out who I am and commands you to kill me? You're a warrior of the Storm Pack, bound by duty. Will you follow his orders?" He sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair. "Serena, as long as I'm on the patrol team, I will do anything to protect this pack and the people I love, including you." "But that's not an answer!" I shot back, frustration bubbling up inside me. "What if the Storm Pack insists on fighting the Pack Alliance? Will you invade my homeland and attack my people?" Baird's jaw clenched, and he took a step closer to me. "You're worrying about things that will never happen." "How can you be so sure?" I pressed. "I've met Alexia. She doesn't see

Serena“Serena!” Nathan cried, threading his fingers through mine. The bars were in the way, but we did the best we could to join together. “I’ve never been so happy to see someone in my whole life.”“I saw you earlier, and I knew I had to get to you.” I glanced over my shoulder. How long did we have before Cervine couldn’t keep the guard from his post any longer?“I looked for you all along the border.” Nathan shook his head. “When you were nowhere to be found, I was worried that you might have broken past the transition zone on accident.”“Nathan…” I stared into his eyes. “Did you break into the transition zone looking for me?” A lump formed in my throat.He nodded. “I did.”The tears slid down my cheeks. “You shouldn’t have.”“I know,” Nathan agreed. “But Serena, you’re not just my boss. You’re my best friend.”I squeezed his fingers between mine. “You would have done the same for me.”I wiped my cheek on my shoulder. I didn’t want to let go of his hands. He was right. I

SerenaI knew the moment the SUV spun around that we were heading back to the dungeon. It was almost the last place I wanted to go. The last being the execution grounds, of course. At least in the dungeon, I had plenty of air to breathe, no matter how dusty and dingy it might be.Once Marcus tossed me into the cell that had held Nathan the day before, I almost felt a sense of relief. I didn’t have to fear going back to the dungeon now. I was already there. Nathan and Cervine were safe. That was all that mattered.I rubbed my wrists. It still felt like the cuffs were on, though Marcus had gruffly removed them before slamming the cell door. My mind moved to Baird as I sank to the ground. The last time I saw him, we had quite a fight. If I had only known what would become of me, that I would likely never see him again, I never would have argued with him in the first place.I closed my eyes and pictured his handsome face. I removed the fight from my mind and put into its place an alter

BairdMarcus’ face reddened. Everyone could hear the commander’s voice ringing through the phone well enough to know Marcus was getting reprimanded. The commander was covering for me. Would Marcus suspect that there was more to my relationship with the commander? Why else would he stand up for me without having been here himself?Marcus lowered the phone and his eyes. “You are free to go.” His voice was light and disappointed. I certainly wasn’t going to explain myself. He was letting me go and that was all I needed. I nodded to Marcus and raised my wrists in front of me. One of the guards unlocked them, and they fell to the ground. I gave Marcus a half-smile and sidled around him. I was out of there.I wanted to go back home more than anything. I had the walk to think about Serena. I couldn’t wait to see her. I wanted to apologize about our argument. I never should have fought with her in the first place. When the rogues surrounded my group in the forest, she was the firs
