He called it a prison, but it felt with a dungeon out of a historical setting with most atrocious torture methods.
But given the reputation of the pack, Serenity would not be exactly surprised if the legacy of cruel medieval practices were respected and followed in this pack.
The prison was situated beneath the pack house. The entrance of the torture chamber was marked by creepy, gnarly bare trees. The rough stone staircase led downstairs into a damp and musty pathway. The strong smell emanating from it made Serenity instinctively scrunch up her nose.
The nervous gnawing inside her made her palms wet, and biting down on the insides of her cheeks, she tried to prevent her fear from dominating her. She knew that if they noticed how panicked she was at this moment, it will only get them to act more outrageously.
Although Serenity regretted not acting docilely in front of Kieran, it was not as though she could turn the time back. All she could d
Three days have passed ever since she was brought into this torture chamber. What accompanied her during this time period were the shrieks and cries of tortured sols that pierced through the sound of constantly dripping water. If it were not for the timely meals brought over to her, Serenity probably would have lost track of time. At first, she spooked her by being anxious about the demented tortures they will put her through, but after around a whole day had passed, Serenity was starting to lose her mind out of boredom. Now, at this point, a part of her genuinely hopes they would do something to break this stale situation. A groan of exhaustion left her mouth. “This is going to drive me crazy. Where is that Alpha? Is he not going to come and question me? Even the police can only keep a suspect locked for forty eight hours for questioning without proper evidence. Maybe he plans for me to lose my mind here. No, Serenity, stay calm. Count sheeps
As the consciousness came back to her, Serenity opened her eyes slowly, squinting to adjust to the light in the room. Touching her forehead, she winced due to how heavy it felt while sitting up on the bed.“That was one weird dream to have. That bastard hugging me and calling me mate? Serenity, that’s a nightmare. What a- ah!”A shout escaped from her mouth when she noticed the gloomy man sitting on the couch, staring at her impassively. Serenity sat up on the bed, hugging her knees and backing away instinctively.“What are you doing here?” She asked defensively.Then, her memories started to return to her. Her hand reached out to touch her bandaged neck, and she had the urge to lose her consciousness again. She was not ready to face this insane world now.“That was not a dream. That cannot be not a dream. What does that mean then? That the Alpha has lost his mind? He needs help? His senses went all wrong?”
Hollow.That is how Serenity felt inside.Was this how heartbreak felt?No matter how much she tries to deny it, even if it wasn’t a deep-seated love, she knew that a part of her held certain expectations from him?And today, he crushed all of her delusions.He silently entangled her in his plot, willing to use and even sacrifice her life if necessary to be used as bait for that monster.Before she had the illusion that, no matter how much he claimed to hate her, he will always is there to protect her.But now, she didn’t even know what was going through his head. At this point, she wasn’t even interested anymore in that complex mind of his, knowing that it will only break her down further.“What are you feeling upset for Serenity? You truly don’t want to be his mate. What other good qualities does he have other than his looks? You deserve someone better. Someone who will love and respect you. You are too great to be dealing with these silly love affairs.”Serenity pumped her fist.Af
Serenity tried to keep her nervousness at bay as the stern eyes of the man observed her, Her palms started to sweat as she found herself feeling bare I front of him. It felt as though even her innermost feelings laid in front of him like an open book.“A human. How unusual.”Who was this man?Serenity wondered.Own of the pack members filled him in. “Commander, she is human doctor recently assigned to the pack.”“A human doctor? Has the pack truly reached such a state that it needs the help of a human? How mortifying! How has the Alpha been managing the pack all along!”Facing with such blatant insult, Serenity’s face stiffened. Seeing the petrified faces of the pack members around her, Serenity knew not to open her mouth. The pack members were not this terrified of the Alpha either.Serenity held her hands together, displaying her fear. She did not want to stand out to such a ma
Richard placed his hands on Serenity’s shoulders. “There is no changing his decision, Serenity. The Alpha already has enough on his plate. Don’t anger him. You barely managed to come out of the prison alive. Do you want to be sent back to that place?”The idea of spending a week more locked up in that suffocating room made her shudder and brought her mental trauma back. But Serenity was desperate. Just as she was starting to get acquainted with the pack members after being alienated by them, she could not be sent back.Serenity smiled at him. “Thank you. I know you are worried about me, but I will handle it. I might seem reckless, but I know what I am doing.”Serenity definitely did not know what she was doing.She reassured the Beta with no plans.Standing outside the Alpha’s office, she clenched up her hand into a tight fist. Although she had a lot of pent up frustrations towards him, she
Although the third floor was not booming with patients, it was not deserted like before. Serenity had patient s visiting her with their queries. Almost everyone was surprised to see her get out of the person barely harmed and wanted to learn the tricks behind it.According to them, prison is a gruesome place, and barely anyone come out of it alive. Those who manage to see the light of the day, they are half dead. Hearing the graphic descriptions from the few enthusiastic werewolves had Serenity shuddering and actually feel that Kieran could have gone worse on her.Compared to the usual treatment that the prisoners get, she felt like a royalty.Other than that, she had many ask her the secret behind hr. professional skills, and few kids expressed their wishes about wanting to become a doctor. Having them warm up to her and acknowledging her effort brought joy to her.Although Serenity inherently preferred to be lazy, being a doctor was also something she r
Few words of comfort was the only help he received from Serenity, which in his opinion only added salt to the wound and oil to the faire, before she departed for her so-called beauty sleep.Jake cursed at her as soon as she left.As if he would believe her if she said there was nothing she could do to alleviate his dilemma.However, the excruciating pain of his stomach clenching came next, causing him to fall on his knees. Groans of pain left his mouth, and even though a part of him wanted to lose his consciousness, the sensation was only getting more and more vivid.On the other hand, Serenity grinned widely at the successful execution of her plan.Even if she had the antidote, she was not the fool to hand it over to him so soon. Let him suffer from the pain for at least a week to leave a long term memory lest he messed with her again. Also, she needed to take care of that excessive energy he has.Serenity hummed happily as she skipped over to her room.It was regretful she had no co
As Serenity wrapped the bandage around the warrior’s arm, she brought up, “I haven’t seen you all gather for training today morning. Is there anything special coming up?”Everyone started to drop their reservation around her, and Serenity’s friendly personality, especially after how well she healed them, made it easy for them to open up with her.Although the warrior had a cold and intimidating expression on his face, Serenity’s gentle care made him calmly answer, “The Alpha is in low mood today. No one dares to get close to him. He postponed the training for the day.”“Is that so? With how strict and devoted the Alpha is, it must be a lot for him to cancel the training. I suppose even he needs a break at times. Breaks are good. They give you time to calm yourself down.”“It is not just a break for him. Previous Alpha passed away on this day. For the Alpha… it’s a sad day.” A sigh left the warrior’s mouth.Done dealing with the wound, Serenity commented, “The Alpha is strong. He will
