“What a coward,” Kieran commented, not hiding his derision.Serenity retorted, “You would be as well if you were not a werewolf. Not only does that look creepy, a bite could literally have my heart stopping. It’s not like you have doctors here other than me.”Kieran scoffed. “Pathetic. Now, get off of me.”Heat rose up her cheeks as she realised her position, and immediately jumped down his body. Clearing her throat, she clarified, “I have slight phobia of snakes. I would have done this to anyone in your position.”“There is no need for an explanation. I don’t cater. Get lost from here. Were you not allowed to leave the pack house?”Serenity felt lucky and grateful that she was not the one with a fragile heart or else with his constant insulting behaviour and her embarrassing slight crush on him, her face would have collapsed.Serenity assumed a gloating expression. “Guess what. Your pack actually likes and trusts me a lot. They suggested I sneak out tonight. You can’t believe that yo
On their way back home, Serenity occasionally glanced at Kieran while the Alpha kept his line of sight straight. The silence between them made Serenity itch to create troubles.“Alpha, how were you as a child? Were you the quiet good kid? Or were you the type to be naughty? Or could it be that you were born with this cold expression on your face?” Serenity’s voice held a teasing intent.Kieran sharply stared at her from the side, having no intention of entertaining her.“Come on, Alpha. Don’t be such a bore. Tell me your childhood stories,” Serenity expressed.“Don’t force me to throw you off to the wild animals. They would love a human like you for feast,” threathened the Alpha.Serenity scrunched up her nose at his mean words.“If you don’t tell me about yours, let me tell you about mine. I had a very happy childhood. My parents loved me a lot. In fact, everyone around me loved and cared for me a lot. It was as though I was born to be loved. I was loved so much that I did not know w
“Flowers in your office? That too such an ugly arrangement? Isn’t that a first?” commented Richard. Although his tone was tinted with amusement, there was noticeable probing inside his words.“I never thought you cared for the arrangements inside my office.” Kieran raised one of his eyebrows.The corner of his lips curled up. “Indeed. But you are acting too oddly for me to not to, Alpha. You wanted Serenity out of the pack, but all of a sudden, you are silent about it. Why?”Those grey blue eyes darkened as they narrowed on the Beta. “Are you ordering me to explain my decisions to you?”Hiding a knife behind his smile, Richard responded, “Alpha, don’t you sound a little too defensive over a simple question?”“Richard, it seems that you keep on forgetting your position. Do I have to resort to a harsher punishment, perhaps lock you up to get you to clear your head?”Knowing that it would be considered too disrespectful of him to keep on pushing the Alpha like this. Richard took a step b
This was a bad idea.Kieran would probably get another reason to prison her.And he will gladly take up on that to torture her.However, Serenity was at times prone to making foolish, impulsive decisions.“You will the reason you die one day, Serenity,” Serenity mumbled as she pushed open the door to Kieran’s office. “It seems that you haven’t been taught enough lessons yet. Was the experience in the prison last time not sufficient?”Serenity scolded herself mentally as she entered Kieran’s office. No matter how wrong her decision was, she could not hold back the nagging curiosity. She really wished that she could remain completely indifferent, but before she knew it, she ended up acting rashly.“It will only take a minute.” She will only take a glance to confirm what she heard before running away.Turning on the light, Serenity looked towards the table. The bunch of dried flowers resting on the table seemed very familiar to her. She stepped closer to the table, and her hand reached t
"The acceptance of your application to the esteemed Silverclaw Pack has been granted," informed the middle-aged man with an air of nonchalance.Although his appearance was a well-indicator of his position with a domineering aura and disciplined expression, the hint of warmth and compliment couldn't be hidden from his eyes. Etched lines on his face bore witness to the weight of his age, but they also revealed the unmistakable pride that swelled within him.At the mere utterance of those words, a pair of hazel eyes instantly ignited with radiant joy. A slender smile stretched across her lips, blossoming into a wide grin that reached the corners of her eyes, a vivid reflection of the sheer elation and excitement pulsating within her. She fought back the urge to release a joyous squeal that danced on the tip of her tongue, exerting every ounce of self-control to contain her excitement."Oh my god! Is this truly happening, Alpha?" she quivered, her voice tinged with a hint of disbelief.Fo
Serenity stood before her wooden closet. Her lips were pressed together in a thoughtful line while her hand crossed her chest, deep in contemplation. Her gaze roamed across the assortment of clothing options that lay before her, searching for the perfect selection to pack.From the information she had gathered, she knew that the climate in the Silverclaw Pack was drastically colder than her current location, with half the year blanketed in a snowy embrace. As a mere human, she was acutely aware of her vulnerability to the bitter cold, unlike the resilient and fur-cladded werewolves.She carefully chose each piece of warm attire, meticulously arranging them in her luggage next. Then, she turned her attention to gathering her other necessities, methodically cross-checking them against her list to ensure nothing vital was overlooked.A voice cut through her concentration."Are you seriously not reconsidering it?" questioned her friend after noticing her jolly friend.Serenity turned her
Serenity firmly pushed her reluctant friend out of her room by her shoulder. Jane, however, continued to protest, her voice filled with urgency, "Listen, honey, I have so much more to say!""No, absolutely not, I am not entertaining that any longer."After that, Serenity pushed her friend away from the room and locked the door behind her, shutting out the persistent sound of Jane's futile knocks. The echoes of her friend's pleas fell on deaf ears. The last thing she wanted was to be subjected to another round of nonsensical rambling.Serenity then slowly made her way into the room. Taking a deep breath, Serenity allowed herself to bask in the returning tranquility and resumed her packing with a calm mind. A melodious hum escaped her lips,Her gaze drifted to the photograph resting on the shelf, and she reached out for it. In the picture, a happy couple stood- their smiles radiant- while a little girl was present between them- a beacon of joy. They were the epitome of a blissful famil
As the sun began its descent beyond the jagged horizon, casting long shadows across the rugged mountain peaks, Serenity found herself maneuvering her car along the mountain trail. The winding path, snaking through dense forests, brought up an otherworldly atmosphere, tinged with a palpable sense of mystery and unease.The fading light saturated the surroundings with a captivating palette of deep purple and fiery orange, creating an eerie ambiance that had her be on guard. The somber hues painted the forest in an eerie glow, illuminating the gnarled trees as their shadows stretched menacingly across the narrow trail.As she drove her car on the narrow road, the woman's heart quickened with a mix of trepidation and other inexplicable emotions. Her hands tightly gripped the steering wheel- her knuckles turning white as she navigated further into the forest that only grew darker.No matter how she tried to dismiss the lingering unease that danced upon her skin, Serenity couldn't escape th
