The Lake

Elena POV

Serenity and I met up with Tyler, Nate, and Damien to sneak out of the gardens and headed straight to the lake. We had to be careful as Rogues could wonder freely on the other side of the water. The lake was the border lines of our territory. Rogues rarely ever crossed and had to be very foolish to try and attack 3 Alpha males.

The King put all his territories on high alert due to a few attacks close to the river and now that we had two major events approaching. My 18th birthday meant it was outsiders last chance to try and kill me before I took the throne, and the induction ceremony meant more members they didn't want were being added to the High Council.

Desperate wolves would try to take advantage of the crowded events to take out someone powerful. Anything to tip the scales would be worth it to them.

The second I saw the rippling blue waters I peeled off my dress and dived in. Today was about being a carefree kid without any of those fears or responsibilities. Seren
