Serenity POV Shit. I didn’t mean to say that. Ever since I woke up, I feel like I can't keep my damn mouth shut. I am snapping at everyone and feel like my emotions are running at 100. When Tony barrelled down the stairs with all her energy, I just let her engulf me in a hug. All I wanted to do was comfort my father, but I had caused him pain. All I ever do is cause the people around me pain. Tony sways me around a little, but I can't hear a word she is saying, as I watch my father go to the Luna office. When am I ever going to stop hurting people? Tony pulls away from me with her bright brown eyes, and long brown hair flowing around her face. She is all smiles, and I am trying to hold back tears. “So, it's probably going to be nuts today but when things calm down, we should definitely have a girl's day. Just you and me. We can escape the testosterone twins and have some fun for once. Yeah?” she says brightly, and I try to manage a weak smile to her. “Erm, yeah. Of course, T
Serenity’s POV Following some disapproving looks from my father for my lack of appetite and a nice casual chat around the breakfast table with my aunties and uncles, my father stood up. “White Moon Pack. Thank for you your patience this week.” he said to those in the room aloud and opened the pack link to share his speech with all of our members. My father would never hide thing from them, and I assume this was just another show of his effort for honesty and transparency. “Some of you are aware that my pup was hospitalised this week. She is now home and doing very well.” he says and smiles down at me. I hear a flood of well wishes into the pack link, so I stand up, next to my father. This is my role. This is what I was born for. This is why I chose to return. To be the Alpha they deserve, so I won't fail them now as they are facing uncertainty and worry. “Thank you, White Moon, and I promise to speak to you and see you all soon. You have no idea how much your well wishes and p
Myles POV Well, this is uncomfortable. I want to shift in my seat or something to alleviate the stress I am feeling but I can't. I have to be professional. I have to be the Beta she needs me to be right now. I have to make my dad proud. I glance over at him briefly as the Alpha lays out what he wants from the council and can see he is feeling pretty similar to how I am. We aren't used to this. This isn't how our pack works usually. The Alpha and his Luna sit at this table and make the decisions and hold the discussion, so there is no remit for what we can or cannot do here. Can I speak if I feel I should? Do I just sit here to support her? I mean, I don’t care if I have to sit silently, I just want to know what my place is here. Ren sits back in her chair and slides her hands to her lap, and I feel I can release a breath I have been holding unconsciously. I suddenly feel her place a hand on my leg, just above my knee and I snap my eyes to her. She doesn’t look at me, just opens a m
Alpha Sams POV I watched as the young Beta dragged Ren out of the room, disliking his hands on her again. This was going to drive me crazy. I know he said he was just being a friend and Beta to her... at least for this year... and i was grateful she had someone to be there for her, but I can't help it. I want to rip his arms off and beat him with them whenever he touches her. ‘Leave them alone stupid. He is trying to look after her. She needs him’ Spear says to me rolling his eyes. I can't help it. Ever since I figured out how badly I had fucked up with my daughter, my protective Alpha behaviour has been out of control. I sit back down next to Mylo as the doors click shut once again and I can no longer see my pup. I sigh out a heavy breath and lean back in my chair. ‘Car, Tom, get your asses over here please.’ I say to my unit in a mind link. Mylo looks over at me shocked. ‘You don’t have to do this Sam. We know you value our input. We don’t have to sit at this table to know it.
Serenity POV He pushed me into the pack house wall outside the back door and closed me in. The Alpha genes in me bristled slightly at his actions. Unfortunately, my wolf was currently belly up and panting like a horn dog. I look up into his beautiful blue eyes and try to hold myself steady. “You are changing the game here Se and you haven't told us the rules.” he says in a deep voice that makes me feel a little weak. “What are you talking about Myles?” I ask him confusedly. “You put me in the seat next to you as if I am your equal in there. What was that?” he asks me, scrutinising my face. I must genuinely look as confused as I feel as he continues. “Our pack never has lower ranked wolves at the conference table unless they are being interviewed. What happened in there?” he asks me. “You are my equal Le. In there any everywhere. I couldn’t be an Alpha without you. Without your support and guidance. Sitting in that room with a bunch of Alpha’s won't change that.” I tell him and
Alpha Sams POV “Or my pack is. They stood outside that hospital together. Hundreds of wolves. Praying to the Goddess for my daughters healing. We all stood there and watched them hold candles and moon flowers, praying for my daughter's recovery. They, just like us, knew it didn’t look good. She had lost a lot of blood, had damage to two major organs, and had multiple wounds covered her body. The people of this pack came out and stood vigil. Suddenly, she was healed by the Goddess. I don't think that a coincidence. Do you?” I ask Dom and Darrius in challenge. “It was your daughter that was healed. Not this pack. I think she is blessed, and you don’t want to report it to the council.” Dom says with a smirk I want to wipe off his face. “Jealousy of the Goddess favouring my pack is a strange colour on you Dom. We as a pack were deemed worthy of her favour. Have you ever received a blessing from her?” I ask with all the snark I can muster. Mylo snorts beside me, trying to hold back his
Sequoia POV After that daft Alpha left the office, I went back in. I need to keep distance between us. I had become an expert at crafting space between us. I start filing all the paperwork that had been placed on the desk. I needed to organise something to get my mind straight. Maybe I should leave the pack for a while... visit my sister at the Nighthaven Pack. Alpha Henry is here already so it would be easy to ask permission for an extended visit. I can't reopen the hope and longing. My wolf and I can't take it. ‘He might realise once this is done Quoi.’ My wolf Seraphina says with a whimper. ‘He won't. There is nothing to realise. I can't live in that space anymore Phia. I just can't. He doesn’t even say my actual name for Goddess sakes. I mean nothing to him. Never have. Never will. With all this going on, its opening too many wounds. Let's just get some space for a little.’ I beg her. I am too old for this drama. Everyone knows me as Flora the housekeeper. My father transfer
Serenity POV I had been sat listening to her talk about her plans to adopt a pup as I peeled apples at the kitchen side. I was so happy for her, but more than anything, I was happy for whichever pup she takes home. They are so lucky to have her as a mother. “Are you going to ask Mia and Tia to keep an eye open for a baby for you, or are you happy to have an older child?” I ask her, genuinely curious. “Oh, no, I think I would rather adopt an older child that needs a loving forever home. I want to give a child all of the love that I can.” she says with a smile. I am bursting with happiness, and as she caramelises the apples for her pie, I run around the island and hug her tightly from behind. A tear runs down my cheek with pure love and happiness for her. “Quoi, I am so happy for you! I am so happy for the pup you adopt. They are so lucky to have a mother like you” I say with a shaky voice. She turns and pulls me into a crushing hug, and I smile into her shoulder. “I have thoug
