Was this how animals in the zoos felt like?Serenity questioned in her mind in response to the scrutinizing gazes on her. The intensity of the gazes seemed to cast her as a novel specimen, subjected to the keen examination of curious scientists embarking on a discovery of the unfamiliar.A discomfort akin to being dissected under the analytical gaze of inquisitive minds settled within her.The only man out of the three cooks couldn't conceal his astonishment, blurting out, "It is really a human. This is the first time I have seen one."That almost made Serenity's jaw drop. It was fair to say that humans were more common in the outside world than werewolves. Humans can be found in almost every corner of the world. How sheltered and ignorant do you have to be in order to have never seen a human?That should never be the case unless the werewolves weren't allowed to leave their packs.However, that's absolutely nonsensical because the pack's territory could only encompass so much, and
The thick and suffocating atmosphere in the room seemed to disperse momentarily when Richard's hand landed on the Alpha's shoulder.A flicker of amusement danced in Richard's eyes as he patted Kieran's right shoulder, trying to ease the palpable strain."Now, if you keep staring at it so intently, you are going to poke a hole through it," Richard quipped. Observing Kieran's stoic demeanor, he pressed on, "I am starving just like the rest of the pack. Where is the Alpha Kieran who values time? You are not going to mull over a woman's words, are you?"Kieran's intense glare focused on Richard as he forcibly slapped away Beta's hand, pushing off the jug in his grasp. The atmosphere crackled with unspoken tension as he declared, "You are just as obnoxious as her."The smile on Richard's face deepened, and he corrected, "I would call that having a personality. Wasn't she cute?"Unfazed by his Beta's banter, Kieran withdrew into himself, tucking his hands into his pant's pockets. He walked
Janice finally remembered what she was here for.The woman assumed a stern countenance and cleared her throat before vocalizing, "Look at you wasting my time. I am here for some modifications.""Modifications?" Serenity repeated, confused. "Are you going to fix up this infirmary?"Serenity stared at the woman from top to bottom. Well, the redhead appeared to be strong although not right in the brain.That fired Janice up, and she raised her voice. "What the fuck do you mean by that?! Do I look like a mere servant here? Are you a fool or what?!"She didn't look the part for sure.Serenity gave an apologetic smile. "It was my mistake. As a human, I was taught that all jobs are the same and shouldn't be looked down upon. Werewolves have a different system going around, it seems.""Obviously, I am superior to these mere servants. I am the vice-commander of the pack. It should be an honor of a measly human like you to meet me." Janice snorted arrogantly.Serenity didn't want to deal with h
His eyes took in each of her smallest moves and changes in expression.Her breathing shortened as she raised her hand to touch her neck lightly. She pulled her lip into a thin line before resuming her original smile."Well, humans need a variety of experiences in their life to make it colorful. And you saved me. It almost made my heart flutter," Serenity commented. She thought that she was becoming a professional at pleasing her boss."You are lucky that the pack needs a doctor or else I would have been the first one to get rid of you," Kieran threatened.Serenity nodded.One thing Serenity had been really good at from a young age was observing people and knowing their emotions. Although the Alpha was good at managing his emotions, she could still make a faint idea of how his character was.Earlier, he had gotten really mad at that woman for hurting her and let her hide behind him. Even his voice that sounded so cold and rough earlier softened slightly now.He must not be completely l
After running a few tests on the boy with all the equipment present, she gave him some fever reducers, and a couple other medicines. She knew that it was important to run a blood test to get a more accurate idea of his state, but the infirmary wasn't in a proper state for her to do so."Take these for a week. And keep a close eye on his condition. Bring him to me immediately if his state worsens. The infirmary needs to be set up before conducting other tests," Serenity explained.Kate nodded."Thank you, doctor," she expressed.Serenity extended her hand to pat the boy's head and commented, "Take care of yourself. And be sure to rest well and eat well."The boy obediently nodded his head.Following that, Kate left the infirmary with her son. Seeing how it was quite late, she didn't expect to get any more patient and was about to leave when she heard the knocks on the door.She turned her head to find Richard standing there. He stepped into the room and asked, "Are you done for the day
The next couple days passed by awfully peacefully and quietly for Serenity. She had all the pack members collectively avoid her whether it was out of disdain or wary about her being a human and an outsider. No one visited the third floor, and she was left to her own devices the entire time.Although Serenity had no issue being on her own, things were being a little too boring by her standard as well. The monotonous lifestyle was getting to her bad.Serenity took her sweet time in getting dressed for the day, knowing that no one will be visiting her once again. The only reason she bothered to go to her office was because of her sense of responsibility.Most importantly, that was where her meal would be delivered.Otherwise, with how cold it is out here, she wouldn't bother to get out of the bed.The days were slowly starting to get colder. Serenity made sure to be well-insulated and put on enough layers to allow her to function well before stepping out of her room.Although the pack w
Getting into the moment with the rest of the pack, Serenity started to cheer for the werewolves she supported. Since she didn't know either of them, her reason was as shallow as how pleasing they looked in her eyes.She whistled and hollered to her content, knowing that her voice would get drowned by the loud shouts below. The rush of adrenaline travelling through her veins only hyped her up further."The Alpha and Beta will go against each other now! That's the best part!" The kid stood on his toes as his eyes remained fixated on the field."That sounds fun." Serenity grinned.She was looking forward to the Beta putting that arrogant Alpha to his place although there was hardly any chance of that happening."Beta Richard, I am on your side!" she expressed. "Go and beat him up."Creases formed between both the brows of the child while he swiftly turned his head to look at Serenity. "Do you not like the Alpha?""Why would I not like him? I like him a lot." Serenity lied without any res
A yawn left her mouth as Serenity lifted her head from the table. She stretched her arms. Resting her head on them caused ache to permeate through them. Her head felt heavy while she checked her phone to read the time.It was around two at night.Serenity turned her head to find that the window was open. The darkness outside fell into her line of sight, and there was a huge, mysterious forest on the horizon. The wind blew in, causing the curtain to dance, along with carrying the cries of various night creatures.Chill travelled down Serenity's spine, finding this to be a little creepy.Knowing that her thoughts would lead to her heart failing, she immediately got on her feet and decided to get out of this room. Thinking about how she was the only one on this floor made her even more frightened.She gulped and grabbed her phone. Taking large strides out of the room, she didn't bother to look back, feeling that there was a monster chasing after her. Anxiety crawled up against her skin,
