“Have you finally lost it?” questioned Jake with noticeable disgust in his voice.
He stared at Serenity listlessly sitting on the bed. The entire day she took a break, not willing to face other’s eyes. Thinking about the attention she will receive gave someone like her social anxiety.
“The realization that I have been badly seduced by the Alpha’s beauty is settling into me,” Serenity expressed, “it is to the point that I have forgotten about the possible consequences.”
Jake’s eyes narrowed at her. “Are you getting cold feet now?”
“It’s frostbite.” Serenity shuddered.
“Now, even if you have to cut off your feet, you can’t back out. Otherwise, the Alpha will mince you,” Jake pointed out teasingly.
“Don’t you think I know that well? When he accepted me as his mate, instead of having my heart flutter, it gave me terror. I knew I am d
Once they have reached the restaurant, Serenity stepped out of the car and entered the place. Walking over to the counter, she voiced out, “Hello.”“Yes. How may I help you?” she inquired in a calm, professional tone.“My boyfriend left his phone here earlier. I received a call asking me to come and collect it,” Serenity explained.The woman nodded thoughtfully before glancing at a nearby waiter. “He will lead you to where it is,” she said, gesturing toward the man.Serenity murmured thanks and followed after the man. The man led her to the staircase that head towards the main floor of the restaurant. The lights were turned off. The dim surroundings made her pause, her brows furrowing in confusion. “Excuse me,” she began her voice tentative as she turned to address the waiter, but to her surprise, he was gone. Serenity turned around to search for him.That is when the soft golden lights were turned on, casting a warm glow, and soft violin music played in the background, creating a mag
For these two days, Serenity noticed that Kieran have been distracted by his phone. It was odd to find him being on his phone all the time, seeming to chat with someone, and occasionally, he made calls. And every time she tried to question him on what it was, he seemed to be avoiding answering her directly.This made her wonder whether or not he had gotten into any kind of trouble.However, no matter how she tried to probe, she could not get a clue on what was happening.Tonight, they were supposed to watch a movie together. However, Serenity was sure that Kieran had no clue what the plot was about since he was so enamored by the device in his hand.“Isn’t this scene so depressing?” Serenity questioned. In her hand was a bowl of popcorn, and there was a frown on her face.Kieran slightly raised his head to look at her and said, “Huh, yeah,” before going back to his phone.This completely set Serenity off. She slammed the bowl on the table, making loud noise, and she glared at the Alph
Serenity was inherently a lazy person to begin with. Because she was afraid of missing Kieran and being worried about everyone, she kept herself occupied with work for so long. Now that everything had come to a peace, the long hours of working as a doctor was a little too taxing for her soul.Serenity leaned against the couch and groaned. “Should I just quiet and go back with you to your pack? Anyways, you can afford to raise me,” Serenity suggested.Kieran, who was working on his laptop, did not look up and responded, “Were you not determined to stay here and develop your career like an independent woman? I support you. Don’t worry.”Serenity furrowed her brows. “I change my mind. Am I not allowed to do that? Working like these every day for long hours, I don’t even feel like living anymore. This is killing all my passion.”Amusement crossed through Kieran’s eyes as he turned his head to look at her after her dramatic words. “Is it that bad?”Serenity nodded her head.“I get you, Ser
Almost two weeks had passed since Kieran came here. Throughout this entire time, Serenity and Kieran had small fights with Serenity starting those most of the time and Kieran simply tolerating her temper. Other than that, they have been peaceful.Since Kieran was here now, fine and healthy, and everything was alright between them, Jane thought that she shouldn’t be overstaying her welcome. As she would only be getting in between the couple, she decided to return.Serenity felt guilty at that since her friend had come here for her sake, and she was not able to do anything. Jane only laughed at her emotions, calling her a fool and telling her that the best thing would be for her and Kieran to peacefully settle. The two of them had gone through a lot of things.That was what Serenity hoped for as well.As Serenity finished taking her shower at night, she smiled at Kieran who was busy in the kitchen. Never did she think that she would be able to domesticate such a mighty Alpha. A recent h
There was confusion in the Alpha’s eyes as he stared at his mate.“Serenity that… isn’t it too abrupt?”Serenity stared at him startled and scoffed. “What are you feeling shy for? You had no issue roaming topless in front of the entire pack before.”“Well, you are right.”As she watched him slowly take off his shirt, it felt as though she was harassing him, and spoke out, “Alpha, I only want to check up on your injuries. I heard from my brother that you are gravely hurt. That is it.”Hearing that, Kieran was about to put his shirt back. He said, “There is no need for you to do that? I am almost fine.”However, not giving him the chance to do that, she pulled away his shirt. Seeing how his upper body was covered with thick bandages, she could only imagine how bad his wounds might have been. There was a thick scar that ran across his shoulder that was yet to heal. Knowing how as the Alpha he had great healing powers, for these to take so much time, she could picture the life and death s
Serenity frowned when she noticed tha she received a call from an unknown number after midnight, but remembering how she told Kieran to have her brother call her, she received the call.“Serenity, you are still awake,” Richard softly said. His voice held a bit of guilt and fear in them.Serenity sneered. “Look who is alive. I hought you were dead by now given the silence from you.”“It is not that I have not been wanting to call you. It is just that I have been so busy every day that I keep putting it off. Look, now that the Alpha is no longer in the pack, all the responsibilities of the pack have fallen on my shoulder. I know you are my sensible little sister and understand my position, right?” Richard tried to get her to calm down.This only infuriated Serenity further. “Oh? Is that so? If you are crammed with so much important tasks, why did you have to call me now? Let me hang up. After all, I do not fall in those important categories, and therefore, I have no right to waste your
