The sharp pain permeating through her forehead woke Serenity up. She furrowed her eyebrows as she squinted her eyes open. However, a strong force prevented her from opening mouth. Finding her entire body restricted, her eyes turned wide in alertness."Ummm!" Serenity tried to speak through the tape that was plastered across her face.Looking around frantically, she noticed that she was in the back seat of the car. Panic started to settle within her as the ideas of the worst possible situations started to emerge in her head.What is it?Could it be that she was getting kidnapped?Wasn't she with Kieran yesterday? It wasn't possible for anyone to bypass him and take her away.However, what if it is him who sold her off to human traffickers? Could he be that vicious?Horror started to spread through her being as bullets of cold sweats gather
Serenity's tone made him almost believe that she probably had a side career as an actress.His furrowed brows displayed well the discomfort that spread over him, and he pulled his hand away from her immediately, taking a step away from her."Stop that," he warned."Now, don't be mad, darling. I know I was wrong, alright? I won't ask you buy the dress for me," Serenity voiced out.Afraid of her mouth babbling anymore nonsense, Kieran grabbed her hand and stated, "Let's get out of here."As she was being pulled along, she said, "What about the dress?"Feeling a headache forming, Kieran raised his voice. "Just get it!"Serenity chuckled and handed the dress over to the saleswoman. Once the packing of the dress was done, Serenity grabbed all the bags from the countertop and stepped out from the store with her head raised high.
"Right. If you are so confident about it, who am I to stop you. Even if you die, what has that got to do with me? In fact it will make me happy. And it's not like they are my enemies. They are after you. It's not right for me to leave," Serenity said before pressing on to the accelerator of the car.As Kieran said, he distracted the werewolves away from the car. He transformed into his beastly form, dealing with other fellow werewolves.The sight of it daunted Serenity, and her survival instincts made her want to run away as fast as possible.She was only a human.It's not like she would be able to get in between those monstrous figures.The brutality made her clutch tightly onto the steering wheel. She found herself in a daze. For a second, she truly felt as though she had been living in a sheltered world.She didn't think such vicious encounters exist
As Kieran drove the car steadily, Serenity put the medicine over her wound and started to bandage her wrist. Doing things one hand made her a little clumsy, and it took time.However, that was the perfect distraction she needed to postpone discussing the gravity of the situation with Kieran. The silence she received from Kieran only caused her nerves to get more and more jittery.He wasn't planning to kill her and dump her body on the way, right?It wasn't like him to be so quiet.But since the man wasn't making any moves, she didn't want to provoke him further as well.The car stopped when it reached the pack, and Kieran turned to look at her. He then ordered, "Leave everything behind, and enter the pack. If anything potentially harmful is found on you, you will be questioned like someone intending to harm the pack."Disbelief was written in Serenity's eyes
Serenity shook her head."If you wanted to, you could have killed me way earlier," Serenity expressed."But one day, I will," Kieran replied.Serenity's eyes followed him as he got up the stairs, and she questioned, "Where are you going, Alpha?""To the infirmary."Confusion was written all over her face. "Why?"She noticed his line of sight that fell on her bleeding knees and understood his intention. She didn't think he would take her into consideration and was ready for him to scold her back to her room."Right."Serenity took a step up the stair before sharp pain travelled through her leg, but she managed to control her expression. While climbing the stairs, she limped behind the Alpha, and her slow movement caused the gap between them to increase.When Kieran turned back to look at her state,
Serenity rested her face on the palm while watching the show play on her laptop. Opened packs of snacks laid all over her office's table, creating a messy state.Hearing the knocks on her door, Serenity lazily replied, "You may enter.""Serenity."Beta's voice made Serenity turn her head, and a smile formed on her face. She voiced out, "What do you need me for, Beta?""I heard that you got injured. How is your wrist?" Richard's tone was laced with concern as he looked down at her wrist."You're the first to be concerned. It will take three weeks max if I take good care of it and not irritate it," Serenity answered.Staring at her in dissatisfaction, Richard reproached, "You acted quite foolishly yesterday. There was no need for you to put your life at risk and help Kieran, you know? Instead of being thanked, you even got your weapons confiscated."
A yawn left Serenity's mouth. Both the girls were too energetic. Playing cards excited them a lot, and they stayed awake until they heard the werewolves gather for morning practice. Only after that, they left— not because they were exhausted but because of getting caught. Serenity truly hoped that they wouldn't get caught because she didn't want to lose such a valuable source of information. Although Emma was stern and had tight lips, Lila, on the other hand, was easier to go around. She got to learn a lot of things and also understood that Lila would be the best person to get all the pack secrets out from. She needed to have an alone moment with the woman where she wouldn't be disrupted by Emma. There was a cunning glint in Serenity's eyes. She planned to go to bed when Jake knocked on her door and entered. There was a mischievous smile with a playful twinkle in his eyes that she had no positive feelings about. "Doc, may I enter?" asked Jake. "What do you want?" Serenity que
"You know better than me— the condition of the pack. None of the doctors sent here lived long. I am curious. Until how much longer does the Alpha plan to keep you alive," Jake stated. "Well, I might be the anomaly and survive," Serenity replied in a challenging tone. Serenity cracked her shoulder and stretched her arms as she walked into her office. It had been a long time since she had worked so hard, and after the sleepless night, she needed time to rest. Once the midnight arrived, Serenity knew that everyone had already gone to bed by now. Stepping out of her office, her eyes wandered around to confirm that no one was out there. Relieved at the peace, the corner of her lips curled up into a smile. She sneakily and carefully made her way over to the fourth floor, where the Alpha resided at. Yesterday, she learned from the girls that the Alpha was going out of the pack for the night. Taking advantage of his absence, Serenity planned to enter his office to get the CCTV footage. S
