Chapter Eight. Serena’s POV The Pack I had always seen on the news looking so grand, so powerful like a fortress of strength was nothing like the nightmare before me now. My rib cage was in pains at the mare sight of what was going on before me. The air was thick with gunpowder, choking my lungs as I inhaled the chaos. The sky which were littered with stars, was now a swirling mess of black smoke and red flames licking at the edges of the Pack houses. Screams echoed in the distance, blending with the relentless gunfire that rattled through the air. The scent of burning wood mixed with the sickly metallic tang of blood made me bite my tongue hard but I didn't feel pain. What on earth have I gotten myself into? But then…. A loud crack shattered the windshield. I let out a scream as the glass exploded into a million sharp pieces and pierced My skin, My arms flew up instinctively, but before I could react, a large, clawed hand shot through the broken window and yanked me out of
Chapter Nine Damien’s POV Her scream startled me.I just wanted to smash his brain to pieces but I was a fool for thinking that she would take that lightly seeing how shaken she was.“You can breathe now Princess, I won't do it.” My jaw twitched as I saw the Numskull that caused this while scenario.I knew exactly where the attack had come from. Vincent Kane, The bastard was bold and very reckless,to think that I expected him to try something eventually, but this? Attacking my Pack? Dragging my mate into it before she even had a chance to set foot in my world properly? That was a whole new level of stupidity. Not that I gave a damn about her. Serena was only my redemption to the throne. A means to an end. The one thing keeping me from losing my claim over Syndicate Fangs. And yet… Something inside me twisted at the thought of her seeing this side of me or that wasted pig fucking her through his eyes. My wolf growled low in my head, pacing with irritation. “She’s our mat
Chapter Ten Serena’s POV I woke up feeling... different. Not necessarily better, but at least I wasn’t shaking anymore. The room I was in was enormous—easily ten times the size of my actual room back in Lupine Pack. Everything about it screamed wealth. From the high ceiling with a crystal chandelier to the massive windows draped in velvet curtains, to the dark wooden floors and a bed so soft I could sink into it for days. I pushed myself up, rubbing my eyes as the memories of last night flooded back. The attack. The gunfire. Vincent Kane. And Damien. The beautiful monster who barely batted an eye at the chaos around us. The Psychopath who made me tremble at his touch shamelessly and begged, no man, none of my mates brought out such a desire in me.I shivered in self disgust and tried to look for guilt in me but my wolf snapped at me, letting me face the reality that this psychopath was our mate. I was here. In his world. And there was no way out. I glanced at the bedside
CHAPTER ELEVEN Damien’s POV “What the fuck are you doing?” I couldn't hide my irritation as it simmered through my voice. I know I was a clusterfuck when it comes to my desires but she broke every resolve last night, fuck this silly bond but if there's one thing I knew about Serena was she was always moody and feisty with me, she never smile but always ready to stuck a dagger in my what if give the opportunity.She wasn't supposed to come to my Pack and witness a blood bath, that was totally unacceptable and uncalled for and may the Moons help them to be found, I'll show them massacre.And the moment I stepped into the living room, my jaw locked. Serena was laughing. Not just laughing but glowing. Her eyes were bright, her body language open as she sat across from my father, talking animatedly about something I didn’t care to understand. She looked so damn comfortable. It pissed me off. She had never once looked at me like that. Never smiled at me like I was something worth her at
Damien's Pov And just when I was about to say something more, a loud knock echoed from the door which made me turn sharply. My anger increased at the interruption but I swung the door open to reveal Zayn, "Damien,"We’ve got a problem." He said with urgency and I shook my head turning to Serena who was now standing across the room, her arms crossed over her chest. I could see the confusion on her face. "Not now," I snapped, his voice sharp. "This is personal." Zayn’s expression didn’t change. "It’s about Vincent. He’s made his move. You need to handle it. Now." Fuck! I was hoping for more time, but the truth was, there was no more room for hesitation. The ritual had to be completed for peace to reign and Vincent wasn’t going to make it easy. I turned back to Serena,"Stay here," I commanded. "Don’t fucking move." "Where?" I turned to ask my beta who opened the door for me as I walked out. "Warehouse district, near the docks. He sent some of his dogs to ‘deliver a message’, they'r
Chapter 13**Serena’s POV** “You fucking did what?” He roared at me as the tremor of his voice boomed across the room.“That wasn't your medications Damien, it was a fucking Narcotic, cocaine and some hard drugs .”“And how the fuck is that your goddamn business Serena, do you have any idea what you did?” I swallowed and bit my lips hard, I was only trying to avoid him from taking it if I'm going to be anywhere around him. “ And how the fuck did you know about the medicine!” He growled, I could see his wolf practically surging out at me that I don't know if he was mad or excited.“I've worked in the club before, I knew this things” “And you decided to be fucking nosy? Do you fucking know what you've done, who the fuck owns that package and the millions it cost?” Fear gripped my soul as he said those words, he was mad. His nose flared on his pretty face and as he stepped closer, blood drained on my face as his hands gripped me tightly till he pushed me to the wall.“I didn't want y
Serena's PovDamien was dangerous. That much, I knew. But what I wasn’t prepared for was how my body reacted to him. It was really infuriating. The way his dominance wrapped around me like an iron chain and the way my skin burned when he touched me was too real, I felt starved and the worst thing was he was doing this to let me know that I'm helpless.“Get on the bed.” His voice was dark and consuming. Nothing else mattered in the world anymore aside from his intense stare and teasing on my skin. I swallowed hard and obeyed quietly, being male was normal for the wolves but I don't think that's the case with me right now, I was sweating and shaking under his intense stare.“Whatever you do, touching me or yourself is out of the box.”“What? What do you mean?” I asked him in confusion as I watched him take off the belt if his trousers and raw fear mixed with excitement enveloped my skin.“What I mean is that, those tiny hands stays in place while you watch what I do you”“Dam.. Damien?
Serena's Pov “Tell me you want it, Serena.” His gaze on me was dark and sensual, I was covered in sweat , my nipples were highly sensitive and my vision blurred as I felt a slap on my pussy with the edge of the belihe used.“Yes.” I groaned, gripping the sheets tightly as my head was thrown to the back, if this was the punishment he was talking about then he's right. I need him to just fucking thrust, get me to it and make me fucking come.“Yes what?” “Can you just stop and do it , you're hard too. You want this more than me so stop faking it to make me look desperate.”I hissed, staring at the slant bulge of his cock and he smirked.”“Not as much as you want this right now princess.” He spanked my ass hard again and I trembled, his other hand was on the edge of the belt, slapping my pussy softly repeatedly until I could no longer take it.“Do it Damien.” I breathed heavily and cupped my breasts hard which made his eyes widened for a second before it went dark again.“I said no touc
Damien's Pov I yelled at Vincent and he smirked, pinned Serena to his body.Her hands were tied and her lips were trembling with her eyes wide and a goddamn gun was pressed to her head.I took a nasty step to meet him but that same moment, someone slammed a pipe into the back of my knee and I went down.A scream ripped out of her throat and I felt enraged not from the stab but where when stabbed me because it would be difficult to heal. I tried to get up, but another strike came and my ribs cracked. “Tsk, tsk, Alpha Damien. Look at you. On your knees for a woman.” Vincent smirked with smile whispering into Serena's ears.“I’ll kill you,” I growled, spitting blood on the floor.He chuckled. “You said that already.”“Touch her again, and I’ll skin you alive,” I snarled in pain, looking for anything to distract him while it fucking slowly heals.“Such a devotion,” he smirked, then waved to one of his men.The guy stepped forward with a knife.I lunged, even on my knees and half-broken
Damien's Pov We had barely reached the warehouse when the wind carried the smell of smoke long before we saw the flames.Something felt off even before I left and I hated it. That eerie, cold twist in my gut. It wasn’t even about the fire. It wasn’t the silence on the line when I tried to call Serena for the fourth damn time. It was like my soul was pulling me in the opposite direction. I clenched my jaw, scanning the road as we drove. My wolf was restless, pacing under my skin, whispering her name like it was the only word left in the universe.I suddenly pulled the brakes hard.“Zayn,” I muttered, gripping the wheel tightly. “You need to go back.”Zayn’s brows pulled together. “We’re almost there, Damien. Don’t start.”“I’m serious. Go back.”“Why? So you can walk into hell alone? No.” He crossed his arms with his jaw firm.“Zayn—”“No,” he snapped. “This attack is mine too. You keep pushing me back like I’m some damn coward. I’m your Beta, not your bodyguard.”I slammed the door o
Serena's Pov They all left in a hurry, rushing like any more second would make everything collapse.Before I could puzzle it out, a familiar voice made my blood run cold."Well, well. Look who's back."I turned to find my stepsisters, Elena and Sloane, emerging from the shadows of the corridor. They'd been suspiciously quiet all day, and now I understood why—they'd been waiting and plotting theirs as if it would be any different."Where have you two vipers been hiding?" I asked, instinctively taking a defensive stance.Elena smirked, tossing her long blonde hair over her shoulder. "Watching you ruin everything, as usual. You really are a witch, aren't you? Poor Damien isn't even thinking straight anymore because of you.""Fuck off," I growled. "I don't have time for your games.""Oh, we can't do that," Sloane purred, stepping closer. Her sleek black hair framed a face that could have been beautiful if not for the cruelty in her eyes. "Not when you've made such a terrible mistake.""
Serena's Pov “I'll be back Damien, please just a moment with–”“I don't bloody care, don't fucking leave that door with Vincent!” He roared at me like a mad animal and my heart twisted, could he not think of it that way. I needed to talk to Vincent too, I need to confirm and set things right not to cause any misunderstanding and seeing that he was blind to all of that, I held Vincent's hand and walked outside l.The moment we stepped outside the mansion, Vincent grabbed my arm and shoved me against the rough stone wall. His eyes glowed amber as his wolf pushed to the surface, teeth elongating as he snarled in my face."What the fuck are you doing staying with Damien when we clearly had an agreement?" he growled, his breath hot on my face.I pushed back against his chest, refusing to be intimidated by his silky tantrums and fake concerns.. "It wasn't an agreement, Vincent. I was forced to say those things because of the situation and you freaking know that."His laugh was cold and hol
Damien's PovI couldn't help the smile that spread across my face when Serena slapped Ivy so hard she toppled off her chair. My little mate had fire in her and it's precisely what this pack needed in a Luna. Watching her drag Ivy back up by that ridiculously expensive dress and threaten her sent a surge of pride through my chest. If only she'd hit her again."Please, Alpha," one of the maids sobbed, falling to her knees before me. "We don't want to die. Have mercy!"Another was hunched over a decorative vase, emptying the contents of her stomach. The sound of retching filled the dining hall as panic spread among them like wildfire. Their faces had gone pale, eyes wide with terror—all because they believed I'd poisoned them.Fucking Fools. All of them."Get up," I commanded, my voice cutting through their pathetic cries. "I haven't poisoned anyone."The room fell silent except for a few hiccuping sobs."What?" one of them whispered, voice trembling.I leaned back in my chair, enjoying
Serena’s Pov My heart pounded in my chest as I watched Damien interact with the maids. The easy smile on his face, the way he laughed at their jokes, the casual touches—it all seemed so genuine that for a moment, I questioned whether I had misunderstood his intentions.“I meant behaviours for the benefit of this pack, don't worry please eat up.” He smiled but it was the fakest thing I've ever noticed"More wine, Alpha?" one of the maids simpered, leaning forward to give him a better view of her cleavage."Thank you, Lily," Damien replied smoothly, holding out his glass. His eyes flickered to mine briefly, and I caught a hint of something mischievous beneath his charming facade.When he caught me staring, his lips curved into a knowing smirk. I quickly looked away as heat rushed to my cheeks. This whole situation was making me uneasy. One minute he was declaring me as his mate, and the next he was flirting with the maids who had tormented me for months.What game is he playing? I wond
Serena's Pov I didn't know what Damien was up to but I leaned against the dining room doorway, watching the scene unfold with a mixture of disbelief and growing unease. The maids who had been in the dungeon, especially the very same ones who had sneered at me now sat around the Alpha's dining table dressed in clothes that probably cost more than everything I owned combined."Look at her face," one whispered loudly enough for me to hear. "She finally realizes her time is over."Another snickered. "After all, why would the Alpha keep her around when he's chosen someone worthy of his status?"I bit my lip hard, the metallic taste of blood filling my mouth with my wolf growled inside me. I shouldn't be standing her like this, I'm already tired of their rants and accusations thrown at me.“Keep calm”, I told my wolf This might be nothing serious.“Nothing serious?” my wolf scoffed. “ Open your eyes, Serena. Look around you.”The dining hall had been transformed. Crystal glasses sparkled u
Serena I couldn’t breathe at all.The weight of his words to Ivy played on repeat in my head like a broken, cursed record. “Wear something nice.” My heart cracked again. No matter how I tried to push it away, that sentence kept clawing at me. Was that what he said to me the first time he wanted me? Was that all I was to him? A pretty object to show off? A fucking costume to undress at night and forget by morning?My wolf growled deep inside me. She was seething, pacing in fury. Ivy? That traitorous she-wolf? That plastic, wide-smiled seductress who once watched me get whipped and laughed?My claws almost pushed through my skin as I bit my lip to stop myself from crying out.I shot up from the bed, not even caring that I was wearing nothing but one of his oversized black shirts that barely reached mid-thigh. No bra. No slippers. My bare feet hit the cold marble like a damn storm. Let them stare, Let them see the supposed "Luna" of the most feared Alpha in the werewolf world march thr
Damien’s POVI woke up to the feel of her heartbeat against my chest.Serena.She was curled up beside me, her lashes fluttering slightly in her sleep, her scent was so calm and innocent. My jaw twitched just looking at her. It wasn’t right, none of this was at all.She should never have gone through what she did beginning from this Pack, the kidnapping, accusations and threats from my own father. And definitely not Vincent.The thought of that bastard proposing to her made my blood boil. If I ever saw him again, I wouldn’t stop at just breaking bones.I brushed her hair back gently from her cheek and kissed her forehead. She let out a soft sigh and pressed in closer, mumbling something I couldn’t quite hear. My fingers curled around her waist, holding her tight. I hated that she lost the camera. Not because it was the only evidence we had, but because of how broken she looked when she told me. A soft vibration buzzed against the nightstand. I reached for my phone.Zayn: The maid
