last update Last Updated: 2025-03-02 20:01:13
SERENA'S POV

I looked at Derrick, my body shaking with incredulity, rage and something else I couldn't quite put my finger on. betrayal. And that was it. betrayal.

I wanted to slap him. Yes, that was how I felt. How dare he? All these lies were making me go mad. I didn't know if I was to cry, to laugh, to yell at him.

First I had a mate who left me for another and now I had another mate who keeps things from me.

Wow.

I first learned—not from him but from another woman—that he was the Alpha of a strong pack. Then I learned that ever since he saved me from those rogue wolves in the forest he had known I was his mate.

And now here we were looking at each other and his deceit was like a boulder pressing down on my chest.

I trembled as I whispered .

“Say that again.”

Derricks jaw tightened as he let out a sharp exhale. “Serena as soon as I saw you I knew you were my mate. The night I rescued you. I was following the scent and I saw you.”

A scathing, dry laugh came out

    SERENA'S POV I exhaled and I stared at my fingersSadly the past has a way of entangling itself in the present. I could never get rid of it no matter how hard I tried to push it to the back of my mind. Elliot had left me so broken that loving again was like gambling and I wasn't sure if I wanted to love again.And here was Derrick, my heart was beating. I never imagined telling Derrick about my mate, Elliot the person who turned me down and threw me away as if I were unimportant, like I was just a piece of trash that should be taken out immediately and how foolish I was that I had allowed me make love to me and now I was carrying his child.As I relived the pain however my voice trembled and I muttered the words one after the other. “He didnt want me.” I muttered my throat aching from the memories. “ I thought that he did, like I was the best thing that had ever happened to him.But then everything changed and he claimed that I wasn't deserving of him.

    SERENA'S POV I swallowed hard, my hands balled into fists at my sides and I turned away. I had the feeling that I was wading through an impossible phase of my life with each step I took toward the door. I had to get out of my heart before it engulfed me in its battleground of opposing emotions.I quickly wiped my face, took a sniff and lifted my head and told myself that crying won't solve this, that crying won't stop him from rejecting me if he wanted to.He grabbed my hand as my fingers touched the doorknob. “Serena. “ He called,his voice was rough, low and laced with rawness, a desperate sound which I didn't want to hear at all. My breathing was too shallow and too rapid and I froze, not out of fear but because I didn't know what to do, to go out or to stand here and listen to what he had to say.But I didn't want to. Even though I wanted to run out of that door, something was stopping me, holding me from doing so. Because I knew that I would fall if I did. “Derrick let me go

    Serena's pov I was warmed when I awoke. But the sun and his arms around me made me feel so safe and warm that I wanted to go back to sleep. His breath was gentle against the back of my neck as his arms were firmly encircling me. I stayed motionless for a moment and then I shut my eyes briefly.His grip was firm as if he wanted to keep me safe while he slept. And a tiny dangerous part of me didn't want to go, I was supposed to feel that this shouldn't have happened but I didn't. I lay there and looked up at the ceiling. Although I felt calm, my heart was already pounding. His lips, his hands and the way he gazed at me as though I were something he had been waiting for, were all fragments of last night that came back to me. And I smiled at the memory.“Stop shoving him away.” I said to myself. I wasn't sure how to feel in the morning silence. But last night was a mistake. I squeezed my eyes closed. I never wanted to think that way.However the truth thumped loudly in my chest like

Since the first knock, my heart has continued to race. Something was strange and quite urgent. I cast a quick glance over his shoulder as he opened the door. One of his warriors, I believe his name was Jonas, was standing there. I sighed in relief and tried to make out what he was about to say.He was usually serious and calm but now his breathing was rapid and his eyes were wide. With one respectful nod he said “Greetings, Alpha, we have spotted rogues.”“What are you saying?” Derrick said, his face quite unreadable.“Close to the eastern boundary and surprisingly, they are more powerful this time. Better-organized.” Derrick's face instantly changed. “What is the number?”“We’re not sure yet.” he said in a very small voice which was barely above a whis

    Serena's pov My tiny window let in the morning sun which kissed my skin with an uncommon warmth. I stared at the dress on the wall, a delicate white silk gown with lace that shimmered in the light and my heart raced.It was my outfit for the bonding ceremony. Everything was meant to change for me today, marking the beginning of a new chapter. I shakily exhaled as I rubbed the plush fabric with my fingers. It was unheard of for an Omega like me to mate with an Alpha .Almost everyone detested and made fun of me because I was the lowest of the low in the pack. This union however was meant to change that. " Serena!" a stern voice yelled.from outside my door I recoiled. Liam's mother Luna Marissa was here already.Since the announcement, she had hardly spoken to me and always did so in a chilly and abrupt manner. "Yes Luna?" I returned the call as I hurried from my tiny room. She gave me a contemptuous look as her keen eyes took in my unassuming features." Three hours from now the

    I sat on the wet forest floor gazing at the moon through the trees, hardly noticing the cold night. I was even tired of crying and my eyes hurt like a thousand needles had pierced them.My dress which was now filthy and wrinkled held on to me like a memento of the cancelled ceremony. I swallowed hard. If someone had told me that the love of my life would toss me aside like yesterday's trash, I wouldn't have believed it at all.The embarrassment was still vivid and my heart felt like it had been broken into a million fragments and my chest tightened again and again, making it difficult for me to breathe. Long after everyone had gone back to their packhouse, I had remained out here. Hiding and praying that no one finds me here, if not they had taken pictures, posted it on social media and made me beg for death.Ever since,my parents died at twelve years old. The only love I got from the world was from Liam but now thinking about it I felt if all it was a lie.I dreaded going home, I w

    Our unbearably long silence was laced with tension and unsaid words.I had finally had to meet Liam, I was just too angry to keep quiet and let him disgrace me and cast me out like I didn't matter.Liam looked so guilty and for a while I wanted to know if he's going to kneel and beg me for forgiveness and say that everything that had happened were just pranks.I wiped my tears with my sleeves and looked away.I looked away, too angry to stare at him.I wanted an explanation and nothing else. He could take his love and give it to someone else I cared less about it.His voice was soft as he called my name and took little steps towards me."Serena." He said "Liam, please." I said in a very low voice as if raising my voice would break the thin thread that held me together. I shook my head. "Whatever you want to say, save it. Liam, don't try to explain your love for me. You made a decision. I heard it all. But I want to ask what did I do to deserve this?"He scowled and moved in clos

Everything happened so fast that I didn't see it coming.My cheek ached from the slap but the empty uncaring expression in Derrick's eyes hurt even more. He didn't even stop her, he just stood there staring at us as if everything was like a movieHe didn't speak at all. Touching my face with my palm against the burned imprint left behind made my breath hitches in my throat .The woman who hit me came even closer , her eyes blazing with rage. She spit out in a venomous voice .“How dare you address the Alpha by his name, you lowly servant?.”Alpha? My brain whirled. Was the Alpha Derrick? I stepped back, my vision going fuzzy as the realization hit me hard. Everything made sense now including the weight of the hatred in her eyes.This was new.How I'm I supposed —He didn't tell me.

The room was so magnificent, worthy of a Queen.I was lying on a massive bed with heavy drapes of dark velvet which sat in the center of much beauty.Everything seemed to shimmer in an almost unnatural way, including the sleek contemporary furniture. I wondered again where I was as I brushed my hand over the plush silks as I reached out to balance myself on the bed's edge. It was too lovely. Too tidy. I felt confused.Where was Derrick ?My mind races as it worked to piece together what had happened . My last memory was of Derrick calling my name.

    I sensed that something wasn't right as soon as we stepped out of the boundary of the first pack we got to. We were received warmly and had a little dinner at a small in at the far end of the pack and immediately we were on our way again and my heart was beating even when Derrick was walking right beside me .My stomach rumbled because I had eaten very little but I didn't want to bother Derrick about it, he had done so much for me already.Only the glow of lamplights extending down the road, the hum of the night in the distance and the deserted street. I could feel eyes on me though. I felt as if my breathing was labored and that the air itself had become harsh to me. “I think something is wrong.” I whispered.He looked over his shoulder as if he thought someone might suddenly leap out at us from behind .But then, I heard it as we were almost at the end of the alley. a faint sound that was hardly audible.
