Serena

I stood there, in danger, alone, about to be harmed and in pain. In pain because the people I had worked my ass off for for the past five years, were the same people calling me names and throwing blame.

If I said that I wasn't afraid, I would be lying and I was anything but. For the last time in five years, I was back at square one… I was all alone.

I didn't want to be but I was.

All the friends I had made since leaving Ironfang Pack were all here looking at me as if I was vermin itself

  • Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Lycan King    197. The Life We Fought For

    SerenaThe sound of children's laughter filled the royal gardens, followed by a loud crash and a chorus of startled screams.I closed my eyes.Not again.For a moment, I considered pretending I hadn't heard anything. Perhaps if I remained seated beneath the shade of the old oak tree, someone else would deal with whatever disaster my children had created.Unfortunately, I knew better."That was not my fault!""Yes, it was!""You're the one who pushed me!""And you're the one who broke it!"I sighed, setting aside the book I had been reading.Five children. Five little rascals who had somehow inherited the stubbornness of both their parents and multiplied it.I rose from my chair and followed the noise.What I found made me stop in my tracks.Two of my sons were standing beside the garden fountain, pointing accusing fingers at each other. A third was crouched behind a flowerbed, clearly attempting to hide something. The fourth had both hands on his hips, looking at his brothers as thoug

  • Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Lycan King    196. The Law of the Moon

    SerenaThe days following Kael's trial were unusually quiet.The kingdom continued with its affairs, the council held its meetings, and life within the palace carried on as usual. Yet beneath the ordinary activities, everyone seemed to be waiting for one thing.The final judgment.Kael Thorn remained in royal custody while the elders examined the evidence presented during the trial. Every witness statement, every recovered document and every accusation had to be considered before a decision could be reached.I tried not to think about it too much. I had already said what I needed to say. The truth had been presented before the court, and I trusted the elders to deliver a fair judgment.Still, I could not deny that the approaching day stirred something inside me. Perhaps it was the knowledge that a chapter of my life was finally coming to an end. Or perhaps it was the simple realisation that the man who had once caused me so much pain would soon have to answer for his actions.On the m

  • Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Lycan King    195. Kael’s Reckoning 

    SerenaThe next witness was a royal investigator who had been involved in uncovering Kael's connection to the dark witch.He placed several sealed documents before the court."We recovered these records from a hidden chamber connected to the accused's former residence," he explained."What did they contain?" the prosecutor asked."Correspondence, payment records and instructions concerning the use of forbidden magic."The investigator opened one of the documents."The records establish repeated communication between Kael Thorn and a dark witch. Their arrangement involved the exchange of information, resources and magical assistance.""What was the purpose of this arrangement?""To strengthen Kael's position and eliminate those he considered obstacles to his ambitions."The prosecutor paused."Was Queen Serena mentioned?""Yes."A murmur spread through the chamber.The investigator continued."There were instructions concerning her movements, attempts to discredit her and plans to make

  • Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Lycan King    194. The Blood of a Traitor

    SerenaThe day of Kael's trial arrived beneath a gloomy sky.I stood before the tall mirror in my chambers, fastening the final clasp of my royal gown. The dress was a deep shade of silver, embroidered with delicate patterns that represented the three territories united under our rule.My hair fell in soft waves down my back, while the royal crown rested upon my head.I stared at my reflection for a moment.I had imagined this day countless times.There had been nights when I had wished to see Kael suffer the way he had made me suffer. There had been moments when the mere mention of his name was enough to bring back memories I desperately wanted to forget.But I was no longer that woman.I had a family, a kingdom and a life that I had fought too hard to lose myself in the bitterness of the past.Today was not about revenge.It was about justice.A gentle knock interrupted my thoughts."Come in."Darius entered, dressed in his black royal attire. His expression was serious, and the sig

  • Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Lycan King    193. Mama Babies

    SerenaIt happened in the middle of the night. I was already 10 months pregnant and we were waiting for that day when the little rascals would decide to come out. I had gone to bed early and like any other day of late, Darius did not like leaving me alone.“Are you okay?" He asked me as I tried to look for a comfortable position to sleep in. I had thought that the pain was like any other and it would go away and then my water broke. “Oh goodness!" I cried as I tried to sit up. “What's wrong?" He asked me as he got the side lamp and sat up. “Are you okay?" He asked me as he uncovered me. “I think it's time," I said with gritted teeth."Oh, Lord! It hurts," I cried again. “Hold on for a minute. Let me start filling the bath with warm water as I call Jose to bring in the midwives,” he said as he shot out of bed.He talked as he ran the bath water. I could hear him and I decided to join him because the pain was getting harder as I said here even though I was trying to do my breathin

  • Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Lycan King    192. A Good Feeling

    SerenaAfter the Oracle said that we had to consummate our marriage before everyone, I was taken by the elderly women of the pack who went to prepare me. Darius was also taken by the elders of the pack.Mei refused to leave me alone and she went with us. “What really happens here?" She asked as I was taken to a small thatched hut.“We bathe her in special water that is believed to bring prosperity, fertility and protection from our ancestors to her. Now that she is our Luna mating before everyone shows them and assures them that our king has officially taken her as a mate. It raises the respect people have for her,” an elder explained as another one stirred a bath that had already been prepared. Mei touched the water and nodded with satisfaction. I removed my clothes and entered the bathtub. The women bathed me as they chanted and sang. They were happy and so was I.After the bath, they wiped me, smeared some special oil on me and then I was made to wear a special attire that was

    SerenaI was there in that cell for four days and nights if my mathematics weren't wrong.Since I was bored after I had expunged the poison out of me, I started counting the hours and minutes I was there.I knew I was off and there would be an error because I had been unconscious at the beginning a

    SerenaI froze in my tracks, my heels rooted to the ground as my mind struggled to process what I had just heard.Me? An impersonator?How?I looked at them, and it felt like everything was moving in slow motion as they advanced toward me. My brain scrambled, trying to make sense of the scene unfol

    SerenaThe forest behind Ironfang was the same as I remembered; wild, ancient, whispering with secrets only wolves could hear but under the moonlight, walking beside the Lycan King, it felt… different.Dangerous.I’d expected Darius Wolfe to be arrogant, cold, maybe even cruel, every rumor about hi

    SerenaAfter leaving Kael behind, grunting in frustration, I headed back toward the ballroom smiling. I didn't know what was up with the Lycan King but I was sure glad that someone was putting Kael in his place.“Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you.”Valen appeared beside me, his sharp
