STRYKER'S POVWatching Serenity faint made me feel something I'd never felt before, and I was not quite sure what the emotion was. The two alphas standing next to her catch her before she hits the ground. One of them picks her up and carries her bridal style out of the office, and I assume they go to either her room or the pack hospital. The other twin follows his brother out, and I'm left with Alpha Brennon, Beta Kane, Gamma Blake, and his mate and my little brother Skyler."Sorry about all of that. Serenity has been through a lot of things, and she can get overwhelmed easily. She also just found her mates not that long ago. They only mated recently." Alpha Brennon says"It's OK, Alpha. If you don't mind me asking, does that happen a lot to her?" I asked."It's happened a bit since she has come here to Moonstone Sky. Do you know anything about the Nightshade line prophecy or your sister's life with your family?" Brennon asks."Unfortunately, I do. As I explained, I had gone to Deadly
SERENITY’S POV“I think it’s time we went to your council. We are going to need all the help we can get,” Sebastian says.“Council?” I asked. Having never been really taught much about packs, I didn’t even know that there was a council. I didn’t know there were many other packs outside the Deadly Nightshade, Knightlock, and Blackmist packs. Everyone looks at me with confusion on their faces. As I am about to explain to them why I don’t understand what they mean, Skyler answers for me.“Serenity doesn’t know who the Council are as Mom and Dad told the pack and our grandparents that she could not gain any knowledge of who they are and that no one could go to the council about the abuse. Dad was worried that if the council found out about the abuse, he would lose the pack. I also think he didn’t want them to know who Serenity was. If the council found out about the first female Nightshade being born in generations, they would work out what that meant.” Skyler explains.My mates growl wh
Serenity's POVThis is my story of how I go from being an abused nobody in my pack, unloved by all, to finding my true self and having a new purpose in life.My name is Serenity Sage Nightshade. I am nearly 18 years old and the oldest child of Alpha Lucan Nightshade and Luna Rhea Nightshade of the Deadly Nightshade pack.I have a twin brother named Statham Steele Nightshade. He is 20 minutes younger than I am, and this is the cause of one of the main reasons I am hated so much by my family.I also have 3 younger brothers, Sutton Salem Nightshade is 17 years old and twins Stephen Sterling Nightshade and Skyler Samuel Nightshade are 16 years old. The reason I am hated by my family is when my mother was pregnant with my brother and I, she was told by the pack doctor that she would be having twin boys.This news made my parents extremely happy has having twin alpha sons to run the pack would make our pack one of the strongest in the country. So imagine the surprise they got when on the 4
Serenity's POVOnce I started living in the pack house, that's when I began to endure physical, verbal and mental abuse from my so called fucking family and pack members.Now that I no longer had my gran there to protect me and my gramps, Ryker, having passed away when I was 10 years old in a Rouge attack.When I was 10, rouges and vampires attacked our pack looking for a special wolf they saw on pack lands once.My parents said there was no such wolf there.Little did my parents know was that the wolf the rouges were looking for was me.I got my dire wolf Artemis when I was 9. She started talking to me at 7, which in our pack, we start getting the ability to speak to our Guardians at a young age, the youngest being 5.Artemis is all black with a purple triple moon symbol on her forehead. I shifted at 9 due to a single Rouge finding me on neutral territory on my way home from school, who tried to kill me.Artemis shifted to protect me and killed the Rouge that attacked us.I blamed mys
Serenity's POVAfter that incident 2 years ago, my dad, Lucan, stuck to his plan for me and I was home schooled and made to cook from that day onwards.In 2 years the shit I cope from the pack hasn't changed and I am honestly reaching my breaking point.I have had nearly every bone in my body broken multiple times, I've been beaten so badly I've nearly died 5 times, I've had internal bleeding, fractures, concussions, a punctured lung, contusions, I've been whipped with a silver whip 2 times for talking back to Alpha Lucan, I've been given wolfsbane 3 more times when I became "unruly", I've been locked in the cells for weeks on end, the list goes on of the torture and abuse I have suffered. I am sick of being abused, yelled at, pushed around, used as a slave ect.I turn 18 in a month and Artemis and I have decided that we're going to runaway from the pack, as we don't deserve to be treated like this.I need to wait till I'm 18 as if I try leave before then and I get caught by any other
Serenity's POVStatham dragged me down to cells after my mother yelled at me."Why the fuck do you have to be so fucking stupid for?" Statham growls as he pushes me down the stairs.I tumble down the stairs hitting my shoulder hard at one point, till I hit the floor hard at the bottom.I sit up groaning as pain shoots through my shoulder. I'm pretty sure that there is now a fracture in my shoulder blade, adding to the busted lip and my left shoulder that is pulled out of the socket, I'm doing pretty good tonight. Not to mention the healing injuries I had before this happened. Statham pulls me up off the floor and walks through the dungeons. "Statham, I honestly didn't know I wasn't allowed there, no one ever told me there were places in our territory that were forbidden to pack members or forbidden to me" I say while walking to my cell. "Maybe you should of just stayed inside out of sight where you belong. None of us want to see your pathetic face, we all hate you Serenity." Statham
Serenity's POV"This is fucking bullshit and you know it. I never attacked the Luna. After I was thrown in the dungeon last night after getting in trouble for going to the waterfall, one of you or the Luna herself inflicted those injuries because there is no way I could of done it with a dislocated shoulder, a fractured shoulder and having my head slammed into the cell wall. I was already injured before seeing you from beatings from the Savage Six earlier that day." I yelled.The pack gasps in surprise, outrage and a range of other emotions, because I have just disrespected their Alpha with the way I spoke to him."Watch your tone with me Serenity, I am your Alpha and you will NOT disrespect me. You will receive 25 lashes every 2 days now instead of 20 and on top of that you will be chained in silver cuffs while this happens so you won't heal as quick. One more outburst and I will kill you right now." my father replies to me angrily.Lowering my head I say "Yes Alpha". My brother Sky
SERENITY'S POVI wake up and start looking around to get my bearings. At first there is only darkness around me, then everything starts moving like when you turn a kaleidoscope, when I'm suddenly sitting on the soft grass next to a beautiful lake with mist hanging over the water in a valley filled with trees and wildflowers and benches next to the lake. I feel a nudge to my right hand I look down to find my wolf laying next to me. I lift my hand up and she puts her head in my lap.I gently start stroking her head while I just sit there and listen to the peace and quite.I feel calm and at peace wherever I am. I feel no pain, fear or any other negative emotion I normally feel, all I feel is absolutely peace.I look down at my wolf's head in my lap "where are we Artemis? Why don't I feel any pain" I say to my wolf."She can't reply to you here, my child. She's not a part of you in this realm." says a soft and very familiar voice.I turn around so fast and there is my gran sitting on on
