The young girl packed her bags to go to pack Lucid. She had no choice, being a rogue is the worst thing that can ever happen to a werewolf as one would be prone to all dangers, including being killed by a hunter and she was not going to die that easily. Her twin brother and mother had done that for her and now she must survive, yes she must.
“ Oh finally, this house and pack will be freed from this awful smell. I can’t wait to give this room to my pet wolf” Serafine’s step-sister said while standing at the door, looking at Serafine with a look of contempt.
Serafine ignored her, picked up her bag, and set to leave the room when the other girl stretched her leg in front of her, making Serafine fall. Serafine stood up, dusted her skirt, and left, ignoring what her step-sister had done. She was done complaining as in the end, she would be the one who would end up beaten by her father. She has learned to shut her mouth no matter the pain she is going through.
“It’s good that you made the right choice. Now, one more thing, we got news today that war might still break out in the future if the alpha fails to fall in love with you after three months. So, do all you can to make him fall for you, earn his affection, or else” Serafine’s dad said as his eyes landed on the puppy lying on the floor beside the door. He walked towards the door and picked the puppy up
“ Give him back please” Serafine pleaded as her father grabbed the puppy by its neck, strangling it a little
Ignoring her plea, her father said “ else, say bye-bye to your precious puppy” his hold on the puppy tightened a little
“ Ok, I agree, I promise, I will make him fall in love with me,” Serafine said while shedding tears. She was not aware that she had started crying. Her puppy Is the only thing that has given her solace these days, the only thing keeping her sane
———————————————————————————
Serafine got to the Lucid pack with the help of the wolves sent from the pack to pick her up. On getting there, she marveled at the sight she was seeing. The members of the pack did not even behave like wolves at all and if not for the fact that she was aware that this was a pack, she would have thought the people she was seeing were humans. And to add to this, the technology in this pack is impressive and almost on par with human technology.
When she got to the Alpha’s house, she was surprised at what she was seeing. There were only a few female workers there.
‘I thought most workers were female’ Serafine thought to herself
“Welcome Serafine, I will call you by your name for now because you are not yet our Luna, I will be the one to attend to your needs today so please follow me while I lead you to your room,” An older lady dressed in a maid’s uniform said as she turned her back at Serafine leading the way, not turning back to even check if she was following her.
Serafine could see from the look on the lady’s face that she did not like her and she was not surprised as someone liking her right now was not her priority. Initially, after her father told her about the three-month deal, she had it in mind to make the alpha of the lucid pack hate her instead of liking her as she does not even care if any war should break out, but after using her precious puppy against her, she would do all in her power to get this done with so she could go back to save her puppy.
“This would be your room for the meantime, I would start going and please let me know if you need any help,” The maid said not even hiding the bad look on her face for Serafine.
“Thank you so much,” Serafine said with a small smile on her face
The lady was about to take her leave when Serafine suddenly asked
“ When can I meet the Alpha?”
“ It is not a question I can answer as of now, I am not even in the right position to answer that Serafine, so, you would meet our Alpha when he wants to see you,” The maid said giving Serafine a fake smile
Serafine sat down on the mattress feeling tired from the journey. Unlike others, Serafine has not gotten her wolf yet. For a reason, her wolf does not want to manifest itself yet even though she is already 18 years of age. Her father once told her that it was because of her wrongdoings which is why the moon did not give her a wolf. So, without her wolf, she was no different from human beings as her abilities are slow and she heals slower compared to other wolves.
She stood up to go to the bathroom, then she saw two identical doors and did not know which one was the bathroom. She pushed one of them and suddenly, she found herself in another room different from hers. The room belonged to a male, she was sure of that because the interior was giving a dark, shady, and dangerous feeling. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she felt the presence of someone behind her. Just as she was about to turn, she heard a cold and menacing voice
“Who are you and what are you doing here?”
She turned back to receive the shock of her life
Jenna laughed as she saw the picture she used an unknown number to send to Alcide. She took the sim away, broke it into pieces and threw it away.She was sure Alcide would hate Serafine by now. If not from the pictures, but from the message she used Serafine’s phone to send.‘Now, I would wait for a while before approaching Alcide. Then when it is time, I would comfort him and make him give in to me bit by bit’ Jenna thought within herself as she laughed to herself.She stepped into the room and walked closer to Serafine.By now, Serafune had already woken up but her body was bloodied and she could barely keep her eyes opened.“Oh, what a pity. Look at you now. If you would have left Alcide for me, you won’t be passing through all these” Jenna said, acting like she felt sorry for what Serafine was going through.Serafine could only gnash her teeth as she used her last strength reply Jenna.“You just wait until Alcide comes to get me out of here. He would rip you to pieces” Serafine re
Meanwhile, Alcide went into his room after he was done with his meeting and he was tired. All he wanted was to spend time with his wife.He stepped into the room with a smile and his smile left his lips when he saw that the room was empty.‘Did she step out?’ Alcide wondered to himself as he checked the dressing room and bathroom but it was empty.“Serafine?” Alcide called out to her but got no response.“Maybe she stepped out to relax for a while” Alcide added as he finally calmed down, convincing himself with that thought.He stepped into the bathroom, had his bath and changed into fresh clothes. He had some files to attend to and as such, he sat down to work on them.He dropped the papers out of frustration. No matter how hard he tried, he could not concentrate. His thoughts diverted to Serafine.He looked at his watch to check the time. The time was past 5 in the evening.“Why is she not back yet” Alcide said as he became worried.He tried to continue his work but when he saw that
Serafine was about to run away but then, a strong hand grabbed her and yanked her into the room. Serafine fell down from how strong the pull was and she immediately stood up to find Lucian glaring down at her. “Oh, what a nosy cat you are,” Lucian said with a sinister smile as he moved closer to Serafine while Sera backed away. “Please let me go. I’m sorry” Serafina said as her back hit the door and she almost screamed from how close Lucian was to her now. Just then, Jenna stepped out of the bathroom saying, “What was that sound” As soon as she said this, her eyes widened when she saw Serafine backed up against the door with Lucian in front of her. “We have a spy. Why don’t we hasten up our plan Jenna” Lucian said with a smirk as he crouched to Serafine’s level. “Please don’t do anything to me” Serafine begged as she felt tears pool down her eyes. “Do you have everything all planned out?” Jenna asked as she smirked seeing how Serafine cried out of fear. “Yes” Saying this, Luci
The next morning, Serafine and Alcide left the resort early to get back to their pack. All through the ride, Serafine kept mute, saying nothing and Alcide kept staring at her from time to time, wondering what he had done wrong. “Serafine?” Alcide called out to her, tired of the silent treatment “Hmm?” Serafine said, turning to look at him. “Are you alright?” Alcide asked, looking concerned “I’m ok,” Serafine said, smiling at him “Then why have you been quiet all this while? Did I do something wrong” Alcide asked and Serafine felt emotional seeing the look on his face. He looked confused and sad and she just wanted to pull him in for a hug and comfort him. Yes, she was down, but not because she was angry, but because she was confused and trying to sort out her emotions. She feels confused about her feelings to Alcide. She felt so drawn to him and whether she admits it or not, she has fallen deep for him and she does not want to expect much from him so as not to get disappointed.
The next day came and went fast as Serafine hanged out with the girls while Alcide was busy with a lot of meetings. A party was organized for all of them in that night, just to enjoy once more before they all head back to their various packs. Serafine was going for something simple yet elegant, so she opted for a pink chiffon dress that reached her knee. She let her hair down in waves and applied minimal makeup. Alcide on the other hand wore a black tuxedo with matching shoes and applied gel on his hair, swooshing it backwards. In all, they looked elegant and one would think they were a match made in heaven. Serafine felt sad because she was going to leave all the sweet souls she had just met and then go back to face her problems. She would miss them all, especially Daina. Serafine and Alcide stepped out of their room and into the hall holding each other’s hands. Just as they stepped in, Serafine noticed that the chairs were arranged in front of a large table, and once seated,
Daina and Serafine had fun after which Daina took Sera to meet the wives of some Alphas, with Serafine’s permission of course. When they got to the garden, the women were eagerly waiting for Serafine and Sera felt nervous a little bit nervous. ‘What if they don’t like me? What if I fumble? What if I act weird in front of them?” The what-ifs clouded Serafine’s mind as she hesitated a little and Daina quickly noticed this. “Don’t worry, Sera. The people you are about to meet are nice and I won’t take you to them if they weren’t. And if they choose to be a dickhead, I’m here, I’d spank their asses one by one” Daina said, trying to cheer Sera up and then Serafine nodded, moving forward. Immediately the ladies saw Serafine, they stood up gleefully, with a genuine smile on their faces. “Ladies, meet Serafine” Daina introduced Serafine to the ladies and they all smiles, some nodding, some looking at her like she were a superstar. “Sera, this is Bianca, Davina, Arianna, Cleopatra, Giann
