Serenity
I placed the ring in a petri dish in the center of the coffee table at home and sat back on the couch. Jordyn sat in the armchair with a red candle.“Are you ready, hot stuff?” Tay turned my head to look at him. “I'll be right here, whether it is a good or bad memory. I will be right here.” He placed soft kisses on my lips.I laid on his lap and gave Jordyn a thumbs-up. She lit the candle and then set the ring on fire. I shut my eyes and inhaled the smoke.I stood outside Embermoon Coven, The sun was setting over the mountain tops, and hues of red, orange, and yellow cast shadows down the mountain range. The skyline was crystal clear. The sounds of the nighttime creatures graced the air.A woman was sitting outside the coven entrance, admiring the sunset while nursing her baby. The woman was singing a song to the baby. The song had a catchy tone, one that I will not forget. It was about being powerful.The babyJavonte As I traveled along the scenic route to Maryland, Serenity laid her head up against the window, admiring the view. I grasped her hand and pressed a kiss upon her knuckles. I could sense a whirlwind of emotions coursing through our bond: the burden of the prophecy, the lingering memory of her mother, and the anticipation of meeting her father after 21 long years. “Hot stuff; do you want to talk about it? You've been awfully quiet this entire car ride.” Still nothing from her; a simple nod of her head, and she was back, staring out of the window. “Just know I am here to share any burdens with you.” I rubbed her thigh. Just like that, the car was silent once again. I turned on jazz music and continued on our journey. I parked on the boardwalk, waking Serenity up. “Let's go have some fun to ease your mind.” She rubbed her eyes and saw the sandy beach ahead of her. Her eyes gleamed with joy. We s
Serenity Leaving Atlantic City, I was skeptical about meeting my father. Me, showing up after 21 years and destroying his life with his new family. Then I wonder about what other secrets I will discover or if they will lead me closer to completing the prophecy. Watching the farmland pass by in a blur, Tay's emotions were laced with admiration and worry. If it weren't for him being by my side, I don't know if I would ever consider meeting my father with as much determination as I did. Drifting off during the car ride to New Moon, I reflected on the day's events. Tay surprised me with a spontaneous beach trip, which turned out to be incredibly therapeutic. We let out the toxins and self-doubt with our intense kissing and mind-blowing sex. The sunset we witnessed was even more breathtaking than the one from the mountaintop. Tay woke me when we arrived outside New Moon gated community. The armed warriors inspected the outside of the vehicle. Tay

Serenity As my father walked away, the air thickened with remorse and sympathy, and the Alpha and Luna trailed him into the study. Sounds of yelling and items being tossed around in rage. "Hey, sis, don't worry about him. He regrets not knowing about you.” Beta Brandon hugged me. “How old are you?”“I'm 21. What about you? Do we have any siblings?”“Nope, just us. I'm 19. Let me go check on him. I'll see you around.” He disappeared into the room, leaving me and Tay standing in the living room.My gaze was fixated on the door; hush murmurs were heard, and then they died out. Tay rubbed on my shoulders, relieving the tension. “Hot stuff; let's get some rest; give him time to adjust. This is hard for him.”He guided me through the packhouse until we reached the room Charlie had set up for us. Did I do the right thing? I questioned myself. His final reaction was not what I was expecting. I didn't want my father to blame h
Javonte The side of my neck was on fire. The last time this happened, Serenity was in danger. I tried mind-linking her, but there was no response, and then I saw Beta Jeremiah jogging out of the forest alone. “Where is she?” I yelled. “Seeking revenge,” he laughed, and I punched in his jaw. He spit blood and teeth on the ground, and his wolf came to the forefront, tackling me to the ground. We traded blows, getting the upper hand and letting Jasper join the fun. My punches were stronger, breaking his jaw like I promised; raining punches to his face, the crunch of his nose breaking, and knocking him out satisfied me. I retrieved my phone and said, “Are you guys home? A pissed-off Serenity is cutting through the forest near your cabin.”I hung up immediately, calling Alpha Trevor, “My fiery mate is going to breach your territory; I don't know what her motive is; please just use non-lethal force.” Alpha
Serenity I messed up big time listening to my father, a man who hasn't been a part of my life for 21 years. How could I be so stupid?When those bullets hit me, I knew I would never see Tay again and apologize for my stupidity. Who was going to bridge the gap between the supernatural beings? I failed both missions assigned to me.I floated in the dark realms for what seemed like hours, with no lights, no voices, just total silence. After floating around for so long, a bright white light appeared, and this comforting sensation settled around me. I felt her presence before I saw Selene. Not letting a word of disappointment come from her, I crawled to her and held the hem of her silky-smooth dress in my hands, snot running out of my nose, blurry vision, and a hoarse voice.“Please send me back; I am begging you, Moon Goddess. Tay needs to know that I'm sorry. He didn't deserve this.” Selene kneeled down and cleaned my face with a handkerchief.“It's too late, Serenity. He's already he
Serenity After weeks of physical therapy, I was released from the hospital. I had mobility back in my legs, and my wounds were healed. We arrived outside of Embermoon Steakhouse, and I was ecstatic. The restaurant was how I remembered it. The aroma of sizzling steaks and fresh herbs filled the air. Tay led me to the conference room, and at the table sat my closest friends, including Jordyn. I haven't seen or heard from Jordyn since I left for New Moon. A welcome home banner hung on the wall, and a gift basket was on the table.Jordyn and Camila rushed from their seats into my arms, forcing me to lose my balance. I stumbled over my feet, falling into Tay's chest. A low growl erupted, and Tay snapped, "Careful, you two. She's still recovering.” They retreated, giving me a second to find my bearings. “I'm fine, Tay. It was an accident.” “Smurf, I'm glad you are doing better. I missed the hell out of you.” Corey hugged and kissed me. Lukas just smiled and waved. He was the quiet on
Javonte Jasper sensed danger in the crisp night air, and following his instincts, he bolted towards the mumbled screaming. The urgency in his stride mirrors the adrenaline coursing through my veins. We made it to the deepest part of the territory. The frightening screams, watching the chaos unfold right in front of me. I spotted a lone wolf; it wasn't a rogue, but a pack wolf. Another pack was brave enough to challenge my father's authority as Alpha. We circled each other, growling and snarling. Despite my warning, the lone wolf didn't retreat at my threatened tone or dominance. The wolf lunged forward, sidestepping his attack, and with a swift motion, I sliced down its chest. A whimper of pain left his mouth. Ripping him backward by his hind legs as he tries to escape. He reverted to his human form, his hands raised and surrendering. “WHAT PACK ARE YOU FROM?” I demanded, my voice laced with authority. Through the coughs of blood, he managed to utter, “Slasher Pack.” With
