Serenity's POV
After 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 pack I will be returned to my pack due to being a minor and I know that the beating I'll get from trying to run would kill me.I have money aside that my gran left for me. I honestly don't know how much she left me and I don't really care but I know it will help me once leave.Gran knew I would need it one day so she set up a secret account for me before she died and put money in it for me.What was left of her fourtune went to my mum as she was an only child.I'm in the kitchen preparing dinner when my brother Sutton walks in with his best friend Jayce." Serenity you bitch, where the fuck did you put my laptop when you cleaned my room you whore!" he yelled at me." It's in your desk draw where you put it before leaving for training, Dumbass" I replied, realizing to late that I had insulted him."WHAT. THE. FUCK. DID. YOU. JUST. CALL. ME!!!" Sutton growled loudly.Fuck I am so going to cop it now."Umm...... I didn't say anything" I mumbled, lowering my head.Suddenly I feel excruciating pain in my left hand. I look down to see that my brother had moved towards me and stabbed my hand with a silver dagger."If you keep mouthing off like that to me Serenity, next time I will stab you somewhere that will be a lot more excruciating than your hand, you understand me you fucking mistake? " Sutton spat to me, his eyes burning into mine." Yes Sutton, I understand" I reply through gritted teeth.Jayce walks up and yanks the dagger out of my hand, I hiss from pain when he does. As they start walking away Sutton yells over his shoulder at me "dinner better be ready on time still, if it's not I will make sure father knows why it isn't and your punishment will be 10 times worse"With that they left the room. I quickly bandage up my hand and get back to cooking dinner. I keep thinking how I'm so sick of this shit and I honestly would be better off dead."I know this is hard Ren, but hold on a just a bit longer, we will be out of here soon enough" Artemis says to me."I know girl, somedays are just harder than others" I reply. With a sigh I keep making dinner.After I serve dinner to my family, I head out to the clearing I found a few years ago.It's a cave that has a beautiful waterfall in front of it. The lake is so beautiful at night as there is no tree covering the sky so it all reflects onto the lake.I love coming out here to let Artemis out to run, to get away from everything or to just sit and daydream.Tonight I let Artemis out as she is very on edge due to everything that happens daily.If it wasn't for Artemis I would of given up a very long time ago. She keeps me strong.Being that she is a direwolf makes Artemis extremely different to a normal wolf.Artemis is huge for a wolf. Sitting she is 6'5 tall. She's bigger than any alpha wolf that's for sure. On top of being bigger than a normal wolf her speed, hearing, sight, healing, reflexes and fighting skill are superior to normal a werewolf.Being that Artemis is a special direwolf she has special abilities.We can control all of the elements, have premonitions, sense a wolfs true intentions towards us, know when someone is lying, telekinesis, astral projection and teleportation.This is the powers I have unlocked so far. There may very well be more we can do that we haven't discovered yet.I have kept Artemis a secret from my family as I am worried they would either kill us straight away because they see us as a bigger threat or they would exploit us for their own personal gain.It's been hard to keep her hidden from everyone, when we run we have to keep alert to make sure no one see us.When my family abuse me i have to rein in Artemis as she wants to take over to protect me.After letting Artemis out for a run we head back to our prison.As I am walking into the kitchen I hear one of the warriors talking to my parents."Alpha Lucan, I was on patrol in the west of the territory tonight when I saw a Rouge. The thing is that it didn't smell like a Rouge and it was bigger than any wolf I've ever seen." he says."What do you mean it didn't smell like a rouge or look like a normal wolf? Explain! " my father demands."Well Alpha, the wolf was black from what I saw and huge, I wasn't able to tell if it's was a male or female, when I investigated the area, there was no scent at all. Myself and Reid saw the wolf, we tried to catch up to the wolf sir but they were just to fast for us. ""OK, keep a look out for anymore sightings and double the border patrol on the off chance that this wolf is a Rouge. Is there anything else you can think of that might help us?" My father demanded."No Alpha" the warrior replied."Your dismissed Jack" my father replied.SHIT!!!I didn't think anyone saw us tonight. I quickly run back down to the basement and sit on my bed."Shit Artemis, I didn't think we were near patrols tonight, we will have to lay low for awhile and not let you shift till this blows over. I'm so sorry girl""It's OK. I'm not sure where they saw use either as I never sensed anyone close, so they must of been just outside of my range for sensing people""It's alright if we lay low we will be fine"I lay down on my bed and try to sleep. Just as I am starting to drift off, the basement door is thrown open and I am grabbed by my brother Sutton.He drags me up the stairs by my arm, pulling it out of the socket.I whimper when that happens."Shut up bitch, father wants to see you" Sutton snaps at me.He drags me all the way to the family room where my father is sitting with my mum and my brothers.Sutton throws me down on the floor infront of father, he looks at me and I can tell he is extremely pissed off, this is not going to end well for me I don't think."Where did you go after dinner tonight, Serenity?" he growls at me."I went for a walk, I found a small lake with a waterfall, so I sat there for awhile" I reply submissively.Fuck I hate submitting to this asshole, Artemis hates it even more than I do."Who the fuck said you could leave the packhouse and also how did you find that place, it's a place I had built especially for my Luna." he yells.Lowering my head I say "No one said I could leave the packhouse, but I thought it was OK to as I have previously been allowed to go for a walk at night only, also I wasn't made aware that the place I found was for the Luna sir, I had never been informed of this"SLAP!!!My mother's hand connects hard with my face, causing my head to snap to the side. I feel something warm running down my lip, knowing that my mother had split my already busted lip open again."You should of never left the packhouse in the first place, I didn't give you permission to and you will receive a punishment for trespassing on my sanctuary " my mother yells at me."Statham! Take this little insignificant waste of space down to the cells, I will deal with her tomorrow." My mother yells to my brother.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
SKYLER'S POVIt's the middle of the night and I have snuck into the pack hospital again to see my sister Serenity. It's been nearly 2 months since her punishment. Watching Sutton deliver her punishment was truly disturbing. I have never seen something like that before and it will stay with me forever. You could tell he was enjoying it and was taking pleasure in the way he hurt her.Looking at her laying on the hospital bed with her back looking like someone attacked it with a meat cleaver makes me furious and distraught at the same time.I wanted to step in and stop Sutton but I knew if I did then I would have been punished aswell.I gently hold my sister's hand and just pray to the moon goddess she will be ok.Since I was old enough to understand, Stephan and I have been raised to hate Serenity. We were told that she was evil, that she tried to kill Statham when they were little, that she stole Statham's right to be the future Alpha and she also got our older brother Stryker killed d
UNKNOWN POVStanding in my office window, I watch my warriors train. Being the second strongest pack gives us a bigger target for rouges, other packs, and different supernaturals that try to take us out as they want to try to make a point. They never succeed as my warriors are well trained, and I like to make sure my warriors are ready for anything. "Alpha Brennon, Blake's mate Briella has had a vision and said she needs to see you immediately." My beta, Kane, mindlinks me."Bring them up to my office, and you join us too," I reply."Yes, Alpha," Kane replies.I keep watching my warriors till I hear my office door open and my Beta, Gamma, and his mate walk in.Gamma Blake's mate Briella is a witch, and she will get visions.When she gets them it's normally something very important.Turning around, I gesture for them all to take a seat. Once seated, I turn to Briella, "What was the vision you saw Bri, is the pack in danger?" I ask.Bri sits straighter and says to me "No Alpha Brennon,
SERENITY'S POV BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP....As my hearing slowly returns to me I can hear the beeping of the machines near me. I try to open my eyes but they feel so heavy.Just laying there listening to my surroundings I can hear what sounds like muffled sobs and someone holding my hand. I stay perfectly still and keep my heart rate steady and breathing even so that whoever is there doesn't realize I'm awake yet.I try to see if I can find out who it is by their scent without drawing attention to me.I gently breath in through my nose and get the scent of the person in the room with me.I get the scent of sandlewood and linen. Why is Skyler in my room? I keep laying there hoping he might say something so I can figure out why his here."Serenity, if you can hear me I just want to let you know that I am so sorry for the way everyone has treated you, myself included, I never wanted to treat you like this but I had no choice. I was told if I didn't I would be treated the same as you. I just
SERENITY'S POV3 MONTHS LATER........The last 3 months have been absolute hell. Sutton has not been lenient in any way, shape or form. Normally he adds extra to my punishment especially if he has had a bad day.I don't know what my backs like and I really don't want to know.The silver cuffs and collar were removed last night so I could start healing.The only reason they want me healed is because on the weekend Statham and Jayce are having a massive party because both of them will be 18. Statham and I turned 18 when I was in a coma. Jayce turns 18 on Friday so Saturday they decided to have a massive coming of age party. Both packs will be in attendance along with the Knightlock pack aswell.That way there is a better chance of them hopefully finding their mates.I honestly feel sorry for anyone mated to any of the Savage Six.I hadn't even thought of the fact I was 18 now since I woke up. I honestly hope my mate isn't in any of the 3 packs in this area as I know they will either rej
SERENITY'S POV After Jayce rejected me, everyone started laughing, but no one was laughing more than I was. When people start to realise that I am laughing aswell they all quiet down and start looking at me like I'm a freak or something.April was standing next to Jayce, looking smug as if she just won the lottery or something. She's about to find out that I honestly didn't want him as my mate. "Thankyou Jayce for finally pushing me over my fucking breaking point, everyone one of you fuckers will wish that you never pushed me this far.I have a few things to say before I accept your rejection.First: I am so fucking sick of the way this pack has treated me. I haven't done anything to deserve this treatment. All I'm guilty of is being born first and being born a female. I don't understand what I ever did to deserve this treatment. But I have fucking had enough.Second: I never wanted to have a mate in any of the 3 packs here tonight. I especially didn't want you as my mate, April your
