Alpha Sam's POV The doctor had come out twice to tell me they were still trying to repair the damage to my baby girl. I had stopped staring stoically at the doors after the second time. Now, I am pacing back and forth across the width of the corridor. Spear has been pacing in my mind, making my already out of control anger and anxiety even worse. Carson has slumped down against the wall in the hallway with his head in his hands. Tom and Mylo came back at some point, but I haven't paid much attention to either of them. I know I should be asking about my mate, but I know they would not be here if she wasn’t put in the cells already. I can't stop playing that image in my head. My mates' arms holding my daughter still as she stabbed her straight through the back. The look of shock and fear in my baby's eyes as the blade went in. Her crumpling to the floor, and the smell of her blood in the air. Wait! I freeze in my movement. I smelt blood before she stabbed that knife into her! What the
Serenity’s POV Selene laughs at me, like she finds my impatience funny. I think she has finished with her whole... Ren, this is your life... moment, so I want to do this and deal with whatever comes after. I am hoping she gives me a chance to save my father from the grief my death will cause him. If I am here, I know this isn't good for me. I don’t care about punishing that woman, I just don’t want my father going down a dark path because of me, or for my pack to suffer for the grief and blame he will feel. He was such a good father and an amazing Alpha; I cannot let that happen to him. “Oh, you are definitely my daughter. Always rushing to business.” She says with a big smile and a shake of her head. “Sorry” I say, realising I may have jumped the gun. “Never be sorry to me sweetheart. Not for being who you are. I am very proud of the woman you are becoming. So, we actually have two things to discuss, and two choices will need to be made. Neither will affect the other, but
Alpha Sam's POV They told me they wouldn’t be able to close her wound for another day, as the strain on her body without her wolf present was too much. She would slip away. They had wrapped her up in some kind of tape to keep her insides... well... inside. It was killing me seeing her like this. I sat at her bedside alone, having sent my men away. I needed some time to think. I appreciate their support and presence in my time of need, but I just can think with everyone hovering around me right now. I needed to sort this out in my own mind before I deal with everything else. I sat there, staring at my baby girls face, with a tube down her throat to help her breath, a tube coming out of her neck going into a deep vein somewhere there. Tubes in both her hands with drips attached on either side and monitor wires all over her body. They even left the blood pressure cuff on so that they didn’t have to reattach it ever time, as they needed to monitor it so damn often. I want so badly to hol
Serenity's POV “Star” I whisper. It's beautiful. I already know she will be my best friend. I smile thinking that she is a chatterbox, the exact opposite of me. I suppose that is how it works with some wolves. Their counterpart is the total opposite of their own personalities, I always thought it was done that way intentionally to balance them out. “Serenity...” Selene, or I suppose... my mom says to me. I snap my eyes over to her. I must have zoned out, contemplating my wolf. “You will meet her shortly; she will be here soon. You two will have a hell of a ride on your hands. She is a very special wolf darling. I am very proud of you.” she says with a smile. “Proud? Of me? You made her... why would you be...” I reply completely confused. “I didn’t design her like the other wolves my girl. Star was born with you. She is yours. Your creation. She is only as strong and powerful as she is because of who you are.” she says with a smile. I furrow my brow in confusion. Born with me? I d
Alpha Sam's POV The steady beeping of the machines in the room had comforted my wolf and I a little. It was constant reassurance that she was still alive. It had been seven hours since my chat with Alex, and he had come back to tell me she would need to go back to surgery shortly. I had sat here with my head down, praying to the Goddess to keep my baby safe the entire time. Spear had been quiet, contemplating and praying as I was. “Alpha. Its time.” Alex says, coming in the door. I jump to my feet as panic fills me. I hold onto Rens ankle in fear. “I will do everything I can to bring her back to you Alpha.” He says, trying to reassure me. It doesn’t work, but I let them start to work on her. Five nurses came in with him and surround her, so I step back and lean against the wall, trying to suppress my every instinct. I know it is irrational to want to pull them off my daughter right now. I and spear watch as they attach the drips and machines to the bed and put up the sides ready to
Alpha Sam's POV I had been out here over an hour as wolves approached me. Children gave her teddies and flowers they had picked from the community garden. Most adults came to make sure she had a moon flower in her room. I learned more about my daughter in the last hour than I had in years. Apparently, I knew very little about how she spends her time. She had Alpha training with me, but at this point, it's clear, she is already a better Alpha than I will ever be. She helped in the pack kitchen to take things to the nursery, orphanage, Elders home, the recovering patients in the hospital, and every new mother in the pack received a care package from her. She has been doing this for years apparently, and I can now understand more than ever why she was falling asleep on desks in the hospital. The girl trained every morning, and most evenings, preparing her body for the Alpha strength she will require. What shocks me more is how she has opened her heart to every member of this pack. The
Serenity’s POV “I don’t have a mate?” I ask my mom with a breathy chuckle. I hadn't ever really craved one... Not even in my darkest moments. I thought I should probably feel mad, or disappointed, but I really don’t. I suppose it is one less thing off my mind. I heard Moon huff in disagreement, and poor star laid at my feet with a small whine. I rubbed between her ears to comfort her. “No. There were a few options for a while, but they... well they became teenage boys and now... well.” she says, rubbing the back of her neck uncomfortable. She sighs loudly and droops her shoulders. She gives me a look full of pain and remorse. I chuckle a little at the look she is giving me. “Mom, I have never craved a mate before, and honestly, finding out I don’t have one is not that painful for me. I worry more for Star. Any male that came into my life would have to be my Luna, and it would always cause me drama. Honestly, it’s a relief not to have to deal with it.” I say with a reassuring smil
Serenity’s POV Beep Beep Beep ‘What is with all the damn beeping?’ I question to myself. I try to raise my hand to clutch my aching head, but it is being held down by something. I furrow my brows at the feeling. I try to move the other but get much the same response. I open my eyes a little and see a blazing white light again. ‘Damn it, what the hell is that wolf doing?’ I snap to myself. ‘Hey! It wasn’t me this time. That is just the lights in this damn hospital. It sucks in here.’ Says Star from the back of my mind. I smile wide and jolt upright, snapping my eyes open. ‘STAR! You’re here! You are finally with me?’ I ask her in excitement. The two wolved on either side of me startle at my sudden move, and I hear a thud. I whip my head around and see my father's beta, Mylo on the floor looking around for danger, and my father on my right, sat jolt upright, eyes shining with the presence of Spear, looking for the threat to his pup. I smile at him, knowing he still hasn’t realis
