didn’t need to know what her father really said. It amused her to see how worked up he got when Logan’s name was mentioned. Serenity went to the bush her mother told her would be hers for shifting. She looked around before stripping. That part was going to require some getting used to. After taking a deep breath, Serenity called her wolf for assistance in shifting.
The pain was bad but not as it had been the first time. Without a care in the world Serenity strolled into the clearing. “Holy shit, we heard her fur was white. She looks gorgeous.” Rene mind linked to them. She was glad they couldn’t see her blush.
Logan stepped up looking none too pleased with his friends and started giving orders. “Rene, you take the south. Kevin you take the north. Ricky you take the east. Serenity and I will take the west.”
Before they headed out she received a mind link from Kevin. “Serenity can you hear me?” She nodded her yes and could feel that he had blocked all the others from the conversation. “Just wanted to give you a heads up. You may see Logan as goofy and cocky during the day. When we patrol, he is all business. I don’t want you to feel hurt if he doesn’t play around with you.” She thanked him and felt nice that he would worry enough to tell her.
Serenity followed Logan into the woods and he mind linked her to keep close and to try to keep up. She was told to keep an eye out for different scents. Members not in the pack apparently had a different scent. He turned his head to look at her. “You’re so new to our pack you might not be able to tell the difference. Your wolf can sense danger, trust her if she tells you to run.”
She agreed with his orders. Then her wolf started to swoon. “Our m ate is so strong and a great leader.”
They ran for what seemed like hours. At one point, they detected a scent that wasn’t normal. Logan called his friends and gave them their location. The moment they arrived, the first thing they did was flank them. She ended up in the middle. It was then that she saw that they were surrounded by five wolves that were a dirty sandy color.
“Serenity, stay out of the way if they attack,” Logan ordered. She started to get angry and was ready to yell at him when her wolf yelled. “Pay attention to our mate. We need to stay back.”
Their eyes widened when they saw her. A fight never happened, they turned tail and ran. It was all so strange to her. It took her off guard when the guys took off after them. “Serenity, keep up with me. I can’t risk you going back alone.” Logan told her as he too preceded to chase.
“Guys, we can’t let them leave here alive. They’ve seen her.” They upped the speed. Her muscles were straining and her heart was pounding. Why would it matter if they saw her?
“We are special, we have magic. Strong magic and will only get stronger when we mate.” Her wolf explained.
“What do you mean we have magic? What can we do?” She was lost in the conversation and missed the wolf that charged her. The impact to her ribs made her go down. Rene lunged at the wolf before Logan had a chance to reach him and they started to fight. Serenity finally shook off the shock and stood up in time to see another wolf fly through the air aiming for Logan’s back.
“Must protect mate.” Her wolf howled just before it took over her body. She lunged in the air and caught the intruding wolf by the throat. “Oh my God, I can’t believe you’re doing this!” It was like watching a movie play out. It felt surreal. Damn, we’re strong! She felt the energy coursing through their body.
Logan noticed and lunged too. He hit the wolf in the ribs. Poor wolf didn’t stand a chance against them. A growl made her turn. Rick was fighting one wolf and Kevin another. Something was off. How many were there? One, two, three, four. Wait, there was one more out there.
