Serene's POV
I looked at Cole and he had a gleam in his eyes which I had not seen in a long time, I couldnt help but smile at his childish faces which made everyone burst into giggles, everyone was nibbling on their favourite ice creams and I never knew Cole also loved chocolate fudge ice cream, its been so long since I had ice cream like this, the last time was with father...
*FLASHBACK*
I giggled holding my father's hand at some silly joke he made, "come on princess its time for training" he said and I frowned "but I dont wanna train" I whined he sighed squatting down to my tiny height "its important baby girl or how will you become a powerful alpha like me?" he said but I refused to budge, "I'll buy you your favourite ice cream if you train properly" he said and my frown faded replaced by a toothy grin as I jumped and followed my father chatting along random stuff. I was so happy
*FLASHBACK END*
I cant believe that time training was my biggest worry, I chuckled at that thought, and saw Micheal come my way I turned to Cole and rolled my eyes and he just chuckled, "alpha Serene" he said trying to get my attention on him. "yes?" I asked in a monotone, "the alphas want a meeting with you" he said and I c****d my eyebrows at 'want' "tell them I am busy" I replied simply and anger crossed his features but he knew better and remained calm, he zoned out looking like he was talking to Jackson via mind link, "they request a meeting with you alpha" he said and I instantly knew my mate knows me better than I thought, "tell to wait in my office" I said and dismissed him sighing that I have to go face f*****g reality. 'just great' kris whined 'trust me even I am not glad' I told her and walked to my office.
I entered my office to see Jackson and Caspian sitting on the passenger seats with a grave look on their faces and I put my game face on and sat on the boss chair behind my desk. "and why was I requested to be here?" they looked up to see me I raised an eyebrow to ask them to go on. "would our alliances with you make us allies?" Jackson asked,"no, it wouldnt till you want be Allies, but if both of your packs go to war on some feud my pack or coven will not intervene due to our alliance with both of you. get it?" I asked and they nodded "it would only be advisable that you both make an alliance too because my pack doesn't tolerate nonsense I said narrowing my eyes at both of them. "alright alpha caspian I request you for your alliance" Jackson said and extended his hands, "I alpha caspian pledge an alliance with alpha Jackson and his pack" he said and shook Jackson's outstretched hand. "the loyalty pledge is in..." I looked at the clock and it said 3:00 pm "5 hours, so you better be ready" I told them and went to my room to take a bubble bath. 'Cole are the children back home safe?' I asked through our personal link, 'yes Queen' he replied 'COLE!!' I heard him laugh 'yes serene' he said 'go see preparations and take Tim with you, the thing is in 5hours, I want nn flaws in this, its very important' I said 'yes, i will go there and make sure of everything, anything else?' he asked 'no, thank you Cole' I said meaning every word of it 'its my duty and anything for a best friend' he said and I smiled cutting the link focusing on my bath. I poured in some bubble bombs and made sure the water was lukewarm. I lit up some scented candles and played my soft playlist on Spotify finally stripping of all my clothes and stepping in the tub. I relaxed the moment was I was completely in the water and I looked at the scars on my stomach and thighs, they were light and almost invisible all were except the one running over my eye, I didnt loo bad with it but it would definetly not go with the gown I was wearing today. I let my self slip into the comfort and close my eyes. I woke up with the water going cold I checked my arm and saw it was not pruny and sighed before getting out and wrapping a fluffy white robe which was soft against my skin. I walked into closet looking for the gown I was wearing, it was off white colour with patterns running down the length, it was tube and the border was embedded with some fake jewels it was floor length and elegant, it had a small cut near the waist showing off my toned stomach. I slowly put on the dress with great difficulty of not knowing how to wear dresses. "how is my baby girl doing?" a voice came after I had put on the dress and I instantly knew it was Harry as I jumped on him practically making us fall on the floor but the old man was still strong as he laughed and held me tight, if you are wondering the angel Harry had left to visit his son Ace in California and leave me with this pack business after it was official. "I missed you" I said still hugging him meaning every word of it. "oh love, I missed you too" he said "now come on we dont want to spoil that dress" I got off but instantly win a defence position in front of my door as I sensed another non familiar presence, I growled "come out, NOW!" I used my alpha command and I immediately softened as I saw ace's familiar eye looking at me, boy I missed those teal eyes, I smiled and jumped at him just like I did with harry "yo sis you got powerful" he said chuckling and I laughed, the reason why I got the pack was because ace wanted to be my helper and not the alpha he was always a carefree guy and would not be able to hold the reputation and Harry saw me perfect for the cause. Ace was the big brother I never got to have or know. "welcome back" I said still burying myself in the crook of his neck. "srsly father just said we dont wanna ruin that pretty dress" he laughed as I jumped off and stuck my tongues out at him. I walked back into my room and sat in front of my dresser putting my lipgloss and eyeliner and leaving my wet hair in its natural wavy straight hair. "oo la la, the boys are gonna be drooling" Ace said and I laughed "I got my mate i***t" I said and he eyes flashes shock love then sheer happiness but then they were filled with worry "who will handle this pack?" he asked frowning "me, I aint leaving my pack, they are my family and thats why we are handling this by an alliance and merging our pack lands along with silver crest pack, this would also help with these extreme rogue and vampire problems, speaking of vampires I am also their Queen now so my coven and pack lands are also merged" I explained and they looked at me shocked, Harry then spoke up "I have been gone for only 3 weeks" he said and I laughed "I dont like to sit still" I said and Ace said "isn't silver crest your previous pack?" his voice laced with anger. "yes, but I know how to handle them now, I aint the same girl you found in the woods" I said and smiled, they came forward nd hugged me, "lets get this over with" I said and linked both my arms with them on either sides.
