Chapter 12 – Serena

Serena woke up slowly, smiling to herself even before she opened her eyes. There was a delicious, drowsy warmth soaking her whole body, and she felt more relaxed than she’d felt in weeks. The memories of the night before danced through her mind even before she was fully awake, and she realized with a rush of amusement that she’d been dreaming about their lovemaking all night, ever since she’d drifted off to sleep. She just couldn’t get enough of him, it seemed.

And god, who could blame her? She’d known he was gorgeous since the minute she’d laid eyes on him. Seeing him naked was just… another level. It was a miracle her heart had survived the strain. And her physical attraction to him was only intensified by knowing him better—seeing who he was, how well he led his people, what a loving and attentive father he was to his little girl. And clearly, he’d been feeling similar things about her, if the explosive connection they’d shared last night was anything to go by.

Her mother had told her a few things about shifters—nothing particularly concrete—but she couldn’t help thinking about a comment her mother had made once when Serena was a teenager in the throes of a huge crush on an oblivious boy in her year. Her mother had chuckled, halfway through another long anecdote about the way the boy had looked at her when she’d made a joke in class, and whether it meant anything.

”You know, he’s probably not your soulmate.”

”My soulmate?” She’d wrinkled her nose—even in the depths of teenage love, she’d regarded the word with due suspicion. “Isn’t that just—dumb superstitious romantic stuff?”

”For humans, maybe,” her mother had said thoughtfully. “But the way your father and his friends used to talk about it… well, it might mean something to shifters. Something more than it does to humans, anyway.”

”I’m only half-shifter, though,” she’d objected. Though she’d already learned—with a combination of delight and fear—that her father’s ability to transform into a wolf was something she’d inherited, she still found it difficult to think about it as heritage she actually belonged to.

”Well, there’s half a chance you’ve got a destined soulmate out there, waiting for you.”

Serena still wasn’t sure if her mother had been joking—she often had a twinkle in her eye when she talked about things like that. She was pretty jaded when it came to romance, always encouraging Serena to be independent, to stand on her own feet and make sure she didn’t need anyone else to take care of her. But the idea that there was someone out there, destined to be with her, to be her mate for the rest of her life… well, she’d always secretly found it kind of romantic. It was why she’d never dated seriously. Nobody had ever hit her with feelings like that.

Nobody until Lachlan, that was.

Take it slow, she reminded herself firmly, sitting up in bed. To her surprise, she found herself alone in Lachlan’s room, his
