Chapter 7:

(Sereinna Freya- Noam Chandler)

“Sereinna” I froze in fear as the familiar voice called out from behind me. As I took a few sniffs of the air around me, I felt my body tense up as the scent reminded me of the men who were in the pack house.

I felt William rub my shoulders as he looked at me worriedly “You oka-”

“William” The voice interrupted causing William to divert his eyes from mine.

As we turned back, my eyes widened when I saw who had called out. It was the man who had manhandled me when I was searching for Jack in the family pack house. I quickly shifted my weight and pressed myself firmly against William’s back. William allowed me to wrap my arms around his waist; he then started rubbing his thumb soothingly against my hands as he tried to somehow comfort me.  

The man guffawed as he saw me cowering in fear behind William. “Troy” I felt William shake hands with the man, as he greeted him.

Troy? Troy…. Where have I heard that name before-?

I was caught by surprise as Troy’s greyish-lime green eyes came into view. He was peeking from William’s side. The distance between us seemed to be bothering my wolf for she didn’t like the close proximity of our faces.

 William shifted and placed his arm around my shoulder, I buried my face into his side immediately.

“Sereinna this is Troy -Troy this is Sereinna my ma-” William was politely introducing us before he was rudely interrupted by none other than ‘Troy’.

“I’ve met Sereinna” Troy said happily with a grin plastered on his face.

Met me? When? Thought the man in front of me does seem familiar but I still couldn’t quite tell how I have met him or how I even know him.

He beamed with happiness as he took my hand with both his and gave it a light squeeze. “Still beautiful as ever Sereinna-” even before he could finish what he was saying William had already torn my hand away from his touch and gave him a growl in warning. I clung helplessly against William’s side.

What happened in the pack house was still a fresh and frightening memory that’s haunted me. I still haven’t found out what happened after I passed out- but I’m sure I’d be able to get some answers off William. Maybe I’d ask him later on-

Troy gave William a stern look before bring his eyes back to mine “Sereinna” he said softly as he held his hand out for me to take.

William gave off another warning growl before wrapping both his arms firmly around my upper body. The warmth of his body and the way his arms held me protectively somehow comforted me and my wolf.

“Don’t you remember me?” Troy asked, his voice sounded hurt.

I slightly faced him and shook my head; he sighed and took a step back. I watched as Troy ran his fingers through his ocher colored hair, then suddenly snapping his head towards me with wide eyes- I suddenly felt even more nervous than I was before. I looked at him with a concerned but confused expression-
