Serena swallowed, still not believing he was speaking about her joining his pack in such a nonchalant way – like it was no big deal. She wanted to pinch herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming.
This was the first time in years she felt so light like a heavy burden had been lifted off of her shoulders. Like she could finally start to lower her guard and begin to live and enjoy her life.
At one of her lowest points after she’d been turned, she’d started to hate her life and resent Sasha. She’d just wanted to be a normal teenager with normal human problems. She hadn’t wanted to be a turned wolf that had to fight every second of every minute of every hour of every day to survive. Every day was a struggle, but eventually, she’d taken her head out of her ass long enough to stop to think about how hard it must be for Sasha as well.
Sasha was meant to be so much more but she was stuck with a pathetic human. At least that’s how Serena looked at it.
It wasn’t fair that she’d had to live like that, but there hadn’t really been another option. They were on this journey called life together for better or worse. It looked like they were finally going to enjoy the ‘for better’ part.
