The Song In the Alpha’s Heart
Chapter 8
She spent extra time this morning with her curls, making sure to put a nourishing curl cream to give them more definition. If you couldn’t fight them, might as well make the most out of them. She had a sun kissed golden skin complexion with lots of freckles.
A line of freckles went across her long straight nose. Serenity would cover them with make–up if she could stand the feel of foundation on her face. Foundation and base make–up irritated Serenity’s skin, causing breakouts, so she didn’t use it. She’d rather take care of her skin than ruin it because of vanity.
She wore a light layer of olive green eyeshadow that lightly sparked with tiny flecks of gold. A brown eyeliner and black mascara,
she only needed a little CarMax on her naturally pink lips, and she was done. Five minutes and she had her make–up on.

She already had to spend thirty minutes on her hair every morning, so she didn’t want to take forever with her make–up everyday
too. So always wore the minimum, just enough to accentuate what was already there, not enough to make a new face entirely.

Serenity had picked out her clothes carefully today. She wore a dark forest green tank top with lacy edges, it had a slightly thick built–in non–slip shelf bra and a delicate looking golden zipper down the front, the fabric of the shirt loose enough to lay gently
against her skin.

Her shorts were dark blue denim hip huggers that hit her mid thigh, with thick gold zippers up both sides for easy shedding.
They still have a front fly with a zipper and a snap. The thread for the hems was a dark gold color.

On her feet were a pair of gold colored sling back sandals that slipped on and off easily. She had three piercings in each ear, she had golden stud earrings in each one. Dangling earrings and hoops were only worn with specific hairstyles, otherwise her curls got
snagged in them.

When you shifted, the earring would still be in the ears, only on your shifted forms ears. As today was the Seniors fight training
exam, Serenity went for earrings that wouldn’t be annoying while shifted.

Serenity discreetly gave herself a sniff, to make sure she still smelled freshly showered, as she parked her jeep. Galen and Kain knew why their sister had put so much effort into the way she looked this morning, it was because she hoped to look good for her
fated mate.
They felt that if the mate in question didn’t appreciate her the way they felt he should, they would definitely be giving him a beating. Kain glanced over at Darien and Alora. He was surprised when he looked at her again. He’d know it was her because of the black hair, those violet eyes and caramel skin color.
Kain thought she looked like a delicious caramel candy, one he’d probably enjoy savoring. He never pursued her, because while he
was attracted to her, he was still waiting for his fated mate.

“I think we should talk to Alora and find out just exactly what Darien means to her.” Galen said to Kain.
Darien looked at Serenity and couldn’t help but compare her to a beautiful sunset. He was so nervous. “What if she doesn’t like
me?”
Alora looked at Darien in surprise, her eyebrows were raised, as if to ask ‘really?” “You’re an amazing fighter, a highly intelligent being, kind, caring and supportive. What’s not to like?”
“Yeah, but what if she doesn’t find me attractive?” He asked her, looking at her worried.
Alora looked at him with a deadpan expression for a moment, then she slapped him on the back of the head, growling “Dumbass.”
“Ow what was that for?!” Derian asked in surprise, rubbing the spot Alora just smacked, a wounded expression on his face.

Kain and Galen witnessed the slap to the back of the head and they both laughed. Serenity turned off the jeep and took in a deep steadying breath before letting it out in a sigh. The music that had been loudly playing moments ago now abruptly silent.
Without opening the doors, Serenity, Kian, and Galen hopped out of the jeep. Serenity stood next to the jeep, hooking her thumbs in her back pockets. Galen went around the front of the jeep to the driver’s side.
“Any specific reason you parked so close to that big bad wolf over there?” Galen teased Serenity.
Serenity held it in and didn’t say anything, she just gave her brother a narrowed eye glare that promised future retribution. It clearly said, ‘shut up or I’ll maim you.’ Did her brother listen, no, he just laughed..
