Distracted

[Serenity’s POV]

“Leave that to me.”

Uncle William’s voice is filled with so much certainty that I truly believe he can seek out the answers that we so desperately needed. It was one thing to only have Maverick shift from that rogue to who he was now, but with more appearing, we really needed to know where they were coming from and what exactly it was that they wanted.

‘Isn’t it obvious?’ Mahogany huffs, causing confusion to flash through me.

‘What do you mean?’

Although I had an idea, I was certain that I was just being paranoid, but the chances were pretty coincidental.

‘Your blood.’ Mahogany responds, confirming my biggest fear.

‘We don’t know for certain.’

‘Don’t say I didn’t warn you.’ She huffs before slinking away.

“Serenity,” Uncle William calls, snapping me out of my head. “I think it’s best that you and Maverick head back for the evening.” He continues from his place on the ground, where he still cradles the woman he called Elise.
