Author's Note: I know this isn't the full length version of "Serenity", but I hope this makes up for it. I hope everyone enjoys the first chapter.

Lexa felt refreshed as she ran through the woods. The sense of release made her wolf happy. She continued to run as fast as she could. It was times like these that she wanted to test her human form. Sure, being a werewolf had its perks, but she also wanted to see if her human form could catch up. Considering that she was running extraordinarily fast, she would say that she was in top shape.

A twig breaking somewhere from her left caused her to halt her movements. A sweet aroma wafted through her nostrils. She looked and spotted a white wolf watching her.

It wasn't uncommon for other wolves to be in the woods, since they were neutral grounds for all packs to run free. However, it was odd to see an Alpha with white fur.

Lexa's eyes changed with the sense of urgency from her wolf. The alpha in her wanted to run with the wolf in front of her, but she restrained herself and offered the other wolf a smile and a polite "hello" before continuing her run. Thinking that the other wolf wanted to be left alone.


"You know if you're going to go running in the woods, you should probably tell someone first." Raven said to Clarke from her place on the couch. Her face was buried in the newspaper and her legs were resting atop the coffee table.

Clarke stepped into the living room. The house that they shared was more spacious than the homes that they previously lived in. It gave the two girls a homier vibe than the last few places that they called their own.

"You were out and I wanted to see the woods of neutrality." Clarke replied with a smile playing on her lips. Her mind couldn't help thinking about the other Alpha in human form. She hoped that she'd see the beautiful girl again.

Raven set the newspaper down, she took her feet off of the table planting them on the floor and sat up straight. "Were the woods what you expected, princess?" She asked intrigued. Their people talked about those woods as if they were the land of OZ. She only hoped that they lived up to Clarke's expectations. Many things had been ruined for them over the years; she had to make sure that living in Minneapolis would bring joy to her Alpha's heart.

Clarke plopped down on the couch next to the brunette. It felt odd for her to feel so familiar and safe in a place that she never thought she'd get to see. She was glad that she met another Alpha that only offered her a nice sentiment, instead of strife.

"They were more, Raven." She looked into her friends eyes smiling happily. "There was this girl running in the woods too. I think she was an Alpha not just any Alpha, Raven. I think she was the Alpha." Clarke explained her blue eyes sparkling in astonishment thinking of the other girl. She's heard stories about an Alpha that was responsible for the peace between many packs of the north. She just never thought that she would meet her, especially so soon.

The brunette's eyes nearly bulged out of her head. "No way! You're kidding me." Raven replied excitedly. "That's great. So, is she hot?"

Clarke's eyes sparkled again.

Raven looked her friend over laughing. "I'm gonna take your dazed expression as a yes. Did you guys talk?"

Clarke looked down. "Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to change. She did say hello to me though." Clarke started to think of the exchange again. "I think I surprised her. She stared at me like she'd never seen another Alpha before." She explained.

Raven turned serious. "I think the color of your pelt surprised her, Clarke. It's not every day that you see an Alpha with a white pelt."

Clarke nodded in agreement. "I know it's just that if I see her again, I don't want her to be intimidated by my pelt. I just want her to see me for who I am not the princess of the South." She replied solemnly.

The brunette pulled Clarke into her arms in a comforting embrace. "I know. If she is as amazing as the stories that people tell she will see you as more than the princess or the queen I should say."

Clarke flinched at the last part. "Can you call me princess? I'm not ready to be a queen." She replied thinking of her family and the rest of the pack that they lost.

Raven felt a pull at her heart. "I'm so sorry. I'm so stupid. I shouldn't of- It's too soon. Of course, princess." She apologized.

They sat comforting each other for a little while longer.

"What do you say to getting a couple of drinks at this place Barfly tonight?" Raven asked pulling away from Clarke.

Clarke wiped a few tears from her eyes. "That sounds like fun." She replied hoping she'd run into the other Alpha there.


Lexa walked into the VIP area of Barfly. She just finished her finals yesterday and needed to relax. She walked up to the bar and was met with a smiling Lincoln.

"What can I get you, Lexa?" He asked seriously.

Lexa released a laugh. "You know that I don't pay you to be serious." She replied.

Lincoln joined in on the laughter. "I just had to see if it would work. I want to make sure that I can intimidate any humans that want to cause trouble."

"Well, if I didn't know. I would have been quaking in my heels." She replied.

"How did your finals go?" Lincoln asked mixing Lexa's drink.

The Alpha picked at a napkin in front of her before replying. "They were tough. I think I fared well, but I won't know until Monday. So I figured that I might as well have fun now, just in case I get bad news later."

Lincoln set the finished drink in front of her. "I'm sure you did well. Just try and relax. There should be a crowd here tonight. You might even find someone to take home." He replied looking behind Lexa.

The brunette turned and followed his line of sight to Octavia who was talking to the bouncers.

"Octavia will be fine Lincoln. She is more than equipped to handle anything that happens tonight." Lexa said making the man relax a bit.

"I know. I just worry about her. What she said happened to her pack makes me worry that we won't be able to protect her if others come." Lincoln replied drying a glass.

"Those sorry excuses for humans will die before they touch her. I promise. Either by her hand or mine." Lexa responded taking a sip from her drink.


Clarke and Raven got into the club easily. One of the bouncers named Kyle let them in without so much as a cover charge.

"Are we gonna talk about how Kyle was mating with you with his eyes?" Clarke asked as they pushed their way towards the first floor bar.

Raven released a giggle. "He's cute, but tonight is about you, Princess." She replied hopping on a now vacant stool.

Clarke squeezed in next to her. "It's okay if you want to go talk to him." She felt like such a burden. Sure, she needed protection, but her friend deserved to have fun too.

The brunette gave a non-committal glance to the front of the club. "It's cool. If he really wants to talk to me, he will when his rotation at the door is over." She said turning back to the bar. She ordered four shots of tequila, two for her and two for Clarke. "Now let's get this night started." She held her glass up to the blonde's. They took their shots quickly making sure to make use of the salt and limes before them.

Clarke shook her head. "Man, I forgot how much I hated tequila."

Raven stood from the bar. She grabbed Clarke's hand pulling her in the direction of the dancefloor. "Let's dance. Maybe we can rope you that hottie Alpha."

A warm feeling settled into Clarke's stomach and it wasn't the shots of tequila. The Alpha was here, all she had to do was find her.


Lexa was just leaving the VIP lounge when she felt it. It was like a magnetic pull forcing her to the first floor dancefloor. She decided she had nothing better to do, so she followed the feeling.

She pushed past people in a dazed fashion stopping behind a head full of gorgeous blonde hair. She wasn't sure if she should start dancing or walk away slowly. She decided to go with dancing. Not much harm could come from a dance.

The bass thumped through the speakers in a hypnotic fashion. Lexa closed her eyes moving to the music; she was lost in her own world until her stomach felt like it was on fire. She opened her eyes and found herself gazing into eyes as blue as the ocean.

"You." The blonde whispered.

"Do I know you?" Lexa shouted over the music.

Clarke gulped nervously. There was no sense in lying. "I was in the woods earlier. I saw you running. You are very fast." She replied in a normal tone of voice knowing the other Alpha could hear her.

Lexa froze. It was her, the wolf with the white pelt.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come. I knew I made you uncomfortable I should go." Clarke rambled turning away from the taller girl.

Lexa lightly grabbed onto the blonde's wrist. "I didn't mean to offend you. I've just never seen an Alpha with white fur before. I heard stories, but I was told that wolves like you were dead." She replied.

"The queen is dead, but the princess is very much alive." This time Clarke whispered into her ear. "I came here to relax, alpha. Are you going to help me?"

Lexa shivered at Clarke's lips brushing against her ear. "It would be rude of me not to. I know I don't have the Southern hospitality that you are used to, but I can definitely give you a warm welcome." She replied. She gave a nod over in Raven's direction as if to tell the other girl that Clarke would be safe with her, before the brunette went into the direction of Kyle at the door.

As if on cue a slow song rang out from the speakers.

Clarke wrapped her arms around Lexa's neck. She smiled feeling the other girl's arms on her waist.

"What's your name?" Clarke asked as they swayed slowly.

"Lexa. You?" She replied her thumbs playfully making circle's on the blondes waist.

"Clarke." She answered putting her head on the other girl's shoulder. She felt safe with Lexa. Lexa. She loved that name.

"You are the princess of the South?"

"Yes. This was the only place that seemed safe from hunters. They killed my pack." Clarke replied softly.

"I am so sorry to hear that. You and your friend are safe, but there is another who has found solace here. Do you know an Octavia?" Lexa asked.

Clarke slightly pulled away. "Is she here?"

Lexa smiled tucking a stray strand of hair from Clarke's face. "Follow me, Princess. Your Omega awaits." She replied leading Clarke to the VIP lounge on the second floor.


The VIP lounge was quiet as opposed to the rest of the club. Clarke found it eerie. She followed Lexa to the bar where she whispered into a large man's ear. The man gave her a glance before turning to go somewhere in the back.

"There is no need to be so tense, Clarke. I am sure Octavia will be glad to see you." Lexa said trying to ease the blonde's mind. She rubbed her back affectionately making the other wolves in the lounge look away. Whether it was announced upon both of the girl's lips, they were mated and other wolves in the pack had to give them privacy when it came to small affectionate gestures.

Clarke saw Octavia smile before running to her and wrapping her up in a tight embrace. The brunette quickly pulled away given Lexa's proximity to the blonde. The younger girl bowed her head in a means of saying, 'I'm sorry' to both of her Alpha's. They understood the gesture and gave a respectful bow in return.

"You're okay." Octavia stated looking Clarke over for any cuts or bruises.

"I'm alright. I'm sorry about, Bell. I'm sorry about everybody." Clarke replied feeling responsible for all of the people that they'd lost.

Octavia turned serious. "It is not your fault, Alpha. If anyone is to blame it is Finn. He should have protected you, but he lead those hunters on to our territory. Don't worry he atoned for his actions long ago. I'm just so glad that you are okay. Is Raven with you?" she asked looking around.

"I believe she is busy." Lexa answered with a blush creeping on to her face.

"She must have gone to go talk to Kyle." Clarke added.

"Well it looks like she isn't the only one." Octavia said happily.

Lexa picked up on her playful tone. "You don't mind?"

"Of course not, Lexa. It'd be nice to have more family around." Octavia replied before turning to go back behind the bar with Lincoln.

Clarke watched her astonished. "She has grown so much." She felt as if she missed major mile stones in Octavia's life.

"She has changed yes, but she will always be a wild child." Lexa replied taking one of Clarke's hands into her own.

"We are meant to be tangled aren't we?" Clarke asked looking into green eyes.

"Yes, but it is your decision." Lexa answered making circles with her thumb over Clarke's hand.

"I wish for my wolf to tangle with yours, Alpha." Clarke stated bringing their joined hands together in a kiss.

"Then tangled we should be, princess." Lexa replied a soft smile playing on her lips. She had no more worries about her results from finals, she wanted to know more about the beautiful girl in front of her.
