I want to have a Steward, but I currently have Serena. If I ask her to leave she won't go. I tried the mission to get Auriel's Bow but I could not doing since I couldn't find the place. Since I was stuck. So I gave up and went purchased land for a house. I want a Steward but Serena won't leave me alone. How can I fix this???!

You are asking her to leave during quests where she is a vital follower and she is quest-related. That's probably why she won't leave your side. Just finish all of the main quests and then tell her to leave.
This is a known bug. Here is how you fix it:
- Open the console by pressing ~
- Right click on Serana OR type prid 02002b74 and hit enter to select Serana
- Type Setpqv DLC1NPCMentalModel IsFollowing_var False
- Hit enter key
