Sienna: “Have you managed to find out what is wrong with Valeria?” Arturo asked as we both entered the room. I didn’t know what was wrong, but seeing her reaction today, I had to admit, I couldn’t help but wonder what it was. The woman had teared up because her brother’s pack member gave birth, and then she seemed to be in more pain than she was able to let out when he told her that I would be there through her labor. If she didn’t want me to, she wasn’t forced, but I doubted that was the reason behind her pained expression. “No, she has refused to tell me. But I am sure that she would speak to you as her brother.” I said, running my finger through his hand, wanting him to calm down. I knew that his wolf was more relaxed than he was earlier, but that still didn’t mean that I liked it that my husband was still tense. “The thing is, I don’t want to press on her to tell me. I want her to be the one to come to me. It just seems to me that she isn’t going to for a while, and that is som
Arturo: I woke up with a smile on my face as I saw my wife laying in my arms.Her chest rose and fell with each breath that she took, and I couldn’t help but purr at how relaxed she looked and seemed to be.The fact that she was giving herself to me was something that I couldn’t help but admire. Especially considering the fact that I never even expected it.I had to admit, after hearing what Valeria said about her yesterday and how I saw firsthand that Ayla didn’t even shift when giving birth, that was something that I was astonished by.Her gentle gaze played in my head as I looked at her now relaxed one as she slept. Whatever it was that she was dreaming, she seemed content about it, and that was something that I was happy about.I leaned in and kissed my beauty’s forehead before getting up from bed slowly. I needed to go and see Valeria, whatever it was that was bothering her, I wasn’t going to leave her to deal with it on her own. At least, if I knew what it was, I was going to b
Sienna:“Good morning, Luna,” Dean said, smiling at me. “Good morning, Dean,” I said, smiling back at the man. I looked at Lorenzo who was just leaving his room, careful as he closed the door. I crossed my arms over my chest and nodded at the bedroom door when he turned to face me. He smiled, his smile bright, making my heart swell as I fought back letting out a sigh of relief at the fact that his children were okay. The last thing that I would have wanted to hear was him being troubled about his children.“She is asleep right now. She fed the children a while ago, and the nurses are by her side to ensure that everything is okay, and considering that they were born a bit early, they would be with them for almost a month. I might assign two to keep helping her, at least when I am not around.” Lorenzo said, and I nodded. “Of course, that would be with your permission, Luna.”“You know for fact that I won’t stop you from doing what is best for your mate and children. If she likes the g
Arturo: I looked at my sister who seemed to be at a loss of words as she entered my office. Her eyes avoided mine and her heart raced, making me frown in confusion. “Arturo, first, I don’t want you getting angry about this, and I want you to listen to me first before you say anything about it.” She said, and I nodded, watching as she took a seat. She looked down at her lap as tears filled her eyes. “We are leaving the States, Arturo.” She said, and I frowned. “I am trying to talk…” “Wait, wait, wait, what?” I asked, stopping her. “What do you mean that you are leaving the States, Valeria?” “Things got messed up here, and we were requested to leave. The thing is, I know that it is something that you wouldn’t want. I asked if I could come back to the pack, at least with Kyle, but…” “But?” I asked, frowning as I processed what my sister was telling me. Her eyes avoided mine as tears fell from them, and I got up from my chair and walked toward her. This was why she wasn’t here with
Sienna:My heart raced against my ribcage as I tried thinking of the possibility of my father being the one who was sabotaging Arturo’s work. Just the idea of that scared the life out of me, and that was not something that I wanted to think of.I looked at my phone for a few seconds as I sat on the edge of the bed, debating on whether or not to call him. I knew that he wouldn’t answer my questions, and calling him now could risk things that I didn’t want to think of. However, I couldn’t help but worry as I got lost in my thoughts. I went to my bedroom right after Arturo left with the men, and that alone was enough to make me even more nervous than I already was. Whatever happened between Arturo and Valeria, my husband was angry, hell, he seemed to be furious, and that was not something that I was used to when it came to how he was.Him locking her up and taking all means of communication only worried me, especially since I couldn’t find an explanation to give to why he had done so. T
Arturo:I tightened my arm around my sister who I knew was going through the pain of accepting a mating bond being broken.I knew that her wolf would be agonizing, but I also knew that she and her wolf would be thankful for that later. Their baby was here, and that was something that was not going to change, and Xavier would be paying greatly for what he made her go through. It started with his face being broken, and now, he was going to lose his child. Next, I was going to make sure that he left the city to never think of returning back, that is, of course, unless he planned on losing his head.I nodded at Donatello to take Valeria inside as Lorenzo and I stood in front of Xavier who was whimpering in pain outside, in front of our house’s porch. I wouldn’t let him inside my house to do it, and I never would. The man was lucky enough to be alive after what I heard and learned.Flashback:“He did what?” Donatello asked, his eyes hardening as he processed what I just told him. I knew fo
Sienna:I stood up from the couch as I saw Arturo walking inside.His eyes met mine for a second, softening when he saw how tense I was before he slowly approached me. He knew that his reaction worried me, but I knew that he didn’t know my reasons. I doubted that he was aware of what my father did considering what I caught from his sister and what happened.However, that didn’t last for too long as Donatello walked toward him.His eyes met mine for a second and I frowned when I saw that he looked away completely, seeming more worried than I thought he would be. Considering the fact that the man was my father, I didn’t really understand why Donatello would be as worried, but then again, something else could have happened.Arturo frowned at Donatello’s sight before he nodded, silently dismissing him. My husband walked toward me and slowly wrapped his arms around me as he pulled me in for a hug. A heavy feeling settled in my chest, and it was one that I couldn’t find the right words to v
Arturo: I debated on whether or not to proceed with my conversation with Sienna before deciding against it. She needed to calm down, and that was something that was not going to happen if I pressed on her. Therefore, I chose to leave the house with Donatello who was currently waiting for me in the car. The man looked like he saw a ghost, and raising an eyebrow, I couldn’t help but glare at the man who chose to speak to my mate about something like this instead of me. The idea of the two of them talking was something, but the fact that she learned about something that happened at MY club before I did was a whole other thing. “Before you start asking questions…” “You told her before you told me about her father being at the club.” I said, stopping the man whose eyes dropped to his lap as he avoided mine. “Why?” “This is why.” He said, showing me his phone to reveal the almost trashed club. I frowned at the sight of it, but that wasn’t what caught my attention. It was the fact tha
She smiled as she watched her husband walking out of the house, holding their daughter in his arms.It has been months since Sienna has given birth, and she couldn’t be happier with her relationship with the Alpha of Alphas. He was the Lycan that everyone feared, and yet, he was her savior, her love, her passion, and her desire. He smiled when he took sight of her before approaching her slowly. “Are you okay?” He asked, watching as his daughter went to her mother, wanting to be held by her. Contasina giggled as Sienna wrapped her arms around her, holding her to her chest before she kissed her.“I am fine. I just needed some air.” Sienna said, looking up at the sky. Today marked her mother’s birthday, and though Arturo didn’t know about it, he could tell that something was wrong with his mate. She would rarely ever open up about her mom. In her mind, she feared that speaking about her wouldn’t do her justice, and she was thankful for the fact that no one ever pressured her to do som
Sienna:I screamed as loud as I could as I tried pushing my baby out of me.“Come on, Luna, you can do it.” Valeria encouraged as she held my hand. I took deep and slow breaths as I tried fighting off the cramps which seemed to be tearing my insides out. My heart raced, and I knew that my mate could feel my pain, that didn’t make things any better though. The man was probably outside losing his mind as his father and two betas stopped and held him down.“Come on, Sienna, you can do it.” Ayla said, massaging my shoulder as she dabbed a wet cloth to my sweaty forehead. “Can’t I just get up and walk?” I asked, taking deep breaths as I waited for the next contraction. “If the baby can come out as I am laying, I am sure that it would just slip down when I’m walking… FUCK!” “You need to push, Sienna, just keep pushing.” Valeria said, choosing to ignore my question. I glared at her and forced myself to push one more time, my body feeling like it was set on fire as I waited for the pain to
Arturo:Six months later:I walked around the garden with my beauty who was holding her stomach as our baby kicked.I couldn’t help but smile at the feeling of contentment that I was having for her being around me the way that she was.The happiness that I felt was one that I knew I couldn’t describe and I couldn’t help but feel like my heart skipped a few beats as I recalled the two of us getting married and dancing on the dance floor in front of everyone who was watching us on our wedding day.Flashback:“Put a smile on at least, people are watching us.” I said, catching her attention as she looked down at my chest. I knew that she was careful not to step on my foot, but looking up at me, she raised an eyebrow.“I do believe that they are all aware that the two of us are nowhere near being lovers, why have to fake it?” She asked as I twirled her before pulling her closer to my chest. I wrapped my arms around her, her back was to my chest, and resting my chin on her shoulder, I kisse
Sienna:I lay on my bed as I tried to calm my racing heartbeat, thinking about everything that happened in the past few weeks.I had to admit, it seemed to me like I was the one who actually paid the price of everything that happened, mostly because I could tell that everyone was happy with the ‘achievement’ that we have managed to do. However, to me, it just seemed like a heavy weight had settled on my shoulders, and now, I really didn’t know how to get rid of it.Arturo opened the door without needing to knock, I knew that he was well aware that I wasn’t moving, meaning that I was either sitting on the couch or laying on bed. He sighed when he took sight of me before slowly approaching. He didn’t say a word, he didn’t need to, as he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in for a hug. I purred in response and curled up in his arms, thankful for his presence. In my head, our relationship was the only thing that I have managed to gain out of this conflict. If anything, I knew that it
Arturo: “So, that explains it all.” I said, looking at dad who nodded. We were all sitting in the living room as I filled him in on what happened during the time that he and mom were gone. “I take it that the two of you are now in charge of two packs, and one of them has no elders.” He said, raising an eyebrow. “This one is the one by blood and family, but how do you guarantee that they wouldn’t end up rebelling? You know that with no elders, and with you residing here, it would be almost impossible for us to keep under control.” “Agreed, but that is a whole other story that I want to discuss with Sienna later. I need to get her opinion on this first before opening up about anything, but I would be letting you know about what we decide. Considering the fact that the pack is hers by blood, I don’t want to double cross her as well.” I said, looking at mom who nodded. Sienna was in the bedroom. She needed to rest a bit, and I wanted her to calm down before the two of us got to talki
Sienna: I smiled at my husband as the two of us went back to the pack. The fact that he was more than willing and open to sacrifice a lot for me only made me admire him more than I already did. The man did not only help me get back what was mine, but he also stood up to those who took it from me, and that was something that I knew that I couldn’t have done for myself. “Thank you for today, Arturo.” I said, catching his attention. He frowned in confusion before turning to face my blushing self. However, I couldn’t contain what I was feeling toward him. The way he spoke to me, and the way he stood up to the elders for me. His softening tone when his eyes would meet mine, all that played in my head like a beautiful scenario that I couldn’t escape. “Baby girl, I didn’t do anything for you to be thanking me for. If anything, I would have done a lot more, but I knew that pushing you to more limits would only make you a lot more nervous than you already were.” He said softly. “Arturo,
Arturo:I wrapped my arm around my wife as the two of us were led toward the field where the pack members were gathered.William, their wolf elder let out a low growl, forcing all the other wolves to submit and get on their knees. Their hearts raced against their ribcages, and I could see their fear in their eyes. However, the man didn’t flinch or move an inch.“Each one of you here is held accountable for the harm and abuse that Luna Sienna, Alpha of this pack, has gone through.” William said, glaring at the pack members. “Most of you, if not all, knew that she was being harmed, and yet, neither one of you took the stand to the witch who lived amongst the pack. Regardless of the fact that all of you knew that wolf and witch relations are illegal based on our laws to ensure the safety of the pack grounds, neither one of you took the stand to note that you had the hybrid living among your side.” The pack members trembled, and Eli looked down at Sienna’s feet as they had her forced to
Sienna:My heart raced against my ribcage as I saw the hellhounds dragging Marcus toward the doors which had opened. He tried escaping them, but wherever he went, they would just appear, ten times his size, and would just drag him. This time, three of them dragged him by his collar before another man appeared, walking out of the door to look at him. Arturo nodded at the man before he nodded and smiled, taking a step back. The smile was faint, but it was there, and then, as if nothing happened, everything went completely quiet.Arturo shifted back to human in a second before wrapping his arms around me, pulling me in for a hug. My heart raced against my ribcage and I couldn’t help the blush that formed on my cheeks as I felt his naked body against mine. “You’re naked and there are kids in the pack who have fled their houses.” I said, and he chuckled before kissing the crown of my head. He pulled away to look me dead in the eye and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my lips bef
Arturo:I pulled Sienna behind me as I tried moving her from the forming fire.A low growl escaped my chest, alerting the pack members who were outside the pack’s boundaries, masking their scents with the herbs that were provided by the werewolf elders.Though I didn’t trust using them at first, I feared the pack members getting injured or them trying to kill us; however, I was surprised when that was not the case. If anything, it seemed like they were genuinely trying to stop a war from forming.“Arturo, what are we going to do?” Sienna asked, breaking the train of my thoughts. I purred in response, wanting her to calm down despite the situation that we were in. Eli knew how to take advantage of a weak moment that my wife would be having in such a situation and that was not something that I wanted. If anything, I knew for fucking fact that I was going to make that witch pay for what she was doing; however, for now, I needed my wife to be calm through this situation.Her wolf was inju
