Marcus: We walked out of the house without saying a word as I ignored the pain that was in my chest at the force of the woman’s punch. The fact that she actually dared to punch me the way that she did annoyed me more than I thought that she would. It was as if what I told her and what mom promised made no difference. I found my tongue completely tied to the point where I didn’t even know what to say. We got inside the car and mom glared at me the second we drove out of the Estate. “You had your tongue eaten by some…” “You said that your hex blocked their mating bond.” I said, stopping mom. “You told me that everything was going to go according to plan, and yet, I can tell now that you had nothing going according to whatever we planned. What do you think the other pack members would say when we went back to them? You know for fact that they were waiting for her ‘positive’ response about her giving up being the pack’s Alpha for them to submit to me as their Alpha.” “It blocked
Sienna: I walked into the bedroom, ignoring the clench that I felt in my chest as I felt in my chest at the fact that I couldn’t even get my mother’s revenge. I couldn’t kill the woman who was the main reason behind my mother’s death. I knew that had it been her, things wouldn’t have reached what they have. If anything, I knew that my parents wouldn’t have reached that point. At least, my mother wouldn’t have been killed for him to be with Eli. Flashback: “Why? What have I done wrong to deserve such a fate?” She asked, looking at my father with pleading eyes. “I gave you a beautiful daughter who you know loves the steps that you take. I have practically worshiped you as mate, why are you doing this to me?” I didn’t even know what they were talking about at the time. I was in the playing room, and they thought that I couldn’t hear or see them. But they had my attention. Despite me being no older than four, I knew that my mother was crying and I knew that I couldn’t do anything abou
Arturo: I wrapped my arm around my wife as the two of us entered an Italian restaurant that I rented for the two of us for the afternoon. The bookings on the restaurant were initially fully booked, but seeing my name and the money that I put, the manager didn’t think twice before choosing to accept allowing us to book the place for the next five hours. He didn’t even mind refunding his customers double the prices of their initial bookings as compensation. “Where are we going, Arturo?” Sienna asked, and I smiled, taking her hand in mine, intertwining our fingers. “The place is literally empty. We are the only ones here.” “I am aware.” I said, smiling at her and she frowned. “I rented the place for us for the day.” “You’re being serious right now?” She asked, making me chuckle before bringing her knuckle to my lips. I kissed it gently and she smiled as her cheeks reddened. “Yes,” I answered, wrapping my arm around her once again as I guided her toward the one table that was set
Sienna: I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my lips at the fact that my husband wanted to start a family with me. It was something that I wouldn’t have imagined before. But the way he looked at me told me that he was being completely honest. I ran my fingers through my hair untangling it before I brushed it. The fact that I knew that we still needed to find out who killed my father didn’t slip my mind. The man died at Arturo’s club, and that fact alone was disturbing. I didn’t even understand what he was doing at the club. The man wasn’t invited here, Arturo would have at least known about it, but judging by the fact that he was there when it wasn’t even working hours, and that Arturo wasn’t there, I couldn’t understand what was going on. Marcus’s eyes meeting mine played in my mind. The man who was a stranger to me was my brother. The two of us didn’t even know one another and yet, it seemed like we were supposed to. The fact that he looked familiar didn’t even escape my
Arturo:I walked out of the house to find Donatello waiting for me in the car.The two of us had to go to the club to investigate what happened. It was not something that I planned to let go of. I knew that Sienna would be waiting to hear about what happened, and though she didn't mention it I knew that she was thankful for what I was doing.“How is she?” Donatello asked, knowing that my wife was more broken than she let out. It upset me to see that she hid her pain. And though I understood why she was used to doing so, I didn't like it.“She is better, though I don’t really know if she is being as honest as I would like her to be about this. It is something that upset me to see that she didn’t trust me enough to tell me how she really felt at times, but I couldn’t blame her. The two of us have had enough conflicts in the short period that we have been married to just stop being together, and all of them seemed to come from me.The thing was, it killed me inside to know that she was i
Sienna:I smiled as I entered the room to find Ayla standing in front of her children’s crib, purring at them. I purred in response, making her jump in surprise, and smiling, I gave her a gentle and assuring nod.“My apologies, I didn’t mean to scare you.” I said, and she lowered her eyes to the ground. “I am sorry, I was not aware of your presence, Luna, I was a bit distracted with the kids that I did not notice you arriving.” She said, and I nodded in assurance. “You needn’t worry, Ayla. I came to check on you and the kids as I have been a bit too busy to do so lately.” I said, and she smiled. She took a step back, silently asking me to approach her kids; however, I stayed still and simply watched from a distance. I couldn’t help but recall the incident between us, and knowing that she might still be upset that I had forced the nurses to take her kids to the incubator, I didn’t know how she would react. Therefore, I chose to keep my distance.“You are still upset with me.” She st
Arturo:I frowned when I entered the house as an uneasy feeling settled in my chest.The smell of blood filled my nostrils, and the thing was, I didn’t even know whose blood it was.Donatello frowned, and following the scent, we walked toward the garden to find blood in front of one of the trees. The smell of my wife’s shampoo filled my nostrils and I frowned before shaking my head. I didn’t wait for Donatello to comment before I ran toward the bedroom, hoping to find her asleep only for my heart to drop when I realized that her bed wasn’t even slept on.“Alpha?” Donatello asked, frowning in confusion before I shook my head in confusion. She wouldn’t have left the pack. I knew that she would have called me if that happened.“Check all the security cameras,” I said, holding my ground as I felt my ground shake under me. The last thing that I expected was to find that my wife wasn’t here when I came back. The fact that she didn’t call me before she went to bed was confusing enough to m
Sienna:My heart raced against my ribcage as the vision of my father being slaughtered played in my head.Flashback:“Do you really believe that you are worthy of being Alpha when it is me who killed your Alpha to begin with?” He asked, glaring daggers at me as I woke up. The smell of piss, vomit, and blood filled my nostrils as I tried focusing my blurry vision on him despite the headache that I was having. The man couldn’t be serious about what he was doing. He couldn’t be seriously challenging my husband using his own wife for his own advantage.He had me tied to a chair as he glared daggers at me. My heart raced against my ribcage, and I couldn’t help but fear what he would be doing to me if this proceeded. I knew that things were not going to be ending well, especially if Arturo heard of this right now. The smell of dead bodies had goosebumps rising over my body, making my heart race as I tried fighting the fear that was growing in my system.“You killed your own father?” I asked
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
