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 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
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 walked through the garden toward the Lycan that was to be my husband.My father, who had his arm looped with my own, looked at me, reminding me of the importance of this. My heart aching with each step that I took as I remembered what he had done to my mother twenty years ago when I was barely five. And looking at his ‘mate’, or as I called her, the scandal that he chose to be with, I had to fight back trying to run away, knowing the consequences that would happen if I tried.I nodded, not saying a word, knowing that the wolves’ fate lay in the hands of this marriage, and approaching him, I had to fight back the low growl that threatened to escape my chest as my wolf sensed his danger. It was one stronger and scarier than the one that I have lived through growing up in the place that I should have called home.The King of Lycans, and the Capo dei Capi, Alpha Arturo de’ Medici, the man who was to be my husband.He extended his hand to me, and taking his, I took a step forward
Arturo:I wrapped my arm around Sienna’s waist, pulling her to my chest as the two of us danced. Knowing that we were the center of attention, the two of us tried to focus on what we ‘learned’ in the dance classes they had us taking a week before the wedding. The two of us swayed to the music, while her arm was wrapped around my neck, and her other held my hand as if her life depended on it. Regardless of her grip, I couldn't miss her racing heart and shaking hand as she held mine as if frightened.“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 kissed her c
Sienna:I was about to respond when the dressing room’s door was knocked, breaking our conversation.Arturo frowned and cursed under his breath before taking a step back, letting me go in the process.He wrapped his hand around my fist, pulling me away from the door before opening it, revealing his mother who frowned in confusion when she saw the two of us inside. She crossed her arms over her chest, a small smile creeping to her lips as she probably thought that the two of us were getting intimate in the dressing room.“The plane leaves in an hour and a half and we need to hit the road to get to the airport. I think whatever it is that you were doing can wait until you are back home, how about it?” She asked, smiling at the two of us. Arturo cursed under his breath and walked out of the room, slamming the door shut, making me jump in surprise. My heart raced against my ribcage, and I couldn’t help but notice that my hands shook as I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I walked
Arturo: I watched as Sienna sat on her chair beside the window. Her heart raced as she sat, clearly anxious. The family was either asleep, or busying themselves with whatever they had to tend to. My parents were on a different plane for security reasons, each one of us took their own planes. Sienna and I haven’t said a word to one another since what happened at the wedding, and it didn’t take me long to realize that she was avoiding any interaction with me to begin with. And though even mom noticed on the runway that we weren’t walking, especially when she believed that we were growing ‘intimate’, she sensed that something might have happened. But thankfully, choosing to put whatever assumptions she had in mind, she didn’t say a word. I got up from my seat. The plane was already halfway back to New York, and it wouldn’t be long until we were home, at the Estate, expected to fulfill our duties as Alpha and Luna toward one another. The ceremony, that she as a wolf expected, was not
Sienna:My heart raced as we arrived at the Estate, or in other words, the pack’s grounds. The fear and nervousness of what was to come started eating me, and though I could tell that Alpha Arturo was trying to calm me down, somehow at least, I couldn’t help but feel myself grow more anxious with each passing minute.The car came to a stop in front of the front door, and opening his door, the driver rushed to my side, opening the door for me as a bodyguard opened the door for the Alpha. Arturo walked toward me and nodded in assurance. The fact that I would be the only wolf among a pack of Lycans scared the life out of me. These people could easily kill me alive, and just thinking about that made my heart drop to my stomach as I took a step forward. “No one is going to hurt you, Sienna.” Alpha Arturo assured, his voice softer than it had been, even on the plane when he offered me a drink. I had to admit, at first, I hesitated, thinking that he might end up killing me, but not smelli

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
