Arturo: “Why is the whole place empty?” Sienna asked, frowning when she saw the dim lights from outside. “Are you sure that it is open?" "It is open, Sienna.” I said, getting out of the car. I walked to her side and opened the door for her watching as she smiled, silently thanking me. I simply nodded in response. “The place has no cars parked, and literally no one inside.” Sienna said, pointing at the place, making me chuckle. “Yes, because the whole place is for us for the day. This would give the two of us a little more privacy, and considering that we are both wolves, getting the privacy of not having humans around is a lot more suitable for the two of us, don’t you think?” I asked, making her eyes widen in surprise. I smiled at her and wrapped my arm around her waist. I guided her toward the restaurant where the waiters and manager had already opened the door for us. She smiled when she saw us walking inside, and I nodded at her to guide us toward our table. She looked at the
Sienna: “Where are we going now?” I asked, shaking my head in question at Arturo who has been driving for the past hour. The two of us have spent most of the day at the restaurant, mostly because we found ourselves talking about so many random things that we didn’t notice the time running, and it wasn’t until he got a phone call that we realized that it was a while past noon. “I got a small meeting call and invitation that the two of us would need to attend. I hope you don’t mind, it would be at another restaurant.” He said, glancing at me before going back to focusing on the road. “I don’t look presentable for such a meeting. Please don’t get me wrong, but I don’t want to embarrass you between your colleagues.” I said, blushing as I looked down at my lap. Having told me that we were not going anywhere extravagant, especially since it was morning, I simply put on a white shirt and jeans, but this was not something that I expected. “Don’t worry, even I am not ready for such a meet
Arturo: Sienna and I entered the restaurant, and it wasn’t long before the two of us realized that we were the literal center of attention. Girls around us looked at the two of us, men admired my wife, not that I could blame them. She was beautiful as it was without trying to be, therefore, with her makeup, hair, and dress, she looked breathtaking, and the men acknowledged it. I wrapped my arm around her waist as we reached the table where the men who I was going to meet sat. The women looked at her with wide eyes, clearly astonished by the fact that I was actually with someone. Being humans, neither one of them knew about the arranged marriage deal. The only ones that did know to begin with were us werewolves and Lycans, we chose to keep our secrets and issues away from even the vampires who could end up using that against us. “Arturo, nice to see that you brought your bride.” Pascal, a French capo said, smirking at me as he kept his eyes on Sienna who simply smiled. “C’est un
Sienna: “I think that is enough wine for the night.” Arturo said, shaking his head at the bartender as he approached me with a third glass of wine. Though I did agree with him, I just wasn’t really sure why he didn’t want me drinking. I put my hand on his knee, squeezing it gently as I raised an amused eyebrow. “Want to tell me why you think it is enough for me to have two when you are on your fifth scotch glass?” “Because I said so, baby girl. I don’t want you getting drunk to the point where things grew messed up, and these men are not ones to mess with.” Arturo said, and I nodded, choosing not to argue. The fact that I could tell that he, or more specifically, his wolf was growing protective was not a lie. Though I did try to keep the topic to myself, the man was making it obvious to a blind man that he didn’t want anyone looking at me. The men that DID try to look at me were either glared at or even threatened. The women who were now busy tending to their half drunk husbands
Arturo: “Can I ask what the fuck actually happened in that bathroom?” I asked, shaking my head at Sienna who was laying on the hospital bed after one of the doctors tended to her.Doctor Claire was one of my doctors who also worked at a human hospital. It came in handy in such situations to know that someone was there in a fully equipped hospital. The two of us have been here for the past few hours as she waited for the IV which was attached to her hand as the fluid was almost done. “Nothing happened. She told me that she was your mate and asked how I managed to get into your head when I wasn’t. For some reason, she grew angry when I didn’t answer, and then you saw what happened after the fight.” Sienna said, and I nodded, taking a deep breath. “I rejected Anika years ago. She accepted the rejection and married Nikolay. Yes, I will have to admit, she did go through a few complications before marrying him, but in the end the result was the same, and she married the man that she cla
Sienna: I sat inside the car, looking out the window as Arturo cleared everything at the hospital. His words played in my head, reminding me of my father’s words and the way that the man treated me. The anger that I felt inside me was one that I couldn’t describe, and it wasn’t the fact that he said what he has. I knew that he was an Alpha, and I knew to respect his position as Alpha. It was the fact that he saw me as that weak female, and that was something that I was forced to live with under the same roof with my father who treated me as if I were some sort of abomination. It was something that I didn’t want to feel. Arturo got inside the car without saying a word. He didn’t even bother looking at me, not that I expected him to do so. He started the car and drove off, however, I couldn’t help but notice that he wasn’t taking the road toward the Estate. “Where are we going?” “A different house. The two of us are going to be spending some time alone, and away from the family. At
Arturo:I frowned as I walked out of the room at the scent that I caught.The feeling that I got was an all too familiar one, and my wolf waking to his senses didn’t make things any better. And the way she looked at me told me that she felt the same spark, though whether it was our mating bond or our bodies getting into heat, now that was something that I didn’t know.The fact that Claire told us that I couldn’t get her pregnant was a polite way of her telling me that sexual interaction was going to be a minimum. I couldn’t risk the woman getting hurt or injured and the main reason why I was bringing her here was to heal. Her getting hurt while being here would literally only be a complete waste of time.“Boss…” I heard one of the butlers, Alfred, call.I turned to face the man and raised an eyebrow, I waited for what he had to tell me. The man has known me long enough to know that I didn’t like talking much, therefore, I was thankful for the fact of him getting to the point whenever
Sienna:“The woman literally came to your house, and I am the one to blame?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at Arturo who smirked at my reaction.“Yes, because you as my wife should have been resting while you let ME take care of it. You could have gotten hurt, and I believe that the injury on your shoulder tells you that she would not have hesitated to hurt you again.” He said, his tone more sarcastic than it ever was. I had to fight back growling at the man who shook his head at me. “And I don’t understand why you are making a fuss out of the fact that she came to MY house right now. The doctor told you to rest, and yet, you chose to get into an argument with a Lycan, more specifically, the same Lycan who initially put you in this situation.”“I am your wife, and I don’t believe that she has the right to come to a newlyweds house. Whether or not our marriage is arranged, she does not know that, and that is the least of my concerns. As long as my house, my boundaries, and OUR rules are
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
