Sienna:Warmth.It was the first thing I felt as I slowly opened my eyes, the soft light of morning slipping through the curtains. The bed beneath me was warm and unfamiliar, firm, larger than mine, and it smelled faintly of Damon. I smelled like him…It took me a second to remember where I was.His
Damon:I sat behind my desk, finally back in my office at the edge of the territory, far enough from the estate to give me space. The blinds were pulled halfway open, letting in narrow strips of morning light that cut across the room like sharp blades.It had been weeks since I last stepped into thi
Sienna:I was halfway through the reports I’d been meaning to finalize when my phone vibrated across the desk. I frowned in confusion before taking a glance at it. No one ever bothered calling me, and for a moment, I feared that something might have happened to Isla.However, the name flashing on th
Sienna:I stood frozen just inside the doorway of the conference room, every instinct in me screaming for me to turn around and walk right back out. But I couldn’t. Not with Giovanni’s eyes locked on mine.“Please,” he said smoothly, gesturing to the seat across from him. “Don’t let me interrupt you
Damon:The second I picked up the phone and heard the panic in Sienna’s voice, I was already grabbing my keys.She didn’t have to explain. She didn’t have to beg.Just the sound of her breath trembling over the line, the unspoken fear in the way she said my name, it was enough to set my blood on fir
Sienna:The room was quiet, save for the soft hum of the bathroom fan. I curled up on Damon’s bed, my knees tucked under me, his scent wrapping around me like a second skin. I wasn’t sure when I’d started feeling safe in this room, when his scent had become familiar, comforting even, but it had happ
Damon:Sienna had left the job.That alone should have made me feel better. Should have eased the tension in my chest knowing she wouldn’t be walking into another trap set by Giovanni, or sitting in a room where every corner was controlled by his influence. It should have given me a sense of comfort
Sienna tensed beside me. I could feel her confusion, her discomfort, but I kept my hand on her lower back, grounding her. She needed this.Lysandra leaned forward. “What formality? Calling an Omega Luna now I really am impressed. How? Does your mother approve of this? Or maybe wait? She does encoura
Sienna:The warmth of the afternoon sun barely filtered through the windows of our room, but I could feel the coldness in Damon’s demeanor more than anything. He was distant again, not physically, but in the way his eyes didn’t hold mine for too long, in the way his jaw clenched when he thought I wa
“Marissa stepped in. She ran inside the building. She protected you. She brought you back. Your mother jumped out the window. Marissa was going to jump too. Giovanni stood and watched. The building collapsed, and she burned and died inside.” Father explained, looking away from me for a moment. “Sien
Damon:“She said to ask Alpha Kael why he stood there and watched her mother burn alive.”Carter’s words sent a wave of shock through the room. I turned toward him, stunned, every muscle in my body tensing. This was the last thing that I would have expected to think that things were being played thi
Delilah:I stayed longer than I meant to.It wasn't because I wanted to, but it was because this was the one place where I could be who I was, where I could remove the mask of strength that I was forced to wear, where I could just sit without Giovanni's men lurking around me.I still don't know what
Ethan:There were things in this world I could handle, pain, betrayal, even death. But not this. Not her. Not when I knew how wrong this was and yet no one I could not stop how I was feeling no matter how hard I tried.I leaned against the stone column outside the west wing, my arms folded across
Damon:“I don't understand how she managed to get inside the building towards Sienna's office and why no one stopped her, Why security didn't just stop her. What did she give them as an explanation and how did she find out where she was working? How did she find out where the building was?” I asked,
Delilah:The moment I stepped into the study, I knew something was wrong.Actually, it was the moment that I walked inside the house, when I noticed the tension within the house and when I was told that he was waiting for me in his office.The maids avoided eye contact. The air was heavier than usua
Damon:The house was quiet when I got home, too quiet.It was as if the light of the home that I have gotten used to seemed to dim down in a way that I could not explain.There was no sound of Isla’s babbles, no soft hum of Sienna’s voice echoing from the hall. The usual warmth that filled these wal
Sienna:The office was quiet, save for the soft tapping of keys and the hum of the coffee machine in the corner. Damon wasn’t here today, something about needing to deal with a few matters that didn’t concern the company. He hadn’t elaborated, and I hadn’t asked.I did not want to intervene, though
