Dean's POV...When I saw Sierra standing there, looking at me, I felt a wave of apprehension wash over me. I knew she would be upset to find me coming out of Alex's room."What are you doing?" she asked, her voice filled with concern. I walked over to her and placed my hands on her shoulders."I thought you would be sleeping by now. What happened?" I asked, trying to gauge her emotions.She rested her head on my chest as I wrapped my arms around her. "I can't sleep, Dean. I feel so sad not seeing Aria. I wonder if she's looking for me. I just want to forget what William did, but the more I think about it, the more it pains me. I feel like I'm being used. Why can't William just let me be?"I gently pulled her away from me and looked into her eyes. "Listen, Sierra. I love you, and no matter what happens, I will be by your side. I promise you, we will get Aria back because she is my daughter too. And as for Alex, I told her to leave before I even woke up tomorrow morning."I wiped away t
Linda's POV...I despise her, I despise everything about her. Ever since the first day I laid eyes on her, I've had the urge to strike her. I haven't been to the castle in so long, but today I am going there, and I will get Dean back no matter what.Anger courses through me, and just as I am about to leave, Lisa blocks my path. "Don't you think you should let him be for now? He has already rejected you and has someone else in his life. Why don't you just let him be, Linda? Dean is a shameless Alpha."Her words infuriate me, and without thinking, I slap her across the cheek. "Just because you're my twin doesn't make you my mother. Dean is mine, and I will not let that girl take him away from me."I walk away without even glancing back at Lisa. I never needed her help; she was never there for me in the first place, so why would she want to be here for me now?With anger burning inside me, I quickly drive to the castle. Dean needs to be mine again, and I should be his Luna.As I arrive a
Alex pov..I couldn't believe that he still wanted her back after everything.I stood there, watching him cry like a baby. I wondered how long he had been hiding his tears, and for a minute, I didn't care.I walked over to him, standing in front of him, only for him to stare up at me."Just look at you. Now everyone will see how weak you are. Sierra doesn't love you anymore, why can't you forget about her?" I said, immediately regretting my words.He stood up, staring at me with anger in his eyes. "Don't you ever say that. I love Sierra. And because of you, I regret ever falling into your evil plan in the first place," he said, his voice filled with pain.As he was about to walk away, I sat down and laughed. "Sierra will never come back to you, no matter what. But it's funny that your child actually called someone else father instead of you. I pity you, William. You actually let Dean win, and he has taken Sierra away. I know I have to stay out of it, but I am only trying to help you.
Alex pov .I slowly open my eyes and find myself in a hospital room. As I try to stand up, a sharp pain shoots through my stomach. I instinctively place my hands on my belly, only to realize that it's no longer swollen. My heart sinks as I let out a silent sob. I can't believe it. I can't bear to lose my child again.In a panic, I scream out, and the door bursts open. The pack doctor rushes in, and I remember him from before. He tries to calm me down and tells me to relax, but I don't care. I need answers."Where is my baby?" I demand, trying to stand up again, but the doctor holds me down, urging me to stay still.I can't hold back my anger any longer. I wfelt like to kill William. I can't bear the thought of losing my child because of him. I want him to suffer like I am suffering."Where is William?" I yell, my voice filled with rage. Soon the door open and William walks, quickly pulling my hands away from the doctor's."Alex, you need to calm down," he pleads. "Listen to the doctor
Dean pov..I have been with Linda for a long time, but I am in love with Sierra and I want her to be my Luna forever. However, I need Linda to understand that I no longer have feelings for her.It has been a day since I told Linda to stay away, and I know how hurt she must have felt, but I think she needs to move on.I sat by the beach, watching Aria play around. I feel so happy being her father, even if I am not her biological father.I couldn't understand why William was so blind to see how blessed he is to have Sierra as a mate, but he rejected her even when she was pregnant with his child.Just then, Aria ran towards me, holding my hands and trying to get me up."Daddy, come play with me."I smiled as I picked her up and spun around with her. I didn't care that she wasn't my biological daughter; I would still treat her as if she were mine alone.After a while, I saw Sierra walk out and stand there, staring at us. I looked at Aria and whispered in her ear,"Go tell mommy to come pl
Linda pov .I couldn't stop crying. He never loved me from the beginning, so why did he promise to love me back then when he knew he was going to break up with me?I closed my eyes, not wanting to think about it, but the more I tried, the more the pain kept coming in.I felt a presence close to me, and as I looked up, it was Lisa. I looked away, not wanting to stare at her face. After realizing she was still standing there, I looked up and spoke."What, are you here to talk sense into me or laugh at me or even tell me how stupid I was?"Lisa sat close to me as she moved towards me and handed me a wipe."Take this, I think you really need it."I looked at her and took the wipes from her, using them to wipe away my tears."Did I make a mistake falling in love with him in the first place? Was I so blinded by love that I never knew a day like this would come and I would regret it?"Lisa held me and pulled me into a hug, and I just stayed there, crying hard as if I were a complete mess.Aft
Lisa pov..I sat there, watching Drake as he continued to drink, as if I wasn't even in front of him."So, do you accept my deal?" I asked him.He stopped drinking and stared at me. "I really don't understand what you're trying to say. You want me to do the same process as before? At first, it was easy, but now I think it will be difficult. Dean will never let me go near his Luna, and whatever you're planning, it won't work this time."I smiled as I stared at him and moved my face closer. "Drake, I know you, and a man like you, I don't think you'll say no to something like this. I'm offering you a big deal, and I'll give you a lot of money in return. All I want is to make sure Dean belongs to my sister, and for that to happen, I need Sierra out of the picture."We both stared at each other for a second, and he stood up and walked towards me. "Well, I don't mind anything, but if you want me to go along with your plans, then you'll also have to do something for me as well."Looking at h
Sierra pov…Dean has gone for a meeting and wouldn't be back until later in the night. I decided to spend time with Aira and make her feel happy so she wouldn't feel lonely without Dean.I felt uncertain about what I was doing, unsure if I was doing anything wrong that I couldn't quite put my finger on.I sat and watched Aira play, her joyful smile bringing warmth to my heart. I tried to imagine if it was William instead, but the more I thought about him and what he had done, the angrier I became.I sat there, trying to relax and think about what to do for the rest of the day since Dean wasn't around. I was grateful that no one had come to the castle because I didn't know what I would say if they kept looking at me as if they wanted to harm me. After a while, I heard the sound of the gate opening and wondered if Dean had returned so soon. I stayed seated, not bothering to stand up because if it was Dean, he would surely know where to find me.After a while, I heard footsteps behind me
William..Alex has become a torment in my life, thwarting all my attempts to keep her at bay. She is so different to handle, and I know I am foolish to admit it, but all I want is a semblance of peace of mind, yet now there seems to be no way I can get Sierra back into my life or protect my daughter.As I sat down, pondering my predicament, I heard yelling outside, prompting me to wonder what was happening beyond my walls. I walked over to the window and peered outside, only to see Henry with an angry expression on his face, his wolf form visibly present. Acting swiftly, I made my way out to where he stood, and as soon as he noticed me, he shifted back to his human form, though the anger still etched on his face."Where is she?" Henry bellowed, striding towards me. I tried to make sense of what he was trying to convey, but before I could react, he loomed close, gripping my shoulders and pulling me towards him.I stared at my ex-beta in disbelief, never expecting him to come to my pack
Henry pov..Observing Sierra walk up the stairs, I felt a wave of worry wash over me. I was unsure of what to do next, but if William was indeed the one behind Aria's disappearance, I vowed to make sure he regretted his actions as an Alpha.Stepping outside, I paused for a moment, deciding to take a walk around the castle grounds. I pondered how Alpha Dean would react to the news of Sierra's missing child. I knew he must have formed a connection with the child, and the situation could potentially escalate if he discovered that the child was missing.As I strolled around, I halted when I caught whispers in the air. Curious, I slowly made my way towards the source of the sound. To my surprise, I spotted Linda standing with one of the maids, engaged in a hushed conversation. I wondered why they chose such a secluded spot and what they were discussing.Hiding to avoid detection, I decided to eavesdrop on their conversation."As I promised, I assured you that no one will find out. Thank yo
Sierra..It has been a day since I have lost my own joy - my daughter. I am gripped by fear at the thought of contacting Dean; I don't know how she will react or if he will blame me for being so careless. But how could the maid have lost my daughter?I glare at the maid in anger as I try to calm myself down so I won't do anything stupid. I was burning with fury inside, feeling like breaking every bone in the maid's body."Where is my child?" I say softly, so I won't do anything reckless."I said, where is my child?" This time I erupted with anger, my eyes a shade of blue, and just as I was about to get violent, I was stopped by Linda."You need to stop, Sierra. We are going to look for your child, okay?" Linda said.I look at Linda with tearful eyes. How does she expect me to be calm when I don't know where my daughter is? Who took her? The maid's blank face doesn't tell me anything.I sit back on the couch, placing my hands over my face so I won't cry. I feel lost, like I am on the v
Sierra..As we entered the room, I sank into the comfortable couch while Linda, with a concerned look on her face, settled beside me. A strange unease crept over me, as if something was amiss. My gaze kept drifting towards Drake, and I felt a sensation building up inside me, like the urge to flee or the need to act at any moment."Are you okay?" Linda's voice broke through my thoughts, and I turned to her with a weak smile, responding, "I'm fine. I was just thinking if you'd like something to eat or drink."Linda chuckled softly, placing her hand on mine as she spoke, "It's okay. I'm here to spend time with you. Besides, judging by the way Dean rushed off, it seems like he's in a hurry."I smiled back at her and nodded, my eyes flickering back to Drake, who seemed lost in contemplation by the window."Do you need anything?" I inquired, as he turned to me with a grin mirroring Linda's.Glancing at Linda, I decided to answer the question she had posed to me, "Drake has some work to do,
Sierra .."I really don't understand why Linda suddenly wants to be my friend, but I guess she must have changed. Talking to her, I felt a bit happy.As we all sat in the dining room, I started eating, but I noticed Dean was lost in thought. I looked at Aria as I saw the maid feeding her. I moved my hands towards Dean, touching him, and he looked at me.“Are you okay?” I asked him, and he nodded, starting to eat. I kept looking at him, wondering what was on his mind. Was he still thinking about me making friends with Linda? But I already told him she just wants to be a friend.After I finished eating, I stood up, walking over to Aria, and lifted her up.“My sweet little Aria, I hope you are full,” I said with a smile as I placed a kiss on her cheek and handed her over to the maid to take care of her. Just as Dean stood up and was about to walk away, I stood in front of him, stopping him.“What is wrong, Dean? You don't look good since you woke up. Are you worried about anything?”He l
Linda pov..He truly believes that I will back away after causing me so much pain. But I can never back away. I will make him pay for putting me in the dark.As I walk out of the Castle, I get into the car that was waiting for me. I already feel like going home. I don't know if my sister's plan is going to work."How did it go?" Drake asks as he waits for my response. I turn my face away, ignoring him."It's best if you drive, Drake. As you can see, I am weak and I need to get out of here."He doesn't say a word. He starts the car and drives. I look at the castle one last time before looking away.I'm not sure if I should go along with my sister's plan. I feel scared in some way, and I don't know if what I'm doing is right. I know I hate Sierra. I hate her so much for stealing Dean away from me.After we arrive home, I get out of the car and Drake follows suit. Just as I'm about to walk inside, he holds my hands."You don't look good. Is anything wrong?"I look at him and push my hands
Dean pov..It had been a long day, and I couldn't wait to see Sierra and Aria. I knew they might be upset with me for being gone for so long, but I had important duties to fulfill if I wanted to protect my pack.As I walked into my castle, anticipation filled my heart. I longed to hold Sierra in my arms, to kiss her lips and tell her how much I missed her. I also couldn't wait to see Aria and tell her how much I missed playing with her.Laughter echoed through the halls, and I wondered what was happening. I made my way to the living room, only to find Sierra and Linda talking and laughing together. I paused for a moment, closing my eyes and reopening them to make sure I wasn't imagining things.When they both noticed me, Sierra stood up and walked towards me, giving me a warm hug. "Welcome back," she said.I was confused and looked at Sierra, then back at Linda. "Am I in the right castle, or did I stumble into a parallel universe where Sierra and Linda are friends?" I asked, half-joki
