Sierra pov.Alex's attitude had changed drastically over the past three days. She mostly kept to herself and barely spoke to Nora and me. Sometimes she would show up at the castle whenever she pleased. I couldn't help but feel disturbed by all that was going on. I tried to talk to Williams about it, but he simply told me to stay calm and relax.As I sat on my bed in my room, I gazed out the window, feeling worried. I noticed the trees swaying in the wind and the sun setting on the horizon. I couldn't understand why Alex was acting this way, especially since we had just discussed Nora going to the Shadowclaws pack for the Alpha son ball. Was she upset that Nora might find her mate before her?Anger boiled within me as I thought about the way Alex was treating me. She didn't show me any respect, not even as a Luna or a friend. I stood up, still in confusion, and began pacing around my room. But then I had a thought: maybe Alex and Henry were destined to be mates since they seemed to be
Sierra pov.I calm down a bit, trying to catch my breath as I listen to what he just said. Was Alex really coming to the castle to see Williams?I stood up with force, walked out on Herny, even when he called my name. I didn't care to look back as I ran away. I walked back into my room, locked the door, and walked over to my bed. I sat down and took a deep breath, trying to collect my thoughts. I still couldn't believe that my best friend was actually meeting with my husband behind my back. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks, and I felt a wave of worry wash over me.Sitting on the bed, I put my hands on my chin as I tried to push away those feelings. But they were stubborn, and they lingered, refusing to be ignored.After a while, I could no longer sit still, and I stood up, heading straight to Will's office. Without knocking, I opened the door and saw him looking down at a paper. As he looked up at me, I could see the surprise and confusion in his eyes.He stood up and walk
Sierra pov.After hearing the news, I just could not hold myself any longer. As I sat on the floor, I looked up at Alex, then at William, trying to make sense of what I had just heard. The room was quiet except for the sound of Alex's laughter as she looked at both of us. I took a deep breath and tried to steady myself before asking myself, "Was William sleeping with my friend behind my back?" Alex replied, "What are you surprised? Let me make it all clear. The day you went to school with Nora, and I decided to stay put here in the castle, I walked over to your dear husband, who will now be mine, and we decided to drink a little before our discussion. I noticed he was drunk, so I tried to help him to his room. But all he did was rape me. I tried telling you, but I just didn't want to hurt you," she said, still smiling.My heart felt heavy as I looked at William, who wanted to say something, but I slapped him hard across the face. Tears streamed down my face as I felt my heart breaki
Sierra pov. I could no longer hold back the tears that were streaming down my face, and my heart was beating so fast that I thought it might burst out of my chest. The reality of what had happened was just too much to bear. For hours, Willams had been knocking on my door, begging me to let him in. I couldn't bear to look at his face or even be in the same room as him. I lay down on the bed, pulling the pillow closer and hugging it tight as if it were the only comfort I could find. As I waited for Nora to arrive, I thought about what Alex had done and the pain was unbearable. Finally, a knock on the door made me look up, and I heard Nora's voice calling my name. "Hey Sierra, it's me. Open up." I quickly stood up, wiping my eyes as I opened the door and saw Nora standing there. I ran over to her, crying on her shoulder as she took me inside and shut the door behind us. She led me back to my bed, where I sat down and wiped the tears from my eyes. "What happened, Sierra?" she asked,
Sierra pov.One Month later.."It's been a month already and I have been hiding away from William. Seeing him once again, I just don't have that feeling anymore," I thought to myself as I looked around the kitchen. The room was dimly lit with the only source of light coming from the small window above the sink. The air was filled with the smell of freshly cut lemons, which had been left out on the counter.I walked over to the refrigerator and opened it, grabbing a juice. As I walked over to the cupboard. I picked up a glass from the cupboard and sat down at the kitchen table. The chair was old and creaked as I sat down.I poured the juice into the glass, trying to forget all the pain that had been on my head for a month now. I closed my eyes and tried to think of something better, hoping to find peace.Suddenly, the sound of the kitchen door opening caught my attention. I opened my eyes to see Alex walking in. I looked away, not wanting to make eye contact with her, and closed my eye
Sierra pov.I stood up abruptly, taken aback by the anger etched on Nora's face. I knew she was livid, just by seeing me in that position. But I had to act fast before she lost control completely."Nora, you are here?" I say, hoping for a response that would make her forget what had happened.She walked past me, moving closer to Alex who was still seated, her phone in hand, looking up at her. Nora turned to face Williams who still appeared at a loss for words.I could see her claws extending from her hands, and if I didn't intervene, she might end up doing something reckless."Nora, why don't we go somewhere else and discuss your well-being," I suggested.Just as I was about to take her away, Alex stood up with an annoyed expression, pulling me back."Where the hell do you think you're going?" she yelled at me. "Can't you see I'm pregnant? Do you expect me to bend down and do it myself?"At that moment, I wanted to hit her so hard, but because of her pregnancy, I forced a smile and re
Sierra povAs he sat close to me, I noticed how he kept getting closer. I turned to look at him and asked, "Are you okay?" He nodded and smiled at me, and I smiled back, taking in the sight of the beautiful flowers in the garden. The colors were so vibrant, and the scent was so sweet, it was hard not to feel happy here.Just as I was about to drift off into my own thoughts, Henry spoke, bringing me back to reality. "What will you do now that the right have been taken away from you?" he asked, and I turned to look at him, unsure of how to answer his question.What would I even do now that I'm no longer a Luna? I can't continue to live this way. I thought it was a good decision to accept Nora's invitation to stay with the Shadowclaws pack and maybe relax a bit. I looked at Henry, who was waiting for my response, and then I smiled and said, "Well, Nora has asked me to come over, so I guess in two days' time, I'll be leaving and heading to the Shadowclaws pack to maybe have a peaceful tim
Henry pov.As I entered the room, my eyes fell upon her form, lying there on the bed, her face twisted in pain. The sight of her suffering made me feel a surge of anger. I knew the reason for her illness - she hadn't had the chance to mate with William. The scent of sickness hung in the air, mingling with the smell of disinfectant and stale sheets.My mind raced as I thought of how I could make William pay for hurting her. I felt like I was on fire with fury.From the moment I first saw her in the castle, I was captivated. It was as if the world had come to a halt, and all I wanted was to be with her. But now, seeing her like this, my heart ached with sadness.Despite everything, I felt a glimmer of hope when I heard that she was going to set us free. And she did, just as she promised. But then came the news that William had gotten her friend pregnant, and I was at a loss for words.Every day, I saw her cry, and every day, my anger towards the Luna, who was supposed to be Sierra frien
Sierra pov.It had been three months since I lost my child, and I was still residing in Dean Castle. I felt scared because Linda, without fail, always made sure my life became a living hell.I had tried everything to be kind to her, but she incessantly blamed me for joining the Ghost Pack and stealing Dean away from her, which was far from the truth.Most of the time, I hid in my room, afraid to come out, as if this were just another nightmare to endure.As I sat on my bed, contemplating my next move, a knock on the door startled me. I gazed at it with trepidation as it slowly opened, revealing Linda's presence.I wondered why she had come or if she had come to turn my life into a living nightmare.I observed as she approached me with a smile and sat down beside me. It was the first time she smiled at me, and I couldn't discern if it was a jest or if she had genuinely decided to be pleasant."Are you okay?" I inquired, as she continued to gaze at me, her smile still intact.I remained
Alex pov.After we both started walking, I couldn't help but hold onto William's arm tightly, and soon we arrived at the castle."Why did you leave without telling me?" I heard him say, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and concern, as I turned to look at him."Well, I thought you needed some time alone," I replied, trying to explain my actions.Upon hearing my response, he gently turned me around, his strong grip enveloping my hands, and locked his gaze with mine."You're going to be my Luna soon, so why don't you start acting like one?" he said, his tone both gentle and commanding.I pulled my hands away from his, feeling a surge of frustration rise within me, as I continued to stare at him intently."Well, you never stop thinking about her, so how am I supposed to feel comfortable telling you that I want to take a walk outside the castle?" I shouted, my voice echoing through the empty halls. Realizing the intensity of my outburst, I took a deep breath and glanced up at Willi
Alex pov.For days now, I haven't laid eyes on Sierra (which was actually a good thing). I glide through my castle with a sense of pride, knowing that soon all of this will be mine.The past few days have left me astounded. William hasn't driven me away or uttered a single complaint about Sierra. The thought of her has not crossed his lips.I close my eyes, and a cool breeze gently passes through me, bestowing upon me a profound sense of calm and relaxation.If Sierra hasn't returned yet, does it mean she might have gone with Henry?Confusion engulfs me, and I struggle to discern my thoughts. It feels as if my mind is teetering on the edge of insanity. What if Sierra has informed him that I abducted her? Will all my plans crumble to dust?Placing my hands on my head, I attempt to ease my troubled mind and temporarily forget about Sierra."I believe it is time for a walk downtown," I whisper with a smile, embarking on a journey beyond the castle walls.The way the people show their res
Sierra pov.Hearing those words, I couldn't help but lose focus on myself, as if the world had already forgotten about me. The weight of Dean's gaze filled me with guilt, and I felt as if my life had become an utter mess."I'm sorry," Dean kept saying, his eyes filled with pity and hurt."Why me?" I whispered, feeling weak and bewildered, no longer knowing what was happening around me.Dean moved closer, pulling me gently until my head rested on his shoulder. Tears flowed uncontrollably from my eyes, and I felt utterly shattered, as if the world had turned its back on me."Why do I have to face such bad luck? Why does it have to be me? What has my child done to deserve being taken away from me? Why?" My words barely escaped my lips, choked with pain.I couldn't help but feel broken inside, and Dean held me tightly. Regret washed over me, realizing that coming here had been a mistake. What would happen when Henry and Williams found out that my child was gone?What would Williams do if
Sierra pov.I quickly pulled away after hearing that shout—it was Linda's voice, and I think she caught us.I was so caught off guard that I didn't know what I had just done. I ran away and headed to the bathroom, quickly locking the door behind me.What is going on with me? Why am I making such mistakes? I felt helpless, so I cried, not knowing what to do.I think it's best if I just leave this place; otherwise, everything will only get worse by the second.I was so scared of myself; I hated what I had just done every second.I stayed there, and Dean kept calling my name, asking me to open the door, but I just sat there, not even getting up.This was worse than what I faced in the Lycan pack. Isn't it better if I just stayed there and became a slave for everyone to use?"Sierra, open up," Dean's voice pleaded, but I remained silent."Please, just open it. I'm sorry."Hearing him say that, I felt like hitting him. Did he just say he was sorry? He said the opposite a minute ago, and al
Sierra pov.I pushed him away forcefully, my instinct taking control, and without a second thought, I slapped him. Fear washed over me immediately, consuming my senses, as I grappled with the reality of what I had just done."Sorry," I whispered softly, my voice barely audible, as I turned on my heels and fled towards the solace of my room.Upon reaching the refuge of my chamber, I closed the door behind me with a heavy heart, leaning against it for support. Confusion swirled within me, for he didn't even know me, yet professed his love.I covered my face with trembling hands, resting my head on my knees, desperately trying to make sense of the chaos that had entered my life. Why had the Goddess chosen to subject me to this living nightmare?The weight of the world seemed to descend upon me, as if doomsday itself loomed on the horizon, ready to crash down upon me without mercy. I couldn't shake the feeling that my life had become a tangled mess, and the timing couldn't have been worse
Sierra pov.As I witnessed her utter those words, it felt as though a sharp knife had been mercilessly thrust into my being. Overwhelmed by the pain, I instinctively clutched my stomach, squeezing my eyes shut in an attempt to regain composure and catch my breath.Should I distance myself from this pack as well? Merely contemplating the things she said fills me with an overwhelming sense of fear.Tears began streaming down my face, my heart shattered into countless pieces, leaving me utterly lost and clueless about what to do next. If only Henry were here, he could find a way to bring a smile to my face.I shifted my gaze towards the ceiling, fixating on it for several minutes, and gradually, the agony started to dissipate, leaving behind a faint glimmer of happiness.Fatigue started to wash over me, and the desire to slumber indefinitely, never to awaken, crept into my consciousness. However, just as I was about to surrender to sleep's embrace, an abrupt knock disrupted my tranquilit
Sierra pov.I could not help but pull away after hearing voice behind us. I turned, only to see Linda standing there, looking at us.She walked over to where Dean and I were, and I could see the anger in her eyes as she looked directly at me.I wanted to walk away, wanted to run and hide, but I just stood frozen in place."What are you doing here, Linda?" Dean asked her, as I watched him turn and stare at her.Linda was so angry that she didn't even look at Dean, but focused solely on me."Is she really someone you want to help, or are you having an affair with her?"I looked up at her, trying to let her know it was a mistake. I hated coming here; I could have just stayed in that old house in the woods and let Alex kill me instead.I watched as Dean dragged her and pulled her closer with force. I could see how he held her tightly, and she yelled in pain."She is a friend, Linda, and you are my Luna. I was only trying to help her; she needs help. Can't you see the condition she's in?"
Sierra pov.I stood frozen in place, unable to move, as I caught sight of her seated there, her eyes fixed on me. What did she want? Was something wrong?She gracefully rose from the bed and made her way toward me, her every movement captivating my attention."I can see that my Alpha is quite intrigued by you. By the way, what are your plans for coming here?" she inquired, her voice carrying a hint of menace, as though she could annihilate me with just a glance.Feeling overwhelmed, I averted my gaze, unsure of how to respond. Why was she asking such a question?At a loss for words, I remained silent, incapable of formulating a suitable answer. I had no plans for coming here; all I yearned for was freedom and a chance to live a different life.Looking back up at her, I could sense her impatience, the disapproval evident in her demeanor. It seemed clear that she harbored no fondness for me."Sorry, Luna, but I have no plans," I stammered, a tinge of fear betraying my eyes.She stood th
