Sierra pov.The world around me grew quieter and quieter, until all I could hear was the pounding of my heart. I knew, in that moment, that I had made the biggest mistake of my life. My eyes darted around the castle, taking in the furious expressions of the men who were now advancing towards me.But just as they were about to unleash their anger, William stood up and faced them. "It's okay," he said. "She didn't mean it."Though his words seemed to pacify them somewhat, their scowls did not fade entirely. And then, suddenly, one of the men spoke out. "In the history of all werewolves," he began, "it has never been said for a woman to lay a hand on a man, especially when he's an Alpha."I tried to speak up, to explain myself, but they raised their hands in protest, silencing me. "You were chosen to be his mate," they continued, "but you failed in your duty to provide him with a child. And then, you went so far as to kill the child of Luna Alex. And now, you stand before us, having slap
Sierra pov.For days, I haven't seen Henry, and the fear of what he might be going through grips me. My life has become a never-ending nightmare. Each passing day, I close my eyes and wish the earth could swallow me whole. I feel lost, completely unaware of my surroundings.Like a puppet, I am in the hands of someone I once called a friend. William no longer looks at me, and it's as if my existence doesn't matter to him.I was once the girl who saved a beast and became a luna, but now my story has taken a different turn. I am a slave in the hands of the people I trusted.I yearn to go home, to be in the comforting arms of my mother and cry my eyes out, but I'm forbidden from leaving.My mother can't visit me in the castle anymore, and Nora, my fellow luna, is not allowed to make any decisions as she's not part of the lycan community.Every night, I wander out into the garden, searching for any sign of Henry. My heart aches with sadness as I look around, knowing he's not there.I gaze
Sierra pov.As I caught sight of William standing there, my heart raced with fear. I hastily moved away, my eyes downcast, hoping to avoid any confrontation.Gradually, I lifted my gaze and saw that William had fixed his eyes on Henry. William strode over to Henry, who stood motionless, unflinching in the face of danger."What are you doing here?" William bellowed at Henry, his voice as cold and fierce as a beast's.I wanted to intervene and explain that what he saw was a mistake, but before I could speak, Henry spoke up."Why do you look so angry, William?" he said, completely unfazed by the looming threat.William glanced at me, and I instinctively recoiled, hiding behind Henry's back, unsure if he would protect me.I could sense William's rage, his eyes fixed on me, and I felt like I was about to wet myself."I showed you mercy by letting you go, and you still have the audacity to come here and flirt with my mate," he snarled.I looked up at William, my heart aching with sadness. D
Sierra pov.He didn't care to check on me; he didn't even bother to know how I was feeling. He just left me there. The sight of his retreating figure made my heart sink, and the smell of his aftershave lingered in the air, taunting me with memories of happier times. The silence was deafening, broken only by the sound of my own sobs.Most of the time during the daytime, I sat close to the small window, as I lay my head down, trying to forget the pain that was boiling inside of me. The bright sunlight filtered through the dusty panes, casting a warm glow on my tear-stained cheeks. I could smell the scent of fresh flowers from the garden, a stark contrast to the musty air of the small room.I felt lost, as if my heart was about to turn into a stone. The weight of my despair was suffocating, and my body felt heavy as if I was carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. I longed for the touch of a comforting hand, but I knew that I was alone.The maids always brought food for me, and
Sierra pov.After two long hours of working, I felt as though my life had been drained out of me. My stomach grumbled loudly, and I knew that I needed to find something to eat soon.Exhausted, I sat on the floor, surveying the room. Despite having made progress, I still had a long way to go. The weight of my fatigue was bearing down on me, and if I didn't eat soon, I felt like I would collapse.I lay down on the ground, my body coated in grime and dust. As I looked up at the ceiling, the world seemed to be spinning around me. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself.The sound of my growling stomach filled the silent room, and the pain in my gut intensified. I knew I had to find something to eat soon, or I wouldn't be able to continue my work.I stood up, unable to sit any longer. As I thought about my next move, I felt a wave of dizziness wash over me. I knew that I had to eat something before I could continue.I opened the door slowly and looked out into the empty hallway. Hopi
Sierra pov.I look up and meet William's eyes, wondering if he was addressing me or someone else. I divert my attention back to the food on the floor and begin to eat. Whether or not he was observing me didn't matter to me.Suddenly, I feel myself being lifted off the ground, and as I put the last morsel of food in my mouth, I quickly cover it with my hand and look up at him."What the heck are you doing?" he demands, but I remain silent, gazing at him. "Why would you eat from the floor?" he yells, yet I say nothing.He releases me, and I stand there, attempting to calm my irritation at him for ruining my meal."Why?" he asks, and I look at him, trying to discern his meaning. "Why do you have to be this way, mate?"I approach him cautiously, my eyes fixed on him. Was he actually calling me mate? I raise my hand as if to touch him but quickly withdraw it and walk away."You need to leave. I have a lot of work to do."Just as I reach for the broom, he turns me around, and I fall onto hi
Sierra pov.As I sit here, the weight of my torment seems to grow longer and longer, stretching out before me like an endless horizon. Alex's cruel and demeaning treatment has made my life a never-ending nightmare, one that I can no longer bear. The mere thought of her forcing me to eat food from the floor sends shivers down my spine, making my stomach turn.As I stare off into space, I can't help but see myself as a helpless dog instead of the fierce wolf I know I am. It's a strange sensation, feeling so powerless and out of control. I've managed to keep my anger in check, to hold back the urge to shift and tear her apart, but it's getting harder and harder each day.In my room, I'm alone with my thoughts, lost in a sea of despair. I wonder what the future holds for me, if I'll ever find a way out of this never-ending nightmare. Sometimes, I feel like giving up, like surrendering myself to whatever fate has in store for me.The words of William, echo in my mind like a symphony of hop
Sierra pov.As I slowly opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the cold and hard street, surrounded by the bustling crowd of people walking past me. Their curious and judgmental gazes made me feel vulnerable and exposed. I rubbed my tired eyes and tried to recall what had happened to me.Suddenly, a rush of memories flooded my mind, and my eyes widened in shock and realization. I sprang up from the ground, scanning my surroundings frantically. The sound of my racing heart was almost deafening, and I couldn't understand how I had ended up on the street. My mind raced with questions, and I feared that I had been kidnapped.With a sense of urgency, I started running back to the castle, my heart pounding in my chest. As I ran, I noticed the distinct smell of the street - a mixture of gasoline, food, and sweat. I could feel the rough texture of the pavement beneath my bare feet, which were sore from the journey.When I finally arrived at the castle, I saw Williams and Alex outside, and th
