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
Sierra pov.As William asked me to leave, I couldn't help but feel a whirlwind of emotions stirring inside of me. I stood up slowly, my eyes unable to meet his as I turned around and began walking back to where I had just come from. Tears streamed down my face as I tried to comprehend why William had never believed me.My chest ached as I clutched it tightly with my hands, trying to ease the pain that threatened to overcome me. I had hoped he would call out to me, tell me to stop, but he remained silent, watching as I walked away.Leaving the castle, I looked around at the maids who had once been my allies. Now, they stared at me with judgmental eyes, their disdain palpable. I felt like an outcast, unworthy of their respect.The cold air outside only served to amplify the chill that had settled in my bones, and I huddled my arms around my body, searching for warmth that I knew wouldn't come. I wondered if I should go home, but the thought of facing the rumors and gossip that would sur
Sierra pov.It had been two long and agonizing days since William had left, and as I sat in my room, I couldn't help but feel abandoned by the one I had loved so deeply. Up until now, he hadn't even bothered to check on me.But, my mother had been treating me with utmost kindness, and her presence made me feel less alone. I sat by the window, watching as people strolled by, taking in the sights and smells of the world outside.For a moment, I felt like I was detached from the world, lost in thought. I thought about how William had pushed me away, telling me to leave and never return. The memory of those words brought a sharp pain to my heart, and I couldn't help but feel regretful for leaving him.My friend, Nora, had been visiting me daily and doing everything in her power to make me smile. But, for some reason, I still felt lost and lonely.As I sat by the window, lost in my thoughts, I didn't even realize when my mother had walked into my room. However, I felt her comforting presen
Sierra pov."Henry," I exclaimed, feeling as if I was about to pee on myself with excitement. He smiled warmly at me, and without a second thought, I rushed towards him, throwing my arms around him in a tight embrace. Overcome with emotion, I felt tears pricking at the corners of my eyes, and my heart swelled with joy.As we pulled away from the hug, I gazed at Henry in disbelief, unable to contain my happiness at seeing him again. I had assumed he had left for another pack, but now I knew that I had a friend I could confide in and talk to."How?" I asked breathlessly, and Henry simply smiled, placing his hands gently on my shoulders."Sierra, you don't think I would leave without seeing my friend or saying goodbye, do you?" he said with a chuckle.My heart leaped with gratitude as I realized that Henry was still the same funny and caring friend I remembered. As we walked together, I noticed that people were staring at us, but Henry lifted my chin gently and encouraged me to hold my h
Sierra pov.As we both sat down, staring into each other's eyes, the door suddenly opened, and my mother walked in. I quickly stood up and walked over to her."Mom, you're back?" I said, and she smiled and replied, "Yes, dear, I am."As she walked closer, she caught sight of Henry, who was standing there looking at her."And who might you be?" She asked him, her eyes full of curiosity. He smiled and looked at me, then back at my mother. Just as he was about to speak, I cut in, "He's a friend, Mom, and he was about to leave."Henry looked at me, but I quickly looked away. My mom smiled and walked over to Henry, pulling him into a warm hug. "Thanks for being a friend to my daughter," she said as she pulled away from the embrace.I didn't know what to say, but I felt a sense of sadness wash over me as I looked into Henry's eyes. I couldn't explain why, but it felt like I was about to lose him forever.After my mother welcomed Henry warmly, I was waiting for him to leave. But just as he w
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
