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.

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.

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.

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

I thought about how William had pushed me away, telling me to leave and never return.

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.

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.

I pulled him away from Henry and landed a heavy slap across his face. He looked at me in shock, but I wasn't scared. I was tired of everything he had done to me, and I just couldn't take it anymore."Why do you keep following me?" I yelled into his face as I pushed him back. "Haven't you had enough? What more do you want from me? You have a wife now, why can't you just go to her and leave me alone?" The sound of his fists hitting Henry's face echoed off the walls, and I could feel the vibrations in my chest.
