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.As I lay down, the sound of William and Henry's voices drifted through the air. I listened intently to their conversation, but I hesitated to open my eyes just yet. I wanted to stay cocooned in my own thoughts a little while longer.After a few moments, the room fell silent, and I heard the faint click of the door locking. Slowly, I rose to my feet, feeling a bit better than I had before.As I approached the door, I noticed that it was slightly ajar - Henry hadn't locked it properly. I slipped out into the hallway, trying to be as quiet as possible. I decided that it was safest to head to the library and stay there for a while.Suddenly, a loud voice shattered the quiet, coming from the direction of the kitchen. I recognized it immediately as Alex's, and wondered why she was always so cruel.Cautiously, I peeked into the kitchen and saw Alex holding a dirty plate, with food remnants still clinging to it. She approached Henry and handed him the plate. Then, without warning,
Sierra pov.I still can't believe that I kissed Henry. What was I thinking?I started packing a few clothes into my bag. I was feeling better now, and I thought it would be best if I just went to Nora's place.The smell of musty air in this castle was becoming unbearable, and I couldn't stand to see it happen.I ran around my room, searching for what I could wear in a week after I arrived at Nora's place. I knew Henry would be alone, but I just needed a place to cool off a bit. Seeing William all the time made me regret ever being here in the first place.After I was done packing, I let out a heavy breath and tried to think, looking around to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything else.I picked up my bag and opened the door to walk out, only to see Henry standing in the doorway."Do you have to go?" he asked, and I could see the sadness in his eyes. I smiled and moved a bit closer to him, staring into his eyes before speaking."I'm only staying at Nora's for a week, Henry. It's not l
Sierra pov.I watch as everyone in the castle runs out to see what's going on. I look at William with anger in my eyes as I stand and approach him."What's your problem?" I yell at his face, frustrated with the situation that just happened.I can see regret in his eyes, but he should have kept his anger to himself.I notice how the maids murmur among themselves, some even laughing. Alex probably deserves this, but it could have waited until after she gave birth.I walk away from William and rush to pick up Alex, who is on the ground, crying and holding her stomach.I lift her up and see blood stains on the ground. I look up at William with fear in my eyes, then back down at Alex who is still in tears.As William starts to walk closer to us, I yell at him to stop right there."Please, Sierra, let me take her to the hospital," he pleads.I don't listen to him as I look around, and my eyes spot Henry."Henry!" I yell his name, but he just stands there, staring."Henry, help!" This time I
Sierra pov.The news was devastating, Alex had lost her child. The weight of it all felt like it was crushing me into tiny pieces. I felt scared and confused, unsure of what to think or feel.The doctor left the and Nora and Henry came closer to me. Everything felt like it was turning upside down and I was on the verge of breaking apart any second.I felt Nora's hand on my shoulder and looked up to see her concerned expression. Tears were streaming down my face, and I knew deep down that everything was my fault."Why are you crying?" Nora asked, her voice almost a yell. "You should be happy that she deserves what she got. Instead of celebrating, you're busy crying. Come on, Sierra, most times you need to stop blaming yourself for everything."Her words hit me like a slap in the face. Was she trying to tell me that none of this was my fault? I stood up, feeling numb as I walked out of the hospital. Just as I was about to open the car door, it shut back and I looked up to see Henry."Wh
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.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
