Sierra pov.As his lips delicately brushed against mine, I instinctively pulled away, my gaze locked into his piercing eyes. "I'm so sorry, Henry, but I just can't do this right now," I whispered, my voice heavy with remorse.Turning abruptly, I hurried back to where Nora stood, my heart burdened by the weight of my actions. Henry emerged from the woods after some time, slowly approaching the spot where Nora and I stood. Avoiding his gaze, I averted my eyes, overwhelmed by shame, feeling responsible for the chaos unfolding in my life."So, Sierra, would you consider moving in with me? It might be best if you come stay with me in the Shadowclaws pack. I promise to protect you, and perhaps you can start afresh there," Nora's words echoed in my ears, rendering me speechless. I lowered my gaze, my sadness evident, grappling with the uncertainty of making the right choice.Raising my eyes, I found myself meeting the expectant stares of Henry and Nora, their silent anticipation urging me to
Sierra pov.Three days had passed after I had dug the ground and buried my mother inside.I still could not believe that my mother was gone, and I could no longer see her.I sat in my mother's favorite chair, not moving an inch. I had been sitting there, crying, refusing to stand up. All I wanted was to know who did this to my mother.I remembered how the village had yelled, calling me a witch. I could feel the accusations, blaming me for my mother's death. And even now, the pain still consumed me from within.I looked down at the ground, feeling my heart pounding rapidly. This wasn't what I wanted. This wasn't the dream I had envisioned.I remained in that position for an hour until I heard the sound of a door opening and footsteps approaching. I thought it was Henry, so I yelled, "Go away!"I didn't hear him say anything, but then I heard another familiar voice."Sierra."I slowly looked up, and my eyes met Williams'. I wanted to stand up and walk away, but I couldn't. I just felt w
Sierra pov.As I slowly pulled away from Henry, I took a moment to observe his face, and then shifted my gaze down to William, who stared back at me in shock, clearly taken aback by my recent actions."From now on, I choose Henry as my mate. It's time for you to leave," I uttered, my voice filled with determination.After uttering those words, I turned to walk away, but William caught hold of my hands, standing up to face me."You can't be serious," he said, his voice quivering with the threat of tears.I gently pulled my hands away from his grasp, distancing myself from him as I turned to face him squarely."I'm not joking, William. I'm serious. I don't want you in my life anymore. I've made a colossal mistake, and now I want to make things right. I'm sorry, William, but I can't continue living this way. Please, just go away," I pleaded, tears streaming down my face, unsure if I was making the right choice."Sierra, please," William implored, but Henry stepped in, blocking his path.
Sierra pov.I woke up the next day feeling kind of weak. I stood up and looked around, but could not see Henry.I stood up, wondering where he could have been. As I got out of bed, I walked out the door and down the stairs, only to see how neat the place was.I felt amazing, and that was when I saw Henry in the kitchen."Morning, Sierra," he said, and I walked over to the kitchen with a smile on my face."Morning, Henry. If you don't mind me asking, but what are you doing?" I inquired.He chuckled and looked at me as if I had asked a question I wasn't supposed to ask."Do not tell me you haven't seen a guy cook before."I laughed when I heard him say that and sat down in the kitchen, watching him cook. I couldn't help but smile.After about 39 minutes, he was done and he brought the food close to me, placing it in front of me as he sat down."So, why don't we eat and get ready for today?" he suggested.I smiled and nodded as I lifted up the spoon and started digging into the food as f
Sierra pov.We both stood there, looking at each other, as I didn't know what else to say. She really didn't want to see my face, right? Then, I guess I will have to make it possible.I walked closer to her, the gap between us diminishing, and then I grabbed her by the shirt, pulling her forward."I have been trying all day to calm myself down and forget about the death of my mother. I will not let anyone who isn't welcome come spoil this day for me. So, if you truly don't want to see my face, Alex, you can get out now, or I will push you myself."She grabbed my hands, and I looked at her. She smiled, then leaned closer, her lips near my ear."This isn't over."She pushed me backward, turning to walk away, but she stopped for a moment and smiled, turning to face me."I will always make sure to bring only pain to you, Sierra." And with that, she walked away.I placed my hands on my chest, releasing the heavy breath that I had been holding within me for quite some time now.Just as I wa
Henry pov.After Alex left, I was extremely angry. However, I decided not to show it, even though just seeing the way she spoke to Sierra was getting on my nerves.I kept my anger bottled up inside, determined not to let it out and do something unexpected.Sierra and I entered the house together, and I quickly came up with a lie about needing to fetch some items.I knew that if she found out I was going to the castle, she wouldn't allow me.I stepped out of the house, my anger still simmering within me as I made my way towards the castle.When I arrived, I took a moment to observe it. I knew I had been banned from entering the castle, but I couldn't let them keep coming to Sierra and making her sad.As I opened the gate and walked into the castle, I noticed all the maids stopping what they were all doing and staring at me. I marched forward with a scowl on my face. Just as I was about to reach for the castle door handle, it swung open, and William walked out.I could see the hatred, a
Williams pov.I don't know if I did the right thing or not, but I know, after all this time, I haven't been able to sleep. After locking Henry up, I felt sad, but I have to do the work of an Alpha.I walk out of the castle, as I decide to go visit Sierra. Maybe I can tell her how truly sorry I am and ask for forgiveness. As I walk, people bow to me, but I'm not in the mood for that. At that point, I just felt like seeing Sierra.Upon arrival at her house, I stood there, taking in the sight of the house one more time and seeing how old it has become. It's so painful when she lost her mother, but how can I tell her how sorry I am?I lift my hand and knock on the door, waiting for it to be opened. I know, as an Alpha, I can enter places I want without even being questioned, but I don't want to be like my father. I want to be different from him.After a while of standing, I decided to knock again. The door opened, and I saw her standing there, looking at me. I could see how her face sudde
Sierra pov.I broke down in tears after he left, and I just could not stop myself from crying. Why do I feel so hurt seeing him once again?I tried to wipe away the tears, but the more I did, the more tears kept running down my eyes.I closed my eyes one more time, feeling like I was giving up hope and starting all over. But whenever I think of him, I just feel like sinking back into his hands.I stood up from the floor, slowly walking over to the couch, and sat down. Was that the reason he came? because he wants me back?I placed my hands over my head once again, feeling pain. For the past months, I've been feeling kind of weak, and I haven't even gone to see the pack doctor about it.I closed my eyes, trying to relax and calm down a little bit. I took a deep breath, but just as I did that, I felt a bit of pain in my belly.I have never felt a pain like that, apart from the headaches and weakness, and a little pain I have been feeling lately. But today, it felt as if my stomach was o
