Henry pov.I have been feeling down for days, desperately searching for Sierra, but I haven't the faintest clue of her whereabouts. I even reached out to Nora, hoping for some solace, but Sierra was nowhere to be found. The absence of Sierra weighed heavily on my heart, casting a shadow of sadness upon me.I have tirelessly combed through the vast expanse of the woods, hoping to catch a trace of Sierra's scent lingering in the air. Alas, my efforts were in vain, as her fragrance eluded me entirely. I couldn't help but wonder if Williams shared the same determination in searching for her, or if he even cared at all.Standing in the backyard of Sierra's house, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of longing for her presence. This place, our haven of shared memories, served as a constant reminder of her infectious laughter and unique charm. Not finding her transformed each night into a harrowing nightmare, and every time, I reproached myself for not intervening when she needed me the m
Sierra pov.I looked around, unable to discern my location. It was unfathomable that Alex had chained me up.I had tried everything, even attempting to transform into my wolf form, but something inexplicably hindered me.My strength waned, and I could no longer persist.I tried relentlessly, noticing that the more I exerted myself, the weaker I became.Since Alex left me here, I had exhausted all efforts to break free. However, the chain only inflicted increasing pain upon my hands with each futile attempt.As I sat there, awaiting Alex's return, knowing she would come, I remained motionless, blindfolded. Uncertainty clouded my mind, not knowing what fate awaited me or my unborn child.Suddenly, the sound of a door opening reached my ears, signaling her arrival. I remained silent, feeling the blindfold being removed. Slowly, I adjusted my vision to the light in the room and glanced up at her."Hi, Sierra. Are you having a good time?"I couldn't believe she had the audacity to ask such
Nora pov.Seeing his face once again was the last thing I wished I could never see in this world. I hate seeing him, and the more I stare at his face, the more I feel as if I should have killed him. After all Sierra has done for him, he still has the audacity to hurt her.I walk over to him with anger spread across my face, feeling broken and shattered inside. Hearing that Sierra has gone missing, I feel as if I am about to lose focus on myself. "Why?" I say after walking closer to him. I can see how he stares at me, as if he knows nothing of what I am talking about.Henry was trying to pull me back, but all I do is push his hands away as I stare deadly at him. "Why do you want to stop me?" I say to him after he holds my hands and tries to pull me back. "You know the crimes he has done and how he has hurt Sierra badly. He deserves nothing but insult, and I will make sure he pays for every single thing he has done."As I turn to stare at Williams, I wonder what kind of Alpha he is. I a
Nora pov.I could not contain my anger as it surged within me. All I wanted was to strike her with such force that she would be compelled to reveal Sierra's whereabouts. The intensity of my fury propelled me to deliver a punishing blow, as if I were transforming into a relentless beast, seeking its prey.In the midst of my assault, before I could land another punch, Henry swiftly intervened, pulling me away from her. His actions disrupted my momentum, preventing me from unleashing further violence upon her."After all she has done for you, after everything she has sacrificed, you still betrayed her and took Sierra captive. I assure you, Alex, I will ensure that you face the consequences," I declared, my voice resonating with a mix of disappointment and anger.As I prepared to launch another attack, Henry restrained me once more, his grip firm and unyielding. My eyes, already flickering with an otherworldly shade of yellow, indicated my impending transformation into a fearsome wolf. My
Sierra pov.After staying for countless, interminable days in a place where time seemed to have lost its meaning, I found myself on the verge of losing all sense of self. Overwhelmed by despair, I closed my weary eyes, desperately gasping for a breath of respite, yearning to escape this wretched realm.Remaining here was akin to enduring a torment beyond measure, and I was plagued by uncertainty as to when this torment would cease. Summoning every ounce of strength, I attempted once more to liberate myself, but I stood weakened, teetering on the brink of surrendering my very life.Anxiety gripped me, tormenting me with thoughts of potential harm befalling my precious baby. What if my beloved child were to perish?Tears streamed down my face, and my cries resonated with the fervent hope that someone, anyone, would hear my anguished pleas. The weight of my situation became unbearable, for I could not bear the thought of witnessing the demise of my innocent child.I sat there, surveying
Sierra pov.I slowly opened my eyes, taking in my surroundings, desperately trying to piece together where I was. However, my memory failed me, leaving me in a state of confusion.As I attempted to rise, a gentle hand rested on my shoulder, causing me to turn and meet the gaze of a concerned stranger. His eyes locked with mine, conveying a mix of worry and curiosity."You need to rest," he said softly. "You've been in an accident. It's best for you to remain seated for now."I glanced around, momentarily scanning the unfamiliar environment, before focusing my attention back on the man before me. With a trembling hand, I placed it upon my stomach, and a sudden realization escaped my lips in a hushed whisper, "My baby."Attempting to stand once more, I was swiftly guided back down by the man, his firm grip reassuring. Our eyes met again, and in his gaze, I found a comforting presence."It's alright. The doctor says you're fine. You just need to rest," he reassured me with a gentle yet r
Sierra pov.As I watch how he looks at me, I quickly avert my gaze, unwilling to meet his intense stare. He is an Alpha, and what if he knows about Williams? What will I do then?After he walks out, a sense of relief washes over me, allowing me to finally catch my breath. I survey my surroundings, trying to comprehend the situation. What have I gotten myself into?I wait for a while, seated in contemplation, pondering my next move. Should I run away again? But if I do, where will I go?A shiver runs down my spine, as if a wave of coldness engulfs me, and I feel as though my heart is shattering into countless pieces.With determination, I rise from the bed and cautiously make my way towards the door. I press my ear against it, hoping to catch any sound that may indicate someone's presence.After a while, I notice nothing but silence, and in that moment, I realize that no one is out there.I slowly open the door and peer into the hallway, taking in its vastness. It seems this place has
Alex pov.I couldn't believe that fool would leave her pack just to come here and insult me. I smiled, feeling how foolish she was and how she managed to strike me, making me feel like a fool in front of everyone. She thought that just because she's now a Luna, she can act however she pleases.As I watched her drive away, I couldn't take my eyes off her until she disappeared from sight. Turning to face Williams, who kept gazing in their direction, I walked in front of him with a deadly stare in my eyes."Don't tell me you believe her, right?" I asked, hoping for a reassuring answer.He didn't say anything, walking past me and leaving me standing there speechless. I followed closely behind him as he entered his office. Just as he was about to shut the door, I opened it and walked inside."Now you're keeping me silent," I yelled at him, frustration evident in my voice. He walked over to his chair and sat down, looking up at me without a word."Why do you insist on making my life a livin
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
