Carena:“Payton!” Lady Jane was in shock and rightfully so."Wait! What are you saying?" Sawyer turned to Payton, who sighed and avoided looking at her brother Ronan."I said what I said. It’s up to you now to believe either him or me," Payton replied, her voice thick with pain. Her willingness to expose her brother for my sake was evident."You were going to ruin an innocent girl's life for your own pleasure?" Sawyer suddenly yelled, his frustration visible as he tried to grab Ronan, who had lowered his head and kept it down."I can't believe I felt sympathy for an asshole like you," I intervened to prevent Sawyer from getting physical with Ronan."And you wanted to be an alpha. An alpha doesn’t hurt his people; he defends and protects them," Sawyer shouted, his eyes reddening. It reminded me of the torment he had endured since his father burdened him with the responsibility of killing to prevent a major curse outbreak. Meanwhile, his brother was playing games with his own mate."I'm
Carena:“I’ll go get him some towels,” I quickly informed Payton as I rushed out of the living room. However, I found Sawyer standing in the hallway, as if wondering where everyone had gone until his eyes landed on me.“Carena! What are you doing here?” he asked, approaching me and noticing my shaky body language.“Umm, something is happening to Ronan, and we’re trying to get him help,” I said, watching him stare at me blankly before squinting one eye.“Huh?”“Sawyer, he’s transitioning, but he’s fighting it,” I explained, hesitantly trying to walk past him, but he kept blocking my path.“Good for him. He should suffer so he realizes how difficult it is for she-wolves, and then alphas like him come over and ruin their lives even more.” He stubbornly grabbed my arm, trying to pull me away from the living room.“What Are you doing?” I asked anxiously, trying to run away from him to get Ronan help but Sawyer looked so stern.“Come back to the room. I’ll fetch Payton as well,” he insisted
Carena: I watched Sawyer hunch over his brother, crouching down and glaring at his face with intense aggression.“Tell me now,” he demanded in a deep, heavy voice. I was now curiously watching them.I remembered what he did during full moons, and my heart skipped a beat. I wondered if he spoke to them before ending their lives. I had only ever seen him wield the hammer and look imposing, so I could only guess.“Tell me, what did you plan for Yamin?” My eyes widened at the question. Why was he asking this when Ronan had already been exposed? Could it be that Sawyer discovered his brother had more plans to harm her?Ronan grimaced in pain, then shakily raised his head to meet his brother’s eyes. With great effort, he spoke.“I wanted to have her as my mate.”I frowned, thinking he wasn’t telling the truth. But then he continued.“From the day I felt the mate bond with her, I wanted her. I just… didn’t want to hurt Payton by accepting Yamin like that. So I planned to make her think I wo
Carena:We were in the woods, the safest ones we could find, when Sawyer began to undress. His shirtless body was incredible, and seeing him naked under the cloudy sky made my heart flutter more than ever. He didn’t break eye contact with me even as he removed his pants. I stood before him, watching every move he made.He then started to grimace and groan. I knew his transformation was beginning. As his bones cracked, I heard him yelp but bite his tongue to suppress his cries.“Don’t hold it back,” I insisted, and he nodded, though he immediately dropped to the ground as his transformation took hold.I remembered the night I had first seen him in the basement and lost my baby. I tried to push the memory away, but it kept flashing before me.Before me, he transformed into the largest wolf I had ever seen. His claws were razor-sharp and long, his eyes filled with rage. His canines could pierce through anything. I gulped but stood tall, even as he howled loudly and turned his attention t
Carena:I don't know why I had suggested he ask me questions but now I was regretting my decision. I shouldn't have pressed for such a thing. And this night would have gone by beautifully.Sawyer’s smile had vanished, but he broke the stare between us and unchained me.“Let’s fulfill your wish and transition together,” he said with a dryness in his voice. I wanted to ask him to talk to me first, but my transition was already underway. I couldn’t stop it.Soon, we had both transitioned, and the mood shifted. We ran together, and even though he looked like a fearsome beast, he never harmed me. He was gentle, playing with me on the grass and in the river. His fur would get wet, making him look like a giant teddy bear. I was too happy to let any negative thoughts intrude, even though I knew I’d face burning questions and harsh glares when we got back home.“I’m so tired,” I joked, though none of it had been exhausting. I just wanted him to carry me after we dressed. Morning was almost upo
Carena:"Congratulations," a pack member smiled at Yamin as she bowed in respect. We needed to prepare for their mating ceremony in a week.Ronan had since apologized to me, and we had mended things. Everything was proceeding normally now. I was planning to find someone for the full moon--a criminal whom an Alpha King could punish. I knew it was like taking the law into my own hands, but Sawyer was the law here, and I had taken his into my hands many times."What!" Sawyer questioned when I suddenly burst out laughing at a joke in my head."Nothing," I pressed my lips tightly and shook my head at him. He looked at me suspiciously before sneakily wrapping his arm around my back and then pinching my backside. I jumped, catching everyone's attention."Sorry!" Quickly passing an excuse, I grunted at Sawyer, who looked so proud of himself for causing this trouble.Yamin and Ronan had accepted each other now. He had to leave for his new pack in two days, so we got everything prepared and tie
Carena:"Have a safe journey," I hugged and kissed Yamin on the cheek while Ronan said his farewells to everyone. They were finally off to Carrier Moon Pack. Ronan needed to join immediately and take over, as there were reports of someone attempting to breach the pack’s borders. Given the seriousness of the pack's security, it was quite concerning."I’ll miss you," Yamin said with a bright smile. Ever since she became a Luna, she had been smiling a lot. She mentioned she never thought she would become a Luna, so now she felt blessed and happy that she had waited for the Moon Goddess to give her a perfect mate."You will be missed dearly," I hugged her tightly before stepping away so she could join the others."Ronan," I said his name as he stood before me, both of us sharing awkward smiles."I’ve been harsh when I should have been a supportive brother-in-law. You’ve been nothing but kind to us. And don’t ever think I don’t realize all the mistakes I made that might have caused more tr
Carena:It had been a few days, and we were busy planning everything for the upcoming visit to the Red Raven Pack. I was tasked with handling internal affairs and developing projects that would benefit both of our packs in the long run. I was doing my best to manage everything.However, something was bothering me. I had noticed that Sawyer had been lost in thoughts most of the time. Whenever he was with me, he gave me his full attention, but when I left, I would find him staring at the empty walls in his office or room. It was as if he was talking to the walls but would act like he was calculating something when I caught him in the act.“I’ll go see Ronan and Mom and return when you guys are leaving for the Red Raven Pack,” Payton informed me as we stood in Sawyer’s study, discussing the projects. To help her move past her own issues and focus on her future, I had involved her in work with me.So far, she has been a tremendous help. She was determined to move forward and do whatever i
