SIERRA I wake up to the sound of someone knocking on the door of my room. I try to sit up but quickly stop when I realise that I am naked. How am I naked? I look around quickly to see that I am in an unfamiliar room and it is a very small one with space only for a single bed and a chair. I quickly recall how I ended up lost in the woods and how those two rogues caught me. As the rogues come near me, I do not know how to escape. It is like my brain has stopped working. I just hope that I do not shift back into my human form due to my state of panicking. I look at them in fear knowing that they are going to hurt me. One rogue with sandy brown hair comes closer to me and crouches a little to reach near my neck. He moves his hand over my fur and his touch gives me nausea. "Won't you shift back for me princess?" he says and I try to move out of his grasp. He quickly grasps the scruff of my neck and applies pressure to effectively stop any movement of mine. From the corner of my eye I
SIERRAI never have prayed for anybody's death but I wish for my abusers' death. They have caused me a trauma even if they didn't rape me.I just sit there, unable to make any movement, scared that the man will return again. I do not know what they want from me apart from the obvious and it terrifies me as hell.I sense someone coming towards me and I curl up tighter with the sheet around me. A man slightly leaner than the earlier one crouches in front of me and forcefully pushes my chin upwards so that I look up at him. I automatically shrink away from his touch but he keeps his hold on me firm making it difficult for me to move much."See girl. We need some information about the training school and its inside maps. You getting caught has made our work simple as we didn't have to go and kidnap someone. So, be a good girl and answer all the questions and I might leave you, okay?" he asks and I wonder why he needs that information. I just nod my head a little but don't say anything."G
FENRIS"Why the hell have you trapped me in here? I should be out there searching for my mate." I shout at elder Amaruq who is silently watching me. The dose of wolfsbane injected in me has started to wore off. I don't know how much time has passed since my mate went missing."Your rage is going to kill us all, Fenris. One she-wolf's life is nothing compared to the lives of all the students and this building. I do not want you to go and bring the wrath of those rogues on this school and its students. You need to promise me that you would not go to search Sierra only then I will allow you to go," says Amaruq and I feel my anger towards this man turning into hate."I have every right to search for my mate. Why are so negligent towards her?" I growl out."Fenris, you do not know the rogues and their power. They indulge in black magic that is the reason why they can hide their scent. I do not want my reputation as an Elder to be destroyed because of one girl's silliness," the elder says n
SIERRAI feel like my body is on fire. The burning sensations are too much and I am forced to open my eyes. The first thing I see is hard flesh which is moving. I look around and see that I am somewhere around the school building. That means I am safe!Wait! Hard flesh which is moving? I turn my head upwards to see Fenris's face. That means this is actually his chest on which I am currently resting my head. Oh goddess! I just hope he isn't angry on me.The burning sensation I am feeling on my cheek are actually sparks similar to the ones I felt the first time I met him. My movement makes Fenris to dip his head towards me and what I see makes me cringe.His eyes are pitch black like the nights on a new moon. His face is blank and his jaw is all clenched giving an even harder edge to his face. I want to touch his jaw to try and loosen up the tension but refrain from doing so. After all, I rejected him. What a stupid female am I? To top it off, I went and got myself kidnapped which migh
SIERRAWe sit there on the hospital bed snuggled together for what felt like hours. I am still in his arms and now the intensity of the currents is way more than the first time. Suddenly, I realise that I am naked beneath his shirt and whatever this need is to be close to him becomes overwhelming. I quickly move away from his embrace and settle back on the cushions of the hospital bed.I do not have the courage to look into his eyes and see his expression. I do not know what I will see in his eyes. I do not want to see those black predatory orbs. I want to see those blue eyes clear like the ocean which always tries to pull me into their depths to seek the secrets lying within. Those blue eyes are a lot more welcoming than the black eyes. I wonder why this colour change is happening. I haven't ever heard of a wolf with changing eye colours."Uh ... Th ... Thank you for comforting me," I say, looking up at him. As soon as he hears my words, his face morphs into one of sadness. I again
FENRISFuck!I do not want to deal with Amaruq and his mess. He is a traitor and has accepted his betrayal. I hope the elders do not question me because I didn't handle the situation properly. Afterall, I got all the answers when I backhanded him. I do not want this additional trouble on my head when I am already dealing with a ton of shit.Trying to calm myself, I knock on the private chambers of Elder Alarick. The door is opened by Elder Ernouf with a poker face but his head is slightly cast downwards. He just opens the door widely gesturing me to enter and then follows me after closing and locking the door.What the hell?All the elders except Amaruq are present here and they all stand in front of me with their heads slightly cast downwards. The action pleases my wolf but puzzles the human part of me. I am an apprentice here. Why in the hell are they bowing to me as if I am some kind of a celebrity."Please, elders. You all are embarrassing me with your bowing. What is the matter
FENRISI blink open my eyes. This room is unfamiliar and I instantly become alert. I look around to scan my surroundings and see that I am still in Elder Alarick's private chambers on a couch beside his desk in the corner of the room. I sit up and take deep breaths to stop the headache but my eyes start burning now."Oh, I see you're awake. Here, drink this and it will help with the headache," says Elder Raoul as he hands me a cup of steaming liquid. I take a whiff of it before drinking."Is it ginger tea? Thanks." I say when the elder nods his confirmation. I am not going to drink anything without knowing what it is.I take a sip and look around to see that there is only Elder Alarick and Elder Raoul in the room with me. Elder Alarick is sitting in his chair behind the desk and Elder Raoul takes a seat beside the couch on the chair.I do not understand why I fainted but the elders seem to be completely calm about my condition which means they know why this happened. This is such a bi
SIERRAI sit there for I don't know how much time after Fenris leaves me in the infirmary room. I was scared of his behavior when he came on to me like that but I understood his desperation. His mate had disappeared, he himself witnessed my near rape at the hands of those rogues which justifies his need to mark me but I just couldn't. I am not yet ready to move on. Aztec's visit had confirmed this.I told him about Fenris being my mate but couldn't gather enough courage to accept that I had rejected my own mate for him. It would've made him feel guilty and somehow responsible for my current condition and I don't want that.I realised that in this entire situation, I have been thinking about me and Aztec. I never once thought about how Fenris felt about my abduction and then about Aztec's early morning visit and to top it off, I outright rejected him. This proves that I am hopeless and a very much useless mate to Fenris. I put my head in my hands and force myself from breaking down. I
FENRISI am flipping the pancake carefully making sure that it becomes golden brown and doesn't burn when Sierra's loud scream echoes in the house. Her thought projections are all chaotic and I can sense only panic and fear.Almost throwing the pan in my hands, I quickly shut the burner and climb up the stairs two at a time to our pup's room from where I can hear my mate's chaotic thoughts. Throwing open the door, I look around for threats but find none. Sierra's gaze is wild with fear and tears are running down her cheeks as she stares at the crib in which our new born is sleeping soundly."What's wrong," I whisper walking towards her and wiping away her tears, not wanting to wake up the pup. She's too sensitive to even the smallest of sounds."She's not here. She wasn't there when I came in here to check in on her," my mate screams, waking up our daughter who immediately starts crying."She's here, Sierra. She's in the crib," I pick up our little Kotyonok and take her to Sierra who'
SIERRA"On behalf of our prince, I, Elder Alarick hereby declare Luna Aurora's son, Connor Lupe as the new Alpha of Blue Moon Pack. Conan Lupe was the one to break the mate bond, therefore, losing his position as the Alpha but his mate will still be their pack's unofficial Luna till Alpha Connor finds his mate."I watch as Connor makes a cut in his palm and lets it mix with all the five elders' blood, forming a new bond, an Alpha bond. Then he mixes his blood with Fenris's to strengthen his bond with the future Alpha King of Recrania.I am once again seated between Christine and my mom watching my mate perform all those rituals. I am restless. I want to claim him, now.As if listening to my prayers, Elder Alarick motions for all the Alphas to come forward and then tells Fenris to get me. I quickly stand up and meet Fenris halfway not at all deterred by a few chuckles and whispering.Fenris smiles at my excitement, his own shining in his eyes and I put my hand in his as we walk togethe
SIERRAI try to hear what my mate's saying but am distracted by his appearance and his voice. I am literally swooning in my seat watching Fenris address his people before beginning the elders' selection. I had a case of jittery legs so I requested to sit and watch him instead of standing beside him. I'll be up there with him during the ascension ceremony but for now, I want to watch him and let him be known as the Alpha of his future pack.My morning sickness attacks me unexpectedly and I am pretty sure that everyone around me is keeping their distance because they don't want the risk of being puked upon. Apparently, only my scent can be hidden, not the symptoms.I have the front row seat, being the Alpha Prince's mate. My parents are beside me on one side whereas Christine is on my other side and Yuki and Randale beside Christine.All the Alphas have been given the second-row seats with their children sitting in the third-row seats. The people from Crimson Shadow are seated in the ro
SIERRAI try hard, very hard to not be afraid of Alpha Conan but I can't help it when he's standing at my door with a murderous look on his face demanding to meet my mate and cursing like a mad man. Well, a mad man he is!"Be careful, Alpha Conan. You shouldn't disrespect the future Queen of Recrania," growls Fenris, making me jump. Alpha Conan looks over my shoulder at Fenris who walks angrily towards me, literally lifting me and putting me behind him. I clutch on his t-shirt which is becoming wet from the water dripping from his hair, no doubt he heard Alpha Conan's cursing from the bathroom while showering."She's not the queen yet neither are you the King. In fact, you and your horde of elders are not at all capable of ruling a country as big as Recrania. With only two elders by your side you cannot stop me from marrying off my daughter to the Alpha King of Abros."Fenris growls and takes a step forward but I hold his shirt, feeling my anger rise at how carelessly he has disregard
FENRISI pace in elder Alarick's office desperately wanting to go back home and in my mate's arms and not deal with this problem. Since the day she woke up, I can't help myself, I crave her presence. It's not the fact that she's carrying my child that I crave her presence but more like her kidnapping has made me paranoid. I can't even for a second imagine my life without her in it but when I was summoned by elder Alarick because I refused to go to him, I was pushed out of the house by the same mate."Let's not actively look out for Alexandria. Let her think that we don't care and that we've forgotten about her," I suggest elder Alarick even when I don't understand how she managed to get out of her prison. She's no doubt had some help and that too from someone in the school."That's alright. She might even lead us to her master. Just put a spy on her," he says and I nod my agreement. I have many people who would fit in the category of a spy, I smirk mentally."You need to claim the Alp
SIERRA"What?" he growls and then pulls me up by my arm gently yet firmly and pulls me close so that our chests are touching. My nipples harden at the feel of his hard chest. My body always betrays me! Here, I am trying to have a serious conversation but my body is busy preparing itself for her mate's touch.How gross is it? Pathetic even."Tell me, mate and this time take a pause in between," he whispers in my ears no doubt noticing my body's response to his touch. My suspicions are confirmed when he nibbles on my ears. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, letting his scent into my body before preparing myself to speak."Do you think of me as a power-hungry mate?" I ask finally not actually knowing of how he will react.He let's go of me completely and I sway for a moment not at all expecting this reaction from him. My fears are confirmed. He does think of me like that. Oh, no! What am I going to do?"I think you should rest for some time. Are you not feeling well?" he asks comple
SIERRA"By the time we reached the school territory, elder Ernouf had also passed away. Since then, all the wolves present here are in mourning. We haven't begun classes or any other regular activities or meetings. It has all come to a standstill," says Fenris.We are sitting on the couch in the living room where Fenris is telling me all those things that I missed during my sleep. He told me how Dominic and he had become friends and that his presence was what kept them away. I am grateful for his presence even if he was a prisoner and I wouldn't wish that life on anyone but because of him, my worst nightmare was avoided."Who poisoned elder Ernouf's food?" I ask fiddling with Fenris's hair which is in serious need of a haircut. He has now shaved his beard and I get more of his face to kiss and smother."I don't know. When I reached here, you were all skeleton and your recovery was my priority. Elder Alarick says that someone close that is a wolf with authority poisoned him as earlier
SIERRAIt's too warm, I think as I wake up. Turning my head, I bump my nose directly into the source of the warmness and see that it's the chest of my huge mate who's wrapped around me like a wise, protecting me even in his sleep, making sure that I don't go anywhere, as if I would want to be anywhere else.Never.I came very close to lose everything. My mate and our pup, I almost lost them because of Xavier and I can't thank the Goddess enough for sending my mate there when she did.I nuzzle my nose in his chest and he stirs rolling to lie on his back and pulling me with him. Now I am the one draped over him and I fully intend to take advantage of it. I lift my face over his chest and take in my mate's sleeping form. He looks relieved, less tired. The shadows under his eyes have vanished and his face looks serene even with all that beard covering his face.I let my gaze roam over his neck, his chest and shoulders checking for myself that he's fine. The memory of his skin burning afte
SIERRAA loud buzzing noise disturbs my sleep, forcing me to open my eyes. It's dark and for one moment, the horrible thought that Xavier caught me again and imprisoned me invades my mind. Only, the familiar scent of my mate keeps the hysteria at bay.Slowly, the images of Fenris killing Xavier and then carrying me to some car, giving me hot water and then falling asleep, enter my mind. I fell asleep. Oh yes, and it was the best sleep I've had in a long time."Shut up, Fenris. She's awake," someone says loudly and a growl slips from my throat. It's too loud for my ears.Looking around, I search for my mate knowing that he's here with me but my brain doesn't co-operate with me. I feel stiff and heavy. My body feels heavy as if I am suffering from a hangover.He notices my discomfort, perhaps, as he leans over my body and soon, his face comes into my view. I find his wide cobalt blue gaze. There are shadows beneath his eyes no doubt from worrying about me. He has a beard. Oh my! He look
