SIERRA"Open the door Sierra. We have to get ready to go to Aztec's birthday party," yells Tatiana standing outside our room.It is now 5 pm in the evening which means that the party for Aztec's birthday will start in an hour. I still cannot believe the fact that Aztec is not my mate but I am not dumb to know that those two were not lying about their claim of being mates.I do not want to go to this party but it would be considered as an insult if I do not go to celebrate a fellow wolf's birthday that is also my pack's future alpha. His mate will also be there standing beside him, the proud mate. Thinking about it brings tears to my already swollen eyes. I try to control my tears but I fail and start to sob silently."Okay now I am tired of waiting outside the room and listening to you sob relentlessly. I can smell your tears from here babe. Let me in. I might be able to help you with whatever you are upset about," she says and I know that she won't stop until I tell her what has ma
FENRIS"Any other wolf who claims to have found their mate?" asks elder Raoul as he looks first at Sierra and then at me. That day I had tried to form a soundproof bubble around us but elder Raoul, being able to wield magic himself, must have heard bits and pieces of our conversation.I try to control my urge to shout out and claim my mate here in front of everyone but I control my wolf and my urges. I promised her time till her birthday which means I have to wait for almost a year.It becomes unbearable to hear the greetings and congratulations the new found mates receive. My animalistic urges are much harder because we had to wait for our mate for 3 years and now, she rejected us.I curl my hands into fists and grit my teeth with a force so as to push my wolf in the back of my mind but fail immediately when we feel her eyes on us. Fuck! I can't control myself. I might mark her here if she stares at us with that sad and broken aura around her.I quickly make my way out of the hall a
SIERRA"Hey Sierra. How are you doing? How's your heart?" smirks Alexandria trying to get on my nerves but I have learnt to put on deaf ears to my packmates.It has been three days since Aztec's birthday, specifically the day he found his mate. From that day, Aztec seems to have forgotten that a girl named Sierra Boris exists in his life.Come on! I understand he found his mate who's not me but still what kind of a best friend is he? To forget me after he found his mate, he is so not a good friend at all. Since then, Alexandria has never left a chance to rub it in my face that I am not Aztec's mate hence, not the future Luna. Aztec now seems to take care of Avery, looks after her meals as he once did for me. The sight brings tears to my eyes and my already broken heart breaks a little more."Learn your place in this training school pup. Or do you want me to put you in it?" growls Tatiana who hasn't left my side since then. I am really grateful for her support. She is a great friend."
SIERRA"Your performance is certainly better than when you all first arrived here. Very good. I hope you all continue with this improvement in every other monthly test. Good Luck!" says elder Amaruq on behalf of other elders and leaves the exam room. Some of their apprentices stay behind to explain our next month's schedule on request of the elders.Fenris is also here and has been occasionally looking at me but as soon as our eyes meet, I immediately avert my eyes. I do not know why but I couldn't gather up the courage to at least show him that I acknowledge his claim.It has been a week now since my wolf's encounter with Fenris and I am still ignoring him. I do not know how to behave around him. I realise I have made a big mistake but I do not know how to rectify it. What if he misunderstands that I am accepting him only because Aztec found his true mate and I am lonely? It is partly true that I do feel lonely but I now know that I shouldn't have rejected him hastily. I kind of gav
FENRISI am such a fool. Sierra was finally acknowledging my claim as my mate. She no longer thought that I was some psychotic who was just taking advantage of her situation.But being an idiot, I ignored her. I ignored my mate!Her sad eyes and anxious face still flash in front of my eyes as I try hard to stand by my promise. Even if she agrees that I am her mate, I won't claim her till her birthday because of my promise.I won't interfere in her personal life till the time she becomes of age otherwise my promise or my word would not be considered of value.So, here I stand eavesdropping on my mate's conversation with her fellow trainees outside the examination hall. I am standing here, especially to keep an eye on that Alexandria bitch. The she-wolf knows that something is going on between me and Sierra but is dumb enough to see the obvious. It is better that she doesn't find out about me being Sierra's mate. I know for sure that this girl lives to make my mate's life miserable.I s
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
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
