“I know, it’s bad for my health. I know Lily told you that you need to bee attentive to my sleep hours, but I swear I do what I can.” Lily had appeared one night, completely out of nowhere. Hunter was asleep, while I worked. The little witch spilled a glass of water on him to wake him up and tell her that he had to stop me. From that day, I always had nightmares. Raw nightmares. Most were about losing Hunter in different ways. In some when I appeared it was too late, but in others … in others it was me who ended up killing him. Fear would not let me sleep, so I concentrated on looking for solutions. I was afraid of losing Hunter and nobody could understand it. His birthday would be in three days and no matter how much I wanted to be with him just being a couple of teenagers, I could not afford it. Not with a war on the way. I spent the nights sailing, thinking, analysing, and trying to get a solution. “Lily tries to take care of you.” “They disappear without saying goodbye,” I
“I’m not good at hitting, but Hunter says my kick is strong,” I explained, embarrassed. “I see,” he said. “Train will not be difficult, but I will not be soft with you.” “If you get hurt …” Shut it, dog. I do not intend to hurt this little creature.” I knew that Hunter did not agree, but for some reason he did not refuse. Why? Because he knows that it is necessary that I know how to fight… and he does not want to be the one who does it. “Very well, rest a few minutes and look for me in the ring,” Donovan said, stirring my hair with his hand. “I will do it!” “You’re not going to face someone normal, Sienna. He is the monarch of the vampires who we are talking about.” “I know.” “Take care of yourself. A single scratch and I will stop everything.” I was worried while he finished helping me put on the clothing to protect me. Vampires had everything in their training camp. They could become terrifying training. I did not feel very comfortable with so many things over, but it w
“Bunny babe. Bunny girl,” crooned Hunter. “Who is the prettiest girl?” In the last few days, he became childish and overly affectionate. I knew he was doing it for me, to try to ease my concern. I also knew that he was organising wolves and vampires for the time of the battle, taking seriously the role it played. Hunter had a complicated personality and might seem like an idiot, but he was still the future Alpha of the pack. He was still the only person able to create a strategy to win the war. Appearances could be deceiving. I was human enough to achieve and do anything important in the pack. And I had now become the moon to him, besides being possibly one of the few people able to confront the most dangerous being in history. Sorcerers of the community could not face Allen Samuel directly. Controlling the mind of a sorcerer is one of the greatest weaknesses of it. Any moderately powerful sorcerer could learn this. Even I was a victim of it. My wolf, on the other hand, said no.
Preparations were made without Hunter’s knowledge. I wanted to throw a small surprise party, knowing that most likely he already suspected it. Tomorrow will be an important day. I smiled, giving one last look at the room, just before retiring to bed. “Happy Birthday!” I jumped over at Hunter who’s sleeping, causing him to complain. He barely reacted, trying to cling to a pillow and fall back asleep. “Bunny, you’re crushing me.” “Let’s go! Cheer up, wolf. Do not tell me you can not beat the weight of your own moon.” Hunter gave me a dirty look just before getting out of bed with me in tow, as if nothing had happened to him. The ego… “You just hurt my ego, silly girl.” I laughed, caressing his head as if it were a kind of puppy. Hunter only rolled his eyes, but he did not complain. “Thank you, bunny.” He set down his gentle kiss on my lips. “Where is my gift?” Oh, I had planned some gifts for him. I had gotten up very early in the morning just to have the perfect gift for hi
It’s fantastic. We can now be called pervert teenagers. Although, after all, it is not as if we were too old. There were still a few months until my eighteenth birthday, so I was still considered a teenager. But I was older than them! “Do not worry so much,” Liam said. “Come on, Hunter.” Hunter took me from the waist up, leaving a gentle kiss on my lips. It was a promise that no matter what happened, we would both be fine. His way of making sure I do not worry so much. “We’ll see you soon, bunny.” “See you soon.” “Oh!” Lily suddenly exclaimed. “Happy Birthday, Alpha!” “Thank you, peculiar witch.” I felt the hand of the time traveller crawling up the stairs. She was laughing with mischief, opening the door of the room where I stayed as if I already knew exactly what she was. “Your dress is gorgeous. I stole it from a princess.” “What?” “Kidding. If that were the case, the dress would not have your measurements.” “And when did I give you my measurements?” I perked an eyebrow
Before retiring, the Alpha had to choose the next beta of the pack. It was a matter of avoiding favouritism. Izaiah and Hunter usually did not get along too well, but they would have to learn to live together and work together. So his last order was to ascend Izaiah as the Beta of the pack. So this would also be a small celebration for him. Although, if you asked me, Izaiah did not look too comfortable with the position. Maybe it was due to his inability to transform himself, but even with that, he was the best wolf of the pack after Hunter. They gave us a warm welcome. The people of my pack seemed to be having a good time. They had been integrated without any problems. They were proud to be part of a full pack. My heart was squeezed in my chest. I missed Leonel. I wanted him to be here with me. It was an important day for me, and it was so lacking. He can not get involved, Sienna. It has an important mission. I know, I would only have liked it to be here. Then we will celebra
She seemed to want to run away, which was even more suspicious. “I am a guardian of the border.” Her voice was shaking. My magic recognized her before I felt any discomfort in my neck. Fury soon took hold of me. How dare she come here? “Who gave you the right to come here? I know all the members of my pack. Therefore, you are not part of it. Someone who left her position, her mate, and their families is not welcome here.” The woman who gave life to Hunter and then abandoned him. She was the person who threatened the pack because of her selfishness. She not only gave up her title as “moon” but she also resigned herself as a wife and mother. Hunter’s mother gave me a surprised look, as if she did not expect me to recognize her. “Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?” She recovered after a while, leaving behind the façade of a fearful woman. I knew it. I was aware of who I treated despite the fact that I had never seen her before. Besides, I could see that she’s not on
I lowered my eyes, causing me to repent instantly. Everything turned around me, staggering me to the point of almost kissing the floor. I laughed with strength to stumble. Hunter was immediately close, catching me in the air. He left me on the ground as if he were making a block tower, taking care that I did not collapse just because the breeze clashed against me. “Look, Hunter! There are so many stars in the sky.” “You already said it, Sienna.” “It’s not true. I only said it now!” “Yes, you’re right.” He sighs. “Leave me alone.” I roll my eyes at him. “You are bad.” “I just want to take care of you, bunny.” “No!” I shouted. “You are bad and cruel.” He sighed as if trying to be patient. Sad for him, that’s what he would have had less of. His hands were taught, he frowned a little. He was not upset; he was just worried about my condition. He was so beautiful… “Thank you, Mother Luna, for giving me such an exceptional mate!” “Sienna. A little coffee and a shower would be a p
“This new life … is it good?” He stood up. “It will be.” I smiled. Yule Cairo walked away from me. I saw him leave smiling. I’m happy for him. We had managed to save him. The meadow began to darken, until the sun hid and the moon came out to replace it. It was then when my head began to hurt. It hurt a lot. I complained, holding my head. What the hell was happening with me? “Wake up!” I opened his eyes, getting close with Hunter’s anguished face. My mate, my best friend. His hetero chromatic eyes welcomed me. His gaze travelled over my body as if he were looking for injuries, as if he’s trying to find out what was wrong. “Sienna, my bunny, my love.” He hugged me as he cried. I felt my body slow, my mind scattering between sleep and reality. What had happened? Wolf? Wolf? Wolf! “Hunter,” I whispered in panic, my voice trembling just like my hands. “My wolf…” Hunter shook his head, answering me without words. My wolf had not managed to survive. There were no traces of her,
They looked at each other’s eyes, as if they were deciding what to do without words. It even seemed like a discussion. I knew what they thought. Lily had accepted my words without replicas, but Liam was insisting. He wanted to stay. Liam was incredibly overprotective with me. “There’s no time for this!” I shouted. “Get out of here!” Lily nodded in my direction, taking Liam’s hand and disappearing before he could register it. I breathed calmly once they left. Leonel looked at me with apprehension, transmitting everything he felt through that look. He left a soft caress on my shoulder without saying a word. I know how much he felt with the loss of Primrose. He had also been her friend, for a very short time he did live with her. “Do you have an idea of what we are going to do?” he asked. “We’re going to condemn us.” We move towards the dying body of Allen Samuel. He was sweating and murmuring Primrose’s name . He seemed to be in a lot of pain. He writhed between the withered flow
The air began to miss, my sight was completely clouded. I was only aware of his gaze murdering me. I noticed that the haze disappeared as the seconds passed. My magic was trying to go back, but my state was not the best. I could not think of coherence. I thought about Hunter … If I died, he would follow me. I did not want to die like that, I did not want to lose everything like that. I wanted to cling to life. However, I did not prepare myself to notice the change in his eyes. He went from seeing me as if he wanted to make me disappear, to seeing me with panic, with the horror mark on his face, as if he did not understand what was happening. As if something was killing him inside … He released me. I fell to the ground, hitting my head on the spot with some roots. I was about to lose consciousness, my sight became black and started dancing and entered into the unconsciousness and reality when I noticed Primrose. Primrose emerged from the forests with a dagger in her hand. It was
Leonel became a beautiful grey wolf, always by my side. His coat seemed to shine and illuminate everything at the passage of him. The wolf size of him was greater than mine, but smaller than Hunter’s. He transformed once we confirmed that our magic shone by the absence of him. The advantages of being a hybrid. If he did not count on magic, he could always count on his wolf. “I’m going to kill you, cursed snaps,” Allen Samuel said, who never stopped his attacks with ice. At least we had the luck to dodge thanks to our reflections since magic still did not return to us. The ice began to affect everyone, but there was nothing we could do, at least not for now. Leonel and I attacked together. He went on the right, while I went to the left. However, Allen Samuel made us fly through the air without even sweating a little. I screwed up against a tree, grunting low by the force of the blow. It was too strong. Without the magic to defend ourselves from his attacks, we would not win agains
I’m fine, I growled. I could not do this. I was not strong enough to deal with ice and attacks. My wolf wanted control. I’m tired of fighting it. It was wise to know when I needed help. And I needed the help of my wolf. I got up from the ground with an impressive force. I did not need magic to get rid of the ice that enveloped me. My body moved with great speed, feeling it for the first time in my life. I felt free. Allen Samuel was surprised to see me. He launched big attacks in my direction but he failed miserably. I fight without using magic to defend myself. I am only guided by my instincts. I dodge each attack as I approach him. Leonel interceded to see what I was doing. It was not a good idea to approach Allen Samuel while my body was not used to what was happening. “You’re transforming”! Leonel shouted, panicked. He covered me with his body, taking care as I adapted to this new way, making sure that everything was fine. Yes, we knew how it would be if I came to transfor
Hunter always knew when my anxiety attacks began. He had struggled to keep my attacks under control, but the stress of recent months, plus the things that began to get out of my control. It was impossible to keep my sanity when the whole world promoted me to madness. “Ready, I need you to keep your mind cleared,” he whispered gently in my ear. “I know…” “Then just let me,” he ordered. “I will take care of Primrose and the twins.” “But…” “I know what my role is, but I also know which one is yours.” His face showed a grimace of concern. “You are going to face a dangerous being directly. I can not help you in your fight, but I can take care of all this. I am an Alpha. I can do it.” “I have trust in you.” I smiled, feeling lighter. “Look.” He raised his hand, showing me what he had. “The dagger is ready for the attack. I always keep it near me.” My mother’s dagger seemed to shine in anticipation. It was as if my mother’s struggle spirit remained alive inside the dagger. Always lo
I smiled, empowering both of them. “I have no idea what it was, but I know you’re here because you just knew it.” The reactions confirmed it for me. I did not want to investigate too much, so I only moved my hand, moving away from both the thoughts. “Allen Samuel is dangerous, Sienna,” said Lily. I already know it. “You do not know. At this time, you are too young to know.” “But I will not be young forever,” I repeated. “Trust me. I know I can do it, Liam.” He pressed his eyes shut, denying his head. By the time he managed to open them and look me in the eyes, the tears peeked from his own. He hugged me with strength, muttering how much he felt. Lily did not want to be approached. I’ve known about it since he entered my office. She always stayed at a painful distance, as if she feared, as if she was scared of my response. I smiled with discomfort, without trying to approach. She didn’t look at me with hatred or a grudge; she was just… cautious. “Sienna. I promise that I will
“I know,” I said. It was perhaps an act of selfishness to cry this way. I knew that one day she would have to leave to be with her other half. I was aware that being so far apart was causing her great heartache. I knew she had to say goodbye. Recovering from the death of a loved one was never simple, but everything was complicated a little more when a war came over you. I did not have time to deal with the pain of her death. Not even to deal with the mark on my neck that bothered me more and more everyday. I only spent my days buried in my office, looking for any existing solution. Time was running out and I was stuck in the same situation as two months ago. I could not find anything, not even a track that brought me mental peace. Hunter was the only one who managed to get me out of there, feed me, make sure he rested for a couple of hours, and train me. Donovan had finished his training a couple of days ago, so he had more time to recite me in the office. I felt much more confi
Is the connection between mates failing? It seemed incredible, however, I had no idea how to help Izaiah with this. Such a situation escaped from my hands. In fact, I could not even understand my own connection with Hunter. It always surprised me the ability to know what he felt or what was distant. My mark stung once again, to the point of having to grab my hands to prevent scratching. “Easy, soon you will achieve her location. Just be patient.” I try to advise him. “I hope so.” He sighed. At the least I had brought him out of his head the idea that I was his mate. That left me a little quieter. He looked at me as if he were trying to understand, as if trying to see beyond me, but at the least it was not that old longing and craving. If his mate was moving, that meant it was someone important. Perhaps someone who already knew … Do not be an idiot. I reprimanded my wolf. What? Makes sense. It was the only way to explain what he felt. Do not get involved. I might have to make
