SIERRAI felt lifeless as I called for Sierra, my heart kept pounding hard, my breathing was coming out in pants, and the wound in my stomach and shoulder kept bleeding."Let's go." The one who appeared to be the leader of the rogues ordered."But he's still breathing." Another said wanting nothing more than to snatch my life."Besides he killed a lot of us." Another opined.The leader cast a disgusting look at me, "This one is not going to survive, let him rot away here." He turned away, "He can serve as food for hungry animals." He said.The rogues turned away from me, they followed the same path that Alpha Harold took.I couldn't die in the forest like some mere animal, I had to do something to help Sierra, I could tell that Harold's greed would lead him to do anything to her.The pain in my shoulder hurt as hell, he hadn't bothered to pull out the spear. I pushed myself up, and with my free hand, I grabbed a handful of sand to get my arms dusty, and then I pulled out the spear.Bl
SIERRAI opened my eyes groggily as I took in my surroundings, my head ached painfully, Harold had hit me with a stick so I could lose consciousness.I was in a damp and poorly lit basement, the air was dry and a heavy smell of decay filled the air making it impossible for me to breathe. I stared around, the doors were made with strong iron bars that made it impossible for me to escape when if I wanted to.I tried to move but it was impossible to do so, my arms were tightly tied with a strong rope that dug deep into my flesh any time I moved. After the chains, I was wrapped with a sliver chain that held my legs and hands bound. My mouth felt dry and sticky."Harold sure did his best to restrain me." I couldn't help but murmur.The stinky smell of wolfsbane hit my nostrils, it made my head pound painfully. The sick bastard had laced the chains with it, it burned anytime the chain came in contact with my bare skin.I closed my eyes trying to reach for Rieka, she was the only one who cou
SIERRAA sudden burst of light erupted from the doors, almost blinding me."Get your filthy hands off her, you bastard!" An angry voice shouted.It sounded like Kane, freedom at last. I felt as though a sudden load was lifted off my chest, my breathing came out in loud pants.He got up with a frown on his face, "Who do you think you are to tell me that?" His eyes were raised mockingly.The triplets stepped into the room with so much strength and glory radiating from them. Their faces seemed to scream, we will not hesitate to kill whoever tries to stop us.Harold scoffed, "Do you think you can overpower me?" He sneered.Kane drew closer to him grabbing him by the collar, "If you try as much as touching a strand of her hair, I promise that I will rip out your tongue and feed you with it." He threatened.Alpha Harold burst into hysterical laughter, "You amuse me." He said dipping his hand into his pocket, he brought out a handkerchief, "I have laughed so hard that I might cry." He was la
SIERRATingles filled my entire being, butterflies flew in my stomach, and my body ached with anticipation of what was about to happen."What are you guys up to?" I asked trying to hide my smile, I could feel hot heat between my legs."We want to give you a good time," Kane replied, I could see the huge bulge in his trousers, and my eyes widened at the size."I know you want it too, Sierra," Zane whispered seductively."Turn around Sierra," Dane said quietly. I turned, and a small gasp escaped my mouth, they had turned my room into paradise, a small fire was burning softly by the side, giving the room a strange yet beautiful glow. The curtains were down and my bed sheets were changed, the room scent of roses and lavender."Oh my goodness, when did you guys put this together?" I asked with a smile on my face."It's nothing much," Dane muttered smiling."It's just a sage," Kane muttered.He walked closer to me with his eyes dark with lust.The fire crackled, its warm glow casting flic
THANEI woke up feeling worried, Sierra's powers were becoming uncontrollable. What exactly were her powers meant for? Unlike her, most of the peculiar powers I've heard of were mostly strength, like we Lycans had greater strength than normal werewolves.Healers aren't left out, they were naturally gifted by the goddess to heal and they were given special education on how to cope with their gifts and how to use them for the good of humanity.However, it's all different with Sierra, none of us could pinpoint what exactly her powers were, what purpose they served, and to what extent they go.My eyes flickered around the dimly lit room, the wall clock kept clicking away, the time was two am in the morning and I was wide awake.The memories of how Elvis kept wanting her, how he had her locked up for so long just so he could get what he wanted, I couldn't stop thinking about how Harold too went as far as sending rogues over to my pack to test her powers.Or was it at Kol's pack, how we fou
SIERRAMy eyes opened almost reluctantly, I was having a nice sleep. I could feel a heavy weight on my waist as I stirred awake, I shot up immediately to see what it was, it was an arm, and it belonged to none other than my mate, Kane."Go to sleep." He grumbled out with his eyes closed.I smiled as I settled back into bed, The three boys were sleeping on my bed, they were tangled with me and the worst part of it all was that they were very much naked.Dane had his head buried in between my breasts, his hair grazed my nipples. Kane was behind me, his arms held me tight as soon as I laid back on the bed. While Zane was under, he had tucked himself in between Dane and me, his head was the same level as my waist.I needed a walk, my legs felt numb from sleeping too much and the boys had worn me out last night, I could barely feel the life in my legs.Carefully, I took Kane's hands off my waist, as soon as I placed it on the bed, he reached out to me again, his hold tightening even more t
SIERRAInstantly, the depressed thought began to disappear, the boys got up from the bed butt naked, my eyes went down to their dicks standing proud and tall, and I began to salivate."Come here, Sierra." Zane licked his lips."Take off those clothes before you get here," Kane ordered.An order that I would gladly and shamelessly adhere to.I peeled my dress off my body and stepped out of the dress, thankfully, I hadn't worn a bra, my breasts stood proudly on my chest and my nipples hardened instantly."Look at those tits." Dane whistled, his eyes sending me signals that made my clit swell.Kane stood beside the bed not saying a word, yet his eyes were on me, they stared at my body appreciatively as though he worshipped me, I could see adoration written in his eyes, those intense stares made me water.I walked towards them shyly, my leg hitting the other as I moved. Nothing mattered anymore, not even the foul words that were said concerning me, not even the journey ahead of me. None o
SIERRAMother went still, she slowly freed her hands from my hold, and her whole demeanor changed."Thane doesn't need to know the full story." She muttered as she got up from the bench."But Mom, what if he finds out? I think you should tell him before he does." I said standing up too.She turned her back on me, "He won't find out, there's no use digging up the past unnecessarily."I watched as she walked out of the garden. Maybe she was right, Thane would never find out, and there was no use bringing up sad events.After breakfast, I went to my room to rest a little, as I lay on the bed to sleep, a knock sounded on the door.I pushed myself up to answer it, it was a maid standing by the door."I'm so sorry to disturb your rest ma'am, but there's someone here to see you." She said looking down."Who's it?" I asked yawning, I wanted to be in the comfort of my bed right now."It's Alpha Erin's daughter, Claire," She replied.I paused, it's been a while since I last heard from her, I wo
ARIELI was furious.My hands shook, my breath came out in short, sharp bursts, and my entire body burned with rage. Astrid. That traitor. She ran to Sierra, ran straight into the arms of our enemies, spilling my secrets like a pathetic little rat.How dare she?I stormed through the house, knocking over anything in my path. A vase shattered against the floor. A chair crashed against the wall. The vampires around me scrambled out of my way, their heads lowered, their bodies pressed against the walls like they could disappear if they stayed still enough.They should be afraid.I wanted them to be afraid.I stopped, my sharp eyes landing on one of the younger ones, a nervous-looking fool hovering in the corner. His hands twitched at his sides like he was debating whether to run.I moved before he could even think about it.One second, I was across the room. The next, I had my fingers wrapped around his throat, lifting him off the ground with ease. His hands clawed at mine, his feet kick
SIERRAI folded my arms, overseeing Astrid. Everything in me screamed not to trust her, but I couldn’t ignore what she was saying either. Ariel’s magic had already done enough damage, I knew that firsthand.Before I could respond, Dane stepped beside me, his stance tense and rigid. His distrust was written all over his face. “You’re really going to listen to her?” he scoffed. “It’s probably a trick. Ariel could’ve put her up to this.”“She’s a vampire,” Zane added sharply. “Why would she suddenly care about helping us? It doesn’t make sense.” His jaw clenched as he eyed Astrid with suspicion.Astrid let out a slow breath as if she had expected this reaction. “I wouldn’t risk coming here,” she said, her voice steady but urgent. “Not when I know exactly what Ariel is capable of.” Her golden eyes flickered with something close to desperation. “You don’t understand, if she finds out I came here, I’ll pay for it.”“She will find out,” Kane snapped. His fists curled at his sides. “She alway
ASTRIDSierra’s eyes widened at my words, but she masked her shock quickly, narrowing her gaze at me. I could see the battle happening in her mind, the way she warred with whether to believe me or not. I didn’t blame her. We had never been on the same side, and now, here I was, claiming to offer an alliance.“I don’t trust you,” she said flatly, her arms crossing over her chest.“I don’t expect you to,” I admitted. “But trust isn’t necessary. What matters is that we both have a common problem and right now, I’m offering you the truth.”Sierra hesitated for only a moment before turning back toward the house. I expected her to invite me in, but instead, she stepped outside, her mates following close behind her. I had to stop myself from reacting. Smart girl. She wasn’t going to let me into her home, not even for a conversation. I respected that.Dane and the others flanked her protectively, their stares filled with open suspicion. Dane spoke first. “What do you want, Astrid?”I took a s
ASTRIDThe moment I stepped back into the estate, fury clawed at my insides. My hands curled into fists, my nails digging into my palms as I stormed down the hall. I had to get away from Ariel before I did something reckless.How dare she? How dare she bind us together with a spell so dangerous that a single weak link could drag us all down? And then, to stand there and smirk, as if she had all the power in the world?I should have ripped her apart.Instead, I took a deep breath, pushed down my rage, and kept walking. I had to be smarter than that.I didn’t make it far before I heard a sharp voice behind me. “Astrid.”I turned to see Celia standing at the entrance to the main hall, arms crossed tightly over her chest, her usually composed face twisted with anger. The tension in the room was thick, pressing against me like an impending storm. Behind her, the other vampires stood in tense silence, their eyes burning with barely contained fury.“You knew about this, didn’t you?” Celia de
ARIELWhen I stepped into the grand hall of the vampire estate, I noticed something was off. Every single one of them, powerful, bloodthirsty creatures that they were, stood frozen, their faces pale with something close to fear.Fear of me.I smirked, letting the silence stretch, relishing the way their red eyes darted around the room like caged animals searching for an escape. Their fangs, usually displayed in smug confidence, remained tucked away, their bodies tense, stiff as statues.“Oh, don’t all rush to welcome me at once.” My voice rang through the cavernous space, laced with amusement.No one responded.A few of them took an instinctive step back, the movement subtle but not missed. One vampire near the entrance gripped the hilt of a dagger at his waist, though he made no move to draw it. Another swallowed thickly, his throat bobbing as though the very sight of me had dried his mouth.It was almost laughable.These creatures, feared by humans and even some supernaturals, stood
SIERRAThe hot water cascaded over my skin, washing away the remnants of exhaustion and frustration. I tried to hold onto my anger, to focus on the fact that Dane had made a deal with Ariel without even knowing the price. But it was difficult when his hands were on me, sliding down my arms, tracing gentle circles on my hips.“Dane,” I started, intending to scold him, but the words melted into a soft moan when his fingers dug slightly into my waist. I hated how easily he unraveled me, how his touch turned my fury into something else entirely.“I’m not leaving you, Sierra,” he murmured against my ear, his voice deep and resolute. “And I’m not doing anything with Ariel. I just couldn’t watch you suffer.”I sighed, leaning back against him as his lips ghosted over my neck. “I still don’t trust her.”“Neither do I,” he admitted, pressing a kiss just below my ear. “But I had to do something.”His hands moved up my stomach, teasing but never crossing the line. Heat coiled low in my belly, an
DANEI tightened my grip on Sierra’s limp hand, my heart pounding. Her face was too pale, her breathing too shallow. Every second that passed felt like a lifetime, and I couldn’t take it anymore.“Ariel,” I said, my voice raw. “Please. Do it now. Whatever it takes.”Ariel tilted her head, her lips curling into a knowing smile. “Begging now, are we?”I clenched my jaw. “Just save her.”Ariel rolled her eyes but knelt beside Sierra, placing her hands gently over the burn. A faint glow emitted from her palms, flickering like the flame of a candle before growing stronger. She murmured in a language I didn’t recognize, her voice steady and sure. The air around us thickened, charged with an almost electric energy that made the hairs on my arms stand on end.The glow spread, tendrils of light unfurling from Ariel’s hands and wrapping around Sierra’s body like a cocoon. The energy pulsed, shifting from a soft gold to an intense, almost blinding white. I clenched my fists, watching in tense si
DANEI couldn't take it anymore. Watching Sierra in agony, her body trembling as she fought against the pain, was unbearable. I felt useless, standing there while she suffered, unable to do a damn thing to help her. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, my frustration bubbling over until I couldn’t hold it in any longer.“I need some air,” I muttered, turning on my heel.“Dane.” Kane’s voice was sharp with suspicion. “Where are you going?”I didn’t answer. I just kept walking, my strides long and determined as I pushed open the door of the packhouse and stepped into the night. The cool air did nothing to soothe the fire in my chest. Sierra’s pained whimpers echoed in my ears, haunting me with every step I took.Kane cursed under his breath and hurried after me. “Don’t do anything stupid,” he warned, grabbing my arm. “I know what you’re thinking.”I yanked my arm free. “Then you know I can’t just stand there and watch her suffer, Kane.” My voice was rough with frustration. “She’s i
SIERRAAriel’s smirk deepened, eyes glinting with amusement as she leaned against the tree, arms crossed. “Well?” she prompted, tilting her head. “Do we have a deal?”I clenched my fists, trying to keep my breathing steady despite the pain in my arm. “It’s impossible,” I said, shaking my head. “I don’t mind giving up my powers, but I will never give you my mate.”The boys tensed beside me, their postures rigid. Dane’s jaw locked, and Kane let out a sharp breath through his nose. Zane took a threatening step forward. “You’re insane if you think we’d ever agree to that.”Ariel threw her head back and laughed, the sound ringing through the darkened woods like a twisted melody. “Oh, you poor things,” she cooed, her eyes flashing with mischief. “I was trying to be polite, but since you insist on making this difficult…”She lifted her hand and flicked her fingers.The pain was immediate and unbearable. A sudden, sharp heat shot through my entire body, like fire licking at my veins, burning
