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
SIERRAI rushed out of the packhouse with the boys, hearts pounding like a war drum.“What’s going on?” I shouted, trying to keep up with Alpha Thane. He was running like his life depended on it, carrying Mom in his arms. Sweat dripped down his face as he glanced back at me.“She’s in labor,” he said breathlessly, his voice tinged with panic. “But it’s too early!”“What?” My jaw dropped as I stumbled to keep pace. Labor? Mom wasn’t due for weeks!The pack clinic came into view, and I could already see the new doctor, a wiry man with sharp eyes, standing at the entrance. He waved us in seeing the Alpha without a second’s hesitation. The room smelled sterile and cold, but the heat of urgency made it feel suffocating.Alpha Thane gently placed Mom on the examination bed, his movements careful but hurried. His hands trembled as he tried to steady her, worry etched into every line of his face. Mom groaned loudly, clutching her swollen belly, her face twisted in pain. The sound made my ches
SIERRAMy mom’s lips parted slightly as if she were about to speak, but no sound came out. Instead, a low, guttural growl rumbled from deep within her chest.The doctor, still holding the baby, froze mid-motion, his eyes wide with alarm. “What’s happening?” he murmured, more to himself than to me.I took a step back, my heart pounding like a drum. “Mom?” I tried again, though my voice was trembling now.She tilted her head slightly, her black eyes locking onto mine, and for the first time in my life, I felt like I didn’t recognize her.The chaos hit like a thunderclap. One moment, I was frozen, staring into Mom’s unnatural black eyes, and the next, her voice pierced through the haze.“Sierra!” Mom’s scream snapped me out of my stupor just as something clattered to the ground near the door.A second later, thick, acrid smoke filled the room, clawing its way into my lungs. I coughed violently, my eyes watering as I stumbled back. The smell hit me like a punch, wolfsbane.“Mom! Baby!” I
SIERRAI slammed the door behind me, my heart pounding in my chest as anger and guilt churned inside me. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. The weight of everything, the guilt, the frustration, the pressure, was too much. My mind was a mess, full of things I couldn’t even begin to sort through.I stormed down the hall, not even acknowledging the few guards and maids who looked at me with concern. They wouldn’t understand. No one would. I felt completely alone in this.I reached the door leading outside and didn’t hesitate. I pushed it open and ran into the woods. The cool night air hit me, and I didn’t care about the dampness on my skin or the sound of the trees swaying. I just needed to be away from it all.The moon hung above, its pale light distant and cold. I could feel its pull, the connection we all had to it, but tonight, it only reminded me of how isolated I felt. How suffocated I was by.I couldn’t hold it in anymore.Without thinking, I threw my head back and howled
SIERRAI couldn't stop pacing. The thoughts were all over the place, Harold's words, the baby... my sister. It felt like my mind was spinning out of control. I didn’t know what to do. I could feel the weight of everything pressing down on me, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t shake it off."Stop pacing," Alpha Thane said. He didn’t even sound annoyed, just tired. "It won’t help.""I know," I snapped, running my hands through my hair. "But I can’t just sit still. I have to do something. I need to find my sister. Now.""You need to rest," he said, his voice calm. "We’ve already called Gerald. He’ll be here soon to help. Right now, you need to let your mother rest."I was the one who was supposed to fix this, not them."Your Majesty, this isn’t about resting. Harold’s going after my sister, not me. It’s me he wants, and I can’t let anyone else get hurt because of me."He stepped forward, closing the distance between us. "Sierra, we do this together. You’re not alone in this, oka
ZANEI woke up before anyone else, the quiet of the house sinking deep into my bones. Something felt off. My instincts told me Sierra wasn’t there. I stood up and walked over to her bed, half-expecting to find her still asleep, but the bed was empty.I frowned, my mind racing.“Where was she?” I muttered to myself.I wandered down the hall, knocking softly on a few doors, but no sign of her. Then I ended up in the kitchen where I found Luna Maya. She was stirring something in a pot, but her eyes were tired, and there was a sadness that made my heart tug.“Maya?” I said, leaning against the doorframe. “Have you seen Sierra?”She didn’t look up at first, still focused on her task. When she did finally turn, her eyes were tired but full of concern. “Sierra? No, I haven’t. Why? Is she not in her room?”I felt a tightness in my chest. “I don’t know... I can’t find her anywhere. Have you seen her this morning?”She sighed and set the spoon down. “No... I haven’t. She’s been distant, Zane. E
SIERRA I sighed deeply as I arrived at the third tower. It had been a long, exhausting day. The first two towers hadn’t led me anywhere. The sisters there had told me Harold wasn’t there, and neither was my sister. But I had a feeling this tower would be different. It had to be. My gut was telling me that everything was going to change here. I pushed open the door and stepped inside, preparing myself for anything. But what I saw took me by surprise. The tower wasn’t as dark and dangerous as I had expected. Instead, there was a feast happening. Music, laughter, food, and drinks were all around me. I froze for a moment, unsure of what to do. It felt so… out of place. A woman noticed me standing there and walked toward me. She wore a simple white robe, her face kind but cautious. “Ah, you are?” “I’m Sierra,” I replied. “ Welcome.” I barely nodded, too stunned by the scene to speak. “I’m looking for my sister. She’s been taken by Harold. He’s—” The woman nodded, cutting me off. “We
SIERRA“What do you mean you figured it out?” I asked Alpha Thane, stepping closer to him, my voice a little louder than I meant it to be. My heart was still pounding from everything that had just happened, and the last thing I needed was another mystery.Alpha Thane held up a hand calmly. “I mean, I know how to break the bond. Not on my own,” he added quickly, seeing the hopeful spark in my eyes. “But I know someone who can help us.”“Who?” Kane asked beside me, his jaw tight with tension.“An old warlock,” Alpha Thane answered. “Powerful. Wise. He helped my father during the old wars. If anyone can teach Sierra how to activate the bind properly and destroy it, it’s him.”I blinked, trying to process that. “You mean… I have the power to break the bond, but I don’t know how to use it.”“Exactly,” Alpha Thane nodded. “You’ve barely scratched the surface of what you’re capable of. That’s why Ariel’s getting away with this. She’s counting on you not knowing.”I swallowed, my throat dry.
SIERRAI stood stiffly, my jaw clenched so tight I could feel my teeth grinding. The room was filled with tension so thick it felt like we could slice it with a knife; ironically, that’s exactly what Ariel had just done.She was humming. Humming like everything was normal. Like we weren’t in the middle of a hostage situation. Then, without a word of warning, she picked up the knife from earlier and dragged the blade across her palm with a careless flick.The sound was soft, almost nothing, but the moment that tiny line of blood welled up on her hand, the baby let out a loud, distressed wail from the next room.My heart dropped.“What did you do?” I asked, my voice trembling. My eyes went wide as I took a step forward, fear creeping into every part of me.Ariel just smirked and looked down at her bleeding hand. “Oops.”Dane, Kane, and Zane were already moving, their faces pale, eyes locked on Ariel’s hand like it were made of fire.“You’re linked,” Zane whispered in horror.“Now you’re
SIERRAI stood frozen, my fists clenched so tightly my knuckles turned white. Ariel's smug grin burned into my vision, and the memory of her lips pressed against Dane's was a brand searing into my mind. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat echoing the fury building inside me."You think this is a game?" I spat, my voice trembling with barely contained rage.Ariel's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Oh, Sierra, always so dramatic. It's just a kiss."I took a step forward, the air around me crackling with energy. "Stay away from him."She tilted her head, feigning innocence. "Or what? You'll hurt me? Go ahead. But remember, hurting me means hurting your sister."I froze, the weight of her words crashing down on me. The bond between us meant any pain I inflicted on Ariel would be mirrored in my sister. I couldn't risk that.Dane stepped between us, his tall frame blocking me from Ariel's view. His jaw was tight, eyes locked on mine, full of worry and restraint. "Sierra, don't," he
SIERRAI stood rooted to the spot, my fists clenched so tightly my nails dug into my palms. Every nerve in my body was on fire, screaming at me to do something—anything. But I couldn’t. Not with the way she was holding us hostage.Ariel sat on the edge of the bed like it was her throne, her long legs crossed, her eyes gleaming with amusement as she slowly reached for the knife resting beside her. My stomach twisted.She lifted the blade with the ease of someone holding a spoon, turning it slightly so the metal caught the light. Her lips curled into a smug, knowing smile. I hated that smile. I hated that she looked so calm, like she was in complete control—because right now, she was.Then she began to trace the knife around her finger. Slowly. Precisely. Not enough to cut, but just enough to make her point clear. I could hear the faint scrape of metal on skin, and I wanted to scream.“You know,” she said sweetly, her voice light and mocking, “this could get messy. But it doesn’t have t
SIERRAI stood by the doorway, my arms crossed tightly against my chest as I watched Ariel lounging across the bed like she owned the place. The room had started to take on her scent, something sharp, overpowering, and just wrong. It was mixed with the familiar smell of the house, and I hated it. Every part of me screamed to push her out, to slam the door and throw her into the street where she belonged, but I couldn’t. Not yet.Her presence felt like a violation, an infection spreading through the walls of my home. My home. The one place where I should feel safe. But now, with her in it, everything felt different, off, wrong. She didn’t belong here. She had no right to be here. But the sick part was, she knew she had me trapped. She was the puppet master, and I was the one tangled in her strings. I couldn’t even defend myself properly because of the spell she had over me. And that made it worse. So much worse.She caught my eye as if she had been waiting for me to react. Her lips str
SIERRAAfter lunch, I went straight to my mother’s room. I needed to see her. I needed to see my baby. Just a few minutes with them always gave me the strength I needed to keep going. The moment I opened the door, the smell of herbs and warm blankets hit me. It was comforting. Safe.My mother was sitting on the edge of the bed, gently rocking my daughter in her arms. The baby was wrapped in a soft pink blanket, her tiny hands peeking out now and then as she stirred.“Hey,” I whispered, walking in slowly.Mom looked up at me. Her face was tired, but there was a soft smile tugging at her lips. “She just finished feeding,” she said quietly, “She’s sleepy now.”I sat down beside her, brushing my fingers gently over the baby’s cheek. Her skin was so soft. So warm. It made my heart ache in ways I couldn’t explain.“Thank you for taking care of her,” I said softly, watching the little rise and fall of her chest. She looked so peaceful.“You don’t have to thank me, Sierra,” Mom said, glancing
SIERRAI paced the room, my mind racing as I tried to figure out the best way to explain everything to my mother. The weight of the situation felt heavier than ever, and every thought in my head seemed tangled, impossible to unravel. The fear for my sister still twisted in my chest, and the knowledge that Ariel had somehow gained control over us, over me, made me feel more helpless than I ever had before.Mom sat in front of me, her expression filled with worry. I could see how badly she wanted answers, but there was no way around it. I had to tell her.“It’s... It’s Ariel,” I started, the words coming out slowly, like I had to convince myself first. “She’s been controlling everything from the start. She put this spell on my sister, and now... now, I can’t stop it. Not until I undo whatever she’s done.”My mother’s face drained of color as she listened, her hand trembling slightly as it rested in her lap. I couldn’t bear to see her like this, so broken by the weight of what was happen
SIERRAWe walked in silence, the weight of the last few hours hanging heavy on me. My arms were still shaking from holding back every instinct I had to strangle Ariel right then and there. The image of my baby sister, struggling to breathe, haunted my mind like a twisted nightmare that wouldn’t go away. My hands were clenched into fists at my sides as I tried to suppress the anger bubbling inside me.Ariel’s voice broke the silence, sharp and taunting, as usual.“There’s no point in taking me,” she said, her tone too casual for my liking. “You should just leave me here. You’re too soft to kill me, Sierra. I know you won’t.”I wanted to snap at her, to yell at her for every vile thing she’d done. But I couldn’t. Not now. Not when my sister’s life was still hanging in the balance.“You’re right,” I said through gritted teeth, trying to hold onto the calmness I was barely clinging to. “I’m not going to kill you. Not yet.”Ariel smirked, clearly pleased with my words, like she was somehow
SIERRAI tightened my grip on Ariel’s neck, all the pain and anger boiling over like a pot I could no longer control. My hands were shaking, but I didn’t care. I wanted to hurt her. I needed her to feel it. I needed her to understand what she had done to us, to me.“You think this is a game?” I growled, leaning in, pressing harder, feeling her pulse flutter under my fingertips. “ What did you do to my sister?”Ariel’s eyes bulged slightly from the pressure, her face flushing red, but her lips still curled into a smug little smirk. How could she still be smiling? Even now? Even when I could easily snap her neck?“Relax,” she rasped, voice thin and scratchy, but somehow still full of mockery. “If you like your sister… you’ll let me go.”My brows furrowed. “What?” I blinked, confused. What was she talking about?Then I heard it.A tiny, gasping sound cut through the air. A sharp, shallow breath, too fragile, too faint. I turned my head sharply and saw Kane staring down in horror. His arm
