SIERRASlowly, my eyes drifted open, my vision blurred as a glass from the broken windscreen pierced deep into my flesh as blood gushed out nonstop. I could recall my argument with Kane and the next thing I knew, I was sitting upside down deep in the woods. I tried turning to my side but the pain in my neck made it impossible. "Kane?" I called but there was no answer.My legs were stuck in the air and my breathing came out in gasps."Kan.." my voice trailed off as I became groggy.But still no answer, ignoring the pain in my neck, I turned to the driver's seat, the door was still locked but he wasn't there in his seat. My eyes landed on the wide gap in the windscreen, and horror filled my being, I kept shaking my head hoping and praying that I was wrong. In a panic, my fingers struggled to find the doorknob, finding parts of an already damaged car that was turned upside down was not an easy task.After several attempts, I managed to find it, I pulled at it but the door didn't budge.
KANESierra released a gasp and I sent her a look, quickly her hands went to her mouth as she slammed it shut. "Sorry." She mouthed.The sounds of boots matching around the small cottage filled my ears, I tried to pick up any familiar smell but all I could perceive was stale sweat from the bodies of dirty men.From the sounds of their boots, as they tried to step on dried leaves and branches without alerting anyone, I could tell that they were well-trained. But despite their efforts, I could still hear their movements loud and clear, thanks to my heightened hearing. "Why do you think they are here?" Sierra's warm lips touched the skin in my ear as she whispered. She was leaning towards me while standing on her toes. I wanted to tell her to shut the hell up, but as my eyes met hers, I fell silent, her eyes were wide with curiosity and I could see the fear in them."I have no idea, but we'll find out soon," I replied in hushed tones.She nodded and remained silent for a minute."What
SIERRAI wrapped my arms tightly around Kane's neck as he devoured my lips, I could feel his claws graze my back slightly as his hands roamed all over my body. His wolf was threatening to come out.His hands went underneath my bum and pulled me up so that I straddled him as we stood. I could feel his groin getting hard as we kissed.Slowly, our lips parted but his arms still held me tight and my legs wrapped around him, pulling him close.Feeling naughty I grinned as I moved my hips seductively humping him in the process. His eyes lifted to me in surprise."What are you doing?" He asked with a small smile playing on his lips."This." I leaned towards him with mischief swimming obviously in my eyes as I leaned down and placed my lips on his, just as he parted his lips to deepen the kiss, I pulled away laughing."Don't you tease me, Sierra," He drawled moving in to steal a kiss and that instant, I sent him another hump and he groaned closing his eyes.His hand moved around my neck pulli
SIERRAI swallowed hard as my eyes blinked continuously, the hair at the back of my neck stood tall. Kane grunted without taking his eyes off Kol who took a step back on hearing the voice of the man."I asked a question young men, what is the reason for exchanging such angry words this bright morning?" He asked, I could feel his steps approaching faster than I wanted. My fingers trembled as the second ticked by. "It's nothing serious," Kane muttered looking away. Kol threw a sideways glance at Kane with his brows raised.The man laughed heartily as he walked closer to us, I buried my nails in my flesh to ease the panic brewing in my stomach. "It seems you boys are having a scuffle because of this young lady." The voice sent thorns into my heart, piercing it as he drew nearer till he stood behind me. I had to turn, I knew I could turn my back to him for so long because it would likely raise his suspicions but I had to regain my composure, I couldn't face him with fear playing all
TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ SIERRAHis voice resounded in my head over and over again, he knew who I was, he knew my shameful past and he was here like the devil ready to drag me to hell.My hands trembled uncontrollably so I hid them behind me. There was no way I was going to let him think he knew me.I would never agree that the little girl who stood shamefully while she was being priced, with dirty clothes on her skin was me. If he was going to play this card, I would be doomed to let him win. "Hello Alpha Gerald, if I'm not mistaken, we were just introduced." I sent him my best smile hoping he would be too dumb to perceive the fear that sipped out through my skin pores. "So yes, you know I'm King Thane's daughter." Alpha Gerald's lips curled up in a sneaky smile.Old fox. I held myself from spitting on his face, it wouldn't do me any good to claw my fingers on his face in his royal chambers, not when Kane was still here. "You know what I mean Sierra," he said in a drawl walking closer
KANE"This is old Robbs, he was present when the rogue attacked," Kol said, gesturing to a hairy man who stood with his back hunched towards the earth.After discussing with the Alpha, Kol's father, Kol mentioned that several eyewitnesses had seen the rogues’ attacks. We walked down into the pack streets to meet the witnesses.I held out my hand to the old man, he looked as though he was in his 80s. "It's nice to meet you, Robbs."Old Robbs stared up at me with his eyes sunken in, "Who are you child?" He asked in a hushed whisper.Kol sent me an awkward smile, "He is like this at times." He turned to the old man leaning down towards him. "Robbs, this is the Lycan King's son, he is here to ask what you saw the other day." Old Robbs suddenly dropped to his knees leaving us in shock as we all stared at him. "Oh, Lycan King, Long may you reign." All eyes turned to me. "The Lycan King is my father, you may rise now." I said ignoring the eyes on me.Old Robbs struggled to his feet and Kol
SIERRASuddenly, the day turned gloomy and the birds stopped whistling as the realization of what Kane had done dawned on us. My body still trembled as I stared at the two men before me. When Kane had sliced off Alpha Gerald's head, his blood had soiled my already torn dress. Kane's face held a shock, he never expected it to be the Alpha, his eyes moved from the Alpha's dead body to Kol's emotionless face."Kol," Kane called softly, taking a step towards him but Kol moved back. My breathing turned shallow, I witnessed how these guys had accepted themselves and how pure their friendship was, seeing them right now broke my heart."You could have controlled yourself." Came Kol's calm voice which made me tremble even more in fear."Try to understand, Sierra was in danger so I had to step in." "Danger?" Kol's laughter was dry and void of every emotion. "And now he's gone." He whispered, still staring at his father's lifeless body.Kane swallowed, "I was only
SIERRAKane's face was twisted in pain as the chains tightened around him. The pain I felt earlier was gone, my legs felt energized as I ran towards Kane. He couldn't move, I expected him to break through the chains but he lay there hopeless, howling painfully."Kane!" I screamed trying to yank at the chains but my hands burned making me step back. It was wolfbane, the chains were heavily laced in wolfbane, and the smell of it choked me, leaving me in a coughing fit.The chains were pulled away from me and went deeper into the forest, Kane was dragged on the ground ruthlessly.His skin where the silver chains held him was burnt, and the wolfbane weakened him even more.I glanced around looking for the attackers or anything I could use to help him. My eyes landed on a stick lying close by, it was useless but it was better than nothing.Snatching it up, I ran towards Kane. I hit the chain continuously but it was useless, I couldn't even make a dent. What was I even thinking?Using a
SIERRAZane dropped to a limp, blood dripping from the wound. My heart stopped."N... no, no.. it can't be," I muttered dropping the stones in my hands as I walked towards Zane.His eyes were closed, and the blood had formed a map on his shirt. The shirt was torn in different places. The rogues on seeing Zane who had been taking them out like a killing machine on a spree had fallen to the ground they approached him ready to take him out fully."This looks like fun." Alpha Harold chuckled. The sound of him giggling fueled my rage, Zane was gravely wounded because of me and all he could was it looked fun to him.Psychopath."Kill the boy and bring that insolent girl to me." Alpha Harold ordered from where he sat.The rogues gladly took the order personally as they walked around Zane's wounded body."Stop! Don't you dare touch him!” I screamed pushing against the rogues so I could reach him."You stupid bitch!" One of them snarled holding my hair, I could almost hear my hair ripping out
SIERRAWithout holding back, I jumped towards him with my claws exposed in the air."Sierra! Watch out!" It was a little too late when I heard Zane's warning. A rogue had jumped at me, he came from the side, and his claws grazed my side.I moved out of his grasp, wanting to sink my claws into his neck but my claws had vanished.What's happening Rieka? I asked but there was nothing, I couldn't hear her voice in my head and she was refusing to come out.My eyes landed on the rogue above me, I moved out of the way just in time to avoid a blow aimed at my head. My leg was caught in between some plants making me fall face flat on the ground."So much for giving me the last chance." Alpha Harold laughed, "Get me the girl." He ordered."You better be kidding." Zane snapped, "You're only leaving with her over my dead body." Zane snarled, He shifted halfway, reaching for the rogue nearest to him.He grabbed him by the neck tearing him apart with his bare hands. The rogues stopped for a minute
SIERRAAs soon as the words left my mouth, Alpha Harold's face turned red in anger, his hands trembled angrily by his sides, and he gripped the hand of his chair tightly."Guards!" His voice echoed around the house.The door opened and harmed warriors allowed themselves in, "Yes Alpha.""Arrest those two brats, throw them in the worst cell in the entire pack, we need to teach these rats some manners." He shouted.I frowned.Rats?He sure had guts, after what he had done, he had the effrontery to speak down at us and call us names. Anger began to boil inside me, I had given him the chance to come clean and apologize sincerely but he had chosen a different path, one that I didn't want to trod.The warriors bowed to him, "Yes Alpha." They chorused marching towards us."Step back," I muttered as they drew closer.They exchanged amused glances, properly thinking I was not in my right state of mind. They kept approaching."Don't say I didn't warn you," I said moving backward, I didn't want
SIERRAZane's face changed, "what do you mean by that?" He asked.I took in a deep breath, "There's a traitor, he's deeply connected with the rogues' attack at the palace today.""Are you certain about this?" He asked looking confused."Yes, I am," I replied wanting to move forward but was stopped once again by Zane."If there's a traitor as you said, is Dad aware?" He asked.I nodded, "he was the first person I told when I found out." I answered."You told him who the person is?" He asked.I shook my head, "No."Zane closed his eyes for a second, "Why haven't you told Dad about it?" He asked.I was getting tired of his questions already but I had no choice, I needed to speak to him so I could be on my way as fast as possible before anyone back home would notice I was gone."There are some things I need to check first, I need to speak to him before telling Thane," I replied."What has that got to do with meeting Gerald?" He asked, as soon as he asked, His eyes widened, and he grabbed
SIERRAThe front door opened, and the sound of heavy footsteps filled my ears as they climbed up the stairs."That sounds like Thane." Mom said getting up from the bed."We still need to be careful, who knows, the rogues might still be out there," I said standing before her to stop her from leaving. We needed to be extra careful.She smiled, "I can tell it's Thane from a mile away." She insisted."Who knows, maybe rogues now steal appearances, I'm going to keep you safe till I'm sure it's him," I replied.She shook her head but remained seated.A knock sounded on the door, "Maya?" Thane called, "Dear, are you in there?" He asked. We had moved into her room since she was finding the blood disgusting and the smell of the rogue made her nauseous.Mom stared at me with eyes that screamed, 'I told you so.'"Yes, she is," I answered opening the door halfway.It indeed was Thane, he was standing outside with clean clothes, I was expecting him to be bloody since he was coming from the battlef
SIERRA"Hear ye, good people of this great land, our dearly beloved King is holding a banquet this evening to bring his people together, there will be lots of food and drinks for everyone!"I could hear the voice of the messenger from the third floor, he was delivering Thane's message to the people. There was excitement in the air as we began to prepare for the banquet, it was a means of bringing the people of different clans together and helping improve our relationship.The entire house was bustling with activity, the maids were in the kitchen preparing food while the male servants were busy with the decorations of the royal mansion."Sierra!" My mother called from downstairs, "The designer is here with your dress.""I'm coming!" I replied running downstairs, I wasn't left out of the excitement, it was one of the very first parties hosted by Thane that I would be attending, not just as a guest but as the family of the host."Hello, Miss Sierra." The maid greeted me with a smile on h
THANE"How is my wife doing?" I asked the doctor immediately he came out of the patient's room with some samples to run tests on her."I believe you're her guardian." He said adjusting his glasses."Yes, Yes I am," I replied nodding my head, I was so shaken when Maya had fainted back there in the woods, I didn't wait for Alpha Harold to get a car ready, I picked her up on my back and then raced for the hospital. I was able to locate one thanks to the servant Harold had sent after me."You can go in now, the samples will be sent to a lab to determine what is wrong with her." The doctor replied."Will she be alright?" I asked, I needed his response to ease the growing panic in my chest."Yes, I don't think it's anything serious though." He explained."I see," I replied."You can go in now, she's awake." He said pushing the curtains away."Thank you, doctor," I said hurrying inside.Maya was lying on the bed and a drip connected to her hand, her eyes were closed but I could tell that she
SIERRAIt was approaching fast.This was it, we were going to die in an unknown land.Particles of sand entered my eyes making me blink rapidly. Gerald closed his eyes, the sand was way up to his mouth level, I glanced at the other side, the triplets too were almost covered. Was this the end?I closed my eyes waiting for the storm to swallow us whole. The sound of the whirlwind howled in my ears like the sounds of thousands of restless spirits.I could hear the boys take in huge breaths, they were preparing for the end. Hot tears stung at the back of my eyes, I would never get to see my mom again. Their pants filled my ears, this would be the last I'd hear it, the sound of my mate's breathing.My eyes opened slowly to stare at their faces, their eyes were closed in anticipation. It was then I noticed, the storm had gone, the wind was calm, it was as though there was never a sandstorm coming.Strange.What was happening?I turned trying to free myself from the huge pile of sand holding
SIERRA"Guys!" I called but their voices swallowed mine as they went on with the argument.The sand swallowed my feet, I tried pulling it out but it was impossible, It held me down tightly but the boys were too occupied in their argument to notice that the sand had gotten up to their ankles."Guys stop it please." I pleaded but all to no avail."Woah, I see it's three against one now right?" Gerald was shouting, gone was the calm and peaceful demeanor I was used to seeing."That doesn't matter, One of us can take down a hundred of you." Zane shot back angrily."Will you guys fucking stop it already!" I screamed at the top of my voice.They stopped turning to stare at me in shock, they'd probably never heard me scream before."Screaming at each other should be the last thing on your minds right now," I said panting hard, they kept staring at me."You are so preoccupied with the need to tear each other's throats that you can't realize what's happening," I said staring at my stuck feet.
