SIERRAMy heart stopped as my eyes landed on the frightened maid standing by the door staring at the four of us in shock. I wasn't surprised at her reaction, anyone who walked in on three brothers being intimate with someone who was supposed to be their sister would react in that same manner. Before I could muster a word, the boys were already at the door. Dane held his hand over her mouth shutting her up. Kane kicked the door closed while Zane placed his hands over her head."What are you guys doing?" I whispered and yelled at them.They closed their eyes as they surrounded the young girl who stood quivering.This was becoming ridiculous, I couldn't help but stare at them in curiosity. The maid's eyes drifted to me, they were filled with panic, she averted her gaze back to Zane who stood before her with his hands on her head. They fluttered shut as though she was about to pass out."What are you guys doing?" I asked again wrapping the bed sheet over my naked body. "Wiping them out
ZANEJust as I raised my head to kiss Sierra, I was met with her closed eyes. Thinking she was just closing them out of pleasure, I pressed a kiss on her breast but she didn't budge."Did she just pass out?" I asked feeling confused as I gazed at her."Sierra!" I called but there was no answer."Don't tell me she fainted?" Dane and Kane said in unison as we stared at her closed eyes. Her face looked peaceful despite the sweat on her face. She looked as though she was well fucked. I smirked as I couldn't help but watch her in amazement. Sierra was one of a kind, who passed out just because of pleasure.Kane got up from the bed, he glanced around the room for his trousers and Dane did the same."Are you sure she's fine?" I asked watching her. Her breathing was so low that it could barely be heard, but her chest heaved up and down making her soft boobs raise up and down at her inhale and exhale of breath."She looks fine." Dane commented placing his hand underneath her nose, "She's sti
KANEMy eyes rested on Zane's face, he couldn't deny that he had been caught, he and Maya had been busy creating secrets behind my father's back. He might have tried to hide it but Maya hadn't been discreet enough, she had no idea that we were in the bathroom. Zane, ignoring us, walked towards the bed where Sierra lay. I stopped him by grabbing him by the arm."What was that all about?" I asked trying not to sound too controlling or angry.Zane shrugged off my hand as though he was disgusted by my hold. "It's nothing." He muttered making me scoff in disbelief."Nothing?" I asked trying to keep my voice low and my anger in check."Yes, it's nothing." He replied diverting his movements as he walked towards Sierra's dressing table. "We heard everything she said, what was it all about?" Dane asked standing beside me.What was it that Maya and Sierra were hiding? Zane too must have discovered it but he was tight-lipped, he would rather remain silent than reveal what it was.How bad was
THANE"What is that you just said?" I asked, stunned at Kane's outburst. Zane sighed before looking away with his fingers lacing through his silky hair.The boys remained silent avoiding my gaze. "I will take it that you're just throwing childish tantrums as a result of late puberty," I said, choosing to ignore them."Don't mind him, Dad," Dane said laughing nervously. "What are you-" Kane began but was cut off by Zane's hands slamming over his mouth. "I think he ate a little too much." Zane laughed nervously."Aff.. tuu.. oomph!" Kane kept trying to speak but his brothers were not giving him a chance."Have a nice day Dad, I think Kane needs to res- ouch!" Zane sent Kane a look holding his bitten hand to his chest.I raised my brows at their exchange. For some reason best known to them, they were acting weird. "I'm fine really." Zane grinned, showing me his palm, "He was practicing how to scratch." He laughed nervously.Kane began, "Dad, you need t-" This time it was Dane that
MAYA"Who might that be?" Thane mumbled as he got up from the chair. Approaching footsteps reached my ears as the visitor drew near."Our very own Lycan King." A voice called from outside the chambers.I felt all the hairs stand tall on my body as the familiar voice rang into my ears. What was he doing here? How on earth did he find me?My breathing stilled as the memories of what he had put me through flooded my mind. I wanted nothing more than to run away from here before he arrived but my legs refused to move, I sat with my feet rooted in one spot. Thane sat tall on the throne as he waited patiently for the visitor to arrive. My hands trembled uncontrollably as the footsteps approached. I wanted to hold Thane and beg him never to open the door, I wanted to tell him to ignore the beast that came visiting but I couldn't, I sat still like a statue in fright as I watched the door pulled open by the guard standing outside.I swallowed hard as the face of the man I spent my nights p
SIERRAThose two words brought fear to my heart, I didn't need to ask who because there was only one person who could make my mom quiver in fear. It wasn't even Beta Orion, it was only Alpha Elvis that could."Mom, calm down," I muttered struggling to get up from the bed. She tried her best to stop shaking but she couldn't. Her whole body trembled while she tried to speak. I wrapped my arms around her in a bid to calm her down.A series of thoughts ran through my head as I tried to process the whole situation, what was Alpha Elvis doing here? How did he find us?I shook my head, that wasn't even supposed to be a bone of contention, Beta Orion knew where we were so it was only a matter of seconds before he told his master. If Alpha Elvis was here, then he must've already met Thane. Judging from the way my mom was trembling, something must have happened while I was asleep. Mom hated anything that had to do with Alpha Elvis, he had traumatized her so that she didn't want to hear the s
SIERRAAfter staying at home for what seemed like forever, Thane decided that it was time we resumed school.That morning, I woke up having mixed feelings, it seemed like ages since I had been in school but I missed Hailey, and the thought of seeing her sent me to the bathroom in a hurry. After taking my bath, I hurried over to my wardrobe to select my outfit for the day. I stared at the jeans I had picked out earlier with dissatisfaction. I wanted to dress like a girly girl so I returned the jeans and then picked out a dress. It was a flowery knee-length gown, its brown color complimented my skin giving me a princess kind of look. Standing before my mirror, I twirled grinning with satisfaction at what I saw. I slid into my shoes before picking up my bag and books."I see someone is excited to go to school today." My head shot towards the direction of the voice, my mother stood at the door with a smile on her face."I'm not excited to go to school, I just want to see Hailey, it's be
SIERRAI released a painful growl as my eyes opened, I was back in the library lying on the bare floor with water drenching my dress. "Sierra!" Hailey's eyes looked panicked as she fused over me. "Thank goodness, you're awake." She muttered as her shoulders slumped down in relief."Who on earth spills water in the library without informing the cleaners?" Hailey shouted ignoring the decorum ethic that surrounded the library rules and regulations."I'm okay now," I grumbled trying to stand up. Hailey held out a hand which I took gratefully. As soon as I stood on my feet, the gazes of the students in the library feasted on me. "Ignore them." Hailey said picking up her bag, "News spread immediately after you fell, they ran over here to find out what had happened." She explained not bothering to look at the faces that were staring. "Freak!" A boy shouted from the other end of the library.I kept my head down as I walked with Hailey while we headed out of the library. "They pry on peop
SIERRAWe stepped inside the room and shut the door behind us. My mom was still crying, her shoulders shaking like her whole world was crumbling.“Mom…” I whispered, going to her.She turned and pulled me into a hug so tight, I could barely breathe. “I can’t lose you too,” she sobbed. “I can’t. I’m not strong enough.”“I’ll be back,” I told her, my voice shaky. “I promise you, I’ll come back.”But her tears wouldn’t stop.Alpha Thane walked in and saw her falling apart. Without a word, he came over, gently took her hand, and led her away. She kept looking back at me like I was already a ghost.The door clicked shut behind them. Silence filled the room.I stood there, numb. “Why is it always like this?” I whispered. “Every time I come around… someone gets hurt, something breaks. It’s like I ruin everything.”“Stop,” Zane said, stepping forward.“You don’t ruin anything,” Kane added.“You bring the storm, but you also bring the light after it,” Dane said softly. “You’re not the problem,
SIERRA"I hear her. I swear I hear her."Zane turned to me slowly, his brows pinched like he was scared of what I might say next. "Sierra, who?""Ariel." My voice cracked, barely a whisper by the time it left my mouth. "She’s talking to me. In my head."Dane stepped closer, his frown deepening. "Are you sure?""Yes," I said quickly, too quickly. My heart was racing. "She’s mocking me. Laughing. Saying I failed. Over and over again. It’s her. I know her voice. I know it."Kane’s eyes narrowed as he looked at me, then exchanged glances with the others. "Sierra, nobody else hears anything.""It doesn’t matter," I said, gripping my arms tight as if I could hold myself together with just my fingers. "I do."Zane took a small step toward me, reaching out like I was a wild animal. "You’ve been through a lot. Your mind’s just…""I’m not crazy!" I shouted, my voice rising high and sharp.Silence dropped like a stone.No one spoke.No one breathed.Tears burned behind my eyes but I blinked them
SIERRAI stood there, the weight of everything pressing down on me. The garden, once so peaceful, felt suffocating now. The smell of the flowers wasn’t enough to mask the sour, bitter taste in the back of my throat. I tried to swallow it down, but it wouldn’t go away. Nothing seemed to.I could hear the distant sound of footsteps, the crunch of gravel under heavy boots. The wolf troopers had returned. My heart skipped, hope rising in my chest. Maybe…just maybe, there was news, something that would make sense of everything. But when Kane and the others came into view, their faces said it all.Nothing.Not a single trace of her scent.I felt my stomach drop."Where is she?" I asked, barely able to get the words out. My voice cracked, betraying the tears I was desperately holding back.Kane’s face was grim, his jaw tight. He didn’t even look at me. He just shook his head. “Gone. It’s like she vanished.”I didn’t know what to say. How could I? What was there to say? Ariel had always been
SIERRAI clenched my fists, staring at my mother. She hadn’t stopped crying. Not for a second. No matter what I said, no matter what Alpha Thane said, she just kept sobbing like the world had shattered beneath her feet.“Mom, please,” I whispered, kneeling beside her. “We’ll find her. Kane and the others are already tracking her scent.”She didn’t answer. Didn’t even blink. Just rocked back and forth, her hands gripping the fabric of her dress like it was the only thing keeping her together. Her breaths came in sharp gasps, her shoulders shaking with the weight of her grief.I reached for her hand, my fingers barely brushing hers. “Mom…”She flinched away.Like I burned her.I pulled back, my throat tightening.Alpha Thane stepped closer, his expression hard, unreadable. “She won’t hear you, Sierra.”I turned to him, desperate. “She has to. I can’t just…” I gestured helplessly. “I can’t just leave her like this.”“She’s already gone,” he muttered.I shook my head. “No. She’s just…” I
SIERRAI gasped as my eyes flew open, my body jerking upright. My chest felt like it was caving in, my throat raw like I had been screaming for hours. The room was dark, the air thick with something I couldn’t name. My hands trembled as I clutched at the sheets, trying to ground myself, trying to make sense of where I was.“Sierra!”Hands gripped my arms, firm, steady, holding me in place like I might collapse at any second. My head snapped toward the voices. Zane. Kane. Dane. All of them hovering over me, eyes filled with worry, their faces tense. The warmth of their touch should have reassured me, but it only made the panic claw deeper into my chest.“What’s wrong?” Dane’s voice was sharp, demanding, like he needed to know immediately.“You screamed,” Kane added, his grip on me tightening. His jaw was clenched, his brows furrowed. “You scared the hell out of us.”I tried to swallow, but my throat was too dry. My breaths came in short, uneven gasps. My heart pounded so hard it hurt,
SIERRAI blinked.Once.Twice.The ceiling above me wasn’t familiar. The walls were different. Everything was different.I sat up fast, my heart slamming against my ribs.Where the hell was I?The air was thick, pressing against my skin like invisible hands. Heavy. Unnatural. It clung to me, making it hard to breathe. I swallowed, forcing myself to stay calm.The room was dim, the light coming from… nowhere. No lamps, no windows, but still, a glow. Faint. Cold. My fingers curled into the sheets beneath me, silk. Soft, too soft. It sent a chill through me. This wasn’t my bed. This wasn’t my room.I turned my head, scanning the space. Large. Empty. The walls stretched endlessly, shifting between deep blue and silver, almost like they were alive, moving, breathing. The air hummed with something ancient, something powerful. My stomach twisted.Nothing made sense.And then I saw her.Standing in the corner, silent.A presence too strong to be ignored.Silver hair cascaded down her back, sh
SIERRAThe second I stepped inside, I froze.Blood. So much blood. It stained the floor, the walls, the furniture. The smell of it, thick, metallic hung in the air, making my stomach turn. My heart pounded as my eyes darted to my friends, their faces pale, their clothes splattered in red.“What the hell happened here?” My voice came out sharp, urgent.Kane wiped a hand down his face, smearing red across his cheek. “Sierra…”I looked at Zane, then Dane. They all looked shaken.“Someone tell me what happened,” I demanded.Dane swallowed hard. “Astrid came.”I frowned. “What?”Zane exhaled, rubbing his temples. “She showed up out of nowhere. She was bleeding, barely able to stand. She tried to talk, but…”“She exploded,” Kane finished, his voice flat.I blinked. “She what?”They all exchanged glances, like they weren’t sure how to say it again. Like somehow, saying it out loud would make it more real.Dane cleared his throat, rubbing the back of his neck. “She… exploded. Like, literally.
KANE“Hurry up, Dane! That banner looks like it’s about to fall.”Dane grumbled as he adjusted the string, his fingers fumbling with the knot. “If you’re so concerned, do it yourself.”I rolled my eyes. “I would, but someone has to make sure the cake doesn’t end up on the floor like last time.”Zane snorted from across the room as he stacked plates on the table. “That was one time. Let it go.”“One time was enough,” I shot back, giving him a pointed look. “Sierra nearly cried.”Alpha Thane chuckled as he set down a crate of drinks. “I can’t believe you boys planned all this. Sierra’s going to love it.”I smiled, glancing around the room. Balloons, streamers, and twinkling lights covered the walls. A table was stacked with gifts, food, and an enormous cake that, this time, was safely positioned far from the edges.“She deserves it,” I said. “She’s been through too much.”Dane climbed down from the chair, wiping his hands. “Yeah, and she never asks for anything in return. This is the le
SIERRAI blinked. The room was spinning, and my body was heavy like I had been dragged through a storm. My throat was dry, and my head ached like I had been fighting in my sleep.Voices. So many voices.“Sierra?”I turned my head, confused by the way everyone was looking at me, worried, scared, relieved. “What?” My voice came out rough. “What’s wrong?”Dane stepped forward first. “Is it…you?”I frowned. “What the hell does that mean?”Kane let out a breath. “Your wolf took over.”I stared at him. “What?”“You weren’t here, Sierra,” my mom said gently. “Your wolf spoke to us.”A shiver ran down my spine. “She… spoke?”Zane nodded. “Yeah. She said you’re different. That you need help.”I pressed a hand to my temple. My head was pounding. “I don’t understand.”“You don’t remember?” Kane asked.I shook my head. “No. I just… I woke up, and now you’re all looking at me like I died or something.”My mom touched my face, her warm hands grounding me. “You scared us.”I swallowed, my chest tigh
