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
THANE"What the fuck!" Zane exclaimed from the back of the car. If it were under normal circumstances, I would have told him to mind his language but I couldn't find the courage to mutter the words. The sight before us was unbelievable, the village was burnt to the ground and thick black smoke filled the air."Don't tell me that this was what we perceived back?" Dane said in a voice deeply laced with unbelief."I think so," I replied, trying to compose myself. "What on earth happened here?" I muttered looking for a spot to park my car. There was no person or wolf in sight, everything was burnt, the houses, trees, and even the cars. After finding a suitable spot that was free from fire and smoke, I parked the car and the boys climbed down.Earlier, the boys had told me that Kane was in some kind of trouble with Sierra, he had tried calling me but I had left my phone in my study. When I heard what had happened, we tried calling his mobile but it wasn't reachable, after some time, it
SIERRAI tightened my grip on the edge of my chair, watching as the old woman’s face darkened. Her fingers, which had been lightly tracing the rim of her teacup, suddenly went still. A heavy silence filled the room.“Whispering?” she repeated, her voice sharp. “Controlling minds?”I nodded. “Yes. It’s been happening for a while now.”She exhaled slowly, her eyes narrowing in deep thought. “That means their strength has grown… But how?”I swallowed hard, my mind racing. “They’ve been trapped in that cave all this time. There’s no way they could’ve fed on anyone.”The woman drummed her fingers against the wooden table, her expression unreadable. “Then something, or someone, is feeding their power,” she murmured.A shiver ran down my spine. The idea of those monsters getting stronger despite being locked away made my stomach churn. “But how is that possible?”She sighed. “Magic has loopholes, child. Nothing is ever completely sealed away. If they can reach minds beyond their prison, that
SIERRAI stared at the old woman, my heart pounding. Her words made no sense, yet something about them felt strangely familiar.“You bloody fools always refusing to die and getting old,” she had said, smiling at me like she knew me.I exchanged glances with Alpha Thane and the others before stepping inside. The house smelled of herbs and old wood, a cozy yet mysterious scent. The woman moved slowly, but her presence was powerful. She led us into a small sitting room where a fireplace crackled softly.“Sit,” she said, waving her hand toward the chairs. “I’ll get some tea.”I hesitated but nodded, settling into a worn-out chair. Alpha Thane and the boys followed, their eyes scanning the room. There were shelves filled with books, jars of strange ingredients, and old photographs scattered across a wooden table. Everything about this place felt ancient.The woman returned with a tray of teacups, setting it down gently on the small wooden table in front of us. The scent of herbs filled the
SIERRAI couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The girl from the group was holding up an old picture, her fingers brushing the edges like she was proud of it. She looked at it, then back at me, and pointed at the people in the photo.“Do you know them?” she asked, eyes wide with curiosity.I squinted at the photo, my heart racing in my chest. The image was faded, but the faces were clear. There was no mistaking it. They looked exactly like me and the boys.“How... how do you have that picture?” I asked, my voice trembling slightly, despite myself.The girl smiled softly, almost nostalgically. “I found it in my grandmother’s attic. She had all sorts of old things there.”My mind raced as I tried to process this. My ancestors. How could she have something so personal? How did it end up with her family?I glanced at the picture again, studying the faces in more detail. It was strange, but there was something about the way they looked. The men, and the woman, all shared the same features I
SIERRAThe fighting had finally stopped. Everyone was standing still, waiting for me to speak. I could feel all eyes on me, the weight of their expectation pressing on me. My heart was pounding, but I tried to keep my voice steady.“What’s the plan, Sierra?” one of the locals asked, his voice sharp and full of tension. “We can’t just stand here forever.”I glanced at my family, then turned back to the group. “The vampires are allergic to werewolf bites,” I said, keeping my voice low but firm. “It’ll drive them crazy, and eventually, they’ll die. We need to storm the cave and bite as many as we can. That’s the only way to stop them.”The locals exchanged uneasy glances, muttering among themselves. I could see the doubt in their eyes.“You want us to just go into the cave and risk our lives?” another man asked, his voice shaking with fear. “These vampires are strong, Sierra. They’re not like anything we’ve dealt with before.”I shook my head, my gaze hardening. “They’re not as strong as
SIERRAThe moment we entered the small town, the atmosphere felt thick with tension. The locals eyed us warily, their gazes flickering between me and the Lycan King, Alpha Thane. I could feel their suspicion, their fear. It was clear they didn’t want any trouble, and the sight of my family, especially Thane, seemed to make them even more uneasy.“I can feel their eyes on us,” I muttered under my breath, glancing at Alpha Thane. His expression was unreadable, though I knew he was aware of the hostility too.“We’re not here to cause trouble,” Alpha Thane said, his voice calm but firm. “We just need to talk to them.”But the moment we walked deeper into town, the murmurs from the locals grew louder. Some of them were already retreating into their homes, their doors closing with a soft but swift thud. Others stood, watching us from a distance, with angry eyes. They didn’t want to be involved. They didn’t want to see us here, especially not with Alpha Thane at my side.“I knew this was a b
SIERRAI sat with Dane, Kane, and Zane in the living room, feeling the tension in the air. We had been waiting for Alpha Thane to return for what felt like hours, and the longer it took, the more anxious I became. My thoughts kept drifting to the mission ahead. We were going into dangerous territory, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something could go wrong.Dane glanced over at me, concern written on his face. “You okay, Sierra?”I gave him a forced smile, but I knew it wasn’t convincing. “Yeah, just thinking.”“You sure?” Kane asked, his tone soft. “You’ve been quiet. Something’s on your mind?”I nodded, but I could feel my stomach knotting. “Just... wondering what’s taking Dad so long. He’s usually faster with this kind of thing.”“They probably got held up,” Zane said, shrugging. “You know how Dad is, sometimes he likes to take his time with things.”“Yeah, but this feels different,” I muttered. “We have a dangerous mission ahead of us, and I just don’t know if I’m ready to l
MAYAI woke up with a jolt, my heart racing, and my breath shallow. The dark room felt unfamiliar at first, and I was overwhelmed with fear, my mind clouded with panic. My thoughts were all over the place until I turned my head and saw the soft, rhythmic rise and fall of Kiara’s chest beside me.Her tiny form was sleeping soundly next to me, her small hand curled around the edge of my blanket. My heart settled a little as I stared at her. She was fine. Everything was fine.I breathed in deeply, trying to calm myself. The fear slowly faded as I began to remember everything. The vampire attack, the fight, the confusion… But now, there was peace. The evil thoughts I’d been plagued with were gone, and I could think clearly for the first time in what felt like forever.I heard Thane’s voice behind me, soft but filled with concern. “Maya, it’s okay. Calm down.”I stiffened slightly, but then I saw him. He was standing in the doorway, watching me with that same calm, steady expression he alw
SIERRAI watched Mom disappear into the woods, Alpha Thane right behind her. I could feel the weight of the situation pressing down on me, but I couldn’t let it overwhelm me. My mother was struggling, feeling lost, and I knew the only way to bring her back was to get Kiara back to her.I looked at the boys, all standing around me, trying to make sense of what was going on. Dane spoke up, concern written all over his face. “Do you think she’ll be okay?”I shook my head, feeling a lump form in my throat. “I don’t know. But I do know we need to get Kiara back to her.”Kane stepped forward. “What about the rogues? What if they attack again?”I nodded toward the woods where Mom had gone. “I know. But we can’t lose sight of the bigger picture. Kiara is the key. She’s the one thing that can bring her mother back. We need to make sure she’s safe.”“Stay back. Let her fight it out,” Thane’s voice rang through the trees, pulling me out of my thoughts.I frowned, glancing around at the boys. “Wh
MAYAThe wind had been sharp against my skin as I ran through the woods, my feet pounding the earth, my breath ragged and fast. The trees blurred past me, their branches scratching at my arms and legs, but I barely felt it. I was consumed by the chaos in my mind. I could still hear their voices, those cursed vampires, echoing in my head, forcing their way into my thoughts, twisting everything. My daughter... I almost hurt her. I couldn’t stop replaying the moment over and over, the way I almost lost control, the way they made me feel like I was no longer myself.A wave of anger had built up in me, surging like a storm. I had stopped, thrown my head back, and let out a loud, guttural howl. The sound had torn from my throat, a mix of fury and frustration. It had almost felt like I was trying to shake off the weight of it all. They had no right. No right to do this to me. No right to take over my mind. I should have been stronger. I shouldn’t have let them win.I had paced, my heart raci
