SIERRA My heart broke as I witnessed the scene before me. Kane’s arms wrapped around the blondie’s waist as he kissed her like she was his lifeline. “Sierra,” I heard Zane’s soft voice beside me.I turned to him and frowned when I saw he was giving me tissue. “Wipe your tears,” he said, his voice laced with jealousy. I touched my cheeks and felt the moisture on them. Scowling I took the tissue and dabbed at my face. “Seems my tear ducts are leaking,” I chuckled weakly. Zane sighed, “That’s Kane’s girlfriend. They got back last summer before school resumed. I assumed as you're his mate he would have broken up with her.” I shook my head furiously, “He’s not my mate!” I spat, my voice dripping with venom, “I just have to wait for the blood moon so I’ll be rid of him.”Zane regarded me for some time and then he nodded, “Come here.”He pulled me into his arms and I smiled, inhaling his scent. It made me feel safe but my heart was still burning with anger and pain from Kane’s attitud
SIERRAFor a moment, my heart stopped and my legs refused to move as her claws found their way to my face. She moved so fast that I barely knew when she scratched me all I felt was a small sting on my face."You bitch!" Her eyes were livid with hate and resentment."Claire!" Kane's eyes were angry as he held her back."Let go of me K. I'm going to teach her a lesson so she learns not to mess with me!" She fumed.Claire, What a waste, for a foul-mouthed individual.She lunged towards me again but Kane held her close, stopping her from getting to me. My palm went up to my face where she had scratched me, it stung.Without thinking, my eyes scanned around the cafeteria, every eye was fixed on me, with different emotions on their faces. "Why would you do that?" Zane spat out angrily with his palm knotted tightly in a fist."She was rude to me first." Claire frowned, not minding the look of wrath that was aimed at her."That doesn't give you the damn right to do that to her!" Dane was lo
KANEThe nurse was back and we were in a very compromising position, my arms were wrapped tightly around Sierra's waist pulling her very close to me and my fingers were inside her shirt playing with her bare skin.There was no excuse we could give the nurse that would excuse our erratic display."I asked a question, who's willing to answer?" She asked, folding her arms as she glared at us with a stern expression.Sierra untangled herself from my hold and began to adjust her clothes.If I wasn't so occupied with wanting to stick my tongue down Sierra's throat and wanting nothing more than to show her just how jealous I felt, I shouldn't have ignored the sound of her approach."Do you want to explain to me or would you rather explain better to the principal?" She asked with a raised brow.This was getting tiring."Nothing Miss, we weren't doing anything," Sierra replied with a fake smile on her lips."That didn't seem like ‘nothing’ to me," She said walking towards us. "If it was happen
SIERRAA part of me knew that there was no way on earth that she would let me off the hook easily, not after the way Kane publicly ended their relationship just because she scratched me."Alpha Erin Lowell," Kane whispered under his breath. His voice was hard."Claire," I muttered, staring at the girl holding the huge man by the elbow.She was standing beside him, he must be the Alpha Erin Lowell Kane mentioned. He kept on fuming as his feet tapped almost furiously on the ground. "Come in sweetheart." My mother smiled ushering us into the house.It was then Claire noticed us. She turned to the man tapping him softly on the arm."There she is, father." Oh, she ran home to talk to Daddy when she was the one who had hurt me. But I was surprised that her father had come running just because of a fight that happened in school."Come, Sierra, have a seat,” Thane said, smiling at me. My heart thudded heavily in my chest as I took dreadful steps into the living room."How was school darlin
SIERRA"Pathetic human"Those words kept resounding in my head, tearing every fiber of my heart every time it played. The family watched as Alpha Erin pulled his daughter away from the house into their car and drove away.It shouldn't have hurt, but that was only if indeed I was human. But him knowing fully well that I wasn't, decided to call me not just a human but a pathetic one, broke my heart into tiny bits.Thane turned to face me alongside the rest of the family, Dane and Zane were back from school so they knew what had happened."Sierra, are you alright?" Zane asked, reaching out to me.How would I tell them that I wasn't? That I felt like pulling out my hair and screaming into the wind because I felt pathetic? My eyes became clouded so I bent my head down making sure they couldn't see the tears in my eyes.I said, "Excuse me, I'd like to be alone."With that, I turned away running blindly to my room while trying to keep the tears from dropping."She's not fine right?" I heard
SIERRATurning away from both brothers, I kept the book underneath my arm and then strolled out. That was the best thing to do.Zane was so blinded with jealousy that he didn't want to listen to anything I had to say, even when I had managed to tell him that Dane was just consoling me because I was on the verge of having a breakdown, he snapped at me telling me to stay out of it, since the 'issue" was between him and Dane.Entering my room, I closed the door behind me and then flopped down on my bed. My mother had removed the tear-soaked bed sheets from earlier and had replaced them with new ones. My heart was beating very fast as I lay on my bed. I was having conflicting emotions, first, it was with Zane then I had almost kissed Kane and now, I didn't want Dane to let go of me. I had wild dreams of me giving myself to the three of them but that wasn't making any sense. One day, my heart would beat for Kane, the next day, it was for Zane, and another day, it would beat for Dane! Was
KANEMy eyes scanned through the herds of students flooding in from through the gates in search of one person. Sierra.I hadn't seen her all day since we got to school, and I wanted to make sure that she was doing okay. Claire and her minions were trying to make fun of me all morning by snickering whenever they saw me.They must have thought it would piss me off, but that did nothing to dent my morning. I glanced at them like kittens trying so hard to be loved.That was an offense to kittens though.The treasure hunt was stupid and it should be banned, it was just a way for students to work themselves up over nothing.We all stood in the field while the sports master asked everyone who had a treasure to bring it out. Claire and her minions brought out their implanted treasured gem in a bid to win the teacher's sentiment. The other students, having gotten used to her attention-seeking ass, sighed not giving her any attention."Where did you get this?" The sports master asked and she
ZANEPoisoned?We were too late, I was too late. My eyes scanned the room and rested on her. She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Blood kept on seeping out from the spot where the rogue had clawed her. That bastard!He was lucky Kane got to him before I did."Do something, find the remedy or something!" Kane's voice rose more than normal.The Nurse leaned towards her to inspect the wound. It was a long and very deep gash, the bleeding refused to stop. "Isn't there a remedy for the poison?" I asked.She sighed before looking at me, "There is." "Tell us where to find it," Kane demanded."That is where the issue lies, the poison is one that only certain rogues carry, and in their plains lies the remedy." Her voice was low and hesitant."What is the remedy," I asked.My eyes flickered to Sierra lying unconsciously on the bed. Her eyes were closed and she looked almost lifeless. Her amused face flashed through my mind. I'd do anything to see you on your feet again, Sierra.
SIERRA"What are you doing in my house?"Claire asked me.I raised my brow in question, "What do you mean your house?"I asked in return wondering if Claire had finally gone mad."This mansion now belongs to my father, Alpha Erin."She said smiling as she folded her arms in her bosom proudly."The last I checked, I live here and you know that," I said trying to walk past her. I was tired, hurt, and bruised, I wanted nothing more but to sink inside a warm tub of bath water with roses and lavender soaked in it with my mother standing close to me.Her eyes were fixed on my bloodied head, thankfully, the bite marks had vanished leaving just the cut on my forehead and it was healing gradually."You think I'm kidding, if you don't mind, I can show you the evidence."She said moving an inch so I could take a glimpse inside the house.The inner court was a mess, I could see blood on the ground as though a war had just been fought. I could also perceive it in the air, the smell of fresh blood. My
SIERRAMy throat ached from screaming too much earlier. The snakes were harmless, but I just had to be quiet in a bid to conceal my presence so they wouldn't notice me. My entire body trembled as they glided around me hissing."Seems you made a bond with them so soon witch!" Beta Orion spat not bothering to look at the red bite marks on my skin. I watched silently as he picked them up, placed them inside a basket, covered the lid then took them out. I heaved a sigh of relief as he left, finally a moment of peace.The cut in my head didn't stop bleeding, I could still feel its warm sensation as it trickled down my head. My eyes landed on a piece of clothing lying a few feet away from me, I tried moving towards it but it was impossible with my hands and legs tied together. I only ended up falling on my side. Pain ran through my entire body at the impact caused by the fall.The door creaked open Beta Orion came in.His eyes stared at me hard, "You moved didn't you?" He asked angrily.I
ERINI watched as the dagger meant for arrogant Kane sank deep into Thane's chest, and he fell to the ground in pain. The young man knelt by his side as though checking if he was alive. He threw a glance at my way before picking his father up and running into the forest."Thane," I said softly to myself, "you left just as I imagined," I laughed watching as the young man tried to balance the weight of his father as he ran."That stupid child thinks he could stand before me?" I laughed recalling the look on his face when he saw his father was wounded.I called after them, "Keep running, slow down and my dogs would have your legs for breakfast."He could hear me, the wind carried my voice down into the woods. "Thane never considered his weight, he was proud of those muscles, now see him weighing you down." I mocked as I watched Kane slow a little trying to adjust his wounded father in his arms."Should we go after them?" My guard who led the reinforcements asked.I turned to him, and beh
KANEI stepped into the way, blocking off Erin's attack. Our weapons clashed hard. My eyes landed on Dane running out of the mansion with an unconscious Zane on his back and Maya by his side. Before Erin could notice what was happening, I immediately averted my gaze.Erin needed to be distracted so they could leave and that was my assignment."This fight isn't for little boys." Erin huffed angrily, he moved his foot so discreetly but I was quick to notice, Using one hand to hold his weapon, I blocked his leg with the other hand. In one swift movement, using his leg, I threw him off me.He flew a few metres away from me but his legs were strong so he landed on his feet.My eyes quickly flickered around the mansion, Dane and the others were no longer in sight, they had managed to escape, I heaved a sigh of relief as I turned back to Alpha Erin."Not a move you expected from a little boy huh?" I sent him a mocking smile. For once, I was grateful for the numerous battle classes that Dad h
KANE"Calm down Kane, let's trust Dad," Dane said trying to calm me down, I couldn't stop pacing about the room."Calm down?" I scoffed in disbelief, "how can you be calm when everything is in chaos?" I asked staring at him."But what can we do other than trust Dad and let him do what he thinks is best," Dane said trying to act reasonably."Yes, there's nothing we can do, but we could have prevented this from happening." I snapped, I knew this wasn't his fault but I couldn't contain my anger, our decision had caused this."How?" He asked, "Just pack up let's leave.""We could have rejected Sierra and none of this could have happened!" I shouted."Look Kane, we decided to accept her and bear the consequences in case you have forgotten." Dane's words stung but I was past caring."I wouldn't have done so if I knew that the consequences were this dire." I covered my face with my hands.I felt Dane's hand on my shoulder, "Relax Kane, everything will be fine.""No," I shook my head, "Everyt
THANE"King Erin! King Erin!! King Erin!!!" The chants were getting louder as the army drew closer.Maya turned to me with wide eyes, "Isn't this treason? What are we going to do?" She was glancing over her shoulders in fear."Relax Maya." That was the only words I could say. This was purely treason, they had already crowned another person as their king and they were chanting his name.For the look of things, Erin had taken time to carefully plan this. He had reached out to numerous people and had successfully poisoned their minds against me."I will take care of it," I said walking towards the inner rooms with Maya in my arms. "First, we need to get you to somewhere safe.""What about Zane?" She asked."That's where we are going, you'll stay with him while I try to reason with them, hopefully, they will calm down." As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted saying it, a loud crashing sound filled my ears, and one of the rebels had driven straight into my mansion creating a crack
KANEI closed my eyes as a sharp pain ran up from my thigh and reverberated all through my body making me want to pull my hair out and cry. The pain I felt was not mine, I could tell that it was Sierra's, she was going through a series of pains that it was probably too much for her to handle."Sierra, She's in trouble." I was panting as I managed to walk, and my legs shook as I hurried away from where I stood, we were on our way back home, but I couldn't walk properly because of the pain I was feeling.I turned to Dane, "Can you track her?" I asked groaning. If I was in this much pain, I could only imagine what Sierra could be going through."N… no." He stammered holding his head, "There's this sharp pain in my head." He groaned. "I can't concentrate."I tried to breathe it out, I tried to close my eyes and concentrate on the mate bond trying to locate her but it was impossible, all I could think of was trying to ease the pain that I was feeling.My legs gave way, I flopped down on th
SIERRA"Get me the hot coals!" Alpha Elvis shouted he was fuming in anger.I trembled at the mention of coals, I knew he would do anything to hurt me, his eyes screamed anger. I knew he wasn't going to hesitate to hurt me with anything he wanted.My eyes flickered to the surroundings, it was empty save from Beta Orion who stood with a large grin on his face, I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that he was enjoying the scene before him."Now look at that," Alpha Elvis turned to Beta Orion with a smile on his face, "She's scared of me." He looked excited as he pointed to me with his index finger.I shook, I wanted nothing more than to enter into the ground and die but Alpha was taking his time, he was careful enough to know that he didn't hit any vital part that would take my life while he was sure enough to hit me so hard that I wanted to die.We were in a room with no door and window safe for a few boxes that lay on the other end of the room. After taking me away from my so-called f
KANEPure shock was written over Maya's face and My Dad's, they couldn't believe their eyes. Maya's scream pierced through my ears."That's not my child, this was edited." She was panting as she spoke. She turned towards my father holding his face in her palms, "Videos like this can be edited, isn't that right Thane?" She asked with tears pooling her eyes.My Dad nodded, "There's no way Sierra would do such a vile act." He agreed.Alpha Erin laughed, "I know you're in shock that's why you're denying the evidence right before your eyes.""There's no way the video is fake, you can verify its authenticity if you like," Claire said with a grin on her face. I could tell that she was enjoying this as much as her father."This is not true.." Maya shaking her head in denial, "Sierra would never hurt Zane.""Something is wrong somewhere." My Dad agreed nodding his head. My dad's wrinkles deepened as he frowned, the past hour had been so stressful on him that he appeared to have aged more than
