Mates Deception 131
Sirella’s povI could feel their eyes on me all throughout the day as I got out of my room after having my bath. I knew some of the guards watched and followed me and I knew who had sent them.Even when I went to my room, sometimes I’d hear footsteps outside.I knew they had been sent by Donovan.The trust was gone. He didn't believe me anymore.And he wanted to follow me, to see if I made a mistake.I kept my head low, pretending not to see them.I was careful about everything I did.Finally the day got over. I was sitting in my room on my bed with an open useless book, just pretending to read it.The house was quiet now.Most of the wolves were asleep.Even the guards had relaxed a little, but I knew they were still there, hiding in the dark corners.Then my phone vibrated.I jumped a little.I quickly grabbed it and checked the screen.Kieran.My heart started to race.I opened the message. “I’m at the barn. Come.”I got up slowly, trying not to make any noise.It was risky but I h

Kieran’s povI snuck out of the barn, as silent as I possibly can as I made my way walking and slightly jogging.I got to the edge of the pack and zipped away with my super speed. The trees blurred by as I moved without holding back.I had to get out of Donovan's land and fast. I ran, and ran until I found myself at the borderlands between my pack's territory.I didn’t stop there either. I kept moving until I saw an old broken-down building far ahead.It was dark and there were no people around, perfect.As I ran, I got a call from someone as I halted and listened to the call. The allies I had sent messages to were at the building waiting for me. Good.I then walked up to the building and I noticed a couple of shadowy figures standing at.They were not moving, their gaze anchored to the shadows.I approached them with stealthy steps.They saw me and relaxed a little. “You made it,” one of them said.“Yeah,” I panted. “I’m here.”“And no one saw you?”“No,” I said. “I’ve been careful.

“This is not a romance novel,” I kept telling myself over and over again as the Alpha’s son held my hand. He would not suddenly fall in love with a lowly servant —but I’m getting ahead of myself. My name is Sirrela, and I am the bastard daughter of an enemy Alpha, not that anyone in this pack knows. My mother was a simple servant, and of course, when I became old enough, I followed her path as a servant. How my mother, a servant, met my father, an enemy Alpha, is another story for another time. Of course, I do not work at the palace; I do not have the qualifications. Only my mother does. But today, my mother was very ill, and she begged me to cover her shift for her. I’d heard so many stories about Alpha Kane’s palace, and my mother had even confirmed that his son, Lucian, is very handsome and brave. So, of course, my heart was beating fast with anticipation as I brought the glass he’d rung for into his bedroom. He was standing shirtless, facing the window, and I sucked in a b

I stood in the kitchen, the warm smell of eggs and bread filling the tiny house. The sun peeked through the curtains, spilling light onto the wooden floor. My hands moved quickly, flipping the eggs and stirring the porridge.My mother sat at the small table near the window, knitting as usual. Her hands worked fast, but I could tell she wasn’t really focused.“Mama,” I said, breaking the silence, “have you ever had a mate before?”My mother’s hands froze mid-stitch, and she turned to look at me with a raised brow. “Why are you asking that?” she teased, a knowing smile spreading across her face. “Have you found your mate?”I nearly dropped the spatula. “No, Mama! It’s not like that!” I said quickly. My cheeks felt hot, and I turned back to the stove. “I was just wondering... what does it feel like?”mother’s smile softened, but her gaze lingered on me for a moment longer, as if trying to read the unspoken thoughts behind the question. “It’s… it’s a feeling like no other,” mother finally

I had no idea what to expect when I arrived at the Blood Moon Pack. The stories I’d heard about it made it sound like a place where wolves and monsters roamed, and no one was ever really safe. Whispers about their assassins —men and women who could kill without a sound, without even a second thought.The books I read spoke of their eyes, cold and hard, and their unmatched skills in battle. This was the kind of place where even the strongest shivered at the thought of crossing them. My heart beat fast as I walked up to the giant stone gates.I felt my heart race with each step I took closer to the gates . Stone tower walls loomed ahead, like something out of a dark fairytale.When I reached the gates, two guards stood watch. Their eyes were sharp, scanning every inch of me. I felt small under their gaze, but I knew what I had to do. I couldn’t let them turn me away.I had practiced my story in my head over and over again. I was just a messenger with information the Alpha needed to hear

The path back to the Silver Crest Pack was long, quiet, and awkward. The Gamma walked ahead of me, silent and brooding. Every now and then, I glanced at him, hoping he’d say something, but he kept his eyes fixed forward, as if I didn’t exist.The silence wasn’t the kind that let you think clearly. It pressed down on me, making the air harder to breathe. I tried to distract myself with thoughts of Damian, clinging to the belief that his father would accept me. Damian loved me—I was sure of it. His father just needed to see reasons with him , and then everything would work out. The stranger beside me? He was just a precaution. Nothing more.I clung to those thoughts, letting them calm my nerves.But then I’d catch the Gamma’s piercing gaze. His eyes, so sharp and calculating, made my skin crawl. It wasn’t fear—it was something else. He looked at me like I was some silly child playing a game I didn’t understand. I hated that look, and I hated that he didn’t even try to hide it.Finally,

The road to the palace seemed longer than ever, each step heavier than the last. My chest felt like it was caving in, suffocating under the weight of my thoughts. Damian’s promises replayed in my mind, over and over, like a broken record. He swore we’d be together no matter what, that his father wouldn’t stand in our way.I’d opened myself to him in ways I’d never done with anyone else. He was my world, my everything. I’d given him every part of me—body, heart, and soul. Didn’t he know i would do anything for him? Didn’t he see the lengths I’d go to just to keep him by my side? And now... now it felt like he was throwing it all away, tossing me aside like I was nothing.The thought made my heart feel like it was drowning in a sea of pain. My breaths came shallow, and it took everything in me to keep walking.As I approached the palace gates, I wiped at my tear-streaked face. I couldn’t let them see me like this. I straightened my back and plastered on a neutral expression, pretending

Stupid Sirella…Why is it so dark? Wait a minute… Where am I, and what’s happening?You’ll never be loved…Who’s saying that?“This pain you’re feeling…? It’s your fault, you brought it on yourself. You should have known your place, Sirella. This was never possible. You should have made me reject you the first time we met.”I know… Please, stop…“Sirella, you were never supposed to be in this position in the first place. What we had was… fun. But it was never meant to last. You need to understand something. I have a duty to this pack. I can’t throw that away for a maid.”Someone, anyone, please wake me up!I stirred from my dream to the smell of stew cooking, and a gentle nudge to my arm. The Gamma nudged me and tilted his head to the direction of the pot bubbling over the hearth.“What happened? How did I fall asleep? What time is it? Why does my head hurt? And for the moon goddess’ sake, where are my clothes??” I asked, becoming increasingly agitated with each question I fired to him

Sirella’s povI as sirella sat on the dusty floor. Cracks lined the walls and I admired how quiet it was here. It was always cold and dark. That’s what I loved most about this place. I held the phone in my hand tightly as I called Kieran. My hands were shaking a little but I still pinched myself every now and then to be more confident in myself.Finally, after a few rings, he picked up. “Sirella?” Kieran’s voice came through the phone. It sounded worried.“Hey, I’m here,” I said as I looked around to make sure no one was listening.“Are you okay?” He asked. “What’s going on?”I took in deep breaths and closed my eyes for a moment.How could I tell him? How could I tell him what I had witnessed? How could I tell him Donovan and Damien were more evil than we realized? I was already tired of saying that to him and I was sure he knew.“I’m alright,” I said after a second, keeping my voice steady."Sirella," Kieran said slowly, like he didn't believe me. "Don't lie to me." "I'm not lyin
Mates Deception 129
Kieran’s povI stabbed my fork into the meat harder than I needed to.I couldn’t get Donovan and how he was doing things in his pack out of my head.At first I had my doubts; perhaps he was just another greedy alpha like so many of the others. But now… now I knew something was deeper wrong. Stealing wolves? He was clearly using them against their wills.The way he acted.The way he smiled too much.The way he always had to be in control of everything and everyone around him. It made my skin crawl.I exhaled and lowered my fork.I glanced at my hands.I thought of Sirella and thought of her bruises I had seen.Bruises that appeared as if she’d been manhandled, thrown, injured.I haven’t asked her about it yet. I pushed it aside.Maybe I just didn’t want to hear her lie.Or maybe I just wasn’t ready to hear the truth.Something bad was happening to her and she was keeping it from me.“Why, Sirella?” I whispered to myself. “Why are you keeping secrets?”I sat back in the chair and rubbe
Mates Deception 128
Kieran’s povI was so mad. I could feel my entire body shaking as it felt like I was on fire.With what I had learned, I knew that no knowledge should go to waste and I needed to know how to use this against them.Donovan and Damien.They were criminals.They were traitors.They were stealing wolves and plotting something dark, something evil.I stormed out onto the training grounds.The sun was high, the heat seeping through my thin, darker red robes not bothering me one bit. I had to get eyes on the guards. I wanted them ready.I got into the training grounds and what I saw made my skin crawl. Some of the guards were laughing. A few were even throwing stones at one another.They played like children in the park.My blood boiled hotter.This was no time to play. I quickened my pace, my feet pounding the earth.It quit when I got there. They looked up from their places around the fire and they froze.They stared at each other with wide, frightened eyes.I stood before them, arms cr
Mates Deception 127
Sirella’s povI couldn’t sit still in my room.My heart. It was beating too fast.I had to do something.I had to tell Kieran.He needed access to every piece of information I gained access to. But I couldn’t speak with him from the packhouse.Someone might hear me.There could be someone listening.I needed to be smart.I needed to find a safe place. I went to my closet and got a black hoodie and put the hood on my head making sure no one could even see my face. I then got out of the room and headed out of the packhouse.Quickly, carefully, I walked down the halls, and out the back door of the packhouse. Cold air immediately hit my face when I stepped outside.I had the old abandoned house down not far from the packhouse. It had been empty for as long as I could remember.It was perfect.The minute I got in, I closed the door and shut it as I turned around to smell the air. It smelled of dust and wood.The floorboards creaked as I walked forward but I didn’t mind.I’d gone to the r
Mates Deception 126
Sirella’s povI woke up early the next morning.The light was thin and failing so much so that it seemed as if the world were still asleep.But I didn’t sleep.Not after all I had heard. Not after everything I’ve seen.I sat up in my bed and looked at the wall.Damien.None of them were who they said they were.I needed more answers.I was the kind of person who had to have all the answers before I took action.I got up and dressed in the dark again. I put on dark clothes and soft soled shoes so no one could hear me walking.I opened my door slowly, peeking out. The hallway was empty. Good.I walked carefully down the hallway.At first, I didn’t really even know where I was going. I just kept doing what I had to do, based on my instincts.‘Keep searching,’ my insides told me.I walked by the dining room, then the kitchen, then the side halls.I came near the east side of the packhouse.Donovan had his study there.I stopped for one moment there.No one was allowed to the Alpha’s stud
Mates Deception 125
Sirella’s povI didn’t stop running until I reached the edge of the packhouse. I ducked behind a tree and glanced up.Damien was there, speaking with a warrior.I blinked at him. He looked the picture of an insane man with what he was doing.I ducked into the crates and ran through the back door and sprinted to a hiding spot. I had to understand what was going on.But before I could go further, someone spotted me as I rushed out of there and into the forest as I headed straight to the packhouse.I needed to get home quickly.I didn’t stop running until I got into my room as I closed my door and locked it. My hands were shaking. I sat on the floor.What the fuck did I just watch?How the fuck could Damien do that?How could no one know?I wanted to scream. To tell Donovan.But…Would he believe me? That his son was trafficking people? Or selling them? Or whatever the hell he was doing?Would anybody? I didn’t think so and lay back on my bed, closing my eyes, letting myself drift off.
Mates Deception 124
Sirella’s povThe morning air was cool. The sky was a soft blue, the sun not yet risen fully. I walked out of the packhouse, needing to be by myself for a while. My mind was a whirl. My heart too heavy. I needed some breathing space.I passed the training areas, the gardens, nodded to warriors who saw me pass and nodded in return. I didn’t talk much. I walked to the forest to clear my head and Just kept walking and looking at trees, sky, earth beneath my feet. Everything seemed so silent. Overly silent.As I went on, I started noticing things.This place had guards. It had too many guards for a forest.I traced the guards to a warehouse as I saw a few were near the gates. Few near corners of the forest. Few near some buildings which looked old, forgotten and broken.Why were there so many guards?Why were they all carrying weapons?I just kept walking, pretending I hadn’t seen them. But all the while I was wondering. And worrying. Because something felt very wrong.And then I saw it.
