Even the slightest movement had her moaning in pain. She clutched her lower abdomen and squeezed her eyes shut to ease the pain. She opened her eyes when she heard the creak of door. He was standing at the door watching her with a peculiar expression. There was relief but also pain in his eyes. The man looked away from her and turned around to close the door. His quiet body language was disturbing Sienna. Despite the pain teraing her from inside she flashed him a bright smile when he turned to face her. Azriel smiled back but his smile didn't reach his eyes. He dropped his gaze and walked towards her. As he came closer she scooted over but Azriel didn't notice and sat on the chair next to the bed. Sienna felt a prick of disappointment but continued to smiling anyway. "How do you feel now?" Azriel was still not looking at her. "Look at me," Sienna demanded, having enough of it. Azriel hesitantly looked up and met her eyes. She could see he was feeling guilty. "I feel better n
Her evil sanguine eyes trailed over the little boy who was busy playing with his ball in the garden oblivious to her predatory gaze on him. The figure licked her lips wondering how delicious his heart would taste. She had to wait a long time for this. The could above burst loudly startling the boy. Reagon glanced up towards the sky before picking up his ball and scurrying back into the castle. The woman smirked wickedly. It was time.The witch had to sit back and watch him grow from afar. She would have taken his heart out a long time back if not for that bastard Jarek's magic on the boy. The former alpha king had weaved an invisible shield around the boy with the help of her useless mother. She was deeply disappointed when she learned about this. That old bag kept it under wrap. He would still be alive if not for his annoying tactics. Anaira rolled her eyes and snapped her finger. She was back in her room now. The woman opened her closet which was also a hidden alleyway to somewhe
Sienna told Azriel about her meeting with Violet. Azriel was not very happy to hear about it. Witches did not have a good reputation. They were mainly known for two things; magic and their evil mind. "So that witch gave you that shitty idea. I am not even surprised," Azriel didn't bother to hide his disapproval. " It wasn't a shitty idea," Sienna replied, offended by his remark. "You almost died, Sienna," Azriel reminded her with a sharp gaze. The thought still shook him to the core. Those moments when he thought he had lost her still haunted him. The guilt was still there. How could she be so lightly about this? "But I am alive and healthy," Sienna argued back with a sigh. This man was nagging her incessantly to promise him that she won't do it again. But Sienna had refused by saying that she can't make no such promises. How was she to sit back and see him struggling in chains? Unsurprisingly, that didn't sit well with Azriel. No reason was good enough to make him change his
Her eyes popped out in admiration when she saw the beautiful wooden cottage standing in distance. It sat on the hilltop. A glimpse of heaven. "Woow," the wolf under her growled in agreement. She had never got the chance to visit this corner of paradise. It was far away from the chaos of the world. Peaceful and secluded. Sienna looked down at the black wolf she was straddling and yanked at his fur. The wolf growled in annoyance. " What do you have on your mind, Mr. Wolf? Am I going to die here?" she leaned forward and asked with an impish grin on her face. Vulcan leaped forward making her hug him tightly. "You.." Sienna said in an accusatory tone while the wolf smirked. He had shifted into his wolf form as driving up the mountain was difficult due to the rough terrain. He lowered his body and Sienna climbed off him. She ran towards the cottage door only to find it locked. "Do you have the ke.." she turned around and fell silent when she saw him striding towards her all naked.
Sienna tilted her face up to look at the blue sky. Although the lofty big tree leaves covered most of her view, she managed to get a glimpse of the sky. The sky was clear and bright. A perfect day for hiking. Sienna had changed into a blue t-shirt and shorts. She ditched her heels for sneakers and completed the look with a round hat. "The weather is lovely today," Sienna remarked while staring up at the sky. Azriel followed her gaze. "Weather here changes in the blink of an eye," Azriel replied staring at the sky. "Let's go,' Azriel told her and turned to walk ahead. Sienna followed him. The ascent to the mountain was like walk in a park for Azriel whereas Sienna couldn't wait for this orenous task to get over. Her excitement began to fade away as teh time went on and more layers of dirt found their place on her skin. Her feet were hurting and her clothes were stained with mud due to slipping a few times. "We are here,' Azriel told her. Sienna felt a wave of relief washing over h
Azriel had cooked dinner for them. Sienna felt like she was living a dream. Reality can't be this beautiful. It has to be a dream. Her lips curved into a soft smile as she ran her fingers along the length of the diamond necklace she was wearing. Azriel had gifted it to her last night. It was his mom's. She had seen in his eyes how much this necklace meant to him when he had given it to her. After adjusting the necklace, she gave her reflection a once over. The necklace went perfect with the dress. She was wearing a black fishtail gown. The dress made her look taller than her actual height. Sienna had gained some weight after birthing Reagon, especially around her tummy. There were also some stretch marks on her belly which she had earned during pregnancy and which the woman of her age might find scary. But she loved them. They reminded her of her those nine months when she felt her first child growing inside her. A small smile graced her lips as she thought about her little bunny. She
In a splitsecond, Azriel shot out of the bed and dashed out the room to follow the scream. His horror-filled eyes moved frantically in search of her. A lump had formed in his throat and his heart was pounding erratocally against her heart. "Sienna," he called for her but there was no answer. His spirit sank. Barely a moment had passsed when another scream tore through the air. Cold fear prickled over his skin. Just the thought of her in pain was enough to make his stomach churn. He hastened his steps and found him racing towards the woods. The fear was accompanied with one more emotion. Rage. He was going to kill the bastard who dared to lay hand on his mate. But before that he had to save his moonshine. It took him less than a minute to find her. His heart sank when he saw her. She was kneelingwith her hands and knees on the ground. Her face was contorted in pain and tears were running down her clenched eyes. Azriel looked around but there was no one except for her. "Moonshine,
Sienna scrunched her brows before opening her eyes. Her vision was immediately assailed by the bright sunlight forcing her to close her eyes back. Then a shadow fell over her face covering her eyes from the brutal sun."Now open your eyes," his velvety voice brought a smile to her lips. She felt the warmth of his gaze caressing her skin. Joy sparkled inside her. She slowly opened her eyes and met with a pair of silver ones that she had come to love. He was looking intensely at her with a lazy smile on his handsome face. "Good Morning, Moonshine" he lovingly pecked the tip of her nose. An electric pulse went throught her bones. Her smile turned into a grin. "Good Morning, love," she greeted him back and pecked his dry lips. Azriel's eyes sparkled.They lovingly started into each other's eyes for a long moment. "Vulcan has gone crazy for Shaba," Azriel caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. His soft gaze following the movement of his hand. Sienna's eyes turned wide a fraction.
Azriel took a deep breath to calm his raging nerves. After spending years as a rogue the fact that today he was finally going to get his curse broken felt surreal. Reagon had shifted last week. He was ten now and was ready to revoke the curse. Sienna hugged him from behind and kissed his nape. "What are you thinking?" she asked. Azriel turned and gave her a soft smile. "Nervous?" she asked. Azriel nodded. "You are gonna be fine," Sienna assured him with her magical smile. When she smiled everything seemed to be falling in its place. Ten years and he was still crazily in love with her. She adjusted his tie out of habit before fixing his hair. Azriel cradled her face and kissed her mouth. Her kisses had a healing power in them. He always felt at ease whenever she kissed him. Sienna knew that so she let him devour his mouth. The ceremony started shortly. Azriel was standing at the altar and his son was standing across from him. Sienna and others were standing in the hall. As the re
Sienna woke up early in the morning feeling discomfort. The pain intensified by every second. She was in labor. The woman gripped her ballooned stomach and moaned in pain. Azriel was snoring next to her. "Azriel," she grasped his sleeve and breathed. His brows furrowed before he opened his eyes. His features twisted in alarm when he saw her breathing heavily. "I..it's time," she managed through her pain. Realisation came quickly to Azriel. "Hold on," Azriel quickly scooped her in his arms. He dashed out of their room and descended the stairs while shouting for the servants. A man came rushign towards them and bowed to the royal couple. "Call Dr. Hamilton and tell him to prepare," Azriel commanded the servant and raced past him. "You are going to be alright. Just take deep breathes okay?" Azriel kicked off the engine and sped the car. He rubbed her hand and kept assuring her throughout the ride. In ten minutes he was in front of the hospital. Quickly rounding up to her side, he p
The pregnancy hormones had gotten the better of Sienna. She was waking up nauseated every morning. Even though she had gone through all this once before it still felt like nightmare. Whoever said pregnancy duration is the best time of a woman's life was a damned liar. There was nothing good in feeling pukish all the time. The only consolation was that she wasn't the only one suffering this time. Azriel was here too.Azriel had witnessed a major shift in his mate during the pregnancy and it would be a lie to say it didn't terrify him. Whatever happened to his sweet obedient mate. She had turned into a control freak with her senses heightened exceedingly. Last night she jerked him awake just because hee was breathing tooloud and it was disturbing her sleep. The man had to sleep on the floor the rest of the night. Coffee was completely banned from the house as its smell repulsed her and let's not talk about eggs. Not too many days ago she didn't let Azriel inside the mansion because he
Sienna was without breath as she waited for the arrival of her mate and son. She had made Reagon’s favourite food with her own hand. There was an indousable smile on her face since the moment the messenger had come bearing the news of her son’s rescue.Currently she was standing by the window. Her hopeful eyes were fixed on the iron door. Her heart soared with happiness when a black car showed up in front of the Iron gate. A screeching sound emerged as the gate opened to let the car in. Sienna turned to rush out of her room and down the stairs to welcome her family. Tears of joy were in her eyes. Her heart was constantly at knot the whole night.The gate opened just when she climbed down the last step.Reagon’s gray eyes immediately latched onto Sienna and he lefthis father hand to run towards his mom. Sienna caught him and hugged him tightly while crying.“I am so sorry, baby….Mommy is sorry,” she sobbed against him.“Why are you sorry, Mommy?” the boy leaned back and asked in confus
They left the castle together as the sun descended into the pit of oblivion. Azriel, Sean, and Violet were riding ahead. Violet had sheer determination written over her face as she rode along the werewolves. She was waiting for a chance to exact her revenge on her bitch of mother. She finally got one. That woman had killed his father for her manwhore. They were riding on horses as the jungle was too dense to allow movement to car.With these mighty warriors alongside her, she was certain of victory. Azriel also had a fire burning inside him. He was going to pluck those eyes who dared to cast an evil glance at his family. That witch will have to pay for every sin she committed and the biggest of them all was to abduct his son.“I honestly believe that this witch is misleading us,” Sean sent a suspicious glare in Violet’s way.“ Keep talking and I’ll turn you into a frog,” Violet replied in a casual manner. Sean’s glare intensified.“Bloody witch,” Sean muttered under his breath“As
Sienna felt as if someone had pulled the ground off her feet. "What?' Azriel asked, equally shocked. "A girl had seen him running after a cat towards the garden. We checked the garden he is not there," Sean's voice was shaky with worry. "Did you..did you check his room? He must be in his room," Sienna piped in. Her voice held a tremor. "We did..He is not there," Sean answered. Fear gripped her heart instanly. Her maternal instincts were yellign at her that something was wrong. "My son," Sienna staggered back as tears streamed down her eyes. Azriel held her. "I'll find him, Sienna. He must have strayed off while playing," Azriel assured her but there was an edge in his voice. Azriel rushed out the room and began looking for Reagon. They searched every corner of the castle, from court to dungeon but there was no trace of Reagon. The boy had disappeared. Sienna was panicking now. She had no idea where her son was. Whotook him and why? The guards had also seen him playing with a
Sienna felt his questioning gaze searing through her skull but there was nothing that could stop her now. She had made up her mind. Everyone was taken aback by the declaration. It was a rare sight to see the reigning monarch to abdicate the throne for someone else. "But he is a rogue," one of the guests voiced out. The comment was biting but she kept her calm. "It is nowhere written that a rogue can't be a King and also we have figured a way to accept him back into the pack so it shouldn't be a problem," Sienna explained. "We will discuss more about it during the next pack meeting. For now, please, enjoy your time here and have a hearty meal," Sienna added with her regal smile. With that said, the spotlight was taken off her and the light flooded back in the room. Azriel stormed off without saying a word. Sienna watched his retreating back with sad eyes. She had upset him. She hoped he would understand her. She was doing it for him, for them. She blinked away from him and lay he
"Ma'am, you are looking stunning," the woman complimented Sienna. Sienna thanked her make-up artist with a smile before giving a once over to her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a red color offshoulder gown. Her eyes turned wide a fraction in amazement. She had never looked this gorgeous. "Wow...you are a magician," Sienna admired the woman, impressed. The woman chuckled. "Why thank you, ma'am. But truth be told I've done nothing. The sparkle in your eyes and the glow on your face has made all the difference," the woman replied honestly. Sienna couldn't deny this fact. She was glowing from within since Azriel's return. She was happy in a real sense and the news that Azriel had broken to her yesterday had only added to her glow. She was living the best of her life. She was pregnant. Azriel was sniffing her like a dog when she had woken up yesterday morning. His eyes were full of joy when he told her the news. Sienna took a momentto process but when she did she was on the
A week flew by in a wink. How? she wouldn't know. It was already time to go back home. She still had not sobered up from all the love Azriel was drugging her with. Oh, that's what his love was. A drug. "Ready?" Azriel skipped down the stairs carrying a bag. Sienna spun to look at him and shook her head. Azriel smiled and walked up to her."We will come back here very soon," he kissed her forehead and promised her. Her eyes lit up. "Promise?" she innocently blinked her long lashes at him. They were lighter than feathers but the power they hold was terrifying. Those black wings had made his poor heart skip its beat several times. Deadly, right? "Promise," he whispered smilingly. The duo set out on their journey back to the castle. The holiday had helped heal the wounds that even the time couldn't. They needed each other more than the time. Reagon ran into his mom's arms the moment she climbed down the stairs.Sienna grinned widely and lifted her baby in her arms. "I missed you, mo
