Her jaw dropped in astonishment. Confident she had misheard Sean, she asked him to repeat his line. "She died six years ago," Sean repeated. The word confusion couldn't even explain what she felt at that moment. How could she be dead six years ago when she was serving here in the castle five years ago? Did she hallucinate her five years ago? Was she seeing a ghost? But she had other maids interacting with the old woman. What sorcery is this? Sorcery. It has to be sorcery for nothing else made sense. If Cornelia was dead who was here in her place and why her body was found in the woods after six years of her death? The puzzle was making her head spin. She asked Sean the cause of her death. The reply answered some questions but birthed many more questions. "She had hung herself," Sean told her. Now that only made it more complicated. Why an old woman would hang herself? Coming to think of it. that woman had always her neck covered with a necklace that had a blue gem in the center
Sienna followed him out. There was no way she was going to let him off the hook this time. "I told you running away won't solve anything. You can't hit people just because they annoy you. You really need to get your act straight, Azriel, or I will have to.." before she could finish her sentence she was pinned against the wall. Azriel had his hand wrapped around her throat. A bullet of panic rose in her throat when she looked into his eyes. He was staring down at her very strangely. "Azrie.." "Or what? Are you going to leave me? You think that would be a wise decision to make, Moonshine?" he even sounded strange. His gaze wasn't warm at all. It was cold and filled with malice as he started choking her. She noticed the corner of his lips tilting up as she struggled to breathe. He had mercilessly blocked her air passage. Her eyes grew wide and her mouth fell open. By the force he was choking her, she thought she would die any moment now. Kill her......Kill her....Kill her The sam
"I can't," Sienna's gaze had softened now and her voice caring as usual. He had just got rid of shackles and chains. How could she put them back on him? "To save us, you will have to," he told her dead serious. He was determined to do anything to save them from him. "But this....I can't do this to you," tears flowed down her eyes. He still had nightmares. There was no way she was going to make him live his nightmare again. He didn't relent. She shook her head and implored him not to force her into this. It was difficult for her. Very difficult. "Then let me go because if I'll stay I'll only cause destruction," he grabbed her hands and said solemnly. "No," she couldn't do that either. "Do you want me to become a killer, Moonshine?" he asked, searching her eyes. Her eyes turned wide before she shook her head vigorously. "Then help me," he almost pleaded. The helplessness had strained both their features. "Is..is there no other way?" she asked, hoping there was one. A
"Take me to him," she instructed in an unwavering voice. Sean seemed reluctant. "Sienna, he is not.." "Are you disobeying your queen?" Sienna arched her brow at him just like that witch had done to her. She realized it makes one look intimidating. Sean sighed and nodded. "Stay as far as you can. He is bursting with dangerous force," Sean warned her. Sienna followed him silently. The noise of metal clanking against metal grew louder. She heard him snarling and snapping at the guards before she saw him. She felt a wave of anguish washing over her when she saw him behind the bars, tied to posts. His face was covered with his raven locks. His glowering eyes lurking behind the sprawled locks and watching his prey with murderous intent. A low growl rumbled from the back of his throat as he struggled violently against the chains. His arms were spread out tied to posts, and his feet were shackled. A thick flow of blood seeped down his wrist as he ruthlessly pulled at them. Sienna winced.
The air in the cell was cold and dark but it held no chance against his gaze which was filled with depravity. She was aware of his deadly intention behind those silver eyes. She was aware that right now she was just prey to him and still, she took a step forward. She noticed his eyes lighting up with hostility as she drew closer. If not chained he would have attacked her already. Their intentions were the literal opposite. She wanted to help him and he wanted to take advantage of her. Sienna was not oblivious to the thought going on in his mind but still, she couldn't bring herself to not go closer to him. The urge to comfort him overrode all the alarm bells ringing in her head. Once she was close enough to touch, she lifted her hand and gently brushed the hair away from his forehead. A low growl rumbled from the back of his throat. He was still eyeing her balefully. "Look what you have done to yourself," she gently wiped the sweat from his face. She had masked away all her pain
Sienna still had a sliver of apprehension. What if he was acting up to free himself and unleash destruction on the people? Seduce him. Let him fuck you then fucking up the whole town. The goal is to release his raging energy. How, it doesn't matter. Violet had suggested her this when she had asked her for a solution. "Release me, Princess," his impatient growl broke her from her thoughts. The lust was more than evident in his silver eyes. Down there, his cock was back to be as hard as a pole. That rigid piece of meat was intimidating. She gulped and glanced up to meet his gaze. The look in his eyes caused her breath to stagger. He was eyeing her with hunger and need. Sienna decided to take the chance. She wanted to believe in their bond and his love for her. The evil shadow of the moon cannot taint his feelings for her. Azriel was noting his senses but he was still her Azriel. Despite her shaking hands, she reached up and slowly undid the chains. The moment she released h
His senses woke to her sweet scent and tiny sparks. The morning couldn't get any better. An unconscious smile tugged over his lips as he snuggled more into her soft body. He breathed into her intoxicating scent that made him feel at peace. She was his heaven. His salvation. Slowly, he opened his eyes, and his vision filled with her soft beautiful hair. He brushed her hair away from his face and lifted his upper body up on his elbow to look at her. She was lying naked on her back. A wave of warmth spread through him as he stared at her breathtaking face. She was gorgeous and all his. She looked ravished with her bruised lips and messy hair. He didn't remember much about last night but the feeling of satisfaction he woke up with this morning told him enough. He leaned closer and fondly caressed the side of her cheek with his knuckles. "How you got me this crazy, I wouldn't know," he whispered against her lips before pressing his lips to hers. His brows furrowed in confusion when he f
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
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
