Sienna woke up groaning when she felt something heavy draped over her waist. With her eyes still closed, she tried to push it away but instead, the thing tightened around her, causing her back to press against a brick-like surface. She groaned again and wiggled to move away but only until she heard a warning lace growl. "Stop," a deep gruff voice warned her. Her brows pulled together in confusion before her eyes snapped open in alarm. The first thing she noticed was the couch which was empty. Her mind was quick to get on the work. The couch was empty because she wasn't on it. If she wasn't on the couch then where was she? She turned her head and realised she was on the bed. When did she get on the bed? A soft sigh tickled the back of her neck. Tingles sparked. "You smell delicious, babe," the same deep voice groaned near her ear. She looked down and saw a familiar inked arm draped around her. It didn't take her long to realize who was clinging to her back like a damn gorilla. "
Her eyes latched on the icy peaks of snow-capped mountains that stood tall and proud in a distance. On one of those lived the notorious witch. The gusts of cold wind started to nip at their bone as they drew near the mountain. Azriel and Dustin were not as affected by the chilly wind as Sienna was. They had their wolf blood running in their veins. Azriel thought it would be better to shift in their wolf form for easy navigation. He looked over at Sienna who had now started to shiver with cold. Her arms were wrapped around her in an attempt to detain the heat. Azriel took off his shirt and walked over to her. "Here, take it," Azriel stretched his arm out and offered it to her. Sienna first looked at the shirt and then at him in surprise. "Ain't you cold?" Sienna looked at his bare chest in horror. He was not wearing anything. Azriel rolled his eyes. "You keep forgetting I am a wolf, Harrison. Cold doesn't affect me as much as it does you. Now take it. I am going to shift anywa
The ground under them shook thunderously, drowning out all the other noise. The walls had started to chip away crumb by crumb. Her horror-filled orbs flitted around the cave in search of any escape but all she could see was a vast expanse of darkness. Her heart shrank with unfiltered dread and without her knowing a shriek tore through her lungs. The grim ripper had set his forbidding gaze on them. This was the end. They were going to die. She was going to die without bringing her parents' killer to justice. "Sienna." her head snapped in the direction from where her name was yelled. Her mate was looking at her with deep concern. He started towards her. "Oh, shit," Dustin shouted, horrified, and before Azriel could shield her with his body the roof collapsed down on them. "Aahhh," Sienna shot up screaming, coated in a thick layer of sweat. She placed a hand on her heart that was close to bursting and closed her eyes to calm herself.The memories rushed back and she frowned. How was
She woke up alone in the morning. The disappointment was quick to hit her when she didn't find him around. Where did it come from she didn't know but she had expected to wake up in his arms. Curbing her thoughts, she yawned and slid down from her bed to start the day. As freakish as it may sound, they were back to the same day they had set their journey on. It almost felt like they had never embarked on their journey into that magical woods. She knew some magic was at play. She was brought from her thoughts when she collided with someone. A sharp sound of cups crashing against the floor pierced through the air. "I am sorry," Sienna crouched down and started gathering the broken pieces. " It's okay, ma'am. Let me take care of it," An unfamiliar voice hit her ear before a wrinkly hand reached forward and carefully took all the pieces from her hand. She looked up instantly to find an old woman sitting in front of her. Her violet eyes were boring holes into her blue ones. There was
Sienna lifted her knee and made no further delay in kicking him where the sun doesn't shine. His growls of passion turned into grunts of pain. Azriel groaned and doubled over. A moment later, he looked up. "Fuck, Harrison," he hissed and shot her a death glare while covering his crotch with his hand. She would lie if she said the pain etched across his features didn't give her an odd satisfaction. Sienna smirked at him, satisfied with her work. He deserved it so very much. "Get out of my room," she turned around and spoke nonchalantly. Lifting her hand up, she wiped her lips, "and don't touch me ever again," she added venomously. She had hardly taken a few steps when she was yanked around by him. "What is wrong with you?" he asked, annoyed. His brows were almost knitted together. "What is wrong with me? What is wrong with you? Why did you mark me when you want Alyssia," she shot back angrily. Azriel ground his teeth in passive aggression. "You would have died if not for my
Sienna halted in her steps when she saw The imperials standing around Azriel's car in a group. The ripples of smoke were swirling in the air as they smoked away without a care. She covered her face with her hood and hung her head low in an attempt to hide from those bullies. She hoped not to get noticed by them as she propelled her legs towards the building. "Hey, shortie," Millie shouted to her. Sienna groaned inwardly but halted. She knew if she wouldn't they would make her regret that. "Shortie thought we will not notice her," Lucas flipped her hood down and joined Millie. "If that's what she was aiming at then she should have started with wearing the highest heel that is there on earth," Alyssia joined. The crowd burst out laughing as Millie high-fived Alyssia for her "impeccable" comic timing. "Where is that lapdog of yours?" Garter, another jerk from the group asked. " He is a friend," she inwardly cursed herself for stuttering in front of them. Her bullies loved to see her
Realization dawned on his face. He stared at her with his mouth agape before irritation swept through his features."Stop being jealous of Alyssia. It doesn't suit you," his eyes narrowed in disapproval as he admonished her. His comment caused her temper to flare up. Her face hardened. "And it suits you? You can beat Dustin out of jealousy but I can't even raise a question? Some double standards you have. For your information, I wasn't jealous. I just raised a valid question. If you don't have an answer to it that's fine. I don't need an answer anyway. I already know," she stammered with rage. Ridges of his neck became dangerously pronounced as he stepped forward, looming in on her. "No," his voice had deepened with anger. She felt a stab of fear. His face had darkened with fury and his two eyes were flaming. "I did not tell her this. I did not because I don't care about her. She is not my mate nor do I care who she sleeps with," saying that, he gripped her jaw in a tight hold, f
Excitement laded the air. The sun peeked through the rolling clouds. It was a sunny day but not too hot. Just the perfect day to go on a date or picnic. A perfect day for the mating ceremony. Sienna made her way to the public garden. On her way, she passed by excited teens gushing about the ceremony. It was like an annual festival for the wolves. Sienna could never understand what they found so exciting about today. She quietly walked towards the garden. Her eyes turned round in admiration when she spotted multiple canopies standing in the garden. They were small in size but at least twenty in number. Their presence was giving a romantic air. She walked nearer and saw a man mowing the grass. The preparation was in full swing. Her wandering eyes clapped onto Azriel who was engaged in a conversation with one of the workers. She watched as he drew a breath and suddenly stopped talking. She began to count in her head. 1..2..."Before she could breathe 3, his eyes darted in her direc
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
