Her eyes were rimmed with tears but her lips were smiling as she lovingly gazed upon the man she was dying to see for years. Five excruciating years. She had waited for this man for five long years.The dirt covering his face mattered little to her as she caressed his scruffy cheek with her warm hand. An ache pushed against her chest when her fingertips grazed against a bruise. She touched the bruise and her vision blurred with tears. Those selfish pricks had tortured him so brutally. Her heart clenched with pain before she was struck with a sudden fury. "Launch an attack on the Elves. Show them what happens when they conspire against us," her voice came out firm and heavy with authority. Sean frowned. "They have alrady apologized. I don't think we should take such a big risk for a rogue," Sean protested. Irritation flickered through her features before she looked over her shoulder. "Do as I say," she commanded in a tone that demanded obedience. Being an alpha's daughter, she had
The news of him being the banished prince traveled fast. Several alphas expressed their objection through letters and emails. According to them, bringing him back was a disrespect to the late King. Whereas some supported Sienna, a larger group demanded to send him back into the woods. Sienna let out a heavy sigh as Karl read her the heap of letters that demanded Azriel's exile. There was no way she was going to let him go again. This was his home and this was where he would stay.After the meeting, she returned to her room. Her eyes found him instantly when she entered through the door. It had been three days and he wasn't awake yet but his wounds were healing fast. His health had improved a lot. The healer said it was because of their closeness. The mate bond was at its strongest as they were close. Dropping her jacket on the chair, she made her way toward the bed. The day had exhausted her. She eased down on her back and turned to face him. Laying her head on his bare chest she p
Azriel woke up to a start. He was engulfed by cold darkness. He felt terrible anxiety creeping over him when he looked around only to meet with darkness. He jerked up to run but couldn't move an inch. Realization stung him like a thorn. He was tied. "Inject wolfbane," a voice echoed in the room followed by heavy footsteps."Let me go," Azriel shouted while struggling to break free. Two large hands held his face before he felt a piercing pain on the side of his neck. His heartbeat slowed down instantly and his whole body burned with pain. He was injected with Wolfbane. The ordeal worsened when someone stuck something to the side of his head. He couldn't even get the time to register it before a jolting electric shock wrecked his body. His cold lips trembled to form a word but the onslaught of current kept him disoriented and twisting in pain. "No..No..Stop, it hurts...It hurts.." Sienna woke up to his mumbling. At first, she couldn't understand but when he continued to mumble the sam
"How long has it been?" he asked. "Five years," she told him. His eyes widened slightly. "I was there for four years," he concluded to himself. He sounded defeated. " How did they capture you?" she instinctively leaned towards him and asked. He looked up to meet her concerned gaze. "I was asleep when they injected me with wolfbane and took me to their prison. They kept me in silver chains and drugged me with wolfbane six times a day as I was too strong for them to handle," he told her in a resigned tone. His face held no expression but his voice was loaded with pain. Sienna was about to tear up. They had treated him worse than an animal. Those bastards. They will have a nightmarish end and she will personally see to it. She put her hand over his and offered him a gentle smile. "The way you braved it all till the last makes me admire you more," she said, squeezing his hand softly. Her confidence in him both melted and annoyed Azriel. "I am no longer the Azriel you knew
Their gaze snapped to the Reagon who was frowning at the doorway carrying a big blue ball in his hand. "Mummy?" Sienna heard Azriel's surprised whisper. Sienna grimaced at her boy before hastily lifting herself off Azriel. The boy dropped the ball and rushed over to Azriel. "Are you okay, dad? Did Mumma hurt you?" Reagon loomed over his dad and asked with his tiny brows snapped together. He appeared all set to lash out at his Mumma if Azriel told on her. It is at that moment Azriel realized how similar he looked to him. Azriel was too stunned to speak. Sienna stepped back and watched Reagon comforting Azriel with an amused look. "Get up, dad. I will help you," the boy bent down and wrapped his small fingers around his broad shoulders to hoist him up. He looked determined to help his dad up. Azriel just continued to gape at Reagon, all perplexed. "Up, dad. I won't be able to help you if you don't help yourself," Reagon urged while struggling to pull his dad up. Azriel pu
Dustin and Sean had visited to see Azriel the following day. Many things had changed in five years. Azriel wasn't the same. It pained them to realize how much he had endured in the last four years. His suffering had changed him for Azriel wasn't someone without a spirit. He was a born leader. An Alpha Out-and-Out. But right now he didn't resemble his previous self. They both had left after some time, not being able to see him like this. Little Reagon was on cloud seven since his father's return. He couldn't wait to show off his dad to his friends who had always asked him about his dad. Back then, he couldn't do anything but sulk. He had already made a long list of things that he was going to do with his dad. He had heard from Uncle Sean that his dad is a smashing Basketball player. He decided to ask his father to teach him how to play. He also wanted to be a smashing basketball player just like his dad. After finishing his lesson, the boy excitedly dashed towards his parents'
A smile swept across her face as she gazed lovingly at her beast. He was just as diabolical. His mesmerizing silver eyes were glittering like the moon in darkness. The beast could strike fear in anyone's heart merely by his monstrous form but not Sienna. She owned this monster. "Vulcan," she stroked his fur and whispered softly. The bed creaked as Vulcan rose to straddle her. His humongous body completely swallowed her tiny one. He could easily crush her to death with his weight but Sienna trusted him. The beast was too fond of her to hurt her. He bent and started slobbering her cheek. A delightful purr vibrated from his chest. Sienna giggled feeling his sticky drool covering her face. He was acting like a cute puppy. "Did you miss me?" she scratched behind his ear and asked while pecking his snout. In response, Vulcan lowered his face and licked her mark. An electric current spiraled down her spine making her curl inwardly. The beast pulled her sleeve down, careful not to h
She pieced everything together. That explained his sudden absence from the room last night. She felt a flicker of irritation. He cannot kill just anyone. Things would have turned out for worse if anyone else had found out about it. He already had a bad reputation and this would have only added fuel to the fire. She decided to have a talk with him. Azriel was coming out of the bathroom after taking shower when she barged into the room. His brows drew together as she stormed her way in his direction. "Where did you go last night?" she crossed her arms over her chest and demanded with narrowed eyes. "And don't you dare to lie, Azriel," she added. His eyes hardened and his jaw squared. "I went to kill that bastard. I am sure you know it already by now," his silver eyes stared back at her cool and unwavering. His bold confession stoked her anger. "You had no business killing him," she barked. "He was a fucking cunt who deserved to die," his tone was cool and unbothered.
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
