Sienna's steps were heavy as she led Rose towards the border."Sienna, please tell me where you're taking me,” Rose begged but Sienna didn't answer her.They continued walking for what felt like eternity, Rose looked up ahead and saw the moonlight casting a shimmering path on the water's surface. The waves crashed against the shore, their calm rhythmic sound in stark contrast to the turmoil Rose felt.Finally, they arrived at the bridge, the ocean sounding beneath them."Stop walking," Sienna yelled. The air was thick with tension as Sienna turned to face Rose, her eyes burning with a mixture of anger and grief. Rose looked around but there was nothing or no one. Just the two of them."Why, Rose?" Sienna's voice was a low growl, her fingers clenched into fists at her sides. "Why did you have to come into our lives and tear everything apart for me? When you finally died, I was happy. Things were going smoothly for me. Luke finally forgot about you. But you just had to show up as his si
Adriel's POVAs I held Sienna's lifeless body, the weight of sorrow pressed down on me like a leaden sky. Although she wasn't a good person, she could have lived a better life. With trembling hands, I dialed the number of my uncle."Adriel, what's happened?" came the urgent voice on the other end."Luke and Sienna are gone," I choked out. "I need you to prepare for their arrival and burial."There was a brief pause on the line, followed by a solemn, "Of course, we'll be ready."I hung up, realizing that I needed to act swiftly. With one last, lingering look, I whispered, "Rest in peace, Sienna." I said, asking one of the guards to take her away to the hospital, then together with Luke's body, they will take them to the Denver Pack.As I turned away, my phone rang, its harsh sound cutting through the stillness of the morning. I quickly answered, my heart pounding in my chest."Alpha Adriel," a familiar voice crackled through the line, "we found the twins."Relief washed over me like a
Adriel's POV"I'll call you back, Uncle," I said and stepped out of the hospital room, my heart heavy still with worry for Rose but I needed to find the lady who was calling my name.As I followed the sound of the enraged voice, I soon found myself in the hospital's bustling lobby. There, in the midst of the chaos, was Emily, Luke's mother, shouting and demanding to see me."Where's that bastard Alpha? Where is he? Adriel? Do you think you can murder my family and go scot-free? Show your face!" she raged, her eyes wild with grief and anger.I approached her cautiously, aware of the emotions that must be coursing through her. "Emily," I said gently, "I'm here."She turned to me with a look of pure hatred in her eyes. "You killed my son and his wife, Adriel. You're going to pay for what you've done."I swallowed hard, looking for the right words to console the woman. "I didn't kill them, Emily. I swear. The last time I saw Luke, he was injured, but dead. And Sienna, she..."She grabbed
Rose's POV"Mother? Is that really you?" I cried, unable to believe my eyes.My heart raced as my eyes locked onto the familiar face of the woman who had given me life. It had been years since we were separated, and I had often wondered if I would ever see her again. But here she was, standing before me, tears of joy in her eyes as well.I extended my trembling arms toward her, and without hesitation, she rushed to my side. Our embrace was tight, filled with a depth of emotion that words could never express. Tears streamed down both our faces as we held each other, mother and daughter, reunited at last."Rose, my dear, my sweet girl," my mother whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "I've missed you so much. I never stopped thinking about you ever since..."I couldn't find my voice as I clung to her, burying my face in her shoulder, inhaling her familiar motherly scent. It was a scent that I longed for, a scent that had been absent from my life for far too long."You're here," I fin
Roses POV“Rose! Rose!! Rose!!!, it’s time to leave. You wouldn’t want to be late for Mia’s birthday and mate-claiming ceremony.’’ Mom shouted. "I’m coming Mom," I swiftly replied.I stood in front of the mirror and adjusted my green gown. I styled my hair into a beautiful bun while leaving a few curled strands on my face with some mild makeup. I grabbed my purse, took a glance at the mirror, and went downstairs.‘‘Mom, I’m ready,’’ I said as I descended the stairs. "My gorgeous princess,’’ they smiled at me and complimented my outfit. “Alpha, the vehicle is ready.’’ The driver announced.“Well then, we better not be late.” My father said as we walked outside to the car.Once a female clocks 18, she celebrates her birthday, and her mates step forward to claim her in front of everyone.The mating ceremony is such an important ceremony, we dedicated a building for it so the ceremony can take place there without having to crowd family houses.The birthday ceremony starts at 7 pm while th
Tears welled up in my eyes as I saw my boyfriend getting mated to another girl right in front of me.My wolf retreated as she howled in pain. My ribs contracted and my breath hitched as I tried to shove back my tears.Their words felt like a physical blow and I could not believe my relationship with Brandon had ended. I got a public breakup from my boyfriend whom I had given my everything to.I remained rooted to the ground still in shock, as I reminisced on all our happy moments, the laughs, loves, and intimate moments we had.He had promised Eve; my wolf and I the world, to spend the rest of our lives together. The amount of sadness I felt could not be quantified.It took me a while to recollect myself from the bombshell that dropped a few minutes ago but at the end of it, with some encouraging words from Sienna and Mom through mind link, I was able to pull myself together from the mess he put me in and put on a welcoming smile for the new couple.I used all of my efforts to have a
I got to my safe haven and changed out of the gown I wore into casual clothes. The person I took time to dress for was mated to someone else so there was no use in looking pretty. I sat down on the bare grass, with my knees pulled towards my chest and I cried uncontrollably. From the claiming down to the kissing scene, my heart was breaking into a million uncountable pieces. All my happiness was gone, and it was replaced by a feeling of emptiness and despair. My cries increased as my thoughts drifted to the future. A future without him, my only love. I began to imagine myself attending an event and he won’t be with me. I won’t be able to talk to him about my day or my feelings when I’m down. “Why? Moon Goddess why?? He was my mate, he was mine. Why did you take him from me?" I screamed at the top of my lungs and my tears poured like a storm without an end. I just lost a part of myself and I didn’t know how to move on. I sat there questioning if I would be able to move on or not.
Our laughter turned into fear as we realized we were surrounded and in danger. Hottie stepped in front of me, wanting to shield me but he didn’t know I’m an Alpha’s daughter, trained for battle. “Just passing through, we mean no harm,” he slurred. The attackers didn’t want to reason, instead, they closed in on us, snarling and baring their teeth. We knew we were outnumbered but we were determined to leave the attack alive. The wolves let out a fierce howl, signaling the commencement of their attack. They charged forward but hottie and I were ready. “Don’t kill them, just make them unconscious. We don’t want problems in another territory” I said to him in a low voice before elongating my claws not wanting to ruin my clothes by turning completely. I lunged forward with my claws extended and sliced through the skin of the first werewolf to reach me accompanied by some blows. Due to my swift movements and multiple injuries sustained, the wolf let out a gurgling cry as it fell to the
