Xander said he will take me out today. I’m so excited to spend the evening outside, it has been such a long time since I went outside of my pack. The world where werewolves aren’t used to. It’s great to have an intriguing company besides, I thought. We have become good friends I would say. He’s not like what I thought. The first impression I had on him were proven to be wrong. He’s kind and friendly.I can’t roam around if I am alone but Xander’s presence beside her gives her confident. I never imagined having someone like him in my life. It’s strange how life turns out like this. I was chasing a man who paid no attention to me and now I’m here with the man who’s always keeps an eye on me. It feels different and I liked to have someone’s attention. It makes me feel contented.“Shall we leave?” he asked as he came out of the room.“Yes,” I nod with a smile.We got inside the car and I tried not to look at him often.“Do you know when we were young, you used to go everywhere alone,” he s
Sirena’s POVI noticed a vampire in the pub, it’s my first time. His scent made me retch and I immediately walked to Xander.“I told you not to wander off, you will meet those kinds of creatures,” he said.“God! That smell, that’s sickening,” she said.“Vampires feel the same way, when they smell us,” he said. I nod and left the bar. It’s quite captivating to listen to Xander. As he said, I enjoyed the evening after a long time. We came back to the mansion, the one strange thing that I noticed in the past two days was I never once felt lonely, even though we were miles away from the pack. I feel safe around him and I almost forgot everything that bothered me while I was in the pack.Lulu is having a wonderful time, her constant bickering turned silent these days. She has started to love this travel and also Xander’s company. I don’t know how she starts to like him this soon. It’s all seem like a miracle to me. And the most surprising of all this is how I never once thought about Alder.
Sirena’s POVThe next day, I was so anxious to go to the office. I need to face Xander, that’s the most awkward thing to imagine. I decided I should be silent just like before.Raven left earlier so I am walking alone into the office. I prayed I shouldn’t stumble across Xander as I made my way to my place.I sighed in relief and turned on the computer. The first email I got was from Xander, asking me to meet him in his office.“God, what does he want from me?” I wondered and walked to his office. His personal assistant wasn’t in the office, so I knocked on the door, feeling anxious.“Can I come in?” I asked.“Yes,” Xander’s stern voice heard from the other side.I walked inside to his perfect posture but there’s something off about his hair. He didn’t style it flawlessly, it’s messy and noticing my eyes on it, Xander straightened it immediately. I can’t help but smile to see that.“Look, how handsome he is,” she screamed. She has been hyping about this ever since she saw the message. I
Sirena’s POVRaven came to my place after lunch, she’s here to check on me as I didn’t have lunch yet. She must be worried, I know that.“Hey, I was expecting you and couldn’t mind-link with you,” she said.“I wanted some time to myself,” I answered.“Why? What’s wrong?” she asked.“Raven, can you please leave me alone,” I frowned.“Definitely something has happened,” she said and pulled a seat next to me,”I sighed, feeling overwhelmed that I needed to explain everything to her.“So tell me what happened between you and Xander,”I looked at her, I couldn't say it as soon as she asked and I found it so uncomfortable to share what Xander said to me. I think it should stay between us.“Come on, don’t be stubborn. I can help you. I’m actually good at giving advice,” she said.I am hesitant but I don’t have a choice. I have to say it to someone so that I can come out of these thoughts.Maybe Raven will give me the solution I need.“What do you think about Xander?” I questioned.“What? Be s
Alder’s POV“Where are you going?” Frank asked.“I’m going to see Sirena. I heard that she’d returned home,” I said, happily. I know this distance must have brought the change that he wanted to see in her.“Alder, it’s not a good idea. Last time, they told us not to come there anymore and it’s better if we stay away from their pack and not create any unwanted problems,”“I don’t care, Frank. I want to see Sirena and nothing can stop me,”“I know, but you’re not seeing the consequences,” he said.“Frank, you don’t understand what I’m going through right now,” I frowned, “She’s away from me for a very long time, I’m afraid she will forget about me altogether. Her father will go to any extreme to get rid of me from her life,”“But you can’t go to an unwelcome place. You’re an Alpha, have you forgot that,”“Yes, but more than that I want to see, Sirena,”Frank huffed, “Maybe I can find another way,”“What is it?” I questioned. Frank might have some connection and he always gives rational a
Sirena's POV"Why me?" I asked, "Why didn't our father choose you?""It's because I have a mate,” Raven pushed her hair off from her face.“You have? But you never said anything about it,” I questioned.“That’s because I thought you were not interested to hear it,”“What? No, how can you think like that?”Raven smiled, “It’s fine, now you know that I have a mate, and now you know why Father insists you marry, Xander,”I nod.“I understand but tell me who’s your mate?” I asked.For the first time, I saw Raven blushing and I would say she’s so cute.“My mate lives far away, he’s the Alpha of the Moonstone pack,” she said.“Okay, have you talked to him?”“Yes, I have. We meet whenever we get time,”“What?” I smiled. It’s surprising how she says that. Once someone finds their mate, they can’t be separated from them, the attraction is unavoidable. That’s what I felt but the people around me don’t feel the same way. Alder, Xander, Grace, and even Raven. I think, I don’t know how to control m
When Alder heard of the marriage news, he’d completely lost his hope. He has come to the realization that he can’t have her again and it hurts him in the most grotesque way. Ever since he heard that news, he didn’t leave his seat in his office and kept looking blankly outside the window. He’s sorrowful but he couldn’t do anything about it. His days with her were gone, and her feelings for him had been fading out.He’s sitting here in his pack and worrying about the fate of his newfound love. The irony is, that her love ended when his love is about to start. She gave up on them and that’s when he started to believe the bond they shared and saw her worth.Why he had to end up in this mess where he couldn’t get over his feelings?The fact that she loved him more than anyone just a few months ago feels like a miracle. Now he’s waiting for each moment for that miracle to happen again. Will it happen? Is he lucky enough for such a miracle?Sirena’s POVMarriage, Marriage, and marriage. I hav
Sirena’s POVI looked at the wolf, he’s so majestic. I can’t help but go closer to him to touch his wolf for the first time. His name is Ares. Lulu is admiring the masterpiece in admiration. The dark brown fur and the red eyes were dazzling in the moonlight. I felt the warmth of Ares on my skin.Lulu wanted me to shift but I didn’t do it. This wasn’t the time for them to have a romantic moment so I stood away from him.He shifted back to his human form. I stared at his half-naked frame momentarily and smiled to see him.“I didn’t expect you would climb up like this,” I muttered.“Didn’t you expect it?” he asks.“No,” I nodded and went to look down to see if someone had been noticing all this.“I’m sorry if I’ve startled you. I don’t want to ask your father’s permission, this way is much better, you know,” he reasoned.I smiled. More than me, Lulu is so eager to talk to him. I looked at him with a smile, I don’t know why I feel happy to see him.“How was your trip?”“It was great and I
When Xander entered the house the next morning, he went to the bedroom. He was startled to see the absence of Melody.When he heard the water running in the bathroom, he sighed in relief and waited for her to come out.So many thoughts ran wild in his head in a few minutes.Why is she awake at this time? Did she leave the house when I was away? If she has gone out, for what? To meet Alder?Sirena often wondered what was going on behind her back. Has she started to dig into the past? His heart raced in angst each moment to think about when his lies would all fall apart. Xander is afraid of all little things.Sometimes he thinks it’s better if she finds out everything. But, at the other times, he’s so afraid to hurt her.Truth always comes with trouble and living a lie is much easier, he had been doing that for many years. She came out and looked surprised to see her husband.“You came back?” she smiled.“Yes, did you sleep well?”“You woke up early today, what happened?” he questions.
Xander’s POVOn the day, Sirena decided to leave the pack. I lied to her that I wasn’t in the pack. The truth is I was here. I canceled my trip just to stop her from getting away. That time, her father wasn’t in the pack and nothing could stop her.I still vividly remember every word we spoke. I chased her when she was about to cross the border.“Melo, you can’t do this,” I held her hand firmly.“Leave my hand, Xander, or else I don’t know what I will do,” she yelled and I was so scared of her at that moment. Melody isn’t like Sirena. She was brave and never afraid to speak her mind. She never wanted a man, she’s happy with her own company and all men of my age were attracted to her witty charms. She’s brilliant, even now.“Leaving the pack doesn’t change anything,”“Why do you want me to stay here? For your selfish desires, I can’t die. If you’re really in love with me, then come with me. We can travel around the world, settle somewhere far away,”“You know, I can’t do that,” I said,
Xander’s POVI felt something was wrong that night when I left the house. I saw the look in her eyes, it felt like she was hiding something. That wasn’t my Sirena. That reminded me of Melody. Like she knows something about me but she’s waiting for the right moment to escape from me again. The fear inside me keeps my brain on fire. The past often comes in flashbacks before my eyes and I know that I’m not how I portrayed to Sirena. I’m not as good as she thinks. I married her because I wanted to be the Alpha. I deny it to others but that’s the reason I’m here.I loved Melody but that’s not only enough for her to stay with me. It all started like this, a ghost haunting, a terrible future that starts to appear in her dreams, and her obsession with her future becomes erratic.It’s a long story, about how I fell in love with Melody.From my childhood, she was with me. She was there when I lost my mother, she was there when I was lonely, and she was there when I had nothing by my side. She’
Alder’s POVShe looks beautiful, the woman I wished to spend the rest of my life with. She was in front of me but I couldn’t do anything to keep her with me. I don’t deserve her yet I wanted her so badly.My heart aches, and I don’t know what to say to convince her.I want her to understand me and I have this irresistible urge to keep her with me. I even have this thought to abduct her but… that would ruin everything. Once she found out about Xander, she would eventually return to me. I’m the only person she will look for when she needs help. I have to give her that assurance.“How did you speculate that Xander schemed all this? You don't even know us,” she asks me.This is the time to tell the big truth.“I know everything about you and Xander before you even came to my pack,”“You know that I was in a relationship with Xander?”“Yes, I saw you both one time when I sneaked into your pack. From the moment I landed my eyes on you, I knew that you were my mate but before I could come an
“Turn around and ask him,” Killian said.Sirena looked surprised to hear that and she turned to see the man after a long time. It actually feels like ages.“How are you, Sirena?” he asks with a smile on his face. Even though she doesn’t get a chance to meet him often, she hears about him from others. And one such thing she heard recently is that he’s going to get married by the end of this year.She doesn’t feel sad or happy for him. It bothered her a little. She wishes not to meet him again and make herself uncomfortable and confused. She wants to forget him as if he doesn’t exist. However, he finds a way to come after her.If Xander finds out all this, she’s going to be in trouble. She didn’t greet Xander and showed her discomfort on her face.“You’ve put me in trouble,” she said to Killian.“I told you, you’re already in trouble, Sirena,” he reminded her and she looked at Alder wondering whether she should talk to him.“Hi, Alder,” she greeted him.“I’ll meet you later,” Killian tr
Sirena took a step back and she started to get that anxiety again. The sudden doubt had created a havoc in her feelings.“You’re confusing me and this is hard to believe,” she said.“I’m not. I’m putting some sense in you,”“Okay, what else? Are you saying that he tried to kill me?”“Maybe, I don’t know what happened between you and him on the day you vanished?”“Xander wasn’t in the pack when I ran away,”“No, he was here and he knows what happened to you,” he said and Sirena didn’t know what to say. The way it feels unacceptable made her realize how much she trusted Xander.She can’t even think about it that he could’ve lied to her. Maybe that’s why he was so upset when she tried to know the truth. He’s so afraid that I will find out everything.Lulu didn’t ask her to stop nor told her that this all could be a lie. They weren't speculation, they felt like the truth.Understanding that she’s breaking, Killian added more details to his claim.“He married you, clearly with the intentio
After Xander left for the night watch, Sirena got ready to leave, she didn’t tell anything to Xander as she promised him that she wouldn’t do anything to find out about the past. If she told his about this, he would’ve stopped her by his sweet talk. It’s better if she keeps things away from Xander like Lulu said.Surprisingly Lulu asked her to go and meet Killian. Her approval has made Sirena feel less guilty about this.When situations lead to one straight way, then there’s nothing wrong with going on it. She looked around the house, making sure that no one is watching her. There’s this feeling that she’s going to get caught. When she does something with extra caution, it always ends as a blunder. For her safety, she tucked a knife in her sleeves.After meeting Priscilla, she didn’t feel any ghost presence beside her. The house is so silent that she feels like it could almost engulf her.She locked the door behind her and walked towards the southern borders. She took Xander’s shawl f
“Stop kissing me or else I can’t leave you,” Xander complained, sweetly.“Don’t leave me then,”“Are you serious?”“Yes, I’m damn serious,” he smiled and pulls her closer and they fell on the bed. He started to kiss all over her face and she giggled to feel the itch of his mustache and beard.He pauses only when she stops him. She looked into his eyes and she admired him at that moment.“I love you, Xander,”Those words came from the depths of her heart. It’s the only thing on her mind.“I love you more,” he said. She didn’t tell him anything else. She wants this moment to last forever because she doesn’t know whether she’ll feel this way again, and this is more special to her.“Wish I had never met Alder and wasted my time. You should’ve come to me earlier,” he smiles.“You wouldn’t have taken my hand and wouldn’t have agreed to take my hand if all those things didn’t happen. You married me because you had no choice,” he said.Sirena thought for a moment, what he said was the truth.
Xander comes in when she is in her thoughts.“Hey, have you finished?”“Yes, it’s over,” she said and looked at him with a smile on her face.“Good, let’s go and get a cup of coffee,” he said and reached out his hand.She went to grab it with great enthusiasm.“Are you alright?” he asks.“Yes, I am,” she showed him her big smile to convince him. They went to the cafeteria. Not crowded and a few people greeted Xander.They settled down after ordering a cappuccino.“Hey, what’s going on?”“What?” she shrugged as if she had no clue.“I can feel that you’re confused and sad inside. Remember that you’re my mate now,” he reminded her, “I can sense everything that you’re going through,”He held her hand as a moral support and she almost fell for it.She smiled.“Don’t you dare tell him the truth,” Lulu warned her.“It’s just… you know the things that’s happening lately worry me a little. But I’m fine,” she reassured him.“Okay. I’m thinking we must go on a trip next week. Your father will be
