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
Alder’s POVIn just two days, Sirena is going to get married to Xander. How can she? How can this happen? What can I do after this? How can I stop this or how can I move on from this?I couldn’t believe that was actually true so I myself crossed the borders to check if the news is true. There I saw the pack has already started celebrating their upcoming wedding. The place looked vibrant and I confirmed it when I saw a congratulatory hologram for their wedding in the middle of their pack’s assembly.Going to see Sirena is such a risky thing, even though I want to see her and talk to her badly. I had so many questions running all over my mind which stopped me from getting close to her.Questions like whether she’s accepting it wholeheartedly or is she being compelled in this.I know it’s not easy to forget the love and memories but she’d decided to move on sooner than I expected. She’s not the person to marry someone else to get revenger on me. She must’ve thought marrying Xander is a mu
Alder's POV“I rejected my mate for you and your pack,” she confessed.“What? What did you say?” I ask in complete surprise.“You heard it. I rejected my mate to be with you,” she said, “Do you think Sirena would’ve done that. It’s been only a few months since your divorce and she’s marrying someone else. This is how much she loves you,” she reasoned.But that didn’t bother me, the fact that she rejected her mate and lied to me that he had died is such a shock to me. Why she has to do that? Has she lost her mind?“Grace, why did you do that and every time I asked you to find your mate, why did you lie to me?”“Because I’m in love with you madly, and I couldn’t forget you, Alder,”“This is stupid, Grace. Even knowing that I was married to Sirena, how can you do that? This is hope had wrecked your wonderful life with your mate,”“You weren’t happy with her, have you forgot that?”“That’s none of your concern. You shouldn’t have rejected your mate. Now it’s not too late, go and find your
“Melo, is it necessary to go to Priscilla again?” No one addresses her as Sirena here and she gets used to the name Melody.“Yes, she asked me to come because this tie expires in two days,” Sirena replied.“Does this even have an expiry date? I don’t think she’s trustable,” Xander protested.When she tells him that she heard about her father, he starts to panic. The truth won’t drive her off but it will make their relationship uncomfortable. He’d worked a lot for this relationship and he doesn’t want to see this fall apart before his eyes.“Yes, I promise I won’t go after this,” she said.“Melo, you don’t have to promise me, you can do anything you want, but I’m worried that you shouldn’t lose your peace of mind over this,” he said.“I’ll keep that in mind,” she smiled.“Lenin will accompany you,” he said.Sirena nodded and came out of the house. Perhaps this is the first time she’s leaving Xander behind. She can understand how panicked he is as she keeps pursuing in this way that eve
Who was he? Is he real? He can’t be real. Out of nowhere, he came into my dreams to threaten me. He interrupted me before I could find the truth. He’s so confident and she doesn’t want to forget his face, in case he’s going to come back. She’s sure that he will come back if she keeps going after her past.“It’s a waste of time to think about that man. You got a lot more work and you have a life to live,” Lulu advised.“That’s true but can you at least help me?”“I told you, let’s go to Priscilla, do it again, and let’s find whether he comes again. You don’t have to worry much,” she said.Sirena nodded and went to clean her wardrobe. It’s all messy. Her father has gone out to a trip with his wife.The entire pack is less crowded and the silence is too much to handle. She puts on music and starts to do the Job. Xander came home after buying groceries for the dinner. She saw him standing by the door and looking at her.His face lit up in a big smile.“You came, I’ll prepare dinner,” she
“Xander,” she said softly.“Yes,” he looked at her.“Are you not going to ask me anything?”“What should I ask?”“What I saw?”“You saw what you needed and I’ve nothing else to say. You left the pack and I’m the reason for it too,”“I got to know that and Xander why do you love me so much?”He smiles, “Did you hear our conversation?”“Yes, I did. You and I have loved so much. We should’ve been mates,”“We are nothing less now. No one can separate us,” he smiles.“I haven’t told you this before,”“What?” he kissed her forehead.“I love you, Xander and I feel so lucky to have you in my life,” she confessed.He felt so elated to hear that.“Don’t make me lose my control,” he said, “And you know I love you more,”“Yes, I know from here,” she said pointing to her chest.“Go to sleep. Don’t think about anything,”“Are you not going to ask me?”He smiles, “If you’re going to leave, you wouldn’t be calm like this,” he said.He understands me so well. That’s why we always end up together even
Sirena has been preparing to go to the mountains since the sun has set. Priscilla has sent her a message that she had arranged for the ritual. It’s been two days since she came back from the last visit and strangely she didn’t meet with any ghost sightings. She slept peacefully without much worry and she believed that Priscilla’s spell worked. There's a lot of chance she could’ve seen the ghost since Xander left her alone in the night but she didn’t hear any strange noises.She told Xander everything, and he’s quite relieved that she didn’t get to know anything about him. He said that he’ll accompany her to that place. He got curious too but he didn’t show it on his face.“Ready?” Xander asks and looks at his beautiful wife who has a sudden interest in finding her past.He doesn’t know what to say other than simply agreeing to her needs.“Yes, let’s go,” she smiled widely and held his hand.“If you’re going to find something hideous about your family, will you continue to stay here?”
Sirena came out of the house and saw Lenin waiting for her.“Is everything alright, Ma’am,”“She is alright,” Priscilla answered for her.“Shall we leave?”“Yes,” Sirena nodded and looked at Priscilla and gave her money.“I don’t need this,”“Then, what do you want?”“I’ll ask for my payment once everything is over,” she said.Sirena nodded and made her way into the forest.“Let’s shift and go into the forest,” Lenin said.“No, I want to walk for a few miles. You can go if you want,” she said.“Nope, I have to accompany you,” he said and followed her.“Have you tried magic before? Do you have any experience in this?” she asks him.“A couple of times, it doesn’t work in my case. But I know many have found a solution by coming here,”“Is she famous?”“Yes, it was a little crowded but since someone your rank was coming, she asked the commoners to come by tomorrow,” Lenin said.“Oh, I should’ve thanked her for that,”“You don’t have to until what she promised to do happens. Sometimes magi
“Do you know my mother?”“Yes,” Priscilla nods.“How? What she asked to you?”“She came here when she was pregnant with you. She just asked me whether she would have a safe pregnancy but I told her that she wouldn’t be alive to see her daughter grow and that’s what happened. She was so upset like you when I said it but at the end of her journey she must’ve understood my words were true,”Ever since Sirena started talking to Priscilla, she got to learn a lot of things and her eyebrows raise as she learned about all the new things. It might be all a fabrication as everyone in the pack knows her story. She must’ve made up this story after knowing about everything.Perhaps Priscilla is good at this and honest with her. She doesn’t know and one thing is sure that she was going to come here often after this.“What else I asked?”“You wanted to know whether you’ll be happy?”“And what did you say?”“I told you, you’ll have a mixed life, ups and downs were inevitable,”“It’s in everyone’s lif
The name Priscilla gave her an image of a young shaman, but she had no idea how she’d look. For her safety, she took a knife and tucked it inside her coat. In this pack, there are a few shamans other than Priscilla but they are all bogus as per Raven’s study.Priscilla is good compared to the other, especially in finding the future. Xander gave her a departing kiss and walked away to carry on his pack’s duty. Sirena waited for Lenin, alone in the house.“Lulu, do you think, I’m not listening to any of your advice?” Sirena questions.It snorted. “Yes, of course. You’re such a brat. But it’s fine that you wanted to find out the important life events. You have to know everything before coming to conclusions,” Lulu said.“Yes, that’s right, but more than that, I want to know if this is my home. I got married and I’m living a happy life with Xander but in the past, Melody was also in the same situation. I don’t think anyone has driven her out. It would be her choice but why did she even le
The one thing she noticed after becoming Xander’s wife is, that he had gradually decreased his contact with his father, she couldn’t understand why, perhaps this is how they were from the very start.Sirena unlocked the door and walked inside, she’s scared a little to go back there, even Xander asked her not to go home without him being around her but where else she can go? She had to come back to this place now or later. She can go around the streets of their pack but she’s too shy and anxious about it. What Raven said came to her mind that she knows a shaman and she can help her with this ghost haunting. Sirena wanted to try that as a last option.If people aren’t going to help her then she has to trust the spirits. She looked around and took her phone and she called Raven to get the whereabouts of that Shaman.“Hi, Raven,”“How are you sister?” she asked in her cheerful tone.“I’m good, Raven. Am I disturbed you?”“No, what’s the matter? I thought I should call you today and you di
Sirena opened the door, and Xander’s mom’s picture that was hanging on the wall welcomed her. She walked in and looked around the room, the door closed on its own, and it jumped-scared her.“What’s going on here?” Lulu frowned.“Let me out, I will take care of this,”“No, I’ll handle this,” Sirena said.She looked around the room, “Hello, you can talk to me instead of trying to scare me away, we are alone,” she said in her low voice.Suddenly she could see the foggy ghostly figure in front of her. She tried to reach out to it but it passed right through her.“What do you want? You can’t just play around me,” she said.“If you’re not going to tell me what you want, then I might find a way to stop you from getting close to me,” she said.“You wanted me to get out of this place? You asked me not to marry Xander, who are you?”“It doesn’t matter, you must leave this place and never come back. This isn’t your place,” it said.“I don’t understand, what are you saying? Why should I leave?” s
