Sirena’s POVI came out of the pack’s house and made my way to the borders. I don’t know why I’m going there and what’s the point of seeing my previous home, but somehow it makes me think about so many things.I’ve accepted the wedding because of that. Maybe it’s hard for me to move on and it wouldn’t be as hard as for him because his love is volatile. It happened only now and his feelings will go away if he tries. He must’ve moved on by now, his mother and Grace were such skilful people who must’ve brainwashed him already. They must’ve convinced him that he’s going to be happy and it would be the best for their life and pack. Made him believe that Grace will bring all the happiness back if he marries her.That must be the reason why he turned completely silent after she rejected him. How stupid I was, to still love him, cry for him, and yearn that I couldn’t live the life that I’ve imagined to live with him.Everything haunts me every day.Alder hadn’t crossed the borders at least onc
Sirena’s POVI’m getting married today. It’s finally happening and I’ve no idea how to react. I stood there silently while Raven did my makeup.“You can smile a little. It’s a big day for you,” she advised.“I’m happy. I’m in a little shock,”“Look, in your life I think this is the best decision you ever made after you decided to leave Alder,” she said.I don’t know how far that’s true and I just smiled. I’m wearing a simple white gown for the wedding which I chose the other day. Xander hasn’t spoken to me since morning and I’ll talk to him after this every day, move in with him and sooner or later I’ll start to act like a good wife.I always wanted to be a good wife and a wonderful mom to my children. It’s all when I was married to Alder. Now I don’t want to hold onto that thought. I just want to take things slow and I want to be happy and calm as always.With a smile on my face, I looked at myself in the mirror. I look beautiful as always and I heard Alder was invited to the wedding.
Xander’s POVIt was a beautiful morning, I woke up lying next to my wife, my best friend, and the love of my life. Sirena. She’s sleeping forgetting this entire world and all her worries. She’s dazzling as the sun's rays fall upon her skin.I don’t want the sun to disturb my wife’s peaceful sleep. I went to close the curtains. I did and lay next to her again. Last night after the marriage, she looked tired and greeted the guests who came there to their wedding.I don’t know what was going on in her mind, I sensed that her wolf Lulu seemed happy about the wedding but she didn't look that happy. Alder’s presence had confused her or else she would be happy as well.I didn’t take it seriously because I can understand her heart. She’s finding it difficult to forget Alder. He doesn’t feel possessive about it. He waited for her for all these years patiently for her. I was hoping immensely that she would come back to him. It’s finally happened, what he manifested. He knew she would love him th
Sirena’s POVI locked myself inside the bathroom and my heart drum rolled inside me. I couldn’t process what just happened. He kissed me and I’m again a wife to someone I barely know.The only difference is last time, I was married to someone who doesn’t love me but this time, I’m quite lucky. I smiled because it’s beautiful to be loved by someone instead of pouring your love on someone who can’t reciprocate it.This makes me feel special and I want to explore more.“Get ready soon, stop dreaming,” Lulu said, “And then kiss him when you get a chance,”“I wouldn’t do that,” I said.“Why not? Don’t you feel anything for him?”“Don’t tempt me,”“Come on, have fun,” Lulu encouraged.“I’ll but not now,” I said and took the new brush to brush my teeth. Replaying the events that happened yesterday and today were kept coming back to my thoughts. I’m married to someone else and I’m no longer in the place to love someone else other than Xander. From the eyes of others, I’ve moved on from Alder.
Sirena’s POV“Are you kidding me?” he laughed.“Do I look like I’m joking,”“I don’t know,” I said and got curious to know it.Lulu is silent, perhaps she must’ve remembered something she didn’t utter a word yet.“Is there anything you are hiding from me?” he smiles.“There are a lot, be specific,” he said and my eyes got wider. Why he didn’t tell me all this before marriage? But what difference is it going to make?“I thought and looked at him for answers. Please, tell me,”“Were we in love before I left this pack?”“We were lovers. Not that what you had with Alder. We were both in love and passionate,”“Really?”“Yes,”“Why you didn’t tell me before?”“Because I don’t think it’s no use. It’s all in the past that you don’t remember anymore,”“That right,” I said and he knelt in front of me.“But I wish to know everything that happened between us,” I said and he’s already took my hand in his hand.Then it went to my neck. Goose pimples spread all over my skin and he looked ready to dev
Xander’s POVWhat holds me back from getting close to her? I want her and she’s right next to me as my wife. I can have her presence, I can be with her anytime I want.“You need to be patient to achieve great things,” Ares advised as I stared at Sirena. She needs that time as well. She needs a lot of time to accept me.I’ve waited for all these years but when she’s next to me, I get impatient.We decided to spend some days at my parent's house the second night after our wedding as per Sirena’s wish. No one is around and the place is so calm. The rain is drizzling outside and I’m standing by the French window near the living room and looking outside. The day went as we went to the shrine and prayed to the old deities. We even took lunch with us and had a wonderful day. We talked and explained about our pack’s tradition which she’d forgotten.When she was Melody, she knew everything, even the things that I didn’t know. She’s such an adventurous freak. Climb all the seven hills near our p
Sirena’s POVHe sat next to me and I asked him one question that kept nudging me.“Xander, Raven said you did many things while I was in Shadow Pack. She said that you were protecting me, is that true?”“What else she said to you?”“Only this. I was so confused about marrying you. She told me that you’re a good person and I must marry you,”He smiles.“Did she convinced you to marry me?”“No, it was you. The way you assured me that everything is going to be fine, that convinced me. You’re good at that,”“Thank you,”“I’ve to thank you,” I said and kissed his cheek. This is the first time I initiated something on him. I guess the marking has starts to work. It’s bringing her close to me.“You must tell me what you did for me,”“Is that really important now?”“Yes,” I nod.“Those things must stay away. Past shouldn’t change how you feel about me. It shouldn’t be reason for you to love me and I want you to know me on your own,” he was persistent.“Come on. Do you think past won’t change m
Sirena’s POV“What do you mean?” I ask.“They didn’t let me reach out to you, even your father but I came to see you a lot of times. I’ve given my best to be your comfort. I clearly know that you’re unhappy. The only choice I had was to wait until you came out of the pack on your own or he ended up with Grace. I always wondered why you were with him?”I looked remorsefully at him and had tears.“I’ve asked this same question to myself so many times. I don’t know why I stayed there and tried my best to get his love. It’s because I loved him from all my heart so I always wanted to give him a chance. It had become a habit. I was good to the people who took me in their pack. They weren’t fully accepted me yet they didn’t treat me bad entirely. It’s all because I always thought I’ve chance with him and he never asked me to leave the pack,”I sighed, “There are so many things, and in confusion the years have passed on,”“He’s selfish, he wanted to have everything in his control. I’m glad tha
Xander lost his mind when he got to know that Sirena was missing. He thought she just went to see Priscilla or just roaming around the pack. But when he tried to contact her and she was unreachable, he panicked. He went to Priscilla’s place, broke into the house, and saw no sign of them. He understood that they both were gone.He alerted his pack and they searched for her everywhere. He called Grace, and asked if Alder is in the pack. She told him that he’d left for a business trip, two days earlier.He couldn’t trust that so he asked Grace to check into it. Either she escaped with Priscilla, or ran away alone or Alder must’ve taken her. He doesn’t know what to do. He didn’t let her father know about this but the next day he couldn’t hide it anymore, informed her father that she’d left the pack.He was pissed off, at least in front of him. He asked Xander to leave her alone if he couldn’t find her reasoning that she didn’t deserve a life like this.Xander can’t do that, that would be
That night, she slept on the couch after eating what Alder cooked. It filled her hunger, he’s a great cook. She doesn’t have a deep sleep at all. She thought about so many things staring at the ceiling.Sirena is mentally preparing for the moment when she meets Xander. She has to lash out or else act as all good with a knife behind and just cut his throat when he starts talking lies again. With all these negative feelings, she took off her meaningless wedding ring and stuffed it inside her pocket.She’s not going to forgive him at all. She can even forgive Alder but not Xander. Last night, Alder insisted that their mate bond was cursed and that's the reason he treated them in that way. Maybe that’s true but she couldn’t accept him. The anger in her wants him to be gone and she doesn’t know what she will do if he’s gone.In her life, the men who come into her life always make her uncomfortable and confused. Either they were too sweet for her taste or too unattainable. It doesn’t feel p
Alder sat next to her after putting the things in place.“I want to go back to my pack,” she said.“You can’t,”“It’s not something that you have to decide. I want to go,”“No, that’s too dangerous,”“I don’t understand, why are you so worried? This is my problem and I know what happened. I’ll take care of it,” she said.“How can you take care of it alone? You’re being ridiculous. Xander is way ahead of us and you don’t know what he will do,”Sirena looked at him squinting her eyes. “Why did you bring me here? Who gave you that permission?”“What’s wrong with this?”“You should’ve asked me,”“You wouldn’t have agreed to come with me,”“That’s right. If only you’d asked me in a good way. I would’ve agreed. But you will never do it because you don’t respect me as a wolf. When I was with you, you treated me like your slave just like what you’re doing now,” she said.“So, what? We both have the same intention,” he replied.She stared at him, he’s not understanding the problem. He’s never
Sirena woke up when she felt like she was being shaken and moving. She opened her eyes and saw she was in the car’s back seat. She couldn’t move her limbs for a moment and felt like this was a dream. The last thing she remembers is being in Priscilla’s house. Now she’s here in this car.Gritting her teeth, she got up from the seat and looked at the driver. To her surprise, it was Alder. Priscilla is on Alder’s side, and she helps him abduct her. Sirena gritted because she thought Priscilla was genuine and, on her side, but all this time, she’d worked for Alder. This is too much. How can she do this to me? She questions with anger and resentment.She stared at Alder. He looked excited and happy. Even though they had broken their mate’s bond, she could feel his emotions. She’d admired him a lot in the past, so it’s easy to study his face.“You woke up,” he said sensing her breath closer to him.“What the hell are you doing?” she questions in her hoarse voice.“Can’t you see, I'm taking
After shifting, Lulu made her way to Priscilla's house, and it was the only way Sirena was going to feel alright. The place is quiet as usual. To her surprise, Priscilla wasn’t there at home. She didn’t answer the door. It’s empty. Her garden is untouched and the herbs weren’t watered.She stayed there for some time and she felt there was no sign of her. She decided to leave feeling something wasn’t right. Suddenly she heard a click in the ground, she turned and looked at the house. It came from the inside and she peered inside the window.She can make out a frame in the dark, that’s lying on the ground. She can’t help but think that’s Priscilla and she must be lying there dead or unconscious. That’s a wild assumption yet she doesn’t want to leave without checking on her.She went to the door, and using all her strength, she hit it with her shoulders. She did that several times, but only her shoulders hurt.“Even if you try all day, it won’t open,” Priscilla’s voice came from behind.
As he entered the house, he saw Sirena in the kitchen, cooking dinner for him, unaware that he had been with Grace all this time.“Why are you so late?” she asks.He gave the flowers and kissed her lips. She looked surprised and he thought she loved him too much but in reality, she was surprised to see his perfect ac.“Thanks,” she got that in her hands and kept that aside.“Go and fresh up. I’ll finish this up,” she said and he nods.After he left, Lulu asked, “Did you smell that?”“Smell what?”“He smells like Grace. Her perfume smell coming mildly from her,” Lulu said.Sirena sighs. It makes her heart heavy. She can’t help but have tears to think that she’s too unlucky.“Are you okay?”“Yes, I’m fine,” she nodded and wiped the tears that slid down to her cheeks.“Do you have to do this?”“Yes,”“You don’t have to go through this. Just leave all this behind,”“Where else can I go?”“Anywhere, you got some cash in your hand. You can go far away and start anew,”“They will find me,” s
The truth is always bitter, no matter how much you try to change, it comes out at unexpected times, making it hard to digest. Xander carefully constructed all the lies unaware that it’s falling apart on the other side. He tried not to get caught and did everything carefully but fate had other plans for him.After meeting Grace, Xander made his way to his house. Years back, he was so afraid to go and meet Grace. He doesn’t want anyone to find out about his secret relationship with Grace and he had told everyone that he’d rejected her.On his way, he brought flowers for Sirena so that she didn’t complain that he cared less about her. He believed the flowers would make her forget why he was so late today. He learned this trick from Sirena’s father. He kept his affair a secret from everyone until his wife’s death but Xander had found out in the early stages itself. One time, he followed the Alpha and got to know his affair. He didn’t say that to anyone and he felt sorry for Melody who was
"Alder's mother? Do you know her?""Yes, I have met her a couple of times. Do you that she's related to you,""How?""She's your father's half-sister,""Really?""Yes,""She hates you for no reason because of that. Your family drama is something I can't wrap my head around,""For what she came here for?""Her son and her pack. She's worried about it more than anything,""What did you say to her? What's your prediction?""I told her that her son won’t marry anyone else if he’s not with his mate. He can’t love anyone else and her pack would be better if she didn’t include Grace,”“Did she ask anything about Grace?”“Yes, she did. I told her that she wasn’t trustworthy and her son wouldn’t marry her. Their feelings were all temporary,”“I’ sorry for being too intrusive, but how she reacted when you said that?”“She wasn’t glad and looked like she accepted her son’s fate. I asked her to maintain a healthy relationship with her step-brother or else it will lead to unnecessary problems,”“I
Priscilla can understand what she wants and this is quite dangerous.“You know, I don’t have much time. I need to know the truth.,”“What do you mean?”“I want to see what happened on the day I left. Finding it is the only solution I can think of right now,”“What if you find out that Xander isn’t trustable?”“That I can decide later but I need to know whether he’s telling me the truth,” she said.“Can you arrange the ritual real quick now?”“It could be dangerous, are you sure?”“Yes, I’m more ready right now,” she said.“Then come with me,” she said and they made their way to the back of the house. There the ritual set up was already made.“Did you set this all up?”“I didn’t take it off after that day. Actually, I won’t take it off. It will always be there and I’ll use it for all my rituals,” she said.“Okay,” Sirena shrugged.“Get inside,” Priscilla commanded, taking the ashes to fill the circle.She prepared for the ritual, and Sirena watched her with a racing heart. There’s no t
