Frank entered Alder’s office when he was looking into documents.“What?” he asked with a frown.“You won't believe who’s here,”“Who?”“Sirena’s father,”Frank said and I stood up from my chair.“What? Alpha Alder,”“Yes, and Xander is here too,”“Why they are here?”“I guess they are here to invite you,”“Invite me for?“Raven’s wedding,”“Oh,” Frank nodded and prompted to go and welcome them. They were in the waiting room. They were served with tea and biscuits but they didn’t touch it.Alder greeted them formerly and sat opposite them.“It’s a pleasure to have you in my place Alpha Alder,”“Pleasure is all mine, I came here to invite you to my daughter’s wedding,” he said.The way they have the same name has a long history. If his father was here then this situation wouldn’t have occurred. When Alpha Alder got to know that Sirena was in the shadow pack, he rushed to see his daughter. He got so pissed off that why his friend didn’t tell him that his only daughter is here and she got
It was Raven’s wedding; they were all overjoyed by the back-to-back celebrations after a long time and they’d invited many people even the ones they missed inviting to Sirena’s wedding. It’s crowded compared to Sirena and Xander's wedding. The wedding decorations were the epitome of grandeur. Her father spent a few shares of his wealth for both of his daughter’s wedding. He wants everyone to speak about it at least for a few years.Sirena got ready in her braid’s maid dress and watched her sister. Now she understood the pain of being a bridesmaid.She had to take care of everything. It’s only a month before she got married and now it's her sister.She can’t help but wonder how this one month has passed. It’s true that when you’re sad you’ll feel like the time is moving too slowly and when you’re happy it moves too fast. In this one month, she had a lot of beautiful memories with Xander which she won’t even forget until her last breath.Marrying Xander is the best decision she ever mad
Raven left the pack after her wedding, it was hard to bit her goodbyes. She’s such a great sister and a daughter. Everyone is going to miss her for sure. Her visits to the pack will be limited from now on and she can’t be here whenever she wished and that kind of saddened Sirena.The only comfort she has other than Xander is Raven. If she’s gone, how will she cope when Xander is also not here? Sirena had That one big question but knew life would never be the same as she wanted. If she had to leave for a better future then as her sister, she had to support her decision and her growth.Sirena felt difficult for the first few weeks after Raven left and Xander made sure that she wasn’t feeling lonely. Being with Xander makes her life much better. She doesn’t feel lonely when she is with him.This is the vacation time for the pack so the wolves used to go to meet their distant relatives. Xander decided to take Sirena for a honeymoon this time. Usually, he wouldn’t go out of the pack at thi
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
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
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
“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
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 who’s the reason I’m here?” she asks Alder.“My father,” she said when he took a moment to answer her.“I thought it was Xander,” he said.“Yes, he’s the second on the list, but my father caused all the mishaps in my life,” she said.“In that, he’s advising me to be calm. Just for the sake of living in his pack, I have to endure all the cruelty that is inflicted on me. Do you know what’s even more cruel, I shouldn’t even question why they were doing this?”“What more can you expect from a father who’s ready to sacrifice you for his safety,”“He’s not my father, I’ve come to that decision,”“That’s understandable,” agreed.“Where I’m on that list? The list of people who ruined your life,” he questions.“You’re in the fifth place,”“Oh, I thought I would be the third,” he said.“No, you’re not. Grace takes third place, and your mother is next,” she said.“Is the fifth place forgivable?”“I don’t know,” she shrugged. Alder smiles, he feels like there’s a possibility.“It’s w
As Alder cooks dinner, Sirena stares outside, she never thought she would be in this situation. Life throws surprises at her constantly. She got ready to have dinner with him on the table. They haven’t come up with a proper plan yet.They had dinner silently and Sirena felt something in the pit of her stomach to see him next to her.“How is it?”“Good,” she smiled.“Really, I’m not a great cook,”“That I can taste but it’s not too bad,” she said.He watched her sympathetically and there was love in him. He wishes he could marry her again and be with her all his life but it won’t happen unless she trusts him again. Maybe there’s a chance and he’s not the one who could control that. It’s entirely in her hands. Only if her mind changes, she will think about being with them. No matter what he does, it’s all in her heart.With a heavy heart, he puts a smile on his face.“I’ll clean the dishes,” Sirena said.She now feels like they were a couple. He stood beside her without leaving her alon
The day passed, and Sirena was cleaning and dusting the house. She realized that going back to the pack was a stupid idea. She shouldn’t go back; it would jeopardize all her plans, and take away her peace, or even her life. So, there’s no other choice but to stay in this place for some months. Alder said he’ll leave in one or two days because he doesn’t want to fall under any suspicion. She had to stay here alone.That’s great because she can be free and she can do anything.“What do you want to eat for dinner?”“Anything, I’m exhausted,” she said.“Okay, I’ll cook,”“You’ve all the supplies in the fridge and freezer. If you want anything you can call me, there’s a phone,” he pointed to the shelf.“Sure,” she nodded and lay on the couch.Alder prepared a steak and some veggies. She watched him with a tint of surprise in her eyes. He’d never cooked or acted this nice to her when she was with him. This is really surprising that Alder has a side like this.He’s so considerate. How can a
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
