The evening breeze blew through the curtains of the window and I looked at the chandelier on the top. The moonlight crept in all the corners of the room and I felt so alone this evening. I don’t want to get out of this bed, nor leave this room but I have to. As a Luna and the wife of Alpha Alder of the Shadow Pack, I need to fulfill my duties that were given to me. I married Alder three years back; this marriage and relationship is nothing but a prison for me. I feel like a prisoner, I can’t do or express anything that’s on my mind. I can’t blame Alder; he never wanted me and I entered his life as an unwelcoming guest. It will always be that way. Even though we are mates, our marriage didn’t happen out of love, it occurred because of the compulsion, at least for him. I married him believing he got some interest in me, and thought we were going to be like the rest of the wolves who got married but in reality, we aren’t. Alder is the meaning of perfection, he’s like a dream for every
Sirena’s POV “Then let’s divorce, I don’t want this anymore,” I said to Alder. He didn’t expect such a reply from me and I could see how surprised he was. Why did he never anticipate such a moment, don’t he know if love isn’t there, no relationship can survive. How can he think that I will be with him even after all this? He's so selfish that I can understand. It hurts to think that he’s going to be happy by this decision but I am heartbroken. I know what I have decided isn’t something simple, I can’t regret this later on because that would hurt me more than anything. Instead of living with my mate who didn’t love me, it’s better to leave, I think. Nothing is worse if you love someone so deeply and you’re not loved back in the same way, at least treated in the proper way. Right now, holding onto him is so hard and I wanted to run away from this suffering. Lulu was right and it’s time to change my life. “A-are you sure?” Alder asked.“Yes, I am sure,” I don’t know why, I felt like t
Sirena’s POV“Your father said you might refuse to come back and it’s okay,”“Really?” I asked. “Yes, but you have to accept being the general manager of our pack’s business,” Delus said. Now I see that my father won’t leave me that easily. He has plans for me and I am not going to fulfill any of that.The Red moon pack owns the Imperial group and it’s one of the richest and powerful packs. My father has clearly made things easy for me, he must have known that one day I would be in this situation. I felt bad to accept such an offer.“Not only that, your father wanted your complete perseverance and bring the expected profit,” he said.“What?”“If you don’t accept for this then he said his army will attack the Shadow pack,”“What? Are you joking?”“No, not at all. Your father waited patiently for three years for you. If you weren’t a part of the Shadow pack he would have attacked it long before,”“Why?”“Because he doesn’t like Alder. He has broken your heart and often ruin the peace a
Sirena’s POV “What the hell are you doing?” Alder hurriedly took Grace in his arms. Seeing that made me furious. I knew without his invite she won’t be here and they are back together. Not even a day has passed since we got divorced. I can’t believe how desperate Alder is. He’s been waiting for the perfect time for all these days. He must know that she’s back and they must have seen each other in private yesterday. Now she’s back, that’s why he easily agreed for the divorce, he doesn’t want me anymore. I feel disgusted by all of this. He said I am shameless but the truth is, he’s shameless in all levels. I can’t believe how I lived with him for the past three years. He’s not the man I wanted in my life. I hate him so much and I saw the same revulsion in his eyes. “He again misunderstood us,” Lulu said seeing the look on Alder’s face. “I don’t care, Lulu. It’s not the first time he misunderstood us. He can touch anyone, love anyone and do anything he wants. I am no longer going to m
Alder’s POVI am stunned to hear everything that Sirena said, still I am confused what to believe. I looked at Grace. Her eyes didn’t reflect the honesty that Sirena’s eyes did. I never thought Grace would lie to me. “You have once again failed to see the truth,” Benau mocked me. I felt guilty and wanted to chase after Sirena to apologize for what I have said this morning.As I stepped to leave, Grace stopped me and held my hand. “Don’t go after her,” she said. Now I see what’s Grace’s actual feelings are. As a friendly gesture I met her yesterday as she’s been away for the past three years. But Grace’s intention is appalling. “Why I shouldn’t go after Sirena?” I ask. She blinked and I can see that she’s embarrassed. “Looks like what Sirena said was true,” Grace stared at me, she couldn’t say anything for quite some time.She couldn’t hide the truth anymore and I demanded the truth from her.“I am sorry for what I did,” she said. “So, you drugged me last night,” he shouted in an
Sirena’s POVI frowned as I made my way out of the Shadow pack. I regret coming here and I couldn’t get my things.“It’s better that you didn’t take anything from there,” Lulu said, “You will be reminded of the past,”I chuckled, “I will remember all the days I have spent here. It’s not something that I can easily forget or take it out of my memories,” I said to her.As I am walking aimlessly on the streets, a car stopped in front of me again. I thought it must be someone from the shadow pack as I haven’t crossed the border yet. But it’s someone else, and I have never seen this type of car in the shadow pack. There’s I realized it must be my father’s men.“Ms. Sirena, your father wants me to take you to the pack’s hotel. Please get in the car,” the driver said.I just got in without any second thoughts. I have nowhere else to go and I want to get out of here.The car moved through the busy roads, I got lost in my thoughts and I didn’t cry after such a heartbreak. I thought I am a se
Sirena’s POVThe next morning, I woke up when the sun rays dangled over my eyelids. I squinted and then slowly looked at the window. The mountains and the forest looked vivacious. I wish to run aimlessly in the damp mud and sleep on the prickling grass. I smiled and thought this feels heavenly. I slept well last night as there’s no stressful thoughts kept me awake or the feeling that I am unloved wasn’t there. Even though Alder is in my mind, I don’t feel the same way I used to be.I feel new, I feel fresh and I feel free.I walked into the bathroom, took off my clothes and had a nice relaxing bath. It feels heavenly as I stayed in the hot water.I got ready in the clothes that were in the wardrobe, I am surprised that how perfectly it fits me. Raven must know everything. As I was looking at myself in the mirror, someone knocked on the door. I opened it to see my father and step-mother Allison. My father hugged me as soon as he saw me. It's strange that Alder got his name as his middl
Alder’s POV Frank returned to the pack house, I was eagerly waiting to know where’s Sirena and has she spent the night safely. I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about her. I felt remorseful, upset and all sorts of guilty feeling. She needs a place and I let her be alone. Though we are divorced, I promised to protect her and I’ll do it no matter what happens between us. “What happened? Where is she?” I questioned as soon as he came inside. “I couldn’t find here anywhere,” “What?” I frowned. “Have you asked Louisiana?”“Yes, I did. She doesn’t know,” “Someone must have seen her, ask them,” “Yes, you’re right. She left in an unidentified car. I don’t know who took her,” “Are you telling me that she was kidnapped?” “I don’t know,” he calmly answered. “Frank, you don’t have to take this matter seriously,” I said. “Okay,” Frank nodded which instantly frustrated me. He isn’t acting up efficiently in this matter. “Frank, do you realize this situation? My mate is missing, no one
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
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
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
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
Why do I feel like Sirena is never going to come back? What if she is never going to come back? I asked myself.“She’s not going to come back, that’s the reality,” Benau frowned. “And you better move on,” Benau said and Alder didn’t listen to that advice. He’s now in the phase of desperation and hearing news that Sirena is happily enjoying her married life makes his blood boil. He’s getting a lot of information regarding her personal life. Grace came here yesterday and said that Sirena has completely moved on.“You know what, Alder? This is how destiny works. There’s no place for you in her life and Xander has no place in my place. We are meant to be together, let’s get married soon,” she said.“No way, that’s going to happen. I’m not going to marry you or anyone,” he said.“You’re a fool, I have given you enough time. I don’t know how long I will be patient. Better decide something sooner,” she warned me and threw a few photos of Xander and Sirena’s being together. I looked at it, in
