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
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
