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
Chapter- 9 Alder’s POV “Mother,” “Alder,” she came and hugged me. I know my mother is the happiest person now. She wanted me to divorce Sirena, she had been telling that whenever we meet. I got so frustrated to hear all those bashings and avoided to meet her. She waited for all these years to hear this news. “I am glad that you’re free now,” she said. “Mother, please,” “Don’t feel bad, Alder. You can marry Grace now. I always tell you that she’s the perfect match for you,” I rolled my eyes, “You’re wrong.,” I said. “What do you mean?”“I am not going to marry Grace or anyone,” “Why?”“Because I can’t forget Sirena,” “Have you lost your mind? You rejected her,” “Yes, I did because she asked for it but I don’t have any desire to divorce her,” She’s so surprised to hear that from me, she thought I hated Sirena. It’s not only her, everyone, including Sirena perceived that was the truth. I am a jerk, I couldn’t be truthful to anyone in my life, even to myself. I liked Sirena bu
Chapter- 10 Sirena’s POV It’s been a week since I came here. I am making myself busy with work and in the other times, I sleep and spend my time in solitude. I like this new life compared to my old one. Raven was always there to help me and I spent most of my time with her. She’s such an interesting character but she said that she learned that from me. I am surprised to know how different I was in the past. I am not that frightened girl who’s hesitant to speak up for herself. I badly wanted to remember those fifteen years that has vanished from my memories. I want to be the person that everyone admire, I want to be fearless, like melody. My past hold so many secrets, I want to know who framed me and who wanted to kill me. Someone with such an audacity drove me out of this pack. I want to know who hates me in this pack, that person could be a threat to my father and to everyone. I need to find out and get that person out of my life, that’s always in my mind whenever I meet someone
Alder’s POV Frank and I were on our usual rounds on the pack’s ground. We were silent ever since we shifted, which is so unlikely. Understanding that I am going through so many things, he kept silent. I have been avoiding everyone, I lost interest to train and my daily routine has been completely altered. I shifted back to my human self and climbed on the tree to Mahogany tree to look at the red moon pack borders My mind and heart were constantly thinking about Sirena. Her real name is Melody, she was such an outgoing, hardworking, brave and fighter when she was in the red moon pack and after leaving me, she’s doing so great now. I couldn’t take it, each moment I have been tormented by regret. I hate to be alone in the villa and in all the places where Sirena been to. If I get a chance, I will bring her back. I know Sirena will chose to come back to me. Her love isn’t simple, she can’t forget me that easily but still, I am afraid a little. When I went to their pack, Alpha James as
Sirena’s POV Sitting on the window sill, I looked at the moon. My wolf is tempted by the gracious spread of moon’s glimmer. I am not ready to shift and wander in the woods. Alder occupies my mind; he’s not letting me to move an inch. Raven said she’d sent the message to Alder and I know he will come tomorrow. Ever since I heard that, I can’t think of anything else, I am passing my time, sitting here. I can’t able to close my eyes and I am wondering what I am going to do tomorrow. I lied to my father, it’s not my nature to talk that way to my mate and I am not allowed go with him either. It’s going to be hard tomorrow but I will get through this. I got down from the window sill and walked to the bed, the time is half past two, these days I couldn’t sleep early. I got inside the comforter and closed my eyes to sleep. Suddenly I heard a whisper near my ears, “Don’t meet him tomorrow,” it said. I squinted my eyes. “Lulu is that you?” I asked. “What?” Lulu woke up and she’s so e
Alder’s POV“It’s so heart-breaking compared to when I uttered those rejection words,” Benau said.I nodded. Frank is hesitant to speak to him. Whatever he says, that might weird this situation so he remained silent.“Alder…” Frank started.“I don’t want to hear anything, Frank,” I snapped. I don’t want to hear anything from anyone. It’s just too frustrating for me to think what a fool I am.“Then I will go to the packhouse,” Frank said and walked to the other side.I walked aimlessly into the woods; my mind kept bringing the memories I shared with Sirena. There were a lot of moments, I loved her and admired her without her knowing. From now on, I can’t have her as his mate, that I understood well. I’m vexed by the thought and sat down on the rock. It hard for me to process what I heard from Sirena. I feel the pain of rejection, it’s killing me from inside.“Sirena must have felt the same way last time,” Benau said.I know I am such a monster. I never once thought about how our life wo
Sirena’s POV“I am going to France, with Xander,” I said to Raven. We both were in the cafeteria having lunch. “Okay, that’s great. Have fun,” Raven said and I didn’t expect such an answer from her.“Don’t you have anything to say?”“What do you want me to say?” “I am going to travel alone with him. Tell me about him?” “Xander is like a big brother to me. He’s very professional, you’re close with him when you were here,” Raven had a sly smile when she said that. “Close means?” she asks. “Close, that’s it. I don’t know,” Raven shrugged. I frowned to hear that. “You have to give me a proper answer,”“Sis… you’re too young. You both are like best friends,” she said. Yes, she’s right, I was too young and there’s no point in exploring that. “Okay,” I nodded. “Look, Xander is the most trusted person in this pack. You can go with him anywhere,” she said. After listening to that, I felt relieved. I think I can trust him; I no longer has any doubt over him.“I am just nervo
Sirena’s POVI got a little free time in the afternoon so I went to the cafeteria to have a cup of coffee. After ordering, I sat down in one of the empty tables and looked around. People here see me differently and I’ll smile at them to clear the awkwardness. My life history is the hot gossip in the office. Even I caught a couple of co-workers gossiping about me. I didn’t take that offending but still it’s not appropriate. They will speak for some days and then they will eventually forget about that when something else comes up.Awkwardly waiting for my coffee, I looked around. I didn’t pay attention to what the girls next to me were talking but when I heard the name Xander, I asserted my ears to hear their conversation carefully.“These days Xander looks incredibly handsome,” one of the girls said. She had a long auburn hair and looked beautiful. “I don’t think so, he’s getting old and he’s losing his charm,” the other one said. Hearing that comment, I frowned just like the other g
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
