*Roharu*"Come here," I say to her as I pull her hand and make her sit on my lap. "I need to be distracted." She kisses my forehead and sighs; I can sense her uneasiness and it makes me curious. I am still angry at the world, but I need to know she is well. "I am sorry for all this drama."She shakes her head. "Don't you dare apologize," she says and kisses my lips, grounding me. "I don't believe this. At least I don't believe all of them had something to do with this."I shake my head as I replay the words in my head over and over again. "There was no hesitation in his words."She looks at Xavier while she wraps her arm around my shoulder. "Who told you this? Who gave you this information?" She frowns and waits for an answer.How do I explain to her what was happening? How do I tell her about my plans? How do I reveal to her that I tortured and murdered others to get this information? She will see me for the true monster I have become.*Sienna*Xavier looks somber and I can underst
*Sienna*I watch Mei giggle as she tries another dress and twirls in front of the mirror. She is back to that first personality she had when I met her. I am not judging her, I am happy she allowed herself to be natural near me."I am staying with the pink one. You should wear another pink one so we can be like twins!" She laughs and I chuckle shaking my head."Maybe I like being different," I reply.She smiles and nods. "Of course, you are the Luna now. I am sorry."I shake my head and walk to her, resting my hands on her shoulders. "You have as much right to be with him as I do, if not more. You have been with him through so much hardship; I am thankful you were at his side. And I am honored you are still by his side and mine."She smiles, a glint of naughtiness hints at the possibility she was testing me. But I don't care, I hug her and feel her arms around me too. She might have two faces to show, but I have seen both and I love them equally.I look at the clock one more time, a kn
*Roharu*I rest my hand gently on Sienna's back as I look at her. "Let's dance, shall we?"Then I lead her to the center and we let ourselves go with the music; an orchestra plays current songs but in an old-style, fit for the event.-'Focus on her and make her feel relaxed. I have dealt with people like him many times before, my father being one of them. I can handle him.'- Mei Li shares with me in order for me to calm myself down. I nod a thank you to her in return.I don't like him touching her, but she is surprising him with questions that keep him talking. The best way to stroke his ego is by making him talk about his successes."I am still a bit nervous, but this gala is amazing. Why did they stop giving them?" Sienna asks and I smile at her."It is a celebration of happiness and freedom; we went through tough times and people felt a gala would be almost like an insult. I agreed," I tell her as I remember when Lady Horatia herself informed me of her decision to stop hosting thes
*Roharu*My rage is impossible to contain; as I see Sienna unconscious, laying on Mei Li's lap, I watch everyone whispering and looking as if I am the crazy one."You heard me well. I will personally hunt down each one of you until you and your families cease to exist if you dare to leave this place before I find who tried to kill my Luna!" I scream at them.My eyes zero on Horatia, who looks appalled as she rushes to us and watches the scene. "Roharu, please believe I have nothing to do with this!" she pleads. I could kill her just for hosting this.Gregory walks over and stands next to her. "Now let us try to calm down,"I scoff. "Calm down you say? Look at my Luna!""Young man, maybe she had an allergic reaction! A bad one!" he dares to insinuate and I growl at him."This was not allergies," Mei Li interrupts. "Someone poisoned her gift and I can smell the poison."I kneel next to Sienna and Mei Li. "What do we do?"She examines her skin and looks at me. "She needs medical attentio
*Roharu*I watch her sleep and her calm breathing relaxes me. Anger still boils inside of me, and I feel the need to kill someone before I can satisfy my need for justice. This is proof that I can't just forget about the past, who could possibly try to kill her? Why did they target her? Why is everyone trying to kill everyone I love?!Mei Li told me that I should consider more than one person because to go to the extent they did, would require a lot of coordination, resources, and connections. One wolf only, even an Alpha, wouldn't be able to pull all of this together.Xavier walks in with her and they both look at me, sitting on the floor, holding Sienna's hand. "I am not moving from here, so speak up," I tell them out loud. I know Sienna is awake, she has her eyes closed, but I feel her heartbeat and I sense her."We eliminated half of the list already," Xavier reports to me but I don't care about those who have nothing to do with it, I care about those who I need to kill."Names? A
*Sienna*Of course, my heart beats faster at his words; I didn't doubt it when he told me he cared for me before, and when he said he wanted me at his side, I also believed it. But back then, I would have never imagined he was my soulmate, and that I had him in my future. He said it before, but I thought it was just in the heat of the moment. Now, to hear him confess he had always loved me makes my heart swell, and makes me want to cry. So much time lost!He watches the tears fall from my eyes, tears that I fought hard to contain but couldn't. I am angry with whoever split us apart."Do you feel the anguish I feel?" he asks me as he sees my reaction.I can't help but nod, and at this, he quickly comes to sit next to me; I turn myself to face him better and he gives me a sad smile. "Then it all started to work in my mind, and as if I needed another push, Gabrielle got murdered and my world fell apart," he says as his hands turn into a fist."Our world is secretive and dark; if I had to
*Sienna*I wake up relaxed, and Mei smiles at me from the other side of the room. She looks like her old self, carefree. "Good morning sunshine!" she says with a giggle and leaves the blanket she was folding to the side.I wiggle myself up slightly and manage to sit on the bed as she pulls a tray with her and the door opens to let the nurse walk in. "Good morning, Luna."I nod to her with a smile and she sits next to me with the bandages and the tray that Mei brings, where the medication is. She carefully pulls the bandage from my both hands, throws them towards the bin, and soaks the new ones with the medication, which she then wraps carefully back around my hands.She then proceeds to do the same with the ones on my neck; I tilt my head up so she can access it with ease. The whole process takes about two or three minutes, and then the nurse smiles, stands up, and walks away.Mei helps me get up as I am dying for some breakfast, and as I sit on the chair and feast my eyes on the deli
*Sienna*Mei is carefully changing my bandages; removing the old ones and soaking the new ones in the medication Lady Horatia gave her. It is a slow process, but she handles it so perfectly."Where did you learn to do this?" I ask her in a whisper; my voice hurts less when I talk like this.She grins and covers the last part of my neck. "I am Chinese, and it is part of our ancestor's culture for the women to learn all we can about medicine and healing. Our werewolf history is legendary, and the wives had to always look after the injuries of the husbands."I smile at her and let her finish before she turns and puts everything in place. Having these bandages is uncomfortable, but I feel better with them each day; my skin feels fresh and the burning sensation is gone.Once she is ready, we both walk to the backyard and find Xavier standing, his back leaning against the wall. His eyes follow Ro and the twins running a perimeter check in their wolf forms.I smile wide, it has been ages sin
*Sienna*"Oh Sienna, I already miss you, when are we going to see each other again?" Diane speaks through the phone and I chuckle, already knowing who she really misses."I will let you know when I am done with all these tests they ask me to run. I don't know why they ask so many," I lie."I am sorry, really sorry. I know you have your own health issues and here I am trying to go out to a party with you… I will stop now.""Don't worry, it helps as a distraction," we both laugh and continue talking for some more until she finally finishes telling me how my students made a billboard where they signed their names and put mine in my honor.After we hang up, I shake my head at how foreign that life seems to me now; I used to be a teacher, and I had a peaceful life. Now my life is filled with chaos and uncertainty, powers and abilities, and everything next to my teenage crush. I would never give that up.I walk out of Ro's study and I am face to face with Mei who smiles and takes my hand. "
*Sienna*I yawn and smile as I feel myself waking up in the arms of Ro, remembering our late-night love scene. My body still tingles and my skin fills with goosebumps instantly as he kisses my shoulder."Hmmm… when did you end up spooning me?" I ask as I feel his arms wrapped around me from behind."I think after you passed out, which was maybe after your third orgasm," he says and I blush deeply.His teeth grasp the skin of my shoulder and my body feels on fire again. "Ro…" I whisper and I feel him grin."I want more nights like this, in fact, every night should be like this, and every morning, always and forever." I laugh and he pulls the sheets to cover me as he looks towards the door. "You may come in, Emile."My hands grip tight around the sheet and I pull it up to my chin, while Ro sits on the bed and Em walks in.His eyes widen as he sees us, as he sees me, and I can see him forcing himself to look at Ro and avoid me. "My Alpha wants to have a word with you both, when you have
*Roharu*"I want a constant rotation of soldiers to be on guard, and keep them even-numbered. No less than three of them together at all times," I give my order, and Xavier nods and leaves."I left for only a few hours and this happened? I am not sure I should leave anymore Roharu, not even to get books and materials for myself," Conwenna says as she enters my office."Indeed, you left and hell broke loose. How is it possible you didn't know that there were hunters still being trained and used? Wasn't that forbidden?""Are you sure they are hunters? I can't believe it, I am still surprised by what I heard… they should not exist Roharu." She looks bothered and confused. "And I know you don't trust anyone, even me, but I am just incredibly surprised by how far Gregory has gone…"I nod and hit the desk with a fist. "I know, hunters are a special breed, from birth trained and groomed… this means Gregory has been preparing for something for a long time now.""Did you call the other Alphas?
*Sienna*I scream and feel everything that has been poisoning me come out from my body, and just as I do this, I extend an arm and stop Crimson Mist from moving more towards them."You don't owe your life to me, so just stay back," I manage to say, my heart pounding fast and tears rolling down my face."How is this possible?!" the hunter growls and they all seem to focus on me.As I turn my head to look at them, I finally count them and see they are 13. Ro is ready to tear them apart, and now that I am free, so am I. "Last warning… leave our home, leave our lands… and tell Gregory to man up and come fight his own fights… if he dares…"There is definitely boldness in my words, but I don't care anymore, I am too anxious and full of energy that my body screams to release."We are hunters, we don't back down," the hunter growls again."Then you will die…" Cassie says and she shifts quickly."Em, keep him safe…" I say as I look both at him and Crimson Mist, who is still baffled and confuse
*Sienna*I am nervous and can't avoid the anxiety forming inside of me; whoever that Alpha is now, I need to remember that he knew my mother and worked with her, he knew her personally and probably knew my father.My hands are sweating as I pace back and forth, trying to calm myself down while we wait. I stare towards the entrance and feel my heart beating faster as I feel Em approaching, and with him, there is that strong presence that was with him before."I will be right there next to you, so nothing bad will happen. But the moment he begins to disrespect you or our people, I will have his head served."I shake my head and chuckle. "Ro, you are too cute." I lean up and kiss his lips softly before I let him go and head towards the entrance door.When I open the doors and step outside, my nose itches, and I rub it quickly. There is a weird scent around us, or perhaps I am imagining things. I should be, since no one else notices.I see Cael and Kall are already there in their wolf for
*Roharu*The humans are funny and entertaining to watch; they get along well, and they seem to find happiness in the simplest things. I admire them in a way, their life is so easy and carefree. Watching Sienna relax and talk to her friends and students is also something I am finding pleasing; she feels safe, she is happy."Tonight will be a very tense situation, do you think I should have made more tea?" Conwenna stands next to me and just calmly throws me a topic I was avoiding really hard."Yes, you should have. So much for being a Shaman, don't you think?" I throw back at her causing her to frown and bite her tongue. I take a deep breath, reminding myself she chose to be on our side. "I don't think anything going on right now will be easy to predict or anticipate. Not much of anything makes sense."She nods quietly and watches Sienna just like I am. "Your father would be proud of you, Roharu," she says and this time takes me by surprise. "You are a force to be reckoned with, and yo
*Sienna*I pull some untamed strains of hair behind my ear and I walk through the corridors and halls of the house trying to distract myself; I take a look at each room and make mental notes of doing either updates or changes."Any particular ideas you might have for this room??" Ro interrupts me as I spend too much time inside one of the rooms.As I chuckle, I shake my head and sigh. "I was just remembering our nights watching movies, and I thought it would be nice to turn a room into a home theater. Perhaps when this is all over, we can pick up those old habits."There is a wide smile on his face, one that makes my skin fill with goosebumps, and soon enough he nods and wraps his arms around me. "Done, I will get people to work on the room starting tomorrow.""Oh, I didn't mean it so soon.""No words needed, it is done. I already sent Xavier an order. Now, let's head outside, the guards are letting me know that your guests are on their way."A large bus arrives and I feel excited as
*Sienna*My arms stretch as I slowly start to wake up; my body is still sore from the intense session Ro put me through last night. A smile draws on my lips and my body is immediately aroused with just the memories of his bites and his lovemaking.With my eyes still closed, I slide a hand to where he sank his teeth first and feel the skin almost healed. A light pain goes through my brain again and although it catches me by surprise, I begin to tame it. -'My Enna is awake, I must come to give her a good morning kiss.'-I giggle and not long after I feel his presence as he walks through the doors. My eyes finally open to meet his, and I can't believe how sexy he looks with his half-open shirt. "Good morning," I manage to say and he comes straight to me."Good morning, indeed," he says with another Ro-classic grin. I laugh as he jumps to bed and towers me, leaving me breathless. "I just felt you waking up and couldn't help but come to do my duty."Chuckling, I look at his hungry eyes. "Y
*Roharu*Sh*t. Of all the times this could happen, it had to be now?I see a mix of anger and disappointment on Sienna's face as she glares at me. I can't come with a proper response in time and she walks past me and heads outside. I watch her go and I am still surprised, trying to process what to do next.As I see her reach the door I rush to catch up with her and it is a very uncomfortable situation; she is pretending that all is ok, and I am beginning to get worried.Casper walks towards us together with his Beta. He shakes my hand, smiling at us both. "I congratulate and bless your union, thank you for inviting us again, but I must leave. My old father has a new boyfriend he wants me to meet.""I am glad you made time to be with us," Sienna leans to kiss his cheek. "Be well and I hope you spend a good time with your father and his…""Oh, I am surprised you don't feel despised by this."Sienna shakes her head chuckling. "Far from it. I am not aware of the circumstances of it all, b
