*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
*Roharu*After I get my shower, I finally feel like everything is well. I have my mate, my friends, and we are on the track of the people that murdered my father. I am excited.Watching Sienna slowly get better has been an ordeal; I felt powerless and selfish for not transforming her to help her heal faster. But she understands my point of view and the reason why I am afraid to do this.My Enna. It's not hard to fall for someone smart and cunning.-'Alpha, your friends went out for another stroll. Are you going to wait for them for dinner?'- I hear Xavier send to me and I chuckle.-'They just want to make sure they have all angles checked. But no, I will go get Sienna, if she wants to wait then we will. If she is hungry, we eat,'- I reply to him and he mentally nods.-'Yes, Alpha,'- I can't help but smile at his seriousness.I find Sienna exploring the library with some books already in hand; she always told me this was her favorite room of the manor. I reach to her and caress her che
