*Sienna*I am standing behind the chair where Solange is sitting nervously, and we are both waiting quietly as Ro and Xavier seem to be discussing some things. The plan is basic; we prepared an invitation to Ro and mine's engagement party. How Mei managed to design and print one on such short notice is beyond me.Ro had told Gregory that he would like to give it to him himself. We already had some pack members report that only Dante was running errands for him, as Gregory himself rarely goes out of his mansion.Thanks to the long sleep I was allowed to have, now it was late in the evening, so we are supposedly having late dinner after we ourselves ran some errands. The story probably has more details than Dante would ever ask once he senses his mate."Are you sure you can take it?" Ro reaches us and sits next to her.Solange shivers and her eyes lock on his. "I don't know what I am even feeling."Ro smiles at her and takes her hand in his. "He would be the biggest idiot in the world i
*Roharu*"She drives me crazy," I say to Sienna as I sit in bed and sigh. "She is a powerful woman, but she loves to push me to my limits."Sienna walks out of the bathroom and lays down, inviting me to join her. I close my eyes and lay next to her, sliding an arm under her head. She presses her body to me and looks into my eyes. "That is just how she is, and who knows, maybe she has had people ordering her around all her life. 'Do this, act like this, don't say that.'"I frown as I look at her. "Are you seriously defending her?""I am just saying, she probably doesn't know any other way to be. And we are the ones who are offering her an example of how things should be, so we should try to be more forgiving."I can't believe what she is saying, and I know she is probably right, but my pride doesn't let me say it just yet. I just kiss her forehead and hold her tight to me; both of us quietly drifting to sleep.When I wake up, I sense Xavier at the door, and he wants to walk in. I look
*Sienna*The air is thick, and although it's sunny, it is strange to my eyes. Clouds seem to approach in the distance as we arrive at the front door, Solange looks nervously at the car driving in our direction. Her smile is almost gone.Ro ordered Cael and Kall to stand at our sides and Xavier is next to him. I am also nervous, and I just hope that this works out.The tension as the car, a black Sedan, comes to a stop in front of us all, is almost too thick. He walks out and his eyes find Solange first.He walks to Ro and Xavier, and there is a brief exchange between them; I see he is nervous and there are also dark shadows encasing his eyes.As soon as Ro nods and turns to look at us, we start walking towards him. I hold Solange's hand firmly and she seems to have trouble breathing.Dante looks painfully at her; it is almost like he can't bear the pain she is going through, the mating bond is strong and it has him already questioning his loyalty. He looks at me and bows his head. "Go
*Sienna*I eat my breakfast with a newfound interest, as I try what the chef has prepared for me. The pancakes on my plate were made especially for me, and their fluffy sweetness makes me want to devour them in one bite. Ro watches me amused, he always goes for a pile of bacon and juice.This morning we welcome Dante and we leave him and Solange to spend time together, making sure the twins keep a close eye on them, and Xavier is driving us out. Mei is staying with me at the school, and Xavier will accompany Ro to see other Alphas.I am thrilled to share the invitations Mei made for me; they are simple pearl-colored cards, with elegant gold lettering. It makes all of this more real, and it makes me feel like I am closer to Ro than ever.We get out of the card and wave as they leave, then we walk to the building and I spot Diane waiting for me at the door.She has always surprised me, because no matter how early I would arrive, she would be there first. "Di, do you sleep here?"She lau
*Roharu*I hold my Luna close to me and as we drive back to our home, I sense something troubling Mei Li. She is quiet and pensive, but I know she is distant."Did you enjoy going to a human school, Mei Li?"Her head moves to the side and I see her smile. "It was more than I could have ever dreamed of; they have so many books! Our libraries back home are so boring compared to the ones the humans have!"I chuckle, she is right. Werewolves only kept records of books and documents that had something to do with their culture and history. "So you were entertained, I take it.""I want to come back tomorrow, please?" She looks at me excited, and I see Xavier smiling as well."As long as Sienna likes you there, I am fine with it." I grin.Mei Li laughs. "Then I will go every day, because Sienna loves me, right?"Sienna is laughing and looking at me, amused. "Of course Mei, you can come with me every day."The mood is cheerful, and I look forward to getting something to eat as soon as we arriv
*Roharu*I sit in front of my desk and I try my best to hold my anger; of course, she would have male friends, and she knows it will bother me greatly. I don't like the way she tries to make me feel bad because I am territorial. She belongs to me. The files of every staff member working at her school are in front of me, and I can't find the male one working at the library. According to my records, an older lady is there. This is suspicious, so I make a call to one of my contacts.Only two rings and he picks up. I like that. "Roharu, to what do I owe the pleasure?""Mathew, I am sorry to bother you at this hour, you probably are getting ready to leave.""Nonsense, you know I take my job seriously, and I know you wouldn't be calling just for saying hi. Although it would be nice if sometimes you did." He chuckles and I feel he is right, I should be more attentive to my very trusted contacts like him, especially when they run the police."I appreciate your hard work, you know that.""O
*Sienna*I fell asleep after I cursed him, and I only remember vague events of the day while I sleep.A restless dream makes me shake and kick strange creatures in it, and as I fight with some shadows that start to follow me, a warmth embraces me and the shadows disappear. The warmth spreads and everything calms. Finally, I am able to rest.I start to wake up, feeling somehow relaxed; I remember I had nightmares, but something pushed them away. I rub my eyes and feel myself wake up more. My head tilts and I find Ro's arms around me. Was that the warmth that washed the bad dreams away?I sigh and close my eyes again. Why do things have to get complicated with him? Everything was going well.I feel a hand of his move from my stomach slowly lower, and my heart beats faster. Is he awake? His lips brush my shoulder and I get my answer.It takes all my willpower to push him away and get up from the bed. I look at him and he seems amused. "Trying to resist me?""You can't solve all problems
*Sienna*There is a small surprise in Em's eyes, but he quickly shakes Ro's hand and greets him. "Nice to meet you Roharu."Ro shakes his hand firmly. "Emile," he says only his name with a nod.Then I look at Xavier. "Em, this is Xavier. He is Mei's boyfriend."Em's eyes open wide at the realization. "Ah, the totem guy."Xavier frowns and I quickly intervene. "Mei sneaked away from the library, while Em went to the bathroom. She left this note."Ro reads it first, then sighs and gives it to Xavier, whose face turns from anger to pain. "I thought she went to the Arts & Crafts classroom, but she wasn't there. Em suggested she might have come to the forest."Xavier nods. "Yes, I can…" he trails off as he looks at Em. Whatever he is going to say, he needs to be careful in front of a human who doesn't know. "I can look for her here, I need to apologize anyway."He looks at Ro for permission, and Ro nods at him. "Go get her."As soon as Ro says this, Xavier walks as fast as humanly possible
*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
