*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*I wave at Em as I walk into the library with Mei again. I see he has his phone glued to his ear but he gives me back a small wave and then continues on with his call.I sit next to Mei and look at what she is going to read next; 'History of World War 2' and I chuckle. "You are really going to read that?"She grins. "I finished World War 1 before I went to get the token for Xavy. I love huma… Ehm… history."I smile at her and nod, getting back up and ready to go to my classroom. "Remember, no distractions. Ro is picking us up for lunch and shopping after."She grins and I see how young she looks when she does that. I can't help but to get curious at how old she might be. "I won't leave this room, no worries 'mom'."I roll my eyes and laugh as I turn around to leave, almost bumping into Em. "Oh, sorry!" I say quickly and blush. Why does he keep making me blush?He seems a bit surprised too and moves away from me quickly. "Oh, no worries. It was my fault. Hey Mei, how are you to
*Roharu*My rage is boiling as I see the man bloody and almost without a pulse. Solange is holding him to her, and not letting anyone come near them. He needs urgent assistance and she is stopping everyone from getting to him.I don't want to let Sienna see this, but she is furious at me already. I finally let her exit the car and she rushes to Solange and kneels next to her. I see her comforting her and rubbing her shoulders and Mei Li is surprised."He is healing slowly," says Xavier as he crutches and examines him. "He needs medical attention."I nod and he immediately calls the pack doctor who is stationed not far from us. Dante looks at me and tries to speak, but Solange is stopping him from making any effort. "Let him talk, if he is trying to say something, it must be important."Solange lets go of his head and he tilts it to my side. "They are…" he coughs before he continues. "Coming here… I barely escaped."I nod at him and close my eyes. All my focus and attention go to tune
