*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
*Sienna*I open my eyes, I turn around and stare at Gregory, who seems to be surprised, and takes a step back. I feel Ro's tight grip around me, but I don't fight with him anymore.My intention is clear, when I open my mouth, I aim it to the one person who focuses my anger. "Kneel."Instantly, Gregory falls to his knees and his eyes widen.His people look in shock, as I am sure many others will be, but I can't look at anyone, just him. The panic in his eyes, the fear in his skin. That is exactly what he needs to feel.I see him open his mouth and so my next order comes out. "Shut up."He struggles as he tries to open his mouth but is unable to do it. I feel the blood rushing through my veins as my connection to him gets stronger, and I can even feel his heart beating faster and his breath becoming more erratic."Put your hands to your throat, and squeeze it." My next words flew out of my mouth and instantly he followed them.His closest people rush to his side and try to stop him; pul
*Roharu*"She is dangerous, but she is also our Luna," Xavier tells me as we walk into my study. "Shall we call the Shaman?""She is powerful, Xavier. And we have to make sure we play this the right way. What they saw can be and should be interpreted in only one way; if I show the Alphas the videos, will they ask 'What is wrong with Gregory?' or will they ask 'What the hell is she?'"It p*sses me off; I was going to get away with it if it weren't because Gregory decided to go after my mate. I am glad he got a piece of what he sadistically serves others. "Call the Shaman, and tell her what happened. If you don't, she won't have a good enough excuse to come here."As soon as he leaves, I see Deidre knocking on the door. "Come in."She is not one to follow orders easily, and yet she has been quite secluded and absent from the action. I know she is not happy with Solange's new bond with Sienna, but she hasn't intervened either."I wanted to make a request," her words are emotionless."Spe
*Sienna*I am beyond exhausted. I did push my own limits by coming down to Ro's study, but I need to use those pleasant feelings when we are close to each other, to recover more than just my energies, but my spirit.I am not surprised anymore by what I am capable of, but I am surprised by what happened today. Even with all that, I can't wait to leave this day in the past.The couch is comfortable and I sit here while he makes calls. He has been talking to other Alphas while I close my eyes and just focus on the peace his voice brings me. This mating bond is both a curse and a blessing.At some point, I fell asleep, and my dreams were empty. I don't remember anything from them as Ro caresses my arms and tries to wake me up. "My Enna, come back to me."I smile at his words and open my eyes to find him kneeled, caressing my face with the back of his hand. "How long was I out?""You were asleep for some hours, don't worry. But it is late now, and I rather have you in our bed, sleeping wit
*Sienna*"I am not sure I can be of much help, but I have three shifters in my pack. I will ask them what they know and to do their research." Alpha Zao speaks and breaks the uncomfortable silence in the room."You have shifters in your pack? Why didn't we know that?"Because it is not against the law, and they came to me willingly. I was not talking about them because some wolves still think they should be eliminated. I need to protect them." As soon as he says this he looks at me.I can't believe people would want to kill shapeshifters, why? Maybe that is why my mother didn't want to be here."I understand, thank you for trusting us by telling us this.""Don't worry, I am showing reciprocity. You showed us your biggest secret as well." Alpha Zao looks again at me and I sigh. "I know you felt like you were all alone, but if it makes you feel better, I will bring them here so they can talk to you and you learn from them.""That will be much appreciated, Zao." Ro puts his hand on my ba
*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
