*Roharu*Who dares to interrupt our moment, and who in their right mind would dare to come to this place? Were we followed? I ask Sienna to stay while I move to the study. Of course, she follows me."Do you think is Gregory's people? Or is it someone else?" Sienna asks as I sit in front of the desk.I pull one by one the cameras around the property and she stands behind me observing as well. "The security alert came from a perimeter, so it could be a curious passerby, we will have to check all the cameras to make sure," she nods at my words.The tension grows, both in me and her, as everything looks to be normal. I start to believe it was just an animal when I see a man walking past one of the back doors and peeking through the windows."He looks familiar, but I don't know who he is," Sienna speaks and I try to focus my attention on the screen for the next time it appears. "There!" she points at the screen on the left.I growl at the same time she gasps because nothing would have prep
*Sienna*Brandom is looking at me like I am some masochistic prey; I know he thinks I am crazy, but I am so confident that I can't believe it myself. Something inside of me is pushing me with this confidence.Before he can say anything, I snap to the left, and Ro growls at the figure approaching us; I recognize him, is Francis. He is taller than I remembered, and by far he looks stronger. His eyes, long ago calm and collected, now reflect an eerie smile. He has changed.He is not wearing a shirt, just ragged pants and barefoot, but he walks with his eyes locked on me. "But if it isn't the other human of the pack… Sienna, it has been years. A decade?""Oh, but you are not human anymore, Francis. Brandom just gave us the good news, you both are mates? Congratulations, you were always inseparable," I offer a polite smile and see him glaring at Brandom. There is a lot of discomfort in him, so without answers, I can already form a picture of what could have happened.-'Please work, please
*Sienna*I nodded off while Ro drove us, but a bump in the road has me now very awake. His hand rests on my thigh and he gently puts some pressure on it. I look at him and smile.-'Welcome back to the world of the living'- he whispers to my mind and I feel goosebumps."Why can't I reply to you yet?" I say back."My Enna, always eager. We just fully mated a few hours ago and you want to have it all…" he trails off and lets his words set in.He is right, this is a process that should take days, but the thrill of having to communicate with him this way is having me anxious. I look and notice we are approaching the city, and that means we will be near our people soon."Ro, what happened back there… I think I got it… how this works," I start, because it is something I want to go through him before we arrive."Yes, I saw it in your eyes, it was like a switch was flipped, I was just waiting for you to bring that up."I nod. "What I came to realize is, that I can only respond, not directly at
*Roharu*I can feel Sienna tired and tense, but the situation keeps her awake. I know she will refuse to go rest if I ask her to do this, so I have to deal with the situation at hand quickly. It almost feels like Deja-Vu."Ok, here is what I need you all to do," I say and they pay attention to me. "We have to gather those who have been having issues with Gregory in the past, and those who don't like him can join as well."Although several are nodding their heads, Zao is sighing and I know he doesn't want war. But war is what Gregory has been brewing for all this time. Casper draws my attention as he gets up. "I have to agree this seems crazy, but it also seems to me that Gregory was preparing for something else and we just ruined his plans. I like this.""That monster needs to be stopped, and if we have figured out his plans, then what are we waiting for? We should be making our soldiers get ready."I sigh and shake my head and feel frustrated. How did he manage to remain an Alpha all
*Sienna*My body feels heavy and so does my head; the level of exhaustion is beyond what I had ever experienced, but as soon as we walk into our room, I pull Ro's shirt up and off his body to examine his injury.Alpha Robson managed to transform but not completely from what I was able to see, and his claws tore his clothes and left a wide cut in his back. I feel horrible for putting him through this and I rush to the bathroom clumsily to soak a towel and come back to clean his wound.He sighs and sits, not moving as I slowly clean it; I can see he already started healing, and that speed, it would be fully new by the hour, but I couldn't stand there without doing anything.The events that unfolded were too much to process for me, and still are, as I feel my eyes blurry. Ro's arms wrap around me and he tugs me away from his back. "You are exhausted. You need rest."I shake my head and frown. "If I blink, something else might happen."He chuckles and it makes me frown more. I am right an
"Sienna"I walk outside and finally pick up the call from Diane, which I had been avoiding for a long time. She almost screams at me."What on earth is going on with you?! We are all so worried! What happened with your engagement party and with you all together! You haven't been coming back!" She has the right to be losing control and yelling at me, because I have failed to keep her updated on that topic."Please Sienna, what is going on?" I hear now Elizabeth also express her worry.Think Sienna, think. I have to respond and at the same time sound convincing. I need to show her that all is well but not well at the same time. I look at the twins sparring with Cassie and to my side I find Conwenna smiling at me, sitting and sipping a tea."Di and Eli, I apologize, and to be honest, I am not well. I haven't been feeling so well the last couple of weeks but now we just heard from the doctor…" I trail off thinking about what to say."Oh gosh Sienna, what did the doctor say?"As I sigh, I
*Sienna*After talking to them about my abilities, I feel much better and relieved. The fact that I am not keeping secrets, at least not big ones, is what calms me. I had to let them know about my abilities, so in the future, they know what to expect. Somehow, the idea of being attacked again and me not being able to do anything, causing them to be mad at me, just the thought of it made me panic."My love, are you feeling well?" Ro sits next to me as I contemplate the sky through the window. I am enjoying the peace tonight brings, and the calmness that his presence gives me."I am, yes. I just feel blessed. I am very lucky to have my family back. You and Cassie and the twins, you were always my family, aside from dad."He kisses my cheek as he lays next to me, and I lay down next to him to rest. There is nothing else to do, we both calm each other's minds and bodies, and it is easy to let go and find sleep when we are together.The morning finds me alone, and I rub my eyes before stre
*Sienna*Mei sits next to me as we both let the minutes pass. Deidre is sitting next to Solange and both quietly hold each other's hands. I focus on that small gesture for a moment, and smile at the fact that their sisterhood is not gone.Minutes turn to hours, and my nervousness creeps. I stare at my phone for a second longer then pick it up and try to call Ro. The other side rings but no one answers."They will be fine, they are probably trying to deal with everything that they found there. I am not envious of their place," Mei sighs. "A lot of dead bodies and a lot of pain."I nod at her but deep down I feel restless. Ro was supposed to call me and yet he didn't. What was wrong?The phone rings and I quickly answer. "Ro!" I almost whimper as I rush to turn on the speaker."My Enna, this was terrible. We arrived to find Robson's pack fighting Zao. We were on time, this just finished…" he fades off as he seems to shout something to someone. "We are all well, but there is only confus
*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
