*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
