*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*I have no idea how Ro is going to do all this, all I know right now is that I have him back and I feel his emotions and I feel how he feels. Worry and tiredness. It pains me that I can't help him with this, because I know he won't walk away to get rest until this is over.Solange walks out to meet with us, followed by some other members of our pack. She looks worriedly at the scene and I take a deep breath. "Is everything ready?"She nods at me and gives a couple of steps more to stand next to us. I feel it is my place to welcome them. "Everyone, welcome to our home. We are deeply sorry for your loss, and trust us that we ourselves are mourning Horatia. She was not only an ally, but a close friend," I sigh as her last words echo in my head. "The last time we spoke, she told me to be careful before leaving, and now I feel her words will haunt me forever," I try to not cry, and Ro squeezes my hand. "Until you decide the path you want to take, this is your home. Solange here, is
*Roharu*Pride and happiness, that is what I feel. I am proud of how both handled the situation, and have no doubt Gustaf will be a better Alpha to his pack than Robson ever was. He at least follows his instincts and knows Gregory is not to trust.Today the others will arrive, and we will have to make important decisions. In regards to the loyalists and also about what to do with Gregory.Now though, I push those thoughts aside, as I caress Sienna's naked body next to me. Watching her sleep has a calming effect on me; I love hearing those small noises she makes when something she is dreaming about causes a good or bad impression on her. I can tell when is good, she twitches her nose and rubs her face on the sheet. When is bad, she frowns.I bend over after one of those frowns, and kiss her bare shoulder. She shivers and I grin, so I kiss her again, and give her a small bite. She moans and I see her arch her body, so I lay my hand on her lower back and massage my way even lower.Her ey
*Sienna*Mei was right, the atmosphere was really somber when the other Alphas arrived and brought Horatia's body. I didn't know her so well, but the times we spent together, she was always supportive to Ro's cause and also in favor of putting Gregory in his place.As planned, I put on my simple black dress and went downstairs to meet with the others. Mei was wearing a pale blue dress, Solange was wearing a gray one and Deidre had a mauve dress. All men were also wearing dark tone or pale colors, Dante had to wear one lent by Xavier and I thought the gesture was sweet.I followed quietly as the men carried Horatia's body to one of the rooms, and left it there for us. This was all new to me, so I had to mostly watch. Mei and Solange dressed her in a white silky dress."We put her on new garments, a new dress for a new life," said Mei."And we chose white, because of her pure intentions," added Solange.After they were done, Deidre poured some oils on her body, almost soaking it. "This
*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
