SIENNA’S POV

After the little back and forth with the pregnancy case, I had to make them all leave to come back the next day, which was today. I told them it was best to cool off for some time and the we could reconvene at the office again. This was an opportunity for me to ask my father for help and I did.

Making decisions has always been a hard thing for me to do but I was willing to learn to do the right thing at all times. When I got to my father, the case was the first I spoke to him about.

“What do I do Dad?” I asked him my mind whirling with questions.

“You know what to do Sienna. You don’t need to ask me these things. You’re smarter than this.” He said sounding disappointed at me.

He didn’t understand my dilemma. It wasn’t that I didn’t know what to do but how to go about it without sounding unjust.

“Dad, I get what you’re saying. What I’m trying to say is that the boy didn’t force the girl to have sex with him even though he knew she could get pregnant. She on the other

    SIENNA’S POVI was jittery most of the ride to the Claw Moon Pack. They weren’t just dangerous and I knew it. I wanted my father to come with me but he thought that since I was able to handle SilverMoon by myself, there was no need for the world to see him in his injured state. That would further only announce the state of things in our pack and that was the last thing we needed.It was his best idea to have me go alone but I was too afraid to do so. I opted for Benjamin to come with me, at least together we had a chance of surviving should something happen that would require us to defend ourselves.“Do us proud Sienna, this is our chance.” I could hear my father’s words to me before I left. Benjamin looked chill it annoyed me. On reaching the pack borders, my heart raced more than it already was in the car. The security alone was enough to scare me away. And did I mention that they were dangerous? Because they were. They had primal eyes, ready to shed blood at any time. And my goodn

    SIENNA’S POV My heart almost just out from my ribcage when Benjamin came around. I had my mouth wide open, unable to explain the situation. “Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost Luna.” He teased, his features relaxing but still holding a confused expression. In order not to give myself away, I turned my head to meet Sylvester, my mate, whom I didn’t know existed but he was gone. There was no scent in the air to tell me he had been here. It was like I had imagined him, only I didn’t. The sparks and butterflies I felt surging through my body and almost making me pass out were real. I could not have imagined those things but then again he looked too good to be real. He was the type of man you’d hear from a book. And yet he existed.I thought of something quickly to say to him so that he didn’t suspect something happened. “This place is huge and someone could get lost. Plus you know I didn’t want to come here in the first place.”I somehow turned the tables on him, making it seem

    SIENNA’S POV I stared at Althea with shock as confusion etched itself on my face. Not only was she saying he was my mate but that we both had a huge responsibility? What could that be? “I’m going to need more than just riddles to understand you Althea, what are you trying to say?” I asked barely able to sit still on my seat. “It is what you hear Sienna. If you felt the bond with him, he’s your mate. He’s a Lycan and you’re a werewolf, doesn’t that tell you that the moon goddess has big plans for the both of you?”“The only plans she has for us is war. Why would she pair me up with a Lycan knowing we’re sworn enemies? She trying to have me killed.” I exclaimed pushing myself of the stool and started pacing around. My father was surely going to kill me if he found out. But he shouldn’t have to considering I wasn’t seeing the man in secret even though my heart called out to him and for him. “No one can find Althea, please promise me you won’t tell a soul.” I was on my knees holding

    SIENNA’S POV A few days later and my mind was still fuggy. My desire to want my mate with me and my dear to stay away from him were clashing. It seemed to have disrupted my appetite as well as I wasn’t interested in anything else again. I wanted what I could not have and I didn’t have anyone else to confide in. There was so much I needed to get off my chest but there was no one to listen. Not even a single soul. I was seated in my office, a file opened in front of me when Benjamin came rushing with news that our pack was being attacked again. I bolted from my seat and took off as he followed on my tail.The rogues that came around were not as many as when we were first attacked and they looked more frail than the first. But they were still a threat no less, especially with more people dead and others just recovered from their wounds. I was ready to fight, to use the work out as a means to let off some steam especially with my pent up frustration. But they retreated. Like they snap

    SYLVESTER’S POVThere was something weird about this girl that I couldn’t place my finger on. The first time we met, my heart skipped and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. I’ve heard a lot about what’s going on in the werewolf society but didn’t think it was as bad they wanting to form a partnership with us Lycans even after generations of fighting. It had been years since the treaty but even then we both liked to stay away from each other’s business unless it was necessary. And the one and only time we met with them again was to renew the treaty for another couple of years. I was in the council room when I received a letter from someone requesting my pack’s help. It was shocking as it interesting to hear. I never thought that in my reign as Alpha, I was going to be asked for help, maybe by my kinsmen just not the werewolves. So I granted it without requesting who they were and the kind of people I was meeting, especially when I saw the name Sienna. It made me intrigued and I wa

    SIENNAHot breath fanned my face, the kind that made the hairs on my back stand at attention. I could hear how fast his heart was beating and I couldn’t pin point if it was because he was feeling what I was feeling or not. And I was sure that mine ran faster than his. I kept my face down, refusing to look him in the eye even though I knew he wanted me to. “Look at me Sienna.” He said in a whisper, causing me to shiver. I shook my head in defiance. If I did as he wanted, I was sure I was going to pass out from just looking him in the eyes.I thought he was going to give up and let me go. I wanted him to but instead he cupped my face, sending thousands of electricity shocks through every vein in my body. I pushed against his chest, wanting him to give some space between us. He pressed his body harder on mine sandwiching me between him and the wall.“Let go Sylvester.” I breathed out my voice faltering. I winced at how pathetic I sounded so I cleared my throat. But before I said any o

    SIENNAThere was something dark about the fire that invited death to the scene. It was alluring to me, maybe it was because I didn’t want to lost Sylvester just yet. He and I haven’t even had time to bond and I hated the guilt that lingered in my chest. Was I wrong to have lied about my feelings for him and even why I was doing everything possible to avoid him?I stared at the fire with tears streaming down my face. The only entrance I knew of was gone and destroyed by the fire. How was he going to make it out alive now?“Somebody help him! He’s stuck inside the building!” I screamed like they weren’t already looking in the direction of the fire. But I needed to find him. If they weren’t going to help him, I was going to do it myself.I rushed to my feet dashing towards the fire. I reckoned if I ran fast enough, I could make it in without getting burnt and even if I did, I was certain my wounds would heal. But was I ready to put myself through that torture for him? I barely made it pa

    SIENNAI watched as Sylvester was carried with blood still dripping and his wounds fresh. He was rushed to the hospital and I wanted nothing more than to be by his side. I was left in the corridor with a few guards that followed. I didn’t care that they had brought him in, if they had helped him a little bit early, he wouldn’t need to be here.I stared at the ground taking in the design choice of the titles. It was bright white like the walls’ pain job. I tried to focus on it, to find meaning to the reason why hospitals chose white as a colour for most of their designs but I couldn’t.Where I wanted to see bright lights that represented peace and hope, my mind decided on its own that blood dripping on it was far a better sight to behold instead. I blinked a few times in an attempt to clear out the images. Tears I didn’t know I had in my eyes dripped on the floor, tainting them.When I couldn’t stare at it anymore, I averted my gaze to a much darker colour. I could feel my veins pulsin

    SIENNAI was beyond overwhelmed and yet I clutched my weapon closed to the side tightly. The muscles in my body were knotted into tension and no matter how tired I was, I couldn't bring myself to stop. One way or another, I needed to find Benjamin. “I can hear your heartbeat from here,'' Sylvester whispered. I could feel his lips against the lobe of my ear. I could see that some of the soldiers were searching in their human forms while some were in their wolf forms. This wasn't the time to be thinking about how he smelled or what his lips against my body was doing to me.My father had decided to stay back home. Apparently, we might have to conduct another search party for Clara. My father had said that she ran to her room when the attack started. The rogues didn't come anywhere near the house so how was it even possible that she would disappear without a trace? I couldn't even make sense of it. “You think they took her?” I blurted out the question that had been on my mind for some

    SIENNASylvester and I left the den, ready to confront the return of the rogue attacks on our pack. The air outside crackled with tension, and the scent of anxiety lingered as we approached the site of the disturbance.Drawing near the borders, I observed my father who was encircled by a few pack soldiers. His stern expression betrayed a mix of anger and concern that was apparent in him. The gravity of the situation hung heavily in the air, and I steeled myself for the challenges awaiting us. I saw the force of their destruction up ahead and I crumbled as a wave of despair washed over me. This wasn't supposed to occur if we had been vigilant enough. If I had behaved like a true Alpha was supposed to, these rogues would never have breached our territory. “Sienna, you've got to stay strong. Calm down," Sylvester urged."Easy for you to say; you're not the one whose territory is being destroyed," I snapped, but I regretted my words almost immediately. Swiftly, I apologized, "I'm sorry, I

    SIENNAI sighed, realizing that this was the difficult situation I had put myself in "Dad, let me explain. Sylvester—""Explain? Explain why you're associating with a Lycan. Do you know what they're capable of?" His voice grew louder with each word."Dad, Sylvester is not like the others. We've formed a bond. There is a connection between us. He's different," I insisted, the desperation I felt evident in my voice.His eyes flickered between Sylvester and me, and the disapproval he was feeling was quite obvious on his face. "Different? What in the name of the Moon Goddess is he different from all the others? So far he’s the Alpha.” He ran his hands through his hair in frustration. “Sienna, you're risking everything by involving yourself with him."“If you would calm down and let me explain to you, you’ll see how different he is,” I implored him.“Did he hurt you?”As my father continued his stern warnings, Sylvester remained silent, his demeanor composed. He looked so calm. Wasn’t he w

    SIENNAThe moon was gradually surrendering its luminous glow to the impending dawn as Sylvester and I lay entwined in the quiet haven of the cottage. My fingers traced idle patterns on his chest, and I could feel the rhythmic beat of his heart beneath my touch. The silence between us held the weight of unspoken words, echoing the complexity of our intertwined destinies. If anything, I was glad and relieved that we had cleared everything between us and that the tensions were all ironed out. And I was calm now.I knew that Tamara held no place in Sylvester's heart. She was inconsequential to him, and she shouldn’t dare overstep. If she did, I was quite capable of meting out the treatment that such intruders deserved. And I was ready to go home. Back to my pack and back to my dad. I was ready to tell my dad about Sylvester. "Sylvester," I whispered, breaking the silence that lingered in the air. He looked down at me, his gaze tender yet guarded."What is it?" His fingers brushed a stra

    SIENNA“But if he doesn’t?” he asked softly“I don’t care what he thinks anymore. It’s either you or no one. But you’re never getting married to Taylor or whatever her name is”“Tamara,” he corrected, a teasing grin spreading across his face.“I don’t care what her name is, and I don’t care who she is either. She’s an Alpha’s daughter, but I’m an Alpha. If she crosses my path one more time, she’s gonna know what this Alpha can do,” I said defiantly. His eyes held a mix of admiration and pride. "Damn, you can’t imagine how turned on I am by this.”“W-wh-what?” I blushed, my face getting beet red and hot at the same time.“You want to see?” He smirked. I slapped his arms in embarrassment. “Stop it, love. You can’t say things like that.”“Are you kidding me?” He chuckled. “Stop pretending like you haven’t seen what it looks like.” He raised an eyebrow at me, the mischief glinting in his eyes.“Oh my goodness!” This was so embarrassing “You can beg. I’ll show you if you beg.” He chuckl

    SIENNASylvester stood by the counter of the kitchen with a soft smile on his face as he watched me emerge from down the stairs. I wanted to watch him smile this way at me forever but at the same time, I wanted to go away from him because what he did hurt me. I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, but at that moment, I chose to focus on the calmness I felt after the bath, which was really nice, by the way. "Feeling better?" he asked, his eyes filled with genuine concern.I nodded, still unable to find the right words to express my gratitude. The clothes he provided may have been a bit oversized, but they carried a comforting warmth that seemed to extend beyond just the fabric. It was his, and wearing whatever was his just gave me this sense of comfort. "I appreciate this," I finally said, my voice a gentle acknowledgment.He nodded in return, his gaze lingering on me. "It's the least I could do,” he said.“Of course.” The air held a fragile tension, a silent acknowledgment of t

    SIENNAThese days I had come to the conclusion that maybe the only person that I put into consideration was myself. I felt selfish, I felt blind, and I felt stupid too. I couldn't make it go away. As if he was only just realizing the impact his words had on me, Sylvester crouched down and stared up at me with sad eyes. “Sienna,” he said softly but I wasn't so sure that I had in me to give him a response. “I'm sorry. I really am. I shouldn't have said what I said. I lost control for a moment,” he said as he looked up at me. I wondered how he could bear to look up at me with the affection in his eyes when all I ever did these days was hurt him, and make it more and more obvious how much I resented him. I knew he didn't mean what he said. Yes, but that didn't mean it wasn’t true. Every bit of it was. I closed my eyes for a moment, trying very hard to put my emotions under control, to gain some sort of composure. But for some reason, I couldn't seem to do that. “I'm having a headach

    SIENNA“What do you mean you were running out of options?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at him. My hands were starting to become clammy with sweat. I was beginning to become more and more conscious of my panic as I looked at him. So I pressed my finger against my temple just to calm myself down.He dropped the cup of tea against the bedside table as he looked at me. I didn't know what to do. “I just wanted us to be alone. The two of us needed some alone time,” he replied.“What alone time are you talking about? How do you think it's possible that I could stand to be in the same room with you, knowing that you're going to be married in less than a week!” I snapped. I was trying to let the anger and rising panic not take over me. But this was Sylvester I was dealing with. No matter how I tried to escape from my emotions, from my feelings, he sure did have a way of invoking them and they always came rushing back, no matter how much I tried to escape them. “I'm not getting married," Syl

    SIENNAI wanted to die rather than feel this pain that was making me suffer. It was happening gradually and that was what I hated about shifting. It was too slow and gradual. “Sienna,” Sylvester called out again as he made his way over to me and crouched down in front of me. His face was contorted in pain, and it was just as if he was going through something similar. I didn’t think it was possible for him to feel whatever I was feeling. It just wasn't possible. I closed my eyes and sighed. Then I started to breathe in and out. I kept breathing in and out again and again. Maybe that was going to help.But I knew that I was deceiving myself. Nothing ever helped when this was happening. All I could hope for, all I could wish for was for the pain to go away. But all I did was internally count as I looked forward to the time that it would be dawn again. “I'm here,” Sylvester said softly. His hands went through my hair in tender soothing motions and I found myself leaning into his touch
