SIENNAI didn’t know what just happened or if I should be panicked about Benjamin suddenly leaving. Ever since the confrontation in the hallway, he had been behaving strangely. I closed my eyes and sighed. I was feeling all shades of frustration. “Are you okay?” my father asked, snapping my attention back to him. My cheeks flushed with color as I looked between the both of them. Clara looked at me curiously as I tried to return my attention back to what he had been saying earlier. My shoulder became tense with tension when I realized that Sylvester was going to be coming over today. Unfortunately for me. I was going to have to encounter him every day. Only the thought of that alone set me on edge. “You look worried and you haven't even touched your breakfast,” he said. I didn't know how to come up with an explanation. It was like the words were stuck at the back of my throat. The panic was beginning to well up in my chest as I tried to find the perfect words to say. “But it's un
SIENNAI watched as Clara and Sylvester were engaged in conversation. I twisted my fingers together. Trying to make sense of the anger that was clawing at me within the walls of my stomach and from inside me. I knew that I didn't have any reason to be upset. I had already told myself that I was long done with him in terms of anything romantic. Yet when she placed her hand on his arm and left it there. My eyes narrowed into slits. My wolf growled at the sight. She was becoming possessive and before I could think rationally, I took a step closer to them. Their heads snapped in my direction. Sylvester’s brows furrowed with concern as his gaze met mine and I watched irritation flash through Clara's.“You've finally checked up on him. You need to excuse us so that we can discuss business,” I said, trying to keep my voice empty of whatever it was that I was feeling. “Don't be such a party crasher, Sienna. You know we're having a conversation. You can't just step in and tell me to end it.”
SIENNA Benjamin paused and remained cautiously quiet. It was almost as if he wanted to say something but instantly decided against it. “I've been busy,” he finally said. The better part of me knew that he was lying. I was very aware of the fact that he had been avoiding me for quite some time. Since the day that he found out that Sylvester was going to be stationed here. The thought of him wanting to stay clear away from me hurt. I could feel the familiar pang in my chest. I tried not to think about it too much, tried not to linger on the thought of him not wanting anything to do with me. “You looked a little disconcerted earlier. Did anything happen?” He furrowed his brows slightly and the concern was etched on his face. I couldn't tell him that I just had a conversation with Sylvester. The thought of Sylvester seemed to upset him. “I'm fine. I was just feeling a little dizzy. It must be all the stress from what's been happening lately,” I finally said after a while. I could tell
SIENNAI looked at Clara in horror because I couldn't believe she was actually serious about going the extra mile to get Sylvester's attention. That was why when she asked my father if she could be Sylvester's assistant. I clenched my fists on the table and as I glanced down at my white knuckles, I quickly hid them underneath the table. My father seemed to be perplexed about why she would be asking him such a question. “Think about it. You don't exactly trust him so at least you'll have a pair of eyes to watch over him.” I remained silent trying to process whatever it was that she was explaining to my father but I knew Clara and I knew her well enough to know that she had no intentions of keeping an eye on Sylvester. She was just looking for an excuse to be close to him. I sighed, trying really hard to calm my racing nerves. I couldn't react because I was afraid that I was going to be raising suspicions. “I think that's an excellent idea, Clara. I should have thought about that soon
SIENNAI was beyond petrified. Every inch of me was engulfed in flame and I didn't want to think about the burning need that I felt in my core. I didn't want to think of the way I desperately ached to touch him or align myself with the taste of his lips. I wanted, so badly, to remember what he tasted like. I closed my eyes and sighed, trying to quell down the panic and arousal that were threatening to suffocate me. I didn't want him to stay away, and the emotions of my wolf were heightening mine in the process.“Get your hands away from me!” I growled.I knew that I didn't mean it but at the same time, it was too risky to have him touch me. It affected me to the point that it could almost be considered overwhelming. I closed my eyes and sighed. Somehow I needed to calm my racing nerves. My emotions were beginning to spiral out of control. “Say it,” he said and for some reason, I couldn't. I was unable to. I didn't want him to go away, I wanted him to stay. I wanted him so close to th
SIENNAThe feel of the fresh breeze was soothing against my face. It was even better as it ran through my hair. I clutched onto Benjamin's waist tighter as we rode in his motorcycle. I can't remember the last time I was in town. Everything looked unfamiliar and foreign to me. I remember Hailey and I going to the mall regularly to shop. After she moved away, and after I became assigned as Luna. I stopped going out. The only place I ever got to go to was the meetings that were mandatory to attend. I never really knew how to have fun. Memories of Sylvester and I drifted through my mind and I tried to forget it. It was hard. At the memory of what happened an hour ago between him and I, my whole mood crashed and it was impossible to stop thinking about him which felt absurd considering the fact that I was in Benjamin's company. I decided that I was going to enjoy the ride and well… Benjamin's company. At some point, we came to a halt and when I came down from the motorcycle and lifted th
SIENNAI was almost convinced that my teeth were going to fall out from eating so much sugar and yet this was a memory that I never wanted to let go of. I made a mental note in my mind that I was going to develop a habit of coming into town often. I certainly could not remain cooped up at home all the time. I never knew that Benjamin could be so flirty, although It disconcerted me in a way.The fluttering that I felt within the confines of my belly added to my confusion. Even if I felt a bit awkward, especially after my incident with the waitress, conversation still flowed smoothly between us and we laughed over memories of us coming to this place when we were younger. I guess we all grew up too fast. I considered taking a picture of the scene and sending it to Hailey to let her know how much I missed her and how I wished she was here, but I snapped my head out of the thought and decided that I would do it some other time. When we were finally done with the ice cream and the food, Ben
SIENNAI turned to him in surprise, mainly because I wasn't expecting him to still be here. He ought to have gone home by now. Benjamin tensed and I could tell that he was doing his best to remain composed and not to react in a way that was going to make me uncomfortable. Sylvester’s shirt was undone slightly and his hair was tousled as if he ran his hands through them more often than usual, maybe tugging at them in frustration. He looked tired from a hard day's work. I noticed how much his gaze darkened as they fell to me and Benjamin’s joined hands.I suddenly felt uncomfortable and I was tempted to pull my hands away but for some reason decided not to. I was going to hurt Benjamin's feelings just to soothe away his displeasure. But at the same time, why did I feel like I was doing something that I wasn't supposed to be doing? I ignored the Unnerving feeling and I raised an eyebrow at him. “Sylvester? What are you still doing here? It's late,” I finally said and I could hear him sc
