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
SYLVESTERMy mind was alert but darkness was the only thing I could see. It was so dark I wasn’t sure if my eyes were open. The last thing that I could remember was Sienna’s worried eyes staring at me as I handed the little girl to the guards down below the window I stood at. The fire was literally eating the building away. I tried to get out in time and I almost did but then parts of the building collapsed on me.My body should have healed once I started to get burnt but it didn’t. In a way I not only felt the fire burning my skin, it was eating at me from the inside. I started to lose my vision and darkness took over. I heard a voice call out to me in the dark. At first it was faint, then a second later it became demanding. I tried to move, the pain that should have shot through me didn’t come. I peeled my attention away from the voice and tried to search my body.My wolf’s vision couldn’t see a thing either so it was no use trying. I was confused as to why I couldn’t. Where was I r
SIENNAThe door swung open and a woman walked in. She was stuck between being graceful and hurrying towards Sylvester. I didn’t know who she was and I didn’t know if it was appropriate to stay or leave but I didn’t want to leave. I stared at her as she stalked closer only to start comparing myself to her. She was undoubtedly beautiful and she could pass as an elite model if she wanted to. It was so weird how her eyes held warmth in them and she didn’t have the usually smug look that other women of her class did. She breathed warmth whereas I was just plain old me with the most boring look ever.“Sylvester, thank goodness you’re okay.” She said in a soft voice that could melt the coldest heart. She had her arms around him and she was hugging him like they has something going on between them. My heart tugged in my chest.There was instant resentment building up in my chest. I could feel my wolf getting angry and I didn’t blame her. Another woman was hugging her mate and he wasn’t even
SIENNAMy eyes were as wide as saucers, I was sure of it. Did she just say that he was her fiancé? He was going to wed a woman who was nothing like his mate?“I’m sorry?” I couldn’t help but ask her. I knew I heard what I thought I heard, but what if it was the wrong thing? What if she meant that they were engaged but since I was now in the picture, they were no longer going to be married?She looked taken aback at my question but remained composed as much as I tried to. My chest was hurting, and it felt like my heart had been pulled out of it and smashed on the floor.I kept my eyes away from his, sure that I was going to break down if I had to meet his gaze. He and I were meant to be together but we were poles apart in nature. This should be something I shouldn’t mind happening. I shouldn’t feel hurt that he had someone else if I had to reject him just because our kinds hated each other. Tears pricked my eyes, trying to force their way out but I held them down. I bit my lip and bli
SIENNAI hadn’t worked with Benjamin for the longest time. But I could tell about him that he was thorough with his searches for information. He wasn’t only good on the battlefield and so far he has shown his knack for sourcing out whatever he was searching for.With folded arms to the chest, I could hear the sound of my heart rapidly beating as I waited for an explanation from him. What did he mean by sabotage?Too many questions ran through my mind faster than I could really think about them. I instantly became worried about Sylvester as it seemed as though someone was out to cause trouble in his pack.“Maybe we should go sit for this one plus I’d hate for someone to hear us right now.” He voiced, peeping through the corridors to make sure that we were indeed alone.He pulled me out, with my hand in his and hurriedly led me to my now parked car. All my thoughts about Sylvester and Tamara vanished at this point.After driving up to a secluded area, he pulled out a document from his j
