All Chapters of The Alpha’s Mistress: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

~Sienna“First, Elora Daniels,” I announce, striding back and forth.Onyx lets out a pained groan, tipping his head back.“Sienna…”“She lives on the Western edge of the Pack. Her father owns a vast amount of land on which he harbours numerous successful orchards.” I tilt my head to the side. “Impressive.”Onyx shakes his head, shifting in his seat. He's been condemned to the chair in front of the fire, forced to listen to me read from four individual profiles that detail who his future wife may be.Alpha's need to marry. It's tradition, and Onyx is failing on that front.“I’m not interested," he mutters, his obsidian gaze tracking me as I pace in front of him.My finger trails along the page as I read further down, grimacing at the description. “These are so detailed. Creepy.”“Then stop looking at them.”“Elora is apparently of medium height.” I huff out a breath. "Angel's-forbid they be specific...Has brown hair and brown, almost black eyes.”I glance up from the page as Onyx rubs

~SiennaPeople surround Onyx, pulling his attention in all different directions.I stand back a bit, watching. Him and I have both been invested in getting this hospital established here.

I'll meet you back here in like ten minutes." I smile, tapping his arm assuredly.He frowns a little, looking off down

~SiennaI stare off into the distance, my knees pulled up to my chest, the back of my pants dampening against the grass.Distantly, crowds grow thick and threatening, rolling mercilessly over the far-away settlements.Up here, on this hill, I can almost see out to the ocean. At least I like to imagine I can, especially when there’s no clumps of cloud blocking my view. Today I see little of the generous landscape.Footsteps hurry from behind me. I don’t glance over my shoulder.“Sienna.” Onyx sounds slightly out of breath. “I was looking everywhere for you.”He sits himself down next to me, looking laughably out of place amongst nature in his all black tunic and pants and brooding stature."Your ancestors did a good job securing this territory as their own," I mumble. "It's beautiful."Clusters of lakes scatter haphazardly across the land, breaking up the endless forest and fields that can’t seem to decide if they want to blend or not. We live up on a sprawling hill, allowing us to see
