Arturo: I watched as the nurses examined my wife in her sleep for any injuries or signs of abuse. Thankfully, neither one of her injuries gave out any signs of sexual assault. Though I wouldn’t say that I liked the fact that she was as injured as she was to begin with. The man had beat her up and I knew that it would take her a while to snap out of the morphine and drug effect that he had made her both inhale and injured in her system. The fact that it happened to begin with annoyed me more than I was able to let out; however, I knew to stay calm in front of the nurses as they worked. The last thing that I needed was for them to make any mistakes out of panic or fear of my anger. The woman, my wife, needed me to be supportive and calm, and knowing that her wolf could feel my every emotion, I knew to calm my own wolf down. “She would need to rest for a while, Alpha. Her vitals are all normal, and aside from bruises and scratches, there aren’t any broken bones or teeth. Her wolf ma
Marcus: “Why did you let her go back to him? You do realize that they both will come back for you, and that will not be good, Marcus.” Mom said, looking me dead in the eye as she tried understanding whatever I had in mind. The woman didn’t know that I wasn’t as stupid as she believed that I was. “I know that she and her husband are going to come for me, as you may know, I am the one asking for it.” I said, and she frowned in confusion, trying to process what I was saying. “I want Arturo to come against me, as you may know, being the Alpha of Alphas does not come without a price, and this is something that I want both he and his wife to pay for.” “You are playing a dangerous game, Marcus. The man is a Lycan and could have you killed in seconds. It doesn’t matter whether or not you are a hybrid against him.” She said, and I raised an eyebrow. “Had I followed what you have been telling me, mother, I would still be in hiding while my ‘father’, the man who has never been there for me,
Sienna:I was quiet as I tried to think of the right words to answer the nurse.The thing was, I didn’t even know how I was feeling. My wolf was in more pain than she has ever been in, and now she has reached to the point of shutting me off, and that was something that killed me more than ever.I knew that there were days where she would shut me off as she healed, but this time, I knew that it was different. Something was different about how she was acting, and that was something that I couldn’t let go of.“I am tired,” I said, and she nodded. She put her hand on my face, checking my fever and I moved away, not wanting her to touch me. The fact that I knew that Arturo was watching me, and that was something that I didn’t like, especially since I knew that he was seeing me in one of my most vulnerable states.“I need to check on you, Luna Sienna, but you can be assured that I will not hurt you.” The nurse said, trying to extend her hands to my face. I moved away, not allowing her to d
Arturo:“You don’t have to stay by my side the whole day, Arturo.” Sienna said, raising herself to look at me. I nodded and gave her a gentle smile, knowing that she was still upset with everything that happened.The fact that the sun was setting and that she was unable to shift was something that neither one of us could miss. I knew that she was not opening up about it, but I also knew that it was hurting her a lot more than she could have ever thought that it would. The anger and the pain that she must have been feeling would have killed another man, and that was something that I couldn’t easily ignore or let go of. “I know, Sienna, and I am not staying because I HAVE to, I am doing it because I want to. There is a fine difference between both words.” I said, sitting on the edge of the bed which she was laying on.I knew that there were no broken bones, that was something that I was thankful for, but she needed all the rest that she could get. I picked up the ointment that was on t
Sienna:I tried to clear my mind enough to be able to think.I truly did.However, I couldn’t find myself doing so as I realized that my father not only killed my mom because she wanted to escape him. It was because she was trying to actually report what was happening.It proved to me that I was right in submitting to the man and not causing any trouble. The abuse that I have been through made it obvious to me anyway, but I didn’t expect him to stoop as low as killing someone. But then again, I should have expected it. It would have cost his mistress, and now that I think of it, his son, their lives. That is something that he didn’t want, and it was something that mom would have opened up for him.“Do you want to try and get out of the room? See if you can at least stay with the pack members in the living room?” Arturo asked. His voice was softer than usual, and I could tell that he was treating me like some jewel that he was afraid of breaking. The thing was, I couldn’t help but fee
Arturo:“That is impossible,” William, one of the elders of the wolves said, looking me dead in the eye.I raised an eyebrow at the man who had his eyes on Sienna, looking at her as if she was some pest or parasite. I had to fight back growling at the man, knowing that it was me who was in his place. And the fact that he was superior to Sienna was what stopped me from taking my anger out on him. “He has attacked me, and not only that, but he killed my father for the place of being an Alpha. I am well aware that this may come out as…”“If Eli was a witch, why have you not informed us about this before? Why did you choose to stay quiet about it all this time?” He asked, stopping Sienna who looked down at her feet, avoiding his eyes. She looked at me for a second, silently asking me whether or not to proceed and I nodded, giving her the courage to do so.“I was abused not to.” She said, looking the man dead in the eye. The council frowned and shook their heads in question as mutters fi
Sienna:My heart raced against my ribcage as we approached the place where I once called home. The pack members were waiting outside in case things backfired, but I had to admit, I did hope that they didn’t. The last thing that we wanted to deal with was a mess right now.I didn’t know where things were going to go from here, but with the elders in the loop of everything, I knew that things were not going to be smooth, at least, not for Eli and Marcus.Catching our scent, the pack members grew alert, and most even left the houses to come and see us. I raised an eyebrow at the beta who walked out of his own house alongside Marcus and Arturo wrapped his arm around me, pulling me closer to him. “You two have guts coming over here.” Marcus said, glaring daggers at me. I had to admit, the idea of punching him in the face was rather tempting, but I knew that my husband would do more than just punch him in the face. If anything, I knew that he was just waiting for this investigation to be
Arturo:I pulled Sienna behind me as I tried moving her from the forming fire.A low growl escaped my chest, alerting the pack members who were outside the pack’s boundaries, masking their scents with the herbs that were provided by the werewolf elders.Though I didn’t trust using them at first, I feared the pack members getting injured or them trying to kill us; however, I was surprised when that was not the case. If anything, it seemed like they were genuinely trying to stop a war from forming.“Arturo, what are we going to do?” Sienna asked, breaking the train of my thoughts. I purred in response, wanting her to calm down despite the situation that we were in. Eli knew how to take advantage of a weak moment that my wife would be having in such a situation and that was not something that I wanted. If anything, I knew for fucking fact that I was going to make that witch pay for what she was doing; however, for now, I needed my wife to be calm through this situation.Her wolf was inju
