Alex pov.After we both started walking, I couldn't help but hold onto William's arm tightly, and soon we arrived at the castle."Why did you leave without telling me?" I heard him say, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and concern, as I turned to look at him."Well, I thought you needed some time alone," I replied, trying to explain my actions.Upon hearing my response, he gently turned me around, his strong grip enveloping my hands, and locked his gaze with mine."You're going to be my Luna soon, so why don't you start acting like one?" he said, his tone both gentle and commanding.I pulled my hands away from his, feeling a surge of frustration rise within me, as I continued to stare at him intently."Well, you never stop thinking about her, so how am I supposed to feel comfortable telling you that I want to take a walk outside the castle?" I shouted, my voice echoing through the empty halls. Realizing the intensity of my outburst, I took a deep breath and glanced up at Willi
Sierra pov.It had been three months since I lost my child, and I was still residing in Dean Castle. I felt scared because Linda, without fail, always made sure my life became a living hell.I had tried everything to be kind to her, but she incessantly blamed me for joining the Ghost Pack and stealing Dean away from her, which was far from the truth.Most of the time, I hid in my room, afraid to come out, as if this were just another nightmare to endure.As I sat on my bed, contemplating my next move, a knock on the door startled me. I gazed at it with trepidation as it slowly opened, revealing Linda's presence.I wondered why she had come or if she had come to turn my life into a living nightmare.I observed as she approached me with a smile and sat down beside me. It was the first time she smiled at me, and I couldn't discern if it was a jest or if she had genuinely decided to be pleasant."Are you okay?" I inquired, as she continued to gaze at me, her smile still intact.I remained
Sierra Lee.I gaze into his eyes, momentarily lost in their depth, and feel a magnetic pull towards him. Slowly, I lift my hands and place them softly on his cheek. His eyes are locked onto mine, as if he's trying to read my thoughts.As I move closer to him, I inhale his musky scent mixed with a hint of pine. It's a heady aroma that fills my senses, making me feel dizzy with desire. I slowly place my head on his chest, feeling the steady thump of his heart against my ear.His touch around my waist sends shivers down my spine, making me feel both alive and vulnerable. I don't want to break away from his embrace."Mate," his cold voice rings through my ears, causing a chill to run down my spine. But as he places his warm hand on my cheek, I close my eyes and let myself melt into his touch.*Moonhowler*As I wake up, I squint in the bright morning light and take in the sight of my room. Today is my 18th birthday, and I can't help but feel excited to finally feel a connection with my mat
Sierra pov."I could not believe what had just happened. Am I dreaming? Was all of this true?" I thought to myself, overwhelmed by the events of the day.As I sat on my bed, I gazed out the window at the full moon. Its silver light spilled into my room, casting long shadows on the walls. I could smell the scent of freshly cut grass wafting in from the garden, a reminder of the world outside.My mother had been crying her eyes out all night, her tears staining the collar of her blouse. She had never imagined that I could be a mate to the Lycan Alpha. She blamed herself for letting me leave home for school.In the silence of my room, I could hear the faint sound of crickets chirping outside. Their song was a bittersweet melody, a reminder of the fleeting nature of life. My thoughts were consumed by the Alpha's words."I will be coming in three day time so be ready mate."The thought of living with him in his castle made my skin crawl, and I shivered involuntarily. I tried to imagine wha
Sierra pov."Only one day left for him to come for me," I thought, my heart heavy with dread. I hadn't even left my room, nor spoken to anyone. The sight of my surroundings was bleak and desolate, a reflection of the despair I felt.I still couldn't believe that I had been kicked out of the Moonhowler Academy. My eyes closed as a tear trickled down my cheek, leaving a trail on my dress. I felt as though I were broken, shattered by the sudden turn of events. In just one day, my life had become a living hell.Staring at the wall, I appeared insane, lost in my thoughts. My mother had been calling out to me, but I refused to answer. I sat there, waiting for the earth to swallow me whole.As my phone rang, I looked down and saw that it was Nora calling. She had been trying to reach me since yesterday, after I had left the school building. I knew she was hurting, too.Alex had come to check on me, but I had locked my door, not wanting anyone to visit. I closed my eyes, imagining what my lif
Sierra pov.I opened my eyes, realizing I was back in my room, on my bed, and lying down. Quickly, I stood up and looked around, trying to recall how I had come back into my room. The room was dimly lit, and the air was still.The door opened, and I saw my mom with a tray of food in her hands, walking over to me. As she placed the tray by my bedside, she held my hands with a sad face. I could smell the aroma of freshly baked bread and warm soup from the tray."Sierra," she called out my name and looked up at me with tears in her eyes. "I know this is when I will have to say goodbye to you, but could you stay with me for just a day, so I can spend some time with my daughter?"Overcome with emotion, I pulled my mom closer to me and hugged her tightly. She was the only one I had, and today was the day I would say goodbye to her."Mother," I whispered, my eyes now filled with tears. "I'm going to miss you, mom."I looked over at the food and took the tray, placing it on my lap, and starte
Sierra pov. "Have been here for two days now, and I haven't got to see him yet," I thought to myself. As I sat in the library, surrounded by books, the only sound was the rustling of pages as I read. The driver had shown me around, but I still felt alone in the mansion. Feeling bored, I stood up and wandered around the huge hall, taking in the sights and smells of the luxurious estate. Suddenly, my eyes were drawn to a door that I had been warned never to enter without permission. Curiosity getting the better of me, I approached the door, wondering what lay behind it. Glancing around to ensure no one was watching, I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door, stepping inside and closing it quietly behind me. My eyes widened as I found myself in a huge, beautiful room filled with shining objects and exquisite decor. It was like nothing I had ever seen before, and I felt a sense of wonder and amazement. As I walked around the room, I saw a picture of a handsome man with a dazzling
Sierra pov.As I walked around the castle, his words kept repeating in my head. I take in the sights around me; the intricate carvings on the walls and the high ceilings that make me feel small. The smell of old books from the library fills my nostrils as I walk over to it and sit down. I don't know why I'm feeling sad for someone like him, but for some reason, I feel like holding him and telling him everything will be okay.After staying in the library for an hour, I start feeling bored. I stand up and walk around, trying to find him. Even if he's a monster, I think it would be nice to have someone to talk to rather than just sitting all day reading books.As I walk over to the kitchen, I look around and notice how neat it is. I wonder if there's another person living here who does all the work. I'm amazed, but at the same time, I just want to go home and see my mom.Suddenly, a sound catches my attention, and I hurry to check out what it is. I see him standing with his back facing m
