SIERRAWe sit there on the hospital bed snuggled together for what felt like hours. I am still in his arms and now the intensity of the currents is way more than the first time. Suddenly, I realise that I am naked beneath his shirt and whatever this need is to be close to him becomes overwhelming. I quickly move away from his embrace and settle back on the cushions of the hospital bed.I do not have the courage to look into his eyes and see his expression. I do not know what I will see in his eyes. I do not want to see those black predatory orbs. I want to see those blue eyes clear like the ocean which always tries to pull me into their depths to seek the secrets lying within. Those blue eyes are a lot more welcoming than the black eyes. I wonder why this colour change is happening. I haven't ever heard of a wolf with changing eye colours."Uh ... Th ... Thank you for comforting me," I say, looking up at him. As soon as he hears my words, his face morphs into one of sadness. I again
FENRISFuck!I do not want to deal with Amaruq and his mess. He is a traitor and has accepted his betrayal. I hope the elders do not question me because I didn't handle the situation properly. Afterall, I got all the answers when I backhanded him. I do not want this additional trouble on my head when I am already dealing with a ton of shit.Trying to calm myself, I knock on the private chambers of Elder Alarick. The door is opened by Elder Ernouf with a poker face but his head is slightly cast downwards. He just opens the door widely gesturing me to enter and then follows me after closing and locking the door.What the hell?All the elders except Amaruq are present here and they all stand in front of me with their heads slightly cast downwards. The action pleases my wolf but puzzles the human part of me. I am an apprentice here. Why in the hell are they bowing to me as if I am some kind of a celebrity."Please, elders. You all are embarrassing me with your bowing. What is the matter
FENRISI blink open my eyes. This room is unfamiliar and I instantly become alert. I look around to scan my surroundings and see that I am still in Elder Alarick's private chambers on a couch beside his desk in the corner of the room. I sit up and take deep breaths to stop the headache but my eyes start burning now."Oh, I see you're awake. Here, drink this and it will help with the headache," says Elder Raoul as he hands me a cup of steaming liquid. I take a whiff of it before drinking."Is it ginger tea? Thanks." I say when the elder nods his confirmation. I am not going to drink anything without knowing what it is.I take a sip and look around to see that there is only Elder Alarick and Elder Raoul in the room with me. Elder Alarick is sitting in his chair behind the desk and Elder Raoul takes a seat beside the couch on the chair.I do not understand why I fainted but the elders seem to be completely calm about my condition which means they know why this happened. This is such a bi
SIERRAI sit there for I don't know how much time after Fenris leaves me in the infirmary room. I was scared of his behavior when he came on to me like that but I understood his desperation. His mate had disappeared, he himself witnessed my near rape at the hands of those rogues which justifies his need to mark me but I just couldn't. I am not yet ready to move on. Aztec's visit had confirmed this.I told him about Fenris being my mate but couldn't gather enough courage to accept that I had rejected my own mate for him. It would've made him feel guilty and somehow responsible for my current condition and I don't want that.I realised that in this entire situation, I have been thinking about me and Aztec. I never once thought about how Fenris felt about my abduction and then about Aztec's early morning visit and to top it off, I outright rejected him. This proves that I am hopeless and a very much useless mate to Fenris. I put my head in my hands and force myself from breaking down. I
FENRISI walk stealthily through the corridors of the she-wolves' dormitories. I want to meet my mate one final time before leaving for the mystic shadow pack. I decided to leave the school grounds after Sierra rejected me again last morning and when Elder Raoul confirmed that my adopted father knew about my royal heritage.I need to find these answers. If Sierra had accepted my claim, I would have taken her with me but then that's not possible now. I need to see her before leaving. I concentrate hard and attain the invisible form to open the door of her room and enter. Tatiana is sleeping in her bed soundly relieving me of giving any explanation about my intentions.I turn towards my mate's bed and sit on the edge of her bed. She looks so peaceful in her sleep. I caress her cheek with the back of my fingers. Touching her silky-smooth skin brings back those sparks causing all of my protective instincts to flare up.I cup her cheek which looks so small and delicate in my hands. She lea
SIERRAI stay rooted in my spot. He left me. No, he left because of me. I rejected him last night and that is the reason why he kissed my forehead as farewell. I thought he was just being affectionate despite my rejection. "He did not leave because of you, pup. I can sense the direction of your thoughts and it would be very unwise of you to think of your mate as a coward who couldn't face your rejection," says Elder Raoul breaking my train of thoughts. His words do not relieve me of the guilt at all."If you want to take a day break to cope with your emotional turmoil, you can do so. We can restart your training from tomorrow," continues the elder when I fail to form a coherent reply.I think about his suggestion but cannot focus on anything. I shake my head thinking that it will clear up the mess in my head but the guilt still remains. If I go back to my room, these thoughts will keep plaguing my mind so I make a decision of staying and beginning with my work."As you wish, pup. You
FENRIS"... We have a very weird relationship, me and my brother. We might fight each other like enemies but would not let anyone come in the middle of our fight," says Alcina. I couldn't quite focus on her chattering about her brother and how her mother used to always favour her brother over her.So far, I only know that she was sent here by her mother to keep an eye on my enemies, who I don't know about and the rest she says that she will reveal in front of my dad which leaves me with no other option than to let her accompany me to my pack."Are you listening to me, my lord?" she asks and I glare at her all the while maintaining my brisk pace. I do not like that she continues to address me that way even when I gave her the right to address me by my name."How can I not, when you have such a loud and whiny voice!" I mutter.She suddenly stops and stomps her foot like a child which only makes me smile and continue on my trail. She then joins me by appearing out of nowhere and startlin
SIERRAI knock on the door. I hear some shuffling and then the door opens to reveal Tatiana and Alexandria in the room.I stand still and look at my friend, confused about the entire scene. As if reading my mind, Tatiana speaks first."Hey Sierra. Alexandria here came to ask about yours and Fenris's relationship. She also came to ask me if you are responsible for Fenris's disappearance," says Tatiana. I hear the ring of truth in Tatiana's words and feel the rage consume me for this meddling bitch. Alexandria seems to have a radar to know about my emotions. It was one thing to try to bully me but she has crossed her limits by questioning about my mate.A low growl escapes my mouth and I glare at Alexandria who stands unaffected with a smirking face. With wolf speed I reach her and grip her throat in my fist to wipe that smirk off her face. The smirk is now replaced with fear and it is my turn to smirk at her. "How dare you come here and delve into my personal matters?" I all but snar
