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
FENRIS"Tell us, son. Why this sudden visit? The presence of this witch here guarantees that there is some shit brewing," dad asks me after our meal.Here goes nothing.My mom and dad sit facing me and Alcina sits in the lone chair giving us space so that I can first explain my story."I found my mate," I start but as soon as I utter these words my adoptive mother is out of her seat and kissing my forehead whispering how lucky I am to find my mate so early in life. I sigh not knowing whether I should laugh or cry at the loss of my mate before I could even touch her."Why did you not bring her with you? We would've loved to meet our new daughter," says my mother looking at my father for confirmation who only nods his head with misty eyes. I wonder what caused such an emotion to surface on his face. I have never seen his face so expressive. I look at him questioningly but he quickly hides his expression and returns back to his stoic look. "There must be some reason for why he didn't br
FENRIS"What answers was the witch talking about?" asks Zion, no wonder scenting the witch."Something happened in the school which makes me question who my true parents were? I am suspicious that our fathers know about it but are hiding it from me. Just came to ask them," I say not explaining further."Anything serious? How is Caliana?""Your sister is fine. She found her mate. You might receive an invitation for the claiming ceremony," I say."What? Please tell me it is not you, right?" says Zion, surprise and panic evident on his face. I laugh at his expression. "The future Alpha of the Moon Stone pack. Know Lycidas Volkov?" I ask, remembering how Lycidas had once maturely handled the situation brought upon him by Zion. The calm, analysing gaze of Lycidas had ignored Zion's trouble making behavior and quietly explained his need to be seen as a son rather than the future alpha of the pack. The scene had definitely embarrassed young Zion but had helped Fenris to let go of his reserv
FENRIS"Our creator, the Moon Goddess, has finally decided to bless us, to give us a new hope. The long-awaited search for one's mate has come to a still. The future Alphas of two packs have been blessed with their mates thus, giving us hope that our species will thrive and that we have hopes for new pups to be born.You are invited to be witness and to bless the mating ceremony of Lycidas Volkov, future Alpha of the Moon Stone pack, with Caliana Farkas, Alpha daughter of the Mystic Shadow Pack.Aztec Shaw, future Alpha of the Samara Pack, with Avery Lowell, Beta daughter of the Moon Stone Pack.As the new found mates are still in training, we have decided to make it a public ceremony to celebrate the first two matings after two decades. The ceremony will take place on the school grounds on the eve of the full moon."I read out the letter sent by Elder Alarick to my adoptive parents and try hard not to yearn for my name in that letter as a wolf to be mated. Of course, the elders would
SIERRA"'tchyo zaga 'lima?" swears Connor and continues swearing in our native language. I wait patiently for him to calm down and then answer my question.He runs a hand through his hair and pulls at the ends in frustration and then turns to look at me with a resigned look."We have a traitor in our midst, Sierra. You shouldn't ask questions about your mate when the world doesn't know about it," he scolds me but I refuse to back down."I need to know, Connor. Tatiana and Aztec are the same age, attending same classes then why did Aztec have extra information regarding my mate?" This slight information has been eating at my mind since a month. I couldn't ask anyone as Elder Raoul ordered me not to but as he is not here anymore, I should and will take advantage of it."You suspect Elder Amaruq?" he whispers so low that I can barely hear but I understand his concern. We should not be gossiping about the elders."Yes, but I don't think that he would so openly betray the other elders," I
SIERRA"Why do I look so ugly?" Tatiana whines twirling her ash blond hair making me roll my eyes. What would I have given to get those ash blond curls and clear green eyes? She is probably an inch taller than me but has good assets in the form of an hourglass figure."You are definitely not ugly. Come on sit in that chair and I'll style your hair for you." I say pointing at the chair by the mirror."You are a lifesaver kiddo." She ruffles my hair and sits in the chair. I quickly set to style her hair and get engrossed in my task successfully keeping my mind off Fenris.His adoptive parents and the Alphas came yesterday after my parents arrived. But the eldest son of the Alpha and Fenris didn't arrive with them. So far, I don't know how is the claiming ceremony going to begin without the oldest Elder. I tried asking Elder Raoul about his travel reasons but the wolf is as stubborn as a rock. He was just ready one day with a bag in hand and a list of my duties as his apprentice to help
SIERRAA long, loud howl of a wolf was heard signalling all the guests present in the meeting hall to gather in the clearing for the ceremony to begin. The full moon in the night sky was free of any roaming clouds, clearly, showering blessings on the new mates. There are chairs set for everyone to be seated. The family of the mates-to-be are given the first rows for seats. The other Alphas and the betas have the second row whereas all the trainees are to be seated in the rows behind. I watch as all the Alphas and the trainees, few with their drinks, start walking towards clearing. I wave to my parents as they walk out towards their seats."My baby's all grown. You look beautiful, Sierra." Dad kisses my forehead and I hug him."The dress looks familiar. Did you sneak it in your bag while coming here?" My mom looks at me shrewdly."Y.. Yes. I hope it is okay, mom. Look it came into use for such a good purpose." I say moving slightly behind dad and my mom narrows her eyes more."Come on.
SIERRA"Daddy? We have a table reserved for our pack here." I stop my dad who is currently moving towards the table occupied by Aztec and Avery and their parents."No sweetie. The Alphas of our pack and Avery's parents requested us to join them for dinner saying that it will help us get to know each other and mingle." I get nervous. What if Avery's parents accidentally come to know about me and Aztec's earlier relationship? Goddess! I get more and more nervous as my mom drags me to their table.I look towards Caliana's table and see that they have also asked their betas to join in. I see Fenris pulling out a chair for a girl.As far as I know, Fenris doesn't have a sister then who is she? Might be the other Beta couple's daughter as Lycidas sure doesn't have a sister but he doesn't need to be chivalrous for her. Zion being Caliana's brother isn't paying attention to the girl whatsoever then why in the Goddess's name is Fenris playing host? The back of my neck starts tingling but it do
