"Fuck it," Azriel grunted and looked heavenward. He squinted at thousands of water droplets gushing out of the shower. Hiss ripped from his throat as they crashed against his battered skin. Blood continued to drip down his body leaving a bloody mess on the white marble. Every drop felt searing and painful. Jarek had sent healers to tend to his wounds but he had refused the help. He wanted to be taken care of by only one person, specifically a girl. His girl. The pain was excruciating. His back was burning and stinging both at the same time. He might bleed out if he didn't get the wounds closed up soon. He wrapped a towel around his waist and came out of the bathroom.His mouth twitched with a smile when he saw her sitting on the edge of his bed. She came. Sienna gasped when she saw his condition. The drops of crimson blood had trailed him on the floor. The girl shot to her feet and stalked to him in quick strides. Concern was written all over her face. She stepped around to his bac
Sienna kept tossing and turning in her bed. Her concern for him wasn't letting her sleep. She sighed deeply, miserably, and turned to her side. Her eyes were wet and her heart was in constant pain. It was torturous to see him like that. Battered and beaten. He must be hurting so much. An ache pushed against her chest and tear dripped down her eyes. If only she could take all his pain away she would have.She got down from the bed and walked to the window. Maybe she should have stayed with him. Her fingers gripped the windowsill tightly as she looked towards his wing. His wing was quite far but she did notice the light on. He was awake. Why was he awake? Is he in pain? Worry washed over her. Without her realizing it, she rushed to her phone and dialed him. He picked up her phone at the first ring."Why are you still awake? Is it hurting a lot? Should I call the healer? I will....""Hey, calm down, Moonshine. I am alright," he assured her in an amused voice.By his tone, it didn't seem
The frosty gusts of chilly night stabbed her continuously as she quickened her pace towards the dungeon. The crescent moon smiling from above but she could find no humor in the situation. If anything her heart was aching. Wiping her tears, she descended into the dungeon. The guards stopped her but only to do a curtsey and side step when they saw her face. Living in castle came with additinal benefits. One was being treated as a royal. It wasn't applicable in college but the royal servants held her in his esteem. She clattered down the stairs and started scouring through the bars. She let her instincts lead her to him or maybe it was her heart as she soon found herself in front of him, separated only by cold bars. Standing in front of the bar, he was already waiting for her. He had already caught her celestial scent. A wave of sadness hit her with full force when she saw him. Her face contorted before a sob rose in her throat. She stepped forward and clutched the bars. "Are
Azriel violently jolted the cold bars of his prison and demanded to be set free. "Let me out," he screamed with exasperation, constantly hitting the bars. Vulcan was on the edge. His mate was all alone out there with no protection. She needed his protection. His demand was met with silence. It stoked his rage even more. Vulcan refused to stay back and forced out making Azriel crouch on the floor. His canine elongated and skin broke into the fur. The black beast emerged out of the darkness. His ferocious growl bounced off the walls, sending the rats scurry into their holes. Vulcan was a beast who knew no boundaries. He was more vicious, stronger, and crazier for Sienna. There was absolutely nothing that could stop him from getting to his mate, much less this prison. Vulcan gathered all his strength and struck a dank wall with his massive body. The debris slid down in heaps. Vulcan backed away a few steps and crashed back into the wall in full force. This time the wall shook. He struc
He was gone!Her bully had finally left her but she wasn't relieved. She felt miserable and lonely. She was sad but she was also mad at him. How could he be so cruel? How could he abandon her with those words? He used her. She scoffed at the notion. Azriel Ledger was an egoistic, self-centered beast but he wasn't a liar. She knew in her heart that he meant it when he told her that she was his wish and when he had protected her with his life. If he thought some bitter words would make her hate him then he was wrong. Mate bond work in mysterious ways. She was more than certain that he will come back one day. He will have to. Moon Goddess can't be this brutal. Until then she will wait for him. After he left, Sienna stayed cooped up in her room for a month. Nothing intrigued her anymore. She was at her lowest always crying, silently begging for him to come back. It was after he left she realized what he meant to her. She missed him terribly. Even breathing felt like a task. W
'Mumma, catch me," Reagon shouted and scrammed towards the garden as fast as his little feet could. Smiling, Sienna chased Reagon. The boy was faster and very smart for his age. He had inherited his silver eyes from his dad with the slightest hint of her blue. Reagon had taken after his dad in terms of looks. Same hair, same aquiline nose, same sparkling eyes. The boy tripped over a pebble and landed on the floor. Sienna's smile vanished and she hurried toward him worryingly."Are you hurt?" she sat down on the ground and promptly gathered him in her arms. The skin of his knee was torn due to the fall and blood was trickling out. She told one of teh servants to bring first aid. "Mumma, I am fine," Reagon cupped his mom's face and assured her with a smile. His assurance brought a pang to her heart. Her face clouded with a mixture of pain and pride as she gazed at her son. The absence of a father figure in his life had forced him to grow quickly. Her little boy had caught her cryin
Her eyes were rimmed with tears but her lips were smiling as she lovingly gazed upon the man she was dying to see for years. Five excruciating years. She had waited for this man for five long years.The dirt covering his face mattered little to her as she caressed his scruffy cheek with her warm hand. An ache pushed against her chest when her fingertips grazed against a bruise. She touched the bruise and her vision blurred with tears. Those selfish pricks had tortured him so brutally. Her heart clenched with pain before she was struck with a sudden fury. "Launch an attack on the Elves. Show them what happens when they conspire against us," her voice came out firm and heavy with authority. Sean frowned. "They have alrady apologized. I don't think we should take such a big risk for a rogue," Sean protested. Irritation flickered through her features before she looked over her shoulder. "Do as I say," she commanded in a tone that demanded obedience. Being an alpha's daughter, she had
The news of him being the banished prince traveled fast. Several alphas expressed their objection through letters and emails. According to them, bringing him back was a disrespect to the late King. Whereas some supported Sienna, a larger group demanded to send him back into the woods. Sienna let out a heavy sigh as Karl read her the heap of letters that demanded Azriel's exile. There was no way she was going to let him go again. This was his home and this was where he would stay.After the meeting, she returned to her room. Her eyes found him instantly when she entered through the door. It had been three days and he wasn't awake yet but his wounds were healing fast. His health had improved a lot. The healer said it was because of their closeness. The mate bond was at its strongest as they were close. Dropping her jacket on the chair, she made her way toward the bed. The day had exhausted her. She eased down on her back and turned to face him. Laying her head on his bare chest she p
