*Sienna*We drive past the gates and we arrive at the manor. There is a rush to everything we do, and everyone around is moving and getting something done; I see other people arriving as well in cars. The usual staff is tense and rushing through the house, I even see Deidre and Solange standing nervously at the entrance door.Ro stops the car and gets down quickly, I open the door and he is already extending a hand to help me out. His arm tightens around my waist as he looks around, scanning our surroundings. We walk to the front door and we stop, watching them.He lets go of me briefly, and walks to the both of them; they stare at each other for a while before finally, he opens his arms and they both walk into his embrace. "An attack on me and your Luna is an attack on our pack. And you, all of you, are too precious to me," he kisses the top of their heads and I don't feel jealous at all, I find the gesture protective and endearing.They nod and remain silent. He then lets them go a
*Sienna*Solange says I need to do whatever I did to Deidre, and I try to focus and remember; I felt trapped in a bubble, and I focused on a knife. That knife became a visual aid to burst that bubble in my head, and then somehow I transferred it to her.How can I do this on him? He makes me feel sick, I feel like I want to puke and my stomach churns in discomfort. So what can I use against him?Solange is holding my hand tightly and I know Ro is anxious; they don't want to let me go, they don't want me to be a coward, and I want to help. I need to do this. I have to.I close my eyes and try to find a way; toxic? What would I use to quench toxicity? If it were in the air, I would use wind. But to my body? My skin? What can I use? Water.I open my eyes and visualize water; that powerful element that can erase everything. I stare at the man who is obviously in discomfort, and quickly I notice he doesn't care so much about me, but he is focused on Ro now. Is he trying to hurt him?I panic
*Roharu*I am still shocked by the revelation of what that man told us; this is evidence of a direct attack towards us and it has links to Gregory. But are they good enough to be used against him and accuse him publicly?I am far from getting real evidence; people might say I just coerced that scum to give out a name. Then there is the chance Gregory will just deny having any knowledge of what his Beta was doing.Everything is too complicated, especially when I know there were more people involved with the murdering of my father and the recent attacks towards our pack. I have to step up my game and find a way to make a stand.Sienna is the one who brings my mind back to the present and away from my concerns. She takes my hand in hers and the touch sends a soothing wave to my body."Aren't you afraid?" She looks concerned and I frown as I try to understand what she refers to."Afraid? No. Why would I be?" I trap her in my arms as I pull her closer."I don't know why I am the way I am,
*Sienna*I leave my phone on the side table and I try to wrap my head about what I am going to do; I need to go back to work at some point, it is part of who I am and a part of what I made for myself.The question is: will Ro understand? I hope he does, and I am walking around the manor while I wait for his return. My nerves are getting the best of me and I haven't managed to eat yet.Mei offers me something to eat for the third time and I kindly reject it. "You need to eat, I can hear your stomach growl from here."I roll my eyes at her and chuckle. "Of course you can, all of you hear everything.""Everything but your thoughts. A privilege if I do say so myself," she smiles at me and I perk a brow."Is it that bad?" My concern is genuine."Only if you are near the two evil wives, I would much rather hear your thoughts than theirs!" We both laugh and I finally take a seat and grab the sandwich she offered to me. Now I hear my own stomach proclaim that it wants more than just a bite
*Roharu*"Not a human? What do you mean?" I ask as I tighten my arms around Sienna.Conwenna nods. "She was a shapeshifter, and we all know how rare they are. One of the last Alpha Shifters known."Sienna is tense and I slide a hand on her back, moving it up and down slowly, trying to offer her some calmness. "Yes, that is true, they are rare. They prefer not to socialize much and to stay away from werewolves, vampires, and humans.""She wanted to turn your father, but he refused it. They were in and on and off in a relationship, it was not so easy for them. They loved each other without a doubt, true mates, but your father held an important position and he always put his job above anything and everyone else," Conwenna adds as she keeps staring into Sienna's eyes."I… I don't know what to say." Sienna is still in shock and her voice is weak."Your father knew about this, Roharu, and he encouraged him to accept her and to turn, he even promised him that he would remain as the Human Adv
*Sienna*The buzz of my phone brings me back to my room; I have been spacing out too much lately, with everything that Shaman told us. I pick up my phone and find a reminder of the MidTerms. I missed half of this semester already, and I feel my heart split between my students and Ro."Are you hungry?" Ro asks and I shake my head.He watches me stare at my phone and he can sense it has to do with my old life. "I need to go back, my students worry and care a lot about me.""I know they do, and I know this is important to you. I am not going to fight it, but if you really want to go back, you will have to do it with security," he walks to me and wraps his arms around me. "Either Kall or Cael, someone you feel comfortable with, but someone in the end."I chuckle. "Aren't they supposed to be your Generals?"He shrugs. "So?""So? Playing guard dogs is not a General's job," I tease back.He laughs at me and shakes his head. "They love you, almost as much as me, and they are going to enjoy sp
*Sienna*I feel anxious and Cael smiles at me as we are taken to the school; one of the pack members has been in charge of being our designated driver. Diane will be waiting for me at the door, that much I am sure. I also brought some cookies to treat my students, and I already know they will love them. I always enjoyed spoiling them."I never would have thought you were going to become a teacher Sienna, but it suits you. I guess you always had it in you to guide people," Cael says to me with a smile.I chuckle. "I never thought I would become a teacher either, but around the second year at the university, I had a lot of troubles with one of the subjects; History. It wasn't because I didn't like it, but I had a lot of things on my mind. One of my teachers, when she saw my low grades, instead of scolding me, offered to tutor me."Cael seems surprised. "That is such a nice thing to do for a student."I nod quickly. "Yes, and it made me regain focus on my studies, and gain interest in th
*Roharu*As soon as I see the car approaching, I walk to the door and I open it widely. Cael already communicated to me everything that happened, and I am both furious and happy about it.Our unity as a pack and the devotion of my family towards Sienna is undeniable, and Gregory has just seen how we don't back away from him or people like him.The car stops and Cael quickly moves to the side to open Sienna's door. She chuckles at him and shakes her head, most probably because she doesn't like those gestures.I walk to them and without a word, I crush her to my chest, my arms gripping her tight to me. "My Enna, I am so proud of you."She buries her face in the crook of my neck and sighs. "Why are you proud?"I chuckle and feel her relax in my arms, our people walking towards us curiously. They know what happened. I look at her tenderly and smile. "Because of the way you handled yourself and Gregory in my absence. From the greeting to the goodbye, you were great!"She shakes her head; a
