Damon:The second I picked up the phone and heard the panic in Sienna’s voice, I was already grabbing my keys.She didn’t have to explain. She didn’t have to beg.Just the sound of her breath trembling over the line, the unspoken fear in the way she said my name, it was enough to set my blood on fir
Sienna:The room was quiet, save for the soft hum of the bathroom fan. I curled up on Damon’s bed, my knees tucked under me, his scent wrapping around me like a second skin. I wasn’t sure when I’d started feeling safe in this room, when his scent had become familiar, comforting even, but it had happ
Damon:Sienna had left the job.That alone should have made me feel better. Should have eased the tension in my chest knowing she wouldn’t be walking into another trap set by Giovanni, or sitting in a room where every corner was controlled by his influence. It should have given me a sense of comfort
Sienna tensed beside me. I could feel her confusion, her discomfort, but I kept my hand on her lower back, grounding her. She needed this.Lysandra leaned forward. “What formality? Calling an Omega Luna now I really am impressed. How? Does your mother approve of this? Or maybe wait? She does encoura
Damon:I should’ve known she wouldn’t let it go quietly.I should have known that she was not going to let the subject die down. She was going to come and she was going to start the problem.The second I stepped back into my office, I didn’t even have time to close the door before Lysandra shoved it
Sienna:The elevator doors opened with a quiet chime as I stepped onto the executive floor. My heels echoed on the polished floors, and I adjusted the folder in my hand. Damon had asked me to drop by for a final update before the weekend, and despite the whirlwind of the past few days, I was startin
Damon:The drive home was quiet, but for once, it wasn’t awkward or full of tension. It was peaceful.Sienna sat in the passenger seat, her head resting lightly against the window, shoes kicked off, her legs tucked under her like she belonged there. And maybe… she did.It was a long day for the two
Sienna:I stood in the center of my old room, half bent over the edge of the bed as I zipped up a small bag with a few of Isla’s extra things and one of my sweaters I’d somehow forgotten.Well, technically I didn't really think that it was an issue considering the room was simply down the hall, but
“Then why hide it?” My voice cracked, and I hated how raw I sounded. “You knew what she was trying to do. You knew she was manipulating him. And still, you didn’t think I deserved the truth? You still did not believe that. At least I deserve to get a hint of it.”Kael sighed, jaw tightening. “It was
Sienna:The nursery had never felt quieter and the air around me never felt tighter than it did now.Luna Evelyn's words played in my mind and for a few moments I found myself doubting myself and her rights, what she had meant and when she spoke to me about how I was supposed to be the Luna, how I w
Kael:The sound of urgent footsteps echoed through the pack house like a war drum. I turned away from the window just as the infirmary doors burst open.My frowned in confusion. The sun till already hit my nostrils, but I did not expect this.Two medics stormed inside, flanking a stretcher, on it la
Delilah:The sound of the gunshot rang louder than it should have.It made my heart drop to my stomach and for a few moments I felt like everything around me just seemed to explode.One second I was stepping outside the building, I was walking out believing that maybe we had hope, maybe this was jus
Damon:I didn't expect to see her walk through the door.Even when I called her sounds, considering the fact that Sienna did not come and report to me, I expected it to be a mistake. I expected that something else was going on, that maybe she was just roaming around.But when I saw her walking throu
Giovanni:The silence in my office was never just silence.It was a weapon. A weight. A promise.The last thing that I would have expected was to send men following her, the one woman that I expected to never betray me. But if her mother had done so, why was I surprised when she did?I took a whiff
“Whatever you have to say, spill it out.”“I need your help.”That froze her.For just a second, the steel in her spine wavered. “What did you say?”“I said I need your help.”She stared at me, unsure if this was another game, another manipulation. Her jaw clenched.“You have a funny way of asking f
Delilah:The walls of the office were too white.Too clean. Too polished.And no matter how hard I wanted to deny it, no matter how much I was despising being here, I knew that I needed to be.I needed help, and I knew that they were the only people who would be willing to help with something like t
Sienna:I told myself I was just taking a walk.I told myself that I just needed a break, that I was going to be all right, that this was just a moment of weakness where I needed to find myself.I took a deep breath as I walked down the western corridor, where the windows were tall and the sunlight
