Henry pov.For quite a while, I haven't laid eyes on Sierra, and my concern has been growing, not knowing if she's doing okay. The uncertainty about William troubles me deeply; I can't fathom what might be wrong with him, and at times, I feel this urge to confront him.Sierra, I know, is going through a tough time, and witnessing her treated as if she's nobody pains me as well. Hiding behind the woods, I fixate on William Castle, surrounded by an eerie silence that perplexes me.Standing there for what felt like an endless hour, I attempted to catch a glimpse of him, hoping to talk some sense into him, but he remained elusive. Returning to town, the indifferent gazes of the people remind me that William forbade my return, yet my sole desire is to ensure Sierra's well-being.Confusion sets in as I contemplate where to begin my search for her. The anger towards William for causing her so much pain simmers within me, yet I must restrain myself and focus on finding Sierra and ensuring she
Sierra pov.I strolled through the hallway after my conversation with Williams, deciding to spend some time alone. It doesn't matter that Williams is my friend or that he's Aria's father; my priority is my child's happiness.I acknowledge that my actions might be considered wrong, but I feel compelled to protect my child from Alex. I constantly question whether what happened between me with Alex is real or just a dream.I've been contemplating a better way to distance Williams and Alex, as encountering them only intensifies the pain they've caused me.Suddenly, I heard yelling and felt compelled to investigate. The more I approached, the more familiar the voices became.As I reached the source of the commotion, I was astonished to find Henry there."Henry," I exclaimed in a soft and surprised tone. When he looked at me, my happiness overflowed, and I eagerly rushed over to him, embracing him tightly, oblivious to the presence of Williams.After a few delightful minutes, we both separa
Dean pov.I dislike witnessing her sadness. I understand she's my dear friend Mate, but she no longer desires him. Since learning about their situation, I've been infuriated with Williams for mistreating Sierra.I'm not fond of the other guy, whom I don't know much about. The way he looks at Sierra bothers me.Sierra is at home now, and I'm unwilling to let her go, regardless of who that person might be.Observing Sierra, who sits on the bed overwhelmed with sadness, I ponder if she truly loved Williams or if she harbored resentment.Approaching her, I sit close, wrapping my hands around her."Are you concerned about earlier?" I inquire, only for her to glance at me briefly before turning her gaze back to the window."I'm not sad, Dean. I'm just worried about what might happen. I don't want to revert to the past; I appreciate this new life, and I'm afraid everything will regress to how it was before."Her words concern me, and I gently turn her face to meet mine."You don't need to wo
William pov..Why," I kept saying as I felt foolish. How could I not see that she was carrying my child all this time? Why was I so blind and foolish?I stood up and stared at the moon for a long time. I felt stupid, betrayed, and as if I was losing my mind.Unbeknownst to me, tears streamed down my face as I continued to gaze at the moon."Why, why do you have to punish me like this?" I yelled, feeling defeated, as if I should just start over."Why do I always make mistakes? First, I was cursed, and now I am heartbroken. Why do you enjoy punishing me?"I could no longer hold back my tears as I broke down, realizing how foolish and oblivious I had been."You should have been wiser back then."I stood up and turned around, only to see Henry standing there, looking at me."What do you want?" I asked him as he walked towards me."The William I once knew was a kind and loving Alpha. What happened to you? Why did you allow the enemy to destroy what you fought for all this time? Sierra was
Alex pov.."You're just going to stand there, aren't you? Why don't you go see him?"I turned to look at Linda when she said that. Did she think I'm stupid? Drake made my life hell after he got me pregnant. He didn't even care to ask about me for a day and now he thinks I'll just go see him like that?I turned to look at Linda and smiled."I don't care about him. I have a new mate now, and the fun part is, I'm also a Luna. I don't care about what Drake does anymore. I think he must be happy with his new life. And what about you? I can't believe you let a girl take Dean away from you. I thought you were smart, but you're just a nosy someone. What about your sister? I hope she's doing better."She smiled at me but didn't say a word. I chuckled and then looked back at Drake, who was busy enjoying himself."I think I should go back. It's been a stressful day, so I need to rest."Just as I turned to walk away, I heard Drake's voice behind me."Alex, is that you?"I stood where I was and sl
Dean pov..I walked slowly into the room and saw Sierra in tears. I couldn't believe that William would do this. Why did he have to take Aria? Was he looking for a war?I approached Sierra and wrapped my arms around her. Seeing her in this condition made me feel sad, and I felt a strong urge to do something.As I stood there, watching her almost falling apart, I wondered if I should go to the lycan pack now or wait until morning.Anger welled up inside me, and just as I was about to leave, she stopped me."Dean."I turned to look at her, and she looked back at me with pain in her eyes. It was all my fault for being so careless.I walked over to her and pulled her towards me."It's okay, Sierra. Everything is okay," I said, trying to comfort her.But as soon as I said that, she pulled away and stared right at me, speaking with a sad tone."Nothing is okay, Dean. William took my child. Why would he do that? Why would he want the same child he abandoned? I've suffered because of him. He
William pov..Looking at my daughter filled me with a sense of hope and a desire to give her the best life possible. I gently laid her down on the bed and sat close to her, placing my hands on her hair and kissing her forehead. It was a painful realization that she had been my daughter all along, and I had been oblivious to it. I felt a wave of regret and self-hatred wash over me, wishing I could turn back time and apologize for my past actions.As I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, I was abruptly awakened by the sound of sobbing. I quickly got up to find Aria sitting on the floor, tears streaming down her face. I was filled with worry and confusion, not understanding why she was crying so suddenly."Are you okay, Aria? What happened?" I asked, my concern evident in my voice. But her words shattered my heart. She didn't want to be with me, and she called Dean "dad" instead of me. Anger welled up inside me, unable to comprehend why she rejected me so harshly."It's okay, Aria.
Dean's POV...When I saw Sierra standing there, looking at me, I felt a wave of apprehension wash over me. I knew she would be upset to find me coming out of Alex's room."What are you doing?" she asked, her voice filled with concern. I walked over to her and placed my hands on her shoulders."I thought you would be sleeping by now. What happened?" I asked, trying to gauge her emotions.She rested her head on my chest as I wrapped my arms around her. "I can't sleep, Dean. I feel so sad not seeing Aria. I wonder if she's looking for me. I just want to forget what William did, but the more I think about it, the more it pains me. I feel like I'm being used. Why can't William just let me be?"I gently pulled her away from me and looked into her eyes. "Listen, Sierra. I love you, and no matter what happens, I will be by your side. I promise you, we will get Aria back because she is my daughter too. And as for Alex, I told her to leave before I even woke up tomorrow morning."I wiped away t
