Sireen’s POVI need someone to pinch me and tell me that Luna Elowen did not just hear me go off on her son or hear him admit that he severed our bond. I don’t know what that information would cause between them or our families, but I know it’s going to be nothing good if Trevor looks at me like I’ve committed another crime.Actually, I’d take a punch to the jaw if that’s what it will take for time to turn its hands back just a few seconds to allow me to keep my mouth shut, but I feel nothing, only the weight of the deafening silence that followed Elowen’s appearance.Trevor doesn’t speak as he regards his mom, ignoring me completely.With a calmness that I could never manage in my life, Luna Elowen steps to the side. “Let’s return to the table. Ocean’s panna cotta is ready,” she simply says and gestures to the path that led me here, and I don’t know if I should say something to placate the situation.I decide against that because this is not my mess. It’s all Trevor’s actions. He sev
Sireen’s POVThere’s more food than I could possibly eat if my stomach were not already stuffed full with nerves, and my intestines weren’t tied around themselves, small and big. Luna Elowen made marinated olives and cheese, a big bowl of greens, the most yummy focaccia I’ve laid eyes on, alongside spreading, and for the main dish, lemon cream pasta and the option of the lasagna Mom brought. Refreshments fill the table, and they say we'll be having a fruit platter and panna cotta with berry compote as desserts, which Alpha Ocean says he made himself. His special recipe, according to Elowen.As delightful as the table looks, I can’t eat with Trevor sitting this close to me. Oh goodness, we haven’t spent this much time being this close to one another, ever, and his cool yet masculine cologne is not making things any easier. I gulp my glass of water in less than five swallows, as that is all I can do with the conversation going on at the table.More than twice, I silently beg Mom with
Sireen’s POVMom is chirpy all through the morning as she prepares the tray of food we’ll be taking to Trevor’s house. I’m slowly dying with every passing minute, and I’ve exhausted every last excuse I can use to avoid this meeting, so when Mom finishes in the kitchen, I take a shower and dress up.Even though I’m not anticipating anything, I put in some effort into how I look. I blow my hair out and pin the side of my ear with a golden colored flower clip. I apply a little blush and some lip gloss, a little mascara, and when I go in for some eye shadow and extra blush, I tell myself that I’m beginning to do too much. To make myself feel better, I lie that I’m only trying to look presentable for Alpha Ocean and Luna Elowen.My short sleeved light pink dress is simple, resting a little below my thighs, and not too tight. I opt for an earring with no necklace because again, I think what I’ve done is already too much. With sandals to match the flower clip on my hair, I hang my purse on m
Trevor’s POVWhen I received the two-word text message from my father saying: [HOME. TODAY], I stared at it for minutes, gritting my teeth and expecting the text to turn into something else. It did not.I didn’t have to get there to know it. This summon had everything to do with what I saw during pack time. Sireen was feeding my parents with what I’m sure was what they wanted to talk to me about. Whatever her game plan is, it rattles me in ways words can’t express, but if my parents summoned me, I had to be there.And this is why at six pm in the evening, I’m back at the pack house, making my way to the cabin on the right where my parents live. This should also be my home, but they’ve done a fine job of making me uncomfortable every day without fail, so not anymore.As I push the front door open, my left hand is on the belt holding my pants up, and I roll my thumb over the surface of my handiwork’s hard leather, welcoming the coldness it brings over my palm. Stepping into the living r
Sireen’s POVIf looks could kill, my death would’ve been brutal, quick, but still more painful than a first shift. Trevor didn’t move, it felt as though he wasn’t breathing with the way all of his being was centered on me. Where I stood, I wanted the earth to swallow me whole and spit out my bones.There's no doubt that Trevor saw me and Mom speaking to his parents, hence his hostile looks directed at me. I thought I would be used to the glares by now, but this is unsettling. I don’t know if he heard what we discussed, but even if he did, what difference would it make? We were having dinner with his family.After what feels like hours of peeling me slowly and agonizingly, later by freaking layer, Trevor turns his back and retreats down the street, letting me know that he had just come to the gathering and left immediately.Because of me.Facing Mom, whose flattering smile is directed at two packmates my age, I grab her by the arm.“Mom. I don’t think it’s a good idea to have food with
Sireen’s POVFrom the corner of my eye, I see Alpha Ocean and Luna Elowen approaching, and I spin in the opposite direction. Camilla does the same immediately, even if I’m sure she has no idea.“What are we doing?” She whisper-shouts in a frenzy, and I reach for her left hand with mine.“Their son rejected me just days ago and will give my head to the lowest bidder if he can, so the last people I should be seen interacting with are his parents,” I say as fast as I can, and Camilla nods.“Oh.”I say a quick and quiet prayer that my mom leaves me out of this and doesn’t make me speak to them, but my prayer isn’t even completed before the wish is hacked from right under my feet.“Sireen.” It’s not even Mom who calls my name. It’s Luna Elowen.I turn around slowly, a crooked smile plastered across my face as I do so. Her face is as friendly as I remember, telling me that there’s really no need to run from her and her mate, but I can’t quite convince myself just yet.Right beside them, Mom
