Sierra pov.
I opened my eyes, realizing I was back in my room, on my bed, and lying down. Quickly, I stood up and looked around, trying to recall how I had come back into my room. The room was dimly lit, and the air was still.
The door opened, and I saw my mom with a tray of food in her hands, walking over to me. As she placed the tray by my bedside, she held my hands with a sad face. I could smell the aroma of freshly baked bread and warm soup from the tray.
"Sierra," she called out my name and looked up at me with tears in her eyes. "I know this is when I will have to say goodbye to you, but could you stay with me for just a day, so I can spend some time with my daughter?"
Overcome with emotion, I pulled my mom closer to me and hugged her tightly. She was the only one I had, and today was the day I would say goodbye to her.
"Mother," I whispered, my eyes now filled with tears. "I'm going to miss you, mom."
I looked over at the food and took the tray, placing it on my lap, and started eating. Despite the sadness, I felt hungry, and the food tasted comforting.
After I was done, I kept the tray back on the lamp stand and looked over at my mom, who was sitting there looking at me. As she stood up to leave, I held her hands, pulling her closer to me, and hugged her again.
"Please, mom, can you stay here with me, even if it's just for a little while?"
She smiled and nodded, and I moved aside, and she got into the bed, sitting close to me. We held each other's hands for almost an hour, and I didn't want it to end. I could feel the softness of her skin against mine, and it was as if I was holding onto a piece of home.
After a while of staring at the roof, I fell asleep, feeling the warmth of my mom's hands around me like a protective shield.
I open my eyes as I saw my mom waking me up. I look around, seeing I was still in my room, and my mother had tears on her face. The sight of her tears made my heart sink.
"What happened, mom?" I ask, my voice thick with sleep.
She pulls me into a hug, and I can feel her body shaking. I wrap my arms around her, feeling the warmth of her embrace.
"I will miss you, Sierra," she says, her voice trembling.
I pull my mom even closer to me, and we cry together, saying goodbye to everything I have ever dreamed of.
As I stand up and walk over to my window, I can see the car parked outside waiting for me. The sight of it makes my stomach twist with anxiety.
I walk into the bathroom, and the smell of lavender fills my nose. I take my clothes off, revealing the scar on my back. It's a mark of bravery and wisdom, my father had always said.
After I finish bathing, I walk out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body. My mom sits on the bed, holding a dress in her hands. It's the same dress my father had promised to buy me before he was killed.
I walk over to her, and we hug again. The tears won't stop falling from my eyes. After I finish crying, I put on the dress and look at myself in the mirror. I feel like a princess going to a ball party.
Just then, my mother takes my hand, and we walk out of my room. As we descend the stairs, I can hear the sound of Nora and Alex's voices. They're already waiting for me.
I run towards them, the sound of my bare feet pounding on the wooden floors. I hug them tightly, feeling the warmth of their bodies. It's time to go, time to say goodbye to everything I have ever known.
"We are going to miss you, Sierra," Nora says as she cries on my shoulder.
"Please, Sierra, don't go."
I look at Alex, her face already covered in tears. I move towards her and use my dress to wipe away her tears.
"Don't worry, Alex. I will be okay."
After I hug all of them, I step out of my house, noticing almost half of the students present just to say goodbye.
I hug the few I could as they all bid farewell to me. I walk over to the car as the driver closes it and takes his seat.
I watch as everyone keeps on saying goodbye, and I smile and wave back to them. Soon, the car drives, and I can see everyone fading away from me.
I relax a little bit on the car seat, closing my eyes to relax and prepare for whatever happens.
"My Queen, what would you like to get before I take you to the Palace? The Aloha had ordered me to get you anything you want before your arrival."
I open my eyes and stare at him when he says that. I wanted to say I'm okay, but then I remember I didn't bring any clothes with me.
I tell him to take me to the mall, and he does that without saying anything. He pays for everything I pick up, and I'm surprised because even with the expensive items.
As we start heading back to the castle, I breathe out because I know my new life has just begun.
Soon, I fall asleep after a long ride, feeling weak. I feel a tap on my leg, and I open my eyes to see the driver smiling at me.
"We are here, My Queen."
I open my eyes and look around as I see how big the place is. I step out of the car and feel my body becoming cold.
"This is it," I whisper. "Time for a new beginning."
Sierra pov.It had been three months since I lost my child, and I was still residing in Dean Castle. I felt scared because Linda, without fail, always made sure my life became a living hell.I had tried everything to be kind to her, but she incessantly blamed me for joining the Ghost Pack and stealing Dean away from her, which was far from the truth.Most of the time, I hid in my room, afraid to come out, as if this were just another nightmare to endure.As I sat on my bed, contemplating my next move, a knock on the door startled me. I gazed at it with trepidation as it slowly opened, revealing Linda's presence.I wondered why she had come or if she had come to turn my life into a living nightmare.I observed as she approached me with a smile and sat down beside me. It was the first time she smiled at me, and I couldn't discern if it was a jest or if she had genuinely decided to be pleasant."Are you okay?" I inquired, as she continued to gaze at me, her smile still intact.I remained
Alex pov.After we both started walking, I couldn't help but hold onto William's arm tightly, and soon we arrived at the castle."Why did you leave without telling me?" I heard him say, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and concern, as I turned to look at him."Well, I thought you needed some time alone," I replied, trying to explain my actions.Upon hearing my response, he gently turned me around, his strong grip enveloping my hands, and locked his gaze with mine."You're going to be my Luna soon, so why don't you start acting like one?" he said, his tone both gentle and commanding.I pulled my hands away from his, feeling a surge of frustration rise within me, as I continued to stare at him intently."Well, you never stop thinking about her, so how am I supposed to feel comfortable telling you that I want to take a walk outside the castle?" I shouted, my voice echoing through the empty halls. Realizing the intensity of my outburst, I took a deep breath and glanced up at Willi
Alex pov.For days now, I haven't laid eyes on Sierra (which was actually a good thing). I glide through my castle with a sense of pride, knowing that soon all of this will be mine.The past few days have left me astounded. William hasn't driven me away or uttered a single complaint about Sierra. The thought of her has not crossed his lips.I close my eyes, and a cool breeze gently passes through me, bestowing upon me a profound sense of calm and relaxation.If Sierra hasn't returned yet, does it mean she might have gone with Henry?Confusion engulfs me, and I struggle to discern my thoughts. It feels as if my mind is teetering on the edge of insanity. What if Sierra has informed him that I abducted her? Will all my plans crumble to dust?Placing my hands on my head, I attempt to ease my troubled mind and temporarily forget about Sierra."I believe it is time for a walk downtown," I whisper with a smile, embarking on a journey beyond the castle walls.The way the people show their res
Sierra pov.Hearing those words, I couldn't help but lose focus on myself, as if the world had already forgotten about me. The weight of Dean's gaze filled me with guilt, and I felt as if my life had become an utter mess."I'm sorry," Dean kept saying, his eyes filled with pity and hurt."Why me?" I whispered, feeling weak and bewildered, no longer knowing what was happening around me.Dean moved closer, pulling me gently until my head rested on his shoulder. Tears flowed uncontrollably from my eyes, and I felt utterly shattered, as if the world had turned its back on me."Why do I have to face such bad luck? Why does it have to be me? What has my child done to deserve being taken away from me? Why?" My words barely escaped my lips, choked with pain.I couldn't help but feel broken inside, and Dean held me tightly. Regret washed over me, realizing that coming here had been a mistake. What would happen when Henry and Williams found out that my child was gone?What would Williams do if
Sierra pov.I quickly pulled away after hearing that shout—it was Linda's voice, and I think she caught us.I was so caught off guard that I didn't know what I had just done. I ran away and headed to the bathroom, quickly locking the door behind me.What is going on with me? Why am I making such mistakes? I felt helpless, so I cried, not knowing what to do.I think it's best if I just leave this place; otherwise, everything will only get worse by the second.I was so scared of myself; I hated what I had just done every second.I stayed there, and Dean kept calling my name, asking me to open the door, but I just sat there, not even getting up.This was worse than what I faced in the Lycan pack. Isn't it better if I just stayed there and became a slave for everyone to use?"Sierra, open up," Dean's voice pleaded, but I remained silent."Please, just open it. I'm sorry."Hearing him say that, I felt like hitting him. Did he just say he was sorry? He said the opposite a minute ago, and al
Sierra pov.I pushed him away forcefully, my instinct taking control, and without a second thought, I slapped him. Fear washed over me immediately, consuming my senses, as I grappled with the reality of what I had just done."Sorry," I whispered softly, my voice barely audible, as I turned on my heels and fled towards the solace of my room.Upon reaching the refuge of my chamber, I closed the door behind me with a heavy heart, leaning against it for support. Confusion swirled within me, for he didn't even know me, yet professed his love.I covered my face with trembling hands, resting my head on my knees, desperately trying to make sense of the chaos that had entered my life. Why had the Goddess chosen to subject me to this living nightmare?The weight of the world seemed to descend upon me, as if doomsday itself loomed on the horizon, ready to crash down upon me without mercy. I couldn't shake the feeling that my life had become a tangled mess, and the timing couldn't have been worse
