Sierra povAs he sat close to me, I noticed how he kept getting closer. I turned to look at him and asked, "Are you okay?" He nodded and smiled at me, and I smiled back, taking in the sight of the beautiful flowers in the garden. The colors were so vibrant, and the scent was so sweet, it was hard not to feel happy here.Just as I was about to drift off into my own thoughts, Henry spoke, bringing me back to reality. "What will you do now that the right have been taken away from you?" he asked, and I turned to look at him, unsure of how to answer his question.What would I even do now that I'm no longer a Luna? I can't continue to live this way. I thought it was a good decision to accept Nora's invitation to stay with the Shadowclaws pack and maybe relax a bit. I looked at Henry, who was waiting for my response, and then I smiled and said, "Well, Nora has asked me to come over, so I guess in two days' time, I'll be leaving and heading to the Shadowclaws pack to maybe have a peaceful tim
Henry pov.As I entered the room, my eyes fell upon her form, lying there on the bed, her face twisted in pain. The sight of her suffering made me feel a surge of anger. I knew the reason for her illness - she hadn't had the chance to mate with William. The scent of sickness hung in the air, mingling with the smell of disinfectant and stale sheets.My mind raced as I thought of how I could make William pay for hurting her. I felt like I was on fire with fury.From the moment I first saw her in the castle, I was captivated. It was as if the world had come to a halt, and all I wanted was to be with her. But now, seeing her like this, my heart ached with sadness.Despite everything, I felt a glimmer of hope when I heard that she was going to set us free. And she did, just as she promised. But then came the news that William had gotten her friend pregnant, and I was at a loss for words.Every day, I saw her cry, and every day, my anger towards the Luna, who was supposed to be Sierra frien
Sierra pov.As I lay down, the sound of William and Henry's voices drifted through the air. I listened intently to their conversation, but I hesitated to open my eyes just yet. I wanted to stay cocooned in my own thoughts a little while longer.After a few moments, the room fell silent, and I heard the faint click of the door locking. Slowly, I rose to my feet, feeling a bit better than I had before.As I approached the door, I noticed that it was slightly ajar - Henry hadn't locked it properly. I slipped out into the hallway, trying to be as quiet as possible. I decided that it was safest to head to the library and stay there for a while.Suddenly, a loud voice shattered the quiet, coming from the direction of the kitchen. I recognized it immediately as Alex's, and wondered why she was always so cruel.Cautiously, I peeked into the kitchen and saw Alex holding a dirty plate, with food remnants still clinging to it. She approached Henry and handed him the plate. Then, without warning,
Sierra pov.I still can't believe that I kissed Henry. What was I thinking?I started packing a few clothes into my bag. I was feeling better now, and I thought it would be best if I just went to Nora's place.The smell of musty air in this castle was becoming unbearable, and I couldn't stand to see it happen.I ran around my room, searching for what I could wear in a week after I arrived at Nora's place. I knew Henry would be alone, but I just needed a place to cool off a bit. Seeing William all the time made me regret ever being here in the first place.After I was done packing, I let out a heavy breath and tried to think, looking around to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything else.I picked up my bag and opened the door to walk out, only to see Henry standing in the doorway."Do you have to go?" he asked, and I could see the sadness in his eyes. I smiled and moved a bit closer to him, staring into his eyes before speaking."I'm only staying at Nora's for a week, Henry. It's not l
Sierra pov.I watch as everyone in the castle runs out to see what's going on. I look at William with anger in my eyes as I stand and approach him."What's your problem?" I yell at his face, frustrated with the situation that just happened.I can see regret in his eyes, but he should have kept his anger to himself.I notice how the maids murmur among themselves, some even laughing. Alex probably deserves this, but it could have waited until after she gave birth.I walk away from William and rush to pick up Alex, who is on the ground, crying and holding her stomach.I lift her up and see blood stains on the ground. I look up at William with fear in my eyes, then back down at Alex who is still in tears.As William starts to walk closer to us, I yell at him to stop right there."Please, Sierra, let me take her to the hospital," he pleads.I don't listen to him as I look around, and my eyes spot Henry."Henry!" I yell his name, but he just stands there, staring."Henry, help!" This time I
Sierra pov.The news was devastating, Alex had lost her child. The weight of it all felt like it was crushing me into tiny pieces. I felt scared and confused, unsure of what to think or feel.The doctor left the and Nora and Henry came closer to me. Everything felt like it was turning upside down and I was on the verge of breaking apart any second.I felt Nora's hand on my shoulder and looked up to see her concerned expression. Tears were streaming down my face, and I knew deep down that everything was my fault."Why are you crying?" Nora asked, her voice almost a yell. "You should be happy that she deserves what she got. Instead of celebrating, you're busy crying. Come on, Sierra, most times you need to stop blaming yourself for everything."Her words hit me like a slap in the face. Was she trying to tell me that none of this was my fault? I stood up, feeling numb as I walked out of the hospital. Just as I was about to open the car door, it shut back and I looked up to see Henry."Wh
Sierra pov.The world around me grew quieter and quieter, until all I could hear was the pounding of my heart. I knew, in that moment, that I had made the biggest mistake of my life. My eyes darted around the castle, taking in the furious expressions of the men who were now advancing towards me.But just as they were about to unleash their anger, William stood up and faced them. "It's okay," he said. "She didn't mean it."Though his words seemed to pacify them somewhat, their scowls did not fade entirely. And then, suddenly, one of the men spoke out. "In the history of all werewolves," he began, "it has never been said for a woman to lay a hand on a man, especially when he's an Alpha."I tried to speak up, to explain myself, but they raised their hands in protest, silencing me. "You were chosen to be his mate," they continued, "but you failed in your duty to provide him with a child. And then, you went so far as to kill the child of Luna Alex. And now, you stand before us, having slap
Sierra pov.For days, I haven't seen Henry, and the fear of what he might be going through grips me. My life has become a never-ending nightmare. Each passing day, I close my eyes and wish the earth could swallow me whole. I feel lost, completely unaware of my surroundings.Like a puppet, I am in the hands of someone I once called a friend. William no longer looks at me, and it's as if my existence doesn't matter to him.I was once the girl who saved a beast and became a luna, but now my story has taken a different turn. I am a slave in the hands of the people I trusted.I yearn to go home, to be in the comforting arms of my mother and cry my eyes out, but I'm forbidden from leaving.My mother can't visit me in the castle anymore, and Nora, my fellow luna, is not allowed to make any decisions as she's not part of the lycan community.Every night, I wander out into the garden, searching for any sign of Henry. My heart aches with sadness as I look around, knowing he's not there.I gaze
