MAYAI took a step backward away from him, I was shocked by his accusations but that wouldn't stop me from doing what I came here to do. There was no way Alpha Erin could know what happened in my past, it was impossible."What do you mean by that, Alpha Erin?" I said in a scolding voice."You don't have to pretend, Maya." He was smiling at me.I paused.From the look in his eyes, it was as though he knew something but it wasn't possible, we were far away from Alpha Elvis and the others, Erin was just bluffing.That was what I tried telling myself but I was still finding it difficult to believe it myself. My heart sped up in panic as his eyes stared down at me accusingly. It was ages ago since I was looked down on in that manner but I held my chin up not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. "I would advise you, Alpha Erin, don't go about calling people names, in case you are not aware, that is defamation," I said with a frown on my face. I made sure to fold my arms
ZANEI could see the shock and panic in Maya's face as she sighted me. She wasn't expecting to see me at all. But I couldn't tell whether she was more shocked about my presence or the fact that I had called her mother. Nevertheless, I couldn't just watch another man touch the only mother figure in my life and go scout-free. Her mouth opened to speak as I approached them but she closed it back not knowing what to say, her eyes were as wide as saucers and her lips kept parting open and closing. I could tell that both men didn't have any good intentions about her, if not for my timely intervention, only the heavens knew what could have happened.The man holding Maya turned to stare at me. His anger-filled face on sighting me relaxed and his lips curled up in a smile."H.. hello young man." He said, as he allowed Maya's hand to fall out of his hold and he approached me.I sent him a glare, I must've looked like the angry version of Kane, he alone could muster a mean look without breakin
SIERRASuddenly, my eyes shot open, I was panting, it felt as though I couldn't breathe for a very long time so, I was panting for breath. The light was a little too bright making me groan and my eyes closed into slits as I struggled to keep them open against the lights."Pull down the window blinds." A voice ordered, "The light's too bright for her eyes." My feet scurried over to the window and soon my view felt better and my eyes fluttered open fully.Heads popped in my vision staring down at me with both worry and curiosity. My mates, Zane, Kane, and Dane were looking at me with worry laced in their eyes, turning over to the other side, Thane and my mom were staring at me with the same expression on their faces. I closed my eyes trying to reminisce about what had happened last. Kane!I recalled him being dragged in chains away from me, I recalled Kol dragging me off to a dungeon all alone, and after that, nothing. Kane's twisted face as the wolfbane burnt his flesh filled my he
SIERRAQuietly, I left my mother's room feeling even more confused than ever, I had no idea what was happening, I always managed to pass out after a series of events and then I would remember nothing. I kicked open my door and slumped on my bed feeling very exhausted than I was when I woke up. My eyes closed shut as I recalled the words of my mother. I could hear the ringing in my head.Someone rapped quickly on the door and pushed it open without waiting for my reply. I picked myself up to check who the invader was, my eyes landed on Zane. His eyes looked a bit worried as he approached me."Oh, it's you," I muttered, laying back down with my face to the ceiling."Hey Sierra, how are you feeling?" He asked sitting beside me."I'm okay," I muttered.The truth was that, I was very far from being okay, I was everything else but okay. But there was no way that I was going to tell him that."Look at me, Sierra." His voice was commanding and so unlike him, I was used to him being so nice
SIERRAI leaned into him as his arms wrapped around my waist pulling me even closer. His lips played with mine teasing me. I pushed myself up from the bed as his arms wrapped around my ass pulling me up so I sat on his lap almost straddling him in the process.His tongue played with mine asking for permission to explore my mouth, without thinking, my lips parted open giving him entrance. His tongue slid into my mouth exploring and appreciating every aspect of my body with his wandering hands.My middle arched desperately for his touch, as though he could sense it, his hands granted my wishes, and they slid up and down the bare flesh of my skin, his touch sent a wave of need over my body leaving a series of goosebumps and hair on my skin standing straight."Sierra.." his voice trailed away as he moaned my name. My hands too became very busy, they worked very hard separating the buttons from the holes in a bid to get underneath his clothes, I wanted to touch him too, and make him feel
SIERRAMy heart stopped as my eyes landed on the frightened maid standing by the door staring at the four of us in shock. I wasn't surprised at her reaction, anyone who walked in on three brothers being intimate with someone who was supposed to be their sister would react in that same manner. Before I could muster a word, the boys were already at the door. Dane held his hand over her mouth shutting her up. Kane kicked the door closed while Zane placed his hands over her head."What are you guys doing?" I whispered and yelled at them.They closed their eyes as they surrounded the young girl who stood quivering.This was becoming ridiculous, I couldn't help but stare at them in curiosity. The maid's eyes drifted to me, they were filled with panic, she averted her gaze back to Zane who stood before her with his hands on her head. They fluttered shut as though she was about to pass out."What are you guys doing?" I asked again wrapping the bed sheet over my naked body. "Wiping them out
ZANEJust as I raised my head to kiss Sierra, I was met with her closed eyes. Thinking she was just closing them out of pleasure, I pressed a kiss on her breast but she didn't budge."Did she just pass out?" I asked feeling confused as I gazed at her."Sierra!" I called but there was no answer."Don't tell me she fainted?" Dane and Kane said in unison as we stared at her closed eyes. Her face looked peaceful despite the sweat on her face. She looked as though she was well fucked. I smirked as I couldn't help but watch her in amazement. Sierra was one of a kind, who passed out just because of pleasure.Kane got up from the bed, he glanced around the room for his trousers and Dane did the same."Are you sure she's fine?" I asked watching her. Her breathing was so low that it could barely be heard, but her chest heaved up and down making her soft boobs raise up and down at her inhale and exhale of breath."She looks fine." Dane commented placing his hand underneath her nose, "She's sti
KANEMy eyes rested on Zane's face, he couldn't deny that he had been caught, he and Maya had been busy creating secrets behind my father's back. He might have tried to hide it but Maya hadn't been discreet enough, she had no idea that we were in the bathroom. Zane, ignoring us, walked towards the bed where Sierra lay. I stopped him by grabbing him by the arm."What was that all about?" I asked trying not to sound too controlling or angry.Zane shrugged off my hand as though he was disgusted by my hold. "It's nothing." He muttered making me scoff in disbelief."Nothing?" I asked trying to keep my voice low and my anger in check."Yes, it's nothing." He replied diverting his movements as he walked towards Sierra's dressing table. "We heard everything she said, what was it all about?" Dane asked standing beside me.What was it that Maya and Sierra were hiding? Zane too must have discovered it but he was tight-lipped, he would rather remain silent than reveal what it was.How bad was
SIERRAI stood frozen, my eyes wide and my stomach turning. The rabbits weren’t moving anymore. The white one had stopped twitching first, then the brown one slumped beside it. My hands were still outstretched, fingers trembling as the energy from the failed spell faded into the air like smoke.The silence that followed was unbearable. It was as if the whole world had paused to judge me, to make me feel the weight of what I had just done. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t even blink. All I could do was stare at what my magic had done.The warlock didn’t say anything at first. He just walked up to the small wooden pen, stood over the lifeless bodies, and looked down with a heavy sigh. His face gave nothing away, no anger, no sadness, just quiet acceptance of the outcome. Then he slowly turned to face me."This," he said, his voice low and sharp like a blade slicing through still air, "is what would have happened to your sister and Ariel if you had jumped into this blindly."The words hit
SIERRAI had just finished spending time with my mates. My body still felt warm, and for once, my mind was quiet. I was finally beginning to feel like myself again.But then I heard shouting from outside.My heart jumped. I threw on a robe and rushed out.I barely made it past the hallway before I saw everyone gathered in the courtyard. And in the middle of it all… Ariel. Screaming. Crying. Holding a knife.“What the hell?” I whispered under my breath, my eyes widening.“I said let me in!” she yelled, her voice cracking. “You’re not the only one who loves them! I deserve to be in there too!”She was pointing the knife at her own chest, trembling like she was seconds away from doing something stupid.I didn’t even think twice.I raised my hand and whispered the first protection spell that came to mind. A shield burst around her in a dome of blue light. The moment it closed around her, the knife fell from her hand and clattered to the floor.She looked around in confusion, then rage.“W
ARIELI paced the hallway, scowling, my arms folded tightly across my chest. For the fifth time, I tried to step forward, right into the damn hallway, and for the fifth time, it felt like I’d slammed into a wall. But there was no wall. Just… air. Heavy, invisible, and impossible to pass through."What the hell is going on?" I growled, pushing again, harder this time. Nothing. It was like the space itself refused to let me through. My breath hitched as anger flared in my chest. I wasn’t someone who got denied things. Not rooms. Not people. Not Dane.I turned on my heels and stormed down the hallway, heading straight for Maya’s quarters. If anyone knew what kind of stupid magic trick was being pulled, it had to be Sierra. I knew her mother was always around the others. Always listening. Watching, and I needed to see her, and I asked what the hell was going on.When I got to her door, I didn’t knock, I kicked it. Hard.“Ariel?” Maya’s voice called out, soft and hesitant. She opened the d
SIERRAThe warmth of their arms around me made it easier to breathe. The tension that had wrapped around my chest like a tight rope was starting to loosen, bit by bit. Zane’s steady heartbeat under my cheek, Dane’s arms around my waist, and the calmness in Kane’s eyes, everything felt safe here. I felt like I was finally home.But it wasn’t just the comfort. It was the way they looked at me. The way they held me was like I was the most precious thing in the world. Like they’d fight the stars if it meant keeping me safe. I hadn’t realized how much I needed them until this moment. I needed to feel wanted, needed to be touched, loved, needed to feel alive again.“I’ve missed this,” I whispered, glancing up at Zane, my fingers gently resting on his chest.“We’ve missed you more,” he replied softly, brushing his lips over my forehead.“I don’t like seeing you this stressed,” Dane murmured behind me, nuzzling into the crook of my neck. “Let us help you relax.”Kane was kneeling beside me ag
SIERRAI ran out of the room angrily and frustrated. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I didn’t want to explain how I felt, not even to Alpha Thane. I just needed to get away, to let the frustration and fear out in a way that made sense. And that’s why I shifted.The air felt cold on my fur as I ran, my paws pounding the earth beneath me, my mind barely able to process anything except the need to escape. My heart was racing, and the adrenaline pumping through my body only made the anger and fear swirl together like a violent storm.I ran deeper into the woods, ignoring the world around me, just focused on the rhythmic pounding of my paws. The trees blurred by in a mixture of green and brown, the earth beneath me firm and solid. But even in my wolf form, the worry gnawed at my insides, and all I wanted was for the weight to lift, even if just for a moment.Eventually, the tension in my body started to ease just a little, but I wasn’t running anymore. I slowed down and then stopped, my b
SIERRAI walked into the room, my mind racing with questions. The man, the warlock, was standing by a table covered in books and strange artifacts. His eyes flickered up when I entered, and I could feel the weight of his gaze. He knew why I was here."You are here," he said, his voice calm but heavy with something I couldn't place.I didn't waste time with pleasantries. "I need your help," I said bluntly. "I need to learn how to use my powers. And I need to do it fast."The warlock raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable. "Binding spells," he said slowly, almost to himself, "are tricky. Especially one like the one you're asking for."I didn’t have the patience for his caution. "I don’t care about how tricky it is," I snapped. "I need to stop her. Ariel is... she’s going to ruin everything. I can’t let that happen. I just need to know how to make it work."He looked at me, the seriousness in his eyes growing. "Binding spells are not something to take lightly. They tie you to someo
SIERRAI could feel my whole body burning with anger as Ariel’s voice cut through the garden like a sharp knife. She just stood there, smirking at us like she hadn’t just interrupted something important, something real.I turned to her, fists clenching at my sides. "Don’t you have anything better to do than irritate me?" I snapped, my voice louder than I intended. Dane shifted uncomfortably behind me, but I didn’t care. I was tired of her games.Ariel just giggled like I had told her a joke. "Nope," she said with a sweet shrug. "Turns out, irritating you is way more fun than I ever thought it would be."I wanted to slap that smug smile off her face. I really did. But I held myself back because that's exactly what she wanted, to push me until I broke.Then she turned her full attention to Dane, her smile softening in a way that made my stomach twist in disgust. "I miss Dane," she said in a whiny voice. "I want him to stay with me for a while."I stepped protectively in front of Dane w
DANEI woke up to the sound of soft giggles.My head felt heavy, like I’d slept for days, and for a second, I didn’t even know where I was. But then I blinked and saw her, Ariel, sitting at the edge of the bed, grinning at me like I was some kind of adorable pet.“You look so cute when you’re sleeping,” she said in a sing-song voice.My whole body tensed up instantly. Memories rushed back….the food, the plan, everything. I shot up, heart pounding.“What happened?” I croaked, throat dry.Ariel gave a playful shrug, almost like she was proud of herself. “You tried to drug me, silly. But I’m smarter than that.” She leaned in closer, lowering her voice like she was sharing a secret. “I swapped the plates. You ate the laced one instead.”I cursed under my breath and swung my legs off the bed. I couldn’t even look at her as I stood up."Aw, don't be mad," Ariel called after me as I stormed toward the door. "You needed the rest anyway!"I didn’t answer. I just left.When I finally made it do
SIERRAI didn’t move. None of us did. We just stood there and took it as Ariel laughed like we were the biggest fools she had ever seen. Her voice echoed off the walls, high and sharp, like a knife digging into my already shredded nerves.“Oh, my sweet, sweet Sierra,” she said between giggles, wiping a fake tear from the corner of her eye. “You actually think a few little weeds are going to save your precious sister from me?”I kept my face blank, even though my heart was hammering against my ribs. If I gave her any more reason to doubt me, she would tear us all apart.Ariel circled slowly around me, hands clasped behind her back, her boots clicking softly against the floor. I could feel the others tense up, ready to move if she tried anything.She leaned in close, so close I could smell the sickly sweet scent of her perfume. “You have no idea what you’re dealing with,” she whispered. “No idea how deep this bond goes.”I clenched my teeth to keep from flinching. I would not give her t
