Mates Deception SIX
Stupid Sirella…Why is it so dark? Wait a minute… Where am I, and what’s happening?You’ll never be loved…Who’s saying that?“This pain you’re feeling…? It’s your fault, you brought it on yourself. You should have known your place, Sirella. This was never possible. You should have made me reject you the first time we met.”I know… Please, stop…“Sirella, you were never supposed to be in this position in the first place. What we had was… fun. But it was never meant to last. You need to understand something. I have a duty to this pack. I can’t throw that away for a maid.”Someone, anyone, please wake me up!I stirred from my dream to the smell of stew cooking, and a gentle nudge to my arm. The Gamma nudged me and tilted his head to the direction of the pot bubbling over the hearth.“What happened? How did I fall asleep? What time is it? Why does my head hurt? And for the moon goddess’ sake, where are my clothes??” I asked, becoming increasingly agitated with each question I fired to him

The next morning, Gam and I went to my home, so I could see my mum and fill her in on our current situation.When we got to our modest ground floor, two-bedroom house that my mum had worked very hard to furnish, and make a home that I always identified with peace and happiness despite all of our struggles, I all of a sudden dreaded going in to see her. I still had so many unknowns, so many unanswered questions that I knew my mum would ask, hell, I always had her curious streak, right from birth.How am I going to answer her questions, when I don’t even have the full idea of what happened? Or what is still happening? Could I ever tell her about Damien? I asked myself.No, not yet. Whenever such a detail is important, I’ll mention it, but until then, that’s my heartache to bear, on my own, I concluded.Gam and I stood side by side in front of the door, and, oddly enough, his presence was… oddly comforting.Mate… my wolf purred inside me.Don’t even think about it, Reahn… I thought, addre

SIRELLAHe backed away then, but not because of my mom. His phone was ringing.“Sirella! What is really going on?” My mother’s voice pulled me back, and it was only then I really stopped to look at her.She looked exhausted, dark circles shadowing her eyes, her skin pale and dull—worse than when she was sick.I shook my head. She didn’t need my worries on top of whatever was already weighing her down. “It’s you I’m worried about. You don’t look too good—”“I’m fine,” she cut in quickly. Too quickly. My stomach twisted. Something was wrong.I took a deep breath. “Mom, if you—”“Sirella, I said I’m fine. Now let’s talk about you. Who’s that man outside? Is he your mate? Did the Moon pair you with that brute?”“No, Mom, he’s not my mate,” I sighed. At least, I didn’t know yet if he was a mate or a mark.I hesitated before continuing. “Mom, I’m working on something for the Alpha’s son. I’m working with that guy over there, so I may not be coming home often. I’m telling you now so you don’t

SIRELLAIf there was one thing I was sure about, it was that this man was definitely a trained killer. His aura alone sent chills down my spine.I woke up in complete darkness. The air was heavy with the scent of damp wood and something else—Blood? I wasn’t sure, but the thought made my stomach turn . I blinked, trying to adjust to the void around me, but there was nothing. No light, no shadows, just pitch black.I wanted to scream. My throat burned with the urge to let out all my fear and frustration, but I forced myself to stay quiet. I had no idea where I was or who else could be here. One wrong move, one loud sound, and I could be dead before I even figured out how to escape.How did I get here? Why did I let this happen? All because of Damien.My life had been quiet and peaceful before I met him. He took my heart, my trust, my innocence—and then tossed me aside like I was nothing. Now, I was trapped in this nightmare, caught in a Moonbane mission I never asked for.And my mother

I couldn’t sleep all night. Every time I closed my eyes, the same thoughts plagued my mind. Was this my life now? Stuck in the middle of nowhere, training for a mission I didn’t even understand? How long were we going to be here?The moment the first rays of sunlight crept through the small window, I knew sleep had officially left me. My body ached in places I hadn’t expected to be sore. With a groan, I forced myself to sit up. The small bed I laid on felt stiff , much like the man who had forced me into this situation.I pushed myself to my feet and walked to the window, my fingers gripping the wooden frame as I stared outside. The scenery was breathtaking. Tall trees surrounded the cabin, their leaves moving lazily in the morning breeze. For a second, I allowed myself to take in the beauty of the wilderness.But reality crashed down on me just as quickly. I had no idea where we were. Was this still Alpha Damien’s pack territory, or had we crossed into the Blood Moon Pack’s land? Th

The sun was setting by the time he woke up. He stepped out of the cabin, wearing fresh shorts and a tank top, his grumpy expression making it clear he had just woken from a deep sleep. For once, the sharp edge he usually carried was dulled, softened by the haze of sleep. In that moment, he looked less like the cold, ruthless warrior I had come to know and more like a big, muscular baby. My wolf reacted instinctively, a low purr rumbling in my chest. I forced it down. This was ridiculous.He moved to the small wooden porch outside the cabin and sat down, his sharp eyes locking onto me. "What have you done today?" His voice was low but carried the same authoritative weight it always did. Just like that, the softness from before was gone, replaced by his usual cold demeanor.Come to think of it, he had never once called me by my name. I didn't even know how it would sound on his lips. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to hear it—but I was curious nonetheless."Can I get my food, please?"I froze

I woke up to the sweet smell of porridge. The night had moved so fast. You know when the days feel longer and the nights feel shorter? That’s exactly how it felt. But even with how short the night seemed, I woke up more confused than ever.I couldn’t remember if last night was a dream or reality. He had said some things—things I couldn’t quite recall—but I remembered one thing clearly: he had called me by my name. Sirella.It sounded so good in my ears.For some reason, I woke up in a good mood, like I had finally been acknowledged. Accepted. Like the heavy tension between us had broken, even if just a little. I felt lighter, free to be myself to a degree.It was a feeling of comfort I hadn’t felt since I arrived at the cabin. I found myself humming my favorite tune as I got out of bed and went to freshen up.I frowned every time I wore his clothes because of how big they were on me. But today, I picked the dress I had worn on my first night here. I even made an effort to style my hair

He got back home when it was getting dark, returning with a deer slung over his shoulders. I’ve always wondered how he hunts—he never comes home empty-handed. He doesn’t use a gun like normal hunters. Instead, he relies on ancient weapons like bows and arrows, spears, and daggers. He must be a master at it, I thought to myself, watching him with the little strength I had left.I hadn’t eaten all day. I was still sitting at the table where he had left me, contemplating my life, trying to analyze the food and detect the poison. After hours of staring at the plates, my head aching from the effort, I gave up. There was no way for me to figure it out. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of slowly dying in this forest, proving his point that I was weak.I weighed my options. On one hand, if I ate, at least I’d have food in my stomach. But at what cost? There was no doctor around. If I chose wrong, I’d be dead. I couldn’t risk it. I’d rather starve than take that chance.He dropped t

Sirella’s povPacing around with my heart beating fast, I didn’t know what to do. I knew something had to be done or I would be in serious trouble. That bastard of an alpha needed to be on the battlefield if I was going to be free from whatever shackles he had on me. I needed Kieran to kill him. It was the only way I would be able to free myself.With him back here, everything had changed, it was dangerous now. More than before.I needed to do something as I got out of my room. I didn’t pause as I quickly made my way through the corridors not wanting anyone to see me right now. Two guards stood near the stairs talking in low voices and I immediately turned back around taking the longer route instead. I needed to get to my room first and get my phone out of hiding. I needed Kieran’s voice right now.When I made it to my room I quickly locked the door and pressed myself against it. My hands wouldn’t stop trembling. I crossed over to my desk and took hold of my phone before dialling Kier

Donovan’s povI walked into my throne room that morning. The heavy doors opened as I approached, and a slant of the coming winter sun crossed before me to lay its brightness on the far wall. I looked in that direction without interest or pleasure.Three generals were drawn up there, waiting.“Good morning, Alpha,” they all bowed and said.I walked slowly with my boots tapping on the marble floor. I reached my seat and sat down on my black throne and kept one leg over the other.“Well?” I said, looking at the man to the far left. “Report.”One of my generals, a tall guy with a scar across his chin, stepped forward to speak. “We’ve reached battlefield contact, Alpha. We’ve established our camps. The troops are prepared.”I nodded. “And Salvatore?”“We haven’t seen him yet,” another general said. “But reports say he is close. They are setting their own camps as well.”“Setting camps,” I scoffed. “He might as well be laying his deathbed because I’ll make sure this isn’t like before. I’ll

Sirella’s povI woke up that morning with a burdened heart. My chest felt constricted and my hands were icy, though it wasn’t from the chill. I just had so much on my mind.I wanted so much to talk to Kieran at least once before he would get to the war and start fighting. Already I was missing him, I just needed to hold him even if it was just for a few seconds. He was the only one who could make me feel okay. At least while all this war was going on, I just wanted to know how to go through this tough time without even thinking of the sad times we were going through.I strolled the room, the world beyond the door was hushed, unnaturally so.Something would happen, I could feel it. Deep in my bones I knew something heavy was about to happen. I didn’t know what but I knew that it would be something big.I couldn’t stop the war, but I could be able to help in the little way I could.I looked out of my window to see so many warriors still leaving for the war with Donovan and his son Dami
Mates Deception 135
Authors povThe march had begun.Wolves padded through the forest in a silent train, barely stirring the leaves as they traveled single-file behind their Alpha, Salvatore. The war was upon them. Hot breath streamed from their nostrils making white puffs that hung in the stagnant air. No one spoke, their thoughts too occupied with what was coming.Salvatore was proud of this movement. Minus the last time he had attacked, this would be an official battle that would drive those idiots to the edge and he would have the chance to take them down. He smiled within himself as he knew that there was no use in lying to himself. He would make sure they regretted coming to him for anything. He would destroy them.But Kieran had other plans.He stopped walking and dropped back until he was near the rear of the group. Then he walked up to Salvatore, his voice low.“Alpha, I have to leave. There’s something important I need to do.”Salvatore turned, his eyes narrow slits. He couldn’t believe that h
Mates Deception 134
Kieran’s POVThe cheers in the war room were still ringing in my ears. My face stayed neutral, but inside, I felt sick.They had no idea.None of them did.Not Salvatore. Not his trusted generals.And yet they all clapped for me, thinking I was one of them.I stared at the map again, the valley, the forest… the places I had just mentioned.I was marking death zones — but not for the people they thought.Everything I said in that room would help my allies, not Salvatore’s army.“Excellent idea,” Salvatore said with a slight smirk, standing and clapping my shoulder. “You’re sharp, Kieran. You remind me of myself when I was younger.”I forced a smile.I wanted to punch him.But not yet.Later that NightThe packhouse was quiet, except for the guards at the doors and the distant hoot of an owl. I moved quietly down the hallway, my footsteps light on the stone floors.My room was dark when I entered, just how I liked it. But I didn’t rest. I couldn’t. Not with the war coming.I sat at my d
Mates Deception 133
Authors povThe generals slapped Kieran on the back.Warriors grinned and shouted his name. But Kieran only smiled a little.Inside, he had plans of his own.He wasn’t really fighting for Salvatore. He was just humoring him.Everyone went on to talk but said nothing important.Meanwhile, in Donovan’s territory...Inside Donovan’s war room, the tension was palpable.There was a large map on the wall.Candles were burning.Donovan sat at the head of the table, his arms crossed.Beside him stood his son, Damien.The war Generals, strong wolves with cold eyes, were around them.“Let’s begin.” Donovan said.One of the generals opened a scroll.“My Alpha,” he said, bowing, “the spies have all returned.“And what did they discover?” Donovan asked quietly.The general pointed at the map.“They found Salvatore’s traps in the forest. They found guards by the river. But they also found a weak spot.”“A weak spot?” Donovan asked, leaning forward.“Yes, here,” the general said and he pointed to
Mates Deception 132
Kieran’s povI snuck out of the barn, as silent as I possibly can as I made my way walking and slightly jogging.I got to the edge of the pack and zipped away with my super speed. The trees blurred by as I moved without holding back.I had to get out of Donovan's land and fast. I ran, and ran until I found myself at the borderlands between my pack's territory.I didn’t stop there either. I kept moving until I saw an old broken-down building far ahead.It was dark and there were no people around, perfect.As I ran, I got a call from someone as I halted and listened to the call. The allies I had sent messages to were at the building waiting for me. Good.I then walked up to the building and I noticed a couple of shadowy figures standing at.They were not moving, their gaze anchored to the shadows.I approached them with stealthy steps.They saw me and relaxed a little. “You made it,” one of them said.“Yeah,” I panted. “I’m here.”“And no one saw you?”“No,” I said. “I’ve been careful.
Mates Deception 131
Sirella’s povI could feel their eyes on me all throughout the day as I got out of my room after having my bath. I knew some of the guards watched and followed me and I knew who had sent them.Even when I went to my room, sometimes I’d hear footsteps outside.I knew they had been sent by Donovan.The trust was gone. He didn't believe me anymore.And he wanted to follow me, to see if I made a mistake.I kept my head low, pretending not to see them.I was careful about everything I did.Finally the day got over. I was sitting in my room on my bed with an open useless book, just pretending to read it.The house was quiet now.Most of the wolves were asleep.Even the guards had relaxed a little, but I knew they were still there, hiding in the dark corners.Then my phone vibrated.I jumped a little.I quickly grabbed it and checked the screen.Kieran.My heart started to race.I opened the message. “I’m at the barn. Come.”I got up slowly, trying not to make any noise.It was risky but I h

Sirella’s povI as sirella sat on the dusty floor. Cracks lined the walls and I admired how quiet it was here. It was always cold and dark. That’s what I loved most about this place. I held the phone in my hand tightly as I called Kieran. My hands were shaking a little but I still pinched myself every now and then to be more confident in myself.Finally, after a few rings, he picked up. “Sirella?” Kieran’s voice came through the phone. It sounded worried.“Hey, I’m here,” I said as I looked around to make sure no one was listening.“Are you okay?” He asked. “What’s going on?”I took in deep breaths and closed my eyes for a moment.How could I tell him? How could I tell him what I had witnessed? How could I tell him Donovan and Damien were more evil than we realized? I was already tired of saying that to him and I was sure he knew.“I’m alright,” I said after a second, keeping my voice steady."Sirella," Kieran said slowly, like he didn't believe me. "Don't lie to me." "I'm not lyin
