SIENNA

When I woke up the next morning, the camp was buzzing. Not the usual chatter of morning duties, this was sharper, heavier, like everyone was holding their breath and waiting for someone to pull the trigger.

I stepped out of my tent, clutching the thin blanket around my shoulders. The air was damp and cold, carrying the smell of smoke and wet earth. Two rogues standing by the fire stopped talking the second they saw me. One of them, a scarred man named Bren, tilted his head just enough to let me know they’d been talking about me.

Typical.

I ignored them and kept walking toward the kitchen hut. My body still ached from the fall, and every step felt like I was being reminded of the mess I’d been dragged into. I wasn’t even sure if I was angry anymore. Just tired.

Inside, the morning fire was already lit. I grabbed a kettle and started boiling water, pretending not to notice the silence that followed me everywhere I went these days.

“Morning,” a soft voice said behind me.

    SIENNA“Slow down.”“I am walking,” I said, even though I knew I wasn’t.Rhys’s hand hovered near my elbow as we moved down the corridor, not touching but close enough to catch me if I stumbled. That alone made my chest ache. I hated that everyone suddenly walked like I might shatter if they breathed too hard around me.“I can feel your pulse racing,” he said quietly. “You don’t have to prove anything to anyone tonight.”“I’m not,” I replied. “I’m just… tired.”That part was true. The anger had carried me through the council chamber, through the raised voices and the stunned silence, but now that we were alone, it drained out of me like blood from an open wound.Inside our chambers, Rhys shut the door and leaned his forehead against it for a moment.“You scared them,” he said.“Good.”He turned to look at me. “You scared me.”That softened something in my chest. “I didn’t mean to.”“I know,” he said. “That’s what scares me.”I lowered myself onto the bed slowly, exhaling as the weight

    SIENNA“No.”That was the first word out of my mouth when Kai told me the council had ended.He stared at me across the table, arms crossed, jaw tight. “That’s not an answer to anything I said.”“It’s an answer to all of it,” I snapped. “You don’t get to discuss my life, my body, and my children in a room full of elders and then come here acting like I’ll just accept it.”Kai exhaled slowly. “Sienna, calm down.”“Don’t tell me to calm down,” I shot back. “Damon invokes an ancient law everyone agrees should never be used again, and suddenly I’m a divine advantage? A sign? A reason the Moon Goddess will ‘favor’ us?”“That’s not how I see it.”“I don’t care how you see it,” I said. “I care how they do.”Kai didn’t answer, and that silence told me everything.“So,” I continued, my voice shaking now, “what’s the plan? Since everyone else already has one.”“We fortify. We delay. We prepare,” he said. “Rhys thinks Damon wants us to strike first.”“And you?” I asked.“I think Damon wants bloo

    RHYSDamon had just put me up to a challenge and I knew I couldn’t back down. What he had just invoked was something that shouldn’t even be thought of much less discussed but he had done it without any single regard for anyone. I knew I shouldn’t expect less, seeing the kind of person he was but yet again, I was surprised he could go quite so far in enacting his revenge.“What are we going to do, Alpha?” one of the elders said.After he left, we had called an emergency meeting with all of them, which was important at this point because we all knew that Damon would make do with his promise and we didn’t want to be caught unawares.“We have no other choice but to respond in kind. Damon has brought this war on us and we have to respond appropriately. We are not going to back down. He wants to fight? Then we will give him the fight of his life.”“But you know we are not yet equipped to take that kind of heat, Rhys, we aren’t yet. Doing that might as well run us to the ground. You know how

    SIENNAInvoking the ancient law was something that shouldn’t even be thought of lest uttered out and now, Damon had said it to the hearing of everyone around. He knew what he was doing by the look of mock triumph on his face. He knew that Rhys would never be able to get himself out of that, he would want to take the bait, which he had taken again. That was what Damon wanted, to cause anarchy and he had successfully done that.“What?! Do you know what you are saying?” I snapped.Tensions were high with each side, guarding their men. Damon’s men were ready to fight, to let loose on Rhys’ men who wanted to draw blood. I knew there was no getting out of this, not now or ever and it was either we fought or nothing.“Yes. If you will not come with me and have these pups in my pack where might I remind you, you belong then I can only invoke the law and none of you will be so stupid to back down from this.” he said, looking around.There was anger in his eye and I knew he was ready to risk it

    SIENNA“I have come to you in peace, simply because I do not want to fight. You have what is mine, give them to me or else, there will be war.” Damon thundered.I shook with fear, my body vibrating with so much anger, confusion and hurt. This was the first time I heard his voice and I didn’t know how to feel about it. I knew I couldn’t give him what he wanted, that was one thing I would never do but at the same time, I knew I needed to do what was right for the sake of everyone within the pack. Lives were at stake, and the earlier I got on with this, the better for everyone.In an act of boldness, I walked out of the healer’s house, standing in front of Damon even as I faced him with all the anger I could muster. I hated being caged and trapped and that was what he was doing even till now. Rhys came to stand in front of me, holding my hands as a show of support. Damon stared at us and I could tell that he was livid about this whole thing but I didn't care.“You can not come here and i

    SIENNAIt's been a week since the attack and to say we were just recovering would be an understatement, we were rebuilding but also preparing for the war that was coming. Thankfully, Kai was much better than before. It was a close shave with death but he was alive and well now, up on his feet like he hadn’t touched death only a week ago.“I can feel them moving… they are getting ready to be born.” I smiled.Rhys placed his hands on my belly, feeling the kick of the pups. It just felt like there were a lot of things he wanted to say but ever since the attack, he had reclined in himself more and more like speaking was an effort for him, too much of an effort for him to even utter any words.“They’re going to be born alive and well Goldie so you don’t have to worry about their safety. We will care for them.” he said.As a precaution, the healers had insisted that Rhys and Kai remain at the healer’s house so they could be adequately looked after. It was a good idea and while there, their
