Sienna

I felt it the instant dawn broke.

Not just the sun’s warmth kissing my skin, but the electric pulse of awareness that surged through the Blackwood estate like a striking alarm.

They knew.

The pack.

Every wolf.

The moment an Alpha marks his mate, the land trembles with the weight of it. The air shifts. And as the bond seals, the wolves feel it ripple through them. Hierarchy trembles and begins to change.

I wasn’t merely the girl he had once hurt.

I was Luna now.

That alone made me a force to be reckoned with.

With Caleb’s hand firmly in mine, we silently traversed the polished halls, both dressed in our best, our wolves simmering just beneath the surface. Servants bowed their heads, and guards stood even taller as we passed. The once-quiet whispers morphed into something weightier.

They weren’t merely hushed gossip anymore.

Now, they were watchful.

I saw the mix of fear, curiosity, and confusion glimmer in their eyes. The she-wolves who used to smirk now looked down. The warrior

  • ONE NIGHT CLAIM   Chapter 20 – Ash and Skin

    Sienna’s POVCaleb was in a deep slumber for three agonizing days.And I stayed right by his side, refusing to budge.That is, until Ronan intervened.“You need rest,” he said, his voice a rough growl, his body tense, like a coiled spring ready to snap. “You’re not helping him like this.”“I’m not leaving him alone.”“You won't have to. He’ll have guards. I’ll sit right here if I have to.” He crouched next to me, his fingers brushing my face. “But, Sienna… you need air.”Damn it, he was right.Reluctantly, I let him guide me out of the room.But not to the guest wing.Instead, he took me to his chambers.The door slammed shut with a massive thud.Silence enveloped us, thick and electric, the walls closing in as tension crackled like a storm brewing on the horizon.I could sense it in him — the tension of self control. His jaw clenched, fists balled tight. His wolf thrashed beneath the surface, screaming for release.Not just from fear.From something far darker.Need.Possession.Guil

  • ONE NIGHT CLAIM   Chapter 19 — The Price of Closing

    Sienna’s“He’s burning up!” I gasped, shock racing through my veins as my fingers brushed against Caleb’s forehead, hot enough to ignite. “Why is he like this? Ronan—he won’t wake!”Ronan dropped to his knees beside me, urgency etched in his features. “Hand him over.”“No—no! I can’t let go. I need to keep him safe.” I held Caleb tighter, the panic knotting in my throat threatening to choke me. His little hands were rigid, his face flushed, lips parted like he was still whispering a secret.“He shut the Gate,” I breathed out, memory surging through me. “Did you see it? He closed it.”“I saw,” Ronan replied, his voice a deep growl that carried an edge of fear. “But now something’s got him by the throat.”“He’s just a kid!” I shot back, anger flaring. “He shouldn’t…”“He’s not just anything, Sienna.” Ronan stood, determination radiating off him. “We need to get him back to the estate. Now.”The pack was waiting.Wolves lined the steps like guardians, silent yet watchful. A few dipped th

  • ONE NIGHT CLAIM   Chapter 18 — The Door of Teeth

    SiennaIn the depths of the Blackwood archives, secrets lay waiting—books that defied time itself.They were ancient, older than the pack, older than the very land beneath our feet. Written in forgotten tongues and bound in leather that bore the scent of ash and flame. Some pages seemed to breathe, others murmured in the dark.We stumbled upon one such tome, hidden in a sealed drawer beneath the grand table in Ronan’s private library.It wasn’t listed in any index.No title. No author.Just a cover etched with a symbol that made my wolf cower.A circle of jagged teeth.---Ronan ignited a candle, the glow flickering warmly in the shadowed room. No electricity, no technology.“Words this old don’t tolerate wires,” he muttered, placing the flame gently between us.I didn’t bother to question his knowledge.I simply opened the book.The first line snagged my breath:“Where the Lock bleeds and the Keyhole binds, the Door will open. And beyond it waits the Nameless Moon.”My throat tighten

  • ONE NIGHT CLAIM   Chapter 17 — The Dreaming Gate

    SiennaFor a moment, I was convinced I had died.Then it hit me—I was trapped in a dream.But this dream wasn’t mine.I found myself barefoot in a surreal forest of towering white trees. An eerie stillness hung in the air; there was no wind, no sound, and no scent—just the haunting glow of a blood-red moon looming overhead, casting its sinister hue across the ground.And I wasn’t alone.A figure emerged from the shadows of the clearing.Not Mason.Not Ronan.Her.She wore my face—but aged. Her eyes were golden, glowing with an inner fire, and her hair was streaked with silver. A primal energy radiated from her, bending the very fabric of space around her.When she spoke, her voice was unmistakably mine—but deeper, raw, laced with a feral edge that felt anything but human.“You’ve finally come home.”I staggered back, heart racing.“This is a dream,” I whispered, disbelief clawing at me. “You’re not real.”A faint smile crossed her lips. “Dreams are more real than you know. This is you

  • ONE NIGHT CLAIM   Chapter 16 — The Bait and the Blade

    SiennaThree days later, the plan was set in motion, electric with anticipation.I was about to step onto neutral ground — alone, exposed, and seemingly unguarded.Or at least, that’s what Mason would believe.In reality, twenty warriors lay hidden in the hills, lurking like restless shadows. Ronan, Liam, and two of the Blackwood trackers shadowed me from afar, ready to spring into action at the first sign of trouble. The moment Mason revealed himself or his rogue minions struck, they would unleash hell.But I knew Mason well.He wouldn’t send his rogues.He’d come for me himself.Because he craved something far beyond vengeance.Something deeper.Something ancient.I stood before my mirror, fastening the collar of a jet-black cloak around my neck, the fabric whispering secrets against my skin. My hair was braided back, neat and unadorned. No jewelry, no makeup, no scent. My wolf inside me was alert, eyes shining bright in the glass.Ronan approached, moving slowly behind me.“Are you

  • ONE NIGHT CLAIM   Chapter 15 — The Lock and the Key

    SiennaThe war council didn’t want me there, but I fucking crashed the meeting anyway.Ronan’s office was a pressure cooker, packed with Beta wolves, strategists, border captains, and wary Elders whose thin mouths twitched with unspoken suspicion. The scroll from Mason lay open on the desk like an ominous wound, its implications heavy in the air.Most of them avoided eye contact like the truth itself was a beast they couldn’t face.“This isn’t a challenge,” one captain muttered, the weight of his words chilling the room. “It’s a prophecy.”“It’s a threat!” I shot back, breaking through the hushed whispers with a voice that commanded attention.Several heads whipped around, expressions shifting from disbelief to wariness.I pressed on, fueled by urgency. “He doesn’t want land or power; he wants blood. And if we don't stop him, he’ll come for us, tearing down our walls.”A sneer curled the lips of an older wolf in the corner. “She speaks as if she knows him.”I leveled my gaze at him, u
