Sirena’s POVThe evening breeze blew through the curtains of the window and I looked at the chandelier on the top. The moonlight crept in all the corners of the room and I felt so alone this evening. I don’t want to get out of this bed, nor leave this room but I have to. As a Luna and the wife of Alpha Alder of the Shadow Pack, I need to fulfill my duties that were given to me. I married Alder three years back; this marriage and relationship is nothing but a prison for me. I feel like a prisoner, I can’t do or express anything that’s on my mind. I can’t blame Alder; he never wanted me and I entered his life as an unwelcoming guest. It will always be that way. Even though we are mates, our marriage didn’t happen out of love, it occurred because of the compulsion, at least for him. I married him believing he got some interest in me, and thought we were going to be like the rest of the wolves who got married but in reality, we aren’t. Alder is the meaning of perfection, he’s like a d
Chapter- 8Frank returned to the pack house, I was eagerly waiting to know where’s Sirena and has she spent the night safely. I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about her. I felt remorseful, upset and all sorts of guilty feeling. She needs a place and I let her be alone. Though we are divorced, I promised to protect her and I’ll do it no matter what happens between us. “What happened? Where is she?” I questioned as soon as he came inside.“I couldn’t find here anywhere,” “What?” I frowned. “Have you asked Louisiana?”“Yes, I did. She doesn’t know,”“Someone must have seen her, ask them,” “Yes, you’re right. She left in an unidentified car. I don’t know who took her,”“Are you telling me that she was kidnapped?” “I don’t know,” he calmly answered. “Frank, you don’t have to take this matter seriously,” I said. “Okay,” Frank nodded which instantly frustrated me. He isn’t acting up efficiently in this matter.“Frank, do you realize this situation? My mate is missing, no one knows
Alder’s POVI am stunned to hear everything that Sirena said, still I am confused what to believe. I looked at Grace. Her eyes didn’t reflect the honesty that Sirena’s eyes did. I never thought Grace would lie to me.“You have once again failed to see the truth,” Benau mocked me. I felt guilty and wanted to chase after Sirena to apologize for what I have said this morning.As I stepped to leave, Grace stopped me and held my hand.“Don’t go after her,” she said.Now I see what’s Grace’s actual feelings are. As a friendly gesture I met her yesterday as she’s been away for the past three years. But Grace’s intention is appalling.“Why I shouldn’t go after Sirena?” I ask. She blinked and I can see that she’s embarrassed.“Looks like what Sirena said was true,” Grace stared at me, she couldn’t say anything for quite some time.She couldn’t hide the truth anymore and I demanded the truth from her.“I am sorry for what I did,” she said.“So, you drugged me last night,” he shouted in anger, “
The next morning, I woke up snapping out of my nightmare when the cold air hit my feet. I was surprised how I fell asleep last night, I was awake most of the time and must have slept in tiredness. I saw the long windows were open and the other side of the bed was shuffled as someone had slept in there. I know I didn't touch the duvet that's hugging me right now. It must be him, he slept beside me and covered me in this duvet. What else he had done to me while I was sleeping like a sloth? I shrieked in fear and checked my dress to find them intact. Relief spread across my heart and I got down from the bed to see the drizzling sky outside. Aiden is so different compared to my village. It's cold as Mount Athes is nearby and I heard it would be often windy and rainy here. When I felt an urgent need to pee, I looked around to find the bathroom door.Knowing that it must be outside, I came out of the room, and thankfully a maid is walking by that way. I asked her to guide me to the bath
Sirena’s POVSitting on the window sill, I looked at the moon. My wolf is tempted by the gracious spread of moon’s glimmer. I am not ready to shift and wander in the woods. Alder occupies my mind; he’s not letting me to move an inch.Raven said she’d sent the message to Alder and I know he will come tomorrow.Ever since I heard that, I can’t think of anything else, I am passing my time, sitting here.I can’t able to close my eyes and I am wondering what I am going to do tomorrow.I lied to my father, it’s not my nature to talk that way to my mate and I am not allowed go with him either. It’s going to be hard tomorrow but I will get through this.I got down from the window sill and walked to the bed, the time is half past two, these days I couldn’t sleep early.I got inside the comforter and closed my eyes to sleep.Suddenly I heard a whisper near my ears, “Don’t meet him tomorrow,” it said.I squinted my eyes.“Lulu is that you?” I asked. “What?” Lulu woke up and she’s so excited fo
Chapter- 13 Alder’s POV “It’s so heart-breaking compared to when I uttered those rejection words,” Benau said. I nodded. Frank is hesitant to speak to him. Whatever he says, that might weird this situation so he remained silent. “Alder…” Frank started. “I don’t want to hear anything, Frank,” I snapped. I don’t want to hear anything from anyone. It’s just too frustrating for me to think what a fool I am. “Then I will go to the packhouse,” Frank said and walked to the other side. I walked aimlessly into the woods; my mind kept bringing the memories I shared with Sirena. There were a lot of moments, I loved her and admired her without her knowing. From now on, I can’t have her as his mate, that I understood well. I’m vexed by the thought and sat down on the rock. It hard for me to process what I heard from Sirena. I feel the pain of rejection, it’s killing me from inside. “Sirena must have felt the same way last time,” Benau said. I know I am such a monster. I never once thought
Sirena’s POV“I am going to France, with Xander,” I said to Raven. We both were in the cafeteria having lunch. “Okay, that’s great. Have fun,” Raven said and I didn’t expect such an answer from her.“Don’t you have anything to say?”“What do you want me to say?” “I am going to travel alone with him. Tell me about him?”“Xander is like a big brother to me. He’s very professional, you’re close with him when you were here,” Raven had a sly smile when she said that. “Close means?” she asks. “Close, that’s it. I don’t know,” Raven shrugged.I frowned to hear that. “You have to give me a proper answer,”“Sis… you’re too young. You both are like best friends,” she said. Yes, she’s right, I was too young and there’s no point in exploring that. “Okay,” I nodded.“Look, Xander is the most trusted person in this pack. You can go with him anywhere,” she said. After listening to that, I felt relieved. I think I can trust him; I no longer has any doubt over him.“I am just nervous around new p
Sirena’s POVI got a little free time in the afternoon so I went to the cafeteria to have a cup of coffee. After ordering, I sat down in one of the empty tables and looked around. People here see me differently and I’ll smile at them to clear the awkwardness. My life history is the hot gossip in the office. Even I caught a couple of co-workers gossiping about me. I didn’t take that offending but still it’s not appropriate. They will speak for some days and then they will eventually forget about that when something else comes up.Awkwardly waiting for my coffee, I looked around. I didn’t pay attention to what the girls next to me were talking but when I heard the name Xander, I asserted my ears to hear their conversation carefully.“These days Xander looks incredibly handsome,” one of the girls said. She had a long auburn hair and looked beautiful. “I don’t think so, he’s getting old and he’s losing his charm,” the other one said. Hearing that comment, I frowned just like the other gi
