Sienna showered and changed into a fresh pair of jeans and a loose top. For once she was glad that Ruby had insisted on carrying clothes.
Her heart had calmed down and she had finally managed to push the image of men turning into wolves to the recess of her mind.
She knew a good night’s sleep would make her feel much better but she felt too jittery.
Her lips stretched into a wide smile as she walked into the bedroom. Ruby was standing with a glass of hot chocolate. She always knew what to do. She was like her guardian angel for her.
She started feeling drowsy after drinking the beverage. It was very rare for her to feel sleepy. So, she decided to take advantage of this situation and slept early
Once Sienna was asleep, Ruby adjusted her clothes and put on some makeup. How she wished she had worn something better than a crop top and a pair of jeans.
She pulled the top down her shoulders to expose her milky skin. She admired h
Alaric returned to the guest house when he had finally calmed down. The large grandfather clock struck five as he entered the reception.Luckily the receptionist had dozed off and there was no one in the corridor. Once inside his room, he took his human form and hopped into the bathroom for a quick shower.The cold water flowed over his body soothing his muscles but it did nothing to calm his raging mind. Daniel! Daniel! Daniel! He had to get that name out of his mind.He called up for home service but no one picked up. Probably, they were still sleeping. Letting out a deep sigh he walked to the pantry to get some water.His breath hitched when he saw Sienna standing in the corridor, leaning against the wall. The jealousy he had suppressed with so much difficulty, rose to the surface. Before he could restrain himself, he had Sienna trapped between his arms.Sienna’s heart skipped a beat as she met Alaric’s deep eyes. A myriad of emotion
A month later…Sienna had joined the Vanuesa Enterprises as the purchase executive. Though the pay was not as good as AE Enterprises, it was enough to meet her expenses.Alaric’s strange behavior haunted Sienna even today. She had tried so hard to meet Alaric but she could never find him. It was as if he had disappeared from the surface of the earth.“Sienna! Don’t tell me you are trying to call all the people named Alaric using this directory.” Ruby said, flopping on the bed beside her.“I am… He can’t just vanish without any explanations.” Sienna said calling the hundredth number on the list.Ruby pulled out the directory from her hand and placed it on the table. “Can’t you let it go… for the peace of your mind… for Daniel’s sake…”Exhaling deeply, Sienna replied, “I am trying Ruby but his words keep reeling in my mind…”
“What the hell are you doing here, Ranger? Hadn't I made it abundantly clear the previous time that I DO NOT wish to deal with you.” Amanda said shooting daggers at him.She raised her hand to send a wave of energy in Ranger’s direction. The wave hit an invisible shield and rebounded making Amanda stagger.“Did you think I will come unprepared, hun?” Ranger said raising his golden locket.Amanda’s eyes widened in shock. She was about to slam the door shut but Ranger’s statement made her halt. “Are you sure you want to leave your daughter alone with me?Her eyes snapped in the direction Ranger was pointing. Her eyes widened in horror as she saw Nicole sleeping on the shoulders of an armed man.“I have been wandering through Rokanel for over a month searching for my wife but couldn’t find her. What do you have to say about that?” He asked in a dangerously cold tone.“When
When Sienna managed to open her eyes, she found herself bound to her chair. She waited for the panic and phobia to hit her but her mind remained clear.She realized that her long sessions at the Gym and company of Elliot had somehow made her strong physically and mentally. She would have to thank him once she was free.She noticed the difference in her thought process. She was confident that she would escape. She swept her eyes across the room as discreetly as possible.Two men were guarding the entrance while two others were seated at the table. If she managed to untie her ropes she could knock two of them down and try to fight the other two.Closing her eyes she focused on untying the knot one step at a time. A piercing scream made her eyes snap open.Her jaws hung open as she saw Elliot throw punches ruthlessly at the three men that surrounded him. The fourth one was lying on the floor writhing in pain.She watched in wonder as Elliot rai
Dr. Ronkensien was waiting for them at the entrance. Elliot helped Alaric get onto the stretcher and the two ward boys wheeled him away.*Close your eyes and lay still. It should look convincing.* Elliot mind-linked.“Doctor… Alaric… I mean sir was shot. He will be okay right…” Sienna asked in a panicked voice.The doctor’s face furrowed in confusion. Alaric didn’t look like he was shot. He looked pretty normal.“I will just go and check him, hun. Rest assured he is in the best hands.” The doctor said, patting her hand, and rushed inside.The doctor was stunned to see Alaric sitting comfortably and flexing his arms. His shirt was bloodied but he looked fit. The doctor raised his eyebrows waiting for an explanation.Alaric cleared his throat and said, “I have been shot by a bullet and I am wounded.” He took off his shirt revealing a faint scar. “Bandage this region hea
Sienna’s face lit up with a genuine smile on seeing Elliot at her door. “What brings you here, grandfather?” She asked with a teasing smile.“Hey don’t call me that,” Elliot complained walking inside.“Why? I am giving you the respect you deserve. I have never seen anyone fight like you… really…”“Are you praising me or trying to punish me because I didn’t tell you that Alaric is my brother…”“Hmmm… I guess both…” Sienna said, shrugging her shoulders.“Please… don’t call me grandfather… It makes me feel like I am a century-old, wrinkled man. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want my relationship with Alaric to strain our friendship. Would you be as frank as you are now if you knew I am Alaric’s brother?”“Probably not… but still… friends don’t lie…
“Alaric, listen to me. You have to stay at the cottage with Sienna. If you come to the court, I am not sure you can control yourself.” Elliot argued with his brother for the hundredth time but he was unrelenting.“I know I can control myself, Elli. I have left him alive all these days…” Alaric said adjusting his tie.Elliot almost tore out all his hair in frustration. Then, he realized that he was playing the wrong cards all along. He bit his cheeks to maintain a straight expression and said in a serious voice, “I am afraid that Ranger would take advantage of this situation and attack our house while we are away.”Alaric’s eyes widened in realization and he blurted out instantly, “Damn! I didn’t think like that. You are right, I should stay back to protect Sienna.”Elliot punched himself mentally. If only he had used the right excuse from the start, he would have saved himself so much trou
“Where do you think you are going, Sienna?” Ruby asked, crossing her arms.“I… I… Ummm… have some work…” Sienna stuttered, lowering her eyes.Grasping Sienna’s shoulder, Ruby said, “Alaric and Elliot are trying so hard to keep you and Daniel safe. Don’t you think you should respect that and stay at home?”Letting out a long, deep sigh Sienna said, “How long will they keep me protected, Ruby? Someday, they will have to move on in life.Ranger would not stop until he has taken his revenge or he is dead.” Sienna paused for a long moment and then cleared her throat. “I am going to get a revolver.”“Are you crazy, Sienna? Do you even know what you are saying?”“Believe me, Ruby. I do… I can never let Ranger get to Daniel. So, the next time I see him, I will kill him.” Sienna said in a cold voice.“For God
