*Sienna*

I close the door and lock it, my heart still pounding like I am about to have a heart attack. I lean against the door and sit on the floor, touching my lips as they still tremble. How did I have the courage to walk away? I can't believe what happened, and I still don't understand it properly, but did he just say I am his? Our kiss, our kisses. I still feel every part of my body burning.

This is not normal, I know that much. But a mate? I could see the way he reacted and, jokes aside, he was also surprised. Does that mean I am his mate? But he already had a Luna, and he still has three wives! This is insane, I shouldn't have let him kiss me. I am not going to become another trophy in his collection.

I close my eyes and feel his fingers under my chin, his eyes burning me. I get up fast and head to the shower. I need to cool down.

After a long time, I feel alive again, but I need to be careful. I let myself fall for someone before and that led to only pain and suffering. I know he was a human, and Ro is so much more than that, but the emotional scars carve deep.

I lay down to sleep and try to keep my mind away from Ro. It doesn't work well, because all night I had dreams of him kissing me and taking me away.

In the morning I struggle to get up from the bed. I need another shower before heading to school because I woke up all sweaty. I sigh with frustration. Ro, you had to come and change my quiet life, didn't you?!

After I finally finish getting ready, I walk out of the apartment and find a flower bouquet at the entrance. I pick it up smiling, thinking it is another sign of Ro's romantic side, but then I read the small card in it and I drop the bouquet on the floor. My ex sent them to me, which means he knows where I live.

The last time we spoke to each other was when I moved from my old house to this apartment; he was obsessed with getting back together, and I told him I didn't want to see him again. He was manipulative and temperamental, jealous of his own shadow, and he was a compulsive liar. I have too many insecurities, and dealing with his own ones was too much.

The card reads "You will always be in my heart."

If he knows where I live, how long has he known? Has he been watching me all this time? I look at my phone and see that I am running late. I pick up the flowers and throw them to the garbage bin that is outside the building. I want to make it quickly to the school before it gets too late.

I am lucky to get there with some minutes to spare, and after marking my entry I walk to my classroom and see most of the students already there waiting. They were curiously looking at me; I perked a brow at them and sat on my desk. "What is going on?" I ask.

Ralph raises his hand and I nod at him. "So, Miss Sienna, how was your birthday?"

I hear some chuckles and I keep my straight face. "It was unusual. It has been a while since I got the chance to really celebrate it. Why?"

This time it is Chantal raising her hand and I nod at her. "Did you do anything? Did you go out?"

I heal giggles now together with the chuckles and I hold my laugh. Of course, they saw the spectacle of Ro when he picked me up. I stand up and look at them all. I take the opportunity to generate suspense as I walk slowly to them, and the classroom falls silent.

"I know some of you, if not all, saw me yesterday. The person who came is no more than a friend from my teenage years," I look at them as I tell them my half-truth. "We haven't seen each other in over ten years because he left the country when his father died."

That alone was enough for them to take the joke away and pay attention. "I was really surprised to see him yesterday, and I admit I almost cried. I thought I would never see him again. But he took me to lunch and we spent some good time talking. We might even get to see other old friends from back then when we used to hang out together."

I smile at them and turn around, getting back to my desk where I pick up my book. "So, if no one has any more questions, I would like to get the class started."

I love my students, and the way they care about me and how they look after me. I was happy to see they paid attention to what happened, and now they had the courage to ask me questions. They have always respected my privacy, so after I told me some truth about me and Ro, I know they won't ask me more.

I am happy that the class is over at the perfect timing. I was a bit of a control freak when it came to working.

Like yesterday, I bump into Diane. She locks her arm around mine and grins. We were never best friends, but we always had a good relationship. Now, she is acting like a gossip girl. "So who was the handsome man?"

I chuckle inwardly, I was already expecting this from her. "Roharu is an old friend; we had a group that used to hang out, but we haven't seen each other in ages."

She nods. "So, just friends, huh?"

I smile at her. "I haven't seen him in over ten years Di, can you at least let me enjoy the man who was my best friend? We have a lot to catch up on yet!"

She smiles and walks with me until we reach our clock where we mark our time out and then we both head towards the exit. My heart is pounding fast again, but unlike yesterday, I already know why.

Once we are outside, I look at the sides and see no big black cars, so he listened to my request. I walk down the steps next to Diane and that is when I spot a grey Bentley park at the footsteps. I smile and see it is only him driving it.

"No limo today?" Diane teases.

I chuckle and turn to her. "No, I told him we are more humble here."

She chuckles. "Yes, as humble as Bentleys can be!" And we both laugh together.

"Baby steps, Di, it is called baby steps," I grin and kiss her cheek. "I will see you tomorrow, ok?"

She smiles and nods. "I do hope so!"

I walk the final few steps until I get to the door and open it. I smile wide as I find his glowing eyes burning me. I feel feverish just by looking at him. "Hey there," I say and he smiles.

"Hi there," He replies as I sit in the car and he starts moving immediately; I barely have time to buckle the seatbelt.

"Whoa, calm down! What is the rush?" I ask as he speeds away from the school and then takes several turns, making me dizzy. He finally slows down and stops the car in what looks like an alley, then he unbuckles his seatbelt and turns to kiss me. I gasp and moan against his lips, his craving just as strong as mine. My skin fills with goosebumps and my body feels electrified.

After some seconds away, he releases his lips from mine so I can catch my breath and he stays just inches away. "I really wanted to do that."

I close my eyes as I smile. "I… I wanted you to do that too," I manage to say and feel proud of myself for letting those words out.

When I open my eyes, I see him with a soft smile, my sweet old Ro. "Let's go, or else I will take you right here and now."

I blush and laugh at the same time, pushing him teasingly as he adjusts back into his place and puts his seatbelt back on. Oh, what am I getting myself into!

    *Sienna*"Oh Sienna, I already miss you, when are we going to see each other again?" Diane speaks through the phone and I chuckle, already knowing who she really misses."I will let you know when I am done with all these tests they ask me to run. I don't know why they ask so many," I lie."I am sorry, really sorry. I know you have your own health issues and here I am trying to go out to a party with you… I will stop now.""Don't worry, it helps as a distraction," we both laugh and continue talking for some more until she finally finishes telling me how my students made a billboard where they signed their names and put mine in my honor.After we hang up, I shake my head at how foreign that life seems to me now; I used to be a teacher, and I had a peaceful life. Now my life is filled with chaos and uncertainty, powers and abilities, and everything next to my teenage crush. I would never give that up.I walk out of Ro's study and I am face to face with Mei who smiles and takes my hand. "

    *Sienna*I yawn and smile as I feel myself waking up in the arms of Ro, remembering our late-night love scene. My body still tingles and my skin fills with goosebumps instantly as he kisses my shoulder."Hmmm… when did you end up spooning me?" I ask as I feel his arms wrapped around me from behind."I think after you passed out, which was maybe after your third orgasm," he says and I blush deeply.His teeth grasp the skin of my shoulder and my body feels on fire again. "Ro…" I whisper and I feel him grin."I want more nights like this, in fact, every night should be like this, and every morning, always and forever." I laugh and he pulls the sheets to cover me as he looks towards the door. "You may come in, Emile."My hands grip tight around the sheet and I pull it up to my chin, while Ro sits on the bed and Em walks in.His eyes widen as he sees us, as he sees me, and I can see him forcing himself to look at Ro and avoid me. "My Alpha wants to have a word with you both, when you have

    *Roharu*"I want a constant rotation of soldiers to be on guard, and keep them even-numbered. No less than three of them together at all times," I give my order, and Xavier nods and leaves."I left for only a few hours and this happened? I am not sure I should leave anymore Roharu, not even to get books and materials for myself," Conwenna says as she enters my office."Indeed, you left and hell broke loose. How is it possible you didn't know that there were hunters still being trained and used? Wasn't that forbidden?""Are you sure they are hunters? I can't believe it, I am still surprised by what I heard… they should not exist Roharu." She looks bothered and confused. "And I know you don't trust anyone, even me, but I am just incredibly surprised by how far Gregory has gone…"I nod and hit the desk with a fist. "I know, hunters are a special breed, from birth trained and groomed… this means Gregory has been preparing for something for a long time now.""Did you call the other Alphas?

    *Sienna*I scream and feel everything that has been poisoning me come out from my body, and just as I do this, I extend an arm and stop Crimson Mist from moving more towards them."You don't owe your life to me, so just stay back," I manage to say, my heart pounding fast and tears rolling down my face."How is this possible?!" the hunter growls and they all seem to focus on me.As I turn my head to look at them, I finally count them and see they are 13. Ro is ready to tear them apart, and now that I am free, so am I. "Last warning… leave our home, leave our lands… and tell Gregory to man up and come fight his own fights… if he dares…"There is definitely boldness in my words, but I don't care anymore, I am too anxious and full of energy that my body screams to release."We are hunters, we don't back down," the hunter growls again."Then you will die…" Cassie says and she shifts quickly."Em, keep him safe…" I say as I look both at him and Crimson Mist, who is still baffled and confuse

    *Sienna*I am nervous and can't avoid the anxiety forming inside of me; whoever that Alpha is now, I need to remember that he knew my mother and worked with her, he knew her personally and probably knew my father.My hands are sweating as I pace back and forth, trying to calm myself down while we wait. I stare towards the entrance and feel my heart beating faster as I feel Em approaching, and with him, there is that strong presence that was with him before."I will be right there next to you, so nothing bad will happen. But the moment he begins to disrespect you or our people, I will have his head served."I shake my head and chuckle. "Ro, you are too cute." I lean up and kiss his lips softly before I let him go and head towards the entrance door.When I open the doors and step outside, my nose itches, and I rub it quickly. There is a weird scent around us, or perhaps I am imagining things. I should be, since no one else notices.I see Cael and Kall are already there in their wolf for

    *Roharu*The humans are funny and entertaining to watch; they get along well, and they seem to find happiness in the simplest things. I admire them in a way, their life is so easy and carefree. Watching Sienna relax and talk to her friends and students is also something I am finding pleasing; she feels safe, she is happy."Tonight will be a very tense situation, do you think I should have made more tea?" Conwenna stands next to me and just calmly throws me a topic I was avoiding really hard."Yes, you should have. So much for being a Shaman, don't you think?" I throw back at her causing her to frown and bite her tongue. I take a deep breath, reminding myself she chose to be on our side. "I don't think anything going on right now will be easy to predict or anticipate. Not much of anything makes sense."She nods quietly and watches Sienna just like I am. "Your father would be proud of you, Roharu," she says and this time takes me by surprise. "You are a force to be reckoned with, and yo
