Azriel violently jolted the cold bars of his prison and demanded to be set free. "Let me out," he screamed with exasperation, constantly hitting the bars. Vulcan was on the edge. His mate was all alone out there with no protection. She needed his protection. His demand was met with silence. It stoked his rage even more. Vulcan refused to stay back and forced out making Azriel crouch on the floor. His canine elongated and skin broke into the fur. The black beast emerged out of the darkness. His ferocious growl bounced off the walls, sending the rats scurry into their holes. Vulcan was a beast who knew no boundaries. He was more vicious, stronger, and crazier for Sienna. There was absolutely nothing that could stop him from getting to his mate, much less this prison. Vulcan gathered all his strength and struck a dank wall with his massive body. The debris slid down in heaps. Vulcan backed away a few steps and crashed back into the wall in full force. This time the wall shook. He struc

'Mumma, catch me," Reagon shouted and scrammed towards the garden as fast as his little feet could. Smiling, Sienna chased Reagon. The boy was faster and very smart for his age. He had inherited his silver eyes from his dad with the slightest hint of her blue. Reagon had taken after his dad in terms of looks. Same hair, same aquiline nose, same sparkling eyes. The boy tripped over a pebble and landed on the floor. Sienna's smile vanished and she hurried toward him worryingly."Are you hurt?" she sat down on the ground and promptly gathered him in her arms. The skin of his knee was torn due to the fall and blood was trickling out. She told one of teh servants to bring first aid. "Mumma, I am fine," Reagon cupped his mom's face and assured her with a smile. His assurance brought a pang to her heart. Her face clouded with a mixture of pain and pride as she gazed at her son. The absence of a father figure in his life had forced him to grow quickly. Her little boy had caught her cryin

The news of him being the banished prince traveled fast. Several alphas expressed their objection through letters and emails. According to them, bringing him back was a disrespect to the late King. Whereas some supported Sienna, a larger group demanded to send him back into the woods. Sienna let out a heavy sigh as Karl read her the heap of letters that demanded Azriel's exile. There was no way she was going to let him go again. This was his home and this was where he would stay.After the meeting, she returned to her room. Her eyes found him instantly when she entered through the door. It had been three days and he wasn't awake yet but his wounds were healing fast. His health had improved a lot. The healer said it was because of their closeness. The mate bond was at its strongest as they were close. Dropping her jacket on the chair, she made her way toward the bed. The day had exhausted her. She eased down on her back and turned to face him. Laying her head on his bare chest she p

"How long has it been?" he asked. "Five years," she told him. His eyes widened slightly. "I was there for four years," he concluded to himself. He sounded defeated. " How did they capture you?" she instinctively leaned towards him and asked. He looked up to meet her concerned gaze. "I was asleep when they injected me with wolfbane and took me to their prison. They kept me in silver chains and drugged me with wolfbane six times a day as I was too strong for them to handle," he told her in a resigned tone. His face held no expression but his voice was loaded with pain. Sienna was about to tear up. They had treated him worse than an animal. Those bastards. They will have a nightmarish end and she will personally see to it. She put her hand over his and offered him a gentle smile. "The way you braved it all till the last makes me admire you more," she said, squeezing his hand softly. Her confidence in him both melted and annoyed Azriel. "I am no longer the Azriel you knew

Dustin and Sean had visited to see Azriel the following day. Many things had changed in five years. Azriel wasn't the same. It pained them to realize how much he had endured in the last four years. His suffering had changed him for Azriel wasn't someone without a spirit. He was a born leader. An Alpha Out-and-Out. But right now he didn't resemble his previous self. They both had left after some time, not being able to see him like this. Little Reagon was on cloud seven since his father's return. He couldn't wait to show off his dad to his friends who had always asked him about his dad. Back then, he couldn't do anything but sulk. He had already made a long list of things that he was going to do with his dad. He had heard from Uncle Sean that his dad is a smashing Basketball player. He decided to ask his father to teach him how to play. He also wanted to be a smashing basketball player just like his dad. After finishing his lesson, the boy excitedly dashed towards his parents'
