*Sienna*Mei is carefully changing my bandages; removing the old ones and soaking the new ones in the medication Lady Horatia gave her. It is a slow process, but she handles it so perfectly."Where did you learn to do this?" I ask her in a whisper; my voice hurts less when I talk like this.She grins and covers the last part of my neck. "I am Chinese, and it is part of our ancestor's culture for the women to learn all we can about medicine and healing. Our werewolf history is legendary, and the wives had to always look after the injuries of the husbands."I smile at her and let her finish before she turns and puts everything in place. Having these bandages is uncomfortable, but I feel better with them each day; my skin feels fresh and the burning sensation is gone.Once she is ready, we both walk to the backyard and find Xavier standing, his back leaning against the wall. His eyes follow Ro and the twins running a perimeter check in their wolf forms.I smile wide, it has been ages sin

*Sienna*I wake up feeling quite happy; a nice relaxing night of sleep and pleasant dreams. I look at the window and wonder what everyone is doing. I still don't want to get up, but I force myself to do so as I hear some noises outside. I walk to the window and catch the twins sparring.Kall is in his wolf form and he is fighting with Xavier, who is in his human form. I can see it is only for training, but I don't see Cael anywhere.I take a shower and soon enough, I hear a knock on my door and Mei peeks in. "Good morning Princess!" She grins and dances her way in.I smile at her. "Good morning Mei, why the new nickname?"She shrugs. "I thought it suited you, but I can go back to calling you Luna if you want!"I laugh and shake my head slightly. "Ehm, how about just Sienna? Princess sounds so pretentious," I say to her as I feel embarrassed.She stops for a moment and gives me a soft smile. "Sienna, you need to learn your place. You are not a normal human, and you are not just another

*Sienna*Yesterday was a day full of emotions; for a moment, I thought I would break with Ro because of his reaction to what I said about Xavier and Mei, but watching him so vulnerable was almost heartbreaking. I felt happy when he confessed his conflicting thoughts because it means he really trusts me and is open with me.This also makes me feel better because, no matter how hard, I need to know I can tell him everything. He said he will act like nothing happened in front of them, and he will pay more attention as well. This only came about after I reminded him that I was only suspicious about it, but I was not sure.Everything after that was another type of wave of emotions. He took me to his room and carefully laid me on his bed, where he laid next to me and we cuddled. He asked me if he could see my neck, and I remembered what Mei had said in regards to mates and the intimacy that created that contact.I allowed him to remove my bandages, and he did so very carefully. I felt my he

*Sienna*I feel so torn and conflicted; the way Ro is pushing them both to declare their feelings and their bond, and putting them in such a position, just makes me want to cry. I am in tears as I try to run to Mei to hold her, but Ro's grip tightens around me.Why is he being so cruel? How could he put Xavier on the spot? I can also feel his anger beneath his skin; I fear the worst as I can sense his conflicting emotions and I sink my fingers into his arm, trying to bring his attention to me.But his eyes are locked on Xavier, and he looks at Mei as well. I feel more tears fall down and I think of ways to comfort Mei when this is all over.Of course, Xavier would never betray Ro; his loyalty to him is so strong, he abandoned all hope for his own happiness. And Mei never pursued anything with Xavier; she is tied to Ro, and she is loyal to him. This whole situation is so messed up, I start regretting ever telling Ro about it.When he finally confesses his feelings, I shiver. Ro's arms

*Sienna*The last two days have been very intense; Solange and Deidre have locked themselves in the guest house and only receive their food from the servants. Both of them would, of course, obey if they are called by Ro, but he hasn't bothered to call them."Do you even like them?" I had to ask, after the first day.He chuckled. "Oh, they were only means to an end; I told you our marriage was only political," he said, trying to placate my curiosity.I sighed. "But they are still people, with real feelings and emotions."He sighed. "You are only saying this because you don't know them that well. Talk to Mei Li about them and you will see what she thinks about them," he said, trying to dismiss my worries.I frowned. "I am well aware she hates them, and I am not defending them, but you are the Alpha, and you should treat them better, so much so, that they will be ashamed for being so mean."That conversation led nowhere. He refused to change the way he behaved towards them and kept insis
