Sierra pov.As I sit here, the weight of my torment seems to grow longer and longer, stretching out before me like an endless horizon. Alex's cruel and demeaning treatment has made my life a never-ending nightmare, one that I can no longer bear. The mere thought of her forcing me to eat food from the floor sends shivers down my spine, making my stomach turn.As I stare off into space, I can't help but see myself as a helpless dog instead of the fierce wolf I know I am. It's a strange sensation, feeling so powerless and out of control. I've managed to keep my anger in check, to hold back the urge to shift and tear her apart, but it's getting harder and harder each day.In my room, I'm alone with my thoughts, lost in a sea of despair. I wonder what the future holds for me, if I'll ever find a way out of this never-ending nightmare. Sometimes, I feel like giving up, like surrendering myself to whatever fate has in store for me.The words of William, echo in my mind like a symphony of hop

Sierra pov.As William asked me to leave, I couldn't help but feel a whirlwind of emotions stirring inside of me. I stood up slowly, my eyes unable to meet his as I turned around and began walking back to where I had just come from. Tears streamed down my face as I tried to comprehend why William had never believed me.My chest ached as I clutched it tightly with my hands, trying to ease the pain that threatened to overcome me. I had hoped he would call out to me, tell me to stop, but he remained silent, watching as I walked away.Leaving the castle, I looked around at the maids who had once been my allies. Now, they stared at me with judgmental eyes, their disdain palpable. I felt like an outcast, unworthy of their respect.The cold air outside only served to amplify the chill that had settled in my bones, and I huddled my arms around my body, searching for warmth that I knew wouldn't come. I wondered if I should go home, but the thought of facing the rumors and gossip that would sur

Sierra pov."Henry," I exclaimed, feeling as if I was about to pee on myself with excitement. He smiled warmly at me, and without a second thought, I rushed towards him, throwing my arms around him in a tight embrace. Overcome with emotion, I felt tears pricking at the corners of my eyes, and my heart swelled with joy.As we pulled away from the hug, I gazed at Henry in disbelief, unable to contain my happiness at seeing him again. I had assumed he had left for another pack, but now I knew that I had a friend I could confide in and talk to."How?" I asked breathlessly, and Henry simply smiled, placing his hands gently on my shoulders."Sierra, you don't think I would leave without seeing my friend or saying goodbye, do you?" he said with a chuckle.My heart leaped with gratitude as I realized that Henry was still the same funny and caring friend I remembered. As we walked together, I noticed that people were staring at us, but Henry lifted my chin gently and encouraged me to hold my h

Sierra pov.I stood there, watching as William approached us. The sight of him made my blood boil. Just as I was about to say something, he pushed me away and struck Henry across the face."I should have known you would come back," he yelled, continuing to hit Henry.My anger boiled over, and I walked up to William. I pulled him away from Henry and landed a heavy slap across his face. He looked at me in shock, but I wasn't scared. I was tired of everything he had done to me, and I just couldn't take it anymore."Why do you keep following me?" I yelled into his face as I pushed him back. "Haven't you had enough? What more do you want from me? You have a wife now, why can't you just go to her and leave me alone?" The sound of his fists hitting Henry's face echoed off the walls, and I could feel the vibrations in my chest. It was as if every hit was a hammer blow to my soul.I was so angry about him following me and monitoring my every move that I couldn't take it anymore. I was furious

Sierra pov.After we arrived at the castle, he gently lowered me to the ground, and my gaze immediately fell to the floor."Thank you," I murmured to him, my voice barely audible. Just as I was about to venture inside, he halted my progress, his firm grip enclosing my hands, drawing me closer."I don't want you in the basement anymore. I have prepared a room for you.
