She smiled as she watched her husband walking out of the house, holding their daughter in his arms.It has been months since Sienna has given birth, and she couldn’t be happier with her relationship with the Alpha of Alphas. He was the Lycan that everyone feared, and yet, he was her savior, her love, her passion, and her desire. He smiled when he took sight of her before approaching her slowly. “Are you okay?” He asked, watching as his daughter went to her mother, wanting to be held by her. Contasina giggled as Sienna wrapped her arms around her, holding her to her chest before she kissed her.“I am fine. I just needed some air.” Sienna said, looking up at the sky. Today marked her mother’s birthday, and though Arturo didn’t know about it, he could tell that something was wrong with his mate. She would rarely ever open up about her mom. In her mind, she feared that speaking about her wouldn’t do her justice, and she was thankful for the fact that no one ever pressured her to do som
Sienna:I walked through the garden toward the Lycan that was to be my husband.My father, who had his arm looped with my own, looked at me, reminding me of the importance of this. My heart aching with each step that I took as I remembered what he had done to my mother twenty years ago when I was barely five. And looking at his ‘mate’, or as I called her, the scandal that he chose to be with, I had to fight back trying to run away, knowing the consequences that would happen if I tried.I nodded, not saying a word, knowing that the wolves’ fate lay in the hands of this marriage, and approaching him, I had to fight back the low growl that threatened to escape my chest as my wolf sensed his danger. It was one stronger and scarier than the one that I have lived through growing up in the place that I should have called home.The King of Lycans, and the Capo dei Capi, Alpha Arturo de’ Medici, the man who was to be my husband.He extended his hand to me, and taking his, I took a step forward
Arturo:I wrapped my arm around Sienna’s waist, pulling her to my chest as the two of us danced. Knowing that we were the center of attention, the two of us tried to focus on what we ‘learned’ in the dance classes they had us taking a week before the wedding. The two of us swayed to the music, while her arm was wrapped around my neck, and her other held my hand as if her life depended on it. Regardless of her grip, I couldn't miss her racing heart and shaking hand as she held mine as if frightened.“Put a smile on at least, people are watching us.” I said, catching her attention as she looked down at my chest. I knew that she was careful not to step on my foot, but looking up at me, she raised an eyebrow.“I do believe that they are all aware that the two of us are nowhere near being lovers, why have to fake it?” She asked as I twirled her before pulling her closer to my chest. I wrapped my arms around her, her back was to my chest, and resting my chin on her shoulder, I kissed her c
Sienna:I was about to respond when the dressing room’s door was knocked, breaking our conversation.Arturo frowned and cursed under his breath before taking a step back, letting me go in the process.He wrapped his hand around my fist, pulling me away from the door before opening it, revealing his mother who frowned in confusion when she saw the two of us inside. She crossed her arms over her chest, a small smile creeping to her lips as she probably thought that the two of us were getting intimate in the dressing room.“The plane leaves in an hour and a half and we need to hit the road to get to the airport. I think whatever it is that you were doing can wait until you are back home, how about it?” She asked, smiling at the two of us. Arturo cursed under his breath and walked out of the room, slamming the door shut, making me jump in surprise. My heart raced against my ribcage, and I couldn’t help but notice that my hands shook as I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I walked
Arturo: I watched as Sienna sat on her chair beside the window. Her heart raced as she sat, clearly anxious. The family was either asleep, or busying themselves with whatever they had to tend to. My parents were on a different plane for security reasons, each one of us took their own planes. Sienna and I haven’t said a word to one another since what happened at the wedding, and it didn’t take me long to realize that she was avoiding any interaction with me to begin with. And though even mom noticed on the runway that we weren’t walking, especially when she believed that we were growing ‘intimate’, she sensed that something might have happened. But thankfully, choosing to put whatever assumptions she had in mind, she didn’t say a word. I got up from my seat. The plane was already halfway back to New York, and it wouldn’t be long until we were home, at the Estate, expected to fulfill our duties as Alpha and Luna toward one another. The ceremony, that she as a wolf expected, was not
Sienna:My heart raced as we arrived at the Estate, or in other words, the pack’s grounds. The fear and nervousness of what was to come started eating me, and though I could tell that Alpha Arturo was trying to calm me down, somehow at least, I couldn’t help but feel myself grow more anxious with each passing minute.The car came to a stop in front of the front door, and opening his door, the driver rushed to my side, opening the door for me as a bodyguard opened the door for the Alpha. Arturo walked toward me and nodded in assurance. The fact that I would be the only wolf among a pack of Lycans scared the life out of me. These people could easily kill me alive, and just thinking about that made my heart drop to my stomach as I took a step forward. “No one is going to hurt you, Sienna.” Alpha Arturo assured, his voice softer than it had been, even on the plane when he offered me a drink. I had to admit, at first, I hesitated, thinking that he might end up killing me, but not smelli
Arturo: I kissed Sienna back, allowing her to take control of the kiss despite how hesitant she was. Her heart raced, and I could tell that she was more nervous than she was letting out. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her closer to me as I deepened the kiss before lowering my hands down toward her waist, pulling her closer as I leaned in, deepening the kiss. I pushed her toward the bed, laying her on top of it, watching as she hesitated before I nodded at her, wanting her to lay on the pillow. I took my shirt off before walking toward her, a predator walking to his prey, letting her know who was dominant. I got on top of her, hovering her body as I rested my arms either side of her head, and leaning in, I connected my lips with hers in a gentle kiss. Sienna’s arms wrapped around my neck, pulling me down as she deepened the kiss, and lowering my hands down on her body, gently brushing my fingers over her skin as I touched her thigh. Her cheeks reddened as I pulled away to
Sienna:I whimpered when I woke up, feeling sore.I tried sitting up, but I would be lying if I said that I could feel my legs, because I couldn’t.“Easy.” I heard Arturo’s voice as he walked out of the bathroom.His hair was wet, and a white towel hung over his waist as he approached me. He wrapped his arm around me, helping me sit up, and I couldn’t help but hiss in pain.“Are you okay?” Arturo asked and I nodded.“Just a little sore, I guess. It should die down in a bit, and a warm shower can help." I said, avoiding his eyes. Noticing that I was looking at the mark on his neck, I didn’t even know how I had it in me to bite him to mark him as mine, but it seems like I did it right. My wolf purred when he cupped my cheek, making me look up at him, and he smiled, running his finger over my jawline. “How about I help you to the bathroom, you can freshen up?” Then the two of us can go out for breakfast?” He suggested, his gentle tone taking me by surprise. I had to fight back frowning
