As days went by, Serena could notice visible changes in Alaric’s behavior. He followed her orders without asking any questions. He showered her with praises. Though she knew he was flattering her for his own benefit, she couldn’t help but feel thrilled at the prospect that Alaric admired her.
She had caught him staring at her on several occasions. She was convinced that he had developed a liking for her. If he passed the test, they could start afresh and she could end Sienna’s pitiful life.
Her face lit up with satisfaction as she saw Alaric clean her dirty shoes. He was completely focused on the task.
She waved her wand and all the shoes got cleaned instantly. A gasp escaped Alaric’s mouth and he raised his head to find Sienna stand in front of them.
He jumped to his feet and bowed, “Master…”
“Come and sit with me. I have an important matter to discuss.” Serena said waving her hand towards the
Sienna was dressed in a pair of comfortable jeans and sweaters. The room didn’t seem tiny to her anymore. She had sort of figured out how the room worked.The moment she managed to eliminate the fear of closed spaces from her mind, the room appeared much larger. When she got over the fear that she will remain hungry and thirsty, she didn’t feel hungry or thirsty anymore.It was as if the room was created to magnify your fears. She still hadn’t figured out a way to escape from this oppressive prison.“Long time no see, sister…” Serena's voice pulled her out of her thoughts.Her eyebrows drew closer as her eyes checked Sienna out from top to bottom. She looked at the mirror lying in the corner. “Ignorance is bliss, isn’t it? But it doesn’t stop the world from spinning…”Following her eyes, Sienna said in a resolute voice, “I am not going to fall for your tricks anym
Aunt Sue, Elliot, Ruby, and Amanda rushed to the cottage when they got Alaric’s message. They found Alaric sitting on the floor with his head buried in his hands.Alaric raised his head when he sensed Elliot’s hand on his shoulder. “I lost everything, Elli… Everything is destroyed…”“What do you mean?”“I killed Serena.”Elliot knelt in front of him and said, “What you did is very honorable. Dad will be proud of you. You chose to save innocent babies over your mate. Not everyone can do that.”“Elli, You don’t understand, that b**** killed all the babies too before dying.”Amanda looked around and said, “I don’t think she could have used power after you stabbed her totem with the dagger. Where are the babies? Let me have a look…”“Right there…” Alaric started saying but stopped when he saw that t
The next morning when Sienna woke up, she found herself in her bedroom. Alaric was seated beside her with her hand nestled between his.Before she could speak anything her mind got flooded with thoughts *My mate’s eyes are so mesmerizing. How I wish I could get lost in them. Her full lips make me want to drown in their sweetness.*Sienna’s face flushed. Pulling her hand away she said, “From when did you become so sloppy?”Alaric’s eyebrows furrowed and he said, “Sorry…”It was then Sienna realized that his lips hadn’t moved at all. She sat up with a start and said, “Does that mean I was hearing your thoughts?”“Maybe… mates can hear each other’s thoughts once the male has marked the female… I don’t know if Human mates can do that…”He cupped Sienna’s face in his hands and thought about the first time he met her.&ldquo
Sienna indeed felt useless sitting alone in the room. She was lost in her thoughts when Daniel came running. His face was pale and he was panting badly, “Mommy… mommy… please come quickly… Daddy…”Sienna knelt and asked him, “What happened to Daddy?”“A Biggie biggie man carried him away… Daddy didn’t open his eyes…”Sienna picked him up in her arms and asked for the exact location where he had seen him. From his description, it seemed as if he was taken to the nearby warehouse.She took off her sandals and took out the revolver from the drawer. Instructing, Ruby to take care of Daniel she ran in the direction of the warehouse.Her dress got caught in brambles and she had to tear off apart of it to move ahead but this was her least of her concern.She ran as fast as her legs could carry. Her eyes widened in horror when she saw Alaric tied up in chains. He was
The Witch of Artemia was seated on a large bed in an ornately decorated tent. The war had finally ended, and now she could focus on what she wanted. Her lips stretched into a wide smile at that thought.“Madam, Alpha Alaric is here to see you.” A young girl said, entering the tent. She walked straight up to the witch and stood bowing her head. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I have to do so many preparations!” She said, jumping up and looking around the tent. Everything was in its place, yet she didn’t seem satisfied.
Two years later…..An interview was in session for the post of a data entry operator. Hundreds of people had queued up for this post. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of the Prestigious ‘Alaric Enterprises’?Though the opening was for a mere data entry operator, it paid much better than any other job. Hence, the rush. Mr. Alaric Woolf was known for his generosity, but at the same time
Jamie rang up the reception and said, “Send the candidates in one by one after ten minutes.”Then he disconnected the call without waiting for her reply. Jamie drew in a few deep breaths and sat down. This was the first time he was assigned the job of choosing someone. He wanted to do it well. Who knows he could even get a raise if he chose the right candidate.He went over all the qualities req
Sienna glanced at her watch every few seconds. Though it’s glass was cracked, it still did its job well. It was already two hours since all the other candidates had left. She wrung her hands and contemplated if she should go and ask about it to the receptionist but she couldn’t gather enough courage. She stole glances at the receptionist every now and then but she was engrossed in her work. Sensing Sienna’s stare on her the receptionist looked at her. Sienna gave a weak smile and she was about
