Chapter 3
The sun was rising again as the night was slowly fading. The cool breeze wasn’t cold anymore.
Sierra and Damon woke up and could hear some howling. Damon kissed Sierra on the ear and sent shivers over her whole body.
“Run before they see you.” Sierra said with fear.
Damon got up and quickly turned then ran off so it looked like it was just Sierra there. Then reality set in and Sierra started crying. The howling got closer and soon the whole pack was near her. Alpha Ryan, her father was fuming with anger and walked straight up to Sierra then slapped her hard across the face making her fall to the ground.
"You dirty slut. Get back at once!" Alpha Ryan yelled at Sierra.
Sierra heard Damon stop running in the distance as her hearing was on him and his was fixated on her. All Sierra can do is try to hint to him to stay away.
"Fine father I will go back!" Sierra shouted.
She made sure to have shouted it loudly so Damon knew to not come as she wouldn't be there. Sierra heard his steps stop approaching. When they got to the pack house, Alpha Ryan grabbed her hair into a bun and threw her into the dungeon to spend a night. Then she started singing and he was unhappy. Sierra sang the song her mother used to sing to her.
"For every young pup, shall drink from a cup, with some laughter, there’s no sorrow, for the next day to follow, for every young pup, will cheer and say, thanks to the Luna for such a lovely way, the moon in the sky, the stars held up high, the beautiful gift we treasure. For every young pup, shall drink from a cup. Until no more." As Sierra sang, that she had started to cry.
Her father turned around to face her.
"Your mother left because of you. I still have her voicemails." Hatred and regret in his voice.
With that he walked off leaving me sobbing.
"The moon in the sky, the goddess and I, together are we all one, the moon shining down, will change any frown, until the sorrow is no longer shown, your beauty your grace, and your elegant face, will bring us together forever. With the moon in the sky, there's no need to cry. I'll be here always and forever." I heard that song sung to me and remember I sang that the night it all happened. I realised the voice was Damon.
"I love you sierra." He whispers before running so he isn't caught.
Sierra imagined how life would be if she lived with him. He had disappeared for quite a few months and Sierra had feared they caught him and killed him. Alpha Ryan saw how miserable she was and said she wasn't with a mate anymore so she no longer needed to be down there. Sierra felt like maybe Damon planned to run so they would let her go. She hoped it anyway. Sierra had put clothes in her room together and hid them under her bed for if Sierra ever saw him again. Sierra decided if Damon came back, she would run away with him.
Nearly 2 years later…
Sierra is nearly 18 and still had no word from him. Alexine whines and cries a lot. Meanwhile Sierra just eats ice cream. Alpha Ryan is getting suspicious, he keeps coming in and telling her as soon as she is 18 she will be mated and needing to pick a mate. He changed his mind since Sierra told him as soon as she was older that she would. Alpha Ryan sent his understudy in case Sierra left or tried to run away. Michael the understudy, the one Alpha Ryan keeps trying to convince Sierra to mate with. Alpha Ryan got Michael to try to scare Sierra by telling him to leave his clothes on but granting permission to rub against him and tease him. It didn't work. If anything it broke Sierra’s heart more because it wasn't Damon. Sierra saw all the people nearby and had decided if Sierra had to pick. She would pick Jordan, a kind person. That she had gotten to know and gotten to befriend. Jordan spent nearly every day with her. He protected her from the other males that made harassing and vulgar comments about Sierra. But to ensure her safety, that way alpha Ryan doesn't send all the unmated males onto her. Sierra hadn't heard from Alexine. She stopped communicating to Sierra to try to reach Bane. One day Alexine had spoken to her.
“Sierra, in a week time head to the creek near the house. He will be home by then.” Alexine said.
Sierra became impatient and waited for the day finally to leave as the sun is rising. Sierra put on her sexiest little outfit as she is almost 18 and it's a beautiful button up light pink top that's a little see through with a black bra underneath. A small black pants that are halfway to her knees with lacey underwear. Sierra chucked on my black little cardigan as well so no one could see her dressed up. Sierra walked into the tree line not knowing who or what to expect. Sierra started running quickly.
“Am I early?” Sierra asked Alexine.
Sierra had run to the creek, when she reached the creek she had bent forward out of breath and held her knees as she was catching my breath. She went into the water to cool off. It wasn’t until she got her leg caught on something, that she ducked underneath. Sierra untangled her leg and grabbed the strap her foot was caught on. The water was not that deep. Sierra found a backpack. Green algae covered most of it, the fabric was faded and looked worn. Sierra had thrown it aside onto the edge of the creek. Sierra sat next to the backpack. Sierra had started to look around and felt alone, but she was at peace as well. Sierra stared calmly at the creek. Certain she may always be afraid of water since she nearly drowned at a young age. But as long as the water wasn’t deep, she would stand in it.
