Asher's POV
"I don't care on what corner of the earth she is hiding at this moment. I need her here. I f*****g need her here!" I say as soon as I shift back.
"You can bet me on it" Ivan says as he already walks towards the pack.
I ran to the pack house. Sienna drove to the pack faster than our wolves could run. I just want to make sure my three girls are safe and okay.
I notice my car outside in the driveway and I am half relieved. I will be fully relieved once I see three of them with my own eyes.
And just as I enter the babies' nursery, I see Sienna sitting before the cribs as she stares at Deedee and Gigi peacefully sleeping.
Sienna notices my scent and turns around. When she looks at me, that is when she finally breaks down. I don't waste another second as I run towards her and take her in my arms.
Not kidding but whatever happened a few hours ago.. It scared me too. It scared the s**t out of me. If Sienna didn't run over a few witches breaking their bond, Ivan and I would have been dead even. They would have taken Deedee. They would have killed Sienna and little Gigi for that matter.
"I want that b***h to be dead" Sienna whispers and I know who she is talking about.
"Consider it done" I whisper, kissing the top of her head, my eyes on our babies.
"It is not safe for the kids anymore, Asher. The coven is going to be on their tails" Sienna says.
I agree with that. They almost succeeded even with Sienna, Ivan and me protecting Deedee and Gigi.
"This pack will not have a Gamma anymore" Sienna says out of the blue and I pull away to look at her. What does she mean?
"I don't know. It's like the pack is cursed and linked to the position of Gamma. Think about it. It all started when the ritual failed and my dad died. And then Avery and Logan" she says. I don't see a point but I can only sense that she is totally paranoid right now.
I thought she was doing great even when she took the news of her mom's death. She lost her mom, dad and husband. But she still had her calm.
Maybe she just bottled it all up. Now she feels threatened because someone tried to snatch her baby from her. And it is all coming out.
"I am not losing my daughter like that" she says and I smile sadly. I open my mouth to remind her that Gigi will always be safe but she beat me to it and what she said shuts me up.
"I am not losing my Deedee like that. No. No one is taking her" she says and I don't say anything. She might have not given birth to Deedee but she sure as hell took care of her all these months. She even breastfed my daughter so it's natural for her to feel like she is her daughter.
If anything, this warmed my heart immensely.
"Let me be the Luna. Let me pretend to be your wife for our children's sake. If you are an Alpha and I am a Gamma, that means we will never be there for our kids. If I am the Luna then you can fill in for my duties and I can fill in for you. We can take care of our children, Asher" Sienna says with hope in her eyes.
"Sia..that's not-"
"Please. Please" Sienna pleads as she hugs me again and this time, I can feel that she is starting to cry.
This brought out the trauma she always had but never noticed. Even the strong ones have a limit and life brought Sienna beyond her limits by taking everything from her.
Not only did she restart her life again a few months earlier, now it is back again because Katherine wants Delilah.
"Let me be the Luna. Let me be there for the kids. Let us run the pack without a Gamma" she whispers as she sobs again.
"The title Gamma is cursed. I don't want Gigi to be the Gamma either" Sienna says again and I don't know what to say.
But she is pushing me. And she pushed me until I said yes. She also made me promise her that we will have a wedding soon so that could be an alibi. One day we can show the kids the albums and make them believe that we were mates. That we were happy. We were together and we got married. Then we had them.
It is all a lie. But as time passes, even I feel that could be something we are going to do. The walls of the pack are going to be pulled up and the pack will run without a Gamma. The world can wonder but the kids are going to be safe.
