Chapter 3 Two Nore Days

Sierra pov. "Only one day left for him to come for me," I thought, my heart heavy with dread. I hadn't even left my room, nor spoken to anyone. The sight of my surroundings was bleak and desolate, a reflection of the despair I felt. I still couldn't believe that I had been kicked out of the Moonhowler Academy. My eyes closed as a tear trickled down my cheek, leaving a trail on my dress. I felt as though I were broken, shattered by the sudden turn of events. In just one day, my life had become a living hell. Staring at the wall, I appeared insane, lost in my thoughts. My mother had been calling out to me, but I refused to answer. I sat there, waiting for the earth to swallow me whole. As my phone rang, I looked down and saw that it was Nora calling. She had been trying to reach me since yesterday, after I had left the school building. I knew she was hurting, too. Alex had come to check on me, but I had locked my door, not wanting anyone to visit. I closed my eyes, imagining what my life would be like after tomorrow. "He will come to take me, and then I will have to live with him forever," I thought, tears streaming down my face. My heart was heavy with pain. "Why?" I whispered, holding my head in my hands, my face buried in my knees as I cried. Suddenly, my eyes were drawn to the window, and I looked up to see yellow eyes staring back at me. It was as if someone was calling out to me, beckoning me. I turned towards the window, jumping down and transforming into my wolf form as I ran towards the alley. I didn't know what I was doing, but I knew I had to follow that direction. Soon, I stopped and looked around, trying to understand the reason why I had come here in the first place. A sound from behind caught my attention, and I turned around to see a large black wolf walking towards me. I stood there, staring at the wolf, wondering if it was the one who had called me. I changed back into my human form, still clothed, and slowly walked towards the wolf. It was as if I were being drawn to it, just as I had been drawn to the Lycan Alpha. I kneel as I stare into his eyes, which were way too attractive. I run my hands over the wolf's body, feeling how soft it is. The sight of his fur and the smell of his wildness surround me as I explore every inch of him. Suddenly, my eyes turn a bit blue as I continue to stare at the wolf. I move my hands slowly over his body as he closes his eyes, feeling my touch. I can't explain the strange draw I feel towards him, jumping out of my window and running towards the alley just to meet this wolf. "Why don't you change back?" I whisper into the wolf's eyes as they open and stare at me. Maybe this could be a different mate. After a long while of staring, the wolf starts changing into his human form. As I sit there, hoping to see someone different, I break down as I see that it's the Lycan Alpha. "You!" I say, scared as I move back, staring at him. He moves towards me, trying to touch me, but I stand up and run for my life. "Get away from me!" I start running back in the direction of my house, my heart pounding in my chest. "What was I thinking?" I look back, seeing that he's just standing there, not moving or chasing after me. I stop and turn to face him as I see a sad expression on his face. I stand there, trying to determine if I'm actually here or dreaming. He doesn't move, only stands, looking at me without saying a word. I start walking slowly towards him as I suddenly feel so sad. "Why wasn't he chasing after me?" I feel scared just seeing him staring at me, but he still isn't moving. Soon, I stop, trying to see if it's his plan to make me come to him so he can catch me. "I move back, just thinking about that," I thought to myself, taking a step away from him. I looked up at his face, and noticed that every time I moved away from him, he tried to speak, as if he didn't want me to leave. I stood there, taking in the sight of my mate, who looked like a beast in front of me. The scent of his musk filled my nostrils, and I could hear his ragged breathing. I soon found myself walking back towards him, drawn in by some unknown force. If he was actually what people said about him, then why wasn't he attacking me? Just then, I was in front of him, staring into his eyes. "Mate," he said, raising his hairy hands to touch my face. I could feel the roughness of his hands as I moved closer to him, placing my hands on top of his. I looked up into his eyes, and he stared back at me with hopefulness. "Why?" I whispered to him, as he moved his face closer to mine. "Why does it have to be you?" I whispered, feeling his warm breath on my face. His hands moved to my cheeks as he noticed the tears that were falling down my face. He pulled me closer to his chest, and I felt my body relax all of a sudden. I found myself closing my eyes, wanting to stay in his embrace forever. "Why was I feeling this way all of a sudden?" I tried to understand why I wasn't running, instead of relaxing more and more to his touch. "Please don't abandon me," I heard him whisper, his voice on the verge of tears. I couldn't understand why he was this way, but for some reason, I felt sad. Soon, I found myself falling into an empty slumber, feeling content and safe in his arms. It was as if I was meant to be there, as if we were two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together. Before I could reply to his question, I slept off.
