"Don't worry about him, we will sort things out soon. We will do everything possible to make sure Dera doesn't stay in this estate and in Gray's life." Carla was fusing with anger inside of her, her eyes were bloodshot.

"Carla, I can't believe this is happening to me!" She sank to her knees.

Carla tried her best to raise Sienna. She led her into the house, to her apartment.

"We can't believe this is happening!" People started to comment. The Alpha didn't even give them a hint that he was going to take another Luna after Sienna had already been installed as their Luna.

Sienna was their most beloved Luna, she was cordial and merciful, and there was no reason for anyone to hate her with the type of life she lived.

Yes, this caused a great sense of worry to all but it couldn't be measured by the worry Sienna had. This disturbed Sienna more than she ever thought of. So she decided to spend her days inside her room, turning an introvert overnight.

Gray was becoming so violent in words and act each time they crossed each other, so she chose to avoid him.

Since Alpha Gray was a terror in appearance as well as in actions, no one dared to challenge him for his new treatment of their beloved Luna, Sienna. They kept quiet, not as though they didn't care but they were afraid. Aside from this, Gray wasn't the type that would listen to anyone. As for the Beta, he watched what was happening in silence.

Sienna continued to live in her misery, wishing for things to change but it came up to the point that Sienna couldn't keep quiet any longer, so she decided to act.

"I don't give a damn shit whether she's his fucking mate or whatever, I will drive her out of this estate!" She vowed as she left her room finally. She headed to her husband's apartment which he now shared with Dera.

As she approached, she saw Dera going into the room she once used to stay with her husband, it was their matrimonial room.

Dera held a tray of appetizers chopped into pieces which she and Gray were going to eat for the morning. She was going to make a fruit salad for Gray, it was obvious. This was her favorite delicacy while in bed with Gray. Then Dera used to prepare it.

It was so sad that she now had to be the one enjoying this with her husband while she had to stay alone and gloomy inside her room, gazing over at the window every day, dying of loneliness.

Sienna hastened up, pulling her by the shoulder so violently that the tray fell and all of the fruits fell on the ground.

"Hey girl, what are you up to?" She growled, snarling at her.

"I'm over there in my room, so sad and lonely and you think you can enjoy my husband. No!" She shook her head. "Not in this life."

"You, ugly bitch, I wonder why you should be so clingy. It's so disgusting!" Dera spat on her. “You don't even fit to be his Luna.”

"Gray has shown many times he doesn't want you, still you persist. Don't you think you should pack your things and go out into the streets?"

"Go and die there with your bitterness!"

"I'm tired of seeing your ugly face in this house!" She spat on Sienna. Sienna couldn't believe that her little stepsis was talking to her this way just because she happened to become her husband's new Luna.

As she bent to pack the appetizer from the ground into the trash can since they couldn't be fed on again, Sienna jacked her by the hair. Jacking her face up, she gave her a hard slap which sent her crashing to the ground.

It was at this point Alpha Gray came out. He had a white towel wrapped over his waist. He had beads of water streaming down his chest. His hair was messy. His chest was hard with his eight-pack abs making him look all sexy and hot.

His face was strong, his eyes turned red seeing his little mate on the floor.

He didn't say a word but dashed at Sienna, giving her several slaps. Her cheeks turned red, her entire face got swollen. He kicked at her and she stumbled, falling to the ground. Sienna groaned in pain.

He then rushed over to Dera.

"What's going on sweetheart?" He was panting. "Hope you're not really hurt? I can't believe this clingy fool pushed you to the ground."

Sienna cried out. "I can't believe you would do this to me after all the love and earnest promises.” She said in tears and a broken voice. “I still can't believe why you would do this, you came in and without knowing what happened between us, you descended on me." Her heart was pierced as she saw Gray petting Dera.

When he raised his head and shot her a glance, she shivered. He had so much hate in his eyes towards her.

"She said she's going to kill me if I don't leave this estate!" Dera lied after Gray raised her to her feet.

"What?" Gray gasped, about to descend on Sienna again but Dera held him.

"Don't worry, I'll deal with her myself."

Dera stormed towards Sienna, pushing her against the wall. Sienna's knees were weak. Gray's beating had rendered her weak physically and emotionally. Even with her weakness, there was a fire in their hearts.

She pushed Dera's hands off her.

"Get your filthy hands off me!" She barked at her, pushing her away from her.

With this, Dera still walked towards her, Sienna's eyes were filled with shock. She couldn't believe that her little stepsis she helped could take this stance against her. Her heart was still into when they were mistress and maid.

The anger infuriated her, making her shift into her big gray wolf. "I'm gonna show you that I'm still your superior, even when my husband is touching you!"

Dera was scared at first, but soon she found herself slowly shifting too. Gray glared at them, wishing Dera would beat Sienna. He was ready to defend her in case the fight took another turn.

"What were you expecting before?" Dera mocked. "You didn't want him to touch his mate, but to come touch you, old girl?" Sienna was five years old, she was more mature in appearance which made Dera refer to her as an old girl.

She scanned her body with prideful eyes then turned to look with disgust at Sienna's. Her eyes were enough to pass on what she had in mind. Dera was mocking Sienna, showing her how young and beautiful she was.

This, she did before she completely shifted to her radiant brown wolf.

Just then the Beta arrived to tell Gray important news only to catch the side of both Sienna and Dera in their wolf form. It was a crime to shift inside the estate. Shifting could be done outside.

"What's happening here?" He growled. He was surprised to see the Alpha watch this without saying anything.

"Hey, stop. You two." He moved towards them to pull them apart but Gray grabbed him from behind, pushing him away.

"Who's asking you to pull them apart? Are you crazy?"

Fred stared at Gray with a puzzled gaze. Shifting was prohibited inside, the rule was even made by Alpha Gary himself.

“You will not get away with this!” His Beta snapped at him and walked away. He stormed out of the room, he couldn't contend with Alpha Gray's recent behavior.

Sienna was about to storm out too when Gray grabbed her violently.

“How dare you treat my fated mate this way? Do you know she's greater than you in rank right now?”

This was the last thing Sienna expected to hear. What she thought was happening right in front of her.

"But you said your mate doesn't stop me from being the Luna of this pack?" She reminded him with a smirk on her face. She was about to cry but seeing that Gray would be happy to see her hurt, she held back her tears. Instead of a tear, she held a smirk.

"How is that even possible when I've found my heart?"

"So you believed?" He chuckled, folding his arms across his chest.

"Oh God!" Sienna exclaimed, raising her hands to her head. She looked at both of them with a cold smile, not saying a word.

His conscience hit him hard, even amid his disgust towards Sienna, he was pushed to talk gently with her.

“I promise to hold you dear by my side, but my wolf beats for Dera. She's my mate and as the Alpha, I need her. I'm sorry, I can't help." He walked away from her to Dera. He draped his hand over Dera's shoulders, turned, and pulled her into a tight hug.

"I'm pretty sure I'll be removed as Luna soon, it's already obvious!" She shut her eyes so tight to prevent her from seeing Gray hugging Dera. She rose from the ground.

“Dera is here to stay. Perish whatever thought you have against her. You'll only be chasing after the wind!" Gray growled before leading Dera inside his bedroom.

"I don't want to see these when I come out," he pointed to the fruits on the floor. With this, he slammed the door hard in her face.

Sienna remained there.

It didn't take long when she began to hear moans and groans coming from inside the room.

"Gosh! They are making out while I'm here, standing like a fool!"

She stormed off, kicking at the fruits to scatter more. She warned all of her maids not to touch it. She wanted to see what Gray would do when he eventually came out.

"I wouldn't turn to their slave, not in this house!"

"So sad! When someone you have becomes someone you used to have." Sienna sighed, as she climbed into her bed. Thoughts of Gray and Dera making love recreated in her head. She tried to wipe it away, but it persisted.

It seemed this was the new tempest she had to battle with, she didn't know for how long.

"So I'm not included in his future?" She sighed.

As she lay on the bed, she heard a knock on the door. This was three hours later.

"Come on, open this door!" It was the Alpha. "Why didn't you clean up that mess on the floor?"

Sienna rose, walking to the door. She leaned on it without opening it. "Ask your mate to do that for you, she dropped it, so she has to clean it."

With this, she returned to her bed. Pulling her headphones over her ear, she folded her arms across her chest wilding away time while listening to music. Gray was at the door knocking, not knowing she wasn't even hearing.

"I have to punish her so hard so all this disrespect would end!" Dera balled her fist in support, she held a sinister grin on her lips.

Towards the evening, it was time for the President of the Alpha Council to visit. Carla, Sienna's cousin, had made a post about the Alpha taking a new mate after he promised not to. She tagged the president in the post which got him to see it eventually.

She had made a promise to her cousin, and she had to fulfill it.

For the dinner which was an honor to welcome him, everyone had to be present. The Alpha was sitting with his mate, Dera. The Beta and Gamma with their mates were also present and three other senior members of the family were in attendance.

Sienna arrived late. There was no seat in place for her, the Alpha didn't order for an extra seat. Even though Patrick was the President of the Alpha council, he was under Gray's control. This was the secret Carla didn't know but Sienna knew.

"What's wrong between both of you?" He asked, deviating from Gray who was meant to be the center of focus.

He didn't want to get him angry. The Beta and Gamma who also knew the truth couldn't help but keep quiet.

Sienna smirked.

Dera, who had already thought of a perfect way to frame Sienna, spoke out. "She threatened to kill me ever since I came back as Alpha Gray's mate. I've known no peace."

"Will you shut up, you liar!" Sienna growled. She narrowed her eyes as she walked towards Dera. She couldn't understand why Dera of all people was doing this to her.

"You're saying this before the president? Faking up a statement I never made in my entire life?" She was about to slap her when Gray grabbed her arm, pushing it hard away.

“Apologize to Dera right now! You can't be a threat to her life, which I've been keeping quiet for some time now thinking you will change, only for you to attempt to assault her before everyone."

"This is an insult to my face!" He rose, heading towards Sienna who stood still, not showing a single sign of fear.

The Beta rushed to grab him, he couldn't be present and watch him beat up the real Luna whom he knew she had been enduring.

"Sienna, did you say that?" Patrick asked as he was watching the event as they unraveled in surprise.

“I will say no such thing!” Sienna retorted.

Gray pulled her by the hair and forced her to her knees in front of everyone.

“You will get to apologize on your knees since you don't want to stand up!” Everyone gasped, and Dera grinned. This has never happened before, it was the greatest insult to womanhood and the secret office of Lunahood

Sienna stood up with force, giving him a hard slap on his face. She spits directly to his face.

"I'll die rather than submit to you. Come on, kill me!"

Cheers arose from the table, Gray was shocked, with Dera. It couldn't be kept secret any longer that people didn't support him on what he was doing. Sienna herself couldn't take it any longer. She was planning what to do next.

Alpha Gray got so furious that she defied him, making fun of him that he grabbed her neck, shaking her, then he hit her on her face. He was so angry that his eyes shifted to yellow and he felt his wolf coming up. He was about to shift into his wolf and tear her to pieces but he feared the Cursed Alpha who didn't take it kindly with murderers. He was regarded as the Alpha Prince after all.

Should he kill Sienna, he will be executed. The Alpha President here would be a witness who would have to speak about what he saw. Only this made him control his temper, but still, he was so furious.

“This will teach you a lesson not to insult my fated mate again! It doesn't matter who she was to you before, what matters now is that she's your superior, she's my fated mate and as a fated mate, she's greater in rank than you."

“Fuck your stupid sense, you can't even see the truth.” He lashed at her.

"Useless woman!" He spit at her, leaving her side. Sienna stood with such a furious face, she was determined to deal with them no matter what it took her.

“Leave!"

But before he could even say this, Sienna was out of the door with her plans in mind.

“She can't hurt you, my love, not while I am around and still the Alpha.” Gray consoled his little mate, Dera who snuggled into his arms, enjoying the way one of his hands was draped around her chest.

Sensations were dribbling inside of her, she felt the urge to go to bed with him.

“I just hope she won't beat me up when you are not around, honey.” She whispered amid her moans.

“She can't try that!" Gray growled, sending courage into Dera who grinned happily.

"You know how much I love you, alright? Calm down, my baby.” He asked, patting her on her back.

A lot of thoughts were on Sienna's mind, she was greatly worried. If the start was this way, what would happen when Dera has pups into the marriage? She wondered.

Even if she leaves now, where is she gonna go?

She was just confused.

She was really in pain as she poured out her anger with no one there to listen to her. She burst into bitter tears out of frustration. Her wolf was getting weaker and weaker with the maltreatment she was receiving both from her husband and his mate.

It was such an insult for her husband to make her kneel before everyone. She bit her lips as the President couldn't even say a word of caution to him.

"He doesn't deserve to be the president!" She growled. “Both of them are a bunch of fools!”

Sienna sobbed all through the evening in her room until she attempted to force herself to sleep at night. She tried her best but couldn't sleep. She didn't want to call the attention of Carla who was always working as a scriptwriter.

She was a full-time worker and didn't even have much time for herself.

When the door to her room flung wide open all of a sudden, she jerked up in shock. She realized she hadn't pulled over the bolt. She was hurting so madly inside that she forgot to do the necessary.

Gray walked in.

“Pretending to sleep, huh?” He asked her.

“Well, there is always no peace for the wicked. So you think that you can just come to bed after causing so much trouble earlier, right?” He proved right the more as Sienna didn't give him any response.

“Keep ignoring me but I have come to warn you!” He continued as her silence was infuriating him.

“If you ever cause any trouble here in this estate again, I promise you that will be the end of our marriage! I will file for divorce and make sure you pay me any amount I stipulate."
