Sienna’s POV:

“Isn’t there some way I can remove the imprint?” I asked, my voice t after calming down a little. I was a psychopath. I didn’t feel emotions so deeply. So then, what was this? This burning, painful sense of dread and helplessness? I pushed the feeling down, deep inside.

“The only way to remove an imprint without killing the wolf, is to stay away from the him for an indefinite amount of time. Sometimes the imprint would go away in just a year. But for some it can take half a century. It depends on the level of the imprint.” She said, her voice low as she tried to hide her frustration. My body went rigid at the idea of staying away from Haider. A year. Fifty years. It was an eternity. A lifetime. His lifetime. And a part of me, a deep, primal part, screamed in protest. The part that had seen colors for the first time in years. The part that had dreamed of him. What was wrong with me? Why was it affecting me so much? It’s not like I have ever nned on letting someone mark me, or getting married.

I swallowed, my throat dry. “I can’t… easily drink anyone’s blood. But it’s still possible?” The words were ast- ditch attempt to find a loophole, a way out of thisplicated mess.

She pursed her lips, her eyes careful and searching. “It is. Of course it is. But it will be painful. Do you really want to be force–fed?” She questioned, her voice turning gentle.

I pursed my lips. I didn’t speak, a thousand thoughts rushing through my mind. Force–fed. I had seen it before once, putting a tube down their throat to stop the gag reflex while being forced to drink blood they didn’t want. The thought was sickening. I watched as she began conversing with someone on the phone, her voice a low murmur. She walked around the living room, back and forth.

When she was finally done, she turned to look at me, her face set in a grim line. “You really won’t tell me who he is? It’s not like I can’t find out.” The words were a challenge, a cold, hard usation.

“I already told you. I don’t know.” I lied. “Even if I did. How is it his fault? Why kill him when I was the one who bit him first?” I questioned with a frown. It was illogical. All of this. A senseless, violent thing.

She sighed, a low, weary sound. “It’s not that easy, Sienna. You were probably lured towards him. Do you really think there aren’t countless people trying to make us slip? We have many enemies who have tricks up their sleeves.” I scoffed at that. “We aren’t royalty.” I shot back.

“No. We are more important than royalty.” She asserted.

I sighed, shaking my head. “Why can’t we just resolve this properly.”

I highly doubt Haider is even aware of his Alpha Genes. He was a human. A boy who smiled and worried about my well–being. How he managed to imprint on me was beyond me. But I doubted he himself was aware that he had. “Can’t he just take it back somehow? Imprint on someone else?” I asked.

She frowned, lost in thought for a moment before she came back to herself, her eyes cloudy

She sighed, and shook her head. “Just… go to your room. Wait for the doctor and then we’ll discuss this again. I’ll call Mkai.” The words were a cold, brutal p. I stiffened at that. “Is him being here really necessary?” bI /bquestioned.

She looked at me, a hint of pity in her eyes. “Sienna… he’s your father… he’s been through a lot which made him the way he is, but believe me he only has your best interests in mind.” She said and I sighed. Just shrugging as I turned and made my way back to my bedroom.

It’s not that I thought of my father as a monster. I didn’t hate him. No. It was quite the opposite. Anna just believed I didn’t notice. My father was the one who hated me. Because I killed my mom. Giving birth to me, was what killed his wife. The love of his life. Like I said before, I was an abomination. His creation, a monster of both worlds, a disgrace to both of them. And now Haider had somehow marked me. A human boy had marked a vampire–werewolf hybrid. I felt something inside me swirl. A low, unpleasant feeling that was half- sickness and half–fear. Was this guilt? Because I think that would be what I was feeling right now. A sharp, stinging emotion that was so foreign to me. How could I possibly me Haider for this when I was the one who attacked him. I was the one who lunged forward. I was the one who bit him. I was the one who took from

him.

I could resolve this in a better way. I knew if I asked Haider to give me blood, he seemed like the type who would. He was a good boy. Too good. But he’d want something in return and the worst part was that what he’d want wasn’t any marypensation, he’d want something that would include ‘emotions‘. I wasn’t sure to what end and right now, I didn’t know if I could risk it.

Especially since the rift of the Vampires and wolves had only grown after my mother’s death. Haider and his family might not be able to retaliate or do anything… but I knew my family. The Legacy’s appeared harmonious in public, but in private? I wouldn’t put it past my Aunt to actually kill him, she was capable of it, and so was my father.

The night passed just like that, once in the safety of my room, I hacked into the school CCTV and erased all traces of me and Haider together. Soon after, the doctor arrived. A stern, severe–looking woman. While giving me a check–up, she asked me a series of questions about my symptoms, my body temperature, and my sleeping habits.

“You are going into heat. It’s confirmed. However since it’s your first, I wouldn’t rmend using heat suppressants. I have prescribed them either way, since this is just the beginning it will take twenty four hours before the heat builds up. I rmend taking care of it naturally, I’m sure it will be easy to contact some professionals and arrange for a bedmate for you. Since you’re a hybrid however, I can’t guarantee anything, I’m not sure how long it willst and how strong it will be. We will just have to see how things progress. Of course that means you should be staying indoors. Not going anywhere for a while.” She said and droned on but my mind stayed stuck on herst words. Stay indoors. A low, bitterugh escaped me. After seeing colors for the first time in years, after feeling something, I was now being told to stay inside, to lock myself away.

“Also, this is a reminder, in case you didn’t know. But your psychopathic tendencies are a diagnosis of your vampire side.” She said, her eyes moving to look at my aunt as well, who seemed to go stiff. “What are you saying?” Anna questioned.

“Since this is the first time your wolf self is emerging, there is a chance that your personality, and your emotion might shift as well.” My eyes widened at her diagnosis.

Emotions… is that why I had be so agitated? I felt a knot of fear twist in my guts as the implications of her words set in. I was changing.

But… even so, even though I didn’t want to think about it, as I felt the heat inside me intensify… a dangerous idea emerged.

I wanted to bsee /bhim.
