Chapter 10 Sienna Please , just let me take the bags up .
Sienna begged as Mrs.
Stone asked some of her servants to carry Jennas bags up the stairs .
It will be better this way Oh , dont worry , dear , Mrs.
Stone said with a friendly smile on her face .
They dont mind helping Sienna swallowed hard .
It wasnt the servants helping with the bags she was worried about .
It was the girl waiting for her at the top of the stairs .
Picking up the biggest bag i was left , Sienna headed for the stairs just as Jenna shouted for her again .
Sienna Where the hell are you ? to Jenna Im coming .
Miss Jenna , she said , trying to keep the strain out of her voice .
By the time she reached the room that had been appointed to all of the other bags were there .
Sienna took the large suitcase in and set it down Jenna ignored the Light Sky staff members , not even thanking them , as if she couldnt see them Shir could see Sienna though The door was open behind her as the two men and a woman filed out , Sienna set the bag near the others at the foot of the bed and waited .
Keeping her head down , staring at her shoes , she braced herself for what was coming .
When the blow came , it was so hard it almost knocked her off of her feet .
Sienna stumbled backward and fell to the ground .
The entire side of her face was on fire Jenna came at her again , bending over her as she pointed a finger .
Dont you dare forget that you are my servant , you stupid b * tch ! I didnt bring you here for a freaking holiday ! You do what I say when I say , and if other people keep helping you , well , theres going to be hell to pay Sienna Laid there knowing that if she got up , shed just get knocked down again .
For the first time ever , someone actually came to her deffense What in the world is going in ! Hannah Stones voice was already recognizable to Sienna even though shed just met the woman .
Why Are you all night , dear ! Sienna got to her feet quickly , keeping her red check turned away from the Luna .
Yes , Maam she said .
Tm fine .
I just fell You did not fall , Hannah said , putting her hands on Siennas shoulders .
She couldnt remember the last time someone lovingly touched her .
I beard that smack halfway down the stairs ! Well , I never ! Sienna didnt dare look at Jennas face , but she had to assume the other girl was fuming at being called out for her abusive ways .
I dont think you understand the situation , Luna Hannah , she said , her tone completely disrespectful .
Sienna is my servant .
She does what I say And that gives you the right to knock her senseless? Just because you want to ? Jennas mouth hung open , and she made a stuttering sound before she shouted , Daddy ! Whats going on Sweetpea ? Mr.
Burk asked , coming in the room .
It seemed clear to Sienna that hed already known there was a problem , or it wouldve taken him longer to get there .
Luna Hannah doesnt understand about Sienna , Daddy .
Can you explain to her , please ? Jenna whined .
Sienna glanced over at her beneath her veil of hair and saw Jennas arms folded .
Her perfectly pedicured foot was toring the plush carpet .
Of course , Buttercup , Alpha Kent said .
Dont worry yourself over this one , Hannah , he said .
His tone was both condescending and disrespectful to his hostess , who was also his elder .
Shes not worth your time ? She is a human being and doesnt deserve to be treated like a dog , Hannah said with her hand still resting on Siennas shoulder .
Like a dog ? Kent repeated .
We would never treat our dog like that ! It was supposed to be a joke , she supposed , but Kent was the only one laughing .
Not even Jenna found a way to push out a chuckle While you are guests in our home , we would appreciate it if you would please refrain from any surt of physical violence toward anyone .
Please , Hannahı said , in no uncertain terms ..
Jenna , honey , try not to hit Sienna until we get home , Kent said as his way of compromise .
Fine Jenna said Cans just get out of here then ! I cant stand the way she smells .
n over and take a look at the ballroom , why dont you ? That was Veronicas voice .
Sienna hadnt realized she was also standing there , mostly in the hallway .
We want to make sure that Jerus dress matches the decur perfectly .
Yes , Mrs.
Burk Sienna said , happy to be able to pull away from Mrs.
Stones touch .
Even though it was kind of the woman to try to comfort her , the wasnt used to bring touched gently .
Keeping her head down , she headed back down the stairs but stopped dead in her tracks when she almost collided with Kaden Stone coming back up .
She wondered how hed gotten back downstairs since shell seen him go up , but she figured he was a busy guy .
She knew he was coming because of that distinct arnell 1/2 the forest , freedom Chapter 10 Swallowing hard , she stood perfectly still and waited for him to go around her .
He didnt speak , and that was fine with her .
Whether he noticed what was happening or not , she couldnt say , but it was best if neither of them acknowledged it .
It wasnt as if he could possibly ever acknowledge that she was his fated match .
Once he was gone , Sienna darted down the remaining stairs and out the door , finally letting the tears that had filled her eyes when Jenna hit her trickle down her cheeks .
She wiped them away .
It was nice to have a few moments to herself , even if she was certain shed be made to pay for Mrs.
Stones kindness when she returned .
The crisp autumn air cooled her smarting cheek and lightened her load a little .
She wasnt sure which way to go , but she decided to head back toward the main part of the village , figuring she could find the ballroom from there As she walked , she passed plenty of people on the streets who were having fun , chatting about the upcoming ball , playing around , laughing , and joking .
Sienna wondered what it would be like to be a kid like that , to have friends to joke around with .
Shed never known .
The idea that she might know one day was fleeting , especially since she intended to leave as soon as she could .
Up ahead of her she saw a large building with the doors propped open and figured that had to be the ballroom .
Shed go there and maybe find a way to help decorate if possible .
Shed have to steer clear of those mean girls that shed run into when shed arrived at Kadens house though .
She didnt need to see them again .
She didnt need to see Beta Alec again either.
He was nice , but that was going to cause trouble .

Laughter and music came from inside the ballroom .
She could hear it from a few blocks away .
These people sure knew how to have fun .
Their Luna was kind and loving .
Maybe most of these people were too She wondered how it was possible that she could be fated to marry Kaden .
It just seemed so impossible ! He was an Alpha , and she was no one .
Granted , shed heard rumors that her father had been a Beta at one time , but she didnt know if it was true .
The story of what had happened that fateful night , the night she was born , wasnt clear to her .
Most people said that her dad freaked out when his wife went into labor and ran away .
Other people said he left his post to be there when Sienna was born .
Either way , there was an attack that night , and many pack members were killed , including the Alphas first wife , Jennas mom .
Sienna felt terrible about that , but she wished she knew what had really happened .
It seemed strange that two girl who lost their moms the same night could be so different , one hating the other so very much If her father really had been a Beta , it might make sense that she could be matched to Kaden .
Otherwise , it was just a cruel joke by the Moon Goddess .
Honestly , it didnt matter .
Sienna couldnt possibly expect Kaden to accept her as his mate .
Even if she wasnt a ridiculed servant who was constantly knocked around , she was still her .
A tiny , ugly , smelly girl with nothing special about her and no prospects .
There was no way in the world someone like Kaden would choose her even in the best of situations .
As she walked into the ballroom and saw the beautiful , expensive decorations , she was sure there was no point in holding on to even the slightest possibility that her fated match might want to be with her .
