Chapter 2 Two more push ups and her afternoon routine would be done .
Sienna felt beads of swest dating her forehead as she went about her secret workout in the small hovel in the basement she called home .
The concrete floor bit into her hands , and the smell of mildew and dampness indiltrated her lungs , but at least she didnt have to worry about anyone else coming down here .
Jenna wouldnt dare try to traverse the stairs with smmall pot sat against one wall , and a dresser with three moked drawers sat next to the other .
All of her clothes easily fit in those three compartments sitace her entire wardrobe consisted of land me downs .
It was mostly joggers with ripped knees , T shirts , and mismarched socks .
Sienna always looked like shed pulled her clothes out of the lost and found at the worlds dirtiest Laundromat .
At least I never have to worry about Above her head , she heard the squeak of fonalsands new someone was home .
Just in time , she whispered to herself as she finished her final push up and wiped the sweat off of her forehead with the back of her hand .
Her long , dark luir was pulled back in a ponytail .
She removed the holder as she ran up the stairs , knowing shed be ridiculed for how she looked regardless of how hard she tried to be presentable .
Completing her chores had taken about the same time as it usually did four hours .
Every day , she cleaned the entire two story , five bedroom .
house from toge to bottom .
She cleaned all of the floors , dusted , washed the windows , and straightened up .
She did all of the laundry and put that away , as well as cleaning the four bathrooms .
It was all risitine now , and she could do it without thinking .
It didnt matter how good of a job she did .
Chue of the family members would always find something she hadnt done perfectly , even if they had to mess it up themselves , and shout at her casing her to redo it .
So , she needed in he upstairs when they got home .
At least she didnt have to cook , dinner .
Another pack member , an older woman named Ruth , came to fix dinner for the Alpha and his family every night because Sienna simply wasnt skilled in the kitchen .
She could make the basics .
Despite Jennas complaints , there was nothing wrong with her eges .
Ruth liked cooking for the most important family in the pack , and they enjoyed the fancy meals she prepared .
Sienna sometimes was given the scraps , but most of the tune , she was left to eat whatever Ruth set aside for her , such as bread crusts , meat that was about to go bad , fruit with spots on il ric i was no wonder she was so thin despite her best attempts to build muscle and increase her strength .
There you are .
Veronica said as Sienna crested the stairs .
Are you down in your room hiding ? No , Maam , Luna Veronica , Sienna said with her head down .
She didnt offer an explanation for why she wasnt upstairs because she knew it didnt matter what she had to say Veronica gave her a sharp look and tossed a sopping wet bathing suit and towel in her direction Wash these for Jeanna .
Now Yes , Maam , Luna Veronica .
Sienna rushed off to the laundry room , glad to be excused .
She took her time getting her fourth load of Laundry started for the day .
It was only the bathing suit and towel and a few kitchen towels that Ruth mustve dinied preparing dinner .

At least shed have nothing to clean With the washer started , Sienna headed to the dining room where the family was already eating .
She was made to stand in the corner while they are in caur Jenna , or anyone for that matter , needed anything .
Most of the time , Jenna was so busy talking about her day that she forgot Sienna was even there .
Something was different tonight though When Sienna walked into die room , Jenna was Laughing with glee .
Daddy ! I can hardly believe it ! she exclaimed .
Light Sky Pack is the most powerful pack in the arrat To have a chance to meet Alpha Kaden Stone , let alone dance with him at the Goddess Moon Ball , is a dream come true ! Sienna tried not to let her face change .
There was going to be a Goddess Moon Ball ! At Light Sky Pack ! Her initial reaction was to cringe .
Though the couldnt let them see , her stomach began to contract with nerves .
Not only did she hate leaving the pack , but knowing shed have to go with Jenna to an event like this , where shed be at her branties , had Sienna desperately wishing she wouldve already carried out her plan to run away .
Jennu might see this as a dream come true , but for Sienna , it was a nightmare in the making Yes , yes .
I received the invitation in the mail this afternoon , Alpha Keni said with a pleaseid smile on his face .
Sienna never looked directly at the family members if she could heljrit , that she was familiar enough with his facial expressions to be able to picture the exact smirk he had on his face .
Kent was a good looking fellow for his age , she supposed .
At least , thats what all of the other women said .
He wasnt quite as tall and broad- shouldered as most of the other Alplus who had visited their pack , such as Thundering Moon , but he was handsome and strong .
His strawberry- blond hair and light green eyes gave him the appearance of being kind and approachalde .
It was all a facade .
Like his daughter and wife , Kent was coldbarated anterurl .
It was his vengeaner that had put her in this positiaran made her father leave the pack forever .
Sienna hated him , but ere was nothing she could do in get even with him .
At best , she could dream of griting away from him .
Whing do we drave ? Veronica asked .
The wine glass in her hand was pearly empty , and it likely wasnt her first .
She always had three or four glasses with dinner .
Even though alcohol didnt affect shifters the same way as it did humans , she still ended up tipsy at best , possibly drunk by the coil of Two days from it new , tan Wedursday , Kent explained .
There will be some festivities before the ball .
Of course , Ive requested we be given the best accommodations availalde tals , well , its Light Sky .
Im sine all dl of darle guest rooms are divine , Jenna said , soupling soldier than ever .
Tim sure youče ngla , lan dhary have a cabin that overlooks the river , atal Ive asked Kaden to be sure to give us that one , Kent explained as he cut 1/2 Sienna couldnt see it from where she was standing , but it smelled like braised chicken .
Chapter 2 He better give us that cabin then .
Jenna said with her bottom lip protruding in a pout .
If I hear one of those b * tches from another pack gets a better room than me .
Ill be pissed.
Dont worry , dear .
Well get in a little early and make sure we get the best room .
Veronica patted Jenna on the shoulder .
Sienna sorted through what all of this would mean for her .
As if her thoughts had been broadcast across the room , Jenna shouted , Sienna Youd better start packing for me tomorrow ! Im going to have to make sure I have plenty of outfits to pick from ? Yes , Miss Jenna , Sienna said , keeping her blue eyes cast to o the wooden floor .
Well need to go shopping tomorrow to get you a new ball gown too , Veronica reminded her stepdaughter .
Definitely .
Jenna said as if that was a given .
Daddy , Im going to need your credit card with the highest limit .
Yes , dear , Kent replied .
Whatever you want .
If Alpha Kaden is looking for his fated match , weve got to make sure that he finds her .
He chuckled and added , I have a feeling shes in this room Jenna giggled gleefully again .
Her blonde hair bounced I cant wait ! Sienna swallowed the lump in her throat , wondering how her nightmare life just kept getting worse .
Part of her felt sorry for this Alpha Kaden , a person shed never met but had gathered was quite a catch based on Jennas squeals of delight .
If he was young and attractive , as Jenna had alluded to , she would stop at nothing to sink her claws into the man .
If Jenna was going to throw everything she had at winning him over , he was about to get hit by a typhoon .
He probably had no idea what he was getting himself into , But if he liked stuck up , spoiled brats , then Siennas nightmare would be Kadens dream come true .
If his future wife really was in that room , Kaden Stone had better be ready for the whirlwind of emotional wreckage coming his way
