Chapter 27 Luna Hannaði had found her in the hallway outside of Jennasaloor , her knees to her chest , trying not to cry .
It was all so stupid .
Why in the world alad she feel like oying over a box ? Oka so maybe he wasst alsy .
Maybe he was a man .
And maybe it wasnt just any old man .
He did happen to De der Alpha of the pack she was visiting and the fated match the Moon Goddess herself lud chosen for her .
But still He had rejected her , and the way that he wasnt with crying ovEL Techiscally , he bodic ) rejected her yet , but hell told her that he would , so it was all just the same .
Sienna stood under the warm water of Laina Hamnalov shiomeça , leting her salty tears mingle with the war water , and attempted to get a grip on herself .
Why was this so upsetting to her ? For her entire life , shell been rejected by everyone Evenlerown father had walked away from her .
Granted , he hadnt had much of a choice .
But wouldnt be have found a way to come back for her ? To take her with him ! In all of these years , luid he ever even wondered what had happened to het ? Nom , she was a ghowit up , and men were sull walking away from her .
It was just part of who she was , and she was going to have to get used to it .
Hannaly was very kund .
Shell insisted that she come and take a shower and get dressed in some clean clothes her own again , of course .
Sienna had protested , but here she was , washing her hair with the fragrain rose scented shampoo and washing her bruised body with floral body wash .
Hannah had gottender a new loota to use , as well as a toothbrush , a hairbrush , some deodorant , and other toiletries .
Shed even given her lip gloss .
Lip phons Sarima had never used any kind of makeup in her ble , and she didnt intend to use it now , but it was nice to think that someone wanted to make it feel special It was just too bad Hannah Lunas grandson didnt feel the same way .
All Alphus were strong and domineering .
They had to be .
But there were times when she thought she saw a flash of something else in Kadens eyes .
Some sort of softness .
Clearly , that had been a mirage .
He had offered to help her , but that was out of pity , not out of kindness .
If Stenna had to guess , shed wager Hannah had told him to say that .
If he did say something to kent , it wondd make things a hundred times worse for Sienna , so she hoped he didnt Leaving the warm shower was just as difficult today as it had been the day before , but chances were dut Jenna was up by now .
Shed want to spend the day getting ready for the ball , even though it wasnt until the next night Jennas list of things that needed to be done in preparation would be the length of Siennas arm .
Standing in the shower was not going to make the list any shorter .
She got out and dried off , thinking of how embarrassed shed been when Kaden had walked in on her with only a towel on .
At least she had that Images of his perfectly sculpted body came to mind , and the grimaced , remembering how shed just wanted to run and hide but hadnt been able Hannah had a full length mirror in her bathroom .
When Sienna dropped her towel , she saw her ribs sticking out .
Her legs were too skinny, and she hardly had any hips at all .
Working out with Joel had made her arm muscles more defined , and her abs were detectable , but she needed to pack on some more muscle .
That was hard to do without protein , something she never got enough of Putting on the jean shorts and pink blouse over fresh underclothes made her feel like a million bucks .
She brushed out her hair and tied it back in a pometail , something she rarely did , but Hannah had left her the cutest tie .
Putting on deodorant was a luxury she hadnt done in a while , and brushing her teeth with a new toothbrushs felt incredible .
Shed been using the same one for years .
Once she was dressed , she studied herself in the mirror .
The girl staring back at her didnt look like the image she had of herself in her head .
Sure , her blir eyes were still way too big for her face .
That smattering of freckles made her look like she was a child instead of a twenty one year old young kontuan , and she was too skinny .
But her hair looked glossy and clean .
Her clothes werent dirty , and her face didnt look sallow or sunken since shed been allowed to eat since shed gotten here .
Sienna Elliott wasnt quite as awful as shed thought she was , Now , everyone else might still think she was awful , but she couldnt convince anyone else that she had value until she convinced herself .
With Luna Hannahs help , she was beginning to see that she was worthy of more than shed been given .
She deserved to be treated like a person And if Kaden Stone couldnt see that , then maybe the should be the one rejecting him .
Kadru Burying himself in work had been a coping mechaniun hed been using for years .
Most of the time , it worked well .
Today was not one of those days .
Even with a nup spread out on his desk depicting all of the places where Alpha Zane or his men had been spotted recently , Kaden couldnt concentrate .
All he could think about was that girl .
How hed made her cry .
How hed watched her run away from him when every fiber of his being was saying she should be running to hlin And then their was Grandma Hannah .
He luted it when she was disappointed in him , as she clearly was today .
There had to be a way to fix all of this without accepting or rejecting Sienna , but he didnt know what it was Thinking about it had him distracted from all of the work he needed to be doing A knock on the door made him glad for an actual distraction until he called , Come in , and it was Sylvia who came through the entryway with a large sanile on her pretty face .
Kaden wanted to drop his head onto the desk and shout , Not now ! but it was too late .
She was already standing in Tront of him , grinning like a Cheshire cat 10.02 AM D Chapter 27 Whats up , Sylvia ! he asked , returning his attention to the map with a pencil in his hand like he was actually able to get some work done .
Π Hi , Alpha she purred , sitting down in the seat across from him .
Her skirt was way too short and creeping up her thighs .
He kept his eyes on the map .
I was hoping we could chat for a moment .
Knowing she wasnt going to leave him alone until he gave her a few moments of his time , Kaden set the pencil aside and looked up .
What would you like to chat about , Sylvia ? She shifted in her seat , crossing and recrossing her legs , biting her bottom lip .
Kaden knew that expression .
Well , I wanted to talk to you about the ball , thats all What about it ? The two of them had been playing this little game for a few years now , and Kaden was more tired of it now ever .
Her grin widened .
She tossed her blonde hair over her shoulders .
Youve already promised me a dance , but I want more , Alpha Kaden .
She batted her eyelashes at him .
He knew that asking her to clarify would be a bad idea , yet he found the words coming out of his mouth before he could stop himself .

What do you want .
Sylvia ! Slowly , she got up out of her seat .
Placing her hands on the edge of his desk , she leaned forward toward him , her shirt falling open at the top .
He kept his eyes locked on her face .
In that voice she always used when she was trying to seduce him , she said , I want your guarantee that you and 1 will be leaving the dance together .
She leaned a little closer to him and then winced , glancing down at her hand , which still had some tape on it from the injury shed suffered the day before .
She was still trying to be sexy , even with that pained look on her face .
Kaden sucked in a deep breath and stood .
Slipping one finger beneath her chin , he leaned in close , his breath warming her face .
She blinked a few times , her bottom lip quivering like she thought he might be ready to kiss her.
He leaned closer so that his lips hovered just above hers .
In a sultry voice , he said , Sylvia ? Her lips almost brushed his , Yes , Kaden ? I want you to get out of my office.
