Chapter 31 Sienna Something was definitely wrong with Jerina , or right with her , which made it wrong .
After all , Sienna had been helping her get ready for dinner for almost an hour , and she hadnt called her one name , hit her , or told her she was doing something wrong .
For a normal person , that would not be a big deal .
But for Jenna .
This was the first time Sienna could ever remember helping Jenna in any way without being abused in one way or another .
Could you put the back of it up in a twist and then just let the little curls Fall around my face , please ? Jenna asked , speaking to Sienna like she was a regular person .
Sienna had never been asked to do anything followed by please in her life .
Yes , Miss Jenna , she said , not daring to fill out of her own routine and think it was safe to pretend they were friends .
She knew they werent .
As Sienna worked to put up her hair the way shed asked , Jenna asked .
So , What did Alpha Kaden really say to you when you told him you wanted him to ask you to dance ! Sienna fought the urge to look at her face in the mirror .
Is that what this was all about ? Jenna was working so hard to earn Siennas trust to get her to the dance the next night that she was actually pretending that she liked her .
It was both pathetic and scary .
He said he was looking forward to it .
Sienna said , just like kaden had told her to .
Jenna cleared her throat , and Sienna could see a vein in her neck starting to show .
She was fighting the rage that usually caused her to come unleashed and knock Sienna across the room .
He did ? Are you sure ! Yes , Miss Jenna she said .
But then she added , Perhaps he was joking Jennas eyes widened , and a look of relief washed over her face as she began to laugh .
Sienna had to be careful not to pull her hair because she was jerking around so much .
Oh , my goodness ! Jenna finally cked out while laughing .
Of course ! He was joking ! That makes perfect sense ! Oh , and you believed him ! I cant wait to tell Sylvia about this .
Sienna didnt say anything .
What was there to say ? As soon as Jenna stopped laughing , she finished putting up her hair and did a few more tasks to make sure Jenna was ready for dinner .
Goddess , do I look hot ? she asked , admiring herself in the mirror .
She was wearing a white dress that was cut so low it left little to the imagination .
She did look very pretty in the dress , but Sienna didnt think she could do much to redeem herself after the impression Kaden had gotten from her the night before .
Its too bad you cant come , but this dinner is only for house guests , and you dont count .
Yes .
Mass Jenru , Sienna said .
She didnt want to go to dinner anyway .
Shed had enough embarrassment the night before and was certain there would be more the next night at the dance .
You can have the night off Jenna said as she got up and walked to the door .
Just dont get yourself into trouble .
Yes , Miss Jerma Jenta leaded out the door , closing it behind her , and Sienna let out the breath shed been holding .
She wasnt sure if mean Jenna was better or worse than strange Jenna .
At least the other version of Jenna was predictable .
This one could snap unexpectedly at any second She couldnt remember the last time shed had an entire evening to herself .
Sienna was torn between whether or not to go out to the woods for a run , do some training , or read a book off of the shelf .
Since she hadnt gotten a chance to read in ages , she went over and plucked an interesting- looking historical novel from the shelf and found a spot in the closet on the floor away from the door .
She doubted shed get to finish the whole book , but just having the clunce to read for a bit was heavenly .
There was no way to know for sure when strange Jenna would disappear , but at least shed have an hour or two .
Thank you , Kaden , she whispered as she opened the book to the first page and lost herself in the story .
Kaden Mingling was not Kadens favorite thing to do , but as the Alpha , hed had plenty of opportunities over the years to hone his skills .
Hed become quite good at talking about nothing and pretending that he cared about what other people were talking about when it was usually a story he couldnt relate to or about something that mattered little to him .
He found that people just liked to talk Alpha Kent had been talking for several minutes without allowing Kaden to say anything , other than the occasional , Oh , yeah ? dont say ! and the like .
Now , as he finished a story about putting up a new border wall , Kaden finally had the opportunity to speak up .

There is a matter I was hoping to discuss with you , Alpha Kent Kents eyebrows raised as he stepped a little closer , clearly catching Kadens drift that this was something more important than the stories Kent had been telling .
What is it ? Clearing his throat , Kaden said , What exactly is the story with the servant girl ? Sienna ? Kent asked , his expression changing .
Gone was the cheerful , nonchalant air hed been putting on Oh , its a long story We have a few minutes before the others come down .
Kaden reminded him .
They were mouly waiting for the women who were staying in the house , though one of the other Alphus was still alisent as well .
This dinner was not as formal as the one the night before , but it was still worthy of a Well , you see , the night this girl was born , my park was raided , and sever I several people were killed , including my beloved first wife Chapter 31 te , apparently Grandma Hannah had insisted .
Kaden listened carefully , waiting for Kent to tie the attack to Sienna .
Hed stopped talking , though , so he said , Thats terrible .
It was tragic , yes .
Jenna lost her mother .
I lost my fated match .
I love Veronica , but believe me , once you have your fated match , youll understand how important that is When she died , I lost a bit of my soul , Alpha Kaden He could see in the mans eyes just how much he meant those words .
So … How does that tie into the girl , exactly ? It was her fathers fault , he explained .
He was my Beta .
He was supposed to be on patrol , but rather than guarding the border , he was with his wife as the gave birth to that girl .
Oh , I see .
He left his post without asking anyone else to take over Kaden could see why that would be upsetting to Kent , though he still didnt understand how it was Siennas fault , Well , he asked someone else to cover for him , but clearly that person was incompetent .
So … I banished him from the pack and took that girl and made her a servant , eventually , Once she could walk .
Shars a silly , pathetic thing , as Im sure youve seen .
But Jenna gets vengeance every day for the death of her mother , and I get to make sure that my terrible Betas life is destroyed too .
Kaden took a sip out of the glass he was holding , thinking about how to respond to that .
He didnt want to offend Kent , but it seemed like his logic was foiled .
Dont you think it would be easier to move on without the constant reminder of what happened ? No , he said quickly .
Ill never forget my wife anyway True Kaden took a deep breath and flew it out .
Well , if you ever decide you are tired of having her around , my grandmother has taken a liking to her .
Im sure shed love to have her come work for us , and wed be willing to compensate you for her .
He hated the idea of paying someone for his own fated match, especially since he knew Sienna could never come to their house and be their servant, but he was pretty sure Kent wasnt going to take him up on the offer , and his grandmother had insisted he ask .
Thank you for the offer , but no thank you , Kent said , backing away , clearly uncomfortable .
I think Ill go check on the ladies .
Alright , Kaden said .
See you at dinner .
He watched Kent walk grandmother soon , he was going to be needing a lot more drinks , even if they had very little effect on shifters .
away and finished his drink .
If he didnt sort out the situation with Sienna and his Not long after , Jenna came down the stairs ahead of her parents , looking lovely , but Kaden found himself looking past the Burks .
When it was clear that it was only the three of them coming down the stairs , Kaden wasnt sure if he should be relieved or disappointed .
He wanted to see Sienna but knew it was for the best if she wasnt here .
Hed be better off if he never saw Sienna again .
