Ethan's Point of View I hated that I had to leave Sofia early in the morning. I was sure she would be upset that I left without waking her up and saying goodbye, but I knew she needed the extra sleep, especially after everything that had happened the day before. I still felt guilty that she was so exhausted. I should have waited to have sex with her. I honestly didn't want her to go to school but I knew there was no way she would miss a day of school, especially when she knew there was going to be a big test. The main reason I didn't want her to go to school was because of King Lestat. I had a bad feeling about him. I knew he had a thing for her and I had a feeling he would try something if he had the chance. I trusted Sofia. I knew she wanted to be with me only, but I wasn't sure King Lestat would take no for an answer. I had a feeling he would do anything to get her, even if it meant taking her against her will. I talked to my dad about all of this after King Lestat showed up at So
Ethan's Point of View“Fine, what do you want to know?” The man said“First, I would like to know your name?" My dad asked"My name is Joe," The man said "And I can see that you are one of the warriors here," My dad said "Yes, I am one of the Head Warriors," Joe said with a smile on his face. My dad turned to look at the young woman who didn't seem to be that much older than me. The little girl was sitting on her lap, and her hands wrapped around her protectively. "And what is your name," My dad said to the young woman. "Layla.""Well, hello, Layla. Is that your daughter?" My dad asked, and she shook her head, letting us know the girl wasn't her daughter. "She is my little sister," Layla said"Are your parents here?" My dad asked "No, they died almost a year ago. I am the only family she has left," Layla said. I could hear the sadness in her voice and could tell she missed her parents terribly."I am sorry to hear that, Layla," I said, and Joe rolled his eyes. "I take care of th
King Lestat's Point of ViewMs. Jones I need to speak with you really quick," I said as everyone left the class and Sofia walked over to my desk Her brother and her friend waiting by the door. "Yes, Mr. King," Sofia asked"I wanted to talk to you more about the scholarship opportunity. I know you don't want to meet with me outside of school because you know your boyfriends won't like it but I would like to talk to you about it here in class. I would like to talk to you now about it and I can give you a pass to your next class once we are finished. Your brother and friend can head to their classes now," I said, wanting to get them away. "I appreciate what you are trying to do for me but that is unnecessary, Mr. King,' Sofia said. I was getting angry and it was taking a lot of me to stay calm. "I don't understand. You are smart and I am trying to help you get into school. I know you and your mom don't have the money to pay for colleges. All I am trying to do is help you get into a co
Ethan's Point of View "This is the worst state I have ever seen a Pack in," Don said as he walked over to me. We had been walking around the Midnight Pack, speaking to the members for hours and it was getting dark. Most were too afraid to tell us what was going on in the pack. Only eleven pack members would speak about the maltreatment they had been enduring, including Layla. They wouldn't say much. All they did was say they didn't want to be there anymore and that was all we needed to hear. We told them they could come with us and that they would be safe. What upset me the most was that a lot of the women were forced to be with men who weren't their mates. "I know. I can't believe this has been going on for so long," I replied. "I can't help but feel this is my fault. I am the king, and I should have known this was happening. The werewolves are supposed to trust that they can tell me when something bad is happening, but they didn't," my dad said. I hated that he was blaming himsel
Ethan's Point of View"How dare they treat my mate like that? Who the hell do they think they are? I am going to kill everyone that has harmed my mate," Jason growled. After Layla had run away from him. Sofia ran after her, and my dad, Nick, Don, Stacie, my mom, and I were in my father's office discussing what we knew about Layla. "Jason, you need to calm down," Don said"How do you expect me to calm down when I just learned my mate was forced to be with another man?" Jason said and he punched the wall creating a hole to form. "Son, you need to calm down," Don said "Yes, Honey. You need to keep it together for your mate. She would be frightened if she saw you like that," Stacie added. "I know you are hurting, but this isn't helping the situation. The best thing we can do is find out everything that has been going on in the Midnight Pack. You need to keep it together because your mate is going to need you," I said, and Jason sighed before closing his eyes for a moment. "You are ri
Sofia's Point of ViewAs I was walking to Layla's room, I bumped into someone. "Oh, are you okay," I asked as I looked at the female I had bumped into. She looked to be around my age, but I had never seen her before. Before she could answer, another lady around Stacie's age got in my face. "Watch where you are going," the woman said. She was tall and had long blond hair with grey eyes. She also had a lot of makeup on her face and so did the female I bumped into. The one I bumped into looked to be around my age. I was sure they were related because they looked alike. I was sure the woman was her mother. "You don't have to be rude," I said angrily. This lady had no right to disrespect me."You don't know who we are, do you? If you did, you wouldn't be speaking to me like that," The older lady said"I honestly don't care who you are," I replied. The woman was about to say something, but the one I bumped into spoke first."Just ignore her mother. I will talk to Ethan about this, and I a
Sofia's Point of View"What are they doing here?" Ella asked. I could tell by her facial expression that she wasn't happy to see Elizabeth and Amy. "They came to visit," Tammie said as she walked over to where we were standing. "Be nice," Tammie whispered to Ella and I could see that Ella wanted to say more so I spoke. "Ella, why don't you come with me to see Layla?" I said"Okay," Ella said, and we walked away. "I can't believe they are here. I am sure Elizabeth brought Amy here to try and get her with Ethan," Ella said once we got into the elevator. "What do you mean? I thought they were your Aunt and Cousin?" I asked"Elizabeth, mate, Uncle Eugene was my dad's first cousin, so technically, he was Ethan and my second cousin. We called him our uncle because he was older than us, but Amy isn't their biological daughter. Elizabeth and Uncle Eugene adopted her when she was three years old," Ella said"Oh, but she was raised like she was your cousin," I said"Yeah, but she has feelin
Sofia's Point of ViewI couldn't believe how frightened Layla was. She looked like she was going to pass out in fear. She really thought I would hurt her because she ran away from Jason."Layla, you need to calm down. No one is going to hurt you, okay?" I said softly"But I ran away from your brother," Layla said"Yeah, but that doesn't mean you deserve to be punished. You have a right to make your own decisions," I said with a smile, and Layla seemed to calm down a little. "I will tell you that Jason is a good man. He will treat you right," I said"But he has Alpha Blood in his system," Layla said"So," I replied"They can do whatever they want. All of the high-ranked werewolves get what they want," Layla said"Not all High Rank werewolves are like that, Layla. My dad is the Alpha King and he would never harm my mom or anyone else. He would never make a woman do anything they don't want to do, and he is the highest ranked werewolf," Ella said"In the Midnight Pack, all the High Rank
