MAGNUS POV

No matter how much I tried, I just couldn't quell my conflicted emotions. Not only did I lose Sophie, I had just discovered that my own mother could potentially be the real mastermind of this, not even Sinclair. It couldn't be helped, my rage was justified, and so was my hate. I wasn't the type to act rashly, but right at this moment, putting a kill order on my mother's name was probably the kindest thing I could do for her at this point in time.

It could have been a death on sight order, but I wanted to give her a chance to explain herself. I believed everybody had a story to tell regardless, and depending on her explanations, I will decide whether or not to do away with her. But for now, finding Sophie and bringing her back to safety was my biggest concern.

"Employ all the soldiers you can! Find her!" I screamed at Luke . Though we had all been outsmarted, the fact that they had been waylaid without overpowering the kidnappers still stung me. There was no need guarding

    SOPHIE POVThe soles of my feet hurt badly more than ever but I persisted in running. I'd been running since night, and now it was well beyond noon, yet I failed to stop running. I had no idea if the Lycans had now woken up and were chasing after me, the queen's last orders were for me to run, and until I felt the need to stop, I was going to keep running.I paused momentarily the instant a familiar structure came to sight, and I immediately felt like giving up on life. Throughout the night I've been going round in circles, and I was yet to realize till this very moment. How many times have I passed through the doors of the enemy?I immediately raced behind the protection of a tree to keep myself hidden from the eyes of the two men that had just exited my former cage. I couldn't recognise them, they weren't a part of Sinclair's group, but I knew better than to just throw myself out for them to see. Even though they looked a bit familiar, I remained hidden behind the tree waiting for

    SOPHIE POVI woke up with a start to find myself holding Magnus closely. I had just had a terrible nightmare. I had seen Kal fang chasing me, he had been about to cut me down with his claws when I had woken up. I snuggled more against Magnus body. He had clearly missed me which was evident by how passionate he was the previous night. Judging from his eyes, it also seemed like he hadn't been sleeping well these past days.It was the early hours of the morning and the cold was biting. I threw on the warm covers once more and went into a light sleep.I woke you to someone nuzzling my nose. Magnus tickled my stomach when he saw that I had opened my eyes. I remembered what Sinclair had told him when we were at the tradeoff. He has talked about how Magnus was weak and soft compared to other Lycan kings that he knew. It made me appreciate what I had more and see Magnus in an entirely new light. I had thought him so callous. Frightening to think that they were others worse than him."Good mo

    I found Luke as usual in his office. He looked up in surprise as I came in with the baby and immediately reached out to embrace the both of us."Welcome home once again, Sophie" He said, as he hugged us. He smelled good and the hug was warm so we both lingered in it for a while. Bryce made a squeal which disrupted the moment and we pulled apart."So how are you holding up," He said, returning back to his seat."Quite good, just a few nightmares but who doesn't have those these days. I can't complain," I said with a shrug."I miss you," He said, looking at me intently and I knew he really did."I missed you all," I said guardedly, careful of where the conversation was going. After everything, Luke was still Luke and I had once had something for him."So what did you notice while you were with Sinclair? I couldn't believe it when Magnus told me that he was responsible for everything that had happened," He said, shaking his fist. Apparently, the subject was an annoying one for him to han

    SOPHIE POVNo matter how much I tried to convince myself that it might be a hallucination, my instincts insisted that I had actually caught sight of the queen. It made me wonder, what was she doing there? Could it be that she had come to spy on me? Was she working with the enemies again? Or had she come to check up on me? My mind was troubled, the possibilities surrounding her appearance were many, and I hoped none of them were connected to working with the enemy. I've done my best to convince Magnus that she wasn't a traitor, he had promised to tone down her punishment a little. If she was working with the enemy again, then there was no redemption for her this time around. I moved on from the possibilities of the queen being a traitor and focused on the possibility that she might have had people with her. And what if they had spotted me? There was no way I was going to let myself get kidnapped a second time, being sold to Kal Fang was not something I desired. I reached home and Ma

    SOPHIE POV"Tell me about Magnus. What does he like? In summary, just tell me everything I need to know about him since you've been here for long." I demanded from Eirik as we strolled through the cold forest. He fell silent for a while, and for two whole minutes I was left with my thoughts, and the soothing sounds of nocturnal animals. Eirik was in deep thought, Magnus wasn't an open man to those he didn't trust, so I figured he was trying to recall as much as he could. He always did his best to give me the best of his ability, and I respected him for that. Others might immediately give me shallow information, things that I might already be familiar with. But Eirik knew that this was very important. He was emotionally smart, I probably knew more about Magnus than he did, for me to ask him this question meant that I wanted something more than just basic information. "The king is a kind man even though he doesn't always show it. We Lycans aren't especially liked by society, since we w

    SOPHIE POVI got into the white Skoda Octavia immediately Magnus had agreed to my demands. It had taken much longer than I'd anticipated, but I finally managed to get him to change his mind. He argued that the members of the council weren't familiar with me, and I countered him by arguing that this was the perfect opportunity for me to bond with them. If they weren't familiar with me, then shouldn't I try to get to know them?After that, Magnus had finally conceded defeat and had given me what I wanted. He gave me a book containing every event that had gone down in the kingdom for the month. I was to study them closely, find the flaws in the previous month's decisions, and come up with a better way to help the kingdom. It wasn't exactly difficult, but I knew that things would change the instant I step into a room filled with proud and hateful Lycans.I swallowed hard, and calmed myself down. I already knew this wouldn't be easy, so there was no need to panic over something that was

    MAGNUS POVI paced around restless on the bed as I couldn't sleep. I thought of Sophie and longed for her closeness. I didn't see how she was still weak, especially after the energetic performance she had given earlier in the day at the council. My inner wolf too was craving her company, staying away from her these few days had been hard.I got up and made my way to her room to see her. When I got there, the room was empty. The bed didn't even appear to have been slept in. My first instinct was that she had been attacked or kidnapped but it didn't make sense. There was no way they could get to her seeing as the security measures around had been improved. I looked out of her window to see her training with someone. I got furious on seeing them. It appeared to be her guard, Eirik or so. She was indeed only training with Eirik, her personal guard, under the moonlight. But it was night and she had lied The relief came from knowing she was safe and under the watchful eye of a skilled war

    SOPHIE POVI woke up sore the next day to an empty bed. I found a note on the table by Magnus telling me to get ready for his grandfather who was coming to the kingdom to visit. His name was Alpha King Maximus . Apparently, he was Magnus mother's father and a powerful alliance. He was coming since he was shocked by the news that his daughter had teamed up with Kal fang.I hurried to change up for the day making sure I was spotless. One never knew how grandfathers could get once they were angry. My main fault as a werewolf already could trigger off his racist personality. From what I had seen, every Lycan royalty had one.I was fortunate to be down there with Magnus just as he arrived.I'm not sure of how I expected the queen's father, Alpha Maximus to look but it was certainly not this way. He was huge and looked very intimidating. I could see the resemblance between us, he had my raven hair and honey brown eyes. His beard covered a large part of his face though. He looked like he was

    SOPHIE POVI looked up with a sigh at the old decrepit building before knocking the door and I went in buoyed by a prompt from inside. I was nervous as it had taken me a long time to trace this location and now that I was here, it felt unreal. I was finally going to find out the truth. I was ushered into what I presumed to be a matron's office by a nun wearing a long gray habit. "The matron will be with you shortly. I hope you find what you came here for" She said with a wave before stepping out leaving me alone with my thoughts and the tired creaking fan above.I was trying hard to forget Magnus. There was a joint burial the previous week for them both. It wasn't still clear how they died. My guess was that they had been poisoned in their cells. Our enemies were also within the castle. Magnus' mother was right though, Kal Fang was no threat to us again, my guess was that he had been placated with Magnus' death. He might be the one behind it.With the death of the Alpha king and his

    SOPHIE POVThe next day, I found myself thinking back to what the Queen had done the previous day and how she had stood her ground against the whole council. I wasn't sure I could do that and succeed. I would be eaten alive by all of them. Whatever she had done or not done, there was no denying her influence among them.So it was that I found myself heading to her room when I was done freshening up for the day. There were more guards around her room than other places. Magnus must have given them orders to watch her closely. He had still not trusted her fully. I hesitated then knocked gently on her door. There was no reply and I knocked again. Perhaps my first attempt had been too feeble."Who is it," I heard her ask from inside."It's Luna Sophie," I answered back. There was a long pause before she replied."Come in," She said at last.She sounded surprised which I knew she would. On normal occasions, we couldn't stand each other's company. No doubt, she was wondering what I was her

    SOPHIE'S POV I was in the room, thinking about how to help King Magnus. I had called a lot of people for advice none of their suggestions worked for me. It was far too dangerous and I didn't want any harm toward my man. I breathed out loudly and lowered my head, it was frustrating and I hated the situation. This was the same man I had waited for when Luke was ruling, I had hoped he would return one day and make me happy again but to my deepest regret, I had forgotten that he might have gone through a lot and things were difficult for him too. If only I was a little wiser, I could have stopped him when he decided to call for a meeting immediately after his recovery and I could have taken care of more things before he woke up so his mind would be relaxed by the time he opened his eyes. Things wouldn't have been so difficult for him and he could have been happy now, filled with a lot of enjoyment at the moment instead of what he was going through. I felt bad toward him and I felt bad

    MAGNUS' POV Everything was becoming dimmer in my head, I was unable to process the things that were happening to me but one thing was clear and that was the fact that I was among enemies. All of them hated me, they all wanted to kill me and were only being nice because I was so quiet these days. After what Luke did to me, many others wanted to try the same thing and in the end, they might succeed just as Luke had done back then. I couldn't let my wolf take over again, it would have killed so many people then if it hadn't stopped and I hated to kill my people. The ones that needed to die were the enemies surrounding me and pretending to be sincere when they weren't. I paced around the room, thinking of how to escape the wrath of the enemies. I was weaker than I once was, the wolfsbane was still taking effect on me, making me weaker every day. Before I started my revenge, the first person I needed to kill was Luke and I would make sure to do that, then I would find the lady who betr

    SOPHIE'S POV I watched him leave abruptly from the meeting and I was bothered. "Everyone, I think it's time to leave. I will go and calm the king down and he will call on you all later." I told them before leaving the gathering too. I went straight to his room and I saw him lying in his bed. "King Magnus," I called. He rolled around in his bed and turned to look at me "What was that? Why were you siding with him when he did that to you?" He asked, his voice was calm as he sat up in his bed and looked at me. I walked closer to him and sat down beside him. "I wasn't defending him. I was just worried that you would make a mistake because of your anger. Luke already dealt with him and he is missing an arm already. Cutting off his pack would only endanger the lives of innocent people and I'm sure you don't want that either." I said to him and he was quiet for a while. "I understand. I was very angry back there when I learnt about what he did to you. I wanted to deal with him and the e

    MAGNUS' POV The celebration continued as everyone had their fill, laughed and had fun. Sophie sat down beside me, staring and smiling at me now and then. She seemingly wasn't enjoying the celebration like everyone else and it was obvious she wanted to leave as fast as possible but was only waiting for me. I wanted to leave too, it had been a while since I last saw her so being with other people paled in comparison to how much I wanted to be with her. However, it would be rude to leave the Alphas who came from different places to celebrate with me and pledge their alliances. "Lord Magnus, will you drink with me?" Jax asked, coming toward me with a bottle of wine and a cup in hand. I nodded my head "Yes. Bring that here." I said cheerfully. I wasn't happy with him but I had to keep my font clean. He walked over and placed a cup in front of me as he was about to pour the drink. I looked at the cup carefully, images of how that lady drugged me back then played in my head and I frowne

    MAGNUS' POV I groaned loudly as I touched my forehead, it was aching so bad that I found it hard to open my eyes. It felt like I had been out of it for a very long time and getting back to things was a bit difficult for me. I removed my hand from my head with my eyes still closed, trying to calm my mind so I would be able to open my eyes. It was hard at first but soon, my eyes opened only to be closed back again due to the sudden exposure to light that seemed like it was going to remove my eyes from its socket. I groaned again, wondering what had happened to me until I heard the door open and someone rushed in "King Magnus!" The person shouted. My senses were dull as it was hard to figure out who it was but the voice was so familiar that I dared not mistake it for someone else's. It was Sophie. "Sophie?" I called out loud, still unable to open my eyes. I felt her hands on my chest as she finally got to me "You're awake. I'm so glad." She mumbled. She seemed very close to me so m

    SOPHIE'S POV Seeing King Magnus again warmed my heart a great time and the thought that the whole thing was over made me over the moon. I had always imagined a scenario where I would never see him again, a scenario in which my belief of him still being alive was a total lie but when I got to the throne room and saw him standing there, it felt like a dream to me. I pinched myself several times to make sure I wasn't dreaming and when he announced a duel with Luke, I couldn't be happier even though I was scared for him too. Well... Everyone was scared as they knew how dirty and devious Luke could be. While King Magnus was purely strong, Luke could always do evil things that would make him win. "It's over... It's all over now." I couldn't help but mutter with tears in my eyes. My happiness knew no bounds, I was so happy that my heart wouldn't stop racing and what I wanted the most at the moment was to leave the crowd, go to a room and make up the times we had missed together. I was r

He was there for a few minutes and I was already thinking he had given up only to see him running toward the battleground again. He stood a few feet away from me and wiped the corner of his mouth that was already filled with blood and I could see a part of his belly, injured too. It was taking longer to heal which made me wonder what was wrong with him. "I told you, didn't I? You and I are not on the same ground, We are not on the same level. I was created to rule, ruling is what I'm made of and if I should let you hurt me here, I don't fit for that." My wolf said and in the next seconds, it appeared in front of Luke and grabbed one of his claws, breaking it. Luke growled in pain, he ran back and growled again "You are... You!" He wanted to say something but kept quiet as he could see my wolf approaching him again. The whole matter was becoming a plaything as my wolf had overpowered him complete
