SOPHIA'S POV We finally reached the Silver Stone Pack. The driver sadly looked at me but I ignored him. "Are you sure you really want to do this, ma'am?" He asked.I rolled my eyes. "Trying to talk me out of my decision now?" I questioned angrily."No, I was just...""Oh please, save your breath. I don't need your concern. And besides, try not to tell Raven about this or you'll be dying soon after he learns I was here."I won't doubt the fact that I felt a bit terrified and nervous at the same time. But I was so determined to meet Alpha Rick, I needed his help so urgently, I wouldn't sit back and watch Olivia steal him away from me.The guards stationed at the entrance halted me, with a dreadful look on their faces, they questioned. "Where do you think you're going?"Masking my fears, I confidently spoke. "I'm here to meet the Alpha King.""For what reason if we may ask?" One of them questioned."Whatever reason I am here for is meant for your Alpha King and him alone. Now, can you l
SOPHIA'S POV"Seriously?" The young lady yelled at Rick as soon as both of us walked in. "You're bringing in another woman to share our bed with?""Well, as you can see, that's exactly what I'm doing right now.""Why, Rick, why do you prefer to watch me hurt?" Tears formed in her eyes. "Olivia, now her? And here I was thinking you've changed, only to realize nothing about you has changed a bit.""I never said I have changed, neither did I ever think of changing. You left me, remember?""Left?" She scoffed. "I wouldn't have left if you hadn't sent me out. You were becoming so stupid and lost all because of her, and now you're trying to put the blame on me? To cover up your sin and make me look like the bad guy?" I could feel her pain while she said that."Besides, it's not like I'm taking her forever, it's just for tonight and she'll be leaving back to her home." He said, like it was easy to hear.I understood her pain, that was just exactly how I felt when Raven brought Olivia to our
SOPHIA'S POVI knew he had something in mind to say, but refused to talk. I wasn't even ready to listen to whatever it was, and I wasn't open to any conversation right now.Everything that happened last night between Rick and I felt fantastic. It's really been long since I felt someone touched me so sweetly, making me want more. And when he gave it to me, I wished for it to last long, but I knew I could never have it for as long as his girlfriend was concerned and as long as our deal was concerned.I smiled, recalling how he called me "Princess," and how sweet they sounded to my ears. At that moment, I thought I was his woman, I thought I was the one after his heart.It's crazy, right? I know, you don't have to tell me."Are we heading back to..." I knew what he was going to ask, so I didn't let him finish his statement."Take me to a motel, we're lodging in the Silver Stone Pack for three days and this is only day two.""Ma'am, this is a risk you are taking and Alpha Raven won't be p
SOPHIA'S POVDays passed and I couldn't help but feel even more grieved that Raven and Olivia were getting along every blessed minute.The way they hung around together made me wonder if I even existed. My instincts were right when I suspected Raven's concern for me when I left the pack house was nothing but fake.He had only done that to make me feel less worried and hopeful that somehow, he still loves me. Sadly, what I am seeing is the pure opposite of what I actually expected.Worse, I couldn't even get myself to neglect any of that. And what even hurt me the most was when she initiated a kiss. Like... Raven is my mate and husband! Regardless, finding out he is your chance mate doesn't make you any better. Doesn't mean she can kiss him however and whenever she likes.I couldn't hold back the anger in me when I saw them from my window, talking and laughing at each other. This was what Raven and I used to do.It would be a lot better if we never talked but then, he had no one to ma
OLIVIA'S POVI turned only to find myself alone in the bed, Raven had woken up earlier than usual. Then I began to hear the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, leaving me to wonder where he was going at such an hour in the morning.We never discussed him going anywhere, or did it come so sudden that he had to leave this early?I couldn't get myself to sleep, so I waited for him to finish bathing so I could ask him where he was going.He opened the door, stepping out a towel tied around his waist, leaving his chest bared. "You're awake?"I almost fell into his sweet temptation, but I refrained myself from looking too long. He noticed my body movement, and a smile crept on his face."Are you sure you really wanna look anywhere else but not me?" Why would he even ask me that when it's obviously clear that he was turning me on."You know, it would be unfair of you to ask me a question while staring at your fingers." His voice sounded a bit closer this time, so I raised my gaze to se
OLIVIA'S POVMy eyes widened upon seeing Rick. He was here to take me? No! No way!I looked at Sophia with evil eyes, "You bloody betrayal, how could you do such a thing to Raven?"She shook her head. "I wasn't doing it to Raven, I was doing it to you.""Raven must hear of this.""Of course, he has already. But sadly, before he would make it here, you'd probably be gone and dead. So, there's definitely no need to worry." She smiled.I looked down at Rick, but he was no longer there, he had made his way into the pack house.I hated myself for not being a strong wolf. How on earth can I save the pack with such weak strength? I can't even save myself to begin with.Since I couldn't save myself nor anyone, I tried to mind-link to Raven since that was the only thing I could do. Sadly, I couldn't reach him, he was so far from my reach."He'll definitely make it here, and when he does, you'll be dead by all means." I cursed."Save your breath, those threats don't work on me." She seemed less
RAVEN'S POVAll I could feel inside of me was nothing but anger and hatred. I was finally staring at my long time rival, and today seems to be no escape for either of us. We'll end things today or never. And it's either I die, or he dies."Well, I'm ready to prove them wrong." I could hear my wolf growl inside of me. The smirk on his face widened as he stared at me fearlessly. "We'll see about that.”As much as I was ready to end his life, my wolf was very much ready to tear him off into pieces.I dashed to him, grabbing him by his collar and in a blink, we were in the woods, somewhere far from the pack house.8 knew this fight was a dangerous one, and having it in the pack house wouldn't endanger a lot of things. I just want to face him without having to think of anything or anyone, but just him on the ground, bleeding in the pool of his own blood."You..." He was going to talk, but I threw a punch on his face, instantly seizing the words in his mouth."I'll end your life right her
OLIVIA'S POV"But why haven't you healed if you have more powers in you?""Because... I wanna taste what it's like to feel pain."I still don't get why he would want to punish himself for no reason when he could probably heal in a second. As soon as we stepped in, he demanded for Sophia. But the guards all said she was gone. Raven looked furious at their reply."Search everywhere, including the pack border. She won't be far." He commanded and there was an immediate search."What are you going to do to her when they find her?" I asked."I'll have to end this, and so what I couldn't do months ago."I couldn't decipher what he meant by those words, but from my understanding, it meant two things. Either he was going to kill her, or put her in a condition like Rick.I decided to ask, to clear my confusion. "You want to kill her?""Keeping her alive would only cause more harm than good. I wouldn't want to risk that." He sounded cold and determined."Isn't that going too far? Why not reject
