Sophia

Checking my reflection in my small mirror, I tuck a few strands of hair behind my ear, which have escaped from my braid. Running my hand over my white dress, I try to smoothen it as much as I can. Honoring the Moon Goddess, all the she-wolves wear white, especially the unmated she-wolves. 

This is the only nice dress that I own that I have been wearing for the past few years on the Red Moon. But since tonight is Full Moon Ball, I decided to wear it even though it is not Red Moon because I want to look a bit presentable in front of others.

Wiping my face with the small hand towel, I once again check my reflection before I head out towards the training ground to help others prepare the ground for the Full Moon shift. 

All the unmated wolves will try to find their mates during the ball. And later, when midnight strikes, everyone would come outside and shift into their wolves and go for the run. Newly mated wolves will celebrate their unions while the other will run alongside their family and friends. 

I join a group of pack members setting up tables and chairs for the post-ball feast. Almost everyone leaves as soon as I join the table, and moves to work on the other table. I can hear their taunts directed towards me and the sound of their laughs that they are having at my expanse.

But not paying attention to their words, I keep my focus on the work at hand; the sooner I finish here, the sooner I can get back into the safety of my room.

I am not allowed to attend the Full Moon ball as per my father's order because he is embarrassed to be associated with me. Joke on him, his blood runs through my veins, even if he want he can never turn his face from this truth.

Just as I finish setting up one of the last tables, I feel a rough shove from behind. I stumble but manage to catch myself before falling.

"Watch where you're going, bitch," a voice sneers.

I turn to see Kane, one of the warriors, glaring at me with a smirk on his face.  His smirk identical to Cynthia's a strong giveaway he is her nephew. 

Not only look, but it seems like they even share the same mean streak. Maybe it is their blood.

"Sorry, Kane," I say, trying to keep my voice steady. "I didn't see you there."

"Yeah, well, maybe you should pay more attention," he snaps, stepping closer. "Or maybe you are seeking opportunities to get closer to me." His eyes move up and down my body, causing a shiver to run down my spine in disgust.

I feel a surge of anger but force myself to stay calm. 

"I am not interested in you." Keeping my face neutral, I look at him, "In fact, if anything, you disgust me."

His smirk falters, replaced by a flash of anger.

You should watch your mouth, Sophia," he snarls, grabbing my throat. "You don't get to talk to me like that."

He closes his fingers around my throat, blocking my airways. Everyone stops doing whatever they are doing and looks in our direction. 

It is becoming difficult for me to breathe, and I try to free myself by clawing his hands away from my neck.

"Let go of me, Kane." My voice comes out choked as my vision becomes blurry due to lack of oxygen.

Suddenly, a large gray wolf comes out of nowhere and attacks Kane. I hear screams of horror coming from some she-wolves, along with Cynthia's screams. 

My vision turns hazy as I feel myself losing control of my body. I begin to fall down as my eyes shut. 

Even before I could fall down, a strong pair of arms wrapped around me while holding me close. 

A strange comfort washes over me while my nose registers the most amazing and intoxicating smell I have ever smelled. 

I am trying to fight against the darkness and forcing my eyes to open, but I am failing miserably.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 117

    LucasMy eyes keep moving, catching fragments. A shadow shifts where it should not. A space feels wrong before I fully see it.The cell door is open.Anastasia is gone.Ryan turns just as she reaches him. She moves through the narrow light with sharp speed, her boot slamming straight into his chest. The impact knocks the air out of him. He stumbles back, boots scraping hard against the floor, arms jerking as he fights for balance.“I never liked you, boy.” Her mouth curves as she wipes blood from her lip with the back of her hand. “So, I gonna do worst with you than what I did with your two dummy eye mother.”Her voice cuts clean and cruel. She wants him angry. I can see it in the way she watches his hands, his shoulders, the rise of his chest. She is pushing him, testing how close he is to snapping.Now that she stands outside the cell, the light shows everything. Bruises spread across her ribs, dark and deep. One shoulder sits wrong. Her shirt is torn and stained, clinging to her sk

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 116

    LucasWhat happens next barely exists as time. It is there and gone, like light cutting across my eyes so fast my brain lags behind it.James moves.The next second his hand turn into a claw.Arthur jerks, breath ripping out of him as James’s arm drives forward. I register the sound before I register the wound, a wet, awful noise that is impossible to forget.face not as fear but as disbelief. Like he never truly imagined this ending with a blade in his body.Aurora moves before I do.Her hand tears free from my grip, skin scraping skin, and she shoves Arthur hard to the side. I hear his boots slide across stone. The timing is cruel and perfect at the same time. James’s claws miss Arthur by inches and sink into Aurora instead.She gasps, a sharp sound that punches straight through my chest.Blood blooms fast against her side, dark and spreading, and for a split second my mind refuses to accept it. Aurora is supposed to be untouched... unhurt. She is the one constant my thoughts always

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 115

    LucasArthur is the missing block from the puzzle. I feel it in the way my mind fits pieces together when the picture finally makes sense. Not a big dramatic moment, not a flash of lightning, just that quiet click in the back of my skull where everything rearranges itself and suddenly I can see the shape of the whole thing.I watch him in the same way I watch everything else. His posture. The way he stands with the calm confidence of a man who believes he has already won. The way his eyes do not widen at all when he sees Anastasia.The person working with Anastasia to take down the rebels is no one else but Arthur himself.It was his name that Anastasia refused to give because there was a pact between them.I think about the day he came to pick Aurora up at our pack. The way he looked at Anastasia like she was just another person in the room. No surprise. No recognition. No hesitation. A man who does not react because he already knows.And now I understand why.Arthur is the head of t

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 114

    LucasMy eyes stay on Anastasia.Not her hands. Not the chain. Her eyes.People forget how loud eyes are. They think silence lives in mouths, but it doesn’t. It lives in what people do when they think no one is watching. Anastasia’s gaze flicks left. Then right. Then back again. Small movement. Almost lazy. Something you’d miss if you don't know what to look for.That pattern lands in my head and clicks into place like it’s always been there.A signal.She doesn't want Helena or Ryan to know that she is our family.My hand moves before Aurora’s voice does. I catch her fingers mid-motion and hold them. No squeeze. No warning. Just contact. Stop. Her breath stutters through the bond, sharp and bright, like touching cold metal by accident. Shock, yes. Confusion too. But she doesn’t pull away. She never does. She trusts that if I stop her, it’s because something matters more than words right now.I feel her mind shift. Questioning turns into listening. She’s smart like that.I don’t look

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 113

    LucasThe moment my feet hit the bottom step, my brain switches modes.Not panic. Not fear. Assessment.Places like this announce themselves, but they also lie. The trick is knowing which parts are real and which parts are trying to distract you. I take in the smell first because scent never lies. Old blood. Not fresh. Not recent. Dried long enough to turn sharp and sour, like metal left out in the rain. Rot layered on top of it, the kind that sinks into stone and never quite leaves. That tells me two things. This place has not been used in a long time. And when it was used, it was used thoroughly.Good to know.The hallway stretches ahead, narrow enough to funnel movement, wide enough to walk two abreast if you had to. Cells on both sides. Iron bars, thick, heavy, built to last. Some bent slightly inward, which tells me people pulled on them from the inside. A lot. That detail sticks. You do not bend iron unless desperation is involved.My mind pulls threads without me asking it to.

  • Blind Alpha And His Unwanted Mate   Chapter 112

    LucasWe sit around a small dining table in the kitchen, close enough that our knees almost touch when someone shifts. The room smells like herbs and heat and something familiar I cannot name, the kind of smell that settles into clothes and memory without asking permission. A large bowl of soup sits in the center, steam curling upward in lazy spirals. It looks simple. Everything here looks simple. That alone makes me uneasy.Ryan’s mother moves around the kitchen like she has lived in this exact rhythm forever. No hesitation. No searching hands. If you ignore the blankness in her eyes, the way her gaze never quite lands, you would never guess she cannot see. She reaches for bowls stacked neatly to her left, fingers brushing the rim of the top one like a quiet check. Five bowls. She does not count out loud. She does not pause.I watch her hands more than her face. The way she grips the ladle. The angle she tips it at. She pours soup into each bowl without spilling a drop, adjusting the
