Sophia's POV At that moment, my chest felt tightened, and my leg started wobbling."What did you just say, Bradley? Why can't I and Alpha Leo be joined together?" I asked, looking straight up at her.I must say, she looked like a different person, one that was never a friend."You know the answer to your question, or don't you?" She asked, seizing me up."Gosh, Bradley what has gotten over you? I thought we were good?" I asked."I'm sorry Sophia, but things don't always happen as planned. You are not going further with Alpha Leo, and my mission is to make sure of that!" She declared, turning her back to me."If you're doing this to hurt Sophia, I will advise you to quit already!" Alpha Leo warned her but instead, she burst into laughter."Oh my great Alpha, You must be delusional to think I will be threatened by your warning. Warn me if you manage to secure the pack after now" She answered, a smirk on her face."Young lady, I'm aware you know the punishment given to one who commits t
Bradley's POV "For your claim, do you have any way to prove it?" One of the Elders stood up and asked me."Yes, or else, why would I bother coming up here?" I asked back."You're being rude, young lady. Speak politely" cautioned Ben.I turned around to look at him, and for a few seconds, I made sure to downgrade him with my look."While I speak politely, you should also learn to mind your business" I answered.He shook his head and unshielded his sword."Just give me an order, Alpha Leo, and I will slit her throat!" He demanded from Alpha Leo while directing his anger at me.I scoffed at his outburst "That won't be necessary, Ben. Let her go ahead!" Alpha Leo replied.That evening when my mum told me about the mating ceremony today, I went on the lookout for evidence.If I wanted to bring Sophia and Alpha Leo down, I had to have enough evidence to back myself up.And as luck would have it, I met someone who was as determined as I was to bring the both of them down.It was none other
Alpha Leo's POV "Hey, Sophia, Stop that already!" I commanded Sophia as soon as I saw her clinging to Bradley and acting all pity party."Your love says you should quit the act!" Bradley jeered at her as she frees herself from her grip."Have you completely lost your human sympathy, Sophia? What turned you into this? What did I do to deserve this?" Sophia questioned."Hey dear, stop making it sound like it's my fault. Didn't you know that mating before its time is prohibited?" Bradley probed, giving her a taunting look."I did a good thing not to hide the truth in the name of our friendship so stop making it look like I'm the bad person, please" She added."See you around….. you can resent me all you want" She stated finally before leaving.For a long time after she left, Sophia's hands were hanging in the air, and dazed.I couldn't bear seeing her that way any longer and moved towards her."Snap out of it, Sophia. The earlier you accept her betrayal, the better for you" I nudged."I
Bradley's POV "Sit back down, Bradley. I'm beginning to see that you're not after the truth as you stated but after me and Alpha Leo. I would love to know the reason, though" Sophia interrupted me before I could finish speaking."Oh my gosh, what are you saying, our future Luna? Oh….my bad! What did I just call you now? I'm only doing what I should, okay?" I asked, laughing."Council of Elders, shouldn't you investigate the motive of the one who had revealed all this to you people? she might be after her selfish interest" Alpha Leo chipped in.These two…. They were not an easy fry.When Sophia's words made the council pause, and start reflecting, I couldn't take it. There was no way I would come this far to fail. That was why I had blurted in.The council of Elders quickly turned over to look at me."I'm sorry, Bradley but we have to ask. Is there a selfish interest attached to it?" "There is none, my elders. I don't believe you all are already being swayed by them. With me aside, w
Sophia's POV "Hey dear, I want to visit my mum. It's been a long time" I announced to my maid."That would be good, but you know you're not allowed to leave the pack for now" She answered."I do, which is why I would be needing your coverage. I just have to sneak out. No one would know I'm not here anymore" I answered.Although I will be going to visit my mum, the main aim behind my going out was to find a way out for Alpha Leo and me."That won't be easy ma'am, I just hope you aren't demanded" my maid replied, as she went over to the wardrobe and retrieved a dress for me."You should put this on, you won't be recognized that easily on it, I will go and distract the guards outside, and then you can escape from the window" She added.Nodding in acknowledgement, I quickly put on the overflowing gown she brought and waited."Excuse me, guards, Would you love to share a bottle of wine with us?" I could hear her ask the guards and I was sure their attention was on her now.So without fur
Alpha Leo's POV "So, were you able to succeed? Is there a chance for us?" I asked Ben who had just come in."Yes, Alpha Leo, I was able to get a few people that can help and I'm confident we would stand a chance" He answered."Alright, I'm glad to hear that. How then do we go about it?" I asked."According to the female Alpha of the dawn moon pack, she agreed to speak for us concerning the problem that arose when they were still practicing the law" "Then Alpha Karl and Beta Mike promised to speak on our behalf on the advantages of letting an Alpha bond with his mate before the mating ceremony which is just like the wedding day, and a zeal" He related.When I had Ben go seek help from the neighbouring packs in my place since I wasn't allowed to leave the pack, I never expected he would make that much progress so I was very happy."Thank you so much, Ben. I'm going to get you a wife once I get back my position as an appreciation" I said, jokingly."Gosh, Alpha Leo, how could you say t
Alpha Leo's POV As I asked, everyone immediately turned to look at her and she felt awkward."I don't know what you mean, Alpha Leo. I only know that Sarah is out to get her and since she went off by herself, they may have met" She replied."Which Sarah is that? Is it the one I know?" I asked, my heart throbbing."Oh yes, you should run along already" She answered, waving me off.At that point, I felt like my world was about to crumble, and without a moment of thought, I quickly shifted into my wolf and ran as fast as I could.I forgot to say, I don't shift twice a week anymore, but anytime I want. I was granted a steady human form after I mated with Sophia that night, just as the seer had said. The rumours about me were long gone too.I had presented myself to the pack in human form and cleared their suspicions."Wait, Alpha Leo, you don't even know where or how to find her," Ben protested as he caught up with me."What are you suggesting I do? I can't possibly fold my hands and do
Sophia's POV After hearing Kelvin's response that evening, It dawned on me that I had no escape route."Here, take this," Bradley said to me, next, handing over a cup of water to me."Thanks, but I'm not thirsty," I politely rejected it."Like you have a choice? Drink it while we're still asking nicely" Sarah chipped in.I still refused to take the drink, leading to a scuffle between me and them and they eventually overpowered me.Immediately the water entered my mouth, down to my system, Weakness overpowered me, and I couldn't feel my body again. I went into a deep sleep.The next day, I awoke to Kelvin's phone camera facing me. It was a video. They were speaking with Alpha Leo, probably threatening him with me."Please Kelvin, don't allow Sarah to hurt him. I promise to do anything you want… so please…" I pleaded, tears welling up my eyes."I can't believe you're bothered about him instead of thinking about yourself. He is in danger because of you, and if you truly want to save hi
Sophia's POV Shortly after I became the Alpha of the Pack and my husband, Leo went into retirement, news of the mysterious disappearance of members of the pack reached me, and I had to do something before it was too late.So I gathered the council members and Elders for a meeting, alongside Ben."So for those who have disappeared, have any of you been able to uncover how they had disappeared? Like, what they were doing at that time, or anything at all that could be used to find out how the disappearance is going on" I probed."For now, my Alpha, we are still searching and sorting for any lead concerning that" one of them responded."But my Alpha, from the small investigation that I had done, I discovered that the disappearance is channelled towards the young ladies in the pack" Ben spoke up."If so, we should make a list of all the young maidens in our pack and if possible, gather them together in the one place to stay as of today" I suggested."That is a nice one, Alpha Sophia, and
Alpha Leo's POV After mating with Sophia that day, and next during the full moon, she took in and gave birth to a son nine months later.By that time, the pack members had started to talk, and I was becoming weaker to lead the pack.“We can't let Alpha Leo continue to lead us. We should appoint someone else who is strong and fit to do the job”. “Alpha Leo now has an heir, who should be the one to take after him, so we can't do that. We can only wait for the child to come of age”. “And how do you expect us to just sit and wait? What will become of us while we wait for our child to come of age? We might even die in the process”. “Still, this is not right. We will be committing treason if we take laws into our hands. Let's allow Alpha Beck and the council to decide for themselves”.Those were the conversations that kept on going in the pack each day, they were tired of having a crippled and sick Alpha like meEven the neighbouring and rival packs were beginning to talk about me, so I
Alpha Leo's POV "Didn't you notice it yourself? How are we to mate now, with you like that?" Sophia's question got me, and I felt so embarrassed by myself.It wasn't that I didn't notice that something was wrong with my little man, I just didn't want to believe it and waited till Sophia had confirmed it, but it truly was happening. What is this? Have I also become impotent? I hated everything that has been happening to me, with this now added to it, my life no longer has meaning, and it is better to be dead."Hey, Alpha Leo. I hope you aren't having bad thoughts in your mind concerning this, are you?" Sophia asked when she noticed how still I was without talking."No, I'm not" I lied as she immediately wrapped her body with a wrapper, and came to lay beside me on the bed, crossing her hands over my chest, and staring deeply at me."Please don't be. There is no reason to beat yourself up about the recent occurrence. For now let's sleep, and figure out what to do about it tomorrow." S
Sophia's POV Two days after the incident, I was helping Alpha Leo to the bathroom to take his bath. He is currently moving around with a wheelchair that the Doctor had recommended for him.We were planning to go see a seer concerning his crippled-ness and check if there was something he could do to regain his leg. After he finished his bath, we were on our way to the place, with Ben and two other guards accompanying us."Did you get the address of the place, right?" Alpha Leo asked Ben when we reached the seer's place, but couldn't find anyone there."Yes, I'm sure. This is the place!" He answered."Here, hold the wheelchair. Let me go inside and check" I requested from Ben who immediately came up to hold the chair, as I went in to check the place out.While looking around, I discovered a hidden area in the place and rushed back to call them as we proceeded together to the secret area."My children, you are here?" The voice of the seer, who is a middle-aged woman, rang out as she ap
Sophia's POV While we were still on, and talking about the incident, a guard rushed in, with sweats in his body.“What is it?” I asked him.“There is this lady outside, seeking for you. She keeps going on about making a Confession to you” He related as I quickly ran outside with the others following behind me.“Finally, you are here! Let me go on with my Confession” The lady spoke.It was Clara, the girl who I had taken in as my maid. What in the world would she be confessing to me about? There were particles of blood scattered on her clothes, and her hands were covered with a larger quantity of blood as she had been in contact with one.“I was looking all around for you, Clara. Where did you go? And while are you covered in blood?” I probed.“Because I killed someone. At least I didn't fail to do that this time, just like I did with your husband, Alpha Leo” She replied, and I couldn't believe my ears.“Wait, you are the one that poisoned my Alpha Leo?” I asked, etching forward to h
Sophia's POV After we heard the news of Alpha Leo waking up, I immediately rushed into his room in the company of Aaron and a few others."Alpha Leo, Alpha Leo" I called him upon arrival."I'm right before you, Sophia, you didn't have to call me that much and loud" He cautioned me in response, our eyes locking with each other as a warm smile crept into our faces."Oh my gosh, Alpha Leo, it's you!" I exclaimed, jumping on top of his body, and planting kisses on him."Jeez, My Luna, you didn't have to do that in front of us… many people are watching…" "Oh, shut it, Ben! Shut it, Ben!" I shut him up as he went dead silent."Do you know what his waking up means to me? How long have I waited for this miracle, and yet you want me to stay calm after seeing it? No, not at all! Screw anyone that is watching me right now if he or she can't understand how I'm feeling" I scolded him, now facing Alpha Leo."Awwn, my Darling, thank you so much, my darling Leo, for waking up" I continued to sing h
Bradley's POV Seeing that my plan had once again failed, I couldn't get myself to stay back there, and staggered out of the pack, with the luggage I came with.Kelvin was standing in front of their house when I got there, his two hands in his pocket, with his headphones plugged into his ears."Kelvin! Kelvin!" I called out to him, but when he didn't answer, I had to tap him."Why are you here? Are you done with the stuff? Is Alpha Leo now dead?" He bombarded me with one question after the other, his brows furrowed."Can't you at least hug and welcome me back home, before asking questions?" I probed."Keep dreaming. Tell me already, did you succeed?" He asked."Of course, I did. It's your turn to fulfil your part of the deal. Please like me back, Kelvin" I pleaded, tearing up."That won't work on me, Bradley, I must first confirm that Alpha Leo is dead" He replied, as I forced a tight smile, masking the anger that had started building inside of me."You are free to do that, Kelvin, bu
Sophia's POV I was so surprised after reading the letter. Princess Emma has beat me hands down. I felt crippled. I was both conflicted and relieved."We have gotten a Donor, Doctor. I think we can proceed with the transplant now" I announced."Really?" The doctor asked, sighing in relief."Yes, Doctor," I answered."Who is the Donor, Sophia?" Alpha Leo asked me, and there was no way I could tell him it was her sister. He won't do the surgery if I tell him that."It's a prisoner. He had gone through your sister to deliver the message" I lied."A prisoner, and not my sister herself?" He inquired, as if knowing that I was lying but I refused to let him have the upper hand."Yes, Alpha Leo. Why would I lie to you? " I confidently asked as he retreated into silence."We will perform the surgery by tomorrow morning. For now, he needs to rest, and be ready for it" The Doctor announced, doing another check on him, before leaving the room.I followed him shortly after, "Please Doctor, you can'
Sophia's POV It's been an hour plus since Alpha Leo took the poison's Antidote and was still lying unconscious on the bed.I sat beside him, not even moving an inch and with tears rolling down my eyes."Please, Alpha Leo, don't do this to me! You can't die and leave me. I won't let you do that to me" I cried, my hands holding his."For the love we share, and for me and the pack, You have to continue living. You can't leave us behind!" I continued, shaking profusely in tears.I just couldn't think of a life without him. He was my life and even when I desperately wanted to die, he was the one who held onto me. We've come a long way to go."My Luna, you have to stop crying. Your eyes are all puffy now and I'm afraid you might break down." One of the elderly women who served me pleaded."Please allow me to cry. It's the least I can do right now since I failed to protect him" I replied, my cry intensifying."No, Don't say that, My Luna. I'm certain Alpha Leo wouldn't want to hear that fro
