Sophia's POV "Oh my baby, You're back alive?" The mother exclaimed as she carried him out from the casket."Thank you so much….. Sophia….. Thank you…. Very very much. I appreciate and I owe you one" The woman appreciated me."I'm not the one that did it, ma'am, It's the divinity that brought him back to you" "Altogether, I'm grateful. It wouldn't have happened without you. I'm also sorry for doubting you earlier on" She replied, bowing in respect.We stayed with them for a little while after which we started coming back.Suddenly a figure appeared on our way back to the Pack. It was a ghostly-like figure and it's often known and called Banshee. "Omg, Sophia, this is a bad omen. Banshee only appears to warn one concerning a death that is about to happen" Bradley whispered into my ears.I lifted my gown and held her hands for us to make a run for it, but then the Banshee spoke up."You stopped a death of mine from occurring, and I'm after you for it" It declared.Fear gripped me as I
Alpha Leo's POV I was scolding Sophia concerning not being able to control her powers from aa if I was able to control mine from the start.I was just like her on that day I had brought forth fire on Sarah. I was even asking my subordinates how to get rid of a fire I started.It was a slap to my face, and from that moment on, I have allocated time and days to train myself on that aspect.I was just too selfish not to recognise that Sophia needed it too, not until her encounter with the Banshee.Just as I have promised her, I will make sure of it."Get me by tomorrow morning, a powerful and talented master for Sophia" I instructed Ben as I got back to my chambers that night."May I ask what his majesty needs that for?" Ben asked, of course, he had the right to question me. He is not just my right-armed man but also a friend of mine "I want the master to train Sophia on how to control her abilities. She's currently under a threat by some spirit because of it" I answered as Ben nodded
Alpha Leo."Omg! That was close!" Sophia exclaimed as we got back home."It sure was." I concurred with her."God, I wonder what would have happened if you weren't there. How did you even come about that strategy?" She asked, still panting.I moved closer to her and touched her hair."Let's go in. You're yet to catch your breath" I said, taking her hands.I led her till she got into her chamber and I retired to mine.** **** ***It's been two days now since Beta Marcus had been in the dungeon and I decided to meet him today."I'm glad you're finally here, Alpha Leo." He greeted me as I approached him."I'm sorry for keeping you waiting" I responded."Very well then, you should kill me now. I'm tired of being here" He demanded."I'll be giving you an easy death if I do so" I answered, expressionlessly."Seriously, Alpha Leo, You know you can't do this to me" He pleaded but my expression remained unchanged."What exactly do you take me for, Beta Marcus? I knew all along about your schem
Alpha Leo's POV What did you just say? Did she collapse? This can't be true!" I lamented as I quickly increase my pace."What happened to her?" I asked the doctor who was attending to her."I'm finding it hard to decipher. It could be a spiritual problem" The doctor replied, making me run weird."Hey doctor, you should do something about this! You gotta treat her. What do you mean by "it's a spiritual problem?" I asked, shouting t the top of my voice."You have to calm down, Alpha Leo," Ben said as he held my shoulder."No, no Ben, don't tell me that!" I retorted.I walked up to Sophia laying on the bed, and held her hands."Please Sophia, don't do this to me! You have to wake up, please wake up and talk to me" I pleaded to her."Let me cook some herbs for her. Hopefully, it might help" The Doctor said as she left her room.Throughout that night, I stayed by her side and guarded her till morning.I was cleaning her feet with a wet towel when I heard her voice."Alpha Leo….." She call
Sophia's POV I observed with attention as Alpha Leo went into a deep sleep to get a solution for me and the Banshee spirit.He was probably talking to the ancient spirits in their realm since that was one of his abilities the one Bradley had told me in the beginningHe was taking too long, and I feared he might journey to eternity from there so I decided to wake him up."Wake up Leo, Alpha Leo Wake up! You don't have to kill yourself trying to find a solution for me" I said, shaking him.Within a second, he was back in the living realm, and he glanced at me."Did anything happen to you over here? Why did you suddenly wake me up?" He asked."Nothing happened to me. I was just afraid I won't be able to see you anymore" "Oh my, Just when I was about to know if they had another solution" He replied, frowning."Another solution? That means you got one already?" I asked and he nodded his head in agreement."What was it? Why aren't you telling me?" I asked, touching his shoulders."Could i
Sophia's POV "Now you've known what you're after. I will give you the whole day to think about it after which, I'm arranging a meeting with the Banshee so we can execute the plan" Alpha Leo declared."I thought you were after another solution? Why are you suddenly settling with this one?" I asked, unable to understand the reason for his change of heart."You will do this one! It's my punishment for you. I hope you trade with caution next time, "he answered."This is your first time to punish me, I will have to take it in good faith" I replied, placing his hands back on my shoulder."At least treat my wound before you go," I said to him,"Why should I do that? I didn't cause it to you and neither am I a doctor?" He replied, raising to his feet.I dragged him back, brushing my lips against his immediately.He struggled to free himself, but I didn't allow it and continued kissing him aggressively."Hey, stop this already. We have to tend to your injury first. You might die from bleeding
Bradley's POV "It means you're to be my spouse Just like Sophia and Alpha Leo are" I answered.He burst into laughter at my answer and took large strides away from me."I'm not an animal like you and Sophia, and so can't have anything to do with you" He declared as he walked away.I couldn't contain my anger. My body wanted him as much as my soul did.I had given up on my first mate, and for this one, I won't repeat the same thing."Hey Kelvin, shouldn't you hear me out? Don't you have any feelings for me at all?" I asked, rushing up to him."The feeling I have for you is that of pity and nothing more" He replied."That's not true. You are only suppressing it. There is something we call a mate bond. It should draw you naturally to me" I answered."Oh my Gosh! Mate what? Was that why Sophia left me for that stupid Alpha Leo?" He asked, a smirk on his face."Alpha Leo is not stupid. It's no one's fault what happened" I retorted."Did you just defend them? I was going to give you a chan
Sophia's POV "Now that you have completely passed all your training, I think we can start making arrangements for the mating ceremony" My teacher said to me after the day's training.I was all over the moon, "Okay ma'am, I'm very happy to hear that" I answered."I know you would. You've probably been anticipating your mating with him, and we are not going to waste time any longer" She answered."So ma'am, has the date been fixed?" I could help asking."We just have two more things to do after which we will announce the date, so wait and keep your ears out to hear us' ' She replied and I nodded in response."Alright then, I will be taking my leave" I said, bowing.I hadn't taken two steps outside the training ground when my eyes caught hold of Bradley."Hey Bradley, how long have you been waiting?" I asked, walking up to her."Not too long, How was the training?" She asked, holding my hands."It was fine. Is something the matter? It's unlike you to be here" I probed."Gosh, are you
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
