Sofia's Point of View
It was four fifty, and I was waiting for Ella to come and pick me up. I told her to call me once she got here, and I would come outside to meet her. I barely got any sleep because of how cold it had been the night before, and I kept waking up.
Suddenly, I heard the door open. I walked out of my room to see my mom and her boyfriend walk inside. I wondered what they were doing here. My mom said she would be staying at his house.
"Sof," My mom said, and then she looked at me. "There you are. We need to talk," My mom said. Then, there was a knock on the door, causing me to worry. That couldn't be Ella. I told her to message me and I would meet her outside.
My mom opened the door, and sure enough, Ella was standing on the other side.
"Who are you?" My mom asked.
"Hello, My name is Ella. I am here to pick up Sofia," Ella said as I walked over to where Ella and my mom were standing.
"Oh, I didn't know Sofia had any friends," My mom said
"I am ready to go, Ella. I will see you later, Mom," I said
"Hold on. I told you we needed to talk," my mom said
"Okay, Ella, you can go to the car, and I will be out in a minute," I said. Ella looked at me for a moment before replying,
"Okay, I will be waiting in the car," Ella said
"It won't take that long," my mom said, and she closed the door.
"What do we have to talk about?" I asked.
"Look, I am just going to get to the point. Max asked me to marry him, and I said yes," my mom said, shocking me. She barely knew the man, but she was ready to marry him.
"You are getting married?" I asked
"Yes, and I will be moving in with him." My mom said
"We are moving in with him," I said shocked
"No, not we, me," My mom said, and I was silent.
"Oh," I said.
"I would take you if I could, but Max doesn't want you there. He didn't sign up to by your stepfather, so you can't come," My mom said. I just stood there silently. I didn't know what to say to her. "The rent has been paid for two months because of the assistance I got a few months ago, so you can stay here. You will have to pay to get the gas cut back on, and you will have to pay all of the bills from now on. I don't have the money to help, and Max said he didn't want to help, so you will have to figure it out," My mom said. Still, I just stay silent.
"Look, you have always been mature. You are almost eighteen, so you are basically an adult. You will be fine," My mom said
" I don't have time for this shit. I am going to the car. Hurry up, Tina," Max said, and then he walked out of the door.
"Well, I should go," My mom said, and she started walking to the door.
"How could you? I said, causing my mom to look at me.
"What," my mom asked
"How could you do this? I am your daughter, and you are just going to abandon me," I said
"Look, you are almost eighteen, like I said. You are basically an adult now. I have done all that I can for you. I am not going to lose Max the same way I lost your father," My mom said. I just looked at her. I wish I could say I was shocked, but I wasn't. My mom never cared about me. She never put me first. I am honestly shocked she didn't leave me a long time ago.
"I have to go. Take care of yourself," My mom said, and then she walked out of the house. As soon as she was gone, I couldn't help the tears that escaped my eyes. What was I going to do now? I sat on the couch and cried.
I heard the front door open and saw Ella walk into the house. I quickly wipe my tears away, not wanting her to see them.
"Is everything alright?" Ella said as I got off the couch
"Yeah, everything is fine. I am ready to go now," I said. I grabbed my phone and my purse, and we walked out of the door. The ride to Ella's house was mostly silent. I had so much on my mind. I honestly didn't feel like going to the party, but Ella had already driven the hour's drive to my house, so I went.
"Are you sure you are okay? You seem to be deep in thought," Ella said
"Yeah, I am fine," I replied.
Fifty minutes into the drive, Ella turned on a road that seemed to be in the woods. All I could see were trees. I was shocked she knew where we were going because all I saw were trees. Twenty minutes later, there was a huge gate that said The Eclipse Pack Territory. I could see five men standing there, and I knew they were guarding it.
As we got closer to the gate, it started to open. Ella waved at the guards, and they waved back at her as she drove through the gate. I looked out the window as we passed houses, a grocery store, and a park. After about ten minutes, Ella turned into a driveway, and I was shocked at what I saw.
"This is your house?" I asked "Yep," Ella said. It was not really a house. It was more like a castle."Sof, there is something I need to tell you before we go inside," Ella said
"What is it?" I asked
"I didn't go back to my car when you were talking to your mother. I heard the whole conversation," Ella said. I could tell she was worried about me by her facial expression.
"Ella, I don't want you to worry about me. I will be fine. Everything will be okay," I said
"You need to let me help you, Sof. You can't stay in that house by yourself you are only seventeen. Plus, I heard what your mom said about there being no head in your house. You must have been freezing cold last night. You need to let my parents help you," Ella said
"I can't do that, Ella. I don't want to be a burden to anyone. We need to keep this between you and me," I said
"I already told them," Ella said, looking guilty
"What," I asked
"I already told them, and they want you to move here with us. They couldn't believe it when I told them what your mom did. You know they really like you, especially my mom," Ella said
"I can't stay here," I said
"Why," Ella asked
"I don't want to impose, and your brother hates me," I replied
"He doesn't hate you, Sof," Ella said, and I just looked at her, and she sighed. "I know he has been acting like he hates you, but trust me, he doesn't," Ella said
"Well, he sure acts like he hates me," I replied
"That is because Ethan is stupid, but I have a feeling that everything is about to change. Just think about staying here with us, okay, Sof?" Ella said with a smile on her face.
"Okay, I will think about it," I replied.
"Good, now, Come on. Let's get ready in my room so we can go and celebrate my birthday," Ella said
"But I am already ready," I replied
"I have a dress for you to wear," Ella said
"A dress," I asked. I didn't wear dresses that much. I was more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.
"Yes, and you can't tell me no today. After all, it is my birthday," Ella added. I sighed in defeat as we got out of the car and headed into the mansion.
"What is she doing here?" Ella and I looked up to see Jane walking toward us, and I frowned. She was the last person I wanted to see
"Not that it's any of your business. Sof is here because I invited her. She is my best friend," Ella said
"Ethan isn't going to like this. She doesn't belong here," Jane said
"That's what you think, but I know that she does belong here," Ella replied
"Whatever. I don't have time for this," Jane said, and she walked away.
"Don't mind her, Sof. She's been in a bad mood all day," Ella said
"Why," I asked
"Let's just say things didn't go the way she thought they would this morning," Ella said, and I just looked at her, confused. Come on. Let's go to my room. I will give you a tour of the house later," Ella said, and we headed to Ella's room.
Sofia's Point of View"You look so beautiful, Sof," Ella said. Once we made it to Ella's room, I took a shower in her bathroom that was attached to her room. I sighed when I felt the water on my body. It felt nice having hot water again. Then, I put on the dress that Ella bought for me. It was a short red dress that showed off all of my curves. Once I was dressed, Ella did my hair and makeup. "Don't you think it is too much? I mean, I don't normally wear things this revealing," I said"You look great, Sof, and it isn't too revealing. Ethan is going to love it," Ella said"What do you mean?" I asked"Nothing," Ella said. I didn't understand why she would think Ethan would like what I was wearing. I was sure he would ignore me like he always did. He wouldn't spare me a glance. I hated how my thoughts upset me. I hated that I wanted Ethan to want me just like I wanted him. There was a knock at the door, and Tammie, Ella's mom, walked inside. "You two look so beautiful," Tammie said"T
Sofia's Point of ViewI didn't know what was going on. Ethan was hugging me tightly, and I knew he was sniffing my neck. I didn't know what to do. Even though I was confused, it didn't change how good it felt with him holding me. I could even feel these pleasurable tingles going through my body, and I was sure it was because of him. It was weird because I had never felt anything like it. "It's you. I can't believe it's you. You have no idea how happy I am that it's you," Ethan said as he looked at me with a smile on his face, confusing me more."Um, what are you talking about?" I asked, and Ethan's smile turned into a frown. I looked around to see everyone was staring at us. Eric walked over to where Ethan and I were standing and placed his hand on Ethan's shoulder."I need to speak to you in my office, Ethan," Eric said, and he looked at his dad. "Okay," Ethan said, and then he looked at me. "I will be back," Ethan said, and then he walked away with Eric. Everyone was still looking
Ethan's Point of View(Earlier that morning)"Wake up, Ethan," I heard Ella say before she poured cold water on me, causing me to open my eyes and sit up on my bed. "Happy Eighteenth Birthday, brother," Ella laughed as she ran out of my room."I am going to get you back, Ella," I growled. I should have known she was going to pull a stunt like that. She always did something to me every year on our birthday. I got up out of bed and walked over to the bathroom, which was attached to my room. I took off my wet clothes and got into the shower. My name is Ethan Black, and today is my eighteenth birthday, along with my twin sister Ella. You would think that we hated each other because of the way she just poured water on me, but we were actually really close. I loved my sister, and she loved me. I would never let anyone hurt her, and she would never let anyone hurt me. After taking a shower, I got dressed, brushed my teeth, and headed back to my room. A few minutes later, there was a knock o
Ethan's Point of View"Ethan, wait up," My best friend and future beta, Ryan, said, causing me to stop walking and look at him. "Where are you going?" Ryan asked. "For a walk. I need some air," I said. I needed to get away from Jane. She wouldn't leave me alone. She apologized to me for trying to mark me. She told me it was her wolf and that she felt terrible. I wasn't sure if she was being truthful. I had a feeling she was the one who wanted to mark me and not her wolf, but I decided to let it go and told her that I forgave her. It was a big mistake because, after that, she wouldn't keep her hands off of me. She was acting like we were still in a relationship. She was calling me baby and trying to kiss and hug me. I couldn't take it anymore, and I needed to get out of the packhouse, so I decided to go for a walk. "I will walk with you," Ryan said, and we started walking toward the woods in silence. "It's because of my sister, isn't it?" Ryan asked. Yes, Jane was Ryan's twin sister,
Sofia's Point of ViewI had never been so happy in my life. The girl I had always loved was my mate. I put my face into her hair and inhaled her scent. I would never get enough of her scent. I was sure everyone was watching, but I didn't care. The only person that mattered was Sofia. "It's you. I can't believe it's you. You have no idea how happy I am that it's you," I said. I pulled away and looked at her face, and smiled. "Um, what are you talking about?" Sofia asked, causing me to frown. Sofia looked so shocked, and I couldn't blame her. I was sure she was confused about what I was talking about. She was probably wondering why I was hugging and talking to her after all of these years of ignoring her. My dad walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder. He told me that we needed to talk in his office, and I knew he wanted to talk to me about Sofia being my mate. I told Sofia that I would be back before following him to my office. I could tell everyone was shocked that she wa
Sofia's Point of View"There you are. I have been looking everywhere for you. What are you doing out here?" Ella asked as she sat beside me on the grass. After seeing Ethan and Jane kissing, I went for a walk. I needed to get away from him. Seeing Ethan and Jane together always made me feel bad. I always wished I was the woman he decided to be with. For some reason, it hurt even more today when she kissed him. I could feel a pain in my chest, and I felt like he had betrayed me by being with her. I know I had no right to feel that way, but I did. I wished I could talk to Ella about my feelings for her brother, but I knew I couldn't. I was sure she would be upset with me if she knew how I felt about him. No one wants their best friend to get with their brother. I was sure she would think I wasn't good enough for him anyway. Hell, I knew I wasn't."I just needed to get away for a moment," I said as I looked at the moon. "Are you okay?" Ella asked worriedly"Yeah," I replied. I could te
Sofia's Point of View"I love you so much, Sof. You are the most beautiful woman in the world. You have no idea how happy I am that you are finally here with me. Now, we can finally be together. I am so happy we can finally be together," Ethan said as he hugged me. We were standing in the woods, and the moon was shining bright. Ethan started moving closer to me, and I knew he was about to kiss my lips, but I moved away. "This is wrong, Ethan. We can never be together. We are from two different worlds. No one would want us together," I said sadly."You are wrong, Sofia. We are meant to be together. I don't care what anyone else thinks. You are mine, and I am yours. I will never let you go," Ethan said, making my heart flutter. We both moved closer to each other so that we could kiss, but then I heard Ella's voice. "Sofia, Sofia, time to wake up,"I opened my eyes and saw Ella standing there in front of me. "Hey," Ella said. I looked at the clock to see it was almost noon. I was shock
Sofia's Point of ViewAfter grabbing my purse and phone, I decided to head to Ella's room, which wasn't that far from mine. I opened the door and was shocked to see Ethan walking back and forth by my room, looking nervous. When he realized I was there, he stopped moving and looked me in the eyes. I couldn't help but stare into his eyes as well. I felt like I was in a trance. I looked into his beautiful blue eyes that I had loved for so long. After a while, I cleared my throat before speaking."Hi, Ethan," I said. I wanted to face palm myself for not coming up with something better to say. "Hey, I was about to knock on your door to see if you were ready to go get your things from your old apartment," Ethan said"Yeah, I am ready. I was about to go and see if Ella was ready," I replied"Good, we can go to her room together," Ethan said"Okay," I replied. Ella's room was on the other side of the hallway. Ethan and I walked in silence for a moment before he spoke."How did you sleep?" Et

Sofia's Point of View"Are you sure you want to come? You don't have to if you don't want to?" Ethan asked. It was the day King Lestat was getting put to death and Ethan kept asking me if I wanted to go."Yes, I am coming. I am your queen and should be there. I will be fine," I said"Okay, but if you change your mind at any time I am getting you out of there," Ethan saidKing Lestat was being executed at the Vampire Council Head Quarters. I guess one of them was going to inject him with something that would kill him. When we made it to the Vampire Council Head Quarders we were greeted by two men. They were the leaders of the Vampire Council.Hello, King Ethan, Queen Sofia," one of the men said"Hello," Ethan replied"Everything is about to start. Let's head up to the stage," One of the men said and we followed them. There were a lot of people sitting below us that were there to watch King Lestat's execution. Ethan and I were sitting with the other supernatural Kings and Queens. "Ever
Sofia's Point of View"Love," Ethan said as he came over to me and hugged me tightly. "Take her to a cell," Ethan said, and the guards went over to where Helena was frozen and dragged her away. Ethan looked at my grandfather, and I was about to tell him that he was on our side, but his words shocked me. "Thanks," Ethan and my grandfather nodded his head. "You don't have to thank me. We are family," He said. I was about to question Ethan, but Tabatha made a moaning sound. She was still alive."Tabatha," I said and I stood over her. She was dying, and I couldn't help but think it was because of me. She went against her sister to save me."You can heal her," Tali saidTali is right. It will be harder this time, but you are stronger than you know," Mona added."Do what Helena had you do earlier. Close your eyes and feel," Tali said. I did as she said and closed my eyes. put my hand on her chest, and just like the last time, I felt a lot of energy inside of me. I could feel myself healin
Sofia's Point of View"STOP." Everyone turned to see Mr King. Ethan wrapped his arms around mine protectively."What do you mean, stop? Look at what she did to my sister," Helena said"Your sister will be fine," Mr. King said, and then he looked at me. The shield was still up, so he couldn't get to me. Ethan's being so close to me was helping me keep the shield up. "You are going to do what I say and drink this blood, or your mother is going to die," Mr. King said, and two vampires walked inside the room with my mom, who had chains around her arms. Another man walked in behind them and went over to where Mr. King was standing. He looked so familiar to me even though I had never seen him in my life. His eyes went to me, and he smiled. "I know I look familiar to you. Hello, My Granddaughter," the man said. That was when I realized he was my mom's father and a vampire. "Now, if you don't want your mom to die. You better come over here and drink this, or I will have your grandfather kil
Ethan's Point of View"Where the fuck did she go?" I asked after King Lestat, and that witch Helena disappeared and took my mate with them. I needed to find her and quickly. I knew she felt bad after she fed from me. She was worried that she might have hurt me, but she didn't, which was shocking because it should have harmed me. Vampire venom is very dangerous to werewolves. It can even lead to a werewolf's death. The Doctor came over and checked on me to make sure I was fine. "King Ethan, we need to get you to the Pack Hospital so I can run some tests and make sure you are okay," The Pack Doctor said"No, I am fine. I don't need to go to the Pack Doctor. I need to find Sofia," I replied. "Okay, let me check you out real quick to make sure you are alright, and then you can go look for her," the doctor said"No, I am fine. We need to find Sofia now. I need you to get Tabatha," I said."There you are. What took you so long?" I asked Tabatha as she came to the front of the packhouse, w
Sofia's Point of ViewAs my dad and I walked up to the fighting ring, I could feel everyone's eyes on me, but I kept my eyes on Ethan. He was looking back at me, smiling at me warmly. I could feel how happy he was through the mate bond. Once I got to him, my dad placed my hand in Ethan's hand, just like they would at a wedding. "Take care of my daughter," My dad said as he looked Ethan in the eye"With my life," Ethan replied seriously. My dad walked to the side where Stacie, Nick, Jason, and Layla were standing. Layla looked so nervous, but I was happy she was standing beside Jason. He had his arm protectively around her. I was so happy that Layla trusted Jason. I knew he would never hurt her and would treat her well. Eric walked over to us and started the ceremony. "Do you, Ethan Black, accept the position of Werewolf King? Do you promise to lead with authority and fairness?" Eric asked"I do," Ethan replied. Then, Eric took a knife and made a small cut on Ethan's palm. Tammie h
Sofia's Point of ViewThe feeling of someone shaking me woke me up. When I opened my eyes, I saw Ella standing above me with a smile on her face. "It's time to get up. You know what today is. It's your Luna Queen Ceremony." Ella said. I was shocked to see her up and excited so early in the morning. It was only a little after seven. I looked over to the side where Ethan usually sleeps and saw it was still empty. I knew he hadn't come back to our room because his side looked untouched. "He slept on my parent's floor. Mom made him. She said something about it's bad luck to see each other before the Alpha and Luna Ceremony," Ella said"Do you treat this like a wedding?" I asked. Thanking about how it was bad luck for the bride and groom to see each other before their wedding. "No, Mom is just being extra careful. I think she is a little worried with everything that's going on," Ella said "Oh," I replied. "Now get up and shower. Mom and Stacie are in the kitchen making breakfast," Ella
Sofia's Point of View"Sof, are you alright? I know you are worried about King Lestat," Ella said. We were in her room up on Eric and Tammie's floor. Ethan wanted to make sure we were safe, so he thought it would be best for us to go to their floor. Nick, Jason, and some of the other guards that Ethan trusted were up there with us. Layla was sitting in Ella's room with us, and Brittany was asleep. We hadn't really spent much time with Layla because she was adjusting to being in the Castle. Ethan and Eric were out with the guards looking for King Lestat. I was sure they weren't going to find him. He had to be long gone by now, and there was no way he was going to a place they would think of looking. Tabatha went with them, but I didn't think they would find him. Helena was stronger than her. "I'm fine. I just wish we could have a day without any drama," I replied"I know. I can't believe Helena was able to get away. Tabatha seemed so sure that her spell would work," Ella said"I just
Sofia's Point of ViewEthan was walking toward the apartment entrance when I opened the door. I could tell he was concerned about something. "Are you okay, My Love?" Ethan asked"Yes, I am fine. What's wrong?" I asked"King Lestat escaped his cell," Ethan said"What? How is that possible? I thought Tabatha cast a spell to make sure no one would be able to get in," I said. Something didn't seem right to me. "She did, but I guess it didn't work. Helena is stronger than Tabatha, so she figures out how to get through her spell. We need to get back to the castle," Ethan said, and he opened the passenger side door for me to get inside"Wait," Stacie said and we all looked at her. "He might go after Tina now that he escaped. He might hurt her," Grandma Mandy said worriedly. I knew she was upset with my mom but she still saw my mom as her daughter and didn't want anything to happen to her. I honestly didn't want anything to happen to her either."You are right, mom. We need to protect her,"
