Sophia's POVThe commotion outside in the hallway woke me up. I groaned and turned in the bed and saw that Titus was getting ready for the day."Why didn't you wake me up?" I ask, quickly sitting up realizing that I have meet everyone today. I fling of the blanket and wash my face quickly in the bathroom."I didn't wake you because we have time, and I thought I would let you get a little rest," he explains. I wipe my face with a towel that had his scent all over it."That doesn't matter it takes time to make me look approachable." I always look half dead in the morning and I'm making an impression today.I dig through my suitcase and pick out a dress. I wouldn't wear it to a dinner party but it was a casual dress. I go back into the bathroom and comb through my hair a few times. I didn't like how it poofed up in the mornings. I go back out and see Titus fixing his fair using the vanity mirror."Titus you can do that in the bathroom. I need to do my makeup now," I said nudging him out
Sophia's POVWe all ate lunch together then went back to our rooms to get some rest. I crash into the bed and let out a sigh."What's wrong?" He asks crashing right next to me. I nuzzle my face into his neck taking in his scent."I'm scared for tonight," I said, my breath wavering. He kisses my temple."Why? We'll go to the ballroom. Walk down some stairs. Dance for a bit and then eat some food then we come back here and sleep."Well it's the dancing that I'm worried about," I told him. He sat up and looked at me and smiled while I fiddled with my fingers."Don't you take lessons since your a Beta's daughter?" He asks. I shake my head."I haven't taken classes for awhile," I said. He picks me up and throws me over his shoulder then sets me back down in the middle of the floor."What are you doing?" I ask him."We're going to take a dancing lesson," he says. He holds his hand out and I sheepishly take it. He starts dancing and I try to follow his footsteps. He moved swiftly while I jus
Sophia's POVThe next two days were okay for me. Titus went to meeting while I got to stay in our room and read a book. It was getting harder to keep food down so I just drank a few glasses of water.After the first meeting, Titus seemed frustrated but he wouldn't tell me what was happening. After the second meeting, he seemed less stressed than the day before but I could tell something was still bothering him.It was the last full day we have here at Lotus Pack until we pack and leave back for our pack.We laid in bed together while Titus pulled my shirt up and started rubbing my stomach. He lightly kissed it then kissed me."I don't think I tell you I love you enough," he says. I roll my eyes and shake my head."You tell me every single day. How is that not enough?" I laugh. He puts his nose in the crook of my neck and takes a deep breath."Will you be okay here when we all go on the run?" He asks me. I nod. I can't shift since I'm pregnant so I'm going to stay here and watch from t
Sophia's POVTitus, Brody, and Jacob helped bring all our bags out and into the car. I carried my backpack but it took a lot of convincing since Titus didn't want me to overwork.Everyone has been leaving at different times. From early in the morning to now. We decided to leave in the afternoon. We stood at the entrance until we saw someone drive Titus' Tesla in front of us.We packed all our stuff into the car and I put my backpack in the front with me."Thank you for having us Ryan," Titus thanked. He smiled and nodded."It was our pleasure." We said goodbye to Sienna and Alpha Kian who were leaving later. Titus helped me into his car and Brody and Jacob climbed into the back.Titus started driving on the rocky road until we got to the back roads. I took my blanket and pillow out and leaned the chair back. Brody let out a groan and climbed to the back. I gave him a cheeky smile then got comfortable."Thursday," I said out of the blue. "They said they're coming for me Thursday."Titus
Titus's POVMondayI felt Tala start to squirm around early in the morning. I let out a small groan and look down at her. Her eyes open slowly and she let out a squeak as she stretches her tiny arms. She rubs her eyes and looks at Sophia then looks at me. She saw that I was awake and smiled and waved at me."Are you hungry?" I ask her. I was trying to distract her from waking up Sophia. I wanted her to get some more rest since it was only 9.She nods and I let out a small sigh. I got up and she stands up on the bed and climbs into my arms. I rest her on my hip and she wraps her arms around my neck."Before I make breakfast, we have to get ready," I told her. She nodded and I carry her into the bathroom. "Do you know where you step stool is?"She nods and I set her down. She closes the door that leads to the bedroom and opens the bathroom closet door and points to her wooden step stool.I put out the step stool in front of Sophia's sink and she climbs onto it and grabs her toothbrush ou
Sophia's POVWednesday NightFrom Monday night to now, it has been non stop planning. Titus hasn't come home at night and he's been in his office the whole time. I bring him food and drinks but he still doesn't leave.I've been writing notes to everyone and leaving them in my drawer so Titus could find them. Tomorrow I may never see them again. I can't put everyone I love through what I had to go through.So, everything Titus is doing is useless but it distracted him from my plans.We all sit in Titus office now while Charlotte watched Tala. Titus grumbled as he broke his pen in half and threw it into the trash. There was a map of the pack territory was spread on top of his desk.He grabbed another pen from out of his desk drawer and stood up."This is where the pack house is," he said marking it with two X's. "This is where Sophia's and I's house is.""Pack town is 5 miles from the pack house," Brody said marking it with his pen. "And 20 miles away from the border.""And pack border s
Titus' POV"Fuck," I roared. The birds flew out of the trees as they shook from my outburst. My vision was blinded by my own fury. My breathing became heavy.I lost her. I should have been more attentive. I was too busy focusing on protecting her I didn't check up on her."Damn it," I yell smashing my fist into a tree. She's gone. I couldn't feel anything through our link. It was silent. No feeling no thoughts no communication."What the hell happened. Why are you screaming?" Jacob asks through our link. A low rumble emits from my chest as I go back to our house."They took her. She gave herself over to them and I was helpless. I couldn't fucking do anything. The bitch witch is strong," I growl. "I lost her and I don't know what to fucking do.""Go through her stuff maybe she left clues or something," Brody said butting in the conversation. I go upstairs and see Charlotte holding a sleeping Tala."Bring her to Sophia's old room," I order she nods and carefully carries Tala to the room
Sophia's POVBlood was dripping down from my body and onto the ground. My wolf was weak. They kept objecting my with silver and wolfsbane non stop. They laced my wounds with silver so they wouldn't heal.I had no strength to stand back up on the wall. They've hit everywhere except my stomach. My arms had lost so much blood in them from being hung up so long.I haven't even been here for an hour and I already feel worn out. My clothes were torn and soaked with my blood. My wolf was tired and trying to heal. I tried linking Titus but it was blocked. I hope he found my letter. It explains to him how to find me."I guess you've had a long enough break," Adrian's voice boomed from the stairwell. It's been 7 minutes. There was a table of weapons in the corner of the room. He picked up a gun and a few silver bullets."Let's plays a game," he says. "These bullets are the darts and you're the dartboard."He points the gun at me and shoots. The bullets hits my arm and I let out a scream. He lets

Blaire was two years younger than me and had cravings that were quite similar to mine during my pregnancy with Nick, she had dubbed our house her home since she would practically get everything she needed here. Food, a distraction for the children, an older brother like Julian and an older sister like me. Her words had touched my heart and I had nearly cried but Julian had kept a strong hold on me during the whole confession.I had been munching on chocolate banana treats during my pregnancy with Adriana but my mother wasn't having any of it. 'being unproductive and eating sweets, do you want to put on weight?' were her exact words and then she had resorted to doing exercises dubbed safe for pregnant women with me.Donna and Blaire had joined in and Nick and Amlian enjoyed doing them as well. So more than half the time, keeping me fit was a family activity. It did pay off in the end though, after a good month of safely delivering my baby girl, mother had started up my exercises once a
I watched as Amlian did a quick sweep of his left and right before inserting the key in and turning it, a soft click followed. Amlian hesitated, before turning around and looking at Nick, who was also in the middle of nervously shifting from foot to foot."I don't think we should do this."Nick nodded quickly to his older Brother's statement and pointed to the door that had slowly parted. The afternoon sun lit up Julian's study and in all honesty, I snuck in more often than not.I stifled a laugh when I realized what the two of them would have had to do to get the keys from Edwards coat. Since it was December, a thick cover of ice had consumed our city. Making the temperature drop to 2-5 degree celcius, during the day! Another reason why everyone was tucked in warm clothes and long coats. Edward had to take off his coat upon entering since the central heating system had kept our house temperature normal. Julian had it upgraded a few years back, for the sake of our children and to avoi
They had recently adopted a 5 year old from what I had heard and experienced, it was a girl and she was extremely shy. Donna told me that she had been through a rough patch in her last foster home and was still learning to talk to people. I thought she was cute when they showed me a picture of the girl.She had swollen eyes though and a very skinny body, from what I could tell, she was sleep and food deprived. Ryan-Donna's husband- was scared at first, afraid that since he had hit 45 the child would be hard to keep up with but after he had learned of her past he gladly took her in. So far, the two of them and I were the only people that little Ellen had even said a word to. The only thing she said to me was 'hi' but that was enough to reassure me that the child would be fine.The knock on the door pulled me away from Julian's arms and towards the door."Boy what are you doing with your life? Still single?!""Absurd! Are you sure you're not gay?" I giggled to myself as I heard Ryan and
A month later:"So how was it?" I asked.Me and Donna were seated at the couch, watching a new k-drama and fawning over the beautiful people together, while my husband, brother-in-law, father and mother went to interrogate their captive. From what Julian had clarified for me, the man was his fathers right hand, someone his father had entrusted a lot to.There was some tension between Julian and Edward, it had confused me at the beginning but then I had learned that it was because that man had been the father figure in their life. Someone who had, in a sense taken up the role of leading male for them."What do you all want to eat?" I asked.We couldn't order anything since the location of the safe house had to be kept secret and that was depressing. There was a bit of complaining at the beginning but then we just settled for cooking for the employed people of our little group.I smiled at them as my father and Julian talked about something which seemed too intense for me to keep up with and
It was approaching mid night, during the rest of the day we had moved to another safe house, I was in the same car as my parents after Julian reluctantly let Donna drag him away. It was a full on tear fest that we sat through, my father was the most shaken one. He apologized so many times for letting me leave on my own, going as far as to call himself a terrible parent.I had to remind them of what they always told me, which was that every human makes mistakes. That just resulted in dad complaining about no one else being that stupid. After mom and I had managed to calm him down, they relayed the whole story to me.I had known before hand that my parents were involved with the police in the earlier stages of their lives but as far as I knew, they had dropped the profession once I was born. After me being taken away, they took it upon themselves to personally track me down. No matter how long it took.After six hopeless years of relentless searching, on a stormy evening, they were approac
Edward's orders as he had demanded, getting closer and closer to the main door.As we drew nearer, the danger increased and Edward took longer to call for us. He and his companion Lee had to shoot a few men down while we would stay hidden inside the human shield formed around us that would tighten at any sign of danger."Simone!"At Edward's shout, the man to my left ran after him quietly but nonetheless as quick as a bunny. His movements were smooth as he stopped at the corner and glanced around it before cocking his gun and taking a few shots.We waited calmly as a few groans echoed around us and he crossed the hall. A few moments later, Lee- the man who had previously been assisting Edward- returned and occupied Simone's spot. Looking exhausted and injured as he did so. From his tight hold around his own waist I could only guess that he had been shot or stabbed. The men didn't give it much thought and soon we were moving again.Regardless of his injury, Lee looked on-guard, keeping just
Julian had rushed out despite me trying to hold him back, instead he had just kissed me, wiped away my tears and pressed his forehead against mine before promising that everything was going to be perfectly fine.Edward had rushed Donna and Sally into the room soon after, handing me my gun and the bullets before nodding at the three of us and closing the door behind himself.We sat in silence, jolting as a scream or gunshot rang too close to the room. We could hear sounds from outside the window and the door. The window was covered by a thick curtain to keep anyone from even getting a glance at the inside while the light was closed so no one would become suspicious of the room.It was still cold as we sat in frozen fear, hearts thumping wildly in our chests as shadows passed from beneath the door. Edward hadn't locked it because if it was locked, the enemy would undoubtedly figure out why and we would be in even greater danger than what we were in now.When the door to a nearby room slammed
True that he was old enough to not have his cheeks kissed as greeting but Donna had resisted the stupid universal rule by reminding him of all the pain a mother has to go through to give birth to a kid and watch that kid grow up and become distant hurts her tremendously.Mastering the arts of emotional blackmail, she managed to have my husband sit down with her for a good few hours everyday and talk with him about the most random stuff... after greeting him with kisses on the cheeks.It would drain him tremendously, to sit still and listen but he did it for the sake of his mother. Once Donna realized that Julian had a hard time focusing during their little chats, she had me brought in to distract him further.Me and Donna would chat then and Julian would snuggle into my neck, holding me on his lap, my back against his chest as he breathed me in. Sometimes, if he felt extra naughty, he'd do something unexpected, like kissing my neck or biting down on the sensitive spots. He was well hidden
