Sophia's plan to spend the remaining year of high school as an invincible girl came crumbling down the moment she saw the green eyed Alexios. Her heart skipped, his breathe stopped. All he could see was her, he wanted going to her, wanted holding her, wanted sniffing in her scent until he is basked in it, but he had to hold back. Even when his wolf howled inside his head, even when his heart thumped so much, even when he is staring right at his MATE! He had to hold himself because she is human.
View MoreSkylar's POV Two days ago my only friend left and ever since I haven't been able to reach either her or her mom. And today, as I walk to the cafeteria, I forced myself to not cry. I am back to being the loner, I am not boring, and I am not a bad person either, but weirdly enough, people seem to stay away from me. They seem to be uninterested in getting to know me. When Sophia had first resumed, seeing her wear that big sweater and being fidgety, I had approached her, and God when I saw her, I had thought she would be a bitch and walk away. She had both the face and the body to compare with the school hottest girl and she would have most likely won, yet that girl prefers to hide behind a big sweater. I wanted to unravel her, and when her relationship with Alex got serious, well she started loosening up. I was happy to see her happy, that in love. "Skylar, wait up. Hi." Caius called and I turned to see them all walking over. Since the tension, we are only seeing today for the
"Sophia." Skylar's sleepy voice called as she sat up."Oh Sophy, don't cry anymore please." She pleaded as she tried to wrap me in a hug. "Your dad will hate to see you like this."I showed her the pictures and her face showed immense anger. "This has to be photoshopped. He hates being this close to other ladies that isn't you." She said as she glared at the pictures."There is only one way to find out, I am going to him." I told her as I stood up and looked for something decent but casual to wear. Since he is not picking up my calls, then I will head over to his place."But it is risky out there Sophy." I know that, I knew that but I needed to go confirm this myself. Was he really going to be engaged to that lady soon? Why? Is he being forced into it? Was that what had bothered him all through his stay with me last night?Skylar heaved a sigh and got up, she insisted on following me. I knew if I went out through the main door, I would be stopped, so I climbed down my window after pic
"Dad you have got to stop talking, you need every bit of strength you can muster to fight this. And besides you are scaring me." I cried as I pleaded but his weak eyes just stared back at me. 'How can he still be trying to smile?'"Sweetheart, promise me you will leave here. It will hurt but you have to endure the pain and leave. When he is stronger, when he can protect you, or when and if you finally can meet that part of you you are yet to meet, then maybe you can come back of you are strong enough. I don't want you to become a pawn in the battle of strength. Please promise me." I cried even more hearing his plea."I promise dad, I promise." He nodded as he looked visibly relieved. Mom pushed the door as she walked in, her eyes red. 'Was she crying? What did the doctor tell her?' I stood silently as I couldn't bring myself to ask her questions and I just watched her walked over and held dad's hands."You are so cruel." She told him and dad chuckled weakly."I am glad I get to live
"I need to see my dad. I have to see him." I pleaded wanting to leave his hold but Owen's strength was one I couldn't pull out of."You will have to wait until your mom is out." The nurse said in what she most likely thinks is a comforting voice."Come with me sweetheart, you will need to wear some special clothing before you can go in there." Mom who had been inside said. Her eyes were red, she has obviously been crying. "While you are with your dad, I will go talk to the doctor." I nodded ."How is he mom?" I asked her crying. "I don't know. Hence why I need to go talk to a doctor." Mom's voice was breaking which only added to my fear. 'How could a wolf attack him? He didn't go to a jungle, he was dri ing home to us! What happened?' I had so many questions with no one to answer them. I was given some sort of a disposable jumpsuit to wear and some disposable cap to use. After dressing up, the staff led me back to dad's ward, while mom went looking for the doctor.Owen was still th
I woke up to an empty bed, 'Where is he?' I wondered as I listened thinking maybe he was in the bathroom, but no matter how long I listened, there was no sound coming out from the bathroom.I stepped out of the room and found mom eating an apple. "Good morning mom." I greeted her with a smile."Good morning princess. How was your night?" She asked winking and I blushed."Good mom, it was good." Looking around, "Mom where is Alexios?" I asked her."He left quite early this morning, he said something came up and he needed to go. He had asked me to tell you as he didn't want to wake you up." I nodded biting my lips.'Hopefully everything is alright with him.' I knew there was more to what he had told me last night, but since he wasn't willing to share much, I decided to trust and wait for him."What is for breakfast?" I asked walking into the kitchen."Cereals." I hummed as I went to pour some for myself. "Your dad will be back later today." Mom informed me and I grinned. 'I have missed
Sophia's POV"So?" Although Alexios asked, I felt like he already knew the answer. The small smile playing on his lips, and the mischievousness of his gaze made me curious."Did you hear I and mom's talk?" I asked him. The possibility of him learning us is low, I had left him in the living room and moreover, when I went into mom's room, I had shut the door after myself."Why? Was I meant to hear something?" He is lying. Alexios is an awful liar. When he lies, he avoids eye contact, he would always looks anywhere else but at me, at my eyes, and he tends to stammer a little when he lies.I decided to ignore it, as calling him out on his lie would only further embarrass me since I know he was eavesdropping on our embarrassing conversation. 'Mom really needs to stop.' I thought to myself as I bit my lips.Pushing the embarrassment to the back of my mind, I went forward and held his hand as we both walked to my room. "I doubt I have a suitable pajamas here that you can use." I spoke as
Sophia's POVIt was already 9 PM and mom had done her rounds with locking up. Since dad traveled, we would always make sure we locked the doors early to avoid any intruder from coming in, but since we were mostly in all day, mom still felt the need to reconfirm that all the doors have been locked.While we sat in the living room watching a series together, we heard a knock. "Who could be at the door at this hour?" Mom asked and I shrugged. I wasn't expecting anyone to visit. It can't be him right? It is late already..."Could it be him?" I asked, and I got my response when we heard his voice."It is me, Alexios. Please open the door." His voice had me sprinting toward the door as I pulled it open to let him inside."Hey baby." He whispered as he looked at me smiling. I hugged him, I felt like he needed a hug. Although he was smiling, he looked unhappy, sad."I am glad to see you alright Alex. I am going to give you kids some privacy but don't go making kids in my absence." Said mom w
Allison POV "They are here." Announced a pack member as we all watched their cars drive in. 'They are home and nothing else matters.' I thought to myself as I watched their car pull over.Sobs from some pack members could be heard as the corpse of the falling heroes were brought out. Their remains are proof of how ruthless those rogues were. Swallowing, I moved forward to open the car in which my husband and Alpha is in."Hey baby." I greeted him as I took him in. His left leg was wrapped up from above the knee down to his toes. I swallowed back my tears once more."Thank you for coming back to me." I mind linked him. I knew saying that out loud would have made some pack members frown at me. Some had lost families, lost friends, lost their mates, in this fight. The pack has lost some really good members so if they heard my selfish remark, they would definitely not be happy about it, not when they are in such pain."The need to see your lovely face had been the only reason I fought ha
Sophia's POV The continuous ringing of my phone had woken me up. The thought that the caller might be Alexios had me awake almost immediately. "Hi." I hated how disappointed my voice had sounded."Hey... How are you doing? I called twice earlier but your mom said you were sleeping." Skylar sounded concerned and worried which only made me feel even worse.l for being disappointed that she was my caller."Yeah. I was stressed so I slept it off." I hadn't realized how long I had slept for not until I looked at my phone. How on Earth was I able to sleep for four long hours?!"As long as you are okay." Skylar said, the worry in her voice reducing. "I am okay I promise. So what about you? How are you doing?" I have to be the worst friend in existence. I had totally forgotten to check in on Skylar, all I had in mind all day was Alexios. "I am doing well. We had been all worried earlier when dad left for work only to come back with news that something strange was happening. It was crazy b
"Are you ready yet? Your dad will drop you off on his way to work." Millie called out for her daughter. "Almost out!" Sophia looked at herself in the mirror one more time as she tried to control her body. She felt nervous, the thought of starting at a new school in her senior year frightened her. Having just moved here because of her father's work, Sophia knew she had no choice, her parents were busy trying to make sure she had the best of everything. "I can do this." She cheered herself as she left the room. 'If only words of encouragement worked magic.' She sighed in her heart as she went outside her room. Their home was quite big. It was a three bedroom bungalow, beautiful and cozy. She especially loved how spacious her room was and the attached closet she got. Sophia was grateful for her father's promotion as that brought in more money to get family, and although she wouldn't be missing her previous home as she had no friends. But the idea of having to be the center of atte
