Sophia's POV

He completely got out of bed and took the glass of water from my hand.

"What's your question?".

"Ugh", I had to find the perfect way to relate it. Making him upset would only make matters worse for me.

"Do you keep secrets?".

He finished sipping his water and dropped the glass back on the tray. I kept it on the bedside stool beside me and fully turned to face him.

"What do you mean by secrets?".

"Well, it's clear enough. I want to know if you keep secrets?".

I folded my arms and waited for the answer.

"Miss Sophia, get to your point".

I could not tell him that I had heard his maids talking about a basement and I also could not say I was asking to confirm so I opted for a lie.

"What I want to know is if you owned this place. It looks gigantic for only you to manage."

"I built this place from scratch. So it's safe to say that I am the rightful owner of the place".

His eyes looked like they had been deprived of sleep and I saw them, nevertheless, I needed my questions to be

    Derrick's POV.I was almost there when I heard someone crying in the back. I stopped and retraced my steps to where I felt it was coming from."What's wrong?".It was a little girl, she was seated on the floor, her eyes were swollen and red and her cheeks were puffy. She looked tattered and hungry.She raised her head to my view and then continued crying."Are you hungry?". She stopped and nodded her head. Just as I had expected."Where is your mother or father?", She shook her head. I assumed she had not yet formed the ability to speak. I dipped my hand into my pocket, brought some changes out, and asked her to follow me. There was a shop down the road.I bought her a snack and then a drink to follow it. She stopped crying and was smiling already."You like?", She nodded. I didn't need to ask, I could see the way her eyes were shining so brightly."Alright, here. Take it", as I handed over the snacks to her, my hands felt her skin and immediately, her memories flooded mine.That was

    Sophia's POVThe Chattering and gossip from these maids were maddening to listen to. Never had I been raised around women and for some reason, I was grateful.They talked about the boy they had a crush on, their fellow maid and her business, how they had a crush on Derrick, and even how they had walked in on him one time when he had his shirt off.They were just about as crazy as I was when he was half-naked and dripping with water down his chest. I could understand their excitement, however, that was not what I was there for. I needed them to talk about the basement.I sat there for long, a cupboard I had crawled into, to listen to them. I waited patiently, hoping to hear them talk when finally, they contributed their voices to tell one of the maids."What's wrong?", I watched through the crack in the cupboard door as the maid who had been yelled at, stopped with a pot in her hand. She looked at each of their faces as though she was demanding an answer, "What did I do wrong?"."I se

    Sophia's POV "Miss Sophia, what are you doing there?", I heard a voice from behind me. I froze. What was I going to tell her?"Can you hear me?", I heard her footsteps come closer to me. Her fingers went to my shoulder and she grabbed me lightly, "Is there something you need?".With a smile, I made a sharp turn her way and faked a cough, "I felt something sharp poke me in my side, I thought I could get medicine from here, can't I?".The maid shook her head. She was the youngest they had been talking to when I was hiding in the cupboard. She must have known it was dangerous to be anywhere near the basement. She pulled me away gently. "Come, we have some medicine in the kitchen. I can get them for you. Here, it's forbidden to go in there".I hissed but not to her hearing, it was my one chance to see what was behind that door and yet, she had caught me. I was disappointed. Better luck next time.As we walked down the pathway, I saw Derrick walking towards me. He looked upset.He stopped

    Sophia's POV.My question must have ruined the mood. He stopped at once and stared blankly at me."Is this necessary?"."What do you mean?". "I'm asking if you need to ask these questions when it's unnecessary ". I watched him back away and then, he left me standing. He walked to his side of the bed and slid in. "I didn't mean to annoy you, I was just saying. I don't like—-"Goodnight, Miss Sophia". He dragged down the lantern's rope and the whole room went off.I was left standing in the dark, thinking about what I had just said. Maybe I was being too persuasive about this. He was being so nice to me. The least I could do was to respect his privacy.But he was not private, it seemed more like he was hiding a dead body in there.Everything felt odd.I crawled into the bed and covered myself up. My eyes weren't sleepy."Try not to think much about it". I whispered to myself as I patted myself on the back. It didn't take much from me as I was still on the bed. "One. Two. Three" and

    Sophia’s POV.My soul left my body for a second. It took an extra minute to recover from the shock and remind my brain to breathe. I staggered back and dropped what was in immediately.“I…i…I can explain.”, I lied. What could I possibly tell him to make up for being in his basement, the one I had specifically said I would not talk about? He pulled closer, enough for me to see the look on his face. He looked very upset. My heart froze again.Was he going to kill me? Was it going to be here? In this dark basement where no one would even dare to find me?I imagined his rude maids would be the first to forget me. They wouldn’t even care to find me and if they asked, their boss would ignore them and that would settle it?“Sophia. Why are you—I fell to my knees and clapped my hands together as more tears fell on my cheeks. “Please punish me whichever way you deem fit but I beg of you, don’t kill me.”I could feel his gaze on me even when my eyes were closed. My heart raced against my chest

    Sophia's POVWhat did he mean by that?I widened my eyes in surprise. Did he mean a ritual or was I to be used for a sacrifice?He laughed again and closed the gap between us when he kissed me more aggressively than before. He tasted every bit of my mouth as though his life depended on it.I liked it.I indulged too. I caressed the back of his neck and even went as far as reaching for the center of the back of his head.All the while we made 'hmm" and 'ahh' sounds.His groans were more seductive than mine. I felt my center tickle. How had I never seen this part of him? Why did I only see his bland side?He peeled off me and for a brief second, I thought I saw a golden ring form in his eyes.His iris turned gold and his pupil dilated. I gasped and pointed to them but when he blinked, I saw them disappear. His eyes returned to their normal color. His fangs disappeared. He became the Derrick I knew."What?". He was breathing heavily. I shook my head. How was I supposed to explain what I

    Sophia's POV.He stared at me with no expression on his face, "What do you mean?"."You see… " I slurred my words as they rolled down my tongue. "I was so disturbed about you. I was worried about what would happen, who you are, and the rest of that".He leaned into his chair, "Seeing as you aren't as bad as I imagined you to be. I have decided that I will let go of my worries and be nice to you".He tightened his lips into a smile, "Be nice to me. Is this you trying to bribe me because I haven't reacted about seeing you in my basement?".I pouted. "You already reacted. You kissed me and carried me here so we could talk. I liked that and that's why I said what I said. I will be nice to you".It felt like ice rolling off my mouth and I hoped it felt like music to my ears. I stared deep into those beautiful eyes, almost forgetting myself.For the first time in my life, I was looking at someone who I found handsome and I was not going to be curious about him.

A determination to bring an end to the man that had plagued their pack for far too long.As they neared Victor's hideout, Derrick could feel the tension mounting. But he pushed aside his fears, focusing instead on the task at hand as they prepared to face whatever awaited them.His men waited behind while a handful of them followed the prisoner. Finally, they reached their destination, a discarded building hidden deep within the forest, its walls cloaked in shadows as if hiding secrets of their own. Derrick's heart pounded in his chest as he surveyed the scene before him. His senses were on high alert as he realized he never could have expected Victor to use a place like this.The prisoner led them inside, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors as they moved deeper into the darkness.

    Derrick leaned forward, his eyes locked onto the prisoner's face, his heart pounding with anticipation. "Where is Victor?" he demanded, his voice edged with urgency. "And who were you running from?"The man took a deep breath, his gaze flickering between Derrick and Brandon as he weighed his words carefully. "It's a complicated matter, Alpha Derrick. You see, we were about to leave for battle," he began, his voice low and hesitant. "But when we went to check on Alpha Victor, he wasn't there. I went to call him from his hideout, and when I arrived, I saw him... I saw him with his fingers on the floor, chanting words."A shiver ran down Derrick's spine at the man's words, a cold knot of dread forming in the pit of his stomach. Whatever Victor was up to, it was clear that it was something far more sinister than they had anticipated."And who were you running from?" Derrick pressed his voice tight with apprehension.The man swallowed hard, his eyes darting nervously around the room before

    Back at the pack house, Derrick wasted no time in implementing his plan. As his men corralled and subdued Victor's fleeing warriors, he issued orders with precision and authority."Detain them all," he commanded, his voice cutting through the chaos of the captured men being brought in. "Lock them up tight. We need to find out what's going on."His soldiers moved swiftly, their movements coordinated and efficient as they ushered the prisoners into makeshift holding cells, their hands bound securely behind their backs.Once they were all secured, Derrick made his way to the cells, his footsteps echoing in the empty corridor as he approached the captives. His eyes scanned the faces of the defeated men, searching for any sign of weakness or defiance."Who's in charge here?" Derrick demanded, his voice cold and authoritative as he addressed the group.A tense silence hung in the air for a moment before a man stepped forward, his demeanor defiant despite his predicament. "I am," he replied,

    It's been several weeks since Derrick was able to escape the attack, reuniting him with his Sophia and son, Tate. But they knew they couldn't rest. Alpha Victor was still out there, plotting goddess knows what. The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the rugged landscape as Sophia stood in the fading light, her hands clasped tightly in prayer. The soft rustle of the wind through the trees was the only sound, mingling with the murmured words of her entreaty to whatever higher power might be listening."Please, let him come back to us. Keep him safe, watch over him," she whispered, her voice filled with a mixture of fear and hope. "Guide his steps, shield him from harm, and bring him home victorious."Tears glistened in her eyes as she finished her prayer, a silent plea hanging in the air as she gazed out into the distance, willing her words to reach her husband wherever he may be.Behind her, Derrick emerged from the dressing area, his eyes tender as he watched

    Sophia's POVSomehow I felt Brandon was part of the people admitted, I went with Brandon and we walked into the ward where the two strangers were kept.My gaze traveled to the bed and there he was seated beside a lady on the bed, "Derrick," I muttered. Immediately he stood up and ran towards Brandon, they did a handshake, which I have only seen Brandon do with Alpha Caleb."Welcome Alpha Brandon," he said and I was shocked. I couldn't believe my ears, Brandon is an alpha? He stood gazing at me, we kept mute staring at each other with tears rolling down his eyes and mine.We moved at the same time and we hugged each other, it was so priceless. This is a moment I have been longing for over the past months, to be in his embrace. We hugged for a few minutes, as he ran his hands through my hair, while he patted me on my back."I have missed you, my love," he muttered as he sobbed."I have missed you also, what took you so long?" I asked sobbing, we disengaged from the hug staring at each o

What we had our mind fixed on was how we were going to get her out of the dungeon he kept her.As we moved, we stopped right at the front of a rock, which seemed like the end of the road. "Where are we heading to?" Caleb asked, breathing heavily."Inside the rock, it leads straight to the basement," he muttered and we were both shocked.I had to look at the rock again, "How do we get in, there's no opening anywhere and how sure are you about this?""I am fucking sure because

They both shook hands, John stood up and cleared his throat, gazing at me, "Alpha Brandon, please meet my trusted spy, I call him Wisdom.""Wisdom meet Alpha Brandon," I stood up and we both shook hands, "You are welcome Wisdom.""Thank you, sir, it's an opportunity to meet you, can we please go ahead?" He asked and I nodded my head, "Hold on, hold on, don't be too fast, won't you get to know who the rest are? John asked.Wisdom exhaled, "Go on boss, I am listening." John pointed to Alpha Caleb, "That's Alpha Caleb, you know the name of his pack right?" Wisdom nodded his head."That's Sophia, Alpha Brandon's sister, and seated beside her is Sandra, Alpha Brando

How about we send a spy to get information for us?"John sat up, clapping his hands, "Exactly, that was the same idea that came across my mind, why don't we get someone to penetrate the pack? The job of this individual will be to send us vital information not about the pack, but about Alpha Victor, his movements, where he goes to, and the rest."I kept quiet as I pondered on what they just said, "Do you guys think this is the best thing to do?"They nodded their heads, "It's the best thing to do, we can't act without information. We need information to act, don't you think?" Sandra asked."Yeah, we need information to act, I believe, now the big question is who is going to be the spy. It can't be

Do you know him?" She clung to her neck, breathing hard as she nodded her head."Who's he, talk to me," I said as I moved towards her. From the way she responds, I feel there's something tragic about that name, the only way I can find out is by getting her to talk about it."He is the alpha of our pack, not only that he is our stepfather," she whispered looking scared, "Our stepfather? You mean the man that Mum married after Dad's death?"She nodded her head, "That man is evil, he's an evil brother. He is evil.""Evil, what do you mean, talk to me, how's he evil?" We all turned towards her."He was the one who offered me to Alpha Caleb, and when Alpha Caleb rejected me, he sold me to Alpha Derrick. Not only that he mistreated me during my stay with him, he maltreated me, he also did the same with Mum," she
