Sophia's POVInside his room, I found myself glancing around the walls. He had paintings of himself in portraits and landscapes. He had artworks too and a war armory. The feeling I was having from seeing all that was calmness. "Welcome", I heard someone open the door. "When I asked for you to undress, I didn't expect you to do it in the literal sense of it".He walked over to a wardrobe and brought me some clothes. They were all male clothes as expected. I took them from him and excused myself as I walked into the bathroom. "Thank you. " I came out not long after, wearing freshly cleaned clothes with my hair wrapped in a bun. "Thank you so much".He smiled widely. His eyes were on my legs and thighs. "You look lovely with clothes on".I sensed the sarcasm behind it. He was polite about it."You said your name is Sophia, right?".I nodded again. "You are?".He smirked. "I will tell you but in due time. First, why don't you have a meal to calm yourself down. I can see you've been thro
Sophia's POV.I waited for his axe to cut off my arm first but it never came. There was a minute of silence and then someone clapped.I opened my eyes to a half of its size to see what was happening. "Had they changed their minds and wanted to go boiling me in hot water?".I looked around to confirm and to my greatest surprise, all the men had left the table and were seated far from me. They held beer in their hands and had smiles on their faces."What is going on?"."I like her". Their leader said. "she doesn't scare easily. She is one woman I would have loved to have as a Luna. A woman who would easily take a shot at death for us. Wouldn't you agree?".They roared with laughter at once. A pang of sudden confusion hit me."What's going on?"."Alpha Brandon was not going to hurt you. He was merely trying to test you. He knows who you are and everyone knows how your father treated you. You don't need to explain".I pushed out a relieved sigh. Thank the moon goddess."Did you need to go
Brandon's POV.I stared into her eyes. She looked so pure and innocent. Sophia always had such beautiful eyes and an innocent soul. "What do you mean?".She opened her eyes, looking confused. "The start of what?"."Something beautiful".She looked stunned at what I had just said. "Alpha Brandon. I'm not sure I know you but I would appreciate it if you–Her hands went down to her stomach as she gently rubbed on it. I smiled again, I just have given her the wrong impression of myself.I chuckled. "Sophia. I didn't mean it in that regard. I would never have said it that way".She stopped."Then what did you mean? I'm a bit confused".I stood up from the bed and walked to the window. "I meant it in a brotherly way. I came because I had always admired you as a sister".The expression on her face softened. "I am still a bit confused"."Ever since you were a little girl, your pack and I had been on great terms. Your father was a friend of mine and your mother was an amazing woman. I loved
Sophia's POV.The next couple of days were better than the rest of my life.I had freedom. I was protected and more importantly, I was at peace with myself.It bothered me that I had not seen Derrick and I did not know how he was doing but aside from that, I was fine.All my scars had healed thanks to Alpha Brandon and his maids, once again, I was fine.Brandon had tried his hardest to give me the best comfort he could think of, even in the midst of not having as much as he had before his pack lands were taken from him. His men were not as terrible as they were to me the first day and as the days grew, they became friendlier.I didn't know how long it was going to last but I decided to make sure I enjoyed the peace I was getting."Alpha Brandon, we need to see you at the hall. Something has come up". A guard leaned over Brandon's ear to talk to him while I was playing chess with him.He whispered but I could still hear him. I think the pregnancy had increased my ability to hear better
Sophia's POV.Brandon didn't tell me who it was but he asked me to make sure I always had someone around."I will go with you", a guard said as I walked out of my room to the kitchen. I shook my head and waved my hand, "It's completely not necessary, trust me. This is not needed".He scoffed, "Only if you want the Alpha to break me into pieces".He walked me to the kitchen and back, regardless of what I said. I protested a couple of times but it still led to the same result. After some days, I grew tired of talking and simply went with the flow."Brandon", I called him when he entered my room. "Brandon, I need to speak with you".He asked me to carry on, "What could be the matter?"."What do you mean?"."I'm not comfortable with a guard following me head-on and not knowing the reason for it. What's wrong?".He sighed and grabbed a chair as he tried to sit by my side."It's nothing important. You don't have to worry yourself "."If it was not important, I'm sure a guard would not have
Sophia's POVHe returned shortly after he had raged on and everywhere became quiet. When he had left, I saw Brandon come out of his house. He confidently walked to his beta wolf and gave him a loud warning. "I do not want him here again. Do not let him into our pack land again. Is that clear?".Everyone shivered in fear. They were at a standstill as they took his instructions. "Do I make myself clear?!" He roared in everyone's ears. "Yes sir!". He walked away. I watched from the back of the house I was in as he hurriedly rushed back into his building.He looked scary. He looked like he was hiding something and I wanted to know what it was.I followed him carefully. He walked hurriedly until he came to a halt at his door. He stopped to open it when he suddenly looked in my direction. I was fast enough to hide behind a tree before he could see me. He raised his head in the air and sniffed around. It was as though he could sense my scent. "Where are you?".I froze. "Sophia. Come ou
Sophia's POVAlpha Brandon led me down the stairs and into the dining. His maids had already packed us a basket of fruits and snacks as they bowed when we appeared in the kitchen."Good morning Alpha, good morning Miss Sophia".I greeted them too. "I hope you all slept well"."Yes we did", six maids chorused. They raised their heads and walked out of the kitchen, leaving us alone."Aside from orange juice, is there anything else you would like to be added to the basket to make you enjoy our outing?".I shook my head. "Nothing more, I'm fine"."Very well then". He grabbed the basket and left the way.Outside, we had several guards waiting at the front door for us. "Alpha Brandon".Brandon stood tall before them with me in his right hand."I will be leaving shortly for a brief meeting with Sophia. I have something important to discuss with you, I will be back".His beta walked behind him. "Let me accompany you"."No"."But Alpha. With the attacks we have been having, it is not wise to
Sophia's POVI shifted my weight to Brandon's side. The echo of the voice we had just heard ran through the garden we were in. The birds that had perched on the nearby trees all flew to find protection. We were left all alone.Brandon jumped on his feet and looked back at me, "Don't be scared, sit there and wait".His level of confidence could have kept me going, except that I felt the sudden urge to release my bladder from its pressure. I gripped his feet and pressed my eyes shut."Brandon!! How dare you touch her stomach and sit so comfortably with her? Do you not know she belongs to another?". The voice rang again. It was getting closer and closer."As expected. I can see you do not know your place. Why are you here?". Brandon shot.Brandon's calmness made me wonder who he was talking to, thus, I opened my eyes.My vision was blurry for a second but soon enough, it cleared up for me to see a distant figure approaching us. A second more and my focus found a face."Caleb!", I gasped.
The journey was long and arduous, each step bringing them closer to their destination and Derrick felt a sense of purpose driving him forward all through. 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's heart pounded in his chest a
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
Alpha Brandon's POVA few meters from Alpha Victor's pack, Wisdom asked that I bring the car to a stop, I did while waiting for his next instructions."We won't be allowed to get in because we aren't part of the pack, we need another means to get in," Wisdom said as he took off his seatbelt.I did the same and we came out of the car, "Come with me, keep your eyes open and your ears open."Caleb and I nodded our heads as we walked with him along a bushy path, it was a long walk, but the distance wasn't the problem. 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
Alpha Brandon's POV(Two Days Later)We were all seated in my office as we awaited the spy, I glanced at my wristwatch, "John, it's been two hours, and he hasn't shown up.""Be patient man, he will be here soon," John replied, and just then the door opened and a short dark dark-skinned man walked in and walked straight to John. 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
Alpha Brandon's POVAlpha Caleb started chuckling, "I have an idea, though it doesn't look great, but it will surely be of help.""Spill it, I am listening," I said and sat up, he nodded his head, and also sat up, "Right now we don't have a lot of information and we just can't act like that. 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
Alpha Brandon's POVOur gaze was fixed on Alpha Caleb as he wrote down the name of the Alpha, he wrote on the board Alpha Victor."What?" Sophia gasped looking shocked, "What is it? 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
