Sophia's POV."You mean my baby is out!!", I felt a heavy block roll out of me again."Isn't it too early?!", I moved uncomfortably as I began panicking, my hands had started shaking at this point and my breath became heavy.The doctor asked me to steady myself. "Breathe easy. You need to take it easy so we can pull through", she urged me and begged me to be calm."I… I.. I can't". There was more coming out of me. I could feel the weight of something moving."The head is out now, you just need to push the baby out.", She turned to her assistant, "We're having a premature delivery, ready the incubator and call the hospital, ask them to send an ambulance".She faced me again, "Breath!. I'm sorry about this but you need to be the one to push this child".A hot tear rolled down my eyes. The nurse widened my legs and tore off my skirt. She said I needed air to touch me."Fan her". She yelled.All the maids and women in Brandon's mansion came out to help."It'll be alright Luna, you can do
Brandon's POV.I left Sophia to rest and went back to the pack. As I walked along the lonely hallway of the hospital we had driven her to, I couldn't help but see many other werewolves from our pack and how hard they were living.The setting sun from the windows of each room I passed made the things I saw even more depressing. I shook my head and tried to pull my mind off the sight."These people are suffering and it is all my fault", I found my hand beating my chest as I tried to suck in a breath.Yes, it was all my fault but more importantly, it was the fault of that bastard— Caleb.He would not listen. The bastard had been so envious of his perception of Sophia and me that he had to attack her.He tried to rape her for fuck sake and that was the limit he should never have crossed."Good evening, Alpha", a nurse greeted me on my way downstairs and I responded."Good evening".I looked down at her hand to find pints of blood. Blood that I had both donated and bought, all because of
Alpha Brandon POV.“Hold him still”, I commanded my beta, “Don’t let him shake”.“Yes, Alpha”. He answered back and then gripped him tight. He lowered Alpha Caleb’s hand on the table while I raised my knife and got ready to drop it with all the might I had in me. “You have no right to do this, you bastard!” Caleb shook his body. He barely allowed a second pass without a fight, “Unhand me or you will regret this for life. Brandon!”.I didn’t care to listen. “Is that all you have to say?”.I had nothing else I wanted to hear from him but making him waste his energy on talking seemed like a good game to play before I eventually sliced through his limbs.“Brandon, I beg you, do not do this!”. His roar turned into a whisper. “I let my wolf take over me and didn’t realize when I did that, Brandon, you’ve known me for a while, I would never take advantage of any woman”.Caleb was right. I had known him long enough to swear that he was a good man, however, after what had happened between bot
Alpha Caleb’s POV.I could not feel my feet. My legs felt weaker with every step I took and my vision started turning blur. I blinked severally as I tried to recollect my vision but it was not working.I was too tired to shift to my wolf so I could run back home and the blood that was gushing might have been half of the one in my body.“I can't…”. I said out loud when I tripped over a tree branch and fell on my face. My face landed in the dirt and I ate shit.I was too weak to get up so I flipped over and began rolling.Every nerve in my body stung like I had a pin in them. My shoulder ached so much it began to feel numb. My neck felt itchy and I was very sure I had lost the arm they had cut off.I was frustrated.“Arrgggghh!”, I yelled. My hand was not healing and it was Alpha Brandon’s fault. He instructed his men to inject me with a poison to weaken my wolf, to send it into sleep for some days. The poison was going to have a major effect on my human too. I was too weak to do anyt
Sophia's POV.Standing beside the baby's crib, I watched him snuggle. He had grown by some weeks now and was taken away from the incubator to the crib."He looks so beautiful". Brandon whispered to me. He said it quietly so he wouldn't wake the child."I know. He has his father's eyes." I saw those big sea-blue eyes blink at me. They were tucked inside his eye socket with long girly lashes to accompany it. I faked a blink at him too and he watched him chuckle in his sleep."Yes. They are the same color as mine too". Brandon's whisper came again behind my ear and this time, I felt chills down my spine."I don't understand what you mean", I whispered back and bent over to drop my child back in his crib."I have said I am your brother, Brandon but I can't help but think about how beautiful you are, Sophia".This was coming out of nowhere.It felt strange. "Brandon,", I looked into his eyes for clarity and tried to make out what he meant. "You're scaring me, Brandon"."There is no need t
Brandon's POV. I stood there, paused in my tracks, stunned and dumbfounded. Sophia had just slapped me. My face was red with shame. My hand was still on the side of my mouth, it still stung.But not on my face.It stung in my heart. She had rejected me and it was aching. I could feel my heart tearing into pieces as the scene that had just happened played in my mind over and over again."She didn't mean it". I told myself."Of course she did", my wolf answered back.. he didn't exactly care how I felt most times, he was there to tell me the truth, even when those truths could be shattering my heart into a million pieces. "Do you need air?".******I changed into something appropriate and walked down the stairs hurriedly. My room was beside that of Sophia and so, when I passed, I heard the shower turned on.She was probably washing my hand off her or my scent.Maybe she might have even seen it as a stench now. I didn't hear her sobbing or anything like that so I assumed she was fine
Brandon's POV.My eyes were still half open when she lifted her face from mine."I hope this works", she lowered her face again and planted her lips in mine to blow more air.Her hands recurrently mounted pressure on my chest."Wake up".I enjoyed it. It sent tickles to my side and I was trying so hard not to laugh but when she shifted her pressure to my rib cage, I couldn't help but break out a loud cough.It was meant to be a laugh but I pushed a cough in there."Oh my goodness", she sighed. I turned to find her face filled with relief. "I was scared for a second there, thank goodness you are alive".The fake cough cleared eventually and I was soon able to talk again.I had not realized my voice was a bit rusty until I tried to thank her."My name is—--I cleared my throat, "I'm sorry." I adjusted the tune by tapping my chest twice and then coughing into my fist, "Thank you for saving me, my name is Brandon"."Sandra".A nice name for a nice face. The ice in my chest melted. "You sa
Brandon's POV."What if you were waiting for me?". I found myself blurting out. The room went dead silent as I watched her bit on her lower lip."What if your wolf had asked you to come wait for me?"."I'm not sure that was what I had in mind when I said that?"She tilted her neck to one side of her shoulder and raised her eyebrow."I meant waiting for someone to come buy the house. This house was a gift from my parents but I am an only child so I can't be visiting every time, I have to sell it".My eyelid lowered and my face turned red. I felt embarrassed at the statement I had just uttered. That was a bit too sudden."Oh"."You're funny," she said to me, "I like you".My face brightened up again. "You do?""Yes, it's been a while since I met someone trying to woo me with the old fashion ways, it's cute to see".The blush on my cheek reddened as I fidgeted with my fingers. I looked elsewhere as I tried to distract myself from her comment and hide my embarrassment."You can't call me c
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
