Sophia's POV.

I woke up to a loud bell ringing by my window. It rang so loud that I fell off my bed and rose with a headache.

Luckily, pups were known to have terrible hearing in their first few days out of their mother.

The loud gong did not wake them up. I looked over at their crib to find them sleeping peacefully.

Meanwhile, my head was threatening to split open. I held the side of my ears, trying to block out the noise as I stood there.

When it had stopped for a few seconds, I rushed to the window to have a look.

Some men were passing by in a straight line.

They were in lines of two and hard black painted on their faces while they were dressed in fur and animal skin.

They held twigs in their mouths as they hummed an unfamiliar hymn and walked around.

It was a scary festival to witness.

I shut my blinds and searched for my shoes.

I needed to see what was happening.

Suddenly, I heard the sounds of women singing from outside my room.

I slipped into my footwear and ran outside the do

    Sophia's POV."Should we try again?". I offered. Brandon handed the phone over to me, "Be my guest".I took it from his hand and continued dialing their cellphones, still, it was not ringing.Their walkie-talkie was dead and the signal from the tracker was still.Not long after, it went off.This should not be happening, I thought. Why was the only means to save my mate not going through?The entire evening was not pleasant for me.While everyone danced and sang in merriment, I was seated in the corner, tightly clinging to the Alpha's phone in high hopes that I would get a call from the Gamma.My heart was racing against my chest as every second went by. I tried to keep calm and act natural but my legs folded in unconsciously and I found a tear rolling down my eyes a few times."Has anything happened yet?". Brandon would come to ask once in a while and I gave him the answer, "No. I'm still expecting".He would pat on my shoulder and ask me to be patient."Sometimes, it's the network.

    Derrick's POV.I strode through the dense forest that surrounded my mansion, those huge trees cast long shadows in the bright yellow light of the evening that was on its way.Right before me, the air had become so thick with tension that I could barely think straight. It was so much that in my chest, I felt an ominous feeling gripping my heart. Sophia, my mate, was still nowhere to be found, and an unrelenting worry that I had tried to calm persisted as it clawed at my heart. "This is meant to work!", I said as I tapped my chest again and again.My mind reached out, attempting to establish a telepathic link with Sophia. It was the right thing that occurred between every mate, but for some reason, ours couldn't.The connection was weak.My senses were flickering like a dim light in a storm. I took many deep breaths and tried over and over to but it kept ceasing after I tried to call her name.I was worried. Now and then, I could sense her emotions— the fear in her heart. The confu

    I was asleep when my eyes snapped open as a loud thud echoed through the silence of my dimly lit room. I shot up in bed, immediately on high alert. The noise had come from the basement, the very place I had repeatedly warned Sophia to stay away from. Maybe she had come back to me.My instincts kicked in at once, a primal immediacy urging me to check it out.To investigate. Rising from my bed, my bare feet met the cool floor as I scanned the room. It was dark again and cold. I tiptoed to the basement, making sure I was as silent as I could be.Next to nothing.A quick push of the door and I was in.Everything seemed in order, except for a missing cushion and a chair slightly out of place. I frowned, my keen vision was taking in the scene. I knew myself well enough and I was meticulous about my space. I knew what was kept and where it was. Any deviation from what I deemed as standard struck me as odd.Quietly, I approached the basement door again. My senses heightened. I could

    Derrick's POV.I cast a wary glance at the young boy beside me.I saw a mix of curiosity and wisdom radiating from his innocent eyes. This boy.Ethan.A mere ten years old told me something that I, a thousand-year-old werewolf, had overlooked for far too long. The realization hit me like a sudden gust of wind, stirring the dark tresses of my fur.I nodded slowly, absorbing Ethan's words. "You're right, Ethan," I admitted, my voice sounding so grave from centuries of existence. "I've roamed these lands for so long, it never occurred to me to return to Sophia's pack. Perhaps, I've grown complacent in my loneliness."Ethan grinned up at me. I saw a gap-toothed smile that made him look childish. "Well, we're going there now, right? To find Sophia?"I couldn't help but smile at the boy's eagerness. "Yes, Ethan. We're going to find her, and hopefully, she's still there."I readied myself and started the journey that day. The ancient werewolf in me got excited on our way. The young boy

    Derrick POV.My heart raced as I stood startled, staring at the woman I had thought was my mate. Confusion clouded my mind and that of my wolf, my instincts conflicting with the reality that was unfolding in front of me."Sophia!" I yelled. "What are you doing?". I thought my utterance of her name would bring her back to her senses but it didn't.She froze for some seconds and then turned back to wait for the security men. The air crackled with tension, and I struggled to comprehend what was happening. "Ethan, stay close," I whispered to the boy. The gravity of the situation was sinking in. We were in an unfamiliar zone, we needed to be together. Sophia, who had always seemed warm and inviting, was now cold and calculating.Her second scream and a stern expression on her face caught the security men's attention.They began approaching us. I saw them whispering something. I strained to catch their words, but the unease in my gut grew. I couldn't understand why she was even calli

It was also customary to bring the dead bodies of the soldiers so we could bury them.Every day, I waited by the door as the pack went out in hopes of coming back with them but as I sat every day, I was also disappointed every time.One day, I could not take it anymore so I decided to make my way. I rose from my bed, packed my bags, and began walking out of the mansion.Sandra caught me at the gate."Sophia, where are you going?". She gripped my arm."To find my mate*.I slapped her hand off gently and continued walking, a hardened expression on my face.She came again."But even the soldiers haven't been able to find them, how are you sure you will?".Worry had sat comfortably on her face as

    Sophia's POV.A crowd gathered by the river and I was seated on a stone by its bank. I watched as they dragged a lifeless body to the shore and tried to identify him.Brandon sighed many times when he figured out the man belonged to his pack. His face had been disfigured and most parts of his body dismembered so seeing this must have broken him.I held my baby, feeding him while he relaxed in my arms. "He could be anyone and they just threw on this seal to distract us". One of the pack members who had volunteered to come said.That might have been a possibility but it was less likely.The extent they went just to spite Brandon was at an extreme and I was not sure anyone would do it. Besides, he said he had no enemies.We were deep in thought, trying to wrap our heads around what had happened and how to move forward when I noticed Brandon pull his cell phone from his pocket and dial a number.He excused himself and went into the bushes to take his call.I followed him, my steps barel

He held his breath, a little tensed. He looked charismatic but despite all of that, he looked scared."Everyone attack!" He gave the order and all his men lunged at the distant figure.They already pounced on the intruders when we noticed it was not a threat."Stop! I'm with Brandon! It's me, Luja Sandra". Everyone heard her distance call for peace.Luckily, it was not too late.Everyone retreated. Brandon and I went to meet her."Why didn't you call?", Brandon asked. His breathing became heavy. "My men nearly tore you to pieces if it wasn't for how fast you shouted".Sandra was standing with the Alpha, talking to him but yet, her eyes were on me. They never left me, not even for a second. I went to greet her and all I could get was a 'Hi'. She used to be so warm, I wondered why the sudden

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."

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
