Sophia's POVImmediately we got back to Xavier's house, we excused ourselves from Lady Cecilia."Mom, we're heading out." Xavier said, his voice piercing into the air."What!" She screamed in disbelief. "You guys just got here. Come-on just stay a little longer. At least have dinner with me." She pleaded."Don't worry Lady Cecilia, we just need to talk a stroll." I smiled. "We'll be back shortly." I promised.That being said, we left the house, even this she was not happy, but there were a lot of things we needed to discuss alone.We left the house and Xavier held my hands softly and caressed them."Sophia, I know you have many things on your mind now." He smiled. "Don't worry, just follow me."As if he knew, the whole thing was still sounding strange to me. It felt like a movie scene or something. How do they expect me, Sophia, a human to believe I'm a werewolf? Just like that? No, no it can't be true. It can't. How come my mom never told this story because she'd know if it's actuall
Sophia's POVLost in thoughts, I felt Xavier's warm touch on my shoulder. His soft skin brushing against mine. His warm smile brightened my face and his the chilling sensation of his touch sent shivers running down my spine.I looked at him tearfully and his face was pale too. He took me in his arms and cuddled me warmly, making me feel relaxed. I felt like I was resting on a soft pillow and wet them with my overflowing tears.He raised my chin softly and kissed me.He heaved softly and turned to me."Please Sophia, I'm so sorry about everything." Hr begged, squeezing my hands softly. "I know my family has done a lot to you and I'm sorry about everything." He continued, his voice warm. "I want to ask you something Sophia and I want you to be very sincere with me." He paused, examining my face warmly and caressed my cheek."Okay, what do you want to ask?" I sniffled."Do you hate me?" He asked, his smile disappeared.Those words sounded like echoes in my ears and I could not really und
Sophia's POV:Once again, the arrow of sorrow stroke again. I felt his heart still pounding as I rested in his chest. I knew his mind was still racing with thoughts and a lot of regrets. It was written all over his weary face, but he always feigned warm smiles whenever I looked at him. I could see through his eyes and look deep into his troubled mind. He was devastated and the way he trembled gave me all the proof I could ever need. He still felt as if he betrayed me, but he did not. I looked at him again and the chirping of insects reminded me I still had things to tell him."Xavier." I called softly, my voice low and weak. "I must say, I really long for freedom like any other normal human being." I cried. "All my life, I've been caged like a prisoner and I demand to be set free." I cried. "When you came into my life, you brought in that freedom I've always yearned for. You brought me out of the cage if my mind and gave me peace." I confessed sincerely. "You've brought in happiness a
Sophia's POV:"Come on Sophia, don't be like this." He begged and squeezed my hand softly. "You know that's not true. You're from a werewolf father, an Alpha. You have the capacity to lead the pack successfully." He encouraged. "Remember what you saw in your vision, we're going to rule together. The oracle told you categorically that you are one of us and the throne is rightfully yours." He begged, his voice laced with concern. "You can't run away from your destiny Sophia, I'm begging you."I wonder what he really thinks. Does he expect me to bring the downfall of his pack and then, they'll shove the blame to me. No! I'm not doing that. How would I just wake up one morning and suddenly become a werewolf? I've been a human all my life. I've never transformed to any wolf so why should I believe that I'm a werewolf? I've never felt the wolf in me? I've never noticed it's rage or joy? Then why should I suddenly believe I have one and I'm fit to lead a pack? Yes, I know what the oracle sai
Xavier's pov I watched her walk swiftly and painfully out if my sight. My heart was ranting in anger inside my chest. My mind was clouded with thoughts of disbelief and fear. I had a whole mix of emotions - guilt and shame.My face was pale like an empty vessel and my entire body shaken to the core. My marrows felt the impact of Sophia's exit and pushed me to go after her. The singing birds and howling of wolves in distance sounded like a mockery to me and the moon's glow was silently fading away, increasing my endless weary. The moon itself knew I was caught in the web of deceit and lies and further tangled it the more by working in Sophia's favor."Oh crap!" I screamed and kicked my legs in the air. The air was thick with sadness and heavy with disgust. My mind was clouded with rage and hate. How could mom do such a thing? I just did not know where to start from or what to do. Maybe to run after her and leave the pack or just stay? I don't know. I raised my hand as of to follow
Xavier's pov My mind was still boiling in anger like hot acid about Sophia leaving me hanging and she wants to fucking add more salt to injury.I looked at her in rage and felt like snapping her neck. If I wanted, I'll just do that in a jiffy and get away with it. My jaws clenched in anger and I gnashed my teeth together. My fingers dug into my fist and I felt my heart pounding inside my chest, pushing me; kill her! Kill her!Looking at her only brings me grief and sorrow. I wish she never existed, maybe it would have been better fir the both of us. What kind of a woman is she. Does she think she'll stand me? How dare her follow me? Oh moon goddess, help me control my rage, I'll surely kill this annoying thing standing right here in front of me. My whole body was electric. I felt a burning fire fueling my rage and urge to kill. The speed of adrenaline coursing through my nerves pushing me forward to hit her."Cindy! How dare you?" I screamed, my voice echoing into the distance. "Why
Lady Cecilia's POV:After we got back home, they left the house with flimsy excuses and I knew they really wanted to go and talk about what transpired at the temple. That girl was really shaken and she needed some explanations of some sort. I knew this was my only chance to get what I wanted so I followed secretly from behind, tiptoeing along the paths, never allowing my presence to be noticed. The constant rustling of leaves beneath my feet was annoying and I hid myself anytime they turned back to check if they were followed. This was something a child would do but what else could I do, I'll do whatever it takes to get the information I need.The journey was endless and I wondered where they were even going, whether they knew I was following them and it was a trap or something, I was confused. But I did not relent. Whatever happens, I'll take it in good fate. They continued deeper into the woods and I continued to shadow them too until we left the pack. Fear came in because I knew we
Sophia's POV:Heading back home, I cried my eyes out bitterly. I felt the soft vibration of the forest as my heart pounded. My mind was restless and pained. My soul sank in my drowning sea of endless pain. My bones trembling and my nerves fluttering inside my skin. I felt devastated and my eyes narrowed in the distance. My legs heavy like several logs of wood. The endless turmoil I experienced was something I always prayed for it's end, but day by day, it always increasing. When it seemed as if there was some sort of peace, sorrow would strike again. The arrow of agony always trailed me wherever I found myself. It was my fate and I could not run from it. A destiny of unending pain and sorrow. Why was it all mine to bear. I really hated myself as I walked alone on the lonely paths in the woods. The annoying owls continued with their mockery. The sounds of their hoots tailed me as I advanced deeper into the distance, a constant reminder that I can't run from my pain."I hate the way I
The room was a battlefield of half-packed boxes, their open flaps gaping like silent mouths, waiting to swallow the remnants of my life. The scent of lavender from my mother’s old dresser lingered in the air, mixing with the sharp tang of packing tape and the faint mustiness of old books that had been pulled from their shelves.I moved in a steady rhythm—fold, stack, seal, repeat—my mind running on autopilot. I didn’t allow myself to think too much. Thinking meant feeling, and feeling meant acknowledging the weight pressing against my ribs, the quiet sadness seeping into my bones.Leaving Green Hills wasn’t just about moving houses. It was about leaving behind the summer nights spent lying on the hood of Xavier’s car, staring up at the stars. It was about leaving the diner where my friends and I shared milkshakes after school, our laughter filling the space like background music to a life I thought would last forever.It was about leaving him.My fingers hovered over a small wooden tr
Sophia's POVI woke up in my room, the morning after my most enjoyable time with Xavier in the forest. The moment I opened my eyes, I felt a warm sensation spread all over my skin, a sweet reminder of what happened last night. I felt over excited and kind of embarrassed. We were both naked. UhMy mind replayed the kiss that led to everything. I blushed shyly as if he was there teasing me, remembering the whole event of the night. How he rode on me, how he pushed through...The sweet taste of his cum still felt fresh in my tongue.Although I feel ecstatic about the intimacy we shared, I still feel uncertain about something. It was all so overwhelming. The emotions that ran through me last night were too difficult to deal with and I had to just give in. I feel ashamed in a way. This was my very first kiss and it led to my first sex night. I'm no longer a virgin. The connection was all too real and strong and I totally forgot about all these parts.As I move about my room, trying to fres
Sophia's povIn the same intimate moments, I felt his hands trail to my neck, holding me softly and kissing me hard. I moaned softly, feeling the flow of the moment. Slowly, he reached for my shirt, taking it off and sucked my body with his juicy lips.His mouth was all over my skin and I loved the sensation it sent to me. In a split second, he unbuckled the brazzers stuck around my breasts, throwing it to the ground and feasting on them, pressing them as I moaned softly, licking the juicy milk that poured.He took of his shirt, exposing the visible curves of his chest. They were so broad and I felt like grabbing them.He came back to me, playing with my breast, his lips glued to mine. My hand slowly reached for the zip of his trousers, unzipping it with ease and stuck my hands into the dark hole and felt the huge pile, strongly straightened and erect. I pressed it gently, squeezing and rubbing it gently, as he moaned softly, his voice shaky.Immediately, he raised me up, and took off
Sophia's POVAfter the kiss ends, there's an intense moment of silence between us. The intensity of the kiss lingers in the tensed air. I'm still trying to process what happened. Did he just kiss me?Like I'm confused. I don't know what to say or how to react. The kiss was long and so intense. I felt his sweet lips settle on mine. What I feel is something I've never experienced before. My whole body is electric and eager to sink into his. Just a little kiss has already riled me up. I can't even control myself anymore.The weight of the kiss settles in my chest, spreading a comforting and warm feeling all around me. My mind is clouded, unable to think of any other thing, just him.How did the anger and rage vanish so easily? It just felt like a flash now.I feel so strange now. I've never had a real kiss before and this one was so overwhelming and shook me. I felt every moment of it in my bones, spreading to my heart and warming my soul. This single has just opened up a complete new wo
Xavier's povShe began to cry and it made me feel guilty. I felt a pang of emotions hang heavy on my chest. I felt a wave of emotions heavy weighing down hard on me. To be frank, I never meant to yell at her the way I did. I would never do such a thing to her but she forced me. I never meant it, I never meant it, I would never yell at her. I never really wanted to yell at her but it just seems that my anger kind of got the best part of me. The realization of this weighed heavily on me. I hate the way I'm feeling. I hate when I'm angry, she was the one that pushed me to the wall. Now, I just feel torn between my love for her and the anger simmering in me. I know I shouldn't have reacted that way, but it was all out of anger. My heart is pounding heavily inside my chest and my body heavy with the weight of realization. I feel like crying right now. I want her to understand that I'm deeply sorry for all I said. I really am, if only she'll believe me. I tried to console her, I tried t
Sophia's povHearing him yell at me for the very first time left me speechless and dumbfounded. Like I was so weak that I couldn't even utter a single word. I just stood there, breathing heavily as the weight of the words sank into my chest. Those words really hit me hard like a slap to the face. In fact, it was even worse than a physical slap. Let's just say, an emotional slap. I was stunned and frozen, my hands folded in shock and the growing silence between us lingering with the burning rage in our eyes. My nerves sent cold shivers down my spine and I felt the flutters in my belly. My eyes widened in shock and disbelief and I covered my wide mouth with my hands. See the aya he was breathing, as if he'd swallow me or pounce on me immediately. Has he suddenly forgotten it's me? I'm still the same Sophia, Xavier, what has come over you?I was heartbroken. My heart was shattered to pieces. Those pieces went ahead to stab my chest and spilled more blood. My soul was shaken as I pondere
Xavier's povThis words sounded like echoes in my ears. What did she mean by that? No, let's be real here, did she really mean it? Come-on, what's all this man, what the?"Sophia, what do you mean, are you sure?" I asked, my voice laced with concern.She simply nodded, but I did not still believe. Maybe she wanted to get back at me for jumping in her front and scaring her the other day, I'm not sure. She can't be serious.It felt like she dropped a heavy brick on me. Is it like she's joking or what? I hate this kind of jokes. Let's be real here. Why would she just leave Green Hills al of a sudden. No one hurt you, nothing happened to you or your mother, why do you want to run and leave me here all alone. Sophia come-on. I don't believe this, she can't do this. She must be joking, really joking. I looked into her eyes and saw pain and seriousness. Was she really serious about this shit? Did she really mean it? Sophia, don't play games with me. What's your problem? I looked at her agai
Xavier's POV:Those words stung my heart like bees. It felt like I was stabbed with a thousand needles. How did she know? I thought Sophia said everything was well covered? How did she eventually get to know? Who told her? Did someone see us together and eventually leaked the secret to her? Like how? I really don't understand. This is something I was completely assured that it was completely safe. How come she tells me now that she knows? How did she get to know? I could also notice it. The last time I visited her, I noticed Sophia did not come. I howled as usual and soon, I heard gunshots in the air. To avoid me getting shot, I quietly left and went back to the woods. Could she be the one that made those shots or she must have sent someone to be in the lookout for me? Is she trying to threaten my life? What's her own play? At times, when she explains things that happens with her mom, I kinda relate it with mine, that witch. She's just so annoying and wants me to follow her every word
Sophia's povI struggled to get back to my feet, my body still trembling, I got my hands to the door knob. I pushed it open slowly, checking for anyone around, my heart pounding inside my chest, my mind reeling with thoughts.Who could that be? I found nothing but a white piece of paper, not even a shadow of a human. I picked it up slowly, my hand shaking in fear and I struggled to open it. The atmosphere was filled with confusion and it clouded my mind, chasing away my previous thoughts and enveloped me.My eyelids shaking and a flicker of fear passed in my eyes.I hesitated to open the letter as I did not know it's content or who may she dropped it.Well, I still muscled up courage and opened it. The content was very brief and immediately, I knew who dropped it."Meet me at the usual spot."Its no other than Xavier. Well, since he has come, I'm gonna meet up with him. I don't care whatever she's gonna say. Thankfully, she's not even around.Immediately, I slipped into the bathroom
