Sophia's POV

The ride back to our cottage was oppressively silent. A cloak, was wrapped around me from my mom's anger and the impending storm was above my head,startling me. I stole quick glances at her when she kept her knuckles pale on reins and pressed lips in a thin line.

I had just reached and jumped down from the wagon, following her inside. The door banged shut with a loud thud behind us, releasing into space the sound that had pent up. My heart was racing knowing full well that this time I could not go scot-free.

"Mom." I started rather hesitantly-my voice barely above a whisper.

She whirled on me then, her eyes ablaze. My words dried in my throat, as fire replaced whatever message might have sat there, frozen in time; forced, I croaked out my apology. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have gone out without your permission. I.I was stupid. It won't happen again, I swear."

She said nothing for a moment. She stared at me with a lance for eyes, like she pierced deeper, searching for so

  • MY WEREWOLF DESTINY   Chap.39 Exposed Truth

    Sophia's POV The shrill, sharp laughter of Mother still echoed in my ears. But why was she laughing? I wanted to ask, but the words hung heavy in my throat. There was a storm in me, brewing inside, and most definitely that wasn't an eye I would wish to get into.Finally, she had stopped laughing, and the hard-steel expression sent chills down my spine."That wasn't just any wolf, Sophia," she said in a low, slicing tone. "That was no rogue. That was a werewolf."I stuttered out with my racing heart, "A-a werewolf?""Yes," she snapped short, her tone an edge at her narrowed eyes. "And it wasn't here by accident. It was sent. Sent to kill you."Her words stung like a slap. Sent to kill me? I couldn't seem to settle my whirling mind on her words. Before I could, she was bounding me with an accusing glare."You've been mucking around with that werewolf again, haven't you?" she accused.I straightened at the words, which hit a little too close to home. "I-I never did. "I knew it!" she sp

  • MY WEREWOLF DESTINY   Chap. 40 Silent Rage

    Julian's POVThe air was thick, the type that was hard to breathe. The thick foliage above kept moonlight to minimum size as we walked shrouded beneath it. On my right and walking beside me was her. I spared a sideways look at Sophia as her head hung in heavy indecision; each step appeared heavy. My hand clutched at Sophia's arm, not for affection but with fear that my daughter would again try to take flight. Contorted with furor, she had her lips pursed in a thin line, eyes which were sharp accusatory slivers, saying nothing since we had left the clearing, but the silence louder than any scolding she had heard before.I walked a few steps behind them, not knowing if my company was wanted not.There was friction, silently between the females, an unfinished storm over the horizon, and at anytime it may break at any moment.At last, he came to the house and, with a force pushed the door. The bang it gave against the wall resounded in the room, and Sophia jumped. I let her arm go and tur

  • MY WEREWOLF DESTINY   Chap. 41 Let the Storm Begins

    Sophia's POV The silence was thick; with every word my mother spoke, each degrading comment about Xavier, the fire in my belly grew more prolific, as if fed dry wood. I clenched my fists deep at my sides and tried to steady my breathing, but the words kept coming, caustic and relentless."I should have killed that no-good werewolf the moment I had the chance," she spat, venom all but dripping from her words. "He's trouble. Look what's happened in relation to him! If you weren't involved with him, none of this would-""Enough!" I shouted, my voice slicing through the room like a knife.My mother stood frozen mid-sentence, eyes wide with shock. I had never yelled at her before. She stared at me as though she did not know who stood in front of her. But I wasn't through. Not yet."You don't get to talk about Xavier like that," I said, my voice shaking with rage. "You don't know him. You don't know anything about him!""Don't I?" she spat, rising to her feet. "I know enough to see he's ta

  • MY WEREWOLF DESTINY   Chap. 42 The Broken Mask

    Sophia's POV My words seemed just to lie there in some low-lying storm which promised at any instant to break their banks. And to face her was the last thing I wanted; not at this particular stage, because something inside finally reached breaking point."You don't have to lie anymore," I said, and my voice was firm with a finality. "I know, I went to the pack. The Oracle of the Moon told me the truth of my father.My mom just stood there, frozen, in mid-step, her back to me, unnaturally tense. She didn't even turn around. A second ticked by, and then I really started thinking that she hadn't heard me after all, when her head came around very, very slowly, her face as white as it would have all the color sucked from it."What was that?" she whispered low enough that I almost didn't catch her words.My courage was by no means growing, so under her glare, I swallowed hard. "I know about him," I said again, elaborating, "About my father. The Oracle of the Moon told me the truth.In an i

  • MY WEREWOLF DESTINY   Chap. 43 So many Secrets

    Julian's POVEvery step upwards was like my heart growing heavier and heavier. Everything weighed upon me, past and present, and that weight was going to crush me. I had known this day would come. Always had. Yet, I'd clung to the fragile hope that somehow, if I tried hard enough, I could keep the truth buried forever.But truth follows its way out no matter how well it's hidden.I reached the landing, paused, and leaned my hand against the banister. Memories that I'd struggled to push deep to the rear of my mind swarmed into my consciousness now with pungent images. I almost saw before me his face-square set in a resolute purpose, firm, strong, shining from eyes that gleamed like gold in that awful light-his love shining so bright that I knew the price he paid to express it-my life. The last time I'd seen him...I squeezed my eyes shut, but it didn't matter. The memory was seared into my mind, as alive today as it had been then. The memory of the way he'd stood between me and the att

    Xavier's POV The cold, crisp forest air whipped about me, but did little to ease the storm in my stomach. Every step pounded a path to lead me to the grounds as my head swung everyway.Sophia.But it was the second fact, that she'd slipped through my fingers, that really got my me. How had this situation boiled down to this? How could this have spiralled totally out of hand?And behind it all, of course, was my mother.I clenched my fist, the nail dug deep into the flesh. Memories surged for the assassination of the last Alpha, for that massacre that almost decimated my family, all of the lies and all of the betrayal she had plotted skillfully in this relentless quest to be the strong-.Then the training grounds came into view. The wolves stopped in their tracks, looking at me weighted gazes weighing judgement.I didn't have to hear them whispering to know what had just been said. Undeniably, Cindy had beaten me-already working her big tangled web of her version of everything that ha

    Xavier's POV I turned the key in the house's door, opening it. The room inside groaned it seemed at my action. Inside, there was no sound whatsoever. Clicking my jaws, I stepped inside as my gaze was held in one lock at what I was beholding in the living room.Cindy sat on the couch, her shoulders shaking with her sobs, her hands burying her face. Next to her, my mother was seated, rubbing softly on her back-a comforting gesture that only worked to rise my blood.Neither of them noticed me initially; their hushed tones blended with the muffled sobs of Cindy. I stood in the doorway, silent, my presence looming until finally my mother's eyes flickered up to meet mine.Xavier," she said, her voice shrill with reprimand. "We need to talk."I didn't answer, didn't even acknowledge her and Cindy as I strode past them, surefooted in the direction of my room. But then, my mom wasn't the type to keep quiet."Xavier," she called again, this time louder, and that ring of imperiousness in her vo

    Lady Cecilia's POV The silence that had followed him out after he had gone out was deafening. I kept standing, staring into the door through which he disappeared, my mind with thoughts racing at a maddening pace. How could this have turned this way? How could it come to this pass-my boy so cold and despising everything we struggled so much to stand for?It was Cindy's soft sobbing that pulled me back. She sat on the couch-face behind her hands, shaking at the shoulders, shattered. Part of me softened for a moment."Cindy," I whispered, sitting beside her. "Do not take it to heart, what he is saying. Xavier is under too much pressure in times like this. He does not intentionally want to hurt you."She snuffled once and then looked up at me, her tear-streaked face a mask of anger and sorrow. "He hates me," she said, shaking. "No matter what I do, no matter how much I try to show him that I care, he always pushes me away.I let a sigh escape, fumbling for some words. Inexcusable on all

    Sophia's POV:I carefully explained everything to my mother. My whole experience with Xavier, the tension building up in the pack and even my decision to turn down the Luna position too."... Mom, I know I'm not good enough for it, that's why I turned it down."I watched her weary disappear and change to a warm smile. She let out a deep sigh of relief, as if the heavy burdens of hers were lifted up from her shoulder. Was she happy that I did not want to involve myself in the Pack's politics or what?She smiled at me and patted me cheerfully on my back."My love, I'm glad you came to me with this. I promise now that I'll be open to you. Whatever you need." She chuckled. "But I want you to promise me something." She said, her voice low.I felt my stomach rumbling as I pondered on her next words. This promise should better be something I'll be able to keep. She knows too well that I'm not good at keeping promises."Okay, I'm listening.""Listen carefully, it's for your safety and that o

    Sophia's povI listened keenly, I had my eyes fixed on her as she continued the story, her eyes heavy with tears. Her heart heavy with sorrow and her mouth heavy with with words. Her voice quivered as she struggled to let out her words. However, she did not stop, she continued."Sophia, the tension in the pack had been escalating long before you were born. I really don't know who in particular but someone formed a click against your father. They used his initial weakness to lead as yard stick to measure his success." She paused, wiping the tears building up in her eyes. "I'm sorry." She begged.I cuddled her in my arms, something I never thought would happen today. The way events suddenly took a turn was a surprise, one that I was loving. For the first time in a long while, we've shared the bond of family once again, although tearfully. "Its okay mom, go on.""Sophia, it did not just end there my love. This continued over time and soon turned into something I never envisaged; a full b

    Sophia's povAs her words sank into my mind, I felt like a heavy stone was dropped into a well, creating ripples of conflicting thoughts in my mind.The Alpha of the bloodline pack is my father? So it's true?The whole thing does not feel real. It feels like my world is being shifted beneath my feet to be crushed by the weight it has put on me.I quickly remembered when the moon oracle had first told me this. That I'm the daughter of the old Alpha and the destined Luna of the pack. Despite all.the signs she showed me then, I dismissed it that time, thinking she was just making up stories that seemed too good to be true. I never believed my life was such a fantasy.I shoved off such thoughts, believing it was some prophecy meant for someone else. But now hearing my mother saying it to my face with all seriousness, now I remembered the words of the moon oracle.'It's your fate and you can't run from it...'Truly, I'm the daughter of the old Alpha.However, I still have those doubts in m

    Sophia's povI stood right in front of her frozen like a statue in ice. I was about to pick up the last plate when her voice cut through the air and stopped me. "Sophia, wait a moment."The tone of those was calm but it sent a chill down my spine. My heart raced in unease as I shivered uncontrollably before her. It felt as if time was paused and my mind was given some seconds to reel with thoughts of how to apologise to her. After this brief moment, I was about to go down on my knees and apologize when she spoke again."I'm sorry." She begged.Those words hit me like shockwaves from a high-tension cable. Like what the fuck!She is supposed to be apologizing to me for anything. I should have been the one to apologise to her since last night but here we are, and she's apologizing, her face pale and full of remorse.What was remorseful of?My mind was clouded with the confusion that she had thrown at me. What does she expect me to think now? Like what should I do?How could she put me in

    Sophia's POV:The soft chirping of the birds outside the house made my droopy eyes slowly fling open. My eyes flickering and I blinked in confusion, trying to understand the whole thing. Everything seemed strange to me, like I did not really understand the whole thing. Oh! Now I remember. I came back home and had a fight with mom and ended up sleeping on the damn dining table. I didn't even get a change of clothes.My mind reeled with guilt as I remembered all the harsh words we said to each other. It pierced into my stone cold heart and broke off those walls. Tears softly trickled down my face as I pictured the whole thing again. I know we never meant any of it, but I should have controlled my temper. I started this whole thing and I hate the way things ended. I fell asleep here due to the weight of the whole situation.Mother was angry about me going out to the woods and hanging out with Xavier. She's always too concerned about my future and everything, always reminding me of my no

    Cindy's POV The silver bullet lay in my palm, its weight deceptively light, heavy with implications. I turned it over, watching the faint glow of the intricate runes etched into its surface catch the light. My wolf stirred forward in my mind, her energy tense and uncertain."You've been quiet," she finally said, breaking the silence. "What are you thinking, Cindy?"I smiled, a knowing expression curving my lips. "I'm thinking about how finally things are starting to make sense," I replied. "This bullet-it's not just a clue, but it is a key to unraveling the mystery surrounding Sophia.""Explain," my wolf demanded, though I could feel her growing excitement.I leaned back against the chair in my room, holding up the bullet like evidence in the court. "If I am not mistaken, this is the bullet from the old Alpha's mate, one of the pieces he had created for protection, but that is not the whole story.I paused with dramatic flourish. "Do you remember how the old Alpha died?"He gave hims

    The walk back to the clan felt like it took a bit longer than it did, but I didn't mind. I couldn't stop smiling-my mind raced with the discovery I had just made. The cold night air brushed against my skin, but the warmth of my revelation kept me comfortable."You're really happy," my wolf said, 'Why are you smiling like that? Does it have something to do with the bullet you took from the assassin's corpse?" she sounded curious and perplexed, and I couldn't help a soft chuckle."Why do you think?" I answered."Do not play games with me, Cindy." she snarled angrily."What did you find?"I froze in my tracks, throwing my head back so that I could see the sky, a brilliant moonlit. The forest was quiet and silent only broken by the quiet crunch of the rustling leaves as the wind played through the branches. Instead of answering her, I asked one myself."Tell me," I said slowly, "do you know who the former Alpha is?My wolf paused for a second. "The one before Xavier's father?""Yes," I
