The domineering, madness-driven wolf; such a black heart, Sophia thought as she tried to ward off the cold from the air conditioner. The place was freezing, she had searched in vain for where to turn off the air conditioner and resigned herself to covering herself with one of the spare blankets she found in the guest room. As she lay on the sofa, Sophia fixed her gaze on the wall clock and watched as time ticked by. Before she knew it, darkness had covered the sky.
Alan knew he had gone too far with teasing Sophia; she had looked scared shitless at his every word, and a week later, she was still scared of him. She came in to clean the house and fix their meals, but she did it with the significant presence of a maid. She might as well have been invisible.He half-forced himself to apologize to her for his rudeness, but he held back. He had meant every single word. Josh was only trying to get close to her because he wanted to sleep with her. Nothing else. She was h
Sophia had had enough. She couldn't bear to look at Josh, who had ignored her all day, just like Becky. Becky, her only friend in the class, made a point of laughing the loudest and walking by her as if she didn't exist.Feeling lonely and abandoned, Sophia packed her things and rushed out of school, not wanting to stay for another second. She felt like everyone was being condescending towards her.
"How about we hold the engagement ceremony this week?" Uncle Maska asked at the dining table at Sloana's house. Alan was tired of upholding his plastic smile. It was becoming harder for him not to get angry. The food in front of him was getting cold. Partly because he was not pleased with how he was deceived into coming for the dinner. Uncle Maska had faked a health challenge and had made him leave work to come to pick him up at home. Yet here he was eating perfectly. Uncle Maska had caught him good.
"You can wear this," Becky said, watching Sophia rummage through her closet for the fifth time. Her clothes had been dumped on the bed. Becky dropped the bag she carried on the bed. Sophia hadn't even heard her coming. It was getting late, and she didn't want to be late for the party Josh invited her to."You're here," Sophia commented, stopping her search and picking up the bag her friend had dropped. Her mouth opened in awe at the design, and the material was soft to the caress. She loved it so much.
Alan couldn't sleep a wink, tossing and turning with worry. He got out of bed, went to the restroom, washed his face, and looked at himself in the mirror. He appeared stressed and ill, all because of the news that Sloana was engaged to him. Marrying her would shorten his life, and he had to do something about it.The idea of using Sophia didn't sit well with him; he didn't want to hurt her. He needed honest and critical advice, and Eddie and Julian were the ones to go to. Unfortunately, they had alread
Sophia had never felt so warm. She loved the feel of the bedsheets, wherever she was must be so fluffy and warm. And she felt too warm, in fact. Suddenly, her eyes flew open, and she found herself staring at Alan's broad chest. She quickly realized that she was in the cocooned embrace of Alan Zang, her alpha and employer, his hands holding her firmly. How had they gotten into this position? Sophia thought embarrassed. Memories of the previous night flooded into her mind. Alan had come for her, knowing she was a dead human still breathing. He was dressed in new clothes and smelled fresh and clean. He must have just rolled in with her.
Sophia somehow managed to survive the weekend without going crazy with fear. The sight of any expensive car in her neighbourhood was enough to send her heart racing. She had also avoided Becky whenever she came calling. She just preferred to be on her own. She could not believe her friend had gone back on her promise to hide her secret.But Sophia knew she had nothing to be ashamed of. She had not done anything wrong. With that resolve, she set off for school. Sophia was almost there when the leering loo
After storming out of the house, Alan had no destination in mind, but Eddie ordered him to a restaurant as feeding his stomach was his main navigator. The wolves they met at the restaurant all greeted Alan warmly, with some even getting bold enough to ask about Sophia and when Alan was bringing her back. Alan replied to them all good-naturedly, though he did not give out Sophia’s condition to anyone. Eddie, however, hurried to a table, ignoring all the leering stares that were directed at him. Alan sat next to him unable to eat, he thanked their teen waitress and gave her a generous tip. The girl smiled happily as she left them.
News of the war had flittered to Julian's pack, and they were not good news. Jordan had arrived earlier and was in a close meeting with Maska Zang. She was not a werewolf and could not hear them and those darn werewolves were good at not being heard if they didn't want it.Using a hand to support her stomach, Sophia left her room and began walking the expanse of the courtyard. She knew Fega had her in her line of sight but the wolf was not seen. She had been focused on something latel
Just to be sure she was not faking it, Alan got close to Sloana and saw she was still breathing, her form changed gradually back to her human form, and in a pool of her blood.Seeing as she was fast fading off, Alan left her there and sat beside her. That was where Jordan found them. Jordan was in his human form and he had a set of clean clothes in his hands for Alan to change into. Alan hesitated to do that until he was sure Sloana was no longer breathing.
Alan wanted the party to be the best, so he lifted the forced lockdown Maska Zang had imposed on the city. Both humans and werewolves were free to roam around. The festive mood further cheered the residents up, including humans. Alan made sure to employ many of them in planning the festival, which had a lot to do with dancing and eating. The Luna Moon Festival celebration took place at night when the moon was out; it was a special night dedicated to the Luna of the pack. This was to recognize her authority and ensure the continual submission to her authority by the pack.The pack wolves were surprised that Alan allowed the festival to take place. Many suspected it was due to the recent murder charge against him, and they were not quiet with their observations, though they were sensible enough not to confront him with it.Alan solved the murder by obtaining the CCTV footage, or whatever was left of it. that Sloana wasnt smart enough to tamper with. Through that, he was able to prove th
Sloana’s POVThings were going wrong. She had thought she had won Alan by at least two shots. But how had things gone so wrong? Hiding in one of her secret cabins in the woods, she refused to back down. Her parents were also with her in the room as she paced the length of the room. She would not back down like this. All her life was in Zang City: her prestige, her honour, her title as the Luna of the pack. She was not giving that up ever.
Fega's P.O.VFega was walking down the staircase when she was suddenly grabbed by one of Maska Zang's guards into an unknown spacious room. She manoeuvred herself out of his hold in no time.She had the Wolf by his throat, ready t
There appeared to be a bustle of activities going on outside her door, but no one had informed her about it. When she asked Fega, she was told to stay out of it as it was none of her business. Now, she couldn't help but feel apprehensive. She had heard Eddie's voice not too long ago, but he did not attempt to come in and talk to her.The door opened to admit Fega, who seemed to be busy doing nothing. Sophia watched her in silence. Fega had never touched the flowers in the room, let alone ar
Maska Zang was furious, seething with anger. Alan had relocated him from the Zang Pack House to their temporary packhouse towards the outskirts of Zang City because they no longer knew who was colluding with Sloana. Maska Zang had searched for the Andas, but they had all vanished, leaving Alan to wonder how their escape had gone unnoticed. Sloana was meticulous, Alan had to give her that. She and Rod were currently untraceable. Maska Zang had deployed the entire guard force to search high and low for both of them. But Alan knew she would surface; he was certain of it. That's why the Luna Moon Festival had to proceed. Sloana was not one to stay away from what she thinks is rightfully hers. He needed to apprehend her personally, and he knew she wouldn't wait for fate to bring her to him; she'd come out on her own. The city had been placed under lockdown on Maska Zang's orders, much to Alan's relief. He didn't want her to hold any area hostage. Despite the ongoing media buzz about him
