If there was one thing Sophia was grateful for, it was her mother's speedy recovery. The money had helped them in so many ways, Alan had sent her quite a hefty sum. Sophia had been skeptical when it was paid into her account, and even showed her mother the amount to confirm it was real. She had to break the news to her mother herself. Her mother had cried and acted irrationally at first but had stopped when Sophia told her Alan had let her go. Her mother even offered to take turns cleaning Alan's house. Sophia didn't mind; as long as they had each other, that was all that mattered.
"Are you not changing too much?" Uncle Jocka criticized as Alan passed him the list of reforms he wanted to make. He quickly skimmed through the document, his frown deepening with each sentence.Alan slowly raised his head from his laptop. The atmosphere in the large office suddenly became stifling. Alan did not like his authority being questioned.
To Alan's surprise, everything was quiet throughout the school that day. He had expected trouble from Sloana during her visit to the school, but things were cool. Sophia was still effectively ignoring him, and he wondered why. Her friend was still staring at him with lust in her eyes, like one would a male escort, but she didn't have the courage to approach him which was probably a smart choice.It was while they were driving home that Julian felt the need to inform him, as he took charge of the steeri
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.
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
