SOPHiA POV. Roman still wasn't done with me, he wanted to know how I knew of what was brought up and after more persistent, I handed him a letter..The letter I got this morning. It was squeezed due to how I intended to hide it. "So you were sent this?" he asked me ww ''Do you know who this was given to?" he asked me as he straightened out the letter. "Nope, it was anonymous and it had my name on it, that's why the letter was given to me," she explained."Well this is serious, it makes me wonder if I will be able to do what I had planned," he muttered. "What's he?" I asked, but then I paused. "You can't cancel your party for a mere cause," I said."Ok, what If I can show you how safe it was for your birthday, would you go celebrate it then," I proposed."If you can, then I will," he agreed as I smiled."So, about the inner court, what was your reply?" I asked with excitement. "I was able to get you in," he replied. "So the next meeting, you will be able to enter the inner cou
ROMAN POV. "Sophia, are you okay?" I asked, seeing how pale looked, while staring at the window. When I got to where she was, there was no one there, however I felt I saw someone."SOPHIA," I gently call, tapping her a little by the shoulder. "I am ok, it's just, the views are so beautiful," she said."What are you saying, there is barely any moon left for you to see and it's just plain land's, you should be looking at the fountain to call the view beautiful at least," I explained, as she looked at me."Then maybe it's you, your presence seems to make everything beautiful," she says, I couldn't tell if she was trying to change the topic or she was genuinely complimenting me, however I took it, shifting to sit close to her."So what's your plan tomorrow?" I asked. "In the shack all day, working with Jared to manage the security system, reform them and quite a lot," she says, yawning as she talks."I think you should sleep," I said, seeing how much she yawned afterwards. "Let's just s
SOPHIA POV.She left me just as the door opened and I was informed of Roman summon to his office.I looked at the place she had jumped off from and she wasn't there again. With her word's in my head, I decided to have my bath, getting dressed to my usual wear.My first thought was to go to the shack and check on how they were faring, even though I wasn't in a good mood for that, checking on them was my duty.When I arrived, I saw them trying to balance themselves on a long piece of wood, held firmly by steel.They laughed whenever someone fell, making me understand that Kai never taught them this."Your majesty," they greeted, finally noticing my presence. "I see you are having fun with your new training gadgets," I tell them.."Training what, we were asked to dispose of it, we were going to do so during break time," one explained."Yes, I know but I am lucky to have met it here and found it in your presence," I said, seeing them frowning.Doing a double stout, I was able to land per
ROMAN POV "Cousin," Xylah called. "What are you doing here and why are you here by this time of the day?"Calm down cousin, I can explain, why are you interrogating me, it's been a long time since we met and you are just interrogating me," She complained."What do you want me to say Xylah, it's unlike you to be seen at night, especially when you are not supposed to be in the palace," I explained."Sophia, are you aware of this?" I asked. "I don't know about this, I was on my way to your office when she pulled me in," Sophia explained.It was true as I could see that she just finished having her bath and her scent was still on."Xylah, will you please explain yourself?" I asked. "And don't you say Sophia knew of this because I know Sophia and I know when she is aware of something or not," I went on."Of course, she doesn't know, this was because I was hoping you will be in the office," she explained."Why would you want me to be in the office?" I questioned. "It was supposed to be a
ROMAN POV. "Sophia, calm down; we don't know if anything would have changed," I said, trying to calm her. "For one, it seems they were already targeted, although sending them off early was wrong. He saw they needed a break," I tried explaining. "Besides, he was just trying to help," I tried reasoning with her, she was angry. Anger was an understatement to what she felt right now, although it was her weakest group members but it's still affected."Bryce," I called as he looked at me. "Can you give us a minute, I need to talk to my Sophia," I said as he nodded, stepping out."Sophia, I think we should take a break," I said, as she violently shook her head."No, I can't let that, this is what they want," she disapproved. "Who wants, who are they, Sophia?" I questioned, but she didn't talk, she only looked at me with her watery eyes."They are trying to break me," she muttered, as the tears flowed down. Her mask covered it, I wanted to clean it, but she pushed my hands up, threatened
SOPHIA POV. "Roman, what's wrong?" I asked, seeing how he had driven everyone away. "You are scaring me, what did they tell you to do?" I questioned."Do they want you to remove me as beta or did something bad happen," I asked, as he just stood there."No, Sophia, that's not why I am here," he replied. "Then do you want me to die first," I questioned.Before I knew it, he kissed before pulling away, his face really close to me. "Did you tense me up just to kiss me?" I questioned."Sophia, I want to send you away," he replied, finally answering me. "What, I mean why, did I do something wrong, do you hate me, are you abandoning me, it was just a mistake and I swear I would never be careless with my soldiers again," I begged, holding his hand really tight."Sophia, it's not any of those reasons,"he replied. "And don't ever get the impression that I hate you, I will always love you, it's going to be always and forever," he says, hugging me."Then why are you sending me away?" I question
ROMAN POV. As I entered our room, I saw a strange figure just leaving the room. It had the scent of a rogue but I doubt it would be sensible for a rogue wolf to be able to steal something. I could still see the figure so I went out, pursuing it. I didn't know how it got in but I guessed it must have timed the change of shift to be able to sneak out.It led me to the royal tomb but after which I lost it. "Your majesty, is anything wrong?" A guard asked, upon seeing me there."Did you see anyone here, just now?" I questioned. "I'm just arriving for my shift," he replied as I nodded. "Then nothing is wrong, keep up the good work," I stated, returning to my room, using the window.I didn't want to use the main gate so I won't be seen by anyone Sophia is having a meeting with.I did not want to tense her up or make her worried. I began checking for what he came here to steal as I knew he was carrying something long in his hands.But with everything intact, I couldn't pinpoint what he wa
ROMAN POV"I hate you," her weak voice stated. "I can't believe I fell in love with someone like you," she muttered, using those fake lines on me."I can't have my mate who is so ignorant and can't tell the right from the wrong," she cried"At least I can finally rest and won't have to worry or get bothered about what happened to your kingdom anymore."I regretted having you for a mate," she finishes, closing her eyes shut. I too regret having her as a mate, was she really trying to manipulate me to believe her, especially when the evidence is clear. "Is she dead?" Xylah asked, going to Sophia's pale body. "No Xylah, she is only weak, too weak to heal herself," I replied."So what do we do?" She asked. "Should we expose her for her treasonous act?" She questioned further."Did you tell anyone what you saw?" I questioned. "No, you are the only one I told," She replied."Good, I want to give her the honor of being remembered as a skilled beta," I informed."We will tell others that sh
SOPHIA POV It's been two years since my marriage with Roman and I must say, it was as if I was living in paradise. He wasn't around much but when he was, he made sure he fill in the days he wasn't around. The problem now was me, I was yet to have a child even after two years, I have secretly seen doctors and they all say I am alright and I can't suspect it was Roman, because he had Mark, and Mark was an exact copy of Roman, I fear as he got older, he would look just like Xylah but no, he was different, rather as Mark got older, he was looking more like Roman every day. I didn't have to miss Roman much because I got to see a little picture of him everyday and that was wonderful. I have never regretted a day I took Mark in because he was rather different, he was obedient, loving, cute and naughty. He always sorted my happiness first and that was all I wanted. "Mummy," his cute little voice brought me out of my thoughts. "Yes darlin," I replied to his call. "You got lost again and I
SOPHIA POV.A soft knock at the door woke me up and I could hear Roman roam. "The baby is awake," he mumbled. "Let me go attend to him," I said, standing up to wear my clothes. "I want you to stay," he confessed. "I want that too but Mark is there," I mumbled, buttoning up my last dress. I gave him a quick kiss before leaving before he could stop me and I shut the door. "Has he not eaten?" I asked upon entering inside. "He has, your majesty," the two servant chorus. "So why is he crying?" I asked, carrying him up. "Mark," I called as his large eyes looked at me. He was cute, so cute that I didn't want to scold him but he needed it. "Try and behave," I mumbled. "Or you will get me angry," I warned and he seemed to understand, calming down immediately. I handed him over to them and left to have my bath. When I was out, I carried him with me to have dinner, Roman came late and joined us on the table. And he left really early. I was left alone in the palace and decided to sit out on
SOPHIA POV"Mark," Roman had called again, after I called the name aloud. "Why Mark?" He questioned. "It's a name I like," I defended, not wanting to be judged by my choices. "Besides it goes with your last name, double M," I teased. "I like the name and I don't care what you think," I affirmed. The knock on the door caused another groan from him as I laughed. He so badly wanted alone time with me but somehow, people kept interrupting us. "Face it Roman, as far things are left unsettled, you won't be having an alone time with me," I said after my laughter. "Besides, I plan on taking a room, far from yours, merging the baby things with my room," I informed him before he went away. "Why?" He questioned, I knew he was going to ask that but was he expecting me to move in with him immediately, I decided to use the baby as an excuse, knowing he would persuade me for it. "It's simple, the baby might cry and it will disturb you, and it might disturb your day" I replied. "And then what
SOPHIA POV Xylah walked in and the first thing I noticed was that she was pregnant. My hand immediately broke free from Roman grip. He was lying to me, he said he slept with her once but yet she is admitting that the baby is his and he was playing dumb. "How could you get your own cousin pregnant," I asked in disgust. "I swear It's not mine," he denied. "I slept with her just once," he said. "Yes but then you release inside of me, while I made her watch us, it was a blessing when I found out," Xylah cut in. "I was going to tell you, but then you announced the reinvestigation of Sophia's case," she continued. "I was so excited but you killed it," she went on as I looked at Roman's face, seeing the realization written all over it. "That's why you had planned on getting rid of me because you already had an heir," he asked puzzled"Yes, we plan on forcing you to sign the marriage papers, close to my due date, so the child can be the legitimate heir when he is born. "Sophia, it's not
SOPHIA POV "I killed your parents," Dante revealed, taking me aback. "I got his help to do so," he said pointing at Bryce. "No, that's not true, you can't let him threaten you to lie to me, that's not who you are," I said softly. "You are much smarter than this Sophia," he said. "Why?" I questioned. "You see, I found out that Dante here was a lost relative of yours that wasn't taken care of, he was tattered when I found him and I agree to give him what every man wants," Bryce interfered. "I gave him power, I plotted everything, for his Identity to be known by your parents and foolishly they took him in," he continued. "My parents were killed by rogue wolves," I reminded, as Bryce only grinned, making me gasp in shock. "You are the wolves that control the rogue wolves," Roman muttered. "I think I left out a detail of how I met him," Bryce said. "I met Bryce in the forest, I had saved him from a rogue wolf attack, but not by attacking them, but simply commanding them," He explaine
SOPHIA POV. We were already at the gate and his men were running toward us, most of them seemed afraid of their fate. It was something they did not plan at all and so my men easily took them. But when we got inside, we were met with the shock of our lives as the whole army was waiting for us. This was different as they seemed prepared and ready for us. It was strange, that I wasn't seeing Roman, nor Kai and neither Bryce. Just his assistant, heading outside. We both waited, wanting to see who would attack first. I spotted Jared in the group and I remembered her promise. Definitely he would be killed here as I have already ordered they kill anyone who attacks them and he would have to attack them. I was supposed to wait for Dante's signal in times like this but I rushed, going to attack him. This causes the rest to attack, mixing themselves with each other. He was strong, showing he had made some improvement. He seemed proud to meet me but shocked that I attacked him first and b
ROMAN POV."What's news do you have Xylah?" I asked her. “The poison did touch her it's only a matter of time for me to hear more amazing news," Xylah boasted."Another news is that you won't be staying here any longer.," She replied. "You will be staying back at your former room, the one you shared with Sophia," she went on."Why would you do that?" I questioned, I thought you always wanted me here," I said. "Well things change, you will spend misery in your room, till I show you my grand plan to have power," she snap at me. The next thing I know was guard's escorting me outside. My room was heavily guarded at the down, by guarded I meant both the window side and the door but I only smirk.She thinks locking me here was a favorable thing for her, she doesn't know she did herself more harm than good.I just need to plan the timing of the visiting hours and for some reason, my meal was reduced to once daily and that was in the evening. I had also monitor the night shift, planning the
SOPHIA POV These alpha word's had me confused and I tried not to act affected by it. He told me that my trust has affected me to the point my eyes can't tell what I am. When I killed him, he died smiling, just like he had promised and his words troubled me. Was this a plot for Xylah to mess with my head or was this real, I couldn't tell. It only increased my determination to want to win by all means. Then I will confirm this from Xylah myself and if it is true and indeed sought help from the person who killed my parents, then that person would pay for it dearly. I was currently with Jared mate, checking in on her. When I entered, I saw her rubbing her stomach with a smile on her face. "This wasn't how I thought raising a child with Jared would be," she muttered“What do you mean?" I asked"I wanted Jared to be a part of this process. Now I am stuck here wondering whether he would live to see my child's face or not," she replied. "Relax, Jared is going to be safe, he is working fo
We were already out of the forest when one of his servants came running to him. "What's wrong?" He questioned as the servant whispered something in his ear.There were a lot of emotions on his face, from plainly listening to a frown and then rage.When they were done, he looked at me and gave me a sweet smile, as if nothing happened. "Sophia, I will be gone for a few days, maybe a month," he stated. "I will be putting you in charge of running this pack and the other packs," he informed me."That's so sudden, where are you going?" I questioned. "There is something I must settle, a debt needs to be collected but I will try to hasten the process," he replied. "Tell everyone I put Sophia in charge and if anybody wants to challenge her, then they have committed treason," he ordered the servant before storming off.Both of us were left shocked as it wasn't something we were expecting. "What did you tell him?" I questioned the servant. "I don't know, a man had come earlier and he put so
