ROMAN POV"Is she here?" I asked, my eyes staring at him. "No, she left last night," he replied. "You let her leave in that condition?" I questioned."She left on her own, Kai came to raid the whole place and she couldn't stay long," he explained. "Was she at least better?" I asked him."No, she was giving a poison that would make her heal slowly, so she was healing and I had to sew her wound's," he explained."Why didn't you tell me?" I asked. "She said you hated her, that you were the one who killed her, that you thought of her as a criminal," he replied."I found out it was a lie, the day I believe she escaped, when I went to her cell, Xylah told me she was dead though," I said, as the urge to let out my frustrations grew."So I have to leave with the thought that she is alive but can die," I asked him as he could only look at me."Did she say anything about me?" I asked. "Except that she hates you, she had nightmares that would make her scream at night," he explained."She would
SOPHIA POV."I am Jared mate," she introduced, coming closer, confirming my suspicion. "It's nice, finally able to meet you," she says. "I should be the one telling you that," I tell her. "No, serious, Jared told me all about you," she says."What did he tell you?" I questioned. "Just a lot," she replied. "You seem relieved to see me, were you expecting something else?" I asked."Well, I am barely home and when I am, I don't see women's clothes or things in that area. I decided to surprise him, so I thought," She tried explaining but most times her words break."Jared won't have an affair, he talks about you too much, you know, when you asked for who I was, I was already suspecting it would be you," I said as she sighs in relief and shockingly she came to hug me.She was already crying and I helped hrt, consoling her. Once she gained herself, I locked the door, using the key and dropping it where Jared had asked."So your majesty," she called, her voice was already much better and h
SOPHIA POV. "Sophia," I heard my name being constantly called and a lot of screaming. When I woke up, I realized the screaming was from me and I was having a nightmare. Dante looked at me, a bit confused and concerned. "When did this start?" He questioned "When I got betray, Xylah torture," I replied. "You kept calling your mother names," "I still have nightmares of both, it keeps going in a hopeless circle," I explained. "I will have something to help you with that, like I did when you were a child," he said"What you did was to suppress my memory, I don't want it suppressed, I want to remember everything, I want to remember everything so I can inflict the same pain on them," I plead"You won't trust me on this, I know how to handle it, because we don't need you screaming in your room after every dream," "It won't only attract people there and it will attract Xylah," he said as I nodded, accepting his proposal. "Follow me," he ordered. He gave me a long coat with a hoodie. I w
SOPHIA POV. We arrived there and so far things were going just as planned. I was able to kill five out of the ten guards before the rest could come and before they were alerted. Taking my assistant with me I entered the palace to find the alpha. With his help, I was able to locate him and I made him stand outside and watch guard, to prevent people from disturbing me. "Who is there?" He asked, slowly turning to his wolf form. I step into the light, letting him see me. "Remember me," I asked, swinging my swords at him. He dodge it but found himself on the floor. "You, how is it that you are alive? Xylah promised to make you die, I assume when the video stopped coming, you were dead," he muttered. "Video," I repeated. "Since we couldn't watch your torture firsthand, she sent us a video, we watched you get stripped naked," "We watched you scream and when you couldn't, we watched your weak body fall to the ground," he mocked. "You were so weak, we made a bet of how long you can last,
ROMAN POV.I returned to the palace to the awaiting arm of both Xylah and Bryce. "You took so long, why was it so?" She questioned. "Since when did you start watching my movement?" I questioned. "I don't understand," she muttered"I know you send your people after me and I don't like being followed,” I said. “I won't do that again, I only did so because I was worried," She defended. "Is anything the problem?" Bryce asked. “I am reopening the Sophia investigation," I announced, seeing the disbelief on their faces. "But why, she betrayed you, you saw it," Xylah retorted“I only saw what you needed me to see," I said "We will give her a proper investigation," I went on. "What is the cause of this sudden news?" Bryce asked "Because there are now possibilities that Sophia could be innocent," I answered. "I asked you not to torture her, why did you do so?" I asked facing Xylah. "Because she was a criminal," She groaned “I get to decide whether she was a criminal to be tortured or n
SOPHIA POV. "Show yourself," I ordered again and soon Jared stepped out. "What are you doing here?" I questioned. "I came here for two things," he replied. “Go on and hurry up," I urged. “I want her to stay here," he says, bringing out his mate. "Please, she is carrying my child and I don't want any harm on them," he pleaded. “What are you up to?" I asked suspiciously "Something private, I can't tell you, I swore secrecy," he replied. “Then I can't help you," I said. "But I help you without asking what was wrong, can't you do the same for me," he pleaded. I look at his mate one more time and then accept. "Fine, I will help her but she won't be staying in my chambers, if I go out for war she won't be protected," I explained as he sighed in relief. "What about the second?" I questioned. "The second is that I beg you don't kill Jackson, the alpha," he replied. "When you go there, if you eventually reach there, he will surrender," he informed. "You said you want to repay me fu
That night, my men were well rested and they gathered around them. I only told them the formation and I made Gemma wait here, telling him it was important he watch over the pack while we are away. As my team rode halfway, Dante blocked me with the twenty prisoner's. "You know what to do," I tell them as they nod. I separate my men into two, with Dante leading one. The next thing my men knew was following a different route, to a different pack."Take your formation," I ordered, watching them arrange themselves. "Now we attack and we aim for nothing but victory," I yelled, leading them to attack a pack that wasn't guarded and we raided it. As they fought, I went to find the alpha, going to meet him in his chambers, seated on his throne."You,"he called. "I was wondering who would have the nerve to attack my kingdom," he cursed."The so-called female beta is about to take control of your Kingdom," I muttered, walking to him with my spear."So you plan on killing us one by one?" He que
ROMAN POV. "He played us," Xylah yelled at the front of her door. "They outsmart us and I will make him pay," she continued. "There is nothing we can do, we just have to make sure we prepare for the coming war," Kai said. "I bet Sophia is behind his strength but I can't imagine why he would switch sides," Xylah muttered. "You need to rest and restrict your movement, your father and I will handle thing's, we don't want anything happening to you, we don't want you stress," Kai softly said."I will inform you of the necessary update," he assured her and she seemed to buy the idea as she entered the room shutting the door.I was happy that Sophia was giving them a heartache, I wanted her to do more than just that. "Hey baby," she called in a sweet tone. "I am exhausted today, why don't you just cuddle me tonight," she stated, going to the bed as I too went to her bed.She rested her head on my chest, mumbling something before she slowly began to fall asleep.I got to miss Sophia on m
