Sofia Stone spent six years trapped in a loveless marriage, only to be tossed aside the moment she couldn’t produce an heir. Betrayed, humiliated, and stripped of everything, she had nowhere to turn, until the ruthless Lycan King stepped in. Dane Blackwood is powerful, feared, and never takes no for an answer. He offers Sofia a deal. Marry him, bear his heir, and in return, he’ll give her the power to crush those who wronged her. But Sofia isn’t the weak woman they thought she was. She was done being a pawn. This time, she’s playing to win. They wanted her broken. Now, she’ll rise and make them all pay.
ดูเพิ่มเติมSOFIA'S POV I remained sprawled out on the chair in the living room, my gaze fixed on the TV screen that I had turned on. “What could be taking Dane so much time?” I wondered within myself, my brows creasing a bit.I pushed the thought to the back of my mind, going on with the movie that I was watching. It's been ages since I last sat before a television screen to even watch a show. Things were different now, and I had a lot of peace and happiness unlike before. The mere thought of it brought a smile to my face.Next, I heard the sound of Dane’s feet approaching. Finally, he had returned. I had thought he was going to spend the entire day getting the drugs. I raised my head to him, ready to tease him. I halted abruptly as I noticed the countenance on his face. He wore a frown, thick enough to terrify me. “Dane!!” I raised, worried. “What's the problem? Why do you look so upset? Did someone say something again?”I rose, walking quickly towards him. He placed a hand between us sha
DANE'S POV I jumped my face without wasting a single second. If Dane was ready to confess, then it was certain he had people backing him up.I knew all along that you couldn't have acted all by himself. The Alpha from the north— There was no way I could ever place my trust in them even though they have sworn their allegiance.They were corny, cocky, and deceitful. “Why don't you wait to finish your food? It might get cold before you return.”I nodded, agreeing with Sophia. With every spoon that I took, the anger in me heightened. It couldn't be helped. I was dying to know those what plotted against me in addition to Mike. Heavens knows what I was going to do to them. Maybe the heads on a spike would be enough punishment, or their bodies being dragged by horses along the streets.I remained patience until I had downed every ounce of food before me. Jumping to my feet, I walked off, Sofia following closely behind me.The air was tense, heavy as well. Sofia remained quiet. No doubt, S
SOFIA'S POV The name rang a bell in my ears. I froze, my eyes flickering incessantly.“Did you just mention Mike or am I hallucinating things?” I had my eyes fixed on Dane as I patiently awaited a response.He turned, his attention fixed on me. “Yes, that's right.”“What.. what is he doing here?” I shuddered, anger rising quickly in me. I swallowed hard, trying to calm myself down.“Who else do you think could have done that? The plants are only grown in his pack again which makes him the principal suspect. I brought him here for questioning.”The words of his— I didn't know if I should be pleased or upset that he didn't inform me.“But why did you inform me that he was here already? I really did want to see him. I want him to know that I am better off without him in my life.”Dane moved closer to me until there was only a few inches separating us. “He was only just brought to you this morning. I am sorry if I didn't inform you beforehand. Would you like to see him now?”I nodded, my
DANE'S POV Mike's eyes widened. Shocked? Angry? I couldn't tell, but the look on his face was one that set me on my toes.The audacity he had. I could have landed another blow on his jaws at that moment, but I didn't. Patience — I had to exercise it.“What reason would I have to want to kill the Lycan queen?” I chuckled. His words sounded funny to me even though they weren't. Did he just ask those questions of me?“Mike, should I remind you of how you mistreated this woman while she was with you? Should I remind you of how you showed her nothing but pain and misery? You have the audacity to ask such question.”“So you think I really did try to kill her, right?” His gaze, fixed wholly on me.I nodded, mine fixed on him too. “That's right. You did try to kill her, and that's not all.”I paused, allowing my words sink in. “The aim wasn't just to kill the Lycan king. You wanted to destroy her womb, so she would never bear me a child?”Mike remain silent. This irked me so much, much more
DANE'S POV I was curious, and so was my wife who laid on my shoulders. My hand scrolled through my phone screen, carefully opening the message. It was from the hospital, but its contents still remained unknown.Finally, the screen came open. “The Allys.. The cake was poisoned with the Allys”“The Allys?” We chorused in unison, dumbstruck, then our eyes met. “Isn't the Allys a plant that grows in Mike's pack?” Sofia asked.I wasn't sure exactly, but she had lived there, and if indeed, the plant grows in Mike's pack, then there was no doubt that Mike was behind the poisoning.That wasn't all the contents of the message. “There more,” Sofia announced, her eyes widening in anger “The poisoning was done to rupture the Luna's womb, but we were able to prevent that. We would love for her to come for check-ups at the hospital for the next one week.”“Damn it!!” I flung my phone onto the bed, totally enraged. Who was the good for nothing who could have done such a thing?Sofia was as shock
SOFIA'S POV Someone had spoken now. Not just any words. Confessed to poisoning the cake.I smiled, but not for long. It faded like tarr the moment I saw who it was. The smile was replaced by a thick surge of anger.It was so thick that it almost choked me. My hands tightened into fists as I ogled at her. Goodness knows I could strangle her if left alone.I had barely spent a week in blood creek, but she had tried killing me thrice. “Why? Why did you poison the cake?” Dane asked, his face hard. I could see how hard it was for him seeing his own mother was behind such treason.If only one could chose their parents, no doubt he would never have chosen that woman.She laughed, roughly pulling out a chair. She sank her ass on it, chewing on goodness knows what.“I asked a question, didn't I?” Dane’s patience was waning— I could see that. It was only a matter of minutes before he strikes her down. “Well, I had cut out some slice for myself because I wanted to eat it. I added some of my d
DANE'S POV “Another one? Bleeding too?” My eyes widened as I remarked. I was enraged, flabbergasted too. No doubt, someone was out to get us. I stood by the maid, my hands clamped together. They rested on my chest as I gazed on.“Who could be doing this?” Sofia asked. Her eyes— heavy with worry.“I have no idea, but we should find out soon enough.” The girl was taken to the hospital, and the cake, it sat before me the living room.It was certain that the problem was from the cake. The poison was in it. I snorted, my fingers rubbing against each other.“Get the lady to the palace right away - the lady who had baked this cake.”I watched some soldiers race off, their heads held high. That little witch. I was going to kill her if she was behind this.Sofia sat, quiet. She seemed lost in her own thoughts so I made no attempt to disrupt her.“Why would the baker want to kill us?” I thought aloud, frowning. Sofia stared at me, her eyes sullen.“I'm shocked as well. I've thought about it h
SOFIA'S POV Laying on the bed with my gaze fixed on the white washed ceiling didn't quite fit me at that moment.I tossed around, my mind filled with various thoughts.I also wanted to know. Who had poisoned me?Some more, I rolled, biting hard at my lower lips. Unable to bear it anymore, I jumped to my feet, moving quickly along the hall.Not quite sure how Dane would take to this, but I was certain I didn't want to remain in bed anymore. “Your grace, you're to remain in bed ma'am.” A guard said to me. His voice, soft yet commanding. I ogled hard at him, anger consuming me.“Who are you to tell me where to be or not? You do want your body feasted on by vultures right?”“I'm sorry, your grace. It's not in my intention to disrespect you. I was only stating the Alphas’s wishes.”“I would deal with the alpha, but if you know what's best for you, you'll get on immediately.”The young scurried off, his balls dangling in between his legs. “Moron.”I charged on, halting only when I was in
DANE'S POV Fear rooted inside of me. Intense.. heavy.I tried acting brave… tough. How long could I act for though?I wasn't sure I could hold on for long What could have happened to her exactly? Thinking of it alone almost made me go crazy.Tears formed in my eyes. I couldn't allow them down my face— that I knew. A Lycan king couldn't allow himself to be vulnerable before his people.I stood outside the hall where Sofia had been wheeled into, pacing through the length of it. My teeth gnashed against each other as I waited.“Please keep her safe. Please..” I wasn't sure if those words of mine could count as prayers, especially from the lips of someone like muse The door flung open abruptly. I stood, watching the doctors and nurses walk out. Their faces didn't look so excited.Did something bad happen? Did? No… I shook my head, refusing to let such thoughts occupy my mind.I gulped down saliva, slowly approaching him. “Hello doctor. How is she?” The words appeared stale on my lips.
SOFIAI wished someone would wake me up from this dreadful dream.But unfortunately, it was not a bad dream. It was real life. Looking down at the papers in my hand, I swallowed down the bile in my throat as I read it through again and again. It couldn’t be possible. I had made sure that I avoided anything that was going to give me these results. Be it those teas that the healers used to give me and the cervical contraceptive that my doctor had placed in my cervix months back. I shouldn’t be pregnant. I could not even believe my eyes as I shoved the papers in my bag. This came at the worst possible timing. Not when I just found out that my scumbag of a husband has been cheating on me throughout our marriage.Mike Henderson was the perfect husband on paper. He was the alpha of our state, and he also was a multimillionaire and incredibly handsome. Everyone says that his wife would be incredibly lucky to have a husband like him. If only they knew the amount of pain I had been subject...
