SOFIA'S POV

As I stood outside the room as Dane had asked me to, I couldn't help but notice the anxiety that was on the faces of those outside there.

There was something completely off about the way they stared. I had no explanation for it, and neither did I understand.

Unable to bear it any longer, I signaled to one of the maids. She walked up to me at once, shaken. “Why do you all look so worried and bothered? He had only gone in to speak to her.”

She shook her head vehemently. “It's not just that. If you truly know her, your grace, you wouldn't speak In such casual manner.”

I shuddered. It was my turn to be bothered. Every second that passed bore witness to the worry growing heavily in me. I tried acting tough and strong, but I couldn't.

My husband was in there with this woman who everyone thinks is the devil himself, and then I have to calm down? It just wasn't possible.

After giving it a thousand and one thoughts, I grabbed the doorknob, turning it heavily under my weight. It g

    SOFIA'S POVI had always known Mike to be a vicious, and witty bastard, but not once did it cross my mind that he could be rebellious, and a tyrant.A deep breath escaped from my lips as I remembered how he was always begging and scouting to meet Dane, the Lycan king.There was no way in the world I could forget that. Most nights, he would sing to my ears how lucky he would be to have Dane even spare him a minute of his time.That same fool was rebelling against him now. Upset that I wasn't his anymore but the Lycan king’s? Thinking of it left me with mixed feelings; Happy and upset as well.“Are you alright?” I heard a voice from behind. Even in the dream, I could never forget who it was.“Yes, I am. What do you plan on doing to Mike now? He's openly chosen to go against you.”“I'm going to summon him here to ask him about his refusal to obey my orders. As for the attack on the officials, I would have to launch an investigation to prove he's the one behind it.”“And if the investigat

    SOFIA'S POV “Why don't you let us drop this. We shouldn't be discussing about her. It isn't right,” Selene insisted. Her eyes flickered non-stop as she spoke.I had never heard her stutter before, but that moment, I did. “But I really want to know more about her. Dane mentioned her yesterday when he was drunk. He seemed quite sober as he spoke about her and it left me with so much worry. Would you blame me for that?”“I understand very much how you feel, but my stand remains the same. I'm sorry, but I'm not changing my stand.”I exhaled, rising to my feet. My hands ran through my hair as I paced around. Was there really nothing I could do to change her mind?Damn it!! That almost ran me crazy. No. I wasn't going to accept that, not while I was still breathing — still existing.“Fine then!! I'm going to find out on my own if you're not going to tell me.”She jumped to her feet, her hand resting on me, “You shouldn't do this, Sofia. Dane surely wouldn't like what you're planning on do

    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.

    SOFIAMike let go of my neck a little as he turned to look at the person who spoke.A man walked towards us and even after almost being choked to death, I had to admire how good he looked. He had mesmerizing kind blue eyes, long chestnut brown hair, and a killer jawline. He looked like he was sculpted perfectly from clay. I wasn’t sure if he was from here because of his attire. He wore a long brown coat over his clothes and when he was close enough, I could see how tall he was. Way taller than even Mike even though he was like 6’2. “What is going on here?” The man asked as he looked between us in confusion. I did not know him but I was already scared for his life. Mike had a reputation for being ruthless. As the alpha of the pack and one of the richest alphas, he could easily destroy his life. Take away his job and kill off anyone who tries to stand in his way. “Mind your business.” He snapped as he let go of me completely and he turned to face the man. I let out a normal breath

    SOFIA The ride back to his house was smooth. I was quiet in his car, afraid to even make a move that was going to irritate him. I did not know anything about lycans. All I did know was either fake or it was mixed with fabricated lies.Lycans were our superiors. The highest in the hierarchy. They were all billionaires and trillionaires who owned all of the businesses in the world. They employ alpha werewolves and give out alpha titles to whomever they see fit.Everything was practically a transaction to them, and we did not mind because without them we would be poor. The higher your rank in their companies, the richer you become and the more chances that you become the alpha of your pack.Mike got in by chance after our marriage and he became one of the richest werewolf alphas in the world. The lycan kings often never come in sight but have managers who relay their information. Their packs and palaces are so heavily guarded that only a small percentage of werewolves have ever gotten

    SOFIA I froze. His words left me in shock. Did I hear right or I was only hallucinating?I fiddled with my hands, gently raising my head to him. “I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you right sir.”He swallowed hard, his gaze fixed on me. “If you'll be coming with me to my pack, then I want us to get married.”The words choked me. “I'm sorry, but why do I have to get married to you?”I was scared. Having just gotten out of an abusive marriage that lasted for six years, getting into another wasn't what I wanted now.What if he wasn't any different from Mike? There was no prior news about him, so there's no way I could tell.He smiled. Gosh!! That smile.It.. it made my heart flutter. Oh, was flutter the right word? I wasn't sure, but then.I remained quiet, my mind racing with thoughts.“Why do you want to get married to me?” Finally, I asked.He moved closer until only a few inches were between us. “I am not sure if this would sound nice to you, but I'd say it anyway.

The longing for each other— it was quite visible in our eyes.For a minute, the air between us was tense. I gulped down saliva, fiddling with my hands.“I'm sorry, Sofia. I didn't mean to.”“It's okay..” He smiled. “You should complete your meal. I have some urgent business to attend to.”He sprung to his feet, moving briskly. I watched him until I could no longer see his figure.Frustrated, I sighed. At this point, I was confused. Thinking straight seemed quite impossible.Now that I had agreed to get married to Dane, I had this anxiety burning deep in me. Rushing into a new marriage had never crossed my path even once, but saying No to Dane wasn't quite easy. He was the Lycan king and seemed like a very good man. I couldn't be so sure though.“This is crazy.” I hissed and then continued with my meal.With every spoon that I took, I was remembered of the cold

    SOFIA’S POVHis question stunned me for a moment. I sat there, the half-eaten biscuit still in my hand, my heart thumping a little harder than it should.“Of course, Dane. I meant every word,” I said, my voice soft but firm.He looked away, his jaw tightening. Something about the way he did it made me uneasy, as though he was bracing himself for disappointment.“But why?” he asked, almost whispering, the words falling so broken it shattered me inside. “Why would you love someone like me?”I moved closer, placing my palm gently against his cheek, forcing him to look at me. His eyes — God, they held so much pain, so much torment.“Because you’re you, Dane. Because even with your flaws and scars, you have a heart that beats for the people you love. You’re strong. You’re kind. You’re mine.”He searched my face like he was reading a sacred scripture. Then slowly, he closed his eyes and leaned into my hand, breathing deeply, as if drawing strength from my touch.“I don’t deserve you,” he mu

    SOFIA'S POV Watching Dane in that state shattered my heart. I had never seen him take alcohol, talkless of seeing him drink himself to stupid For half an hour, I searched the entire place, yelling at the top of my voice. Those who saw me must have thought I was a lunatic.To them, I was, but I knew I wasn't. At least, not know. Exhaustion was starting to eat deep into me when I finally caught the sound of him.He was sprawled out in a corner, looking unconscious. I was scared to the teeth. What could have happened to him?I charged forward at once. “Dane,” I yelled at the top of my voice, hoping he was fine. My heart — it pounded relentlessly against my chest with every step I took.He kept mute, failing to respond. Only one thought crossed my mind as I forged on.Finally, I knelt before him, shaking him vehemently. He stirred, his eyes flickering. “Let me be!!” He snapped, his mouth reeking with alcohol.What could have happened to warrant him drinking so much. “Are you alright, Da

    DANE'S POV Watching Sofia speak gave me so much joy, more joy than I could ever have imagined.I was pleased, satisfied. “You did well, my dear,” I said, reaching for her hand as she returned to her seat. A kiss did I plant on it — warm, tender too.“Thank you.” She blushed, carefully addressing her dress. Staring at her alone gave me so much happiness. How lucky I was to have her, damn.The ceremony had begun in earnest, a long line of ladies walking forward. There wouldn't have been less than two dozen ladies there. All beautiful and stunning, none of them were as stunning as Sofia though. The Alphas' rose as well, one after the other. The process didn't take long, each crying the word ‘Mate’ as they connected with their mates.I watched it all in silence, my hand tapping gently at the edge of the table. Every second that went by left me quite disturbed.Sitting there and watching them all pick their mates brought back Old memories. Those memories that taunted me for years.“I sho

    SOFIA'S POV I swallowed hard, completely uncomfortable. Did Dane just admit the he was partaking in the mate choosing ceremony? I was dumbstruck, my eyes filled with fear. Dane noticed this, pulling quickly towards me. He placed his hands over my cheeks.“What's wrong? Why have your face suddenly gone pale?” I was quite. None of this made sense to me. If he was going to select a mate, then what was I?“Sofia.” He sounded firm, much more than I ever heard him be. I raised my head to him, sadness clouding my thoughts.“Are you alright? This, the way you look, troubles me.” I exhaled. “You just mentioned that you'll be participating in the mate selection. What am I done?”Dane appeared shocked. “I never meant it the way you took it. I'm going to be there, not essentially partaking in their rites. I am the Lycan King and I have a duty to perform.”I felt relieved. Those words of his did the magic. “Are you satisfied now?” He grinned, tugging at my chest. I smiled, happy.“I'll get dres

    SOFIA'S POV I was weak, completely void of any strength. Every ounce of it had been sapped minutes ago as Dane and I made love like never before.“I'm not going to stop even if you plead for me to do so,” he had said as he pounded at me with reckless abandon. He had been true to his words, doing exactly that.As I remained in bed down, cowered around his arms, a smile etched on my face. It was beautiful — being a wife to someone as loving and caring as Dane.“Why are you so quiet? Is something on your mind?” His thick baritone voice broke through the silence, reaching my ears.I snorted, still smiling. “It's nothing. I'm only considering how lucky I am to have you.“Are you? Well, that's a nice thing to do..” Dane chipped in. He was going to utter more words when selene's voice reached us from the doors.“Breakfast is ready, or do you both plan to remain locked up for the entire day?” We both laughed, finding her words and actions funny.My eyes rested on the wall clock, and only the
