CHAPTER 7.
Sofia's POV.I tried holding back my tears but they kept welling up in my eyes. My heart squeezed tightly in my chest at the thought of returning to that pack where I was treated like nothing but a common slave.It was where I was punished every day of my life. I even got abused by them at such a young age. My little pain seemed to have disappeared when Alpha Trent helped me.I thought he was different from the others.His eyes and intentions were different and for the first time in a long time, I felt cared for and important.I probably allowed his care to get into my head and make me feel that I was worth care and attention. I was extremely wrong because all he did was show me a little kindness, maybe to elevate his status.On everyone's lips, would be… Alpha Trent, the Alpha of the black moon pack helps a young and tortured female werewolf from her mystery.It was so sarcastic and pathetic but nothing but the truth. I am sure he did it for his own fame and popularity. How could I have thought that an esteemed Alpha like him would save me without anything in return?.He wasn't some Jesus who would sacrifice his time for a slave.What was I thinking?.I let out a sharp sigh and kicked back the tears that threatened to fall. I closed my eyes for a bit to muster some courage to speak;I didn't want to mince my words."You are right Alpha Trent, I am fit as fiddle and I am sure that journey back to the pack I belong to wouldn't be too much of a hassle to me" I said feigning confidence. I avoided any stutter in my words because I wasn't going to look weak in his presence.Since he wanted me to exit his Pack then that is what I would do. I would not suffer myself to beg him."I am not going to suffer you anymore with my burdens. I am going to leave tonight" I uttered without batting an eyelid.He looked at me intensely and I could see the slight shock in his expression.Was he shocked?…Well, I was also shocked by my sudden guts, but it came at the right moment. Without wasting any more time, I struggled to come down from the bed but he held me back.The contact of his warm skin on mine made me feel this sensation that I had never felt before, it was like a touch that made almost melt into his arms."I was just joking, Eva"I heard him and blinked, then blinked rapidly again. Then I saw a smile suddenly play on his lips. Who smiles like that?.His smile was enchanting, I had never seen any one smile the way he did;It looked different, warm and playful. No one ever smiled at me like that, especially not in Liam's pack.My lips slowly parted into a gasp as I stared at him, my eyes were more concentrated on his lips. His smile gradually came on my face."You don't have to leave, I was just joking" Alpha Trent smiled at me."You were joking?" I gasped in disbelief.I was just acting tough but immediately I stepped my leg out of this pack, I knew that I would be completely broken.My etching smile slowly changed into a pout and without thinking twice, I slapped his arm playfully."Don't joke with me like that, it's not funny at all. Do you know how scared I got about returning to my pack, not that I would be staying here forever but at least ;I… would be able to start my own life over again before finding a path for myself" I uttered truthfully.I realized that my life would never have no purpose if I stayed in Liam's pack again."I didn't mean to scare you" Alpha Trent said, his dark grayish eyes gazing intently at me.He stared at me in amusement. Just then I realized that I had slapped him earlier;he was the Alpha, how could I have gotten so awkwardly familiar with him."I didn't mean to hit you, I apologize. Alpha" I bowed slightly and apologized to him.After a few seconds, I lifted up my head to see him smiling at me.Why was he smiling so much?I felt uneasy with how he smiled but deep down his smile gave me reassurance and serenity, something I hadn't felt in a long time.I felt at peace."I heard what happened between you and my father, don't mind him at all. He can be in a bad mood sometimes"'Beta Kyle is quite the chatterbox' I rolled my eyes."Yes he is"I heard him chuckle a bit and realized that I had said my thoughts out loud.How embarrassing…"I meant that, I would apologize to your father but don't let me leave" I muttered,my voice quivered.Alpha Trent sobered up and put a serious face "I wouldn't let you return to the place where they made your life a living hell and tortured you like you weren't a living being even feral animals wouldn't be treated the way they treat you""No one, no matter the atrocity committed, should bear all the pain that you had borne" Alpha Trent uttered but not with a pitiful tone.He gazed at me with something else which was admiration or so I thought."Your wolf seemed to be healing you well"He changed the topic."I'm glad that you aren't sending me away" I smiled childishly. “But your father is sincerely grumpy”He wasn't mad at my comment but smiled instead. I smiled, we both smiled like two hemispheres.A knock came on the door and Alpha Trent bid the person to enter, it was a nurse who came with food and drugs . Surprisingly the Alpha dismissed her and took the tray of food and drugs for her.He walked closer to me and placed the tray by my side."Hungry?""Yes" I replied and adjusted myself in pain.He opened the plates and bowls and the food looked so yummy, my lips watered at the sight of the delightful meal."Yummy" I licked my lips.Alpha Trent picked up the spoon and sat on the bed."I will feed you," He said."Feed me?" I gasped in shock. “You don't need to feed me, I might still feel weak but I can feed myself;thank you”I rejected his offer politely and ate my meal. I couldn't eat my meal comfortably because I could feel his intense gaze on me.It made me nervous, I lifted my eyes and our gazes met. It was like those beautiful eyes of his were piercing through my soul."I would leave you now but don't hesitate to call for my attention or anybody's help, if you feel uncomfortable" Alpha Trent muttered with concern.I nodded in positive and he finally left me alone. I took a glance at the meal and tried eating again but I couldn't.What did Alpha Trent really want from me?. Why was he so nice?.I couldn't help but get uncomfortable and feel rather unsafe.I became suspicious of everything, should I really stay here or should I leave? ThanksCHAPTER 8Eva's POV.I sighed at my thoughts. I was being suspicious of the person who helped me when everyone turned their backs on me including my own mate. He abandoned me, I presumed that he had known that I was his mate a long time ago.But he cleverly hid it because he had no feelings at all for me. He joined hands with his mother and lover to wreck my life. He rejected me without thinking twice about the pain it would cause my wolf.Thankfully I never had any feelings for him because he had crushed me too many times and had made me hate him and his father to the extent that severing the mate bond was nothing to me.Just a little twinge and I was fine. I had no right to doubt Alpha Trent's intentions for me;He stood up to those evil people and carried a petty slave in his arms.Thinking of his arms, I felt that sensation again as I recalled his his warm skin touched mine. His skin looked smooth and felt soft unlike mine that was rough from working like my life depended on it and
CHAPTER 9Sofia's POV. I was agitated by his tone. Why was he sounding this way or what was he thinking?. I stared at his dead panned face and I got scared for a moment. Beta Kyle and I were just chatting and nothing more than that though I was touching his shoulders and arms at intervals because I was in the moment of humor but that shouldn't get anyone angry. Did he think I was flirting with his Beta? The last thing I wanted to do was to flirt with any male here, no matter how attractive they looked. Beta Kyle was a handsome man but he wasn't my type and even though he was, I wasn't ready for any kind of relationship. Even if I was flirting with his Beta that shouldn't get him this annoyed or vexed but I was still a slave to him, therefore I had to know my place. Maybe the Alpha thought that I was going to enchant and tempt his Beta and friend into a relationship to stay permanently in the pack. Well, he was certainly wrong about that. I wasn't ready for any sort of commitmen
CHAPTER 10Eva's POV. He wants to bath me. My eyes widened in complete shock and my mouth parted as a shocked gasp escaped my lips. "Why are you looking so shocked?" Alpha Trent asked me. This Alpha was so shameless, he just offered to bathe me and he was acting like it was a normal activity to offer a woman a bath. The moon goddess blessed me with beauty and I was very much grateful for it but it was causing more disadvantages than advantages. I was beautiful and attractive but it also made me a tool of abuse by male werewolves…I thought that I had escaped from this kind of life but I was wrong. I was falling into another trap which might be hard to escape. I thought he was different but his actions kept proving me wrong and naive. "How could you ask that?How dare you ask such a question as me?!" I yelled, forgetting that I was talking to the Alpha. "What?" He gazed at me in confusion. What was he shamelessly confused about?. "I thought you were different from Alpha Trent,
CHAPTER 11.Eva's POV. "Die"She gritted her teeth, her face was scrunched in anger and hate."Die"Before I could realize, Iwas running out of breath and choking. I was choking but my dress was getting wet. I recalled that she ripped the IV from my wrist. It was blood and it scared me because it was not simply dropping but it seemed like it was gushing out. Despite the pain I was feeling and how weak I was becoming maybe because of the loss of blood and the strangling but I couldn't let her kill me so silently. My hands gripped her hands tightly and I scratched her knuckles with my long nails.She winced and instantly retracted her hand and cried out, she felt the sting of the scratch. I coughed boisterously and rubbed my neck to reduce the hotness around it.I was not paying attention to her whining, I was still coughing and planning my escape from the bed but as I tried to attempt it, she grabbed my hair from behind and pulled me back on the bed.I grunted as it felt like my h
CHAPTER 12.Liam's POV. I had been thinking of so many ways to get Eva back, I wanted her back by my side. I stared at the plate of food with no appetite at all, I had been this way since I discovered the Alpha of the black moon pack had taken her into his custody. I did the most stupid things that any one in my ancestral line had never done. I was certain that my father would turn in his grave because of the mistake I had made. I cursed the moon goddess numerous times for giving me a mate like her. A slave for that matter, a girl without any class or identity at all, it was just her beauty that enchanted me but I had unknowingly lost a rare gem thinking it was a stone. I had forfeited my chance of having a Luna with incredible strength and power. Though I believed that she had not discovered her powerful abilities yet, I was sure that she was still ignorant of her powers and I needed to get to her before she would become too strong to tame. I needed her back as my Luna, despite
L CHAPTER 13.Alpha Trent's POV. I was unable to concentrate on my duties for the past days or distract myself with sorting out some files I had in my custody. Investigation would be carried out over the assault that was done to Eva. I remember when she called the servant and luckily the maid was diligent to attend to her plight. It was fortunate that we found her on time,l because she had lost pints of blood. I suspected my sister to be the culprit but she denied it firmly. I had no choice but to stop blaming her. My father should be the next suspect but I knew that he could not have stooped so low to do something so outrageous. I had missed her smile a lot, watching her in that comatose state really upset me but there was nothing I could do than to wait till she woke up. The moment I saw her, my wolf had an attraction for her;Like a mate bond. I was vexed that she was hurt like that and it made me almost lose control over my wolf ;I had never lost control over him but I almost
CHAPTER 14.Alpha Trent's POV. He had a surprised look on his face as those words escaped my mouth. “You think?” "I am not sure because she has not shown any reaction to the mate bond ;She identifies me as a stranger and the Alpha who saved her not as her mate" I clarified and palmed my face. "What if she's mated and it is just…with all due respect, I think maybe it is just lust" He assumed. I shook my head in disapproval. “It is not about lewd feelings. I am having the emotions and sensations that I had never experienced before;It's so new to me "I argued to prove my points. " From the moment I saw her in that injured state,what I felt was not pity but possessiveness.” I said with the same raw determination I had at that time. "She can't be your mate," Romeo argued. I wondered why he was so bent on disagreeing with me; well, I had a lot of respect for him since he had been our pack doctor for centuries even during the leadership of my late grandfather. I had always agreed wi
CHAPTER 16.Alpha Trent's POV. I shouldn't have listened to Kyle at all. He was a good casanova and he would be perfect in all these things but I haven't had a female friend except… I really didn't want to remember her but I couldn't help it, but she was nothing like Eva. Eva was more beautiful and had a more funny and childish personality while she was pretty and extremely classy. "If I may ask Eva, how old are you?" I inquired. The investigator I hired never specified her age because it wasn't recorded. As a matter of fact, nothing about her was recorded. He told me that every information he had gotten was from an inner source in the pack but apart from that, there was nothing else recorded about her. It was like she never existed or her information was made to disappear for a strange reason but why?. "I am eighteen" She replied with a little smile on her face."You are still a young werewolf," I commented to her. "I am not young anymore, I can do a lot of things on my own. I
