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
CHAPTER 152 Eva's POV. Epilogue. Years had passed and I had lost track of time, though not out of pain and sorrow but happiness and joy. I recalled when I was tortured and cried myself to sleep every night because I wasn't loved and didn't have my family with me. I thought back to when I found out that Liam was my mate and he rejected me. Medical check-up?"I said, "What medical check-up?!" The spoon in my hand fell to the floor clattering in the dining room as I looked at the vampire king feeling the weight of his dog's eyes on my back. That guy was really a one-of-a-kind pain, I had been staying in the vampire territory for while nw except I was no longer in a stinky cell that wasn't even fit for dogs. I had every luxury befitting a queen handed at my doorstep the moment I just hinted at it. But of course, I wasn't going to be swayed by such vanity, I knew that one day the vampire King would go bored of me evading his advances. So fortunately and unfortunately for me,
CHAPTER 151.Author's POV "Where are the rest of them?" Alpha Trent came closer and asked in excitement. "We had arrived a while ago and they stayed back in an inn. I came alone to discuss the plans with you…your parents sent their greetings. Your mom insisted on coming but Alpha Justin dissuaded her and I presume that it was for the best" He replied with a beam on his face."Thank you for coming" Alpha Trent smiled and went to hug him. They hugged tightly and Gael was allowed inside. "Luna" Gael greeted with a bow. "Beta" "Gael, I'm glad that you are here. How have you been" Eva asked with a kind smile plastered on her lips. "I'm fine, Luna" Beta Kyle got up and shook hands with him, and the three of them left for the dining room. Mr Carlos closed the door and walked towards the others. He folded his arms and a feigned expression of displeasure appeared on his face. "It seems like my house is getting packed with more people and it's high time that you all start paying for the
CHAPTER 150.Author's POV "I will not just tell you but take you there" Beta Kyle smiled warmly at her and retracted his hand from her tummy, he took his hands to her face and gently wiped her tears away."Kyle, I have nothing against your Alpha or his mate. I don't want her immortality or want to harm her for any reason…My father just gives orders and threats that can't be ignored" Rosalie mumbled in tears, she was certainly exhausted from her father. She had lived most of her life to please him, she even desired any man in her life to be like her father. She saw him as a role model and mentor but now she realized that he was the worst person ever. "I understand," Beta Kyle nodded with a smile on his lips."I'm not taking you there to double cross my friends but for you to acquire protection from your father. You are having my child and I have to be with you every step of the way" He beamed and pecked her forehead affectionately. Rosalie was astonished by his idea, she never thou
CHAPTER 149.Author's POV. "Father, this is your grandchild and you shouldn't be threatening me with the life of my baby," Rosalie said, this was the first time that she was showing emotions in front of her father. Instead of reasoning with her, Aldon was irritated by her. She was no longer the woman whom he raised to be heartless, this woman sitting in front of him wasn't her. He withdrew his hand from her stomach and slapped her hard on the face. She shrieked and fell back on the bed. He pulled her up by her arm and menaced; "I don't care about this thing in your stomach, just use it and get me her location including access to the place" Rosalie's breath shuddered. "If you can't do those two things then you can say goodbye to that worthless thing in your womb," Aldon said, heartlessly.Rosalie wasn't surprised by the coldness in their eyes as he spoke to her but she thought that learning about the baby would make him considerate. She had done so much to impress him. She had l
CHAPTER 148.Author's POV. "No way, I will not allow my pregnant wife to be bait for those maniacs, both of them are dubious and insane, they won't spare your life for anything in this world and both of us are aware of that!" Alpha Trent objected with a stern look on his face. " I understand what you mean but do you realize that they aren't hurting you all because you harmed them but because they need me? They want me and seeing me would certainly make them let their guard down" Eva insisted. She was the cause of their misfortune and it was time for her to end it. She wasn't going to permit anyone to toil with her family again. She was willing to go to the extreme to ensure that. Alpha shook his head in total disapproval; "I don't care about what is running through your mind but I won't allow you to be a bait, period!" "Do you think that I was asking for your permission? This is your sister's life we are talking about and I believe it's time for me to stop those two once and for
CHAPTER 147. Author's POV. "Those bastards have done it again!" Alpha Trent shrieked and threw the squeezed paper on the floor. It was getting irritating how they were always two steps ahead of them. He blamed himself for Serena getting into that sort of mess. He should have made sure that she didn't leave the house but he was too angry and guilty to ascertain that. Alpha Trent had realized that all this while, he had been living carelessly and doing almost nothing to protect his family. He couldn't see himself as that person who used to be calculating. It was like the constant problems had rendered him weak. He was an Alpha and he should have the smartest mind to overcome the situation. He had been allowing emotions to get the better part of him and that had to end. He's the Alpha of the Black Moon pack and he had to protect his mate and family at all cost He picked up the crumpled paper from the floor, unfolded it, and checked the back to see an address. Alpha Trent clicked
CHAPTER 146. Author's POV. "I always suspected you from the first time that Serena escaped from you; you had released her yourself but I decided not to interfere or try to investigate anything," Matilda said with a wicked smile. "Then, you said that you would find her and till that time, you hadn't. I know how calculating you were and killing her wouldn't have been hard work, therefore, I decided to confirm my suspicion" Matilda said and walked closer to them. Dylan and Serena stepped back. "You've been a traitor and always be one" "Run" Dylan whispered and they both tried running but Matilda chanted some words and they couldn't move from the floor. It was shocking, their feet seemed glued to the ground. Serena began shaking in fear but Dylan still held on to her. Serena became regretful about not listening to Dylan, he had insisted that they returned to the house but she thought that they weren't after them and, therefore, wouldn't attack them first. She had underestimated
CHAPTER 145.Author's POV. Rosalie looked at her father and swallowed hard. She wasn't scared of meeting Beta Kyle and starting a relationship with him but killing him was rather extreme. She doubted if she could do such a thing. She had tried killing him before and it was like an impossible mission. There was a strange connection that she felt with him, she couldn't hurt him again or attempt to murder him. Aldon held her chin more tightly and studied her gaze and body movements, he sensed her reluctance. "Why were you so hesitant to say 'Yes' to me?" Aldon asked with a sly smile on his lips. He had never known her to have a weakness, she had always been selfish and wouldn't think of sacrificing herself for her father so why was she reluctant to end the life of a petty werewolf?"Are you being doubtful about this because he is your bloody mate? Are you sure that you are my daughter or are you simply a resemblance?" Aldon inquired, his tone was filled with dissatisfaction. He car
CHAPTER 144.Author's POV. "You mean the same 'Carlos' who left the coven!" one of the witches exclaimed with a shocked expression on her. "Yes, the same one" Matilda replied and there came silence. She was shocked by the sudden quietness and she studied their expressions, it turned from one of shock to disbelief and a hint of fear. "Why are you all so silent? He left the coven and ceased to be one of us. You can help me bring him down, he has been an obstacle to me getting my target. He is protecting them with his magic and my powers can't challenge it " Matilda muttered with distress written all over her face. She looked at her fellow witches and then the head witch but none of them said anything. She expected the head witch to speak because she was much older and had more wisdom than the rest of them. It was her help that she mostly sought after. With their power combined Carlos would be gone and buried and Eva's location would be immediately discovered. No matter how strong
