Chapter 68

Asher pov 

Sophia entered, going straight to sit on the bed. I turned, looking at her angrily. "Why are you here? I thought I left the room for you?" I asked.

"Asher, why are you doing this to me? Even if you hate me, at least show respect for the baby inside me," she said, making eye contact with me.

"Sophia, you are evil and you know it," I said, my voice heavy. "I don't know your motive, but I am determined to stop you. You forced me that night to make love with you because I was drunk. Now that you are pregnant, you are using it to gain power for yourself."

"Asher, I want us to stop all of this," Sophia said, her eyes narrowing. "The truth is, I want you to be my alpha and I want to be your luna. I don't want to share you with anyone."

"Share me with anyone? What do you mean?" I asked, looking confused.

"Yes, you know what I am talking about," Sophia said, her voice dripping with malice. "Aurora? Does she ring a bell in your head? Or should I remind you of the slap she gave me? Now you know."

"Wait, don't tell me it was because of Aurora that you're doing all this?" I asked, incredulous. "Come on, she's a mute girl and she's in the past. The past is past."

"Come on, Asher, I am not a fool," Sophia said, her eyes flashing with anger. "She is now successful and more beautiful. Even if she is mute, she is still a threat."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Sophia was admitting to being jealous of Aurora, a mute girl who had been a part of my past. It was unbelievable that Sophia would stoop so low as to use her pregnancy to gain power and control over me, all because of her own insecurities.

"Aurora is not a threat to you, Sophia," I said, trying to reason with her. "She's a kind and gentle soul, who wouldn't hurt a fly. And even if she was a threat, which she's not, do you think I would ever choose you over her?"

Sophia's face twisted in anger, and she took a step closer to me. "You're just saying that because you don't know what I'm capable of," she hissed. "But I'll show you, Asher. I'll show you what I can do."

I stood my ground, refusing to back down. "I'm not afraid of you, Sophia," I said, my voice firm. "And I'll never let you use your pregnancy to manipulate me. You're not going to get away with this."

Sophia's eyes flashed with anger, and she raised her hand to strike me. But I was too quick, and I caught her wrist, holding it in a tight grip.

"Don't even think about it," I warned her, my eyes blazing with anger.

Sophia's face twisted in a snarl, but she knew she was beaten. She jerked her wrist free and stormed out of the room, leaving me feeling shaken but relieved.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I couldn't believe the audacity of Sophia, trying to manipulate me and use her pregnancy to control me. I knew I had to take action, but I wasn't sure what to do next.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. It was my guard, looking concerned.

"My alpha, what's going on?" He asked. "I saw luna Sophia storming out of here, looking like she was about to kill someone."

I sighed and rubbed my temples. "It's a long story," I said. "But basically, Sophia is trying to use her pregnancy to manipulate me and gain power over the pack."

My guard's eyes widened in shock. "That's outrageous," he said. "We can't let her get away with this."

I nodded in agreement. "I know. But I'm not sure what to do next. I need to figure out a way to stop her without hurting the baby."

He thought for a moment. "I think I might have an idea," he said. "Let me go talk to some of the other pack members on your behalf and see if we can come up with a plan."

I nodded, feeling a sense of hope for the first time in hours. Maybe, just maybe, we could stop Sophia and restore peace to the pack.

As my guard left to gather the others, I couldn't help but think about Aurora. I wondered what she would say if she knew what was going on. Would she be able to help me figure out a way to stop Sophia?

I pushed the thought aside and focused on the task at hand. I had to stop Sophia, no matter what it took. The fate of the pack depended on it.

I waited anxiously for my guard to return with a plan. My mind was racing with thoughts of Sophia and her evil intentions. I couldn't believe that she would stoop so low as to use her pregnancy to manipulate me and gain power over the pack.

Just as I was starting to get restless, My guard returned with a small group of pack members. They all looked determined and ready to take action.

"My alpha, we've come up with a plan," my guard said, his voice low and serious. "We're going to gather evidence of Sophia's wrongdoing and present it to the pack council. We'll show them that she's not fit to be the luna of this pack, let alone be your wife."

I nodded, feeling a sense of hope for the first time in hours. "That's a great idea," I said. "But we need to be careful. Sophia is not going to go down without a fight."

My guard nodded. "We're aware of that. But we're not going to back down. We're going to fight for what's right and for the future of this pack."

The others nodded in agreement, their faces set with determination. I felt a surge of pride and gratitude towards them. They were willing to stand up for what was right, even if it meant going against Sophia's evil plans.

Together, we set out to gather evidence and build our case against Sophia. We knew it wouldn't be easy, but we were determined to see justice served.

As we worked, I couldn't help but think about Aurora again. I wondered if she knew what was going on and if she would be able to help us. I made a mental note to try and contact her as soon as possible.

Little did I know, Aurora was about to become a key player to this whole problem....
