Chapter Eighty-sixSophie."Let go of me. You're hurting me". I whimpered as tears stung my eyes and I fought to break free from Blake's stronghold."Just stop it, love; you're embarrassing us, and people are watching." Celine's voice broke in, but he paid deft ears, as his hands instantly lowered from my hair to my neck, strangling the life out of me."Ahhh...". I cried as pain tugged at my chest, and out of instincts to survive, I used all my last strength to raise my legs, kneeing him on his ground."Fuck it. You bitch". He whimpered as he released his grip on me, before crumbling to the ground a pile of nothing.In a blink, Celine rushed to his side. "My love, are you okay?". She murmured as he whimpered, rubbing his groin. "That bitch. That foolish, stupid, dirty slave, I will kill her once I get my hands on her." He growled as I inhaled a sharp breath.Celine slowly craned her neck towards me, and just as our eyes locked, she mouthed, 'There's an umbrella beside the stairs; t
Chapter Eighty-seven Sophie I woke up to a splitting pain in my head as tears burned my eyes. I tried moving my body, but it was all too impossible. I blinked back a few times as my vision became focused.I froze in shock; I was tied so firmly to the protector of the dungeon, in such a way that I couldn't even move a finger. Before I could even ponder who did this and how I got here, my eyes drifted to Gina; she was sprawled unconscious on the ground opposite me. Her skin was pale, fresh blood was plastered tightly on her eyes, and numerous deep cuts adorned her skin.My tears fell as pain clutched my heart. Who did this?And just at the exact moment I pondered, my mind reeled back to a few hours ago, how I had mindlinked Gina to come to my rescue. Lydia must have done this to my friend; she risked her entire life just for me."Gina." I cried, as the steady clicks of heels echoed on the stairs; they must have been waiting to hear my voice before coming out.In a blink, Lydia appear
Chapter Eighty-eightReeceTonight was the night the body of my beloved friend Ethan was going to be burnt and laid to rest. I felt so much guilt and pain well up inside me. Ethan didn't deserve any of this, and I was going to stop at nothing until I had avenged his death."Greetings, Alpha Reece." A guard's voice called from outside my door, sounding fearful."Speak." I snapped as I spun to face the door."The Luna demands your presence in the living room." He shuddered. In a blink I strode towards the door and pushed it open before ambling to the living room.All the elders who will be following us for the burning of Ethan's body were already gathered in the living room."How are you feeling, son?" My mom mumbled as she rushed towards me."I'm fine, Mother. Let's just get this over with." I hissed as she nodded in understanding before spinning to face Alora, who was soaked in tears.I knew she might be having difficulty dealing with the death of Ethan. After her parents passed awa
Chapter Eighty-nine Sophie"Sophie!!!". Ryker's voice growled from outside my door as I shuddered. I've been dreading this moment ever since I arrived.I knew Blake was angry at me for the humiliation I had caused him, and he was going to stop at nothing until he had ruined me.In a blink, I pushed my door open and was greeted with a hot slap from Blake. "Ouch...". I whimpered as my cheeks burned, and tears stung my eyes."And why did it take you so long to come out?" He hissed as I opened my mouth to speak, but no words could form."Gosh, you're so useless; get out of my sight." He hissed as I spun to enter inside my room, but before I could even reach for the doorknob, he pulled me harshly by my hair as he dragged me down the stairs."Blake, please stop. I will walk; you're hurting me. Blake...". "You just never listen, you slave. How many times do I have to tell you never to call me by my name? He growled as he spat on my face.I shuddered once his disgusting spit touched my no
Chapter Ninety Soohie"Oh, you're Noah's daughter. I am so sorry; please do well to forgive my rude startup. I'm Heilda, and I'm the course lecturer for History". She mumbled, as sweats broke from her brows.Genevieve simply smiled, an ugly one. "I will forgive you for today, but if you ever try to get on my bad side again, I promise it is going to be dirty. Is that clear?". She hissed as Heilda nodded before spinning to the rest of the class. "I want you all to meet Genevieve, as you've already heard her father owns part of the school, and you are all expected to accord her with respect and reverence.". She stated, as muffled noises and voices filled the classroom. Before a red-haired guy at the far end of the class took the bold step to speak up. "And who's that pig behind her? Did she miss her way?"."Yes, who is she? She looks like complete trash." Another voice broke out, and soon the entire class began to yell and question why I was here.Tears instantly filled my eyes, threa
Chapter Ninety-one Reece"Greetings, Alpha Reece" Luca, one of Ethan's men, mumbled as he took the seat opposite me."What were you able to find?" I asked, as I scrolled through Ethan's personal computer, in search of any information that could lead me to knowing if he had any major issues with anyone that could have triggered the attack."A lot.". Luca mumbled, as I instantly tore my gaze from the computer and back to him, giving him my full attention."I was able to find out a lot of things, but the most important was the magical ball Ethan was working on. By just placing it at a single spot, it could light up and kill all werewolves, but the problem is no one knows where he had hidden the ball". He rasped, and before I could even reply, a young witch barged into my office with a baby in her arms, followed by two guards.My scowl was instant. Who gave them the audacity to barge into my office like that? Did they know I could snap their heads with just a swift flick of my fingers? A
Chapter Ninety-two Reece"pardon.". I hissed as my brows furrowed together."You heard me. I can't live under the same roof with Ethan's killer.""You know who was responsible for the ambush." I asked, as I set her a straight glare."Sophie. She did it". She stated calmly, like she didn't just say something so ridiculous. I flinched. How was that even possible? Alora possibly couldn't have killed her brother, could she?"Do you have any evidence to back up your claim?" I mumbled, as she instantly wiped off the tears rolling down her eyes."No, I don't. But I know she is responsible for the attack. It couldn't have been any other person." She blurted, as more tears rolled down her cheeks."You know Kiara You just can't go around pointing accusatory fingers at people, especially when you have no clear evidence. Come to think of it, what even makes you feel that she will do something as despicable as killing her own brother"?"I don't have any evidence yet, but once I do, I will prove
Chapter Ninety-three SophieMy eyes slowly parted, much to my dismay, only to find myself flat against a white mattress. I shuddered. Where was I?"You're awake." A sudden voice called, as I craned my neck to the source. My vision was still a haze, and I couldn't make out the face of the speaker."How are you feeling?" The same voice asked, ignoring the fact that I didn't reply the first time. The blurry figure began to stride casually towards me, as my breath caught in my throat, and I began gasping for breath."Wa... water. I need water". I hissed, and in a blink the blurry figure strode away from me before striding back with a glass of water.I drank the water in one gulp, and soon my vision began to clear until it was focused."Celine." I questioned, as I narrowed my gaze at her."Where am I, and why were you staring at me like a creep while I slept?" I hissed."I'm sorry if you found it creepy; I just wanted to ensure you were fine." She stated, as my brows furrowed in a knot."
Chapter Hundred-Twenty sixSophie.My eyelids slowly parted open, as I felt Reece firm hands pressed tightly against my waist. The events of last night came replaying; How Reece had taken my virginity, and spoke sweet caring words to me till I felt at sleep in his arms. I just wished every day could be like this, me waking up to see his face, as the first thing in every morning, and going back to sleep still seeing his face as the last thing before I went to bed. But I knew better.Yawning, I struggled to pull myself out of Reece hold, as I felt sores in my thighs, yesterday was really exhausting, yet beautiful, I'd love to do it again another time."Your awake beautiful". Came Reece soft silky voice at the crook of my neck as I shuddered, before turning my gaze to him."Good morning". My mumbled feeling heat raised to my cheeks.He chuckled. "You look prettier when you're shy. So I was thinking about the full moon festival, should I send a call across to Elara to make us matching cou
Chapter Hundred-Twenty fiveSophie"You know you really don't need to lie about me being pregnant, when we could just make that happen. You said you're ready when I am and I don't think I've ever been more ready then I am right now".He let out a muffled chuckle, making my insides tightened. "Your not joking about this, you're fucken serious, right?".I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Does it sound like I'm joking husband"."Husband? Hmm I love the sound of that". He rasped, pulling me closer by my waist as sparks of electricity danced around every part of my body. I would never get used to his touches.In a blink, his soft lips pressed firmly against mine, dominating me as though he had long been starved for this moment. His tongue delved deep into mine, wanting to know all my secrets, my fears, and my anxiety. I moaned in pleasure kissing him back as my hands went to the back of his black hair, while his went from my waist to my shirt ripping it off as I felt the air on my naked bre
Chapter Hundred-Twenty fourSophie "Come on, Sophie. I'm sure we could strike some sort of negotiation". She whimpered as I laughed. Genevieve was a real fool if she thought I was going to let her leave here alive, especially after she had threatened to expose me."So..". She began, but I don't let her complete her sentence, as I flung her across the room, causing her to groan and whimper.In a blink, she began shifting into her wolf form, as I spared a second to laugh. She must be really stupid for thinking her pathetic wolf could stand a chance against me; even in my human form, I was still stronger than her, but since this is the way she wanted it, I let out a guttural growl as I shifted to my demon form, my pungent demon scent filling the air.Genevieve Wolf instantly charged at me, but my demon beast was stronger, and I swiftly dodged. She made another attempt to lunge at me, and as I waited, she was only a second away from slamming me against the door before I dodged, giving he
Chapter Hundred-Twenty threeSophie My alarm clock growled loudly beside me as I grudgingly rolled over to turn it off. Fuck, today was Monday, a.k.a. the worst day of the week. Since I could remember, I've always hated Mondays because I felt weekends weren't long enough, and Monday should have been included in week endings.Sighing, I lazily rose from my bed, and as I ambled to the bathroom to shower, after my thirty-minute hot shower, I slipped into my blue shirt and black trousers—the perfect corporate wear to begin the week. Ambling to the silvery mirror in my room, I packed my hair into a neat bun in order to appear so elegant and beautiful. Once I was done, I hopped into my comfy sandals heel as I strode out of my room, proud and beautiful as always."My love, you look so beautiful.". Blake smiled as he drew the distance between us, slamming his lips against mine.I instantly pulled away. "Have you gone crazy, Blake? What if someone sees us?"."I can't help it, love; I just wa
Chapter Hundred-Twenty twoSophie "Gina, what's wrong? What is happening to you"? "I... I don't know, Sophie, what do you think the matter is?". She whimpered as sweat beads formed on her face."We need to rush you to the pack healer, Gina; you're barely even breathing.". I cried as I raced towards her, my palms growing clammy."I don't want to die; you need to help me, So...". And just then her lips clammed shut, alongside her eyes and body temperature."Lena!! Lena!!". I cried as loud as my tiny vocal cords could carry, hitting and pushing her, but still nothing.'Lena, what should we o? Should I mix my blood with hers? Was she going to be okay? I rasped but was met with dead silence from Lena.Out of my desperation to see my friend alive and sound again. I elongated my fangs as I shook it deep into my finger before doing the same to Gina—the moment my fang touched her skin, I stumbled back, spitting continuously."What just happened?". I murmured to myself as I drew level wit
Chapter Hundred- Twenty oneSophie "I have proof everyone, I have proof to back up the fact that Lydia is a demon.". I hissed as Celine's gaze instantly flicked over mine with hope, confirming my suspicions that she actually knew something."I can't believe you guys are entertaining all this nonsense. Guards". Evelyn growled, and I could feel the urgency in her voice. She was truly scared about what evidence I might have."Hold on.". Genevieve ordered the guards, before shifting her gaze to Lydia. "Let's listen to the nonsense she has to spit. Blake, please do well to put this on video so I could show it to my father when his back is turned; he'll need a lot of comic reliefs like this, considering how draining those Alpha meetings could be.".Lydia instantly stiffened. "This is utterly ridiculous; they should just take her outside and beat her up.". She mumbled as cold sweats broke out from her face."Chill, Lydia, this will be so funny; let's hear her out. Blake set the camera".
Chapter Hundred-TwentySophie "Is it okay, Sophie? I believe as long as Lydia's men did not find him, everything is going to be okay. Besides, who knows, maybe a good Samaritan saw him and saved him.. Gina reassured me as she scooted closer to me, placing a hand along my shoulder, and I could only hope that was the case.'We should return back to the palace.'. Lena rasped, as I nodded, before turning my face to Gina."We should get going; we wouldn't want anyone to notice our absence and start bugging us with questions.". I mumbled as we both sprang to our feet. The green blur of trees passing as we raced to the palace.Gina sneaks in first, careful not to make a noise. After a second, I sneaked in through the hidden door as well, taking each step at a time. Just as my feet climbed the first stairs, Blake's loud growl echoed in my ears."Elena.". He growled as I shuddered, sweat beads forming across my face. Inhaling a deep breath, I spun sharply to face him."Greetings, Bla....
Chapter Hundred-NineteenSophie"Guards.". Lydia growled as two guards raced towards her."Yes, Luna.". They mumbled, going on one knee, as they bowed their heads to the ground."Release her immediately.". She hissed before stomping off with Blake.In a blink, the guards instantly untied me, as I inhaled a sharp breath, before ambling weakly to my room. Once in my room, I closed the door, leaning weakly against it, as I buried my hands in my face.Of what use was my life when my beloved Asher was gone? No, I couldn't keep living this way; I was going to end it all so I could be with him wherever he is. I didn't want a life where he wasn't a part of it."Elena!!". Gina's voice sounded from outside my door, and as more tears rolled down my cheeks, she must have heard of Asher's death and is here to console me. I didn't need her pity or consolation, especially as I will be joining him soon, so I yelled back."Go away, Gina. I don't want to speak with anyone."."If course you do, what
Chapter Hundred-EighteenSophie"Of course you would accept; no one wants to die.". I laughed harder as I ambled to my bed."Now come seat my pawn, so I'll tell you what the plan is.". I mumbled, as a grim smile curled at the corners of my lips. Sophie might think it's all over, but that's where she gets it wrong because this is just the beginning.Celine slowly strode to my bed, as she occupied the space beside me, her entire body trembling. That's good; let her tremble, so she never dares to challenge me again."So you see, Celine, as you already know, I'm a demon, and I hate Elena. I want you to help create enmity between her and her mate; your job is simple: I will transform your face into that of Elena's, and hire warriors to attack you, but don't worry; everything will be all an act; the actual person who will be attacked is Elena; she will be beaten by my men. Somehow her mate always happens to know when she is in trouble and comes to her rescue. I will make the beatings so s
