Chapter Sixteen SophieI kept ambling back and forth in my room, as it became harder to breathe. The Shapeshifter demon was close, keeping an eye on me likewise everyothee person, and for all I knew he could be anyone and that only made me suspicious of everyone. Each guard I passed, my heart will immediately pick up pace 'could he be the one'. Even when I was served breakfast, I panicked and refused to eat it until the maid had tasted it, I knew she found it really strange, but I couldn't blame her, I had already made a mistake and couldn't make another, what I needed to do now most of all things was to be cautious, because even the least bit of carelessness could ruined me.Tired of drowning in my thoughts, I ambled out of my room stealing glances around the palace. It had beautiful designs of gold wings on the yellow wall, that looked almost like a wolf, I didn't have the seal to examine or study it, not when my heart was close to being set on fire.Ambling around the first floor
Chapter Seventeen ReeceIn no time, Ryker and I arrived at the royal pack house, as Kyla kept howling in my head, he was a big wolf who paid no mind to women, but in the past weeks I wasn't sure I could say same, yet I did.'I thought you were in love with Sophie'. I hissed through our mindlink.'Yes and I still am, Evelyn is only but a distraction. Let's go visit the blue moon pack in search of her, we already know were she stays'. He whined, like a boy in love.'No we can't go to her pack at the moment, there are more important things to be taken care of, we would go there only after everything has been settled, and Evelyn was no longer in the picture, only then would I claim Sophie as my Luna, and chosen mate'. I murmured, and with no plans on debating what I just said, I close our mindlink.Shifting my attention to Ryker; "Have you called the elders". I snapped as he nodded."They will be here soon".After Darren told me his plan I found it wise that a date for Evelyn Luna Ceremo
Chapter Eighteen Sophie I sat by my bed, starring at the strange paper that was left in my bed the other day. Is been three days and I was yet to get any word from the Shapeshifter demon, or whoever that dropped the paper. If it was really the Shapeshifter demon, why was he yet to threatened me, strike a negotiation, or even worst exposed me. Or had he simply dropped the paper to let me know my secret wasn't safe and I should watch my back.Unable to make any further sense of why he hadn't showed up again, I tear the paper to pieces, it wasn't safe keeping something like this in my room, it would only implicate me if another eye were to see it. Just then my door was pulled open as I sucked in a sudden breathe, could he be the one.Frozen in my spot, I starred at the door without even blinking, waiting for whoever opened it to enter in, and Know if my suspicions were correct. And oh he seemed to be really taking his god damn time, as he walked in ever so slow, his long sexy legs comi
Chapter Nineteen ReeceA loud noise from downstairs captures my attention, as I instantly sprung out of my bed, and from my room, descending the stairs."There he is". One of the men in the living room growled, as my eyes darted around to find twelve other men, likewise Ryker and Evelyn."What is going on here". I snapped."We need our salaries Alpha. Our wives and children have slept hungry for far too long, we need you to pay us our salaries so we could provide for our families. You've been owing us for the past three months, and had promised to pay at the beginning of this month. But is three weeks into the month,and we are yet to receive our payments. We won't die in silence Alpha, you can't be living comfortably in your home with everything at your feet, while we your workers perish".The man who had previously spoke, yelled, as I felt a guilt in my heart. My pack was large and I was owing more than 1,000 workers, how was I even ever going to pay them, when I was bankrupt and ha
Chapter Twenty Sophie I kept pacing back and forth in my room trying to make sense of what I had done, and why I had decided to clear off Reece debt, when I was the who had hacked into his account. But the simple truth was my heart was so vulnerable and I couldn't bear the thought of people suffering simply because of me, I could always get back at Reece and cause more damage to him, just as I had done in the past. But for now, it was necessary I have out the money to those workers especially as it wasn't of any use in the future.If even as little as a strand of hair of one of those workers or their family were to be damaged because of me, I was never going to be able to forgive myself or live at peace with myself. And the shocking part of it all was the excitement and contentment my wolf and I felt after giving out the money, as though I had done the right thing, maybe because I did.Smiling at my reflection in the mirror, I caught flick of the book I had carried the other day fro
Chapter Twenty-one Sophie "Is a pleasure to meet you Elara, I've heard so much about you, more than I could even count, but atleast now I could place a face to the name". I mumbled extending my hand to shake her, but she caught me off guard by engulfing me in a warm hug.She pulled away after a minute. "Lola". She began as one of the girls rushed to her."Bring out the Luna dress so she could try it on". In a blink she brought out the dress as my mouth opened in awe. The dress was exquisitely beautiful, with a long mermaid tale that had beads and rine stones around the tale, while the upper part of the dress was a long v neck, that screamed sexy."Come on, take off your clothes and try it on". Elara smiled brightly, as I swallowed a bile."You want me to dress infront of you". I prod, as she chuckled."We are all females so yes there's nothing to be shy about, besides there isn't anything I haven't seen before". She snickered, as I pulled my shirt above my head, before pulling down
Chapter Twenty-twoReeceMy heart kept thudding loudly in my chest, as I waited Evelyn presence, at the dinning table. This was probably the first time we were eating together on the dinning."Hi". She smiled brightly, as she took the seat beside me."You seem happy today. Looking forward to our date later tonight?". I prod, as she smiled."You know I'm not looking forward to it, I'm only attending it out of boredom". She mumbled, as she took the first bite of her chocolate cookies."Which of the maids made this". She rasped, taking another bite."Do you like it"."I don't like it. I love it. This is definitely the most delicious cookies I have ever tasted. Tell me who made it". She mumbled, as a wry smile formed across my lips."Who do you think made it". I stated, raising a brow."You cook. An Alpha". She chuckled,a contagious one, that soon I found myself laughing as well."Jeez Reece this is fucken talent"."I know right. I can make you cookies every morning". She sets me a strai
qChapter Twenty-threeReeceI arrived at the club in no time. Is a large grey building in the city, away from pack lands, that has a gothic look to it and also the best club around here. More than half the workers and people who came here were wolves, even the club, it was owned by a wolf, but the humans here didn't need to know that.I ambled graciously into the club, as the pogent scent of alcohol mixed with cigarette and the arousals of various wolves filled my nostrils, as I cringed, mentally reprimanding myself for being here and trying to recollect why exactly I was even here.My groin was no longer hard, but I knew the moment I saw Evelyn it was instantly going to be hard, so I hard to do this; fuck another woman and get Evelyn the fuck out of my skin, body, soul, and mind."Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Earth wall striping club, where we have the most beautiful femaes at your service". The host smiled brightly, before vanishing behind the cotton, on stage.S
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
